A Stab to the Heart novel

---- Chapter 5 On the day of Gideon and Miriam's wedding, I packed up all his things and mailed them to him. I then called Mrs. Miller. "Does your offer still stand?" She chuckled and replied, "Of course. You only need to take the money and leave for good. It'll be even better if you never come back again." Mrs. Miller soon transferred me the promised 10 million. With the money from Mrs. Miller and the five million left by Gideon that night, I boarded the plane toa foreign country.

Six months later, I received a call from Gideon when I was in a small town in Northern Ouria. He was beyond wasted as he repeated my name over and over again. "Please come back, Janice. I miss you so much." Iended the call and pretended nothing had happened. However , I suddenly received a text in the middle of the night. It read: "No. 80, Rhode Town. I'm coming to take you home." ---- Furious, I yanked out the SIM card. I then packed up and left in the middle of the night.

Gideon lost his temper after hearing that he had lost my whereabouts. He started cursing and yelling at his assistant, Henry Arland. However , his stomach started bleeding from all the alcohol he'd consumed the day before. He could only seethe with helpless rage. Gideon was throwing a glass at Henry when Miriam walked in. The glass landed a foot away from where she was standing, shattering into pieces. Miriam gestured for Henry to leave.

She then sat in the chair before Gideon, took out the agreement, and chucked it at him. "T don't care who you love deep down. Since the Millers and the Hoffmans are already bound by the marriage of convenience, you better play your part as the Hoffmans' son-in-law and sign the agreement!" she said. Gideon looked at the unfair terms on the contract and laughed. "Looks like I'm getting karmic retribution after all.

Listen up, Miriam-I'm done with this damn marriage of convenience." Miriam was stunned. She then threw the agreement ---- at his face and cursed, "Do you think you can just quit whenever you want? Why didn't you do that sooner? "Do you think you're the only one who lost the person they loved? I've lost the person I love too-all just to marry you! And now you're telling me you're quitting ? Not a chance!

I'll watch you regret this all your life!" Miriam hired bodyguards to beat Gideon up on the same day. He ended up spending six months in the hospital after that. However, their relationship had since fallen apart. In the end, Mrs. Miller had to shamelessly step in order for the marriage of convenience between the two families to be called off. I only found out about this a year later.

Gideon deliberately let the news slip that the Millers and the Hoffmans were at odds, and the news spread like wildfire. Even I caught wind of it while living in Southern Ouria. There were many versions of the story of why Gideon and Miriam got divorced, but most said that he couldn't let go of his past lover and took the initiative to ask for divorce. I knew that Gideon was the one who deliberately leaked this news. After all, I knew him better than
