After Lukas left, I took down the wedding photo in the bedroom.
Married for seven years, Lukas and I only had one thing together, a wedding photo, How ridiculous.
In the photo, Lukas had a stiff smile, and there was a distance between us.
When taking this wedding photo back then, it was taken many times.
I heard the photographer joking with the staff privately.
“Was this during the wedding photoshoot? The groom had a stern face throughout, refusing to get close to the bride. If he didn’t want to get married, then why did he?”
That was the only photo of Lukas and me, with a smile on his face.
Lukas didn’t like it.
I hung it on the wall, he took it down, and I hung it up again.
Later, he couldn’t figure it out and followed me as well.
I took the photo out of the frame, and suddenly Lukas’s voice came from behind me.
“Weren’t you the one who treasured this photo the most? Did you manage to take it down?”
In the past, at this time, Lukas used to stay at other women’s places and rarely came back.
At that moment, he was smoking a cigar, casting a sidelong glance at me by the door.
I remembered the first year after marriage, when I went to a hotel for the first time to catch a
cheating spouse.
I scratched her face.
Lukas also stood by the door in the same way, with a casual look in his eyes.
“You kept on catching, without this one, there’s always the next one…”
I used to be most afraid of Lukas like this. No matter what I did, he always had the appearance of a bystander, making me feel like a jumping clown.
But now, I didn’t care anymore.
I ignored Lukas and took several pieces of clean clothes out of the wardrobe, and put them into the
suitcase.

Lukas couldn’t stand anymore and came over to grab my hand.
“Where did you want to go?”
There was a barely noticeable panic in his voice,
My bandaged wrist oozed blood.
“I was in a bad mood and wanted to go on a trip with my best friend Emilia Evett for a few days”
Lukas finally let go.
In the evening, Lukas moved back to the bedroom from the living room, saying it was to make up
for injuring me.
I threw his bedding and pillow out.
“Go find Renee, I don’t care about your concern!”
Lukas’s face darkened, and a cold smile played at the corners of his lips.
“Kenley, can you stop it, please? Aren’t you just blaming me for not being intimate with you all these years? I will fulfill your wish now!”
He pinned me down on the bed and his hand reached under my nightgown.

“Lukas, you beast! Don’t touch me, I find it disgusting!”
I was overwhelmed by the scent of perfume on him, feeling dizzy and nauseous.
Lukas punched the pillow.
“Kenley, don’t regret it!”
He got up and slammed the door as he left.
In the late night, Lukas brought Renee back again.
I was half asleep when I heard the sound of a man’s heavy breathing coming from the study, mixed with a woman’s whimpering.
The study and the bedroom were separated by a wall.
Lukas was deliberate, he was punishing me in this way.

In the past, he used to bring women back, but he never had the habit of staying overnight,
The door of the study was not closed.
I stood at the door and saw two naked bodies entwined with each other, feeling a bit nauseous in my
stomach.
Lukas sized me up.
Seeing me calm, he became furious and threw a pillow at me.
“Get out!”
When I closed the door of the study, my heart still pricked a little.
I dragged my suitcase to Emilia’s house.
Two days later, I was about to leave.
Everything was about to end.
