Chapter 8
The day I recorded the video, I had been vomiting relentlessly, coughing up blood, and briefly losing all my senses. I knew, deep down, that death was approaching.
It took all my strength to rise, spend hours on my makeup, get dressed and sat in front of the camera. It took me three hours to accomplish such simple tasks.
“Alpha Logan, I didn’t expose you sooner because I didn’t want to worsen Grandma’s condition. Now that she’s gone, I have no reason to hold back.”
“You cheated behind my back, starting a family with her right under my nose. You broke your promises first. Even if I die I’ll make sure everyone knows the truth about

what you did.”
“I’ve already filed for divorce. After the funeral, I want my best friend Celia to take
my ashes. I won’t be buried as your Luna, not even in death.”
The video ended with Joanna stumbling into my hospital room that night. I had
installed a camera in secret, and it captured the moment she went mad, yanking off my oxygen mask in a fit of rage, with every detail recorded.
The footage caused an uproar in the church.
Joanna, terrified, collapsed to the floor. Faced with the eyes of everyone, she shook her head frantically, denying it. “No! It wasn’t me!”
Celia had already contacted the police, and

they immediately arrested Joanna on the spot. Terrified, Joanna’s tears flowed freely as she clung to Alpha Logan.
“Alpha Logan! It wasn’t me! Save me! Our child was just born, can’t you bear the thought of the baby growing up without a mother?”
Alpha Logan’s expression had become numb, his face ashen. “If you hadn’t gone to my mother, telling her you were going to have my child, Melissa and I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Yes, Alpha Logan and I had once been deeply in love. When his career hadn’t yet taken off, I stayed with him in a dark, damp basement, eating nothing but instant noodles. I was with him through the hardest years of his life.

That’s when I developed a stomach ailment, and it was Alpha Logan who made me three meals a day without fail. Our life was simple, but we were happy.
I had thought we would continue like that forever.
Even when I received my diagnosis, what I feared was not death, but leaving him alone in this world.
How had we ended up here?
Joanna’s eyes turned red as she wept bitterly, “I didn’t do anything wrong! Melissa was going to die anyway! She’s the one who deliberately ruined me!”
Celia walked over and kicked her, shouting in anger, “Melissa wasn’t supposed to die! You shameless mistress, you destroyed her

family and killed her with your own hands!”
As they took Joanna away, she continued to plead with my mother–in–law, “Mom! Mom! Please save me! I’m the mother of the child, you can’t just watch me die!”
“It was Melissa who framed me!”
But who would believe that someone would sacrifice their life to frame another?
Except for me.
Alpha Logan knelt on the ground, begging Celia not to take my ashes, his voice hoarse. “Please, give me a chance to atone for what I did to Melissa. Don’t take her away from me.”
Celia scoffed, tossing the court ruling at his face. “Melissa has nothing to do with you anymore. You abandoned her first. Don’t act

so emotional.”
For the first time, I saw despair and a broken heart in Alpha Logan’s eyes–a renowned Alpha, disheveled and kneeling on the ground, crying. Even when I exposed his affair with Joanna and the police took her away, he hadn’t been this devastated.
But when Celia was going to take my ashes, Alpha Logan seemed to have lost his whole world.
