‘…Mikey, did you know everything?”
Lucy didn’t move, just looked at me, eyes red.
I faked confusion. “Know what?”
Lucy looked at me, searching my face.
Finding nothing, she said, “If you didn’t know,
you wouldn’t have hid all this from me! Even
when I saw that lawyer recruitment job, you
didn’t tell me! You never trusted me?!”
She looked betrayed, like I had deceived her. I
wanted to laugh
How could she think I betrayed her?!
I shook my head, sounding bitter. “No, Lucy, I
didn’t tell you because you work too hard. I
didn’t want you to worry.”
Lucy seemed moved.
Then, my voice changed. “Now, I’m
disappointed in you! Yeah, I know everything.
The thought of being with you for so long
makes me sick!”
She pursed her lips, then got angry. “I did this
for love! What do you know?! I love Chad!”
Seeing her anger, I got angry too. “What
about me?! Lucy, what am I to you?! Can you
honestly say you were good to me?! You

teamed up with Chad to trick me?!”
Lucy had never heard me talk to her like this.
“Mikey, what you’re saying doesn’t matter. I’m
with Chad! We’re over!”
Hearing that, I laughed. “You think you got
love? Do you want to know where Chad is
now?!”
Lucy frowned. I motioned for a car and turned
to Lucy.
“Come with me. See your true love’s true
colors.”
Lucy hesitated, then got in the car.
We stopped outside a private club. My
assistant was waiting. He led us to a room
く
I told Lucy to look through the crack in the
door.
There was Chad and a woman I hadn’t seen in
three years, my fiance, Katelyn.
Lucy’s eyes widened, her hand gripping the
doorknob.
Katelyn was putting medicine on the wounds
I’d given Chad, sounding worried.
“Babe! Are you falling for Lucy? What about
me?! I’ve been waiting for you!”
Chad grimaced, then kissed her fingers.
“Honey, how could I love her? I swear, I’m
with Lucy for the money. A lawyer like her is

Katelyn hugged Chad, tearful. “When will this.
end! I hate sneaking around…”
“It’s all Lucy’s fault! She can’t even do this
right! I haven’t asked her to do anything!
She’s useless!”
Chad rubbed Katelyn’s back, trying to
comfort her.
I looked at Lucy, her face white, shaking. I felt
a pang of sympathy.
How could someone be so good at her job
and so stupid in love?!
Only she would have bought Katelyn drugging
him!
<
The actions in the room were getting bolder.
Lucy kicked open the door, yelling, “…What
are you doing?!”
Chapter 8
“Lucy?! What are you doing here?!”
Chad jumped, shoving Katelyn away.
Slap!
Lucy slapped Chad, pointing at Katelyn. “Why
are you with her?! You said you were forced
to?! Chad, have you ever told the truth?! I
can’t stand you!”
Chad, with nothing to lose, told her the truth.
If Loot the inheritance pow

“Yeah! So what if I got the inheritance now, I
don’t need you! Lucy, you didn’t think I loved
you?! Don’t be ridiculous!”
“You…!”
Lucy tried to hit him, but Chad grabbed her
wrist and threw her to the ground. He looked
at me, laughing.
“Mikey, you didn’t lose here, Lucy has nice
hips and also she can have a good time!
Yesterday she was begging me for me not to
leave her!”
Before I could respond, Lucy screamed.
“Shut up! Shut your mouth!”
<
She finally saw Chad for who he was.
Seeing the tension, I crouched down, smiling
at Lucy. “Lucy, do you want to get revenge?”
Chad frowned. Lucy nodded, her voice
trembling.
“What can I do?! Anything!”
I nodded. “Simple. Just admit the will is fake!”
Chad’s face changed. He mocked Lucy.
“Lucy, if you do that, we’re both in trouble.
Don’t ruin your career! Your future is bright,
don’t ruin it for this!”
Lucy stood up, looking at me, tears falling.
く
‘…Mikey, I was wrong. I’m sorry. I just want
to know, will you forgive me if I do this?”
I paused, giving her hope.
“It depends on what you can do, Lucy.”
Hearing that, Lucy looked at Chad with.
hatred.
“I’ll prove the will is fake!”
Chad was stunned, rushing to apologize.
“Lucy! You can’t do this! What will I do?! I
just made it! I was wrong!”
“Get away!”
Lucy pushed him away, turning to leave.
く
Katelyn was angry, slapping Chad and
stomping away.
“Lucy!”
Chad tried to stop Lucy, but my bodyguards
pinned him.
Chapter 9
That day, Chad was beaten and dumped in
the alley outside the club.
Lucy, being a lawyer, got all the evidence
together that afternoon.
While Chad was screaming in the alley, the
police arrested him.
After a long investigation the will was

declared fake, and all the inheritance returned
to me.
“You monsters! I’ll get you! Lucy! You
especially! You’ll die a horrible death!”
Chad screamed, but no one cared.
Lucy was arrested soon after, but she was
smiling.
“Mikey! I was a minor player! Just twenty
years! If I’m good, maybe I’ll get out in
eighteen! Then we can live together?!”
I looked at her, excited about our future, and
shook my head.
“Lucy, I can’t be with you. Not when you were
a lawyer, and especially not now.”
く
Lucy paused, “…What?!”
I laughed. “I never said I’d forgive you. From
the start, you and I were doomed!”
Lucy stared, then yelled, “You monster! You
tricked me?! Why would you trick me?!”
She tried to attack me, but the bulletproof
glass stopped her.
“I gave up my future for you! I’ll kill you!”
I finally felt satisfied, turning to leave.
“Come back! Come back!”
Lucy cried, then the guards held her down,
and I heard her screaming.
She yelled that I wasn’t human, but what they
did was worse.
I left the prison and drove to the cemetery to
tell the old man.
The grass swayed beside the headstone, like
he was nodding.
It was time to forget the past and start a new
life.
