The game went on.
The auctioneer shouted, “Twelfth tomb, starting price-1.2 million!”
Then came the thirteenth, the fourteenth… all the way up to the two hundred and ninth. I bid on every one of them.
Maybe they got bored because someone suddenly brought up my most embarrassing memory.
“Remember when Giulia did a striptease for us? Man, her body was smoking hot!”
“If Giulia runs out of money and begs me on her knees, maybe I’ll be kind and forgive her.”
Salvatore just stood there, listening with a calm face.
He even ruffled Gabi’s hair and asked someone to bring her hot water to warm her hands.
It was like the person they were all laughing at was not even his wife.
To him, I was just some stranger.
I remembered exactly what they were mocking.

Right after I married Salvatore, Gabi told me the company was not doing well and needed me to do a striptease to lift everyone’s spirits-and I believed her.
So I tossed away my pride and self-respect like they meant nothing.
And all I got was Salvatore laughing and pinching Gabi’s nose, saying to her sweetly, “You cheeky girl.”
Later, he handed me two handbags, saying it was an apology on Gabi’s behalf.
However, Salvatore never even knew that I never liked handbags. Gabi did.
I dug my nails into my palms, trying not to cry out loud.
I took a deep breath and looked straight at Salvatore, determined to get an answer.
“Salvatore, did you ever love me? Even for just a minute, did you really think of me as your wife?”
Salvatore lifted his eyes. His gaze was cold, and it told me everything. To him, I was only a wife by name.
I turned to look at the mountain full of graves.
I had no idea where my father’s urn was, and I also had no idea if his ashes were still whole.
All these years, I followed Salvatore, loved him, and always put him first.

Now I am tired.
Hatred started to rise in my heart. “Salvatore, after this is over, we’re getting a divorce.”

That one sentence cut off every path. Everyone understood that I was not going to use Salvatore’s money to cover
this.
“Is Giulia serious? Salvatore was just trying to appease Gabi. If she acts like this, things might turn ugly…” someone muttered.
“Giulia’s just a bumpkin. If it weren’t for Salvatore, she probably wouldn’t even know what the unlimited bidding is!”
“The only one here who could actually pay this kind of money is Salvatore.”
Everyone’s curiosity was piqued.
They all wanted to see how I would dig myself out of the hole I’d just jumped into.
