She came in a hurry and left in a hurry. She didn’t bring me the cigarettes I’d been craving for so long. She only brought a blank contract for me to put my handprint on.
I asked her what it was. She said that since I was a prisoner, she felt uneasy and wanted to take over my crew, but she was in a rush and the transfer papers weren’t drafted yet. For convenience, she asked me to put my handprint on it in advance.
I didn’t think much of it.
Three years later, I found out that the handprint on that blank piece of paper, which held all my trust, had ultimately been stamped on my divorce papers.

How ridiculous.
I stared intently at Valentina before me.

In three years, I had grown much thinner. She, though pregnant, was still radiant.
“In that case, Valentina, we have no connection whatsoever from now on.”
With that, I tried to turn away, but Valentina let out a wail and clung tightly to my leg.
“Jaxson, no, listen to me!”
She trembled as she reached out, pointing at the bleeding Victor.
“He tricked me! He said he was the one who contacted all these important people to help me. I always thought he was protecting me, Jaxson. I never knew it was you all along…
I reluctantly pressed my lips together.
Valentina was indeed smart. Seeing them arrive, she knew it had always been my people secretly protecting and supporting her all
these years.
But what did it matter now?
If she had just asked me before getting rid of my child, things wouldn’t have come to this!
My chest felt even more stifled. I wanted to kick her away but held back because she was pregnant.
Noticing the hesitation on my face, Valentina’s heart lifted. She gripped my leg even tighter.
“Jaxson, you still care about me, don’t you?”
Her words made me stop moving.
Back then, my small crew was thriving, and Valentina, as my girlfriend, became increasingly proud.
