로그인Bradley Fry, my CEO husband, loves bringing his friends home for meals the most. He claims that this makes them feel like an actual family. As they drink in the feast I've whipped up for everyone, one of Bradley's friends comments smilingly, "I knew that you were a virtuous one, Emily! Now this is how the legitimate wife should act!" My expression doesn't falter as I ask in a half-joking manner, "Oh? Does Bradley have a spoiled and pampered mistress by his side, then?" His friends are stunned by my question. A trace of panic crosses their eyes simultaneously. But Bradley just wraps an arm around my shoulders with a smile. "Don't listen to their nonsense, Emily. Who else is worthy as my wife but you in this world?" As I look at Bradley's nonchalant expression, I just shoot him a smile. But when I leave the room, I dial a number. "Philip, Bradley has cheated on me with another woman. I want him to be locked behind bars for the rest of his life."

I pressed it without a moment's hesitation.The piercing alarm blared to life, and every light in the villa instantly blazed on.Bradley whipped his head around to look out the window. The bodyguards were already turning to storm into the villa.He turned to face me again, his eyes filled with a tangled mix of hatred, resentment, and a fleeting flash of despair that vanished as quickly as it appeared."Emily, must you be so heartless?" His voice suddenly dropped low, as if all the strength had drained out of him. "Ten years, Emily. Ten years, and you threw it all away and sent me to prison like it meant nothing?""You're the one who threw it all away first," I said, looking at him, my voice completely devoid of emotion. "We were finished the moment you betrayed me and called me a housekeeper.""Fine. Have
The constant tension over the past days had worn me out, and I soon fell into a deep sleep.I didn't know how long had passed when I was jolted awake by an extremely faint creak. My heart instantly leaped into my throat, and I snapped my eyes open.The sole light in the room came from a tiny nightlight by the bed. In its faint amber glow, I could make out a tall dark silhouette half-crouched on the windowsill.Rainwater dripped from the soaked hem of his clothes onto the carpet, blooming into a small patch of dark stain.Bradley had lost a lot of weight. The black windbreaker that once fit him perfectly now hung loosely on his frame, and his entire body reeked heavily of blood.But those eyes of his were disturbingly bright, his gaze fixed on me with deadly intensity, like a wild beast locking onto its prey."Emily, it's been a while. I knew they wouldn't be able to stop me from seeing you."His voice came out raspy, and it even carried a trace of eerie amusement.Cold sweat in
Sabrina was so terrified that she broke down in tears and screams. "This has nothing to do with me! I don't know anything!""Get him!"At the lead officer's command, two officers lunged straight for Bradley.But just as they were about to grab him, Bradley suddenly shoved the bodyguard beside him hard and pushed Sabrina directly into the arms of the officers.Seizing the split-second distraction, he spun around and hurled himself toward the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the banquet hall.The enormous windows shattered with a deafening crash, the spray of debris cutting into his arms.Before he fled, Bradley cast one deep look back at me. In those usually impassive eyes, there was a glint of bitter resentment and quiet malice."After him!" the lead officer roared, charging forward with his men.I followed them to the window just in time to see Bradley land on the lawn below. He scrambled to his feet and sprinted toward the dense woods behind the winery."He won't get
Sabrina immediately played along, her eyes reddening as she hid behind him and choked out through sobs, "Bradley, don't say that. Ms. Blackburn just had a moment of weakness."Even as she spoke, she was secretly glancing up to gauge the guests' reactions, the smugness unmistakable in her eyes.Several of Bradley's friends immediately stepped forward to echo him."That's right! We all knew about this!""This woman is just a housekeeper who's been with the Fry family for too long, and now she thinks she can latch onto someone above her station!""Bradley has been more than generous with her, and she still dares to cause trouble here! How shameless of her!"The guests' murmurs grew louder and louder, and the looks they cast at me were filled with nothing but contempt and disgust.People pointed at me, some even muttering curses under their breath."So she's a fraud. She looks all prim and proper on the outside, but she's actually rotten to the core."Bradley watched it all with a
