When Love Becomes A Monstrous Joke

About this story

Synopsis

I spent three years, drained all my savings, and gave up my career as an architect, all just to help my husband Caden pay off his debts. Yet, at his residency appointment ceremony, I watched with my own eyes as he publicly thanked his "beautiful fiancée"—a wealthy heiress named Brianna. While I wore old clothes bought from thrift stores and survived on instant noodles just to barely cover his rent, he used my hard-earned money to buy her a brand-new BMW and gifted her a set of antique Cartier jewelry. Even the Montblanc pen I carefully selected and had engraved became a gift he gave to her. He kept our marriage a secret from the world, treating me like a nameless ATM, while using her family's hospital connections to climb step by step to the peak of his career. The most ironic part was when one day, Brianna unknowingly took out that very pen of mine to show me. "These kinds of men are just leeches. They will drain everything from you and then throw you away, shattered." Everything from my past three years had actually become an absurd joke. I blocked his number, tossed that cheap pawnshop wedding ring into the trash, and left this city to build a kingdom of my own. Later, Brianna also discovered his true colors, and together, we made sure he received the punishment he deserved. To think he actually ended up crying and screaming, kneeling down to beg for our forgiveness!
