Love's Withering, Life's Countdown

Summary

The year my boyfriend is dead broke, I leave him. Later, he becomes a mafia boss and uses every means at his disposal to marry me.

Everyone says that I am the first love he can never forget, the wife he cares about the most. However, he then starts bringing home a different woman every night, making me a laughingstock.

Still, I don't cry or make a fuss. I quietly stay in my own room, never interrupting his affairs.

Elton Carter is furious. He pins me beneath him, kisses me harshly, and growls, "Aren't you jealous?"

He has no idea that I'm gravely ill.
