&quot;Millie Caldwell, I am disgusted by women like you who would stoop so low as to harm an innocent person. I want a divorce, and I want it now!&quot;<br /> &quot;I-I didn&#039;t do it! Joanna fell into the pool by herself.&quot; Millie&#039;s voice was feeble. She was soaked to the bone, and her frail body trembled.<br /> &quot;Millie, I&#039;ve had enough of you. To tell you the truth, You&#039;re nothing more than a tool I used to protect Joanna from my mother. You&#039;re delusional if you think I&#039;ll ever love you!&quot;<br /> She could hardly believe that the man before her was actually her husband that she got married to! <br /> In order to marry Winston, she repeatedly defied her father, even severed ties with the Caldwell family. It turned out she was wrong about that. <br /> Millie gently closed her eyes as tears streamed down her cheeks. &quot;Winston, let&#039;s get a divorce. I&#039;ve been in love with you for seven years, but now I realize it&#039;s time for me to give up.&quot;<br /> ————————<br /> <br /> &quot;Millie, you&#039;re delusional if you think I&#039;ll ever love you!&quot;<br /> As he held her by the throat, he pinned her to the couch, his face filled with disgust as he growled, &quot;I&#039;ve had enough of you. If you don&#039;t start behaving yourself, I&#039;m going to file for divorce within six months!&quot;<br /> &quot;I-I didn&#039;t do it! Joanna fell into the pool by herself.&quot;<br /> Millie Caldwell&#039;s voice was feeble. She was soaked to the bone, and her frail body trembled.<br /> She was still reeling from the shock of falling into the pool.<br /> &quot;Stop trying to talk your way out of this. You&#039;ve been Jo&#039;s friend for years. You know well she has a fear of drowning!&quot;<br /> Winston Greer looked furious and threatening. It seemed like he was silently warning Millie that she would suffer badly if anything bad happened to Joanna.<br /> Millie was instantly convicted based solely on her long friendship with Joanna.<br /> Millie&#039;s eyes were glistening with tears, and a single tear trickled down her cheek. She was utterly heartbroken.<br /> She could hardly believe that the man before her, chastising her for another woman, was actually her husband!<br /> She had loved Winston for seven years and had been married to him for three.<br /> When she found out she could marry Winston three years ago, she was thrilled beyond measure.<br /> However, it wasn&#039;t until she was married to Winston that she found out the truth. It was Winston&#039;s mother, Gloria Meyer, who opposed Winston from being together with his sweetheart, Joanna Lowell. She was nothing more than a tool Winston used to protect Joanna from his mother.<br /> When Joanna fell into the pool, everyone panicked and rushed to help her.<br /> Yet when Millie fell into the pool, nobody cared, and she almost drowned in the freezing water.<br /> Winston remembered that Joanna had a fear of drowning. Yet he didn&#039;t remember that she had the same fear as well.<br /> When she thought about how her hard-fought marriage was nothing more than a sham, Millie couldn&#039;t help but laugh bitterly.<br /> When he saw her sitting on the couch with a mocking smile on her face, Winston&#039;s eyes narrowed with contempt. &quot;You&#039;re crazy!&quot;<br /> Perhaps Millie was indeed crazy.<br /> In order to marry Winston, she repeatedly defied her father, Terrence Caldwell, causing chaos within the Caldwell family. She had even severed ties with the Caldwell family, which caused Terrence to fall ill and be hospitalized.<br /> Terrence had warned her, saying that she was setting herself up for failure by marrying a man who didn&#039;t love her.<br /> Yet, she mistakenly believed that Winston&#039;s willingness to marry her meant that she still had a chance. She was convinced that her love would eventually win him over.<br /> She had assured Terrence that she would make this marriage work. She was very confident about it as well.<br /> It turned out she was wrong about that.<br /> No matter what she did, it would never be enough for someone who didn&#039;t love her—even her very existence was a mistake.<br /> Winston was the one who decided whether the marriage would work or not.<br /> Winston&#039;s phone suddenly rang. When he saw the name on the caller ID, his rage immediately abated.<br /> In the quiet living room, Millie faintly heard the coquettish voice of a woman coming from the other end of the phone.<br /> Winston lowered his gaze as he picked up his suit jacket and his voice immediately softened as he reassured, &quot;It&#039;s okay, don&#039;t be afraid. I&#039;ll be there in a moment.&quot;<br /> Millie&#039;s breath got caught in her throat.<br /> After hanging up the phone, Winston shot Millie a malicious glance and left without turning back.<br /> &quot;Winston!&quot;<br /> Millie&#039;s voice sounded gravelly as she tried to stop him, saying, &quot;I also have a fear of drowning.&quot;<br /> Winston kept walking. Millie&#039;s statement just struck him as ludicrous.<br /> Joanna&#039;s fear of drowning developed from his kidnapping back then. After Joanna plunged into the sea to save him, she was left traumatized by the experience.<br /> Meanwhile, Millie was someone who possessed a diving certification. How could someone like her have a fear of drowning?<br /> Did Millie think that he would love her if she did this?<br /> She was utterly delusional!<br /> As Millie watched him push the door open, tears rapidly steamed down her face. When she thought about how Winston had never prioritized her over the years, she felt a deep ache in her heart.<br /> She mustered all her strength and asked with her visibly bloodshot eyes, &quot;After being together for these past three years, don&#039;t you have any feelings for me?&quot;<br /> At that moment, her eyes held a heartbreaking desperation. She still clung to the hope that Winston might have some feelings for her.<br /> Winston finally turned to look at her and sneered. After that, Millie was subjected to endless humiliation.<br /> &quot;Do you even have the right to talk to me about love? Spare me the pitiful charade, Millie! I&#039;m so disgusted by it!&quot; Winston&#039;s eyes burned with fury, and his words were like knives, stabbing at Millie&#039;s heart.<br /> Despite knowing that he had someone else he wanted to marry, she still did everything she could to marry him. Was this Millie&#039;s so-called love?<br /> Millie&#039;s knuckles paled as she tightly held onto the hem of her clothes. She couldn&#039;t help but remember what her best friend, Rachel Shaw, had previously said. Rachel had asked her why she insisted on being with Winston despite being the esteemed heiress of the Caldwell family.<br /> She was at a loss as well.<br /> It could have been because when she was bullied at 17 years old, Winston was the one who firmly protected her. At that moment, he even reassured her, saying, &quot;Mills, don&#039;t be afraid.&quot;<br /> However, Millie finally realized that phrase was something that could be offered to anyone.<br /> Millie gently closed her eyes as tears streamed down her cheeks. Millie was so numb that she couldn&#039;t even feel her own heartbreak.<br /> In the past three years, she had gone through so much pain. All of it was caused by the person she loved the most—Winston!<br /> In Winston&#039;s eyes, she was simply a cold-hearted and treacherous woman who wanted to get rid of his sweetheart.<br /> After seven years, even a glacier would have melted. Yet, she was still unable to gain an ounce of trust from Winston.<br /> Instead of mutually tormenting each other, it was better to end it as soon as possible.<br /> She didn&#039;t want to carry on with this marriage anymore. It was a marriage that disgusted him. She couldn&#039;t bear the thought of continuing this marriage.<br /> Millie wiped her tears away and fixed her gaze on him as she calmly said, &quot;Winston, let&#039;s get a divorce.&quot;<br /> Winston&#039;s footsteps faltered for a moment. When he turned around, his gaze fell on Millie, and a flash of surprise passed through his eyes.<br /> A sudden pang of pain shot through his heart, finding it somewhat unbelievable that Millie would actually say that.<br /> Over the past three years, she had consistently played the part of the perfect wife and done everything she could to preserve their marriage.<br /> Despite his harsh words over the years, she had never brought up a divorce before.<br /> What was she trying to pull here?<br /> Winston&#039;s throat bobbed as he frowned and growled out a warning, &quot;Give it a rest, Millie. Go to the hospital and apologize to Jo right away!&quot;<br /> Millie felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.<br /> She hardened her heart and spoke to him with a steely voice, &quot;Do you not understand what I just said? I want a divorce!&quot;<br /> Winston was momentarily stunned by the shouting and his expression involuntarily darkened.<br /> Millie was standing near the couch. Although they were only a few feet apart, it felt like they were worlds apart.<br /> It seemed like Winston hadn&#039;t paid much attention to Millie in a long time.<br /> She had become noticeably thinner, and she was no longer as radiant and beautiful as she was before she married him. At that moment, her entire being looked somewhat gloomy.<br /> It was still May, and Yerwick City hadn&#039;t officially entered summer yet. She fell into the pool and was immersed in cold water. She was shaking uncontrollably, looking quite disheveled.<br /> Winston&#039;s thoughts were momentarily whisked back to his youth.<br /> Millie, the beloved heiress of the Caldwell family, was a talented young lady cherished by many. She excelled in many pursuits, attracting admirers from all over the city.<br /> Yet, Millie only had him in her heart. She kept insisting that she would only marry him.<br /> During that period when Gloria was unwell, Millie, a pampered young lady, who had never done any household chores, learned how to make soup and give proper massages. She took great care of his demanding mother.<br /> At that moment, he didn&#039;t harbor any dislike toward Millie and was even willing to marry her.<br /> When did things change?<br /> It was when he was determined to marry Joanna, but Millie still went to great lengths to marry him.<br /> Winston frowned slightly and growled, &quot;Millie, I&#039;m not going to give in to you anymore.&quot;<br /> According to reason, he should have been happy that Millie wanted a divorce.<br /> Yet, for some reason, as he looked at Millie&#039;s face, he felt inexplicably stifled inside.<br /> &quot;Are you sure you&#039;ve made up your mind about the divorce?&quot; Winston&#039;s gaze lingered on Millie, suddenly feeling like he didn&#039;t know her at all.<br /> After all the effort she invested in this marriage, was she genuinely willing to get divorced?<br /> Winston was dressed in a suit that accentuated his tall and slender build. He was exceptionally good-looking. His eyes were cold yet irresistibly alluring.<br /> It was exactly this face that made Millie fall deeply in love with him.<br /> In order to make the marriage work, she had suffered through his cold stares and Joanna&#039;s presence repeatedly. She believed that she had done her best in this marriage.<br /> However, marriage was something that required effort from both sides. She couldn&#039;t hold it together by herself.<br /> She didn&#039;t want to be a doormat in their marriage, nor did she want to continue interfering with other people&#039;s relationships anymore.<br /> Millie smiled warmly as she responded, &quot;I&#039;ve made up my mind about it.&quot;<br /> Winston&#039;s brow furrowed for a moment, and his grip on his coat tightened. Once again, he felt inexplicably stifled in his heart.<br /> &quot;Winston, I&#039;ve been in love with you for seven years, but now I realize it&#039;s time for me to give up.&quot; Millie held back her tears, stifling the pain in her heart, and maintained a gentle smile as she said that.<br /> She had to throw in the towel. She realized that she would never be able to win Winston&#039;s love since he was still in love with Joanna.<br /> Although she didn&#039;t want to admit that her marriage had failed, she had to come to terms with it.<br /> When he heard what she had said, Winston felt somewhat suffocated.<br /> &quot;Suit yourself.&quot;<br /> In any case, Millie had a habit of throwing tantrums. After a few days, she would probably get over it.<br /> Soon after, the door was slammed shut with a violent thud.<br /> Millie collapsed onto the couch and smiled wryly.<br /> It was time for her to come to terms with reality and let go of Winston.<br /> Millie took out her phone and dialed a number.<br /> <br /> &quot;Dad, you were right all along. Winston will never love me the way I love him. I&#039;ve finally realized my mistake, and I&#039;ll return home now.&quot;<br /> Millie&#039;s hoarse voice echoed through the empty living room.<br /> Not only were the Caldwells the most affluent family in Lumina City, but they were also renowned for their medical lineage.<br /> Millie&#039;s grandfather, Arthur Caldwell, was a successful businessman, and her grandmother, Layla Cadmore, was a renowned cardiothoracic surgery professor. They were considered a match made in heaven.<br /> Millie had been studying medicine with her grandmother since she was a child. Layla had even said that she was a genius destined for the medical field!<br /> Her grandparents had laid the groundwork for her future, her father had amassed a vast fortune for her to inherit, and her mother had assured her that she could always live freely under her protection.<br /> Yet she sacrificed everything for Winston and reduced herself to this sorry state.<br /> At that time, she was very idealistic about love, thinking she could overcome anything for the sake of it.<br /> She must have been out of her mind back then.<br /> Millie took a deep breath, then went upstairs to take a shower. After that, she changed her clothes and put on some light makeup.<br /> She had already cleared out all of her belongings.<br /> A painting of a sunset was hanging on the wall behind the living room couch. It was a piece that she and Winston had painted together.<br /> Millie stood before it and gently touched it. She couldn&#039;t help but reminisce about the time when she happily got married to Winston.<br /> At that time, Gloria said Winston was willing to marry her. However, there wouldn&#039;t be any wedding ceremony.<br /> Millie didn&#039;t think it mattered. As long as she could marry Winston, the wedding wasn&#039;t that important.<br /> However, Terrence was enraged when he found out about it. Back then, he had even warned her that she was rushing into the marriage and would live to regret it.<br /> Millie held back her tears and took down the painting. She ruthlessly destroyed it and threw it into the trash can.<br /> Terrence was right. She&#039;d almost lost her life in this marriage. She regretted it now.<br /> Henceforth, she was ready to put the past behind her and start anew.<br /> Millie placed the divorce papers that Winston had thrown at her on their wedding night on the coffee table.<br /> She smiled gently, her face glowing as she said, &quot;Winston, you&#039;ve got what you wanted. I hope you&#039;re happy now.&quot;<br /> After closing the door of the villa, Millie turned around and saw the purple Pagani parked at the entrance, which belonged exclusively to her.<br /> A young man stepped out of the car and his lips curled into a playful smile as he spoke, &quot;Ms. Caldwell, it seems like you&#039;ve finally decided to leave here.&quot;<br /> &quot;You didn&#039;t take long.&quot; Millie circled the car and got into the driver&#039;s seat.<br /> Marvin Maddock was Millie&#039;s loyal follower. When he was a child, he was very naughty. One day, he nearly drowned in the swimming pool and it was Millie who saved him back then.<br /> Since then, he had been at Millie&#039;s beck and call, never once complaining about the tasks she gave him.<br /> &quot;Of course! I&#039;ve been waiting for this for three years!&quot;<br /> A wave of sadness washed over Millie as she secured her seatbelt. &quot;Did all of you think that my marriage would end up in failure?&quot;<br /> Marvin glanced at Millie warily, and his silence spoke volumes.<br /> Millie&#039;s doe eyes dimmed slightly.<br /> Despite everyone&#039;s warning, she still fell head over heels for Winston. She even went ahead and married him!<br /> Millie&#039;s heart clenched as she thought about it.<br /> She took the wheel in one hand and shifted gears with the other. After that, she floored the accelerator and drove away, leaving a trail of dust behind her.<br /> As the Pagani sped down the road, its engine roared angrily like a beast—just like its owner.<br /> Before long, they pulled over in front of a tattoo parlor. Millie got out of the car and went inside, with Marvin right behind her.<br /> &quot;Ryan, I&#039;d like this tattoo.&quot; Millie handed the iPad to the man beside her.<br /> It was a butterfly design. It was unique, beautiful, and incredibly lifelike.<br /> &quot;Where do you want it inked?&quot; Ryan Newman asked Millie.<br /> Millie took off her coat, revealing a black tank top underneath. She had smooth skin and a perfect figure.<br /> There was a deep scar on Millie&#039;s right shoulder.<br /> Ryan exclaimed in surprise, &quot;This is—&quot;<br /> Before Millie could respond, Marvin said, &quot;She was truly young and reckless back then. She got this when she saved that scumbag.&quot;<br /> Ryan figured it out right away. That scumbag was most likely Winston.<br /> Everyone knew that Millie liked Winston a lot. It was quite a sensational affair back then.<br /> Besides Winston, there was no one worth risking her life for.<br /> Millie laid face down on the bed and said, &quot;There&#039;s no need to apply numbing cream. You can just go ahead and start inking.&quot;<br /> Ryan wanted to tell Millie that it would hurt. However, he ultimately decided to do what Millie wanted instead.<br /> Millie had always been stubborn. Once she made up her mind, nothing could sway her.<br /> Otherwise, she wouldn&#039;t have gotten herself into such a mess with Winston.<br /> &quot;It&#039;s quite a severe scar.&quot;<br /> Ryan&#039;s voice was filled with pain as he said, &quot;I never knew you had a scar on your back before. You really sacrificed a lot for that scumbag. What did you get in return, huh?&quot;<br /> Millie closed her eyes, and her mind wandered back to four years ago.<br /> Winston was kidnapped, and the kidnappers were after his life. She secretly followed them by herself to stall time.<br /> After being discovered, the kidnappers were captivated by her beauty and wanted to exchange her for Winston. She readily agreed to it.<br /> She got into a fight with the kidnappers and ended up getting stabbed in the back. When they realized that she was the heiress of the Caldwell family, the kidnappers knew that they wouldn&#039;t make it out alive as long as she was alive.<br /> Therefore, they decided to kill her. They tied her up, weighed her down with a rock, and threw her into the sea!<br /> She was submerged in the sea and she kept choking on water as her body kept sinking. She felt a sense of suffocation overwhelming her as she struggled.<br /> Since then, she had a fear of drowning.<br /> Millie gritted her teeth as the pain in her back intensified.<br /> Once she covered the scar, it would erase any proof that she had ever loved him.<br /> She chose not to use any numbing cream so that she could remember this pain vividly.<br /> She was determined to live for herself from that moment on.
