Watching Her Marrying Someone Else in His Last Breath Chapter 1

Third Person's POV

In the elite circles of Manchester, United Kingdom, everyone knew Edmond Warner, the tech mogul, adored his wife, Haven Curtis, with a passion that bordered on obsession. To outsiders, their marriage seemed perfect, but there was an unspoken rule in Edmond's world: no matter how much he sought thrills with other women, none of them were ever allowed to cross paths with Haven.

Edmond lived a double life, which the public didn't know much of. He spent the nights for indulgence, filled with fleeting affairs, but always returned home to Haven, whispering sweet promises of eternal love. In his mind, he had it all under control. He believed his charm and careful planning would keep Haven blissfully unaware of his betrayals.

But he was wrong.

On their wedding anniversary, a young apprentice arrived at his door with devastating news: Haven’s ashes.

Unbeknownst to Edmond, Haven had faked her death to escape his world entirely. And to twist the knife deeper, she had already remarried—the crown prince of the United Kingdom. The revelation left Edmond pale, shattered, and facing the wreckage of his so-called perfect life.

——

“Miss Curtis, the arrangements for your staged death are finalized. The official date is set for next month—exactly on your wedding anniversary with Mr. Warner. The cause of death will be reported as a car fire, with both you and your daughter, Leigh Curtis, listed as casualties. Once the contract takes effect, all traces of your lives will be erased. If you’re certain, please sign here.”

Without hesitation, Haven picked up the pen and signed. “Thank you,” she said, her voice calm but resolute.

Curiosity getting the best out of her, the female junior apprentice asked, “Miss Curtis, if you don’t mind me asking… what pushed you to do this?”

Haven looked at her, the faintest flicker of emotion crossing her face. “Edmond and I… we truly loved each other once. Deeply, for many years. We even have a daughter—a smart, well-behaved little girl.”

The junior apprentice, who had heard countless stories about their romance during her training, felt indignation swell in her chest on Haven’s behalf. “And what happened next?”

Haven paused, her hand faltering as memories resurfaced.

The world had once known Edmond Warner as a man completely devoted to his wife. At 17, he began pursuing Haven with unwavering determination, a chase that lasted seven years. By the time he was 27, he had won her heart, and the two married. This year marked their fourth wedding anniversary.

Edmond was a rising star in the tech world, and his love for Haven wasn’t just personal—it was public. He’d even named a newly discovered asteroid after her: Haven’s Serenity. It was his poetic way of wishing her peace and tranquility for the rest of her life.

The world ate it up. His grand declaration of love, published in a prestigious scientific journal, sparked international headlines. Domestic and foreign media hailed their story as the epitome of romance, and Edmond became a symbol of love-struck genius.

The junior apprentice sighed frustratingly as she recalled, “I heard that when you were pregnant, Mr. Warner stayed up all night to make sure you didn’t get leg cramps. They say you didn’t even have morning sickness, but he was the one throwing up every day. Everyone believed back then that it happened because he loves you so bad.”

Listening to the latter, Haven suddenly remembered what the junior apprentice's boyfriend, a doctor at the hospital where she gave birth, had once told her. “I still can't believe that the man who never showed a flicker of emotion in public would cry like a helpless child while listening to your painful screams.”

As the two women spoke, Haven’s eyes turned red. After all, these weren’t just stories to her—they were memories.

She had truly felt Edmond's fiery, passionate love.

When he pursued her, it was earth-shattering. He sat with her through classes, stood by her at her mother’s funeral, and supported her as she confronted her father, who had abandoned his first wife to remarry. After their wedding, Edmond even treated Haven like a queen, and no matter how many women tried to seduce him, he remained indifferent.

Even so, Haven had still given their daughter her own surname, Curtis, as a quiet safeguard.
