    On the mahogany table, the divorce papers lay beneath the notice of the Su family's bankruptcy. I stared at the new ring on the man's ring finger, my throat tightening. How long ago was it that I stepped on his hand, calling him a "useless son-in-law," and poured champagne on his freshly ironed shirt? He would always silently clean up the mess, his dark eyes filled with a restrained forbearance I couldn't understand. Until he handed me the signed divorce papers, followed by reporters with cameras—I realized this meekness was a facade. Now he's a newly rich businessman, tapping my forehead with a pen between his fingers: "Ms. Su, sign. Your brother's gambling debts are wiped clean." The crystal chandelier reflected the cold light in his eyes, and I suddenly saw in that light the thorns I had planted myself. Outside the window, sycamore leaves covered the steps, much like the days and nights I had crushed, and he finally stood in the light, watching me struggle in the shadows.
