My ex-boyfriend, Jason Bell, still hasn't let go of me, even though I've been married to Cedric Mosley for two years now.
He sends blood-red dancing heels to me and threatens to destroy my current "peaceful life".
Terrified and trembling, I'm about to call the cops when a hand in latex gloves rests on my shoulder.
"Don't be afraid."
My forensic doctor husband, having just returned from an autopsy, carries a faint scent of formaldehyde with him.
He takes off his glasses. With the same hands he uses to handle scalpels, he slowly helps me open the threatening letter inside the package.
"The handwriting is sloppy, with uneven pressure applied. It's typical of an anxious personality type."
Then, as if he's reviewing an autopsy report, he comments mildly, "This type of person usually has brittle bones that snap easily."
*
There are 206 bones in an adult body.
When Cedric placed a “rib” ring on my finger, he whispered, “You are the bone I lost long ago—the one that makes me whole.”
That is the origin of this title. 
At the banquet, Dad decides to betroth me to Arthur Cullingham, the finance prodigy whom he has been supporting since the start.
At that time, I have no idea that Arthur's heart already belongs to someone else.
After that, Dad's company is found to be selling counterfeit products. This leads to the stock prices crashing immensely. Not only that, but Dad is also facing criminal charges.
Arthur quickly brings Celeste Snow, his first love, back into our home. He then tells me that he wants to give Celeste a proper title.
My mother-in-law, Rachel Anderson, berates me as well.
"Your family has filed for bankruptcy, not to mention you're an infertile loser! Why shouldn't my son marry another woman?"
Arthur pushes the divorce agreement in my direction. In a flippant tone, he says, "If you sign the agreement right now, I can still keep you around as long as you treat Celeste well."
Meanwhile, I've secretly booked a train ticket that'll take me far away from here.
Just seven more days, and I'll follow Dad southbound.

The traffic on the highway is at a standstill, and my two-month-old son, Benjamin Wagner, is wailing with hunger.
When I reach for the hypoallergenic formula I'd prepared, I find expired dog food instead. I begin scrambling for the formula, but my husband, Isaac Wagner, stops me.
"I gave the formula to Nancy because her dog's been having stomach issues lately. Just find something else to feed Benjamin for now. Nancy's dog cost 30 thousand dollars, so it deserves the two-thousand-dollar formula. Benjamin is a boy—he needs to learn to tough it out."
I yank my arm free from his grip and hiss, "Benjamin has severe allergies. He's reactive to over 200 substances and needs to drink the hypoallergenic formula. He's only two months old! He can't even handle solid food yet! You took his special formula to feed a dog. Do you want him to starve to death?"
Isaac frowns in annoyance. "Nancy's parents are gone. Rocky is the only family she has left. What's wrong with letting it have a little formula to ease its stomach? You're a mother. How can you be so heartless?"
I'm about to dash out of the car. "Is our son's life worth less than a dog's?"
Isaac slaps me and yells, "Our son will only grow strong if he experiences a little hunger and cold. It won't kill him to miss a few meals."
