Chapter 5

Author: Orangey
"Being a despicable, shameful mistress seems to bring you a lot of pride." I nearly laughed at the arrogance in Roseline's voice. "And to think you went to college—did you forget everything you learned?"

"You…" Roseline was so furious she could barely speak. "Don't get too cocky. I'm pregnant with Sebastian's child. You know how much he values having an heir.

"I'm unlike you who spent years by his side but did not bear a single child. Once I give him a son, do you think he'll let you keep the title of Mrs. Smith?"

"Alright then. Let's see if you're really capable of that."

I couldn't be bothered to argue with her any longer. I hung up, saved the recording of our conversation, and took screenshots of Sebastian's flirtatious texts and bank transfer records as evidence.

After handling everything, I leaned back on the couch and stared blankly out the window at the old tree, its leaves withering and yellowing with the season.

About ten minutes later, I saw Sebastian rushing through th

    I dumped all the evidence I had gathered onto the platform—proof that Roseline was the one behind the slander campaign, along with the filthy, disgraceful evidence of her affair with Sebastian.The public opinion flipped completely. I thought she would disappear without a trace out of shame.But I had underestimated her. Instead of retreating, she hired a lawyer and tried to claim a share of the inheritance."Even an illegitimate child has inheritance rights. Alexis Jones, I want 80% of Sebastian's assets. If you refuse, I'll take you to court indefinitely."I scoffed, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "And if I have evidence that the child in your womb isn't Sebastian's, do you still think you stand a chance?"On the other end of the call, Roseline went completely silent. It took her a long moment to finally ask, "How do you know?""Sebastian is the reason he and I never had a child all these years. He had severe oligospermia. My first pregnancy failed because his sperm quality wa

    I grabbed Gordon's phone and dialed for an ambulance frantically. My hands trembled as I pressed down on his bleeding abdomen, tears streaming uncontrollably down my face. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...""Alexis, this isn't your fault. Don't cry." His lips were pale, yet he still tried to comfort me. "It's okay. It doesn't even hurt.""Come here, Honey!" Sebastian's voice was filled with menace as he ordered me, "I'm taking you home."I snapped. "Sebastian, are you deaf? Can't you just stay out of my life? Your existence disgusts me!"For the first time, I let my pure hatred for him show. "If anything happens to Gordon, I will never forgive you.""Honey, I…"His phone rang—it was the custom ringtone he had set for Roseline. He picked up impatiently. "Didn't I tell you not to call me unless it was important… What? What happened to the baby? Go to the hospital first. I'll be there soon."As he hung up, he bolted for the door. But before leaving, he still refused to give up. "Honey, I

    "So you finally admit it." I laughed as tears streamed down my face.Back when Sebastian and I were struggling the most to build his business, I had been pregnant once. But life was hard—we often had to sleep on cold floors, and I had no money for proper prenatal care. In the end, I lost the baby.The doctor told me that it would be difficult for me to conceive again.I still remember how he had broken down in tears in front of me for the first time, soaking my shoulder with his remorse. He swore that he had failed me, that he hadn't protected me or our child. He promised that even if we never had children, he would love me just the same.Those vows still echoed in my ears, but the man standing before me now was a complete stranger.I roared in fury, "Get out! I don't ever want to see you again—except on the day we sign the divorce papers.""Not a chance."Seeing my unwavering stance, his eyes darkened with obsession and madness. He forcefully searched my body and pulled my room

    After requesting an extended leave from my boss, I boarded a flight abroad.Of course, before leaving, I didn't forget to send Sebastian the divorce papers I had prepared long ago, along with the evidence of his affair that I had gathered.If he had any sense, he would sign them.If not, things would only get ugly in the end.This trip had no fixed destination—I just wanted to get away, see new places, taste new foods. Life had to go on. There was no need to punish myself for someone else's mistakes."Alexis."When I saw Gordon standing on a foreign street corner, I thought I was imagining things. "Gordon? What are you doing here? What a coincidence! We've run into each other again.""What if I told you this isn't a coincidence…" He looked at me with an open, direct gaze. "But a pursuit I've planned for a long time?""You…" I stood frozen in place."Do you remember how I answered when Sebastian asked me why I was suddenly back?" He took a step closer. "I told him that there wa

    Even Gordon could tell that I had injured my foot, yet Sebastian hadn't even asked about it once.He held my arm gently. "Come, sit over here on this bench, and let me take a look at how bad it is."I felt embarrassed and quickly declined. "It's fine, Gordon. It's just a minor injury that's almost healed.""Don't you trust me?" Gordon smiled warmly. "Have you forgotten that I was the one who carried you to the infirmary and borrowed the doctor's medicated oil to massage your ankle when you sprained it while running back in college?"I had no choice but to sit still and let him examine my foot.My skin was fair, making the bruising on my ankle stand out even more.He frowned as he spoke in a slightly stern tone, "You call this not serious? You didn't even treat it properly after spraining it, did you? Does your husband not take care of you at all?"I bit my lip and was just about to say something when a sharp voice interrupted us."What are you two doing?" Sebastian strode over,

    During our hardest times, Sebastian and I had nowhere to live, so we squeezed into the tiny office at his company, sleeping on makeshift bedding on the floor. Sometimes, we were so broke that we could only afford one plate of pasta to share, and we didn't dare buy a single new piece of clothing for an entire year.I endured all those hardships with him, but I was genuinely happy back then. Life was tough, but his love for me was so sincere that it made me, someone who had lost both parents, feel like there was still someone in this world worth cherishing.So why now? Now that life had gotten better, now that we could finally enjoy everything we had worked so hard for—why did he cheat?No, I couldn't deceive myself any longer.He hadn't just cheated. He had gotten another woman pregnant.At that moment, I realized with painful clarity that there was no salvaging us.We had reached the end."Ah! Why did you push me?"Just as the sound of the door unlocking rang out, Roseline su
