Chapter 1

"She is the woman I love. From now on, she will live in this house."

"WHAT DO YOU SAY?" asked Alice in disbelief.

Though Alice was going to give a surprise because today was her wedding anniversary with her husband, named Morgan. It was their four-year anniversary.

However, when Alice opened the door of the house, her intention was to welcome Morgan, who had just returned from work. But what happened? Morgan came with a woman. The woman was held intimately by her husband.

"What did I say that wasn't clear enough, Alice?" Morgan smiled as if he had no guilt at all.

"Are you kidding?" asked Alice incredulously. Her hand that was holding the cake was shaking.

"What do you think?!" Morgan dismissed the cake from Alice's hand.

Alice was wide-eyed, even though she had painstakingly made the cake.

"So, who exactly is that woman, my husband?" Alice asked again.

"She's Fiona, the woman I love!" Morgan replied.

"And me?!" Alice shook her head. "I'm your wife, Morgan! You haven't forgotten, have you? And we're not divorced yet. Why would you bring another woman into our home?" Alice's heart hurt like a knife.

"Don't ask so many questions. I'm going to talk to you about something important," Morgan said.

Alice stared at Morgan, occasionally glancing at Fiona. Until this moment, Alice had tried to hold back the pain in her heart and not shed tears.

"Are you sure she'll be easily divorced by you? She's loved you so much all these years?" Fiona asked Morgan in front of Alice.

Alice was frozen in silence.

"I'm going to divorce her, and she'll agree to my divorce because all she needs is money, not me. She's just a replacement wife for me," Morgan said as he grabbed Fiona's hand.

"Morgan, you are too cruel." Alice could only stare at her husband, who was so intimate with another woman in front of her.

Yes, all this time, Morgan had only used Alice as a surrogate woman. And now, the woman he loved was back. Alice's role as his wife, according to him, had ended here.

"Alice, four years of marriage is enough for me, and I'm tired of you. From now on, we're going our separate ways," Morgan said.

"Don't you have any feelings at all, Morgan? You're divorcing me on our anniversary?" Alice smiled, even though her heart was crying.

Morgan opened her briefcase and took out a file.

"We're getting a divorce soon, and all you have to do is sign these divorce papers. I never loved you anyway," Morgan said as he opened the divorce papers.

"I don't want a divorce. I love you. So, don't divorce me. Please, Morgan." Alice tried to plead, hoping Morgan would change her mind.

"But Morgan doesn't love you! Wake up, Alice!" said Fiona, smiling mockingly at Alice, who was crying for Morgan.

"Morgan, what did I do wrong? I've been a loyal wife and always obeyed you. Is it because that slutty woman has been teasing you, huh?" Alice pointed at Fiona.

"Don't you dare accuse Fiona. Our marriage was a mistake in the past, so what's wrong with getting a divorce now? And remember, Fiona didn't flirt with me at all!"

No wonder Morgan's attitude had changed lately; it was because of a third person.

"Fiona is my girlfriend; I love her. Don't pretend to be sad; I will give you a lot of compensation if you agree to divorce me now." Morgan really didn't care about Alice's feelings, even though she kept crying in front of him.

"Fiona, please don't take away my husband. Don't be the third wheel in Morgan and my household," Alice came closer to pull Fiona's hand.

"What do you want? Morgan and I loved each other long before you married him. Why are you so ignorant? The third person is you, not me," Fiona retorted haughtily.

"Get your hands off me! Hurry up and sign the divorce papers. Feel this! Don't ever give Fiona a hard time." Morgan slapped Alice because he didn't like her saying Fiona was the third person between them.

"It hurts, Morgan! Why are you being so rude to me? What did I do wrong?"

However, Morgan ignored Alice.

"Fiona, you hurt your hand when you accidentally bumped into my assistant at the company. Does it still hurt now? That woman pulled your hand hard." Morgan was very worried about the injured Fiona, even though he had just slapped Alice hard.

Alice then pulled Morgan's hand, forcing him to look into her eyes. "Morgan, I don't want a divorce. I'm sure you're just mad at me. I know you love me."

After saying that, Alice ran to her room upstairs while wiping her tears. She entered the room and sat on her bed.

'It's been four years since we've been living in this household. I thought you loved me already. You told me it was love at first sight, and you helped me when my parents kicked me out of the house. Morgan, what did I do wrong? Please, tell me! Why do you have to love another woman' Alice cried alone in her bedroom.

While Alice was crying, Morgan went into the bedroom. The sound of his footsteps was heard by her, causing her to turn her head toward him.

"Are you satisfied, Morgan? Is this what you want? Why are you hurting me lately?"

"Alice, get out of our room. This room will be occupied by Fiona and me. Get your things and move them to the other bedroom immediately."

"No way! We're not divorced yet. You're kicking me out of our room just for that woman? Look at my sore cheeks, Morgan. You used to always care for me when I was sick. Why are you now defending another woman and even slapping me?"

"You get out right now: don't ask too many questions. The divorce papers are on the living room table, and from this moment onwards, you are no longer my wife."

"Let go of me! Don't be rude."

"Get out of here!" Morgan grabbed Alice's hand, dragging her out of the room.

"Morgan, please don't sleep with Fiona! Don't divorce me! I love you very much, and I'll do anything, but not like this!"

As Alice was being kicked out of the room, Fiona was at the front of the room. She looked at Alice, who was crying while knocking on Morgan's bedroom door.

"You should know by now that he loves me, not you. Get out of Morgan's life so he can be happy with me," she said.
