Chapter 1


    “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 toText ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    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 her


    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


    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.
