The gentle tune of the alarm cut through the early morning silence in the room. The man on the silk sheets draped under the blanket woke up with a soft groan.

After stretching his arms, he got up and walked to the bathroom to freshen up only to find that something wasn't right.

He was now fully awake. He was wearing a silk pajama, standing in the middle of a bathroom three times bigger than the one in his one-room flat.

Where am I?

He began looking around and then heard a small 'ding' like a notification.

[Hello Host, I am the System. You have been transmigrated into a novel.]

A novel?

Oh?

Oh!

Now he remembered. He was reading a novel, where the protagonist was treated badly by the one whom he loved and later driven to insanity and ultimately to an untimely death.

[You are free to work this out as you like. There are no restrictions except to not let anyone know about your reality or there could be extreme dangers.]

"Okay. Got it. Thank you."

[The novel has been downloaded on your phone for reference. Have a good time Host. Goodbye.]

There was that same 'ding' sound and then the haze was cleared out.

August quickly gathered himself. Though it was his first time being transmigrated into a novel, he wasn't afraid.

In his previous life, he was a police officer. And the reason of his death was very noble and everyone felt bad for his death. He was on the Captain of his team, leading them to free up 20 children from the human trafficking racket.

He saved all the children and when they were about leave, he realized that three of his teammates had been held by the racket members.

He quickly jumped in and started fighting and firing simultaneously. Once his mates were free, they were all running when he was shot in his chest from the back and the bullet has passed his heart.

He died on spot, no lingering, no struggling. His death turned out to be the biggest lost of the Police Team.

Where they should have been celebrating the freedom of the 20 children, the entire city was plunged into sorrow mourning the death of their beloved officer who was not only brave and smart, but also very kind and generous.

August loved children a lot, and it was known throughout the city. He was always present at any kids' activities which needed police protection. Not just that, he actively participated in programs where they especially invited him knowing his love for the children. And children took a liking to him as well.

In this new life, he was living the original owner's life. And he would do justice by him no matter what.

So the first thing he decided to do was divorce the asshole of his husband and move out.

Call it a co-incidence or a gift of fate, the original owner was a teacher at the kid's school and nursery. And given August's love for kids, he decided to continue the job. It paid him well and most importantly, he loved his job.

He walked out of the bathroom and changed into a gym clothes. He picked up a towel and wrapped around his neck and then out of the room.

He walked into the kitchen, filled up a water bottle and then came to the living room. He changed into running shoes, put his ear pods on, turned on the music and then left the house.

August, as the special forces team's Captain, was very strict with his daily routine, which included running, push-ups and so on. A whole two hours of workout routine was set for him. Then he would move on to the team's training.

And now, he decided to continue it here as well. He ran for good 7 miles and then back to home.

As he entered the house wiping the sweat on his face and neck, his shirt was sticking to his body showing his well toned body.

Yes, the original owner also believed in having good health routine, so it wasn't a shock.

August had liked this protagonist because they had so many things similar between them. They even shared the same names. August mentally smiled.

He looked up and saw his husband looking at him with a visible shock on his face.

"Are you done drooling?" August asked with an indifferent tone causing the so-called husband to be more shocked.

The person just scoffed and was about to leave when August decided to stop him and put his plan in action.

"Finn, I want a divorce." August spoke making the man stop in his tracks.

Finn slowly turned back to face his husband and looked at him with confusion on his face.

"What did you say?" Finn asked him, his initial shock wasn't really gone, and now his silly husband of his had shocked him for the second time.

"I said I want a divorce. Get the documents ready by tomorrow and leave them on the dinning table. I will sign them and then send them to your office. The sooner this happens the better. Then you can live happily with your lover." August spoke without any sign of hurt or depression.

His words with an indifferent attitude really stunned his husband. Finn opened his mouth to speak when August raised his hand and stopped him.

"One more thing, I will be moving out of this place by tomorrow. Also, I don't need any alimony or support or whatever the fuck they do after the divorce. Instead, I will need you to pay for the cost of the apartment I will find by tonight. I haven't checked any apartments or prices yet, I will let you know soon as possible. That will be it. You can continue whatever that you were doing." August put forward his conditions and left without looking back.

Finn, on the other hand, stood there, shocked and stunned. He didn't know what happened, and it took him a second to understand that his usually quiet and meek husband had actually asked him for a divorce.

"Master, breakfast is ready." One of the maids reminded him, bringing him back to the present.

"Yeah, set it up." He ordered and left to go to his room to change.

Meanwhile,

August quickly showered and changed into brown pants, a dark green turtle-neck with a brown trench coat. He wore his shoes and then came down for breakfast with his bag.

Fin was at the table having breakfast. He was once again stunned by the way August had dressed up. But this time it wasn't just him. It was all the maids and the servants too.

August didn't mind and had his breakfast quietly. Once he was done, he looked up at his soon-to-be ex-husband and smiled.

"Don't forget about the divorce papers." He reminded Finn and then left the house.

Once he was out and in his car, only then he relaxed.

"Fuck, it was so hard." He cursed, but then his lips curled, and a small smile graced his lips.

"My little kittens and puppies, your guardian angel is on the way." August smiled and drove away.
