Chapter 3

3.

Janelle left early the next morning.

Not long after, I saw paparazzi gossip blowing up on my feed.

The headline read: "Top Actress Janelle Spotted Entering a Five-Star Hotel with Her Boyfriend."

Attached was a photo of Miles with his arm wrapped around Janelle as they walked inside.

Right below it was a screenshot of Janelle's official social media post.

She had written: "Miles is my first love and the person I cherish most in this world."

In that exact moment, my heart shattered into dust.

Janelle was an A-list actress who had never acknowledged our marriage publicly.

She always claimed revealing it would ruin her career, maintaining a single status in the public eye.

Yet now, she proudly announced Miles to the entire world.

Our seven years together felt like one giant, humiliating joke.

This marriage should have ended a long time ago.

I texted my editor, telling her I accepted the offer to relocate to her company in London.

She replied in shock: "Are you really sure? Can you really leave your wife behind?"

I was a bestselling web novelist with a massive readership.

A year ago, my editor had invited me to expand my career at her new branch overseas.

I had turned her down back then because I couldn't bear to leave Janelle.

"I'm divorcing her," I typed back.

"From now on, I'm living only for myself."

I had written so many triumphant stories and created so many invincible male leads.

Now, it was time to become the hero of my own life.
