Chapter 1 Cheating Wife

작가: Cool Husky
I came out of the airport, but the car was gone. It was two o'clock in the morning, and the streets were empty. I had to walk all the way home, shivering and pulling myself as close as possible.

My belly was aching, and sweat poured down my forehead. Yet, and yet, the memory of what I saw chilled my heart more than the cold could. Ten years. We went ten years without any children. The Willoughbys did not like that at all.

They told everyone I was sterile. They told everyone I was ruining their daughter's future. Of course, they were oblivious to the truth. I was a healthy guy, but their daughter refused to give me a child.

Every time I said I wanted one, she, in disdain, said she hated children and the role of a mother. But the night before she went on a business trip, she was unusually nice to me. She promised me a better future and even talked about children.

I thought she was having a change of heart.

Well, I was stupid. She was only learning how to be a mother for her lover. When I got back home, it was already dawn. Rochelle came out of her room, hearing the sounds I made.

I was shivering, but she only frowned and tossed me a jacket she grabbed off the couch. Without hesitation, she berated me, "Are you a moron, Timothy? Why did you freeze yourself and stay out all night? I was exhausted! I didn't want to wait for you!"

Five years ago, when she found out Samuel was coming home, Rochelle's attitude started to change. She made it a point to berate, mock, and belittle me every day.

The old me wouldn't have taken this lying down. I would have argued with her, but all I did was give her a look that said, 'You're a child.'

Then, I kept quiet.

My chilly attitude made her mad. "Don't give me that look! Samuel only came back because he wanted to fulfill his one wish of getting a child. I just want to help! No big deal! Not like I'm throwing our relationship away! I'll cut all my ties with him after the child's born. I could've made him stay away, but I took him home because I had to reassure you.

"You knew I've always wanted Samuel, and you married me despite that. Don't act like you're the victim here."

I just needed my rest. She was being a nuisance. However, Rochelle grabbed my arm and pushed me away. "Samuel's not feeling well, so he's using the bedroom. You just got back anyway. Get us breakfast. No big deal, right?"

And the door slammed shut. I stood in the corridor, laughing mirthlessly. No big deal indeed. That bastard took my bed, my woman, and my rest time, yet she thought it was natural.

If I defied her, I'd be called petty, petulant, and worse, trying to embarrass her. The only reason she had the audacity to do this was because I loved her. Well, I used to.

And thanks to that, she took everything I did for her for granted. I took a deep breath and was about to pull out my keys, but someone opened the door. Samuel.

He was in my pajamas, giving me a challenging look. "I just got off the plane. Jetlag's still bugging me, so can you get me the breakfast from that stall about a couple of miles away? You know the one. Here's the money."

He pulled out some money from the back and tossed it all over me. Putting on a fake act of surprise, he said, "Oh, sorry. My hand slipped. Pick it up, will you?"

  • She Returned After Five Months With a Child   Chapter 10 Failed Attempt

    Three years went by before I knew it. I'd finished project after project once I put my mind to work. Pretty soon, I was promoted from regular office worker to department head. The CEO promised I could be a deputy director if I could close this 150,000-dollar deal.I was not going to say no to that, and a chance presented itself soon enough. The investor was a multinational company, and they wanted to expand their market here, so they got in touch with me.The terms they named were enticing. If I could close this deal, the company could make serious money. I'd been excited for the last few days, and I was going to meet the potential business partner in the best state I could be in.The day of the negotiation came, and I went to the airport first thing in the morning. A woman came out and made a beeline for me. I felt my heart beating faster, and I greeted her, but when I saw her face, I froze.Rochelle.She smiled. "I'm friends with the CEO, so she's letting me handle this investme

  • She Returned After Five Months With a Child   Chapter 9 Punished Side-piece

    Samuel whipped out a knife from his back and lunged at me. I could not move out of the way in time, so I closed my eyes, making peace with my eventual fate.I heard the sound of blade ramming into flesh, but the pain did not come. My eyes snapped open, and I saw Rochelle. She showed up out of nowhere, and she had a hole in her stomach, blood gushing out like water from a geyser."Are you okay, Rochelle?" Stunned, Samuel tossed the knife away and darted over to Rochelle.Rochelle punched him away and turned around. Though it was hard for her, she hugged me. "Timothy, are you alright?"My mind was blank, and tears came to my eyes. The crowd called the cops, and an ambulance came soon after. They carted her away on a gurney, but she extended her arm and tried to hold my hand.I looked at the bloody stamp on my arm. Not now. I could not leave her to fate, so I followed the ambulance to the hospital.…The stab ran deep, and she was hit at a dangerous spot. The surgery took a long

  • She Returned After Five Months With a Child   Chapter 8 Evil Side-piece

    The shards cut Rochelle's wrist, but she didn't care. She stumbled forward. "What happened? Y—" Then she looked down, and whatever she had left to say died in her throat.She knew no amount of explanation could help her case now. I took out the divorce papers and served them to her. "Sign the papers. We have nothing more to discuss."It took Rochelle a while to break out of her trance. She opened her mouth and, with a trembling voice, pleaded, "Please, forgive me one more time." There was an expectation in her tone.I crushed it. I shook my head.She plopped down onto her chair, defeated. With difficulty, she asked, "You don't believe me. You don't think I love you. I've talked it out with Samuel. Once I deliver his baby, I'll send him abroad. We'll never meet again."I sighed. "You don't get it at all. The one I'm sick of is you. Even without Samuel, it'd only be a matter of time before you found another one. Your promise lost all its value the moment you made your first lie."L

  • She Returned After Five Months With a Child   Chapter 7 Negligent Wife

    That caught Rochelle by surprise, and she quickly pieced together an explanation. "That's not what… I mean, I wasn't… No, we'll talk when we get home. I'll pick you up."My buddy's house was a stone's throw away from my workplace, so I didn't say no to her offer. Then, Rochelle came bearing a bouquet of roses. "It's Valentine's, Timothy. Let's go on a date."Yeah, she was obviously trying to get back into my good books. I looked at the bouquet and darted backward, pinching my nose. "I'm allergic to pollen. Not like you cared, though."…It was the third year of our marriage. Rochelle forgot a file for a meeting, and she called me. She wanted me to take that file to her. I did, but once I got into the conference hall, I was met with a dozen pots of flowers in full blossom.My respiratory tract closed up, and I fell down to the ground, spasming before I could finish one sentence.Rochelle spared me no pity. Right after I was dragged back to life, she yelled at me from the ward's

  • She Returned After Five Months With a Child   Chapter 6 Controlling Wife

    I grabbed Samuel's hand and put it over Rochelle's baby bump. A genuine smile hung on my lips, and with earnestness, I said, "This is the culmination of your loving relationship. I'd want nothing more than for it to grow under the care of loving parents. I'll pray for your happy family."You don't have to ask for my permission, though. The baby's yours, not mine. Whose name it takes is for you to decide."And I left, but Rochelle stopped me before I could, her face pale as a corpse's. "You know I am not going to make a family with him, Timothy."I massaged my temples. "But you're made for each other. I mean, you love him like your life depends on it. Just get married already.""No, it means nothing to me! I know you're angry because of some of the things I did, but I swear, I would've never started a family with him! I only took care of him because we used to date. I couldn't just leave him! If you're mad about it, I'll get him a caretaker. From tomorrow on, I'll stay away from him

  • She Returned After Five Months With a Child   Chapter 5 Arrogant Side-piece

    Rochelle stormed out of the room and did not come back for two weeks. Then, out of the blue, in the dead of the night, Queenie called me.A reluctant Queenie told me that Rochelle got herself blackout drunk and wouldn't stop calling my name. She demanded that I pick her up.I said no."It's the dead of the night. You're right beside her, if I'm not wrong. Just take her to your place and host her for the night. Or just call Samuel."I was being honest. Without a third wheel, also known as me, the couple could have a heart-to-heart.Rochelle came home not too long later, looking cold. She tossed her alcohol-stained clothes into the bathroom and took a shower before sliding into my bed.This was awkward, but I did not have the energy to start a quarrel, so I pretended to sleep.…She started acting strangely the next few days, coming back home every single day. She'd also make breakfast before I even woke up, and take me to and from work.My colleagues noticed the gifts she'd bee
