Married to Jasper Brook for six years, I found out that he was keeping a mistress under his wing. She was stunning but timid, shrinking back at the slightest raised voice. Because of this, Jasper never lost his temper around her. He indulged her fragility and treated her preciously. However, the mistress wasn’t as obedient as she appeared. When she stirred up trouble with me, Jasper’s patience snapped, and he unleashed his fury on her. The next day, she sent me a photo of her neck covered in hickeys. “Selena, Mr. Brook is so scary. I’m terrified.”
View MoreJasper looked as though he was dealt a devastating blow, repeating over and over, “It’s not like that,” but even he couldn’t refute the truth. Because everything I’d said was true, and he knew it. “Selena, I was an idiot, a complete fool. But I’ve only ever loved you. I lost my mind for a moment. I was seduced by her...” “Don’t pin all the blame on someone else, Jasper. You’re neither noble nor innocent. It was you who failed to control yourself. I’ve already had a lawyer draft a new divorce agreement. When it’s ready, you should sign it. Let’s part ways peacefully.” With that, I turned and walked into my room without sparing him another glance. The next day, the divorce agreement arrived in my hands. The moment Jasper saw it, he tore it to shreds. “I’m not signing this, Selena. If I couldn’t win you back in three years, I’ll take three more or thirty years if I have to. I’ll show you I’ve changed.“Selena, can’t you just try to see me for who I am now? We were so close onc
I listened to the noise outside the stairwell before finally saying, “Jasper, it’s over between us. You need to let it go.” His trembling voice replied, “No, Selena. It’s never over. Not for us.” Since I didn’t plan to stay in Cloudflare for long, I opted to stay in a hotel. I had no idea how Jasper found out my room number, but when I opened the door to head out for dinner, I saw him crouched at my doorstep. He looked up at me, like a pitiful stray dog. The sight took me back to when we were seventeen. Jasper wanted to attend the same university as me to study design, but his father insisted he major in finance. They had a huge argument, and on a freezing winter night, Jasper ran away from home, leaving his family frantic with worry. I eventually found him at the amusement park we used to visit. He’d looked just as pitiful then, sitting on the cold ground in nothing but a thin jacket, curled up against the biting wind. When he saw me, he gave me a bitter smile. “I ca
Three years later, I completed my studies and returned home to participate in a design competition. Coincidentally, the event was being held in Cloudflare. The moment I stepped onto the familiar ground, I felt an overwhelming sense of disconnection, as if I had returned to an entirely different world. I thought I’d never see Jasper again in this lifetime. But fate had other plans. Our reunion came sooner than I ever expected. He was a special guest at the competition. As I stood on stage introducing my work, I felt his intense gaze from the audience like a dagger on my back. When the competition finally ended, I tried to slip away unnoticed. But before I could, a hand grabbed me and pulled me into the stairwell. The next moment, a shadow loomed over me. Jasper braced his hands on the wall, trapping me between him and the cold concrete. His eyes were rimmed with red, his jaw trembling. His hoarse voice broke the silence. “Selena, you finally came back? Three years. I
As the words left her mouth, Molly stood on her toes and leaned in to kiss Jasper. Jasper’s gaze turned icy as he pulled her hands off his neck, his voice cold. “Did you go to Selena?” Molly froze for a moment, guilt flashing in her eyes. But how could she admit it? If Jasper found out she’d provoked Selena, he’d never let her off the hook. She could still remember how much that slap stung. That night, Jasper planned to end things with Molly. If she hadn’t cried so pitifully and drugged him, she wouldn’t even have this life she was clinging to now. No, she couldn’t admit it. “Of course not, Mr. Brook. Are you doubting me?” Molly said, her tone dripping with innocence. “I took your warning to heart. How could I dare go to her again? I swear, I didn’t go near her.” Jasper stared at her, the exaggerated performance making a wave of disgust rise in his chest. How had he ever thought Molly was anything like Selena? They were nothing alike, not even close. Selena was genuin
For some reason, Jasper felt a growing sense of unease. It was the same feeling that had surfaced the day Molly confronted Selena. Molly, noticing his distraction, pouted in dissatisfaction. “Mr. Brook, are you zoning out again? Thinking about your wife? If you miss her so much, why don’t you just go see her? After all, it’s not like I matter to you.” Jasper snapped back to attention, shaking off the thought as baseless paranoia. They were on a cruise in the middle of the ocean. Selena was on the deck watching the stars. There was no way she could leave. The woman beneath him was captivating, and soon, Jasper lost himself in the moment. By the time Jasper went to look for Selena, two hours had passed. But the deck was empty. Selena was nowhere to be found. Jasper frowned, and that nagging sense of dread returned. Maybe she had gone back to their room. He hurried to their cabin, searching every corner inside and out, but there was no sign of her. Jasper’s heart pounded
My blood ran cold, and my mind went blank. So, Snowball wasn’t something Jasper picked out just for me. He simply brought the cat home because Molly didn’t want it. Snowball let out a wail and leaped to the floor. Looking down, I noticed a few strands of fur clinging to my hand. Jasper had already booked the tickets, along with a luxurious suite with a king-size bed. I glanced at the dates. It was set for the third of next month—seven days from now. If my application went through, that would also be the day I left for Ashford. That evening, Jasper thoughtfully brought me a glass of milk, as he often did. His eyes glimmered with desire, but the sight made my stomach churn. I reached out, and my hand accidentally knocked the glass over. The white liquid soaked the sheets, but Jasper was quick to check on me, his voice full of concern. “Selena, are you okay? Did it burn you?” My eyes reddened, and my throat felt dry. “I’m fine.” Jasper let out a relieved sigh and p
When I woke up, Jasper was pleading for my forgiveness, tears streaming down his face as he admitted he was wrong. He trod carefully, terrified I might leave him. I had always been uncompromising—once betrayed, I never looked back. But with Jasper, I hesitated. In my mind, two versions of him were battling it out: the Jasper from my childhood and the Jasper standing before me now. In the end, I relented. “Cut ties with her completely, Jasper. You only get this one chance.” Jasper nodded eagerly and deleted every trace of Molly’s contact information right in front of me. But now, staring at this photo was like a slap to my face—a loud, humiliating one. Jasper lied to me again. Those hickeys on her neck painted a vivid picture of their passion from the night before. I took a deep breath and dialed a number I hadn’t called in a long time. “Professor Thomas, you mentioned six months ago that I could apply for an overseas exchange program. Is that opportunity still ava
I stared at the photo of a neck covered in hickeys and stayed silent for a long time.Yesterday, a woman named Molly Fox came to find me. She claimed to be Jasper Brook’s girlfriend and demanded I step out of their lives. At first, I was stunned. Then it hit me that Jasper had been unfaithful. The woman tilted her chin slightly, her eyes gleaming with a brazen confidence that came from being doted on. Before I could fully grasp the situation, she splashed a cup of warm coffee on me. “Hey, did you hear me? I’m telling you to divorce Jasper. I’m going to marry him.” The brown liquid stained the white dress I just bought, and the dampness on my face made me look utterly disheveled. As if that wasn’t enough, she brazenly caressed her stomach, ignoring the curious stares of those around us. “I’m pregnant and want my child to have a proper family. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to confront you. I know you and Jasper grew up together and have been married for six years, but you’v
