The color drained from my face instantly as 1 Turned toward the
Not far off, surrounded by a crowd of reporters, Sean was glaring at me, his ejes binodshot.
“Emily, come home with me. I won’t blame you?
He looked worse than before, his face more baggard. The man who mice cared so much about his appearance now seemed disheveled, unshaven, his
clothes pumpled
He staggered toward me, his face pale, and indenly fell in his knees in front of me.
“Tavily, I kume I was wrong. I don’t mind that you abetted our child, or that you left bone. I don’t even mind your affair. Please just come home with.
Iemldn’t help but laugh at how pathetic he seemed.
His words were full of self pity, yet every sentence subtly blamed me
Saying these things in front of the media, he knew exactly what the consequences would be. But he didn’t care. He just wanted to perform his “deep love in front of the camenu.

I suppressed the disgust rising in my chest and said coldly, “I can’t give up on divorce. Stop pestering me. Can’t we just p
Sean clearly didn’t expect me to be so harsh with him. His face went ashen
His trembling hands reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring, trying to spit onto my finger
“Emily, don’t be so cruel to me. I love you!”
Alex immediately pushed him aside, standing in front of me protectively.
“Sean, if you really loved Emily, you wouldn’t keep forcing her,”
Sean’s eyes, filled with rage, locked onto Alex as he seered.
“You’re nothing but a male mistress, aren’t you?”
“I’m the only one who truly loves Emily! No one else has the right to be with her! Even if Emily has cheated, Fl love her forever. I won’t betray her!”
Some reporters were moved to tears by his words.
But then a figure suddenly stumbled forward, collapsing into Sean’s arms.
“Sean, you promised you’d marry me!”
Lily, her eyes swollen, cried out to the camera
“You said that as long as I had your child, you’d divorce Emily! Why did you lie to me?”
“Why did you make me the target of online harassment? I never meant to seduce you! Why did you push me to this point?”
“Why did you make me break up with my boyfriend and be with you?
The reporters, sensing something was off with Lily, immediately turned their meas on her
I didn’t want to watch any longer. I grabbed Alex’s arm and tried to leave.
Sean tried to follow, but Laly clung to him desperately.
He looked at her in dogust, then shoved her away.
But Lily wasn’t going to let him go so easily. She dug her nails into his neck, screaming

Sean looked at me as I walked away, his eyes bloodshot. He slapped Laby se the face with all his strength.
“What right do you have to insult my Emily?
Stop pretending to be innocent. You were the one who climbed into my bed det
“You’re the one who’s trash! Why don’t you just die already? I’m with you because you’re cheap and chon’t want money!”
Laly coveted her red, swollen face, dared, and stared at him.
Suddenly, she forced a bitter smile, then turned and ran tuntil the nePAIL
A wave rolled over her, and she disappeared from sight.
Her last words to the world were.
Sean, may you never find peace.”
Lily had jumped

The reporters‘ cameras caught every moment of it.
Sean’s mask of deep affection shattered completely.
He was devoured by the online backlash, but he seemed unaffected, continuing to harass me outside my hotel until the police arrested him.
Lity had led a lawsuit before her death, and the evidence was irrefutable. St had accused him of intentional harm
When I heard the news, I let out a sigh of relief
I couldn’t help but feel that this New Year had certainly been eventful
A few days before New Year’s Eve, Alex confessed to me.

He was a great guy, but right now, I wanted freedom more than anything.

I didn’t say anything else. Instead, I booked a plane ticket to Antarctica.
Originally, Sean and I had planned our honeymoon to Antarctica, but Lily had changed the location at the last minute
To make up for that regret and because I wanted to see more of the world in the limited time I had, I decided to go to Antarctica alene,
It was freezing cold, but I saw the most beautiful auroras
The platas didn’t compare to the feeling of seeing them with my own eyes.
that moment, I was so gratefid to myself for being brave and resilient
When I returned, I went to visit Sean in prison.
He had lost so much weight, and the guards told me it was because he kept dreaming of Lily coming to collect her life debt.
When Sean saw me, his eyes lit up
He looked at me cautiously.

I turned to leave, but his hand suddenly grabbed my sleeve,
I looked down and saw that his scars had healed, leaving behind a disfigured mark on his once beautiful land, just like my marrings with him.
