Chapter 5

I sent my message a full half hour ago, and Bren still hasn't responded. Calling him goes unanswered too.

Instead, Vivian sent me a voice message.

"Are you annoying or what? Why do you keep calling Bren? Don't you know? Bren and I hate being disturbed when we're alone together."

I suppressed the anger in my heart and replied to her:

"I've already told him I want to reject him. If you don't want to remain nameless forever, have him come back and break the mate bond with me."

Vivian stopped responding.

I really had no patience to wait for Bren's message anymore.

I directly contacted a moving company and started packing all my belongings.

Including all the various gifts I'd given him over the years.

Oil paintings I'd made for him, ties and cufflinks I'd bought him...

He'd thrown all these things in the storage room like garbage.

Since he doesn't want them, I'll throw them all away—along with the heart that once loved him.

Although I'd lived in this house for seven years, it took only three hours to load all my things onto the moving truck.

As I was leaving, I ultimately couldn't hold back and burst into tears again.

I had just moved to my new apartment and was simply organizing my things.

That's when I received another message from Vivian:

"Come over. Bren is at my hotel suite. He's agreed to break the mate bond."

Looking at this message, my fingers tightened unconsciously around my phone.

In the end, I only replied: "Okay."

Before leaving, I'd already formed a revenge plan in my mind.

I changed into a quick-dry outfit and grabbed a camera with a telephoto lens.

Then I took a taxi straight to the hotel Vivian had sent me.

I'd been humiliated by Vivian for a whole month.

It was time to let her experience what being humiliated feels like.

Even though I knew Bren would be furious and we'd both lose in the end.
