    Chapter 1 Divorce


    “Lucian, I’ve been married to you for three years, but


    you’ve never once touched me. I’ll give my blessing to


    you and your first crush by giving up on our marriage.


    Tomorrow, you’re free to go after her. But for now, just


    make it up to me for my feelings for you all these years,


    please?”


    With that said, Roxanne Jarvis leaned down and


    pressed her lips to the man before her as though she


    was a moth drawn to fire. Her action was both frenzied


    and desperate.


    She knew this was a despicable move, but she had


    loved him for too long.


    All the while, she had suffered greatly, and now, all she


    wanted was a little constion.


    “Roxanne, how dare you!”


    Lucian Farwell clenched his jaw as his fury sprang to


    life. His handsome face was as ck as thunder.


    He wanted to push her away, but the mounting desire in


    his body was too overpowering. It threatened to burn


    away all his capacity for reason.


    How dare she scheme against me?


    “I’m afraid of nothing…”


    A lone drop of tear slipped out of the corner of


    Roxanne’s eye. Her kisses grew rapid as her


    inexperienced hands fumbled around his body hastily.


    All she wanted was to own him entirely for once.


    A wave of fury crashed through Lucian.


    s, things weren’t under his control.


    Soon, his instincts took over. As his body burned up, he


    lost his rationalepletely.


    The next day, Roxanne woke up at dawn.


    Tamping down on her difort, she got out of bed and


    put on her clothes. After that, she pulled out the divorce


    agreement she had prepared from the drawer and


    ced it on the bedside table. Before leaving, she


    gazed at the man in the bed.


    “Lucian, I’ll set you free. From today onward, we shall


    go on separate ways. We will have nothing to do with


    each other anymore,” Roxanne murmured.


    She averted her gaze and turned to leave.


    Her heart was full of bitterness and anguish as she


    stepped out of the Farwell residence.


    Roxanne had loved Lucian for seven years.


    She had a crush on him from her teenage years until


    her university days, so her biggest wish was to be his


    wife.


    s, Lucian despised her the moment she married into


    his family.


    Back then, his grandfather was critically ill and needed a


    joyous asion to hopefully ward off the bad luck. As


    luck would have it, she was selected to be Lucian’s wife.


    Her greedy father and stepmother immediately agreed


    to the marriage.


    She could still remember how delighted she was as she


    waited for the night of her wedding.


    Yet, when Lucian showed up, he bore a disgusted


    expression. “Roxanne, I’ll have you know that the


    person I want to marry is Aubree Pearson. I never


    wanted to marry you! Only Aubree has the right to be


    my wife. You’re not good enough for me,” he dered.


    Roxanne knew that Lucian wasn’t obliged to love her.


    However, she still held on to the hope that the man


    would warm up to her one day.


    In the past three years of their marriage, she did her


    best to be a good and caring wife.


    Every night, she’d prepare dinner so he coulde


    home to freshly cooked meals.


    No matter howte it was, she would only go to bed in


    peace after his return.


    If he got drunk at social events, she would take care of


    him meticulously instead of leaving him in someone


    else’s hands.


    Whenever he got ill or hurt, she would be more worried


    than anyone else.

    Every winter, she would switch on the heater and fill the


    bathtub with hot water for him. In the morning, she’d


    wake up earlier than usual to warm his clothes up so he


    wouldn’t feel the cold.


    Nevertheless, he never loved her, and he never would.


    The day before yesterday was Roxanne’s birthday, but


    Lucian went to the hospital to keep Aubreepany.


    It was then that Roxanne finally understood that her


    one-sided feelings would never be reciprocated.


    She would never make Lucian fall for her, for his heart


    belonged to another woman.


    Thus, Roxanne decided to give up.


    Lucian only roused by ten in the morning.


    The first thing he wanted to do after getting up was to


    choke Roxanne to her death.


    Lucian was the CEO of Farwell Group, known for his


    acuteness. No one in the corporate world was his


    match. Thus, he had never fallen for someone else’s


    trap.


    Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to fall for that


    woman’s trap!


    Simmering with anger, he nced around the room but


    didn’t see Roxanne anywhere. Out of the corner of his


    eye, he spotted the document on the bedside table.


    “What is that?”


    Lucian’s brows furrowed as he picked up the document


    with the words “Divorce Agreement” printed in bold text


    on the front page.


    His gaze narrowed dangerously.


    First, she resorted to that despicable trick to force me to


    have sex with her, and now she wants a divorce. Ha!


    How many tricks does she have up her sleeves?


    Lucian refused to believe that Roxanne wanted to


    divorce him for real.


    Getting to his feet, he put on his clothes and strode


    downstairs furiously. “Did you see Roxanne?” he asked


    the butler, Lance.


    Taken aback, Lance replied swiftly, “Mr. Farwell, Mrs.


    Farwell left home with her luggage before dawn.”


    Hearing that, Lucian halted in his tracks in surprise.


    Six yearster, at VR Medical Research Institute,


    Yartran.


    Roxanne had just stepped out of herboratory when


    her assistant, Linda, told her, “Dr. Jarvis, Professor


    Lambert needs to talk to you. He wants to see you in his


    office.”


    After staying up the entire night, Roxanne was feeling


    drowsy. However, upon hearing Linda’s words, she


    snapped out of her daze as her mind cleared.


    “Did he say anything? Don’t tell me my little rascals


    destroyed the research results again?”


    “Apparently,” came Linda’s answer.


    She shot Roxanne a sympathetic look.


    Roxanne was an efficient and capable woman. At a


    young age, she became the mentee of Harvey Lambert,


    the best professor in the medical world. With her


    outstanding capabilities, she was never reprimanded for


    her work.


    Nevertheless, that didn’t stop her from being the


    scapegoat for her naughty sons.


    Lindaforted her, “You spent three days in the


    laboratory, so Archie and Benny were worried about


    you. They spent their days bumbling around in


    Professor Lambert’s office. I think he got a few new


    white strands of hair from the trouble they caused.”


    Hearing that, Roxanne felt an iing headache. She


    couldn’t help but find the situation funny, too.


    Six years ago, she left the Farwell residence and


    headed overseas without hesitation.


    Initially, she wanted to further her studies but soon


    discovered she was pregnant.


    Back then, she was caught in a dilemma on whether


    she should abort her children. When she arrived at the


    hospital, she changed her mind, for she couldn’t bear to


    part with her children.


    In the end, she kept her children.


    Roxanne was pregnant with triplets—two boys and a


    girl.


    During her delivery, her baby girl was born without any


    signs of life due to ack of oxygen, and only the boys


    survived. She nicknamed her sons Archie and Benny.


    The thought of her genius sons gave Roxanne utter


    bliss.


    However, she slumped her shoulders when she recalled


    she was about to get reprimanded, thanks to their


    actions.
