Faking My Death to Escape My Husband’s BetrayalChapter 1

My relationship with Evan Aldridge was not a secret to everyone.

He was a mercenary, living a life where danger lurked in every shadow. For five years, I followed him faithfully, like his shadow. I stitched his wounds and shielded him from bullets.

Evan had once risked his life for me too. He infiltrated enemy camps to save me and painted entire bases red to avenge me.

But now, this same man who had once loved me with his heart was shamelessly having an affair with another woman right in front of me.

Our love had turned into the cruelest joke of all.

With trembling hands, I dialed a top-secret number. "I accept an S-level mission and I request an immediate transfer."

——

"Evan, you’re still so fierce, even with your injury."

Violet Roswell lay breathlessly on Evan's bare chest, her delicate fingers tracing lazy circles on his skin.

"This wound was just stitched up by Doctor Montclair. Aren't you afraid it will split open again?"

She deliberately emphasized the words "Doctor Montclair" and her tone was dripped with provocation.
