Chapter 1

James has always been deeply emotional. There was a time when I went to see a girl, and he nearly ran me over with his car. I couldn't help but ask, "Do you really like her that much?" James replied with a chilling tone, "She would take a bullet for me, would you?" I laughed, "Of course not."

James had been hiding a lover behind my back for six months, and I had no clue. It wasn't until a week ago, when I was dealing with my period, that he suddenly commented, "You never seem to be in much pain." I was taken aback, and it dawned on me that this jerk must have someone else who suffers a lot during hers.

So I casually remarked, "Dennie has been helping me with some remedies, just a few doses and I'm fine." James didn't flinch, just gave a nonchalant "Hmm."

Three days later, I went abroad, and he took that girl to the same place. When the photo reached me, it was too blurry to make out any faces. But James's radiant demeanor was unmistakable. I'm not shocked that James would cheat. I'm shocked that he's so invested. What kind of girl could she be?

Out of curiosity, I returned to the country without informing James. I had Katy drive me to where James was hiding her. By chance, James was stepping out of his Cullinan, throwing his custom suit into the car, and putting on a cheap jacket. Then he added glasses, ruffled his hair, and picked up a laptop bag. I couldn't help but laugh. "Is he trying to look like Kevin the programmer?"

Katy kept her head down, as quiet as a mouse. Once James was upstairs, I opened the car door. "Wait here, I'll go check it out."

"Lila..."

"What are you afraid of? He can't kill me, right?"

"And he won't kill you either!"
