Chapter 7

Author: Melon Seed
George grabbed the thick stack of documents and hurled them directly into Maya's face.

"Are you feeling proud of yourself?

"You, your father, and your mother played me for five straight years! You tricked me into raising a bastard as my own son!

“And now a filthy illegitimate daughter like you thinks she deserves to be my wife?!

"None of you are worthy!"

His razor-sharp words made Maya's eyes turn instantly red.

Yet she forced a tight, rigid smile onto her trembling lips.

    The court hearing ended in a stalemate.Neither Ethan nor I cared much about the sudden twist.The evidence was overwhelming. Even with George withdrawing his private complaint, those three would end up behind bars sooner or later.What I didn't expect was George signing marriage papers with Maya that very same afternoon.Immediately after obtaining the marriage license, he bound Maya hand and foot. He dragged her to the Mercer family cemetery, which he had rigged with heavy explosives.He sent a single message to my phone.[This payment settles the score for what they destroyed on our wedding night.]Receiving the frantic news, Evelyn and Arthur rushed to the cemetery. Seeing their daughter tied up over explosives, they collapsed to their knees."George, we'll do anything! Please, don't hurt our daughter!"George ignored their pleas. He instructed Austin to start a live stream, pointing the high-definition camera directly at Evelyn's face."I won't press the detonato

    Ethan shifted slightly, stepping between us to shield me."Mr. Martins, your questions have nothing to do with this case."George's eyes turned instantly bloodshot. He glared directly at me."He's the guy, isn't he? The side piece you've been seeing?"Is he the reason you're divorcing me?!"I pushed past Ethan's shoulder and faced him calmly.I repeated the exact words he had once spat at me during my deep depression."George, what is your problem?"Does marriage mean someone has to stay faithful forever? Does marriage guarantee endless love?"Five years is a long time. You got sick of my emotional outbursts, and honestly, I got sick of you too."Sick of him?George froze, repeating the phrase in disbelief."I'm sick of you acting so deeply devoted while holding someone else in your heart."George's face went blank. He shook his head repeatedly."Clara, it's you I love!"What happened with Maya was a setup!"I cut ties with her completely. Please believe me."I looked

On my wedding day."I never got drunk and mistook you for Clara. I never ruined your innocence."You spiked my drink! Then you deliberately engineered the scene so Clara would walk in and see everything!"Maya's eyes snapped wide in terror. She shook her head in a desperate panic."George, no! It's not true!"My feelings for you are real! I

    Arthur frowned. He pulled up a scanned document on his tablet and forwarded the signed divorce papers directly to George's phone. His tone held a hint of annoyance."George, you already appended your signature."Why are you going back on your word now?"George's hands shook as he tapped open the file.The very document he had thrown at Clara's feet, thinking she would never sign, bore her sharp signature at the bottom.George reeled backward.The unwavering confidence he had maintained for twenty-seven years shattered into dust.While he was convinced Clara could never leave him because of her pregnancy, even flaunting his affair with Maya in her face, Clara had already decided to sever every tie with him.George couldn't hear a word Arthur was saying.He cut the call and dialed his assistant, Austin Barry."Find my wife."She just miscarried. She must be at a hospital somewhere."She is resisting me right now. If she tries to run, use whatever force is necessary to restr

    George gripped his phone tightly. His hands trembled."How is that possible?!"I gave a strict order! No one touches that cemetery!"Then, as if realizing something, he let out a cold laugh."Tell me, how much did Clara pay you to put on this show?"She really stops at nothing just to get my attention. How laughable."Panicking, Mr. Luke fumbled to send over the security footage."Mr. Martins, I swear it's not an act!"I sent you the video. You can see for yourself."Just as the notification popped up, Maya walked over with a sweet smile. She took his arm gently."George, you promised to see Leo with me. Stop focusing on work."His finger hovered over the video, then stopped.George suppressed the rising unease in his chest. He shoved the phone back into his pocket without watching the clip. Then, he drove Maya home.The moment the front door opened, a three-year-old boy ran over. He wrapped his small arms around George's leg, calling him daddy in a soft voice.Maya p

    I looked up in pure shock, my fingertips shaking uncontrollably."What are you going to do?"George sighed softly. His eyes held that familiar gentle warmth, but his words were mercilessly cruel."That cemetery is Martins family property."If you insist on playing tough, I'll flatten your mother's grave."I'll make sure she dies carrying the shame of a homewrecker, her ashes ground into the mud forever!"I stared at the man standing over me. It was as if I were looking at a complete stranger.He had personally walked that land with me to pick out the plot.He knew my greatest fear was my mother being humiliated by Maya and her mom even in death.To secure those few square feet of land, he had scoured every inch of the city. He spent three months consulting spiritual advisors just to select that private hill owned by his family.Back then, he held me near her headstone, whispering tender promises."Clara, trust me."This is Martins land.
