There are many ways this could end. One, I could run, abandon everything, leave my family to face the consequences alone.
Or two, I could stay, face the trial, go to jail. With Neils‘ help and his ruthless legal tactics, I might serve a reduced sentence and eventually return to my life. I know I could rebuild. I’ve done it before.
But the first option is impossible. If I fled, my family would be the first ones grabbed. There’s no way in hell Neils would let anyone lay a hand on his wife. I know exactly how much Ranta means to him now.
Gulping down that bitter reality, I chose the second path. Time was already ticking away.
Every second felt unbearably precious; every breath I took as a free man suddenly tasted expensive, like something I might never taste again.
The court trial loomed closer. I knew that bastard Eshan would come at me with full force, but White & Co. Law Firm had prepared just as fiercely.
“Oh, they’re here! They’re here!!” The reporters‘ excited shouts yanked me back to the present. I fixed my gaze on the red carpet.
In the last few days, my eyes had seen and my ears had heard things I still didn’t want to believe because they sounded absurd.
Snowflakes and Cupid Godlike had thrown themselves into the charity coordination. Every photo they sent back as proof of successful donations burned straight through my chest with jealousy.
Snow smiled so freely these days, radiant and unguarded. And always beside her stood Cupid Godlike, looking at her as though she were the only woman left in the world.
That look had always unsettled me. Tonight, at the closing donation ceremony, I had come here to tell her exactly what our future would be together.
The line of luxurious cars rolled in slowly, drawing gasps and awed murmurs from the crowd. They arrived almost like a couple rather than mere coordinators representing the human region and werewolf territory.
Cupid Godlike stepped out first. A man rumored to have been adopted from the dirtiest corner of existence, yet he looked every inch the kind of man the world envied.
He is tall, commanding, effortlessly magnetic. Tonight he wore casual clothes, but even that couldn’t dim how ridiculously handsome he was. Just like the last time I’d seen him up close, I had no choice but to set my jaw against the surge of envy.
Cameras flashed wildly under my watchful stare, nearly blinding me. The reporters surged forward in restless waves when Cupid moved to the passenger door and opened it for Snow.
I was shoved aside as they fought for the best angle. I swallowed the humiliation, tasting it sharp and metallic.
The fat, wide target she’d once been, mocked, ridiculed had flipped into praise.
Ever since Cupid began appearing publicly with her, adoration had followed her everywhere. After winning her case, the world loved her for her strength, her resilience, her unshakeable confidence. And now… I wanted her back. Because only now did I realize how much I loved this version of her. Strong, standing tall, unbreakable.

Under the night sky, she stepped out in a flowing red dress that caught the lights like liquid fire.

A wide, genuine smile lit her face as she alighted, letting Cupid take her hand. Together they walked toward the entrance, heads close, steps perfectly in sync.
They looked far too intimate. The public had already started shipping them hard. My jaw clenched tighter as I watched them stroll inside, where the speeches were supposed to have already begun.
Swallowing the bile rising at being ignored, again, I followed.
Yenda Godlike stood sharp in his tailored suit, steady and in charge as always.
As the closing of the donation event, he delivered a speech of thanks to the public, praising them for making the entire effort a resounding success.
I sat rigid, expecting to be called to the podium at any moment. Instead, he invited the coordinators forward. Snow rose gracefully and walked up.
I knew why I hadn’t been summoned. My mere presence here was already a calculated risk to the Godlike legal empire.
They only tolerated me because our partnership had sunk too deep to pull out now without consequences.
Snow reached the podium to a storm of cheers and shout–outs. She grinned, bright and happy, her eyes finding Cupid in the crowd with open pride. Then she began her speech.
“First, I want to give the real thank–you, a huge one to the great Alpha who, every year, gives so generously from what the Moon Goddess has blessed him with. Alpha Ruis Godlike.
“Thank you so much, sir, for your kindness, your good heart, and your love. None of this would have begun, let alone succeeded, without you p>
The room erupted in applause.
“Second, to every member who took part in the charity work, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
“You made it so much easier for me as coordinator and for my partner to pull everything together.
“To the public who cheered us on constantly, we appreciate your kind words, your feedback, your support more than you know p>
She paused, smile softening.
“Lastly… I want to thank my partner, Cupid Godlike. Sorry, he won’t come up here but he says he has good intentions p>
Laughter rippled through the audience. Snow grinned wider and glanced at him. He winked back, quiet and private.
“Thank you all. And really… Happy New Year p>
