Chapter 1
Camelia Aditi’s flight instructor husband Mukesh Willibert had gotten one of his students pregnant.
At their ninth wedding anniversary dinner, he brought her home.
With casual indifference, he instructed her: “Elowen’s super picky about food. Make sure her meals are different every single time.”
“She’s scared to sleep alone. Pack your stuff and move to the guest room.”
Without a word, Camelia grabbed her pre–packed suitcase and walked calmly toward the front door.
The housekeeper tried to stop her, but Mukesh just laughed coldly:
“Let her have her little meltdown. She’ll be crawling back within three days anyway.”
Everyone in the room burst out laughing.
Right in front of Camelia, they placed a million–dollar bet that she wouldn’t last the night before begging Mukesh to let her back in “like some pathetic little dog.”
What they didn’t know was that a Mercedes–Maybach was already waiting outside.
This time, she was truly leaving.
Just as she was about to exit the mansion, Mukesh called after her.
“Camelia Aditi, hand over your gemstone bracelet. Elowen’s been having nightmares lately.”
The bracelet was the only heirloom from her parents.
Noticing her reddened eyes, he sneered: “Name your price.”
How much was a nine–year marriage worth, where she’d been treated like garbage?
She couldn’t be bothered to calculate.
She only remembered how last time, when she refused to give Elowen her earmuffs at the airport, Mukesh had stripped. naked and abandoned her halfway up a mountain.
Camelia removed the bracelet and placed it on Elowen’s wrist.
“I hope your baby stays safe and healthy,” she told her.
Hearing her blessing, Mukesh surprisingly offered Camelia a compromise:
“Camelia, if you just do what you’re told, my kid can be your kid too.”
Just as he finished speaking, the bracelet slipped off Elowen’s wrist and shattered.

Seeing that Elowen’s leg was scratched, Mukesh scooped her up in his arms.
He barked orders at the housekeeper: “Get the doctor here now!”
The urgency in his manner made everyone turn to Camelia with smirks on their faces.
The whole scene wasn’t just funny to them. Even she found it is ironic.
Just last night, when she had a heart attack, Mukesh was heading out to watch shooting stars with Elowen.
Even as she collapsed foaming at the mouth, he simply stepped over her without a second glance.
Before losing consciousness, she heard him instruct the housekeeper:
“Get this place sanitized. Elowen’s coming home tomorrow, and I don’t want her smelling anything disgusting.”
As she gripped her suitcase and turned to leave, Mukesh grabbed her wrist brutally:
“Apologize.”
“What?”
Before she could finish, he dragged her to kneel at Elowen’s feet.
Her knees scraped against jade fragments, staining the white floor crimson.
Seeing the blood, Mukesh released her with revulsion.
“You deliberately broke Elowen’s bracelet and hurt her. Say you’re sorry, now!
”
Since marrying Mukesh, “I’m sorry” had become her mantra.
The soup she made was too bland? “I’m sorry.”
Texting him when he was drunk because she was worried? “I’m sorry.”
Accidentally seeing Elowen’s texts inviting him to a hotel? “I’m so sorry for invading your privacy…”
Biting the inside of her cheek until she tasted blood, Camelia forced herself to stand.
She bowed deeply to Elowen and apologized three times.
Then she looked at Mukesh with empty eyes.
“Is that enough?” she asked quietly.
Staring at the blood on her lip, his chest visibly tightened:
“Camelia, your powerful grandfather isn’t here to save you. Who the hell are you putting on this pathetic act for?”
Before she could respond, the family doctor arrived hurriedly.

Mukesh shoved her aside and led the doctor to Elowen.
While his attention was completely focused on her, Camelia quickly walked out the door.
Just as she left the mansion, she heard two short honks.
Seeing the silver car outside the gates, she quickened her pace.
But before the gates opened, two security guards appeared suddenly and forcibly dragged her back to the mansion.
