place like this.” 

Chapter

Now that we were alone, Chad dropped the 

act

Seeing how they were determined to leave me 

with nothing, a strange calm settled over me

At least I figured out their game now

When Lucy and Chad took off again, I left

divorce agreement and bailed on that place

く 

Just outside my crummy apartment complex

Lucy leaned over and kissed Chad, not 

bothering to hide their relationship

Babe, why did you have to push Mikey’s 

buttons like that? Good thing he didn’t flip 

out like at the hospital, or we’d be in a mess.” 

Chad, ignoring her complaint, wrapped his 

arm around her waist and chuckled

What’s the matter, getting soft? You didn’t 

actually fall for him during those three years

did you? Now you’re regretting how things 

played out?” 

A flicker of something crossed Lucy’s face

but she shook her head quickly

く 

Of course not! It’s just that, if Mikey hadn’t 

been your rival, he actually wasn’t a bad 

guy” 

Chad cut her off impatiently

Drop it. Is that will you drew up really solid?

keep thinking some of the properties on that 

list don’t match what I remember.” 

Lucy frowned, barely noticeably, before 

saying, Impossible. I know every property the 

family owns after three years. You’re probably 

misremembering something the old man 

messed up, or a business that closed down.” 

Chad seemed satisfied and dropped the 

subject

As they got into the car. Lucy hesitated again

Chad stopped with the keys halfway to the 

ignition, turning to give her a sharp look

TL 

That’s right. Why would I? Lucy, you’ve been 

acting weird ever since we left him. Don’t tell 

me you caught feelings for him?” 

Lucy waved her hands, shaking her head

What? That’s crazy! I’ve been in love with 

you all these years! Why else would I have 

done all this?” 

Chad seemed satisfied, starting the car

That evening, Lucy brought home all of 

Mikey’s favorite takeout food. A part of her 

felt guilty, but there was nothing she could 

  1. do

Chad was the man she loved

When she stood in front of his apartment, she 

realized she didn’t have a key

Right, this wasn’t their fancy downtown 

condo anymore. After their fight, Mikey hadn’t 

given her a key

Mikey? You home? Can you open the 

door?” 

She knocked gently, surprised no one 

answered

A chilling thought struck her

Mikey couldn’t get around very well, and he 

was now broke. What if he’d done something 

stupid

く 

Suddenly terrified, she called a locksmith 

from a sign on the door and had him pick the 

lock

Mikey!” 

She burst inside to find the apartment empty

It didn’t even look like anyone lived there. The 

boxes Mikey had moved were gone

Mikey! Where are you?!” 

Lucy, with a hint of desperation, searched 

every room

Finally, she saw a divorce agreement and

wedding ring on the table

You want a divorce?!” 

It felt like a knife to the heart. A cold, bitter 

wind blew in, forcing her to confront her 

feelings

Tears blurred her vision

Why was she crying over Mikey? She wasn’t… 

she never loved him, right

Lucy cried silently, trying to convince herself 

divorce was for the best, just a temporary 

adjustment

She’d be free to be with Chad! She should be 

happy

But she didn’t notice something was off

The next day, she was off her game around 

Chad

Lucy? Why are you spacing out?” 

She brushed off Chad’s concern, saying she 

felt sick

That day, they finally found the company

Chad was looking for

Standing in front of the enormous office 

building, Chad was thrilled

He strutted past the front desk and barged 

into the CEO’s office, ready to take over

Sorry! The old man is gone! I’m taking over 

this company!” 

But when he saw who was sitting in the 

CEO’s chair, he paled

Mikey?! What are you doing here?!” 

Chapter

It’d been a while since I saw those two

Seeing them barge into my office with such 

entitlement made me frown

I’m the CEO. Why wouldn’t I be here?” 

I leaned back in my leather chair, my 

expression cold

Chad didn’t believe it. That’s impossible

You’re going against the old man’s will?!” 

Lucy, clearly surprised to see me here

く 

frowned and said, Mikey, stop it. Don’t 

embarrass Chad. Respect the old man’s will

Besides, I’m a lawyer. You can’t just take this 

business.” 

I shrugged, looking at them carefully

Will? What a joke! Do you know why this 

business isn’t on the old man’s will?” 

Chad scoffed. The old man messed up! He 

was getting old. He forgot something, big 

deal!” 

Lucy chimed in, Yeah, that’s gotta be it

otherwise” 

I cut her off. Otherwise, it doesn’t make 

sense? A business this big, not specifically 

listed in the will.” 

Chad still didn’t get it. I stood up, leaning on 

the table to get closer to them. Because the 

old man transferred this business to me

long time ago! The will was for the smaller 

stuff! He just helped me manage this, and 

made some retirement money! That’s why it’s 

not on the will!” 

What?! No way!” 

Lucy gasped, her face losing color

I clapped my hands, calling in the company’s 

legal team

They brought out the contracts and videos

everything with legal proof showing the 

transfer of assets

anuard looking at 

Lucy and Chad stumbled forward, looking at 

the evidence

The old man knew Chad was greedy and 

useless. He transferred all the important 

businesses to me when he was still in shape 

to do it

I turned to Lucy, Lucy, you’re a lawyer

Taking this is a bad idea.” 

Chad looked at Lucy, who nodded slowly

Yeah, this is your property. It has nothing to 

do with the old man.” 

Are you screwing with me?!” 

Chad grabbed my shirt. I punched him in the 

As Lucy screamed, I pinned Chad to the 

ground and started punching him, yelling

Who’s screwing who?! My grandfather was 

good to you, and this is how you repay him?! 

Chad, you don’t deserve the name! Who do 

you think you are?! I gave you too much 

credit!” 

Stop! Stop!” 

Lucy cried, trying to pull me off. Chad 

struggled to get up, but my bodyguards

arrived

You’ll pay for this!” 

With the bodyguards watching, Chad spat 

blood and left

Looking at Lucy holding my arm, I yanked 

away and said, You get out, Lucy. I don’t 

want to see you!”
