Scatter Our Broken Love Among the Stars

"There's still half a year left before the contract is up. I'm getting ready to file for a divorce from Steven."

As Celine Harlow speaks, she looks at the video which has been replayed on her iPad over a hundred times.

In the video, her husband, Steven Kirk, keeps staring at his childhood sweetheart, Quinn Lambert, lovingly.

"Oh, Quinn! I still can't forget about you at all! Will you please return to my side?"

After that, he takes the initiative to capture Quinn's lips in a kiss.

Meanwhile, Celine's son, Zane Kirk, whom she has risked her life giving birth to, keeps screaming at the top of his lungs, "Daddy, I want Quinn as my mommy!"

Celine's resolve to leave her marriage behind is steeled even more.

On the other end of the line, Steven's mother, Evelyn Kennedy, falls silent for a moment. She then advises Celine to think through her decision carefully.

"You have to think this through. If you get divorced, not only will you have to give up on your current job, but you also won't be able to obtain any assets because of the contract."

Celine doesn't hesitate at all. "I know. Since our marriage certificate is fake, I'll definitely get divorced without asking for a single cent. Don't worry."

But Evelyn tries to get Celine to stay. "If you insist on getting a divorce, you won't get the custody over Zane. Are you sure you have the heart to never see him again?"

"I know you love Steven. With the child here, sooner or later, he'll turn his attention to you."

Even Evelyn Kennedy, Steven Kirk's mother, who rarely saw her, knew that Celine Harlow was hopelessly in love with Steven. Yet Steven remained convinced that Celine was a calculating woman who only wanted to marry into a wealthy family for the glory and status.

Bitterness spread through Celine's chest, but she kept her voice steady. "Zane carries the Kirk family blood. I trust that you and Steven won't mistreat him, so when I leave this time, I never plan to come back."

"Very well. I'll arrange for your departure according to our agreement."

Receiving the definitive answer, Celine finally let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, though the ache in her chest refused to fade. Her relationship with Steven was nothing more than a cursed arrangement born from desperation five years ago.

Back then, Steven was head over heels for his sweetheart, Quinn Lambert. When Quinn suddenly married the head of a powerful Malvonian financial empire in a whirlwind wedding, Steven refused to believe she would abandon him.

He chased after her to Malvonia, only to be involved in a terrible car accident along the way. He spent a month in intensive care before finally regaining consciousness.

Evelyn forbade him from seeking out Quinn again and forced him to watch the video of her wedding ceremony.

The heartbreak sent Steven into a downward spiral. He drank himself senseless, raced cars recklessly,
