Please Let Me Go, My Contracted Ex-Husband.

He married the daughter of the Lancaster family purely for revenge. He expected her to be obedient and submissive, not to resist or show emotions—a perfect pawn in his plan for vengeance. However, when his gaze locked onto the third daughter of the Lancaster family, the one who barged into the living room was her—disheveled and stained with blood. She seemed ordinary, but beneath the surface, she hid an unknown sharpness. "Do you love me?" he asked coldly. "You're crazy!" she rolled her eyes in disdain. In that moment, he smiled with satisfaction, believing he had everything under control. But she fought back. Marrying him was merely one step in her own plan. Four years later, with the Lancaster family completely destroyed, she threw the divorce papers in his face, smiling like the final victor: "Albert Wilson, have you finished using me? Thank you for making me think I once loved you. Now, never see me again, even in death." Just as she turned to leave in triumph, she accidentally walked into a gang's arms deal, and an explosion forever separated her from him. It was only when he found the two-month pregnancy test result among her belongings that he realized he had lost the only salvation of his life.

Chapter 14-Rest, my girl

Cynthia, who had fled in haste, held herself tightly as she dashed out of the hotel and then wandered aimlessly along the wide street. Her mind was a tangled mess of chaotic emotions.

Eventually, she hailed a cab to the orphanage—a place that, to her, was a refuge, a warm harbor to rest in. Although she had a home and was part of the powerful Lancaster empire, a family renowned for its wealth and influence, it was, for her, nothing more than an empty facade.

When she was five, her mother had taken her own life, and Cynthia was sent to the orphanage for three years. There, she met Marc and many other children whose fates were even more tragic than her own. Together, they supported one another, bound by shared hardships and companionship. Though life was difficult, it was warm, and those three years shaped her, tempering her spirit to be as resilient as iron.
