The marriage between Joslyn and Kade was a union of two prominent families in the city, but it also hid her deep, unrequited love. Five years ago, she believed that Kade had lost his sexual function due to a car accident while saving her, so she willingly accepted a platonic marriage. She even continuously invested the profits of the her family into the his family to ease her guilt. It wasn't until a chance encounter that she discovered Kade's affair with his childhood sweetheart, Scarlett, that she realized the so-called "secret illness" was all a lie. Kade had not only fully recovered but had been spiking her drinks with sleeping pills for a long time. Moreover, due to a misunderstanding from when she returned from being taken away by her uncle-mistakenly deemed as being from a "place of ill repute"-he considered her "dirty" and deliberately kept his distance. More cruelly, the car accident back then was not to save her but because Kade was on his way to pick up Scarlett at the airport. The series of betrayals and schemes finally awakened Joslyn. Under constant threat from Kade and Scarlett, she faced numerous dangers-from being pushed in front of a knife, undergoing skin grafts, to nearly falling off a cliff due to tampered brakes. Ultimately, she decided to sever ties with the past and, with her uncle's assistance, went abroad. Overseas, Joslyn found her true self, pursued a PhD in finance, and took over her family business. Unexpectedly, she encountered Kade again while dealing with gangsters. Kade, now truly remorseful, did everything to protect her from the gang, even sacrificing the his family's interests, yet it couldn't undo the past wounds. Meanwhile, Kade's half-brother, Nicolas, allied with Scarlett to disrupt the family inheritance. In the end, both Nicolas and Kade perished in an explosion. Years later, Joslyn became a CEO. She let go of past love and hatred, established a foundation to support African communities in accordance with Kade's last wish, and shifted her life's focus to greater love and responsibility, embarking on a new chapter truly her own.

Her Love for him was Gone Forever Chapter 1

Five years ago, during the accident that saved Joslyn's life, Kade suffered injuries that left him unable to be intimate.

Whenever they were alone, Joslyn would try to rekindle their connection, seeking comfort in gentle embraces and quiet affection. They spent quiet evenings together-in the living room, the garden, even the hallway-searching for any trace of the connection they once shared.

Yet, no matter how gently she reached for him or how patiently she waited, Kade remained distant-his body unresponsive, his eyes full of sorrow.

Joslyn couldn't bear to meet Kade's regretful and self-blaming gaze.

She suggested they sleep in separate rooms-and quietly accepted that their marriage might never be what she once dreamed of.

However, Kade refused to give up. He held Joslyn's hand and vowed that he would persevere with the treatment for the sake of her happiness in the rest of her life, even though there was only a faint hope.

Kade was supposed to have a check-up that day.

Joslyn, as usual, waited for him in the underground parking lot, but she accidentally found his medical report left in the car.

On a whim, she picked up the report and suddenly noticed a familiar name in the attending physician's column.

It was Scarlett Stevens...

Tracing the elegant handwriting with her fingers, Joslyn felt a mix of emotions.

Scarlett was Kade's childhood sweetheart, whom he couldn't have when he was young.

If Scarlett hadn't insisted on studying abroad back then, Joslyn might not have had her chance of getting married to Kade.

For some reason, Joslyn suddenly felt nervous when she saw the name of her former rival in love.

Lost in thought, she was already making her way upstairs, medical records in hand.

The hallway was silent except for faint, intimate voices coming from the only room with light under the door. Embarrassed, Joslyn turned to leave-she had no wish to intrude on someone else's private moment.

But she suddenly stopped walking as she heard a familiar name mentioned.

"Kade, you keep using this excuse of a doctor's appointment to see me. Aren't you afraid Joslyn might follow you one day?" Scarlett teased Kade with a hint of jealousy.

Joslyn bit her lip hard enough to taste blood in her mouth. She stiffly peered through the crack in the door.

In the dim light, Kade held Scarlett close, their silhouettes entwined in an intimate embrace that left no doubt about their betrayal.

The scene struck Joslyn like lightning.

What was going on?

Kade hadn't lost that ability at all. Had he been deceiving her all along?

The successive shocks left Joslyn dizzy, but what Kade said next nearly caused Joslyn to collapse to the floor.

"Why should I be afraid?" Kade replied coldly. "I've been drugging her milk for years to keep her asleep. And honestly... part of me hopes she finds out."

Milk... sleeping pills...

Joslyn closed her eyes and struggled to hold back her tears.

Since Kade had scheduled check-ups two years ago, Kade had always handed her a bottle of milk. He told her to have a good rest in the car after having some milk, as he didn't want to keep her from getting bored while waiting for him.

Although she hated the taste of milk, she drank it all as she thought it was Kade's love for her.

But it felt like a slap in her face after she heard the truth.

If she hadn't brought him the medical report today and forgotten to drink the milk, she might have been completely fooled by that deceitful pair.

"But I still don't understand-why go to such lengths? Pretending you're broken, avoiding her completely... only to come to me like this. Why?" Scarlett's voice pulled Joslyn back to the moment, and she stared at Kade-his expression intense, almost unrecognizable-as if seeing a stranger.

Joslyn knew Kade well-and couldn't believe he'd shut her out so completely for all these years.

She clenched her fists, and her nails nearly dug into her palms. She held her breath and waited for Kade's answer. She desperately wanted to know why he lied to her.

"Because she's... tainted," Kade finally said, his voice hollow. "It's not that I'm incapable-I just can't stand the thought of being with her. After what happened back then, the very idea makes me sick. With you, Scarlett... I feel whole again. You're the only one I want."

Joslyn's face instantly turned ashen outside the door.

Now she totally understood why Kade's eyes held some emotion that she couldn't comprehend since she returned from the kidnappers' den.

He had been misunderstanding her all along.

Joslyn felt the urge to explain everything to Kade at that moment.

The incident back then was just a misunderstanding, and she had her reasons.

But Scarlett's next words made Joslyn feel like a ridiculous clown.

"You're so ruthless. You refuse to explain things to her and let her live in guilt every day. She must think the car accident, which caused you to be impotent back then, happened due to her. But she never knew that you weren't going to save her that day and that you were just rushing to the airport to pick me up." Scarlett's laughter was like a heavy hammer pounding on Joslyn's heart.

"So what? I always want to marry you. Even if she knows the truth, she won't leave me. Besides, I've used her guilt to make her invest all of Palmer Group's profits into the Lloyd Group. I am killing two birds with one stone."

Joslyn heard no more. She didn't have the strength to.

She stormed out of the hospital, and her chest was nearly splitting from the cold air.

She felt so much pain.

For five years, she had been selflessly devoted to Kade. She was filled only with pity and guilt for him.

She had always blamed his condition on herself.

If it were not for accidentally uncovering their affair today, she would never have realized that the man she loved was nothing but a hypocritical scoundrel.

She trembled all over as she struggled to hold onto her phone. It nearly dropped to the ground several times.

After a long while, she finally gathered the courage to dial that international number.

While it was ringing, she remembered how the kidnappers took her away back then.

Her marriage to Kade was an alliance between two major business families in the city. And it was also because she loved him so much, although he didn't love her.

But after her parents passed away, the Lloyd Group gradually grew stronger than the Palmer Group. And the former even seemed to take over the latter.

Joslyn's uncle, Davin Palmer, had no choice but to move the family's businesses overseas and intended to expand the market there.

In aristocratic families, there was no room for true affection. Davin never thought of Kade as a faithful partner. He believed that it wouldn't be good for her to be with Kade, so Davin advised Joslyn to join him abroad.

But Joslyn stubbornly refused Davin. The latter forced her to get into the airport and head for the airport.

Joslyn hurriedly messaged Kade and asked him to rescue her.

She always believed that Kade had the car accident because he was in a hurry to save her.

Upon hearing the news, she ignored Davin's words and desperately got out of the car to rush back. In her haste, she tumbled down a slope and got disheveled. So the media spread rumors that she had been kidnapped and raped.

She was afraid that Kade would do something bad to Davin after Kade learned that the Palmer family's assets had been moved overseas, so she didn't explain the truth to Kade. She only wished that he believed she wasn't raped.

Kade soon suppressed the media rumors and assured her that he had everything under control.

At that time, Joslyn thought Kade had some affection for her.

But Kade's true concern was always the Palmer family's wealth. And he always loved Scarlett.

He only had suspicion for Joslyn.

During their marriage, only Joslyn fell in love.

"Davin, I've made up my mind. I want to go overseas and take over my parents' business," Joslyn said without hesitation as soon as the call connected.

"Alright, Joslyn. Don't worry. I'll arrange everything for you. Your passport and all the necessary documents will be ready in two weeks."

Joslyn felt both guilt and relief. Her stupid behavior had cost her family and friends. Thankfully, Davin hadn't given up on her and still gave her a way out.

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.
