Chapter 1

My fiancée didn't look at me. Just kept her head down.That gesture was more brutal than if she'd said, "I choose him."I heard something inside me shatter."Fine."I turned to the nurse who had just walked in. "Prep the OR. I'm doing the surgery."Claire Bishop immediately grabbed my arm, panicked. "No! Ethan, you can't operate on him. Get another doctor. You have to get someone else."I looked down at her hand gripping me and let out a cold laugh."You ran off with another man on our wedding night. You're not afraid of that."But now you're scared I'll do something to him on the operating table?"I laughed again—bitter this time—and pulled my arm away."Don't worry. You might not have any ethics, but I still have mine. I'm a doctor, first and foremost. After this surgery, we're getting a divorce."Claire's lips parted. Guilt washed over her face.But before she could say anything, the guy in the bed—Noah Patterson—grabbed the hem of her coat."Claire, I'm scared," he whi

"If we unilaterally terminate, we might have to absorb some of the losses," my assistant said."All of it. I don't care about the losses," I insisted."Got it, Mr. Anders. I'll review the contract details right away. The whole process will take about a week."A week.That was fine. It would give me just enough time to make the divorce settlement as airtight as possible.I had given her countless chances.What Claire and I had started as a calculated business merger. A marriage of convenience between two wealthy families.But three years together changes things. I'm not made of stone. I actually grew to love her.So when Noah became a problem, I made my feelings very clear.She promised me she would handle it. She swore it would never affect our marriage.Those words were still ringing in my ears.She was the one who threw this marriage away.So don't blame me for playing dirty.…The lawyer hadn't even finished drafting the divorce agreement when my parents started blowin

Chapter 3

Claire: [I think a news story about 'Anders Group Heir Suffers from Both Physical and Mental Disorders' would be a lot more interesting than the Bishop Group's funding crisis, don't you?]I stared at Claire's message. My heart felt like it had been dunked in ice water.Me: [That's fraud. It's slander.]Claire: [Exactly.]There was something reckless in her reply. A nothing-left-to-lose kind of boldness.Claire: [You pushed me to this. I bought gifts today. I was going to come home and talk to you. Try to make things right.]Claire: [But you know what you did? You cut off my money, Ethan. If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.]Claire: [We were always just a business arrangement. So why are you demanding loyalty from me?]Suddenly, the woman on the other end of that screen felt like a stranger. A terrifying one.Three years ago, when our two families first agreed to the merger, she said, "Ethan, an arranged marriage is miserable enough. I don't want our marriage to be full

Chapter 4

The voiceover made it sound like I had personally refused to treat a patient just because I was in a bad mood.The headline was even more lurid: [Rich Family Drama? Heartless Doctor Lets Dying Patient Suffer!]The article went into graphic detail about how I supposedly used my powerful family connections to coast through medical school—to get a degree that most people have to sweat blood for. It said I've always been arrogant, and that this time, I let "personal grudges" get in the way of saving a life.The comments section tore me apart.[This kind of garbage gets to be a doctor? No wonder doctor-patient relations are so toxic.][The Anders Group heir, right? Got it. I'll make sure neither my dog nor I ever buys anything from his company.][Someone doxx him. Drag him out into the light. Make sure he never shows his face in public again.]My company's website had already been overrun by angry mobs. Stock prices were falling. People were calling for a boycott of every single prod

Chapter 5

Claire and Noah were locked in a passionate kiss. His hands had already slipped under her shirt. Their clothes were half hanging off their bodies. The atmosphere was thick with heat and desperation.Suddenly, the door lock turned from the outside.They both froze. Heads whipped toward the sound.The next second, seven or eight reporters burst through the door—cameras, microphones, lights. Flashes went off like fireworks."Ms. Bishop! Are you cheating on your husband? Does Mr. Anders know?""Who is this man? Are you intentionally trying to humiliate the Anders family by bringing him into your marital home?""Ms. Bishop! What is your relationship with this man?"The reporters swarmed like sharks. Each question sharper, nastier than the last.Standing behind the chaos, phone raised, was Julian. He was streaming the whole thing live—just for me."Get out! All of you, get out!"Claire finally snapped out of it. She let out a terrified shriek and scrambled to cover herself. The fac

"Ethan… I made you some soup."Claire set the thermos on the nightstand and reached out to touch me. I stopped her with a single look.Her hand froze in midair. Awkwardly, she pulled it back."Ethan, I'm sorry. I know I messed up."Her voice cracked. The tears came right on cue. "Can you forgive me? Just this once? I swear it'll never happen again…"She started listing every memory from our past. Every moment from when we first met to when we fell in love.As if the woman writhing around in our wedding house yesterday didn't exist.As if she wasn't the one who abandoned me on our wedding night to run to Noah.I didn't say anything. I just watched her perform.When the tears had run their course, I pulled out the divorce papers I'd prepared and slapped them onto the table in front of her."All right. Enough acting. Sign this. You walk away with nothing."Claire's pupils contracted. She shook her head like a madwoman."No! Ethan, I don't want a divorce! We just got married. H

Chapter 7

Claire signed her name in two quick strokes. Then she threw the papers in my face.The edge of the paper scraped my cheek, leaving a faint sting."There, Ethan. You got what you wanted."She stood over me, looking down like she'd already won. Revenge burning in her eyes."Since you want to be so heartless and take everything to the extreme, I don't need to pretend we ever had a marriage. We're done. Don't come looking for me. From now on, we're strangers."Then she looped her arm through Noah's and walked out without looking back.I didn't move. I just reached up and pulled the divorce papers off my face.The Grant family from the capital?If I remembered correctly, the current heir of the Grant family was a ruthless, iron-fisted man with absolute control. He had no long-lost brothers out in the world.But…There was the little princess of the Grant family—the daughter they'd coddled since birth. She'd always been sickly. Lately, her condition had worsened.And she was in de

I opened my phone. On X, the hashtags from that night—#WeddingNightCheating, #HeartlessDoctor, #EthanAnders—were still trending. The heat wouldn't die down.Claire's PR team had clearly gone to work. They'd bought bots by the thousands, trying to steer the narrative toward me being "inadequate," having "anger issues," being "abusive"—suggesting that Claire had no choice but to find comfort elsewhere.Lifestyle blogs and gossip accounts picked up the scent. They started digging for my "dark secrets." They painted me as a volatile, cold-blooded freak at the hospital—someone who pushed people away and felt nothing.For a moment, the tide began to turn.Soft-hearted netizens started feeling sorry for Claire. The "poor woman."[It takes two to tango. The guy must have done something wrong too.][My heart breaks for Claire. Imagine being married to a man like that. A total nightmare.]I read the comments. My face didn't move.Then I logged into my own account—the verified doctor's ac

Chapter 9

The camera shook. It was clearly a phone livestream.Claire wore flawless makeup. She leaned against Noah like a lovestruck bird, both of them smiling sweetly at the camera, showing off their affair for the whole world to see.The comments scrolled by in a blur.One bolded comment floated across the screen: [Cheating is this public now? My whole worldview just shifted.]Claire clearly saw it. Her smile froze for just a second.But she recovered fast. She looked at the camera, her eyes welling up, her chin trembling like she was about to cry."Everyone, I know a lot of you have the wrong idea about me. But I didn't cheat on anyone. I've been framed."The truth is, Ethan can't perform. At all. As a man. And he used his family's influence to force me to marry him."She buried her face in Noah's chest, playing the victim.Noah immediately stepped into his role as protector. He wrapped his arms around her, looked sternly into the camera, and said, "Please don't attack Claire. She h

Chapter 10

The two of them went back to showing off their "love" on camera, inviting the entire internet to witness the historic moment—the long-lost son of the Grant family finally being reunited with his true lineage.The gimmick was too juicy to ignore.The livestream viewer count skyrocketed. Within minutes, it had crossed a million. Everyone was craning their necks, waiting for the rich-family drama to unfold.Minute by minute, time crawled by.The arrivals board showed that the flight from the capital had already landed.But the so-called "Grant family members" were nowhere to be seen.The audience grew impatient.[So? Where are they? The richest family in the capital moves that slow?][Are you kidding me? We've been waiting forever. This is a circus.]Claire's smug smile began to crack.She nudged Noah and whispered, "Where are they? Call them."Noah forced himself to stay calm. He pulled out his phone, ready to dial.Then the screen lit up on its own.Incoming call: Grant Est
