Oscar rushed to Petra's side the moment her body crumpled to the ground, his knees hitting the cold stone hard as he gathered her carefully into his arms.

The heat of the day pressed down on them mercilessly, the bright afternoon sun illuminating every horrifying detail with unforgiving clarity, her lips stained red, her skin drained entirely of color, her chest rising and falling in shallow, uneven gasps that grew weaker with every passing second.

"Petra… Petra, look at me," he pleaded, panic

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 142: The Second Vial

    Petra was crying openly now, her tears soaking into Oscar's shirt as though she was trying to leave a part of herself with him before everything faded away completely. Her breathing came shallow and broken, every single inhale now a visible, painful effort."Oscar…" she whispered, her voice trembling like glass about to shatter into pieces. "I've lived a life of loneliness."Her words came slow and heavy, as if each one had to be dragged up laboriously from deep within her failing chest."People mocked me for being an orphan," she continued weakly, her voice barely above a whisper. "No parents… no real home… I was always the extra one, the unwanted one."Oscar shook his head frantically, tightening his hold around her as though his arms alone could somehow keep her alive against everything working against them."Don't say that," he said hoarsely, his voice thick with emotion. "You're not alone. You've never been alone."But Petra barely seemed to hear him at all.Her eyes brimmed wit

    Oscar rushed to Petra's side the moment her body crumpled to the ground, his knees hitting the cold stone hard as he gathered her carefully into his arms.The heat of the day pressed down on them mercilessly, the bright afternoon sun illuminating every horrifying detail with unforgiving clarity, her lips stained red, her skin drained entirely of color, her chest rising and falling in shallow, uneven gasps that grew weaker with every passing second."Petra… Petra, look at me," he pleaded, panic clawing violently at his throat.Blood continued to trickle steadily from the corner of her mouth, warm against his trembling fingers. Her body felt frighteningly light in his arms, as though life itself was already slipping quietly away from her, drop by drop.She tried to breathe, but each inhale came accompanied by a faint, broken sound, as if her lungs could no longer manage to keep pace with what her body needed.Around them, chaos erupted instantly.Some people gasped audibly. Others step

    "Pete, doesn't he look like a dog right now?" Zoe said mockingly, her laughter sharp and clear, ringing out across the open air with cruel amusement."It's not that he looks like one," Pete replied coldly, his gaze fixed steadily downward at the man still kneeling before him. "He is one."Oscar remained on his knees upon the red carpet that had been rolled out earlier for distinguished guests, the fabric now creased and dulled by dust and quiet humiliation.His spine remained straight, his palms resting calmly against his thighs, but the strain visible in his jaw betrayed the true weight he was carrying beneath that composed exterior."Oscar, get up!" Petra cried out. She stumbled forward and dropped to the ground beside him. "Please… get up. I don't want the medicine anymore."Her voice was hoarse, raw from begging, from fear, from pain she could no longer manage to hide. Her body leaned heavily against him, her breath coming uneven and shallow with every passing second.Oscar turne

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 139: Crawl

    Petra lifted her trembling gaze toward Oscar, her eyes red and glossy, silently pleading with him without a single word needing to be spoken. She shook her head slowly, a desperate refusal written plainly across every line of her face.Then she turned toward Pete, her lips pale and bloodless, her voice barely holding itself together under the strain."Pete, don't push it," she said weakly, each word costing her more than the last. "Please."Pete's brows slammed together instantly, his expression darkening. "Why are you so agitated?" Pete snapped fiercely, his voice echoing loudly across the open space between them.The words had barely left his mouth when Petra's strength finally gave out completely.Her knees buckled violently beneath her, and she bent forward, coughing uncontrollably, the sound tearing raw and painful through the surrounding silence, frightening everyone within earshot.Oscar reacted instantly, wrapping one arm firmly around her waist and pulling her against his c

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 138: Kneel and Crawl

    "Petra, shut up."Pete's voice cut through the hall like a blade, sharp and utterly merciless, slicing through the tension that had been building around them for what felt like an eternity. Every murmur died instantly, as though the very walls themselves had been ordered into silence. His eyes were cold, fixed directly on Petra with a sternness that carried absolutely no patience, no compassion whatsoever."I get that you don't like Zoe," he continued, his tone rising steadily with restrained irritation simmering just beneath the surface, "but can you not treat her life as a joke? This is a life-saving medicine for her."Those words struck Petra harder than any physical slap ever could have managed.For one long, agonizing moment, the world tilted beneath her feet. Her fingers curled slowly into a tight fist at her side, nails digging deep into her palm as though the sharp pain was the only thing still keeping her grounded to reality.Beside Pete, Zoe lowered her head slightly, as

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 137: A Cold, Cutting Smile

    Pete walked out of the auction hall with long, decisive strides, his fingers interlocked tightly with Zoe's, moving with the kind of purposeful certainty that dared anyone to question him. The bright lights spilling from behind them poured onto their backs, casting long shadows that stretched across the polished marble floor like unfinished accusations waiting to be spoken aloud.Around them, murmurs rose and fell in waves, confused, indignant, endlessly curious. The very air itself seemed unsettled, as though the auction hall had not yet recovered from what had just unfolded upon that stage only moments before.Zoe leaned slightly toward Pete, her lips curving into a smile she tried, and utterly failed, to hide. Behind them, Petra staggered forward, her legs unsteady beneath her."Pete, stop right there!"Her voice cut through the hall, strained and hoarse, carrying more raw desperation than actual volume. The chatter around them died down almost instantly. Heads turned in uniso

    Before his househelp could say another word, he bounced the door shut, she shivered outside the room, her eyes widened, her heart racing.The loud sound of the door slamming echoed through the upstairs hallway, leaving Nicole standing there stiffly like someone who had just narrowly escaped danger.

    Pete rushed out of the café, his breathing rough and uneven as he stumbled after Zoe and the man walking ahead together. The cold night breeze hit his face repeatedly, but it did nothing to cool the anger and humiliation burning through him.His eyes remained locked on the pair ahead, especially on

    “Get me a nanny,” Pete said harshly, his phone pressed tightly against his ear while he paced restlessly around the sitting room.His voice carried irritation and exhaustion, the kind that came from a man whose life had collapsed too quickly for him to regain balance.“Sir?” the lady on the other e

    “Eric, trust me.” Pete said, reaching forward with both hands as though his words alone were not enough to convince him, his fingers wrapping tightly around Eric’s hands in a desperate attempt to hold him in place. “Once I have the money, I can start over. Trust me, okay?”His voice carried a strai
