In the final months of her life, Claire Mist became Nathan Sterling's lover. They clung to each other day and night, making love frantically at home, in the office, and even in the car. Just as she thought she would die by his side, she stumbled upon a marriage certificate hidden in his safe. Staring at Nathan's name on the document in disbelief, Claire felt a wave of dizziness crash over her. After a long moment, she clutched the certificate tightly and rushed out of the house. Even with the truth staring her in the face, she refused to believe it. She needed to get answers from Nathan's buddies. Soon, Claire arrived at the club where they often gathered. She was about to burst in when she spotted Nathan, but she had personally seen him off on a business trip just two hours earlier. Claire let out a bitter laugh; she thought she might as well ask Nathan himself. But just as she was about to step inside, one of his friends' voices rang out. "Nathan, now that Emily's back, when are you gonna dump Claire?" "We all know Emily's stuck by you through thick and thin all these years. Don't be an idiot over a mistress." Claire froze. The last flicker of hope in her heart plummeted to the depths in an instant. So she'd been nothing but a fool—a pawn Nathan could discard at any moment. And everyone had known it except her.
