Chapter 1

To chase a cheap thrill, my wife knelt in the driver's seat of a parked car to pleasure her boss.

She never expected me to drive right past them.

In her panic, she accidentally bit down on him.

The man slammed on the gas instead of the brake, crashing head-on into a semi-truck.

When the paramedics arrived, they asked how I was related to the injured pair.

I blew out a slow cloud of cigarette smoke and replied coldly:

"Just a passerby. Didn't want their corpses left on the asphalt."

"What a psycho…"

The paramedic gave me a bizarre look.

Just moments ago, my wife had been gripping my hand from the stretcher, begging me: "Please, don't tell anyone about this!"

I snapped back to reality and took a deep breath.

I handed the doctor Marcus's phone, telling him that the emergency contact was Marcus's wife and that they should deal with her.

Then, I turned around and walked out of the hospital.

When I got home, I looked at our marriage certificate on the wall and our sleeping daughter.

I could not hold it together anymore.

I slammed my fist into the wall with all my strength.

Until today, I never could have imagined Natalie would cheat on me.

We had been together since high school.

I gave her everything and treated her like a spoiled princess.

She loved playing the piano.

I worked myself to the bone just to buy her the best grand pianos and pay thousands for masterclasses with world-renowned instructors.

The Chopin Competition, the Schumann Competition…

Whenever she wanted to compete, I backed her up completely.

To protect her delicate pianist hands, I took over every single household chore after we got married.

I truly lived by the vow that I would provide, while she only had to look beautiful.
