Dumped My GF for Playing Mom to Another Man's Kid

I let out a mocking laugh.So that was the urgent matter Rowena absolutely had to handle?I grabbed a chair and smashed it against the wall, shattering our wedding photo. Then, I called in the cleaners and had them throw out everything in the room that had anything to do with Rowena.The next morning, I got up, washed up, and went to work.I could allow myself to be heartbroken, but I would never allow myself to fall apart.Maybe I had really been cursed with bad luck lately. On the way to work, a car made an illegal cut into my lane and hit me, injuring my leg.I was taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention.By sheer coincidence, I ran into Rowena just as she was coming downstairs with Adrian on her arm.The moment our eyes met, Rowena withdrew her hand from him and hurried over anxiously. "Justin, what happened to you?"I kept my expression flat. "It's nothing serious. I hurt my leg in a minor accident."She immediately revolved around me, rushing off to stand in li

At Theo's one-month milestone party, Rowena's best friends crowded around her and teased, "Rowena, you certainly kept us in the dark! We thought you and Justin were endgame, but who knew you'd secretly end up with your childhood friend instead?"But honestly, don't you think it's a waste to dump Justin? No matter how you look at it, he's leagues ahead of your childhood friend."Upon hearing that, Rowena instinctively frowned. "What are you talking about? Who said Adrian and I are together? And who said I dumped Justin?"Everyone looked confused. "Didn't you say it yourself? That you were the mother?""I've always treated Adrian like a younger brother," Rowena quickly explained. "The baby lost his mother the moment he was born. I became his godmother so he wouldn't grow up being bullied.""You should've told us that sooner, Rowena. With the way you set all this up, we thought this was your biological son!""And where's Justin, anyway? We haven't seen him at all. Don't tell me he's

The moment I met Clara's eyes, heat rushed straight to my face. I immediately propped myself up in bed. "That won't be necessary. I still have enough energy to eat on my own."The handmade pasta was perfectly chewy, coated in a rich sauce that tasted so good that it felt like my tongue might melt from the flavor.Clara watched me with a gaze that was filled with indulgence. She even reached over to ruffle my hair. "Slow down. No one's going to steal it from you."Once I finished the plate of pasta, the look in her eyes had shifted, turning distinctly more suggestive."Are you done eating?" she asked. "Then I guess we can finally get down to business."Coming from her at this hour, the words made my heart pound frantically against my ribs. But I also knew that if I kept avoiding it or trying to stall, I would just be playing coy.And so, I stood up with the air of someone marching off to battle. "Wait here. I'm going to shower."Clara's smile deepened. "Alright. I'll be waiting."

Rowena had a huge banner made and set herself up outside Clara's company, declaring that Clara was a homewrecker who used her power and wealth to steal another woman's fiance.That stunt quickly awakened the internet's "eat the rich" crowd."I can't stand these trust-fund brats. They think being born into money makes them better than everyone else.""Dirty money, every cent of it! If we all stop buying from them, they'll be bankrupt by morning!""Being a homewrecker is unforgivable! Boycott Sutton Group!All of Clara's companies were hit by a boycott, and their stock prices plunged right along with it. Because of that, we had no choice but to cut our honeymoon short and return to deal with Rowena.When I arrived, Rowena was still there, standing outside Sutton Group, clutching that banner and making a spectacle of herself.The second she saw me get out of the car, her eyes lit up, and she came running toward me.Clara moved to stop her, but I caught her by the arm and said, "Le
