Through the livestream, Megan watched Bethan lean affectionately against Hugh, playing the role of a doting wife in front of countless cameras. Hugh’s gaze never wavered from her, filled with tenderness that made Megan’s blood boil. With a sharp tug, she ripped the

headband from her hair.

She was Hugh’s first love. She was the only woman he had ever truly loved. As long as she was in the picture, Bethan would never be more than a placeholder.

Turning toward the mirror, Megan studied the delicate beauty of her reflection. She forced her breathing into steadiness, smoothed her expression, then quickly dialed Hugh’s number.

Outside, the black Bentley glided through the streets of

New York.

The sudden ring of his phone shattered the stillness, grating against the quiet.

Hugh glanced at the caller ID, then turned his head toward Bethan.

Without hesitation, Bethan slipped the phone into her bag and zipped it shut.

Meeting his eyes, she said calmly, “If it makes things easier, I can step out.”

Her tone was light, almost indifferent, as though she were offering to run the most mundane errand.

She gave a soft instruction to the driver to pull over.

Hugh’s eyes darkened, sharp and searching, as if he could pierce through her chest and uncover every thought she had buried inside.

The Bentley rolled to a slow stop at a temporary space by the curb. Bethan reached for the door handle.

By the time Hugh snapped out of his daze, one of her legs was already stepping out.

He cut the call and caught her wrist. “I hung up. You don’t need to leave.”

Bethan glanced back at him but shook free of his grip, slipping out of the car.

Standing on the sidewalk, she bent slightly to look at him through the window. Her voice was even, almost kind. “You should return her call. She struggles with depression, and she’s hopelessly attached to you. If she does something reckless, you’ll regret ignoring her.”

Then she straightened, turned, and walked away with quiet composure, pulling out her phone to order a ride.

Hugh felt her words hit his chest like a hammer.

His breathing grew ragged. He pushed open the opposite door and strode after her.

Bethan heard his footsteps behind her. When she turned, he was already standing in front of her.

“The press conference is over,” she said, her expression cool. “Is there anything else you need from me?”

His face was stormy, his gaze locked on her. “Bethan, if you’re unhappy, if you feel wronged, you can tell me. You don’t have to treat me this way.”

She lowered her phone and looked straight at him, her eyes distant, detached. “And what would it change if I did? I can’t divorce you.”

Her voice was steady, cutting. “What would it matter if I said I was hurt? I signed your contract. I live under your threats, under the fear of prison. All I can do is endure it.”

Her tone sharpened. “If I tell you everything I feel, then what? Will I magically save myself? Or will you finally let me go?”

They stood face-to-face on the sidewalk, the city rushing around them.

Her words came like blows, but her expression was composed, her tone edged with disdain.

Hugh’s chest rose and fell sharply.

His throat bobbed as he swallowed, and in his eyes

flickered a storm of emotions-guilt, pain, and conflict.

For a moment, it all churned together before his gaze steadied, the turmoil buried once again.

He reached for her arm, tugging her gently closer. His voice softened. “Your mother’s being discharged today. Let me go with you.”

Bethan’s lips curved into a tight, humorless smile. “Hugh, you know very well my family doesn’t want to see you.”

His jaw tightened, his silence heavy.
