Finding Freedom in ReleaseChapter 1
On Valentine's Day, my wife, Hailey Anderson, and her male secretary were both sent to the hospital.
The doctor said it was carbon monoxide poisoning. They were found naked and fainted in the car together.
Fortunately, the passers-by found them in time and saved their lives.
When I arrived at the hospital, I had a mixed feeling.
A message Hailey sent me an hour ago was still on my phone.
[Honey, I'll come home and spend Valentine's Day with you as soon as the meeting ends.
[Wait for me! I swear that I will give you an unforgettable surprise!]

"Sir, are you a relative of the patient?"
"Sir?"
I came back to my senses, took a deep breath, and said to the doctor, "I'm not her family member. I'm just an ordinary friend."
The doctor asked again, "Do you know any of her family?"
I wrote down Hailey's father's number and left the hospital.
When I got home, I buried myself on the sofa and smoked all night.
Hailey and I had known each other for nine years.
The first time we met was at the entrance ceremony of our college.
She was wearing a white dress and playing the piano on the stage.
She was as beautiful as an otherworldly fairy. She had won the hearts of many of her peers, including me.
I defeated all her pursuers and finally won her heart.
After graduating from college, we got married and became a couple envied by countless people.
I hid my identity as a rich second generation and used the funds given by my family to set up a company. I started from scratch with Hailey.
In just a few years, the business was booming.
However, the unexpected happened. I was diagnosed with a cardiac disease that I couldn't overwork myself. I could only let go of the company's affairs and stay at home to recuperate.
It was at this point that Mathew Rice appeared.
He was Hailey's high school classmate and was recruited as secretary.
After Mathew joined the company for three months, I keenly noticed a subtle change in Hailey.
She didn't have the habit of putting on makeup, but now she had to dress up carefully before going to work every day.
She had never liked to wear stockings and high heels, saying that the high heels made her uncomfortable. But now they became her daily necessities.
She even quietly changed her perfume.
