She Never Touched Me, But Sold Me to the World

Everyone calls Lana Krause pure as the moon, and Byron pursued her with everything he had. Eight years of marriage, yet she never let their fingertips touch, claiming it would interfere with her spiritual cultivation. When her senior brother Wayne Tyler returned from abroad, everything changed at an auction over a Victorian amber brooch. Wayne stormed out and was in a car accident, losing his ability to have children. Lana blamed Byron.

At the next auction, Lana put Byron's private video up for sale, starting at one million. As the room laughed and Javier Mansfield bid three million, Byron signed for unlimited bidding and bought the disc himself. He asked for a divorce, but Lana sneered and struck him when he punched Wayne. His mother's jade pendant shattered on the floor, and Lana threw twenty thousand in his face.

At his mother's grave in the rain, Wayne appeared with a lighter and set the grass ablaze. Byron dove into the flames as Lana arrived, demanding to know if he had gone insane.
