The Day I Saw Him with Her Chapter 1 Pregnant
"Congratulations, you're four weeks pregnant."My period was one week late, so I decided to have a checkup, only to be told I was pregnant. This baby was very much an accident. I got out of the consultation room and stood quietly in the corridor, my hand on my belly. I was spacing out, wondering if I should keep it.I had always been frail. If I aborted the baby, I might never get pregnant again. Then, a commotion broke out in the crowd."Whoa, that's Melissa and her boyfriend! They're the perfect match, aren't they?""He's always there for every prenatal checkup. They're so in love.""Their baby will be gorgeous. I mean, look at the parents!"Without thinking, I looked at the crowd and saw Melissa Lichten and Lawrence Nielsen. Melissa went everywhere with her alleged boyfriend for nearly seven years, and everyone thought they were a couple.We had gone out for dinner on Valentine's Day, all three of us. Some paparazzi found us and took a lot of pictures. The netizens cursed me,

Oh, so we were talking about two different things. Still, I had no idea why he was so mad. "Yep."Lawrence wanted to blow up, but he held his anger back. "I know you're annoyed about the award ceremony, but you shouldn't have taken it out on the baby."Well, now I was annoyed. I had been an actress for eight years and was nominated for best actress five times. Just when the committee had agreed that I would win the award this year, Lawrence stole it and gave it to Melissa instead.Her fans called me a clown, and the netizens said I would always be number two. "I'm not annoyed or anything. We're getting divorced anyway, and I see no point in keeping the baby. My lawyer's drafting up the papers. You'll get them tomorrow. Please sign them then."Lawrence never had much patience with me, and now it had run out. "It's just a Best Actress award. You're overreacting. If you want it, I can give it to you next year. We'll talk after you've calmed down."Even when I had aborted the baby and

Lawrence grabbed the papers, tore them apart, and stormed off. He was tall and walked fast. I couldn't catch up to him, but I wasn't planning to, so I texted him. 'I'll be at home. If you don't show up in two hours, my lawyer will file for divorce. You'll shoulder all the consequences that come from it.'If the scandal between him and Melissa got out, I could clear my name, but I was a major shareholder of Starlight Entertainment. Lawrence was the CEO, while Melissa was our celebrity. Their scandal would cost me a fortune.That was one of the reasons I endured the humiliation all these years. I checked the time and drove home. Lawrence came back an hour later. He sat on the couch, silent and expressionless."I printed some new ones." I handed the divorce papers to him.Lawrence took them, his expression darker than ever. He was clenching the papers so hard, they were creasing up. Coldly, I said, "Don't test my patience, Lawrence. Tear that up a second time, and I'll see you in cour
The Day I Saw Him with Her Chapter 4 Divorce
My classmates called me a simp, but I kept following Lawrence around without fail. In my third year of university, Melissa changed course from influencer to celebrity. Her first drama was a hit. Someone found out she used to date Lawrence, and her fans mocked him.They said a broke guy like him wasn't worthy of her. That was a huge blow to Lawrence, and he had signs of relapsing into depression. Eventually, he decided to start a business in the entertainment industry. I was his only artiste then.I tried my best to get more fame, even if it meant I had to ride on someone else's coattails. The netizens did not show any mercy to me, but I persisted. I went to countless business meetings and drank until my stomach bled just to get a role.I was lucky and succeeded. Lawrence confessed and proposed to me. His mother asked me to say yes because she didn't want his depression to rear its head again. I didn't have anyone I liked back then, so I agreed.However, after Starlight Entertainmen

Melissa's fans hounded and cursed me.'You tried to hook up with Mr. Nielsen while he was drunk? Can you actually go any lower? #ZoeStink''Mr. Nielsen and Mel's got a kid. They're about to get married, and you're doing this? Get out of the entertainment industry! #ZoeStink''Get away from him, Stink! Why do you try to steal everything Mel has? Have you ever looked into the mirror?'Those were the nicer insults. There were others that cursed my family and called me a cunt. Just going through those comments almost soiled my eyes. I called Lawrence. "The divorce certificate will be sent to us in a month. You don't have to show off your love now."The more Lawrence showed his love, the worse the curses and insults I received. No one would like to be cursed so much, not even me.Lawrence said coldly, "We're about to get divorced. You have no right to control who I date. If you're having second thoughts, we can go to the city hall and cancel the divorce. However, you have to stay away

Lawrence stared at me expressionlessly. "You hurt your interests too, you know that? Did love make you stupid? You lost nearly 150 million dollars, and all just for Jonathan and Harold. Do you have nothing inside your head?"I raised my eyebrow. "You need to keep up with the news. I've sold my shares, so you're the only one who lost money, not me."Three days ago, while Lawrence was showing off his love for Melissa, I asked my sister, Rachel Trail, to sell my shares to Donald Lawson, the second biggest shareholder of the company.I took my mother's maiden name, while my sister took our father's name. No one would think we were related. Since I rose to prominence because of infamy, I put my shares under my sister's name in case it hurt the company.Besides Lawrence and Melissa, no one knew about this. As for Donald, he was friends with Melissa, so he made my life harder than it had to be. I felt no guilt tripping him up.Lawrence was in disbelief. "You set me up?""Don't look so s

Lawrence had been so busy recently that it took a great toll on him. There were bags under his eyes, and he even had a stubble now. He also lost a lot of weight. He looked worse than the time Melissa dumped him. Lawrence asked, "It's been a month. Are you feeling better?"I picked up a teacup and took a sip. "You didn't ask about my health after the abortion, not even the days after that. Don't you think it's too little and too late now? Feels like fake concern to me.""I was just looking forward to a baby, but you took it away from me without even asking. How could I not be resentful?""I don't think you cared about the baby, given that you're in no shortage of children."Before this, Lawrence was the high and mighty one who held all the cards in his hands. Now, our positions were switched. He frowned and was about to throw a tantrum, but he held back.A little awkwardly, he explained, "Melissa's baby isn't mine. We never slept together."I admired my new nails and nonchalantl
