PERSON_PROFILE

Bryan was slicing fruit for his mother-in-law when his phone rang. He looked around to make sure there’s no one close to him before picking it up.

“Liana. I remember I’ve told you not to contact me unless it's necessary." He lowered his voice and said a bit harshly.

"Sorry, Mr. Bryan. But congratulations! Your wife has achieved great success. She has finally made it and become the best actress in Glare, standing on the stage of Heavenwood and enjoying the attentions from all over the world.” A gentle and pleasant female voice came from the phone.

Bryan was first stunned, then as if suddenly remembering something, he reproached himself, "Oh, gosh, I didn’t know this important thing!"

But then he couldn’t help muttering, “But...why didn’t Amelia tell me to attend the ceremony with her?” He felt a little upset.

As Amelia’s husband, he should be allowed to accompany with her. Also more importantly, he wanted to tell the whole world that Amelia is his wife! But he had lost the best opportunity.

“She must be too busy!” Bryan relieved himself in heart.

At that moment, a voice suddenly roared from the living room, which startled him.

“What are you doing in the kitchen? Where is the fruit? Take it to me now!”

That was Mrs. Hailey, Amelia's mother, whose attitude toward Bryan became increasingly worse as her daughter became more and more famous.

In the past, when Amelia was only an unknown actress, Mrs. Hailey always praised Bryan as a good husband; But after her Amelia became famous, she started to look down on Bryan, thinking that a stay-at-home husband was not good enough for her big star daughter.

Bryan immediately hung up the call, sliced the fruit as quickly as possible, and rushed to give it to her.

He gently placed the plate in front of Mrs. Hailey, who was glaring at him. “Good-for-nothing! What kind of fruit is this?” she snapped.

“Apples and bananas, ma'am.” Bryan replied, keeping his voice humble and his gaze lowered.

“Foolish guy, are you a deaf? Or even the poverty in your life has spread through your brain? Don’t you know I dislike apples and bananas? You are really annoying me!” she shouted.

“Sorry, but you didn’t...” Bryan felt very aggrieved and wanted to explain.

“Shut up! You useless trash!” She glared fiercely at Bryan and shouted to cut off his explanation.

In fact, she didn't hate apples and bananas, she was just looking for trouble.

Bryan stood there, suffering from her chattering. It wasn't the first time he had heard those humiliations, but out of respect to his wife, he also respect her mother.

Finally, Mrs. Hailey got tired of scolding him. She took a glass of water that Bryan handed over, took a sip and looked at him with disgust, shouting, “ Get lost! Don’t block me from watch TV.”

At this moment, Bryan saw the live broadcast of the Grayer Awards Ceremony on the screen, and exactly, it was his wife's turn!

Bryan blushed immediately as Amelia walked on stage. She looked so pretty, wearing a stunning off-shoulder gown that accentuated her figure.

She was shining brightly! She was the center of attention!

"That's my daughter!" Mrs. Hailey excitedly shouted, but she soon got calm when she saw Bryan.

She mocked, "Bryan, you are such a piece of waste. Look, how excellent my daughter is! You're only hindering her progress!"

"But...she is my wife..." Bryan protested, he even wanted to tell this snob what he had secretly done for his wife.

However, he can’t expose it because Amelia always hoped to succeed because of her own hard work.

"You are not even worthy to be Amelia’s husband. My superstar daughter deserves better man! Hump, clean up the room right now!" she commanded, her eyes full of contempt.

“I’ve done it this morning.” .

“Do it again!”

Bryan knew arguing with her was baseless. So he hurriedly picked up the rag and started cleaning the living room.

The stage anchor's voice boomed from the TV, "And here we have our beautiful, talented Amelia, the best actress of the year. Please welcome her with a round of applause!"

Bryan stole glances at the TV as he cleaned up the room. He quietly joined in the clapping.

Amelia collected the award and began her acceptance speech:

"Thank you so much for this incredible honor. All thanks to my fans, team, and supporters. First, I'd like to thank my wonderful mother for always believing in me and supporting me every step of the way. Your unwavering love and guidance have been my anchor.”

Mrs. Hailey laughed excitedly, very proud of her daughter; Bryan's eyes were glued to the TV, confident that his name would be mentioned then. He knew that!

“I also want to express my deep gratitude to my amazing director and other teammates, they really taught me a lot...”

“......”

Bryan felt anxious. As time went by, he didn’t hear anything relevant to him in Amelia’s speech.

“But Why? I’m her husband!” Bryan thought in mind, feeling disappointed.

“Amelia will definitely mention me in the end! We deeply love each other!” Bryan muttered to himself, as if he was relieving himself.

Eventually, under Bryan’s expectant gaze, the speech was coming to an end.

“Lastly, my deepest gratitude goes to the most special person in my life. Your unwavering support, your endless love, and your belief in my dreams have been the foundation of my success...”

“She is looking at me! She is referring to me!” Bryan excitedly stated.

Mrs. Hailey felt very confused because Amelia had ever told her that she didn’t love Bryan at all.

Suddenly, she realized something. She looked at Bryan, who was dancing with excitement, and laughed in her heart, "Poor guy, Amelia was not talking about you!”

On TV, Amelia was still going on, “You are my rock and my greatest love. Every achievement of mine is a testament to your devotion and sacrifice. I couldn't have done this without you, and I am eternally grateful for everything you’ve done for me. This award is as much yours as it is mine. Thank you, my love, for being my everything, I love you! Yeah, I mean you.” Amelia then, smiled at the camera so brightly, with very much lovely affection.

Bryan's eyes flushed and his heart melted. “It's me! Wow, I can't believe there is a day Amelia would appreciate me like this. I love you too, Amelia.” he muttered back

However, on TV, Amelia’s loving gaze was passing through the crowd of spectators and falling on a handsome young man in the middle of the audience, who was beyond the range of the camera.

... ...

Bryan beamed with joy, smile appeared on his face as Amelia's appreciation replayed in his mind.

He never doubted that the man his wife referred to was not him.

As he cleaned up the room, he hummed and thought to himself, “I know I made a good decision marrying Amelia and supporting her career.”

After that, Bryan planned to prepare a candlelight dinner and celebrate with his wife when she returned home.

Fortunately, Mrs. Hailey had gone out for something urgent.

Bryan rummaged through the pantry and refrigerator, gathering ingredients for his special dishes. With practiced hands, he began chopping vegetables, humming a tune as he worked. Bryan decided to cook Amelia’s favorite food.

He set the table, beautifully decorating it with a bouquet of fresh flowers, adding a touch of elegance. Expensive beverages and candles were lit, casting a warm glow over the room.

After all things were ready, he looked over the transfer agreement he had prepared for the entertainment company's shares.

Bryan intended to transfer the shares of Imperial Legacy Entertainment, one of the state's leading entertainment companies, worth billions of dollars, to give Amelia a big surprise.

He couldn't wait for his wife's reaction when she saw it; she must be ecstatic!

He sat impatiently waiting for her. All this while, all he could do was help her from the shadows. Now, he could fully support her openly.

He watched the time slip by as Amelia was yet to return home. He felt worried and nervous. Normally, even if Amelia didn’t come back home, she would have given him a call or a message.

He called her in anxiety. It rang the first time but no one picked up. He tried it again, but she hung up immediately. On the third call, she finally answered and Bryan felt relieved.

“Hi babe! Congratulations on your success today!” He said eagerly.

“Thanks.” She replied simply.

“You looked very, very beautiful on TV. I can't believe you are my wife,” He complimented her.

“Yeah, I know.” She answered coldly again.

Bryan was surprised because the wife he knew would have screamed and called him sweet names.

“Are you coming home soon? There are a lot of surprises for you!” He said excitedly.

“No!” She answered in the same indifferent tone.

Bryan frowned, he immediately knew something was off. “Is everything okay, Amelia? You should open up to me.” He probed gently.

“Yeah, everything’s fine. I won’t be coming home until tomorrow morning,” She said, her voice lacking any warmth.

Bryan felt disappointed. He had prepared all those dishes for her, and now it was going to waste. “Okay, tomorrow then!” he said, and as he was about to hang up, he heard a thick voice vibrate in the background asking, “Who is that?”

Bryan immediately asked, “Amelia, where are you and who is that talking?”

Amelia answered, now with a sweet tone, “Babe, I am in the bar with my colleagues. They are throwing a party for me. I'm sorry I won't be coming home.”

Bryan smiled and nodded, “Okay then, bye, love you.”

The phone hung up when he was expecting a “love you too.”

He pondered what was going wrong because that wasn't the usual Amelia. Then he shrugged it off, thinking, “She is just tired and busy.”

He consoled himself and felt disappointed for the food he cooked. He went to clear the table.

He was still on it when his phone vibrated. He checked it to see it was an incoming message. He clicked on it.

His heart skipped a beat as his grip on the plates in his hand loosened. The plates shattered on the floor as he stumbled backward, his eyes wide with shock. He felt like throwing up.

"No, this must not be real!" he uttered, his voice shaking, staring at the picture on the screen.

The message contained an image showing a man kissing his wife, Amelia, passionately in front of a bar.

Bryan's face contorted in denial, his eyes scanning the picture frantically.

He gripped the table tightly, his knuckles white with tension.

His head spun with confusion, "No, no... someone is trying to frame my sweet wife," he muttered to himself, "I know my Amelia will never do this, never, never."

With a determined look on his face, he gathered himself up and immediately called Amelia, but she didn't answer. He tried repeatedly, but her phone went straight to voicemail, each time displaying the same automatic response.

"Oh no! It can't be, it can't be my wife," he uttered nervously. He didn't know what to do, and again, he tried her number, and the response was the same.

He checked the image again and nodded as he sat down somberly on the chair in the dining hall.

"No, it can't be, Amelia won’t do this!" he muttered again.

... ...

In a presidential suite, a luxury hotel, the light was dim, the only sound was the soft hum of the air conditioning and the gentle crackle of the fireplace.

A handsome young man, dressed in a tailored suit, stood tall, his eyes locked on the woman in front of him. She was stunning, her red gown hugging her curves in all the right places.

As they moved closer, their mouths met in a passionate kiss. The man's hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her in tight, while hers grasped his shoulders, deepening the embrace. The woman's eyes fluttered closed, her head tilting back as the man's mouth traced a path down her neck. His hands roamed, caressing her skin, then he stopped and gazed at her.

“Is that your lowlife, servant husband that called you earlier?” He asked her.

Amelia nodded slowly, “Yeah, it's that worthless waste. I'm fed up with him.”

“Sure, then… why haven't you divorced him then? When are you doing that? I can't wait any longer.” He said.

Amelia hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, “I will divorce him soon. The agreement is ready, just give me some time.”

“Okay, I can't wait to live with you together, babe.” The man, Xander, said.

Amelia smiled and kissed him. “I will, soon.”

Although Amelia had been married to Bryan for three years, her heart belonged to Xander. He was the man she was praising during the speech. Her first love, the man of her dreams since adolescence.

... ...

The Next Morning...

Bryan tried to dismiss the pictures from his mind. He didn’t believe Amelia had betrayed him.

After all, photo editing and AI face-swapping technology are very advanced. He thought that photo must have been maliciously edited to defame his innocent wife.

However, a seed of doubt lingered, gnawing at him. He spent the entire night on the sofa in the living room, unable to sleep, because the image on the picture would appear in his mind when he closed his eyes.

Suddenly, the door opened, Amelia entered the room with a flushed face, looking radiant. It seemed that he had spent a good night with her first love.

She was surprised to see Bryan there, looking haggard and exhausted.

"Welcome back, darling," Bryan said tiredly.

Amelia glanced at her pale husband and the candlelight dinner he had prepared on the table, but she didn't care about those, nor did she greet him back as she sat down on the sofa.

"Uh, I'm so exhausted... come and massage me, Bryan." she simply stated, like commanding her servant.

His heart began to waver, and he felt uneasy about his wife's change in attitude towards him. He didn’t follow her instruction and kept silent, just staring at her.

Amelia frowned and repeated, "Are you deaf? I said come and massage me, right now!" Her voice sounded a bit angry and impatient.

Bryan didn’t do it still...

"Wow, you aren’t even willing to do this for me since I work so hard to feed the family?" Amelia's voice dripped with sarcasm.

She immediately missed Xander, who would have done it without even asking. But she never thought Bryan used to give her massage.

Then, Bryan finally asked, “Where were you last night?”

Amelia frowned and leaned forward. “Why are you asking? I told you I was celebrating the award with my friends. I told you that, Bryan.”

"Please, Amelia... don't lie to me. Where were you all night? I kept calling you but you ignored my calls."

"My phone was switched off, it powered off... Bryan, you should have known that."

"Powered off?" Bryan found it funny. What a poor excuse!

Amelia's brow furrowed, and she snapped, “Should I have to repeat it again and again? I said I was with my colleagues that time... or... What are you thinking? That I'm with another man, uh? How could you not be wild in imagination since you are just staying at home and doing nothing?” Her voice filled with disdain.

"You can't even answer a question without shaming me," Bryan said.

"Yeah, that's because you are selfish and accusing me with some baseless question! I was with my colleagues, that's all. I don't know why I have to keep explaining that to you!".

"Amelia, do you still love me? You..., you are my heart, and I can't believe that nonsense. If you love me, tell me where were you last night". Bryan stated, his voice trembling with fear.

"Bryan, it's enough! Stop bothering me! I have told you the truth!".

Bryan then opened his phone and threw it at her. “Then what is this? ”

Amelia grabbed the phone and checked it, then saw the photo, clearly the scene of her and her first lover Xander.

Her eyes popped out, then she immediately composed herself and stayed calm, “Where did you get these pictures? It's just a behind-the-scenes shot from the new movie I'm currently in.”

The worst fear was confirmed. Amelia was really cheating on him. Bryan knew she wasn’t preparing for any new movies.

"Amelia! who is that man, we can talk it out." He softly stated.

"What are you saying!", Amelia yelled, now on her feet, "How dare you tag me with such affairs! Someone set me up and I don't know who was working for you to get you this picture."

He scoffed, “ You are still lying to me!”

Amelia felt ridiculed, saying, “How audacious you are! Do you even have the right to ask me anything when I'm literally the one feeding you?”

Bryan still expected she could regret and apologize to him, spoke in low voice, “Amelia...”

“Don't call my name, you’re disgusting! I work so hard to get to where I am today and provide for the family. What did you do? Nothing, absolutely nothing,” she yelled.

Bryan didn't even know what to do. He just stood there. He couldn't believe all these years of supporting her were just a waste.

Amelia was talking about hard work when she actually did nothing. She was an actress who didn't want to accept minor roles, even as a newbie.

Bryan was the one who made it all easy for her. He made sure she was always the main character, took out every actor and actress that would get in her way, and took it upon himself to take care of the home so Amelia could just focus on her career.
“Amelia… I can't believe you are saying this… to me”

“Why not when you are accusing me? And I am just stating the fact. You are poor, useless, and I am your host while you are nothing but just a parasite!” she yelled.

Bryan felt extremely disappointed and asked, “Then, what is that man to you, symbiosis? Benefiting each other? Uh?”

Amelia was filled with rage immediately. She couldn't take Bryan's ridicule.

As she raised her hand and tried to slap him, Bryan caught her hand and in anger flung it away.

Unexpectedly, Amelia lost her balance and fell onto the ground.

“Stop! What are you doing?” A voice roared from behind.

It’s Xander, who had expected this scene earlier because...

... ...

Actually, it’s Xander who sent the photo to Bryan’s phone.

He knew Amelia was hesitating in divorcing Bryan, maybe she still had some feelings for him, so he took the photo secretly and expose it to Bryan to accelerate their divorce.

He stepped forward towards Bryan and confronted him, “How could you beat a woman? She’s your wife! How could you do this?”

Bryan saw that this man was the guy seducing his wife on that photo, and he angrily said, “You dare to come to my home!”

“Yeah, I have. Because I won't let you hurt Amelia anymore!” He stared at Bryan’s eyes, firmly said.

Then he turned to Amelia, swearing affectionately, “Amelia, I swear...I will protect you forever.”

Initially, Amelia was a bit angry at Xander for showing up unannounced, but after hearing his heartfelt confession, especially compared to Bryan, Xander seemed like a perfect man. She was also moved by him and looked at him affectionately.

Seeing his wife gazing affectionately at another man in his home, Bryan felt extremely uncomfortable. With a dark expression, he warned Xander, "Get out of my house!"

“What if I don't?” Xander taunted.

Amelia intervened. “Xander, stop. This shouldn't cause a fight. We will resolve the issues.”

But Xander's gaze never left Bryan's face. “No, Amelia. I won't let him get away with this. He hurt you led your face injured. As an actress, face is wealth!”

Amelia was immediately impressed by what Xander said.

Bryan gritted his teeth and said with his face gloomy, “You think you're a hero by doing this?”

“At least I'm able to protect her from you, you’re a beast. She is the one feeding you, and you want to ruin her career!” Xander stated.

Bryan stared at him. He felt Xander looked awfully familiar once he saw Xander. Then he suddenly recalled it!

Amelia had a photo album some years ago, which was all about her and her first love. She named the album "Moonlight” and kept it secret.

Once he accidentally found the photo album, and she explained that she no longer liked Xander, it was just a souvenir of her youth.

However, it’s also a lie!

He turned to her. “we have been married for 5 years, Amelia, five good years! What's wrong with our marriage that you have to reconcile with your ex boyfriend?”

Amelia gazed back at him. She wasn't going to keep up with this any longer. Xander had proven he was the right person she needed...forever be.

She uttered, “Bryan, I'm over this. Let's get a divorce, yeah, I don't want you now, I want Xander. He is my true love!”

Bryan immediately felt disheartened although he had known things would come to this end. He was still sad for his marriage, and all those he had sacrificed...

He complied with her request to become a stay-at-home husband, providing her with emotional support and taking care of her. Not to hurt her pride, he secretly arranged to support her career until she succeeded.

Bryan couldn’t understand...

Amelia continued and justified her reasons, “Bryan, you know… you were never up to my standard to begin with. Now I'm in a higher league, higher than you can imagine. In just a short time, I will become a well-known international actress. You can't be my husband, or it will be my forever smirch!”

“Amelia…”

“Yeah, you know that. You are useless, worthless, poor, and just an idle househusband. You can't add any value to my life.”

“I have high ambitions. I want to go places, but you… you are nothing, no ambition, lazy, and just wait around for me to feed you. You are satisfied with your status quo. You are even a disgrace to other men. It will be best if I just let you go,” she said, then dipped her hand in her bag and brought out a stack of papers containing a pre-draft divorce agreement.

“Sign, and let's end our false marriage here, you useless husband,” she threw it at him.

Bryan felt bitter. Her success was because of him. Everything she achieved, he made possible. He thought she was a devoted wife, and he couldn't just watch her struggle, so he helped her behind the scenes, and just yesterday, he made her collect the award. She had drastically changed.

Bryan not working was not because he was lazy, but when they first met, Amelia told him she wanted a husband who would be at home, not busy, and she wanted to see him every time she wanted. Bryan left his company to his subordinate to help her achieve that. Also, her mother forced him to do the chores anytime he contemplated working...

Bryan planned to tell her about his true identity last night after her initial success and transfer one of his successful companies to her as a surprise, allowing her to pursue filmmaking as a hobby rather than work.

However, she didn’t sign the transfer agreement while he had to sign the divorce agreement. How ridiculous!

He didn't even bother to talk again. He bent down, picked up the papers, and brought out a pen. He thought of all he had done and all the years spent together. He stared at her one more time, brought out his pen and, in pain, scribbled his signature on the agreement.

“Bye. but you will regret it.” Bryan calmly said.

"regret? I’m the fastest upcoming actress, you must be joking!"

As Amelia watched him leave, she felt something very important slipping out of her life. Her heart felt empty.

Xander patted her gently. “You did great, babe. It's better to let him go. Later, you will see how your life will improve.”

She stayed mute.

Then Xander added and assured her, “We will make a film, a blockbuster movie, with you as the female lead, and after that, we will announce our romantic relationship. Just envision how perfect that would be. Everyone will be jealous.”

Amelia nodded.

Actually, a movie with great potential directed by a great director was soon to be filmed. She was determined to secure the female lead role, and also she planned on recommending Xander as the male lead.

Xander hugged her and smirked. He had achieved the first step of his plan...

... ...

Bryan felt heartbroken broken as he walked, lost in thought. He never imagined there would be one day that he and Amelia would divorce.

He came to a park, wondering where to go...

Then it hit him that he was the owner of the house, and he shouldn't have been the one to leave, but it should have been the two.

Suddenly, his phone rang, and it was from Liana. He picked it up.

“Boss, The role for Amelia in the new movie has been arranged. This time, she will be the only female leader role in this movie and gain more and better reputation!” Liana said sincerely.

There was a brief silence before Bryan spoke, “Well done! But unfortunately, we have just divorced! It is of no use now.”

“Huh?” Liana was stunned by the surprising news.

“I said I divorced with her. Just cancel everything, including the female leader role and the company's share transfer arrangements... Cancel them all.” He commanded.

Then Liana was overwhelmed with joy and spoke excitedly. “Wow, great...” she slipped.

“What?” Bryan felt confused. Why was so happy when she heard the news.

“I am sorry, boss. I was just… somehow shocked. Okay, I will tell the director as soon as possible before he notifies your ex-wife.” She said.

After hanging it up. Liana felt she was the happiest woman in the world. She was so excited about Bryan’s divorce.

After all, she had had a crush on him for many years, even earlier than his marriage.

After calming down, Liana immediately called a familiar movie director and instructed, "Don't give the role of the female lead in the new movie to Amelia. Replace her with another actress! She doesn't deserve such a good role anymore!" Liana looked down on Amelia in every way.

She despised Amelia’s acting skills. If it weren't for Bryan's secret support, she wouldn't have deserved to become famous at all.

She knew the real reason for Amelia's success, and she never expected that foolish woman to divorce Bryan.

Although she was happy that their relationship had broken down, she would not thank Amelia. Instead, she was extremely angry that she had hurt Bryan, which was unforgivable!

She was determined to make that foolish woman pay the price! She would make her regret it!

... ...

Bryan stood alone in the quiet cemetery, his eyes fixed on the grave in front of him. The headstone bore his mother's name, Mrs. Wood.

He had come to pay tribute to her. His knees sank into the soft earth, and gently touched the engraved letters.

"Mom, here I am again… I have failed you. I broke my promise to you that I would be here with my wife, but I was unable to achieve it… We broke up and got divorced." He trailed off as he lamented.

Then, a feminine voice suddenly shrieked into the air, so loud! Someone was screaming, “Help, help, help…somebody help me...”
