Chapter 2

Author: Perfect Timing
On the first day I got home, Ivana and Edward wanted to give me a surprise. They told me they wanted to take good care of me, but one of them was wearing my dress while the other had his hand under her dress.

That was only the first day I was home.

When I realized Edward and Ivana were cheating right in front of me, I remained silent about it. I quietly turned on the surveillance cameras in the villa and pretended nothing was going on as I enjoyed their 'care' for me.

What I did not expect was the person who hurt me the most turned out to be my son, Evan.

He was Edward's son, indeed. They had the same taste in people. Evan not only helped to cover up for his father, but he even put sleeping pills into my milk and served it to me.

"Will Ivana always be my mom if I feed Mom this milk every day?"

I felt a chill down my spine when I heard Evan say those words while I stood hidden behind the door.

When Evan was born, I took care of him all on my own. It was because of him that I cut down my working hours and focused on my family instead.

Everything I gave him was the best. He had thousands of toys, and we went to the theme park whenever we had time. Everything he ate and used was the best.

Evan had a bad temper, but I had always patiently guided him until now. I never thought of hurting him even when he got mad and bit me until I bled.

Yet now…

"Have some milk, Mom."

He looked at me expectantly while holding the glass of drugged milk. He kept pushing me to drink it.

I was completely disappointed, but I pretended to be unaware of what he did and took a sip.

Evan left after that, happily bouncing away. He even gave me a reminder before he left the room, "Hurry up and finish the milk, Mom."

That was when I started to change my impression of this child. He was my biological son, but he was always nasty to me. He was even drugging me after I became 'blind' and would sometimes place small blades in my towel.

Whenever I disciplined him before, Edward used to berate me, saying that he was young and knew nothing. However, was that really true?

I could see disgust in Evan's eyes when he looked at me.

Children could never lie. Some children were indeed just immature, but some were born to be bad. I no longer wanted this son.

After coming to a decision, I spat out the milk. My eyes turned red as I watched Evan jump into Edward's and Ivana's arms. The smiles on Edward's and Ivana's faces hurt me deeply. However, the most chilling thing about this scene was what they said.

"She's just a blind woman. You never know when she'll die."

"I wouldn't have married her if she wasn't earning so much money."

"We'll be a family from now on. This is our home. Even Evan treats you like his mother…"

Both of them were caught up in their moment, looking as gleeful as ever. I witnessed all of it and proceeded to send the surveillance footage to my lawyer.

When I heard Ivana talking about wanting the villa, I could not help but laugh out of anger.

She was enamored with Edward's bragging and sold to the idea of having a wonderful life ahead after marrying him. Ivana had no idea that Edward had married into my family, the Lang family.

I began to look forward to how she would react when she found out the truth.

    "Time for dinner, Summer." When Ivana helped me to the dinner table, Edward and Evan were chomping on steak and lobster. Their mouths were greasy as they ate their food.A few plates of vegetables were placed in front of me. Ivana even opened a bottle of expensive wine in front of them."Oh, gosh. I spilled some wine. It reeks of alcohol here now."She was wearing a jeweled ring on her finger as she waved it around. She had a fake smile on her face as she pressed me down into my seat. Ivana then put vegetables onto my plate."The doctor said you have to eat clean. I made a full vegetarian meal today." Full vegetarian?There was lobster and beef on the other side of the table while chicken noodle soup was simmering in the kitchen. How could she tell me this was a full vegetarian meal?Evan was confident I had no say in his diet. He chewed loudly and even gulped down big mouthfuls of beef in front of me on purpose. As he reached out for the lobster, he spoke with his mouth full

    I sent out a message and waited at the door. There was no point in tolerating it any longer. I wanted them out of the villa today.About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the villa's door.A group of men appeared at the door. I smiled when I saw my lawyer following behind them. I waved them in, and everyone entered the villa."The room on the second floor, the child's room, and the closet. Throw out anything that belongs to a man or a child. Also, move everything out of the guest room and that room. Leave everything of value behind. They're stolen goods."Immediately, clanging was heard everywhere. I rubbed my chin and gave another specific instruction, "Do something about the lock. Those three aren't allowed back in here."…The first to return home was Evan."Open the door, Mom. Why did you close the door? Open up and let me in. I want to play video games. I want to play my video games!"Evan was slamming hard on the door when the housekeeper was preparing my dinner."Op

    Edward went pale, but his face quickly turned red.When he realized he had been tricked, he wanted to coax me, but this time, I did not give him a chance to say anything.I slapped Edward hard and then flung the divorce papers the lawyer gave to me hard on his face. "Take your mistress and your lousy son with you and get out of here! These are our divorce papers. Get out of my house right now!"The atmosphere suddenly turned silent with everyone keeping their mouth shut. A second later, Edward stammered as he gripped hard on the divorce papers. "W-What are you talking about? Divorce?!"His tone turned shrill at the last word. Ivana's eyes brightened while Evan said nothing. They looked on expectantly as Edward's voice became louder. "Impossible! I won't agree to this!"Before Ivana could react, Edward knelt in front of me. "This is my fault, Summer. I don't want a divorce! I'll break up with her right now!""What are you talking about, Edward? You should kick her out and show h

    Everything used by the three of them was thrown out. Anything left outside after a night was taken to the dump as per my instructions.Edward refused to give up, however. He stood outside the door cursing even after it was closed. "I'm still your husband by law, Summer Lang! How dare you treat me this way?! It was just a minor mistake on my part. You were the one who lied to me first. That's why I…"What else do you want me to do?! I've already apologized! You're a mother. Think about our son…"At the mention of our son, the look in my eyes turned cold.An image of Evan calling someone else 'Mom' and feeding me sleeping pills appeared in my mind. I laughed and called the teacher of his special interests classes. I canceled all of them and even canceled the preorder of his branded clothes.If he liked calling another woman his mother so much, I might as well make his wish come true.While the cursing continued outside the door, I turned on my computer and buried myself in work.

Can't you figure something out?"Edward's cheek twitched when he heard Ivana's complaint. For the first time, he got mad at her."What else can I do?! How could I have known that Summer was pretending to be blind? You were the one who couldn't wait to move in, and that's how she found out about us! Why couldn't you have just taken things slow? If you had just tolerated it…"If she had continued tolerating her situation, she would have been a mistress her entire life as Edward wanted.Ivana felt a chill in her heart. She looked at Edward with reddened eyes and spoke up, "Is there really nothing we can do? Are we ruined?
