ログイン“You know I love your c*ck more than anything,” Julian moaned. My mind struggled to process what I saw, and my heart felt like it had stopped beating. I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. “Harder! Ugh.” That was Julian. My husband. The one I’d been married to for three whole years. My husband was having sex… with a man! *** Delilah is the definition of a trophy wife. Once an orphan with a rocky childhood, her life changes when she gets married to her knight in charming armor.

She’s desperate, drowning in dismay when a job interview leads her straight into the lion’s den: Calix Knight. Her ex-husband’s ruthless billionaire uncle.

Or has she finally met the one worth breaking every rule for?
もっと見るDelilah's POV
I should’ve stayed at the spa. That’s where Julian sent me this morning with a kiss on the forehead and two pre-booked treatments at Washington’s most expensive wellness resort. “You deserve a break, babe,” he’d said. “Our anniversary dinner can wait until I’m back.” But I’d had a better idea. A home-cooked meal. Candlelight. His favorite wine. Me in the dress he liked most. I wanted tonight to be special. I wanted to remind him how lucky we were and how perfect our marriage still could be, even if he’d been… off lately. So I skipped the spa, picked up groceries, and hummed through the aisles like a good wife in a romantic movie montage. But this wasn’t a movie. I knew something was wrong the second I pulled into our driveway and saw the door unlocked. Julian was supposed to be at a meeting, and the house should’ve been empty. I frowned but told myself it was nothing. Maybe he came home early, or perhaps he forgot to text me. Maybe he was also planning a surprise. I stepped inside, my arms full of grocery bags and my heart still holding onto hope. Then I heard it. A moan. Male. Guttural. “Take my dick, baby,” a voice growled from upstairs. I froze. My body locked up as my brain scrambled to make sense of what I’d just heard. My hand tightened around the bottle of wine in the bag, its neck sticking out like some cruel joke. I took a step forward. Then another. I didn’t want to go upstairs. My instincts screamed for me to turn around and walk out. But I had to see it. I climbed the stairs like I was walking to my own execution. Each step was louder than it should’ve been. Our bedroom door was open. And there they were. Julian, my husband. Naked. Breathless. Moaning. Pinned beneath his assistant. William. Thrusting into his ass like they’d done this a hundred times before. Like this was normal. A Routine. My vision blurred. Not from tears. Not yet. Just disbelief. Julian didn’t see me. Neither did William. They were too lost in each other. In their affair. Julian’s voice was breathy. “You know I love your cock more than anything.” My fingers slipped. The grocery bag fell to the floor with a dull thud, forgotten. All my attention was focused on the scene before me. My mind struggled to process what I saw, and my heart felt like it had stopped beating. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing "Harder! Ugh," that was Jullian, my husband. The one I had looked forward to cooking for. The one I had been married to for three whole years. I shivered involuntarily; My husband was having sex... With a man! I couldn't believe it; I couldn't believe my eyes. Jullian was being pinned to the bed by a man! A man I had considered a friend. Mr William, Jullian's personal assistant. He was pinning my husband down and drilling into him so hard they were both grunting and groaning. They looked so into it that they hadn't noticed me standing there or the sound of the grocery bag falling to the ground. My breath caught in my throat, and my hand instinctively covered my mouth. I didn't want to make a sound or want them to know I was there. I was paralyzed with shock and hurt, hoping it was all a dream. So this was why he had wanted me to go to an all day spa? So he could get me out of the house? Julian was my knight in shining armor. He was everything a girl dreamed of. He was charming, sweet, and extremely handsome, and he was also rich and the heir to his parents' million-dollar company. My life changed for the better after meeting him. After a few months of courting, he proposed, and our wedding was a dream come true for both my aunt and me. And suddenly, I forgot what it was like to struggle. Jillian never let me lift a finger; he treated me like a queen and showed me a whole new world I had never known existed. Even when the only family I knew, my aunt, passed away, my husband was always by my side and supported me through thick and thin. It was safe to say I was stupidly in love with my very perfect husband. How, then, could my perfect husband do this to me? Was this why he had been acting strange lately? Was this it? Was this the reason why I felt the distance between us growing? Was this the reason why I felt like our marriage had been falling apart? I’d suspected something was wrong for weeks. He stopped touching me, stopped looking at me like he used to. I’d blamed stress, work, grief, even myself. I thought maybe I wasn’t enough anymore. But this? This wasn’t stress. This was betrayal in its most humiliating form. I wasn’t just being left. I was being replaced by a man. One I’d cooked for. Welcomed. Trusted. "You love it, don't you? You love how this cock makes you feel, Jullian," I heard his assistant grunt. "You know I do," my so-called husband moaned a reply. My eyes widened in horror as I listened to Julian and his assistant's conversation. "I always want to be with you, Jullian; I don't like how we always have to be apart and pretend," Mr William said in an irritated voice. "You need to get rid of your wife as soon as possible. Divorce Delilah, and we can finally be together openly." I heard him say, and my heart broke even more. I choked on a sob as the tears fell even more, blurring my sight. Julian's response came between moans. "In time," he whispered. "I need to break the news to her gently." I felt like I was going to collapse. My legs trembled beneath me, and I had to grab the doorframe to steady myself. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Julian, the man I loved and trusted, was planning to leave me for his assistant. A man at that! His assistant's words were like a knife to my heart. "Delilah is not useful in any way," he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "You love me, and you should divorce her as soon as possible. She's just a burden, and you should throw that woman out on the street where she belongs." Mr Williams said. Julian's gentle chuckle was like a slap in the face. "I'll contact my lawyer as soon as possible," he said, his voice filled with amusement. “I'll make sure she gets out of my life for good." His assistant's response confirmed my worst fears. "Very good," he said. Delilah no longer needs to play the cover-up role." Julian's agreement was the final blow. "I agree," he said. "I'll do it very soon. I don't want anything to do with her anymore." I felt like I'd been living a lie. Every moment I'd shared with Julian, every laugh, every tear, every whispered promise... it was all a lie. I was a cover-up, not a wife. A cover-up, that was what I had been to Julian all along. And worst of all? I hadn’t even suspected this. I’d felt the distance, the cold touches, the way he avoided my eyes. But never in my darkest thoughts had I imagined he’d been living a double life right under my nose. How long had they laughed about me behind my back? How many nights had he left my bed to sneak into his?Third person povFour Years Later The New York humidity felt like a smothering blanket of summer air, pressed against the high windows of the room. Naomi stood by the mirror, her reflection a sharp, emerald silhouette in the floor-length silk of her gown. She lifted one hand, the movement slow as she ran a thumb over the cool, flawless fabric.The naive girl who had left New York for Yale four years ago was gone. That girl had been defensive, perpetually braced for the next blow. This woman had a degree from a top-tier university and a paid internship offer with a leading law firm. As she applied the final brush of lipstick, her hand was perfectly steady.“If you stare at yourself any longer, your father is going to send a search party,” Delilah’s voice cut through the silence, laced with its usual blend of affection and impatience.Naomi turned, a slow smile pulling at the corner of her mouth.Delilah was a vision of champagne sequins and an aggressive, confident shine—every inch t
Third person povOne year later, Naomi’s life no longer felt like something she was preparing for. Instead, it felt like something she was actively living, taking it one day at a time.The campus buzzed around her in a way that felt familiar—not loud, not overwhelming, just alive. Students moved about with purpose, laughter spilling from benches, conversations overlapping as though the air itself was carrying the stories. Naomi walked through it all with her bag slung over one shoulder, her steps unhurried and her posture easy.She wasn't lost here. She belonged.“Naomi!”She turned just as Maya, her new friend, barreled into her, nearly knocking her sideways.“Still tackling people instead of greeting them?” Naomi asked, laughing as she steadied herself.Leaving New York and her old friends behind, Naomi realized she needed new connections to navigate Yale Law School. Maya, a roommate and classmate, was one of the very first friends she made.Maya grinned. “What better way to show my
Third person povGraduation day arrived in a rush and Naomi woke up before her alarm, her heart already sprinting ahead of her like it was late for something important. The house was awake too, which felt illegal for the time. Doors opened and closed. Footsteps hurried. Someone dropped something metallic in the kitchen and muttered an apology to no one.She sat up, inhaled deeply and let out a loud exhale.Today was real. The day was finally here.Her room looked like a tornado with a degree in fashion passed through it. Her gown hung from the closet door in its bag. Shoes lined up like they were waiting for inspection. Hair tools scattered across her dresser.She pulled on a pair of leggings and an oversized shirt and stepped into the hallway just as Calix appeared at the end of it, dressed in his pajamas, expression composed but eyes warm.“Good morning to the latest graduate in town,” he teased.Naomi smiled despite herself. “Morning dad. You’re up early.”“I could barely sleep,”
Naomi's povOne month later, my life felt like it was running on a countdown clock that kept running fast.Graduation rehearsal was chaos disguised as organization.The heavy velvet of the graduation gown felt less like a garment and more like a costume—one I wasn’t quite ready to take off. I adjusted the mortarboard for the tenth time, the tassel tickling my nose until I shoved it back with a frustrated huff.“Naomi, if you fidget one more time, I’m pinning that cap to your scalp,” Sarah warned, though she was busy fighting her own battle with a safety pin and a loose hem.We were standing in the middle of the university’s gymnasium, a large space echoing with the screech of folding chairs being dragged across polished wood. One month. It had been thirty days since the chaos of finals had settled, and now, the reality was hitting me with the weight of a thousand textbooks.“It’s lopsided,” I muttered, leaning toward the reflective surface of a trophy case. “I look like a chef, not a
