Hunter Massimo had saved me three times, so I promised to forgive him three times.

When both families talked over the marriage date, he showed up covered head to toe in red marks, bringing along a young model with him. I didn’t pause at all before slapping the girl and forgiving him for the first time.

The second time happened on Hunter’s wedding day, when he brought an escort to the wedding venue and made a scene, insisting that I acknowledge her as the legal wife.

I hardly slapped him three times and proposed ending the marriage alliance.

That same day, Hunter’s greatest enemy proposed to me during a nationwide live broadcast.

When Hunter received the news, he was so angry that he fought violently with his mortal enemy and used the Massimo Corporation’s official website to announce to the world that he would change, and that the position of Mrs. Massimo would belong to me alone.

Seeing his sincere act of kneeling, I forgave him a second time.

But on the day my younger brother was falsely accused of rape by his secretary and jumped from a building, Hunter vanished.

When I found him, he was holding the very secretary who had framed my brother, joking and laughing with his friends.

“Brother Hunter, didn’t you say before that you would never betray Blythe again? If she finds out, I’m afraid she’ll scratch your face full of marks.”

Hunter didn’t care at all and even kissed the secretary in his arms and scoffed, “Blythe only has that little ability.”

“Tatiana Ducati has been having some problems lately and hasn’t been in a good mood. I’m just doing my responsibility as her superior and comforting her a little. Even if Blythe finds out, she won’t leave me.”

“She used to be a wild horse, but now she’s nothing more than a little horse I can toy with freely.”

After hearing this, I crossed out the third time. From today forward, Hunter no longer had any privilege in my heart.

I pressed my fingernails into my palm and, through their mocking laughter, kicked the door open with one foot.

The lively atmosphere in the private room went quiet instantly, and everyone stared at me in surprise.

Hunter stood up right away, his brows drawn tight.

“Blythe, why are you here?”

“I just brought Tatiana out to socialize a little. You know, she is my secretary.”

I had lost count of how many times Hunter had used the same excuse to push me aside.

Before, I would pretend not to see it and act as I believed him.

But now…

I looked straight at the intimate pair in front of me, pointed at Tatiana, who looked deeply wronged, and said through clenched teeth.

“Hunter, you still want to use this kind of excuse to fool me? Do you know my brother jumped off a building today because of her fake accusation?”

When I mentioned my brother, my eyes reddened badly.

Today should have been the happy day when my brother received his lawyer’s license.

Instead, Tatiana ran to the law firm where he was interning and made a false claim that he had raped her.

My brother explained himself many times, but he could not hold up against Tatiana’s crying and begging, and in the end, the law firm dismissed him.

My brother had always been kind to Hunter and his secretary, bringing gifts whenever they met.

He never imagined that his brother-in-law and the kind-looking secretary would turn on him like this.

Just when he planned to call the police, an unknown person posted the story online.

Tatiana’s helpless appearance pushed the netizens to take her side.

And my miserable brother was cyberbullied, his private details were exposed, and his girlfriend left him.

When I received the message and rushed to the place he rented, my brother could no longer bear it and jumped from the rooftop.

While I was in deep pain, rushing my brother to the hospital for emergency treatment, my husband was staying with the culprit, drinking and joking around.

He even treated me like a joke, humiliating me in front of everyone.

My chest hurt so much I struggled to breathe, but I still stubbornly looked toward Hunter.

I was waiting for him to explain.

But Hunter stayed silent for a long time.

Then a thought I didn’t want to accept crossed my mind.

“Hunter, was it you who posted the story about my brother raping Tatiana online?”

Hunter avoided my red eyes and hesitated.

“Blythe, listen to my explanation……”

Watching Hunter's guilty expression, I only felt as if the sky were falling and the ground were breaking apart.

My hands trembled as I wanted to seize his collar and angrily demand why he did this.

Unwilling to be overlooked, Tatiana, beside him, leaned closer.

“Miss Blythe Visconti, don’t blame Hunter. He just feels pity for me. Back then, when Caleb did that kind of thing to me, it left a shadow….”

“If it weren’t for Hunter staying with me day and night during this time, I definitely wouldn’t have recovered so fast…”

“I just wanted some comfort, so Hunter posted this matter online. I didn’t expect him to take it the wrong way…”

Hunter remained silent, and the way he looked at Tatiana showed clear pain.

I felt like everything in front of me was ridiculous and laughable.

My brother was obviously framed by Tatiana and was even driven to jump from a building.

When I was enduring overwhelming pain, my husband accompanied the secretary and even assisted the culprit in forcing my brother to jump off a building.

Yet my husband, when I was in extreme pain, accompanied his secretary and even assisted the culprit in forcing my brother to jump off a building.

Had he never once thought about how heartbroken I would be?

Facing the quiet Hunter in front of me, I suddenly felt a deep-seated hopelessness.

Seeing that I appeared as if I had taken a hit, Hunter felt somewhat hesitant.

Before he could extend his hand, Tatiana quickly said, “Blythe, even though I am the true victim, I never considered making Caleb jump off a building.”

“How about this, I’ll upload an explanation online and take it as my apology.”

Tatiana spoke as though she were the one who had been wronged.

Thinking of my brother, who was still receiving emergency treatment, I held back my anger and decided to let Tatiana explain first.

I watched Tatiana use her phone for a short moment, then set the so-called clarification statement before me.

With just one look, anger rose fast in my chest.

[Today I went out with Brother Hunter to take a break, and did not expect to be confronted by Caleb’s sister. Here, I sincerely ask everyone not to continue talking about the matter of Caleb violating me earlier. Let this matter go, just regard it as my fault.]

That clarification released by Tatiana did not mention at all that my brother had been forced to leap off a building, nor did it speak of the truth.

Instead, she presented herself as an innocent little girl who had been pressured.

The moment this “clarification” message was posted, the comments underneath were all netizens expressing sympathy for Tatiana.

Some even said that I had threatened Tatiana, bullied the victim, and that they wanted to send wreaths to my brother!

Seeing this, the anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed.

I lifted my hand high and slapped Tatiana hard across her cheek.

In the next moment, Hunter immediately seized my wrist and shoved me down.

His eyes showed clear anger, and when he spoke, it was a harsh scolding.

“Enough! Blythe, are you done going crazy? Has Tatiana not already explained everything?”

Watching how he was protecting Blythe on his face, my heart trembled.

That kind of warmth, after I married Hunter, had always been given to me.

My eyes gathered burning tears, almost spilling out.

Right then, my phone suddenly rang.

“Is this Mrs. Massimo? Your younger brother woke up briefly. He cut his wrists and tried to commit suicide….” The doctor spoke with deep regret.

“What?” My eyes opened wide in fear, unable to believe what I had just heard.

“Your younger brother had already been saved, but after waking up, he checked his phone and saw people online had begun making fun of him. Some even found his hospital room and sent funeral wreaths. He may not have been able to handle it, so he chose to try to end his life again……”

With a dull crack, the phone slipped from my fingers.

My eyes burned red as if bleeding, and the look I gave Tatiana and the others carried nothing but hatred.

Right then, I clearly noticed Tatiana behind Hunter, covering her mouth while laughing.

In that second, my self-control broke.

I suddenly seized a wine bottle from the table and smashed it straight at her.

With a heavy crash, the bottle broke apart.

Tatiana cried out and ran toward Hunter, who stepped in front of her.

“How can you lay hands on Hunter?”

“I already helped clear things up for your brother. What else do you want? If it comes to it, I’ll die to make up for it. Is that enough?”

As she spoke, she suddenly ran toward the window.

Hunter did not even bother wiping the blood covering his head. He quickly dragged Tatiana back, then stared at me with anger.

“Blythe, how far are you planning to push Tatiana? You forced the victim to explain herself, and she already did.”

“At first, I still felt some guilt toward your brother, but now it seems he fully deserved it!”

“He was the one who went after Tatiana. I only put what he did online. He chose to end his life because he couldn’t handle the mental pressure. Why are you blaming Tatiana?”

Tatiana hid in his arms, crying softly like flowers soaked by rain, making it seem I was the culprit who had torn apart this unlucky couple.

“Hunter, please stop talking. As long as you’re safe, and as long as Blythe can forgive me, I will accept anything.”

Hunter watched her with pain and softness, holding her even more tightly.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep you safe. You were the one who was hurt from the start. No one is allowed to cross me and harm you.”

Without noticing, a tear slid down from my eye, and my heart felt so empty it scared me.

Those exact words had once been spoken to me by Hunter, too.

After marriage, whenever someone tried to make things hard for me, he would always stand in front of me right away.

Everyone didn’t believe that the former Playboy would truly change, yet Hunter did it.

I once believed Hunter’s promise would last forever, but now it seemed it only lasted for three brief years.

I drew in a deep breath, pulled the divorce agreement from my bag, and spoke firmly, “Hunter, let’s get a divorce.”

Hunter’s entire body shook, then he smirked and signed his name without hesitation.

“Blythe, do you really think using the same old methods from before the wedding will change anything?”

“Fine then. I’m already worn out anyway. I’m only standing up for a girl who was bullied by your younger brother, and this is how you react.”

“One month from now, see you at City Hall. I want to see if you can really leave me.”

After marriage, Hunter’s kindness toward me slowly pulled me in further.

He was convinced I had already been controlled by him, changed from a wild horse into a tame one, and that there was no chance I would ever divorce him.

But he forgot what first made him fall in love with me.

From the day of the wedding, I had already written this divorce agreement. I knew making Hunter truly settle down would never be simple.

I wasn’t so easily blinded by his love.

After the wedding, Hunter changed completely, yet I never once forgot the divorce agreement I had prepared.

It was only that my love for him also slowly grew with time, which was why leaving at this moment hurt so deeply.

Holding the divorce papers, I avoided looking at Hunter and Tatiana again and turned around to leave.

Over the next several days, I did not return home and instead stayed at the villa I had bought before the wedding.

But news about Hunter and Tatiana kept reaching me.

On social platforms, on Facebook, through other friends’ conversations, and even on the large screens outside buildings, their images kept showing up.

I understood that Hunter was doing this on purpose to provoke me.

He openly transferred our marital villa into Tatiana’s name.

I still remember that this villa had been carefully built by Hunter based on the style I loved when we got married.

Every corner carried signs of our past affection.

On the night his rival proposed to me, Hunter knelt down on one knee and handed this villa to me.

He said, “Blythe, I have never met a woman as direct and free as you.”

“I first wanted to challenge you and control you, but your pride touched me. I admit it, I have completely fallen in love with you.”

After that confession, the video of Hunter proposing to me stayed on the Massimo Group’s official website for a long time.

But now, the villa had been transferred to Tatiana’s name, and the proposal video on the Massimo Group’s official website had quietly disappeared at some unknown time.

Just because Tatiana liked it, he even changed the planet that once belonged to me and put Tatiana’s name on it.

Even the amusement park we had planned ahead of time for our child, Hunter, also brought her there to play.

I completely gave up. Holding down the pain in my heart, I signed my name and sent the divorce papers to City Hall.

The following day, I went to the Massimo Group.

Since I had already made up my mind to divorce Hunter, I didn’t want any more ties with him.

Back then, I only held a title position at the Massimo Group, but I still had my own office, right next to Hunter’s office.

Now, I came to finish the resignation process and take away my things.

But when I reached the company, I found that my office had already been taken over by Tatiana.

Even my personal belongings had been dumped around in a total mess.

The picture of Hunter and me that used to sit on the desk was now thrown into the trash, and my part was harshly scratched out.

My expression turned cold, and I directly called someone inside.

“Who permitted Tatiana to move into my office?”
