Journal Entry 16
What kind of six years were my marriage to him?
I obeyed all his decisions.
Every word he said, I took to heart.
I didn’t complain when he couldn’t spend holidays with me. In contrast, everything I said to him, he would always put off or forget.

I wanted a child, but he avoided answering.
For six years, he couldn’t spare a few days to make up for our honeymoon.
I got sick, my fever soaring to 104 degrees, and he wasn’t there. I had to go to the hospital alone.
All my concessions, all my sacrifices, didn’t earn me his affection. They only earned me a divorce agreement.
And then, Celeste got pregnant.
She added me and sent me her prenatal diagnostic report.
It turned out he just didn’t want a child born by *me*.
I went crazy.
I tore up the divorce papers and the equity transfer agreement.
I didn’t want anything.
But I wouldn’t divorce him either.

My mind couldn’t stop for a moment.
Otherwise, I would overthink everything.
Fortunately, the department was working on a case.
So, I requested a transfer to field duty.
Here, I engaged in a constant chess match with criminals.
Our nerves were constantly
on
high alert.
I had no time left to think about personal matters.
In my life, there were two things I cherished most.
Julian and my profession.

But then, an accident happened.
“Julian, take this money. Use it.”
If I hadn’t taken that day off, he wouldn’t have died.
I was filled with immense self–reproach.
And I secretly swore.

“Julian, take this money. Use it.”
If I hadn’t taken that day off, he wouldn’t have died.
I was filled with immense self–reproach.
And I secretly swore.
I would personally apprehend that group.

Just before the capture operation,
We all realized it would be a fierce battle.
The moment the mission orders came down,
I wrote down my property distribution.
My personal assets–the eight hundred thousand dollars on my card and my six years of savings–were for Arthur’s child; my survivor’s benefits after sacrifice were for my parents.
Finally, I would divorce Julian.
The man I once loved to my core.
Yet, when divorcing him, my heart was calm as still water.
All love and hate were gone.
*Jotted down in the taxi, heading back to duty.*
My journal stops here for now.
If I come back,
I’ll continue writing.
Four years later, the Northwood City Police Department cracked another major cyber fraud case, bringing all perpetrators to justice.
Notably, this was a massive scam that had targeted a large corporation, attempting to embezzle hundreds of millions in funds.
Fortunately, the CEO of the company, after detecting the scheme, promptly contacted our police force and cooperated with us to dismantle the criminal syndicate.
Tragically, the CEO who assisted us, Mr. Hayes, was discovered by the criminals and brutally murdered.
