Chapter 1

On Diana's birthday, a woman who was my husband's first love, I became the special guest without knowing what was in store.

My husband Zachary Brown personally selected me to perform a high-altitude bungee jump.

"I can't do this..."

Before I could finish, Zachary Brown pressed down on my shoulder and called two people over.

"You don't get a choice."

Just like that, I was forcibly dragged onto the high platform and strapped into crude bungee equipment.

Looking at the crowd below, I trembled all over, my legs too weak to support me. I begged pitifully:

"I'm afraid of heights. Please let me down."

But all I saw was Zachary Brown with his arm around Diana, laughing so hard they could barely stand.

"Lily, you're quite the actress. You used to climb trees to rescue cats. Now you're playing the coward?"

With that, he pressed the switch without hesitation.

I screamed in terror. My heart raced faster and faster from the stimulation, then a sharp pain shot through me, and I plunged completely into darkness.
