Chapter 1

After three years of fighting in divorce court, Julian suddenly withdrew the case.

It was hard to believe. Just a while ago, because I slapped his cheating assistant, Chloe, he pinned me down and beat me black and blue, forcing me to sign the divorce papers.

But now, he came home on time every single day. He handed over his phone, reported his schedule, and never mentioned the word "divorce" again.

I thought he had finally fallen back in love with me.

Until today, when I couldn't help but ask him why.

He stayed silent for a long time before whispering, "My future self from ten years later called me."

"He said that after the divorce, you would start a fire and burn Chloe alive."

"So, I can't let you go."

At that moment, the cold truth finally hit me.

This marriage I had fought so hard to save wasn't salvaged because he changed his mind.

It was because he would rather trap me in a living hell for the rest of my life just to keep her safe.

If that was the case, this marriage wasn't worth keeping anymore.
