All This Jealousy Over One Private Jet

I had barely stepped out when Zayden Craig's grating voice came from behind me. "Maybe I should return the gift, Ms. Sanford. You value me so much, so I'm sure your husband is going to be upset."My wife, Amelia Sanford, snapped in disdain, "Don't mind him. I can't stand petty, incompetent men like him the most!"As always, she ground my pride into the dirt. But deep down, I was numb and no longer felt sad or mad.After leaving the office, I returned to my apartment and ordered takeout. While I mindlessly chewed on the tasteless pasta, the office group chat streamed the celebration live. It was a banquet full of delicacies and high-energy performances.Suddenly, the irony hit hard.This was a company I built from the ground up, and now it belonged to Amelia. I had handed it to her simply because she once said she "felt insecure".Now, she had completely forgotten that sacrifice after barely three years.Fine. Since she was so ungrateful, I would strip her back to nothing and p

Holding the pregnancy test report, I was completely stunned.It had the official stamp of the city hospital, and the doctor who signed it was my junior, Daphne Bailey. I knew her character well. She wasn't the type to falsify a report.I looked at Amelia's belly. It wasn't obvious yet, but there was a noticeable baby bump.Besides, she had recently gained weight. She had always been obsessed with her figure, so unless she was pregnant, she would never have allowed herself to put on weight.Though deeply confused, I couldn't stop myself from reaching out to touch her belly. "How far along are you?"Before Mom passed, her dying wish was for us to have a baby soon, and I promised her that we would.Dad died in an accident when I was a kid. Mom raised me alone, worked herself into chronic illnesses, and died before she could ever enjoy life.Having lost both parents at such a young age, I had always longed to start a family of my own.Amelia had made the same promise before the wed

Zayden, ever the schemer, had pieced things together through hints and sly prodding. He eventually learned that Amelia and I were husband and wife. Still, he assumed that I was just some kept man living off her and never missed the chance to humiliate me at work.Now, the few executives who knew the truth finally snapped."This is too much, Mr. Brooks!""They've gone way too far! Even if you can tolerate this, I can't!""Exactly! Let's get up there and teach that pair of lowlifes a lesson!"They clenched their fists, fuming and ready to storm the stage to teach Amelia and Zayden a lesson.I held them back. "Violence is for fools. Don't worry; I'll make them regret this."Despite my warnings, they seethed and muttered curses under their breath at Zayden. I remained silent and secretly recorded the couple's passionate kissing display.After what felt like an eternity, Zayden finally let go of Amelia. He shot me a provocative look and said, "Are you feeling jealous, Mason? I not

Actually, the safety clauses for the company transfer were Mom's idea before she died.Before we got married, Amelia was open about the fact that she wanted a company of her own. Mom warned me to be careful and reminded me that even if I gave it to her, I had to attach clauses that would protect me.Back then, I thought she was overthinking it, but I secretly did it anyway just to put her mind at ease. I never imagined that just three years into the marriage, Amelia would show her true colors as a selfish, greedy woman. It seemed like Mom was a better judge of character than I was.After the divorce, I filed criminal charges against Amelia and Zayden for bigamy. They had held a wedding, lived together, and she was pregnant. On top of that, the whole scandal had blown up online, causing serious public backlash.As a result, they were each sentenced to two years in prison.Amelia's sentence was suspended since she was pregnant, but she still lost her freedom for two years.I rega

I listened for a while before it finally hit me that Amelia was the madwoman speaking.Two years had passed since I last saw her. Her voice was rough and hoarse, a far cry from the delicate woman I once knew.I felt a surge of complicated emotions, but I knew that was exactly what she deserved. Her life had fallen apart without me.For Daphne's safety, I tried my best to calm her. "You had your happy moments too. When we got married, I wasn't as wealthy as I am right now, so I planned to give you the villas as a gift after we had a baby. "And our wedding was simple because my mom was dying."The thought of Mom brought tears to my eyes, and I sincerely continued, "I'm still grateful to you for fulfilling my mom's final wish."Amelia lowered her knife, and her face was streaked with tears as she looked at me. "Mason, you're not lying, are you? You used to love me, didn't you?"I nodded. "I wouldn't have married you if I didn't."A flash of manic joy crossed her eyes, and she sud
