Plot Twists
A few days before my postpartum period ended, I found two plane tickets to Mirelia tucked inside Daryl’s wallet. I was secretly delighted. I thought he had planned a surprise for me. But on the very day I was supposed to recover, he told me that his company had suddenly sent him on a business trip. I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep—only to see his first love post on social media. [Finally fulfilled our promise to kiss at Saint Vyron Cathedral. Thank you, God. After all this time, it’s still you.] The photo showed the two of them holding hands and kissing. I didn’t confront him right away. Instead, I turned to look at my sleeping daughter beside me, then picked up my phone. [Dad, I've made up my mind. I'll take over the family business.]

After arriving in Mirelia, I focused all my attention on work and hired an experienced nanny to take care of Jennifer's daily needs.I suddenly realized that a man could be more unreliable than a complete stranger.The nanny took such great care of Jennifer. Every time I thought about Daryl's behavior, I couldn't help but feel both amused and heartbroken.Just as I thought life was settling into a routine, Daryl showed up.He stood at my door in messy clothes and a face full of stubble.I was shocked—he was supposed to be mending things with Madison during this time. I didn't expect him to show up on my doorstep.When Daryl saw me, he wasted no time in rushing forward and hugging me."Natalie! I found you! I finally found you! Please, just hear me out!"I only had one drink at Madison's place, and then… I don't remember anything! I swear I'm innocent! You can't just take Madison's word for everything and condemn me! I love you! You're the only one in my heart! Please, Natalie,

Jennifer wasn't feeling well today and had thrown up. As I contacted the doctor and flipped through medical books, Daryl was also busy, gently comforting and holding her."Natalie, you've been through a lot. I used to think taking care of a baby wasn't that hard, but I never realized how complicated it actually is."I promise, I'll do everything I can to protect you and Jennifer. You won't have to suffer another moment of hardship."Just then, Daryl's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, his face flickering with guilt before he quickly ended the call.I suspected it was probably Madison calling.After he hung up, the phone rang again.I carefully took Jennifer from Daryl's arms."The call sounds urgent. Maybe you should answer it," I suggested before walking out with the baby.Daryl sighed in relief.When I returned, I overheard Madison's voice on the other end of the phone, desperate and pleading."Daryl, I know you still care about me, so why are you treating me like th

My father's face was dark with anger."I'm so disappointed in you. After everything he's done, you still can't bring yourself to divorce him? How many lies has that scumbag fed you?"I didn't reply. This was something I would prove with my actions."Don't worry, Dad. I have a plan."After I returned home with Jennifer, Daryl changed his usual cold behavior. Not only did he start coming back home on time, but he also made home-cooked meals and served them to me.In the evenings, he would take care of Jennifer. He would tell me that caring for a child was hard and that as a husband, he should be helping out.A week later, I arranged to meet Madison at a restaurant downstairs from my apartment.Madison arrived dressed in her finest, wearing the same crystal bracelet I had. She sat down and flashed me a sly smile."So what's going on, Ms. Sullivan? Do you finally have time to see me, or is it that you can't control your husband and decided to come after me instead?"I haven't been

Each word hit me like a heavy blow to the chest, knocking the breath right out of me.A sharp pain stabbed through my chest. It was so overwhelming that before I could even speak, tears had already begun to fall.With all the strength I had left, I shoved Daryl away."Get out! Daryl, I never want to see you again! Get the hell out!"The loud argument jolted my parents awake. They rushed toward me, my mother immediately pulling me into a protective embrace while my father hurried to fetch an ice pack for me."Natalie! I'm sorry. I knew this guy was no good from the start, but I let my guard down! This is outrageous! How dare he come to our home to pick on you?!"He crouched beside me with a frown, one cigarette after another burning between his fingers.Just then, another knock sounded at the door.When we opened it, Daryl was kneeling outside."I'm sorry, Damian. I've come to take Natalie home.""How dare you?!"My father pointed a finger at Daryl, unable to find the words i

All these years of being married to Daryl, I nearly forgot that I wasn't just some insignificant woman. He only knew my last name was Sullivan, but he never realized that Sullivan Enterprise belonged to my family.I had sacrificed so much of my own dignity just to protect his fragile ego. What a joke!After marriage, Daryl didn't just leave me to go on dates with Madison; he always became unreachable. His disappearing acts became routine, and by the time the next day rolled around, he would always have some excuse ready to cover up his absence.It wasn't until one day, when I checked his phone, that I finally figured out who he had been spending his time with.We had an explosive argument. I cried on the floor, devastated, while he remained cold and distant. He accused me of invading his privacy, then ignored me for two whole weeks after that.He had used my love for him to hurt me without any remorse.I swore I wouldn't leave him, but this time felt different.When I needed h

A week ago, Daryl disappeared for an entire night.I had been in pain. It was postpartum cramps so severe that the doctor advised I get a check-up, preferably with a family member accompanying me.But no matter how many times I called, Daryl was nowhere to be found.Left with no other choice, I turned to my best friend for help. She found him in a private booth at a nightclub—his arms wrapped around Madison.The next day, we had a huge fight in my hospital room.Daryl stuck to the same excuse, acting like I was making a big deal out of nothing."I was drunk. And anyway, there were so many people there—what could have possibly happened between me and Madison? You've been so paranoid since you got pregnant. Are you sure this isn't just postpartum depression?"If something were going on between me and Madison, don't you think we would've been together a long time ago? You wouldn't be here if that happened!"When you gave birth, Madison even came to see you in the hospital. And now

"Natalie, I haven't eaten yet..."I turned back and looked at him, confused. "If you haven't eaten, then eat. Why are you telling me?"Did he still expect me to be like before? No matter what, always making sure a home-cooked meal was waiting for him?Holding the baby, I glanced over my shoulder and added, "Oh, right. If you're hungry, there's still a pack of spicy noodles. You can cook it yourself."-Newborns fall asleep quickly. Once the baby was settled, my phone buzzed with a message from my father.[Natalie, you've turned me down so many times, but I'm getting older. Can't you take over the company for me? Just think of it as doing your dad a favor.[I know you don't want Daryl to feel like he's been deceived, that the company he's been working for all this time is actually ours. But in the end, you're my only child. If you don't take over, who will?]A dull ache spread through my heart. My parents had already sacrificed so much for me. And yet, I had nearly let all their

Daryl Carter came home beaming, but I had already finished packing my suitcase.He froze for a moment before asking, "Natalie, why are you packing?"Without looking up, I replied calmly, "I'm staying at my dad's for a few days."A flicker of surprise crossed Daryl's eyes before he pulled a crystal bracelet from his pocket and slipped it onto my wrist. Then, he wrapped an arm around me."I've been so busy with work lately that I even forgot when you finished your postpartum recovery. I'm sorry, honey.""Yea."My response was indifferent, and Daryl stared at me. When I didn't question him, his expression grew uneasy.If this had been before, I would've pestered him for an explanation. I would've demanded answers until I was satisfied.I had always thought that if the day ever came when I caught Daryl cheating, I would completely break down—I'd cry, scream, anything but stay this calm.When I saw the plane tickets in Daryl’s wallet the other day, I was excited.I thought maybe D
