Chapter 1

"Yelena, something came up at work. I need to go take a look," Henry Lane said as he got out of bed.He placed a kiss on my forehead, his eyes filled with deep affection.If not for those words, I would have believed that the man who loved me so dearly could never betray me. Tears welled up as I stared at his chiseled face. Henry took no notice of my emotions. He hurriedly got dressed and left in a rush.I walked to the window and watched as his car drove off—in the opposite direction of his company.That liar!Tears spilled down my cheeks, my chest tightening with unbearable pain. It took me a long time before I could even breathe properly again. That night, Henry returned, reeking of perfume. It was unmistakably a woman's fragrance.I frowned in disgust and subtly moved away when he tried to wrap his arm around my waist.Henry stiffened up and tentatively asked, "Yelena, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"Curling up in the corner, I responded halfheartedly.Henry p

Chapter 2

A voice message popped up, spoken in clumsy Crestese. "Henry loves me, not you. Hurry up and divorce him."I immediately realized who this person was. There was no mistaking the voice. Another message soon followed, ruder than the first. "The one who is unloved is the third party. Leave already."I stared at my phone, unimpressed. Is this all she got? Henry chose a woman like this?I had no idea how she got my Instagram, but I was sure she was an idiot.Still, I had no energy to dwell on trivial matters. Ignoring her, I took a cab to the hospital. After getting my number, I quietly waited by the door.For a brief moment, I hesitated, wondering if this child would blame me. But upon further thought, I realized she probably wouldn't.Given her father's betrayal and scandalous life, the constant public shame, could she truly find happiness?No. It would be better if she were never born. Henry knew my character; I had zero tolerance for cheating. When we first married, h

Chapter 3

When Willow heard about my decision, she hugged me tightly. "You need to rest well since you just had an abortion," she reminded me.On the way to the airport, I passed by Henry's Maybach. A woman with a high nose and deep-set eyes sat in the front passenger seat. Her golden, slightly curled hair cascaded over her shoulders, enhancing her exotic charm.Meanwhile, I was wrapped up in a thick down jacket, a fluffy hat, a mask, and gloves. From head to toe, I was hidden. Henry didn't recognize that the black-clad woman dragging a suitcase was me.His luxury car was parked by the roadside, and the stunning Rushnian woman was practically draped over him. Soon, they were kissing passionately.I didn't bother watching. Instead, I kept walking—until Willow's call came in.There was hesitation on the other end. "What's wrong?" I asked.She replied, "I saw your husband with a Rushnian woman…"She must have been nearby and witnessed the same scene. And like me, she must have been disgu

Henry shouted, "No! Yelena, I will never divorce you! And the child—why did you never tell me about it?"His voice trembled as he spoke.He was probably regretting it, but what was the use of regret? We could never go back. No matter how hard he tried, it was over."I will never agree to a divorce!" Henry insisted. "Don't joke with me. This isn't funny at all."So, he thought I was joking.I said coldly, "Henry, I'm not joking with you, nor negotiating with you. If you don't sign it, then I'll file for divorce through a lawsuit.""No. Yelena, I promise I'll never do it again," he pleaded.Henry sounded helpless and lost. It seemed he had finally realized I wasn't joking or throwing a tantrum—I was seriously ending us.To me, cheating was either done zero times or countless times.I'd be a fool to believe him.Every business trip he went on was to meet that Rushnian woman. I didn't even know how many times he had slept with her behind my back.I didn't want to talk to him any

I held up my phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Mr. Gray? I want to file for divorce. My husband has been dragging it out for half a year," I said.Henry's expression darkened as he glared at me. But since we were in public, he didn't dare make a scene.Whatever lingering feelings I had for him had been completely worn away by his actions.When Willow and I were about to leave the hospital, Henry tried to stop us. In the end, he got punched by the fierce Willow and had no choice but to let go.Willow and I booked a hotel, and once we got there, I sent all the evidence I had of Henry's infidelity to my lawyer.When Willow heard I was suing Henry, she was fully supportive."For scum like Henry, you should've forced him to divorce you ages ago. I heard he's not just involved with that foreign woman, Polina, but he also has inappropriate relationships with other women," she said.I had thought I had uncovered all the evidence of Henry's infidelity, but it turned out I had only scrat

The entire company knew about it.I thought I had made things clear to Jackson, but I hadn't expected him to keep holding on.To be honest, he was a really good person. But after what happened with Henry, I was terrified of being betrayed again. His infidelity had left a deep scar—once bitten, twice shy.Fortunately, Jackson didn't force me. He just patted my shoulder and let out a heavy sigh. "There's an international conference tomorrow, and I need you to attend."Then, he turned and walked away, looking disappointed.Watching his retreating figure, I couldn't help but recall how he used to be—bright, full of energy, like a little sun that lit up my life.
