Chapter 1

I have a special ability: I can see the name of true love on a person’s body.

I've been married to my husband for three years, and lately, I’ve noticed he's been distant.

Staring at him as he sleeps beside me, I pull up his shirt sleeve.

Looking at his arm, I see a name that isn’t mine.

I know now—he’s cheating on me.

I grab my phone, preparing to contact a divorce lawyer, but when I check my bank account, I find an extra ten million from a compensation settlement.

...

As my husband snores beside me, I toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep.

After three years of marriage, I've noticed that Julian Shaw has been growing colder toward me.

His daily "Good mornings" and "Good nights" disappeared. Now, he just comes home from work and crashes into bed.

A woman's intuition tells me something is off.

I have a special ability: I can see the name of true love on a person’s body.

When my college roommate got married, I accidentally noticed that both she and her husband had each other's names on their arms.

At first, I thought they were just matching tattoos, but I soon realized that only I could see them.

It turned out, my roommate and her husband were truly in love. After five years of marriage, they were still as sweet as ever.

So, when I started dating Julian and noticed my name on his arm, I was overjoyed.

When he proposed, I married him without hesitation.

But strangely enough, there was still nothing on my arm.

I didn’t think much of it at the time. I was happy for three years of marriage with Julian.

Until today. I looked at Julian’s arm, and my name was gone.

In its place was the name of his assistant, Tina Mooney.

I knew it—he was cheating on me.

I couldn’t help myself, I grabbed Julian's phone. In three years of marriage, I’d never snooped through his things.

On Facebook, my name was still pinned at the top.

But his chat with Tina was clean, just work-related messages.

Julian had a secret Facebook account.

I easily logged in to his second account.

Sure enough, Tina’s name was pinned at the top of his messages.

The note under her name: “Baby.”

I quickly got out of bed, turned on the small light in the living room, and sat quietly.

Tears flowed freely as I reflected on my past with Julian.

Even true love can fade with time, can’t it?

The next morning, Julian got up to go to work, and I sent him off, looking my best.

He glanced at me, then leaned in for a kiss.

I immediately bent down to tie my shoe.

Too bad, these slippers don’t have laces.

"Hurry up. You're going to be late for work." I said sternly.

Julian seemed a little disappointed, letting out a cold “Hmm.”

Ha. Still wanting to eat from the same pot when you're already eyeing another one?

Go to hell, you scumbag.

After contacting the divorce lawyer, I followed his advice and gathered more evidence of Julian's affair.

I hid in the parking lot of his office.

At 7 PM, Julian arrived at the parking lot.

My phone buzzed with a message.

"Clara, I’m working late, I’ll be home later."

You’re already in the parking lot, and you say you’re working late?

A while later, Julian’s assistant, Tina, got into his car.

They embraced like long-lost lovers.

My heart twisted in pain.

Though it hurt, I pulled out my phone and took pictures for proof.

Moments later, Julian drove away from the parking lot.

I quietly followed his car.

He parked in front of an upscale restaurant, and he and Tina walked in hand in hand.

I snapped a photo of them eating and rushed home.

At 10 PM, Julian returned home.

In the pitch-black living room, I sat quietly on the sofa.

“Clara, why aren’t the lights on?”

Julian sounded surprised.

Normally, I would be asleep by now.

I didn’t answer him, and the blinding light made me open my eyes.

“Clara, what’s wrong?”

Julian quickly rushed over to my side.

Don’t ask—just let the show begin.

Chapter 2

“Julian, I think I saw you having dinner with another woman at the restaurant last night.”

I spoke softly, my voice shaking.

Tears immediately began to fall.

Julian panicked. "It was just a casual dinner, nothing more."

He stammered, struggling to explain.

"But I even took a photo."

I pulled out my phone and showed him the picture of him dining with Tina.

"Clara, you have to trust me. Tina closed a major deal for the company, so I took her out to reward her. Don’t overthink it."

Julian explained smoothly, as if he'd said it a hundred times before.

I watched him lie.

“Wahhh, I knew my husband would never cheat on me!”

I threw myself into Julian's arms, but my stomach turned with disgust.

"But Julian, I still don't feel safe!"

I pulled out the marriage asset agreement from the shelf.

Julian seemed a bit surprised, but still, without even glancing at it, he took the pen and signed it without hesitation.

“Thank you, Julian!”

I said sweetly, wrapping my arms around his neck.

“I love you the most, Julian!”

Love? Please, I’m more in love with money.

The next morning, Julian took a rare day off from work.

Maybe he felt guilty.

But honestly, when there’s no love left, what’s the point of pretending?

I watched Julian move around the kitchen making breakfast, and called out to him as he was busy.

“Julian, let me drive you to work.”

I slipped into a glamorous dress, wrapping my arm around his, acting all soft and delicate.

“Sure, I still have some work left to do,”

he said, sounding so casual.

What a show-off, pretending so well.

Julian started a business with his friends right after graduation, and in recent years, he had seen some success.

I sat in Julian’s grand office, watching him rush around, praising him endlessly.

“Knock knock” Someone knocked on the door.

I felt Julian's back stiffen instantly.

“Mr. Shaw, I have the documents for you.”

It was Tina Mooney.

I immediately stood up and rushed over to grab Tina’s hand.

“Thank you so much, Tina! I really appreciate you helping Julian with the pressure.”

Tina looked startled, quickly waving her hands and saying it was nothing.

I pretended to smooth down her blouse. “Tina, your clothes are so nice, what brand is this?”

I was actually eyeing the name on her arm.

"Eliot Haines."

Not my scumbag husband’s name, but...

How amusing, this pair of scumbag lovers.

Tina seemed a little flustered, “It’s really nothing, Mrs. Shaw. It’s all part of my job.”

She stole a glance at Julian’s expression.

“Could you show me around the company?”

I held her hand.

“After all, I’m thinking of working here too.”

Julian clicked his tongue in displeasure. “Clara, I can take care of you, you don’t need to work.”

“But I want to help you with your work.”

I looked at Julian with wide, innocent eyes.

He sighed and waved his hand in resignation.

Tina led me through the company.

“Mrs. Shaw, I heard Mr. Shaw say you used to study design?”

Tina asked, trying to please me.

“Yeah,” I answered coldly.

I stood by the company bulletin board, reading the name: Outstanding Employee of the Design Department—Eliot Haines.

“Thanks, Tina! You can go ahead and get back to your work,” I murmured.

Back in Julian's office, I hugged his back.

“Julian, let me work in the design department,” I said softly.

“Why the sudden interest in coming back to work?” Julian asked.

“I just want to be here and work with you,” I said, putting on my best pout.

“Alright, you can come with me to work tomorrow. I’ll talk to the head of the design department.”

“Okay!” I replied sweetly.

Chapter 3

The next day, I went to work with Julian.

The design department is always busy, and overtime is expected at any moment.

This only makes it easier for Julian to cheat, doesn’t it? No wonder he agreed so readily.

Eliot is highly competent and keeps his personal and professional life separate.

During my month in Eliot’s team, we traveled together on business trips quite often.

At department gatherings, I would often sit next to him in the photos.

In reality, we didn’t have much interaction outside of work, and one day, by chance, I discovered that he had a fiancée, and they were getting married soon.

Not many people in the company knew about this.

When I posted the group photo from the department dinner on my social media, I made sure it was visible only to Tina.

After returning to the office from a business trip, I would often catch Tina giving me malicious looks.

But don’t worry, the real drama is just beginning.

After Julian had worked at the company for a full month, I privately approached Eliot.

“Mr. Haines, I’ll get straight to the point. I want to steal you away,” I said slowly.

Eliot looked a bit taken aback.

“Aren’t you planning to go back to Cypress City next year to get married and settle down?” I continued.

He nodded.

“This is my friend’s company in Cypress City. I’ve recommended you to her. You’re too talented to be stuck at Julian’s company.”

I said with a hint of regret.

I handed him my friend’s business card.

“This company speaks for itself, no need for further introduction.”

It’s a highly reputable design firm, almost a no-brainer decision.

“You can just reach out to her.”

Eliot seemed like he wanted to say something else, but I nodded and left first.

Now, it was just a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

The next day, Eliot handed in his resignation to Julian.

Tina immediately smelled the change and came running.

I was pretending to make coffee in the break room.

I saw Tina grab Eliot’s hand, her voice dripping with sweetness as she said, “Eliot, why are you resigning?”

Eliot quickly shook off her hand and said, “I’m moving to Cypress City to settle down. I just found a job opportunity there.”

“Where are you planning to work?” Tina pressed on, not willing to give up.

“I haven’t finalized anything yet, but I’ve got a lead from someone I know at Apex Design.”

“Apex Design? That’s a top-tier design company! Who referred you?” Tina’s eyes lit up.

“What’s it to you?” I stepped in and said.

Tina shot me a look of hatred as soon as she saw me.

“As the boss’s wife, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to steal employees for another company? Does Mr. Shaw know about this?” Tina said in a feigned innocent tone.

“Boss’s wife? Isn’t that what you’ve been wanting to be? I’ll gladly let you take over,” I said lightly.

“You! What do you mean by that!” Tina instantly reacted like a cockroach that had just been stepped on.

“Nothing.” I slowly walked out of the break room, ignoring Tina’s shouts from behind.

Soon enough, Julian found out about the little drama. When I walked into his office, I saw Tina crying with tears streaming down her face.

“Clara, are you still misunderstanding what happened last time?” Julian said, suppressing his anger.

“No, what are you talking about? I’ve already forgotten about it,” I said, feigning innocence.

“Then what did you mean by what you said in the break room?” Tina snapped.

“What did I say? Who heard it?” I shook my head.

“You!” Tina glared at me with venom in her eyes.

“Then what’s this about you stealing company employees for other firms?” Tina thought she had caught me red-handed.

“Sorry, but I’m about to get married and settle in Cypress City. Mrs. Shaw was just doing me a favor,” Eliot said as he entered the room.

“You’re getting married, Eliot? But I’ve never heard you mention a girlfriend!”

Tina’s eyes went wide in shock, as if struck by lightning.

Her big, dark eyes were brimming with tears, clearly heartbroken.
