I saved my husband, Antonio Kaufman, and went blind.

He promised to be my eyes and never to leave me.

I followed the treatment and my sight came back.

I rushed home to tell Antonio the good news, but I saw him lying on my bed with his secretary, Kelly Conway.

They were naked and kissing passionately.

Antonio called Kelly's name with affection.

"Antonio, why don't you divorce that blind woman? I get you and love you the most," Kelly said as she nestled between Antonio's legs.

"Give me a little more time," he replied.

***

It snowed heavily that night. I left home dressed only in thin clothing, feeling utterly disheartened. I decided to book a flight back to Ivywood Town, where Antonio would never be able to find me again.

After I booked the ticket, I thought the two inside would stop what they were doing.

But when I had calmed down and went back home, I saw them move from the bedroom to the living room, still hugging tightly and kissing fiercely. The air was filled with the smell of their passion.

Antonio looked at me with eyes full of desire, then bit his lip to keep quiet.

But Kelly was being naughty on purpose, teasing him all the time.

"Antonio, don't worry. Grace Parrish is blind. She can't see us," she whispered.

She looked at me with disdain.

Antonio touched her cheek. "Stop being naughty. Grace can hear anything unusual."

"Huh, but I think this is thrilling.

"Oops, it looks like that's all used up. We need to get some more," Kelly said softly with a sly smile, looking up.

Then, Antonio looked at me sitting on the sofa, trying to control his voice.

"Will you ask her to get it, or should I just get it myself?" Kelly asked Antonio, with a challenging glance in my direction.

After a moment of hesitation, Antonio decided to go along with what Kelly wanted. "Grace, my throat feels a bit off. Could you grab that cold medicine from the table?"

I looked at Antonio with a pale face while he was holding Kelly tightly with a flushed face and dazed eyes.

I struggled to hold back my emotions, my fists clenching. With a bitter smile, I glanced at the box on the table. The so-called "cold medicine" was a box of condoms.

Antonio wanted me to bring them condoms.

With a despairing face, I pretended not to see and fumbled around on the table to bring him the box.

"How did you catch a cold? Are you okay?"

My voice trembled, but Antonio didn't catch it.

"Y-Yes. I'll be fine after I take the medicine and get some sleep."

Kelly was flirting with Antonio. He gave her a playful yet annoyed look, signaling her to stop.

Then he took the box from my hand.

"Go get some rest. I'll sleep in the guest room, so you don't catch my cold."

After that, Antonio picked up Kelly and walked quietly toward the guest room.

Once they were gone, my eyes welled up and turned red.

Even though I decided to leave Antonio, my heart still ached terribly.

Antonio had promised he would never lie to me or betray me, but he broke his word.

I picked up my phone and called my mentor Trevor Morrow.

"Mr. Morrow, I'm willing to return to Ivywood Town and take over your business."

"Are you sure? Once you're back, you can't leave. You know, our town is closed off from the outside world, and no one is allowed in or out. Can you leave Antonio behind?"

Without hesitation, I replied, "Yes, I can."

Trevor was stunned for a long while.

"Well then, come back in seven days," he finally said.

In the past, I hesitated because I couldn't bear to leave Antonio.

But now, he made the choice for me.

I glanced at the closed door of the guest room, where heavy breathing kept coming out.

"I've wasted many years of my life. I know medicine, but I let that knowledge go to waste. Now I've decided to step up and help ease your burdens."

"Good, you're truly our pride. You haven't let me down. In eight days, we'll be waiting for you at the town entrance."

"I'll be there on time."

After chatting with Trevor for a bit, I hung up the phone. Just then, Antonio walked in wearing a white shirt.

His neck and body were covered with love bites and scratches left by Kelly during their moment of passion. He didn't realize I could see them now, since he still thought I was blind.

I suddenly felt a wave of nausea and started to retch.

Seeing my reaction, Antonio anxiously approached me. But as he got closer, all I could smell was Kelly's special perfume. Antonio had spoiled her so much that he even had a perfume company make a custom scent just for her.

The nausea got worse. I pushed Antonio away, still pretending to be blind, and felt my way to the bathroom. It seemed that my body couldn't stand being near him anymore.

Squatting down in front of the toilet, I kept dry heaving. After a while, when I finally felt a little better, I saw a pregnancy test in the trash can, showing two red lines. I stared at it for a long time, and it felt like it was laughing at how helpless I was.

I didn't know how I felt at that moment. I wanted to cry, but no tears would come. All I felt was this endless pain.

Ever since I lost my sight, Antonio and I hadn't had sex for half a year, so he turned to Kelly instead, and now she was pregnant with his baby.

Antonio followed me in hastily. He wrapped his arms around me from behind, his face showing how shocked he was.

"What's wrong, Grace? Are you sick?

"I was so scared when you pushed me away."

His hands around my waist were shaking a little like he thought I might vanish any second, so he hugged me even tighter.

Just now, Antonio was all over another woman, and now, he was saying sweet things to me.

He was really good at acting. I pulled away from his hands and put some space between us.

"Maybe my stomach isn't doing well. I can't keep anything down these days."

I didn't know when I had learned to lie. I used to hate people like this, but now, I had turned into the very person I used to despise.

But when Antonio heard this, he acted like it was a big deal.

Despite his usual cleanliness, he didn't seem to mind the vomit on my clothes and hugged me tightly again.

"I'm sorry. I've been busy with work recently and haven't had time to be with you. It's all my fault for leaving you to have your meals alone and taking care of yourself."

Antonio cupped my face in his hands, his brows furrowed with worry. Then he led me back to the bedroom and took out fresh clothes for me to change into, but I stopped him and put the clothes on myself.

He was stunned. This was the first time since we got married that I didn't need his help. It felt like his heart skipped a beat.

I was lying down on the bed when he carefully pulled the blanket over me.

"Grace, are you mad at me? Do you feel like I'm not spending enough time with you?

"Tomorrow is your birthday. I'll take the day off and spend it with you, okay?"

A man who was decisive and inspiring fear in the business world actually had a humble side. I couldn't help but give a bitter smile. Was I lucky or unlucky to be with him?

As I struggled against the drowsiness and was about to drift into sleep, Antonio thought I had fallen asleep. His phone rang just then.

He quickly silenced it and called out to me a couple of times. When I didn't respond, he answered it.

"You bad guy, you ripped my underwear. Go get me a new pair now."

"I'll be right over," Antonio said, casting a glance at me and then gently stroking my face before getting up and leaving.

I clutched the bedsheet hard, and my tears burst out. Kelly was still around. Antonio had been keeping her at home, thinking I couldn't see.

I tried to comfort myself, "It's okay. I'll be gone in seven days, and I'll cut off all ties with Antonio."

I woke up to find Antonio had made a big breakfast for me.

All were my favorite pastries and appetizers. He even picked one up and brought it to my lips.

"Honey, open your mouth. Let me feed you."

Sitting across from me, Kelly pouted unhappily.

Antonio sent her a message right in front of me: "I'll make it up to you later. Don't cause a scene in front of Grace. I'll give you whatever you want."

Kelly smugly cheered up, cast a contemptuous glance at me, and then got up and left. As she walked past Antonio, she ran her finger under his pants and walked out.

I didn't take the bite that Antonio was trying to feed me. Instead, I picked up my fork and pretended not to see, eating something else on my own. Thinking I was still sulking, Antonio insisted on taking me out after I finished eating.

He rented a yacht and invited many friends, saying he wanted to throw a grand birthday party for me.

The whole way there, Antonio held my hand tightly, like he was afraid I might trip or fall. He kept talking about all the sweet times we had together.

I didn't say anything. My heart was a mess of bitterness and pain.

I had once thought that we would be together forever, never apart, but it turned out to be a joke.

Antonio thrived on excitement and young girls. He had forgotten the promises he made when we got married.

When we walked into the yacht, the floor was covered with bright red rose petals.

I had always hated roses, and Antonio knew that. But Kelly liked them, so they must have been prepared for her.

How ironic. Antonio said it was my birthday, but it was probably another lie.

"Grace, we had our wedding here, remember? It was broadcast all over the world so everyone could see how much I loved you."

As Antonio talked about the past, his emotions got stirred up, and he actually shed a tear.

He lifted my hand and guided my fingers to touch the tear on his face.

It made me think, "What kind of love can make a man cry for real?"

If it weren't for his affair and betrayal, I would have been moved to tears and held him while crying.

He did love me before, but now everything had changed. His love had gone to Kelly.

I pulled my hand back, keeping my face calm. Antonio was lost in his own memories. Seeing that I wasn't moved at all, he looked hurt and dropped his eyes.

But after only a few seconds, his eyes lit up, and he looked out at the deck with a soft smile.

Kelly was wearing a fancy dress made just for her by Antonio. It was said that clothes made the man. Kelly looked noble and elegant in the dress, outshining me in my simple attire.

She walked over with a big smile. "Happy birthday, Mrs. Kaufman."

Then she moved right next to Antonio and, without caring who was watching, grabbed his hand.

"Mr. Kaufman, everything you wanted is ready. I'm going to count to three."

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

Right on cue, the night sky lit up with a dazzling array of fireworks, each one bursting in a brilliant display of color.

We three stood together. Antonio and Kelly were closely connected, looking like a couple.

I watched the fireworks, but they hurt my heart.

The fireworks showed Kelly's name when they exploded, not mine.

It was obvious who the birthday party and the fireworks were really for.

Suddenly, Antonio asked the maid to take care of me, saying he needed to leave for something important.

"Grace, wait for me here."

He kissed me on the forehead and then left in an eager hurry with Kelly.

I watched as Antonio and Kelly walked away, and I followed.

In the end, my eyes landed on the doorway. Inside, Kelly was sitting on Antonio, kissing him like crazy.

Antonio turned around and pushed her down beneath him.

"Fortunately, Grace can't see. You actually had the fireworks show your name. Don't do that again."

"What are you afraid of? She can't see anyway," Kelly said, tearing at Antonio's clothes.

Their breathing got heavier and heavier, and soon it was out of control.

My hand trembled as I took out my phone and pressed the record button at them.

I listened for as long as they kept going inside.

Eventually, Kelly got tired and fell asleep on top of Antonio.

But Antonio wasn't done yet. He woke her up and kept going.

I couldn't stand it any longer and left in a panic.

I ran all the way home without stopping. It wasn't until I reached home that I finally let go of Antonio for good.

I took off my wedding ring and threw it into the trash can.

Then I went to my room and found everything that reminded me of Antonio and me. I carried them out to the garden, dug a big hole, threw them in, and then set them on fire, burning them all to ashes.

I stood there, coldly watching the fire eat up our memories. "Antonio, there's no future for us anymore," I thought.

Just as I got back inside, Antonio rushed in, sweating and looking frantic.

Seeing me, he finally calmed down.

"Grace, why did you come home by yourself? That was so dangerous! You really scared me!" Antonio said, his voice trembling with fear.

I smiled, "You were gone too long.

"I was scared, so I asked the maid to bring me back."

Antonio hugged me tightly, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault."

I didn't say anything, and Antonio didn't leave. He stayed by my side, and we spent a few quiet days together.

On the seventh day, Antonio took me out for a walk, but he got a call halfway through. He tried to rush off, saying he had to work late.

I stopped him and took out a document, flipping to the signature page and handing it to him.

"I need you to sign this paper. I can't see."

In his haste to meet Kelly, Antonio signed without a second thought.

"What's this for? Are you buying a car or a house?" he asked.

He gave me a card and told me to buy whatever I needed, then he left quickly.

I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. He had no idea that he had just signed divorce papers.

Perhaps it was for the best. Antonio didn't need it anyway. I took off my sunglasses and watched as he walked away. "Goodbye, Antonio," I said quietly.

When I got home, I put the divorce papers and the video I recorded on the table.

I took one last long look at the house, picked up my suitcase, and left without looking back.

Meanwhile, Antonio rushed straight to the hospital. Kelly called him, saying she was injured. But when he got there, he realized he had been tricked again. It was just a little cold.

He glared at Kelly angrily. "Don't play these childish tricks again."

As he turned to leave, the doctor who had treated my eyes saw him and asked worriedly, "Mr. Kaufman, is Grace's eyesight acting up again?"

Antonio looked at him, puzzled.

"What do you mean by 'again'?"

"Seven days ago, we fixed Grace's eyes, and she could see again. She excitedly ran off, saying she wanted to tell you the good news herself."

Antonio almost lost his balance. He leaned against the wall and looked panicked.

Then he pushed past Kelly and stumbled back home.

"Grace, have you been able to see this whole time?"
