At my mother's funeral, I caught my husband passionately kissing a sales associate at the local department store. When I confronted him about it, he turned the tables and accused me of being paranoid and delusional. Later, I discovered she had been calling my husband "daddy" in their text messages. The betrayal left me emotionally numb, and I decided to step aside, giving them my blessing. What I did not expect was discovering that she was not just involved with my husband—she had been sleeping around with multiple men. When my husband finally learned the truth, he came crawling back to me with tears streaming down his face, begging for forgiveness. By then, I had already moved on with my life and wanted nothing to do with him.

Setting Myself Free Chapter 10
Troy insisted on continuing the camping trip despite his injured hands. After a quick first-aid session, we headed off to meet Yuna and the others.During the drive, Troy kept glancing at me, asking if I was okay. Caleb's attack had shaken me more than I wanted to admit, my heart still racing from the encounter.I tried to lighten the mood and teased him. "Why are you so worried about me? Do you have a thing for me or something?"I noticed Troy's special attention toward me through our conversations and time together. However, he said nothing; he just blushed and avoided eye contact.The camping trip turned out to be wonderful.As everyone gathered to stargaze that evening, fireworks suddenly lit up the darkness, bursting into dazzling colors. As the final burst exploded, I saw my face outlined in sparkling colors.Before I could process it, Troy dropped to one knee and asked, "Harper, will you be my girlfriend?"I gasped in surprise, finally understanding that Troy had planned

I frowned at Caleb's persistent haunting of my life. After telling Yuna to go ahead, I confronted him. "What do you want now? I told you to stop bothering me.""Harper, I was wrong about everything. Please forgive me," Caleb pleaded, grabbing my hand desperately.I laughed bitterly. "What happened? Did Sheena dump you?"Caleb's face flushed with embarrassment. "Harper, believe me, I love you. Sheena manipulated me into hurting you. That wasn't really me. Please give me another chance. I promise I'll never do it again."His begging did not move me at all. I knew his words were just empty promises from someone who could not handle the consequences of his actions."I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in someone else's trash," I said, turning to leave. I did not want to keep the others waiting and worried.However, Caleb was not done. He suddenly dropped to his knees and grabbed my clothes.He cried, "Harper, what will it take for you to forgive me? Haven't I been punished enough? I'v

My conversations with Troy had become more frequent. One day, he asked if I wanted to go camping, emphasizing that many people would be there.When I asked Yuna's opinion, she volunteered to come along. With our plans set, we headed to the mall to pick up camping supplies.As we grabbed the last few items, Yuna nudged me and whispered, "Harper, isn't that Sheena?"Looking up, I spotted Sheena wrapped around a man who was definitely not Caleb. They were acting like love-struck teenagers.Just yesterday, I saw Caleb posting photos of himself with Sheena on social media, which meant they were still together.It did not add up, and I wondered if Sheena was secretly dating multiple guys behind Caleb's back. The opportunity was too good to pass up, and I immediately unblocked Caleb's number and called him.It did not take long for him to pick up. Before Caleb greeted me, I said, "Sheena's cheating on you. She's at East Mall right now."There was a moment of silence before Caleb respon

A magnetic, cold voice commanded, "She told you to let go. Didn't you hear her?""Who do you think you are? This is between me and my wife, so mind your own business!" Caleb snapped, clearly annoyed to see someone more impressive than him defending me.Troy turned to me with a questioning look, and I shook my head—Caleb was not my husband anymore. He immediately understood and gave me a reassuring nod before turning back toward Caleb.He stated firmly, "I don't care what's going on, but you will not harass my guests. Unless you want security to escort you out."As Troy moved to lead me away, I paused, determined to cut all ties with Caleb once and for all."Everything that happened to Sheena was self-inflicted. Don't believe me? Check the security cameras," I said, pointing to the surveillance camera above us."And one more thing—Caleb, we're divorced. You and your new girlfriend need to stop bothering me. Thank you."The finality in my voice made Caleb uncomfortable. Troy waite

"It's okay," I assured Yuna. Then, I took her hand and moved through the crowd to avoid awkward encounters.When the party officially began, the birthday boy appeared and gave a short speech. Once he was done, the servers wheeled out a massive ten-tier cake.Yuna mentioned that her friend's name was Troy Ashford. He was handsome and seemed approachable.Our eyes met across the room, and he raised his glass with a friendly smile.Yuna noticed my distraction and nudged me playfully. "Why are you zoning out?"Snapping back to reality, I quickly lifted my glass to join the toast. Just then, Sheena approached and accidentally—supposedly—spilled her drink on me."Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, Harper! I didn't mean to; it was an accident! What should we do?" Sheena exclaimed with fake innocence, playing the helpless damsel.I knew it was deliberate, but I refused to make a scene at someone else's birthday party. Besides, that would only give Sheena what she wanted.Yuna asked worriedly, "

Sure enough, Caleb's act crumbled within minutes. "Harper, I know I'm in the wrong. Won't you come home with me?"He shoved the roses forward again, pleading, "I've been going crazy missing you these past few days. Look, I even got your favorite roses this morning."I glanced at the bouquet, noticing that the petals were already wilting. It was obvious that the flowers were not fresh from that morning. Not only did I dislike roses, but I was also allergic to their pollen.The scent hit my nose, and my body instantly reacted with discomfort.As I took two steps backward, I asked calmly, "Caleb, did you forget about my pollen allergy? These must be Sheena's favorites. Did she reject them? So, you're giving them to me instead?"Caleb's smile froze, his expression turning awkward, confirming my suspicions. His lies were making me sick. I tried closing the door, but Caleb threw down the roses and blocked it with his hand."Harper, why are you so fixated on Sheena? She hasn't done anyt

It was hard to believe that was the same man who had once promised to love me forever. As I struggled to my feet, my right ankle throbbed with real pain. However, Caleb's deepening frown told me he thought I was faking it.I let out a bitter laugh. I said, "You know why I'm here. Should I read your chat history with her out loud for everyone to hear?"And Sheena, are you so desperate for a man that you must go after my husband? You're even calling him Daddy—how disgusting can you get?""That's not true! There's nothing between Caleb and me!" Sheena sobbed while Caleb's face turned purple with rage at being exposed publicly."Enough! How dare you slander Sheena? She never seduced me. We were having normal conversations," Caleb snapped. "Apologize to her. Now!"Apologize? His commanding tone crushed what little hope I had left for our marriage. My heart went completely cold as I watched him unconditionally defend Sheena without offering me any explanation.At that moment, I knew—ou

I quietly took photos of their chat history before placing the phone back in his jacket pocket. At that point, confronting him or breaking down in tears seemed pointless.About five minutes later, Caleb emerged wrapped in a towel from the shower. He immediately reached for his jacket and asked suspiciously, "Did you look at my phone?"I shook my head, denying it. He pressed the issue several times, but I remained calm and admitted nothing. Eventually, he dropped the matter.I could not help but laugh at the absurdity. They had been caught making out, yet he was worried about me looking at his messages. Nevertheless, I would not let either of them off easy.The next day, I took a cab to the mall where Sheena worked. I spotted her at the luxury boutique, wearing a white blouse, black pencil skirt, and sheer black stockings.Her tall figure and pretty face made it easy to see why she had caught Caleb's attention."Welcome, how may I help... Harper Smith?" She started with her rehear

A piercing ringing filled my ears as I watched the scene unfold. They made me feel like the villain for wanting Sheena to leave, even though I was Caleb's wife.I could not understand how Caleb had changed so dramatically from the man I had married. He had once been so kind, loving me more than anyone ever had.My story was not an easy one—my father passed away when I was young, leaving my mother to raise me alone.She worked multiple jobs to make ends meet, often looking guilty when she could not provide the same luxuries other children had. Nonetheless, she made sure I got into a good college.I met Caleb there. He was brilliant and kind, and he never judged my humble background.When other students whispered behind my back, calling me bad luck because of my father's death, Caleb always defended me. I truly believed I had found my soulmate.After graduation, we married and were blessed by everyone's well wishes, including my mother's. Yet, she had fallen ill before I could repa

Chapter 1
Today was my mother's funeral, and the weight of being truly alone pressed heavily on my shoulders.My father had passed away years ago, and my mother had joined him after her battle with illness. Despite the emptiness in my heart, I maintained a brave face, nodding and thanking all the friends and relatives who had come to pay their respects.The thought that no one would be left to call me home for the holidays made my heart ache. At least I still had my loving husband, Caleb Golding—or so I thought.I looked around for him, puzzled by his absence at such a crucial moment. We still had important funeral proceedings to attend together, so I went searching for him.As I turned a corner, I heard hushed voices and flirtatious giggles. I would have walked away, but the conversation that followed stopped me in my tracks.A woman's voice whispered, "Baby, you should go back. What if your wife finds us?""Don't worry. She's too busy to come this way.""Stop it! We shouldn't..."My mi...
