Chapter 2

Author: Anonymous
Due to being anemic and in deep anguish, I found myself going into shock at the airport.

When I came to, the staff members at the airport had sent me to the hospital.

The doctor who attended to me was a male, Slonian doctor.

I finally managed to borrow someone's phone. This time, I knew that I had to break it off with Spencer for good.

"Prepare a divorce agreement for me. I don't need there to be any terms other than my child. Just deliver the divorce agreement to him on my behalf."

My sudden decision came as a shock to Drew Miller. Even so, he still consoled me, saying, "Alright. Just leave him, then.

"You really scared me when I couldn't get in touch with you the last few days, Didi. Whatever it is, do take good care of yourself. I'll sort out the divorce on your behalf."

After making that call, I sorted out my discharge procedures as quickly as I could.

I was aware that I couldn't go on feeling dispirited like this. My daughter, Rosalie Jacobson, was only three months old. I had to do all I could to take her away with me.

She was my only motivation to stay alive.

Having resolved myself, I was surprised to see Spencer calling me right before I got on my flight. I stared at my phone silently for as long as it rang.

Finally, he gave up.

I let out an instinctive sigh. Then, a carefree smile spread across my face.

This was my first time refusing to answer his call. As it turned out, the feeling of following one's heart was thrilling.

That being said, I knew that Spencer wasn't going to let me go.

Thus, I was not surprised to see him staring at me with bloodshot eyes when I opened the front door to our home.

"Way to go, Bindi Leef."

"What?"

I ignored him after giving him a cold response. I then changed into my indoor slippers on my own, then headed upstairs.

Perhaps Spencer couldn't take the feeling of being disregarded. As a result, he picked up the ashtray from the coffee table and hurled it right at me, hitting my temple.

The intense pain soon spread through my head. But all I could think of in such a situation was not wanting to scare Rosalie if I went upstairs like this.

Spencer probably hadn't expected to have such great aim. The slight panic in his voice was audible.

"Didi, are you alright? I didn't do that on purpose. I was just a little agitated. I-I'll get the first aid kit for you."

I burst out laughing at Spencer's words. "The first aid kit? Do you even know where it's kept in the house? How many times have you actually come back home?"

His focus had always been on Natalia. I was surprised that he showed such concern toward me today.

I retrieved the first aid kit from the storage room, then put some bandages around my head. After that, I went upstairs without a word.

Spencer did not say anything else but simply tagged along with me in silence.

My baby was playing with her own toys in the nursery.

Suddenly, sorrow flooded into my heart. She was still so young, but she had to live with the truth that her parents were going to be divorced.

I watched over Rosalie until she fell asleep before stepping out of the room quietly.

I lifted my eyes slightly. In a slightly impatient tone, I asked Spencer, "Did you have any comments about the divorce agreement?"

All of a sudden, Spencer's eyes turned red. "What are you trying to do? We've been married for five years, yet you're doing something like this now. Bindi, you're not a child. I've had enough of your unreasonable behavior since five years ago.

"When can you be more mature, just like Natalia?"

Natalia this, Natalia that. It was that woman again.

I couldn't take it any longer and delivered a tight slap to the man who betrayed years of my true feelings for him.

"Are you done? Spencer, please also handle your problems like an adult. The divorce agreement I gave you was drafted by my attorney. Why are you bringing Natalia up? Are you asking me to get my attorney to search for evidence of your affair?

"I've had enough after these few years of being married to you. I don't want my child to suffer under your care in the future. Also, please don't make such a ridiculous fuss before me, alright?"

Despite being so aggressive earlier, Spencer drew back all of a sudden. He looked toward me in disbelief, as if I was the scumbag who betrayed him.

"Didi, how many times do I have to tell you that Natalia and I are just friends? There is nothing more between us. Why must you make a fuss?

"Sure, I was wrong for not going on that overseas trip with you as I promised. But that was because Natty… S-She—"

In truth, talking to someone like him felt meaningless. I had no interest in hearing about his relationship with Natalia, nor would I let jealousy take over.

Deep down, those were no longer important. My heart had gone completely cold. Regardless of what he did or said now, Spencer wouldn't be able to bring warmth to my heart again.

I walked into my room and started packing up some of my necessities.

Spencer followed me into the room like a shadow. How revolting.

As expected, once he saw what I was doing, he started condemning me just like he used to. "Bindi, I've been too kind to you. I've given you so many chances today. Why can't you just humble yourself and apologize?

"You're even packing your bags right now. Who are you putting on this act for? You should know where to draw the line. Don't even think of coming back once you cross the line."

Fortunately, I had developed a strong character by now. If I had heard these words in the past, I would have groveled to him like a pitiful dog to ask for his forgiveness.

"I'm leaving. Please speak with my attorney, Drew Miller, regarding the division of our assets."

I continued packing my bags without so much as another glance at Spencer.

I had to take Rosalie's things with me too. She was a descendant of the Leef family, so I certainly couldn't allow anyone else to take her. Not even if that person was Spencer, the man I once loved with all my heart.

    Spencer went out again that night. I knew who he went to see because Natalia had just called him to say that she was out drinking. My husband, the man I was legally married to, went to keep her company because he was afraid that she'd hurt herself. I could never mimic that sweet and coquettish voice of hers. "Spencey, is Didi mad? It was my fault for interrupting your trip, but I really didn't do it on purpose. Could you please plead with her for forgiveness on my behalf?" Spencer was fuming to begin with. Hearing that from Natalia made him even more frustrated at me. "Why are you apologizing? I was the one who suggested going to keep you company. It had nothing to do with you. It was Bindi who didn't know her place. You don't have to worry about her." Spencer spoke on the phone in a loud voice right at my door, as if he was making sure that I could hear him.Nonetheless, he had already broken my heart to pieces. I would no longer make a fuss or get jealous over him anymore.

    I could hear the sound of the rain on Spencer's end of the call. However, he did not say a word, and neither did I. Neither of us was willing to back down. Nevertheless, this time, he finally gave in first. "Didi, please give me another chance. I love you very much. You are my legally wedded wife, Didi. I'm sorry. I won't contact Natalia moving forward. If she ever appears before me again, I will shove her far, far away from me. "Please don't divorce me. I don't want you and Rosie to leave me. Please?" I lifted my head and looked toward the photo frames by the door. Mom and Dad loved collecting photographs from different points in my life. There was even a photo from the time when I brought Spencer home to meet my parents during my university days. We looked young and innocent in the photograph. At the same time, our eyes overflowed with feelings of adoration for one another. I scoffed slightly as I took the photograph down, tore it into pieces, and threw it into the tr

    I almost couldn't recognize Spencer when I met him at the entrance to the courthouse. He looked scrawny and no longer had that vigor that he used to have.When he spotted Drew by my side, a fierce glare flickered across his eyes instantly. However, a helpless look returned to his eyes just as quickly.The divorce was finalized speedily. To my surprise, Spencer openly admitted to the staff member at the courthouse about his affair."I was afraid that others would badmouth you…" I was rendered speechless. "You just worried others would think that I cuckholded you because I brought Drew along with me today? Did you?"But guess what, Spencer? Truth be told, I would truly rather be cheated on than continue having anything to do with you." Drew stood by the car, smiling sweetly at me. Why had I never realized that this young man had such a sweet smile? "My love, I'm here to pick you up to get our marriage registered. Let's get away from this unlucky place." "Sure, darling."

    I nodded at the invigilator before leaving the competition venue. I counted down silently outside. "Three… Two… One…""Excuse me, I'd like to make a report of someone who cheated!" Natalia raised her hand in outrage. I stared at her quietly by the window, feeling like she was making a fool of herself. The invigilator looked toward her, stunned. "Ma'am, please do not yell at the competition venue. Otherwise, we will have to escort you out." This pathetic and lowly woman lived her days pretending to be pitiful while pleasing men. Yet, she had no tact at all. The invigilator gave her a stern glare. "Due to your behavior of disrupting the competition, you will be disqualified." Immediately after that, he took away her design papers. The expression on Natalia's face turned into one of absolute fury. I had never seen her like this up close in the past. Since I had come all the way here, how could I let go of this opportunity just like that? Natalia refused to give up.

    I let out a genuine laugh at this moment.I picked up the artwork and smacked it lightly against Natalia's cheek. "If you've got the time to be thinking about men, you should put that effort into working on your designs instead. "That way, you would've known that Six Brothers' name was derived from a mythical butterfly native to North Arula. Then, you wouldn't have drawn a local, Slonian butterfly as you did in your design. What you drew has nothing to do with this brand."Oh, right. There's something else I forgot to mention." I let out a flippant laugh. "From today onward, I will be taking over as chairperson of Six Brothers' board of directors. You'd have to be a cat with nine lives to cause a commotion on my turf." It was obvious that Natalia was scared out of her wits. She pulled her phone out in a panic and made consecutive attempts to make outgoing calls. However, she failed to get through to the person she was trying to reach out to. I waved my phone at her. "Ms.

    Just like how Spencer was Natalia's childhood sweetheart, Drew was mine. That said, I despised him when I was young because he always teased me. Mom and Dad always advised me, saying, "He's a boy, so of course he'd be cheekier. You don't have to take it up with him over every little thing." Naturally, I wasn't going to meekly do as they said. If he hit me once, I would hit him back tenfold. Eventually, he became my shadow. He tagged along with me from elementary school to middle school, high school, all the way to college. I was very fond of him, but this fondness had transformed into a form of closeness that felt so surreal when I married him in the end. There had always been a tacit understanding between us whereby we never openly spoke about our feelings for one another. And my greatest mistake was agreeing to date Spencer without much thought when he pursued me. Drew and I ended up in conflict for quite a while. Because of this, we almost ended up cutting ties alt
