I'm performing heart surgery when my "crimes" are announced through the hospital's speakers. The woman cries, "Dr. Maeve Thornton wrecked my family, seduced my husband, and chose to be with him despite knowing he was married! "She contacted my husband in private and operated on my five-year-old daughter when she was perfectly fine. She attempted murder during the surgery!" The woman is my husband's mistress, but she turns the tables on me and kicks the operation theater's door down with a group of people who think they're righteous. She curses at me and kicks the medical equipment over, wanting me to get on my knees and apologize. She and her entourage take my scalpel away, strip me of my scrubs, and even stab me with my scalpel. There's blood everywhere. I start laughing when my husband finally arrives. "So, this is the biggest surprise you've prepared for me, huh?"

Someone commented online, "How can a woman like her be allowed to be a doctor? She should resign immediately."No matter how many people spoke up for me, public opinion drowned out their voices. The criticisms against me kept coming in.Shane called, sounding concerned. "Honey, no matter what they say, I believe you. I know you're not that kind of person. But this does involve Faye. Why not release them so that she can clear things up for you? It breaks my heart to watch you being slandered like this."I couldn't hold back my disgust and almost threw up at his mock concern. "No need for that. This has nothing to do with you, and I don't want you involved. Let's get divorced."There was silence on the other end of the line as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing."Maeve? Do you know what you're saying? I'm willing to believe you and vouch for you!" Shane was almost shouting."Thanks, but no thanks. I could take Ellie out for a stroll in public. Anyone would see she's obvious
Anatomy of Betrayal Chapter 6
When Faye and her group of friends were taken away for questioning, they finally started to feel scared about what awaited them. They resorted to stammering when being asked questions and playing dumb.But I wasn't about to let it go.During this time, I uncovered the truth behind Shane and Faye's relationship. It turned out that Shane had already been involved with Faye before he'd even married me. Faye had always known about my existence and had accepted Shane's relationship with me because he had promised her that once he gained control of my father's company, he would cast me aside and make her his wife. She counted on Shane and dreamed of the day when she would become a rich man's wife.But years went by, and nothing changed. When Shane brought their daughter to my home, Faye felt threatened. She thought he was going to abandon her. In her desperation, she devised a plan to ruin my reputation and destroy me.Unfortunately for her, I wasn't foolish, and neither was my dad. Th

I frowned and was just about to make a sarcastic comment.But suddenly, Faye rushed over and clung to Shane.She yelled at me, "Who do you think you are to rebuke my husband like that? You destroyed our family of three! If I'd known, I would've just sent you to your deathbed with one stab and ended it back then!"Faye was defending Shane like a loyal dog, but he pushed her away.He scolded her harshly, "You seduced me, got pregnant behind my back, and tore apart my marriage with Maeve. You, of all people, have no right to speak! If Maeve wants me to kneel for three days and nights to atone for my mistakes, I'd gladly do it!"Faye looked devastated as tears swam in her eyes. "Dear, what are you saying? Are you abandoning me and our child? Why are you going along with this when you told me you only wanted her family's…" Her voice trailed off as she caught Shane's furious glare. Right away, she covered her mouth."Stop trying to drive a wedge between me and Maeve!" he snapped.I

Shane froze, his handsome face full of disbelief, and he looked hurt. Ignoring everyone else in the room, he quickly tried to reassure me. "I have nothing to do with her!"He slapped Faye hard across the face to show that he meant what he said. His eyes were full of contempt, and he slapped her so hard that her face was flung to the other side. He snarled, "How dare you hurt my wife, you wretched woman? Do you have a death wish?"Faye held her swollen cheek, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Are you hitting me because of this mistress? Don't you know she's hurting our daughter?"A bitter laugh escaped my lips. "The patient just came out of surgery and needs rest. You're the one blocking the operating room door and putting her life at risk."I then turned to Shane and said, "And as for you, I think our marriage has reached its end."Everyone's eyes darted back and forth between the three of us. A few of my colleagues took Ellie to the general ward while Faye's group of friends co

"If I wanted to harm Ellie, why would I bother carrying out this surgery and making sure that I completed it? Why would I have her sent to a regular ward afterward? She's very weak right now and shouldn't be dragged into our personal grudges."Open the door first. Let's settle everything after making sure the child is safe, okay?" I said pleadingly, looking at Faye.But she only seemed to think she had me trapped. She scoffed and insisted, "Ellie and I aren't going anywhere. She's staying right here. She'll help me expose you. Then, we'll reunite with her father."Faye's voice was loud. As the anesthesia began to wear off, Ellie started to gain slight consciousness.Upon seeing this, Faye urgently shook Ellie's tiny hand like she'd seen a glimmer of hope. She hurriedly asked, "Ellie, is this the vile woman who stole your dad from me? Was she the one who kept us apart and mistreated you?"Ellie looked up at me, her expression frail. I'd taken care of this child for a month after Sh

Faye's eyes became bloodshot with rage. She looked as if she wanted to hit me on the spot.She released Ellie and stood up. Next, she pulled out her phone and showed everyone the chats between me and my husband. Some of the private exchanges in there made me blush. In front of everyone, Faye began reading them out loud. That night, Shane had decided to get intimate with me late at night even though we were out of condoms at home. Reluctantly, I told him to buy some contraceptives and specified the brand. He agreed and added some sweet nothings a husband would say to his wife. But how did Faye know about this?The name she kept using—Harvey—was my husband's younger brother's name. There must have been some misunderstanding, as my husband's name was Shane.With this thought, I steadied myself and said, "You must be mistaken. My husband's name is Shane Peterson, and we've been married for a long time. You're talking about his younger brother—"Before I could finish, Faye cut me
Anatomy of Betrayal Chapter 1
While I was performing heart surgery on a five-year-old child, the hospital's loudspeaker suddenly blared and emitted an ear-piercing beeping sound. After that, I heard a woman crying over the speakers. She said accusingly, "I want to report Dr. Maeve Thornton, the current attending physician for my daughter! She brought my daughter into the operating room without permission! She wants to murder my child! "Unethical doctors run rampant these days. Why are you breaking up my family and trying to kill my daughter, Dr. Thornton?" The voice on the speaker grew louder, and I could vaguely hear the outraged cries of disapproval from bystanders. My hand nearly slipped as sweat trickled down my cheek. Several of my colleagues looked at me in shock. Their gazes were filled with mixed emotions—I saw mockery, confusion, and sympathy in their eyes. I simply said, "The surgery is almost over. Stay focused."But in the next second, a deafening sound of someone kicking and pounding on the
