Winning Back the Wife

On our seventh wedding anniversary, Harrison Drummond arrives with the woman he's been seeing behind my back. Tears fill Kate McCauley's eyes. Before I even have a chance to speak, she drops to her knees in front of me. "Ms. Kershaw, love isn't about who came first or last. Harrison and I care for each other with all our hearts. Please, let us be together." I turn to look at Harrison. With a heavy heart, he lifts Kate into his arms. The man who's always obsessed with cleanliness now wipes her tears away, not caring about the mess she leaves behind. Without raising his gaze, he says, "Kate has been by my side without any official name or title. I owe her that much. Don't worry, she's not after anything else. Having her here is no more than adding an extra pair of cutlery at the table." With that, he carries Kate into the bedroom and closes the door behind them. He seems to have completely forgotten that today is our wedding anniversary. Does he even remember the other woman who followed him without status seven years ago? I stare at the glowing "Happy Anniversary" sign resting on the table. In that instant, I realize there is no future left for us.

Chapter 1
The cake on the dining table was nothing but a melted mess. The maid's painstakingly prepared dinner had grown cold hours ago.I grabbed my phone and snapped a picture of the lonely table.No amount of editing could make it look inviting or cozy.A bitter smile tugged at the corners of my mouth.Just as I was about to switch off my phone, a new post from Kate McCauley appeared on my feed."Starting today, I'm officially his girlfriend!"In the photo, she and a man sat in a car, their fingers tightly clasped. At first glance, I knew it was Harrison Drummond's car. I couldn't believe she was in the very seat Harrison had once promised was meant solely for me.With a bittersweet smile, I tapped the like button and left a comment."Well, congratulations. I guess being the other woman feels pretty amazing, doesn't it?"I glanced toward the closed master bedroom door, curious to see how Kate would react.Suddenly, the door swung open.Harrison stepped out, steam still clinging t

"Sweetheart, you're carrying a baby now. Try not to cry so much, okay? It's not good for the little one."I looked up in disbelief. My face turned pale as I stared at Harrison in shock.With tears still shimmering on her cheeks, Kate's lips lifted and formed a subtle, knowing smile. Out of Harrison's sight, she shot me a smug glance.Harrison gently took her hand, his palm resting on her stomach."Kate, the baby wouldn't want to see you upset over someone else."Of course, that "someone else" was me.I watched as Harrison gently coaxed Kate back into the bedroom.My stomach turned at the sight.Standing up, I took the cake and leftover food and tossed them into the trash. By the time I finished washing the dishes, my phone was buzzing nonstop with notifications.When I checked, I saw Harrison had posted a photo—something he almost never did.The image was a profile shot of Kate.At first glance, she bore a slight resemblance to me.Many thought Harrison was showing his love

"What's the point of crying now? Where was all that when you were hurting others and throwing harsh words around? Daisy, you've really disappointed me!"I watched as Harrison swept Kate up into his arms. Without a single glance my way, he rushed out the door toward the hospital.I was left alone, my stomach twisting with pain. As I watched his retreating figure, memories of the day I ran away with him came flooding back.Back then, Harrison had been unwavering, promising he would stay by my side forever.But now, that same resolve was directed at hurting me, all for someone else's sake.Gathering every bit of strength I had left, I managed to call for an ambulance.When I finally opened my eyes again, it was already afternoon.The doctor told me I had suffered acute gastric bleeding. If I had arrived any later, I might not have survived.Fortunately, the condition subsided just as quickly.The doctor carefully cleaned the wound on my forehead and covered it with gauze.I was

All at once, memories of my happiest year with Harrison came rushing back.Back then, my parents had tried to send me abroad against my will. At the airport, Harrison held my hand tightly, refusing to let go. His touch was warm, and his words rang with sincerity.I believed every one of them. For him, I cut ties with my parents without looking back.Harrison and I were like a fire. He lit the match, but I was the one left burning long after he was gone.Staring at the divorce certificate in my hand, I let out a long breath. Tears flowed freely down my face.The summer I gave up everything for love belonged to the past. Along with it, the decade I had shared with Harrison drew to a close.I unlocked my phone and booked a plane ticket. Before long, it was noon the following day.Just as I was preparing to leave, Kate and Harrison arrived home.The moment Kate walked in, her eyes sparkled with excitement.Cradling her barely noticeable belly, she looked at me with a smug smile.

Harrison paced restlessly outside the ICU, my voice from the call still ringing in his ears.His expression darkened with frustration, wondering why I couldn't wait until he was done managing Kate's situation.To him, I was always the one who complicated things unnecessarily.What did it matter if he had a few lovers? He was a high-profile CEO, after all.Harrison loosened his tie, his gaze lingering on the pattern.Suddenly, it hit him. This was the tie I had given him for our sixth anniversary.As he reached for his phone, another realization followed. The day he brought Kate home had been our seventh anniversary.He pressed his lips together, a flicker of guilt passing through him.Moments later, the doctor appeared and informed him that both Kate and their baby were safe.Harrison let out a relieved breath and quickly tried to call me back.The line continued to ring, but no one picked up.A creeping unease began to settle over him. Just as he was about to dial again, Ka

"Don't worry, everything's already set. You just need to take your place," the doctor said. Harrison's hands shook as he struck his own face.The weight of what he had done to me over the past days weighed down on him, and he kept hitting himself again and again.A passing nurse tried to intervene, but Harrison collapsed to the floor, tears of anguish spilling from him.He would never again feel the comfort of my embrace.The nurse stood there awkwardly, unsure how to help.In a fit of rage, Harrison kicked the hospital room door open. Both Kate and the doctor froze, stunned by his entrance.Kate hastily got off the doctor's lap, tears pouring down her cheeks."Harrison, you finally came! This doctor raped me! Our child is gone!"Harrison's sharp gaze pierced the doctor, igniting a mix of anger and humiliation in him."Kate, you're nothing but a trashy woman! How dare you try to frame me now? Mr. Drummond, it's all Kate's doing. She coerced me into helping her fake a pregnan

Chapter 7
At first, I didn't even recognize Harrison. Perhaps it was the weight of my happiness that had clouded my perception.His eyes were swollen, and the charm that once defined his face had disappeared.But the moment our gazes met, his eyes seemed to come alive. Once, I used to look at him the same way. He reached out for an embrace. I stepped aside, letting his arms fall empty.Harrison held nothing but air, yet it didn't seem to matter to him.Tears welled in his eyes as he stared at me, his gaze lingering on every curve of my face."Daisy, I finally found you! I've been losing my mind thinking about you!"Daisy, please come back with me. I know the truth about Kate now. She's nothing but a manipulator. She framed you before, but I've made sure she's in prison now."The pregnancy was a lie. All she wanted was my money. Daisy, I know I messed up. Please, come back. I'll do anything you ask."I stared at Harrison, my face a mask of indifference.In the past, those words might'v
