Sinopsis

Tragic Love

Plot Twists

Male POV

CEO

Cheating

Regret

At gatherings in our circle, people always bring up a joke. "The Snow family's worthless son-in-law cannot have children, so he keeps sending other men to Grace Snow's bed. How I wish my man had that kind of awareness." What they do not know is that all of those men are arranged by my father-in-law in my name. Grace throws the first one out and has a huge argument with me. Then, she buys me a luxury watch worth over a hundred million dollars to cheer me up. The second time a man is sent to her, she immediately feels sick after only touching his hand. We argue again. This time, she buys me a manor, saying that I'm the only one she wants by her side. But when it comes to the tenth one… She closes the door and does not come out all night. We stop arguing, and we stop speaking to each other. Everyone thinks I will do anything to secure my place in the Snow family and will cling to them for the rest of my life. But when I take out the divorce agreement, no one believes it—including Grace herself.

Chapter 1
I quietly sat on the couch in the living room after the innocent-looking college student, Clarence Nolan, followed my wife, Grace Snow, into the bedroom.I ended up listening to their intimate noises for the entire night.Dawn had just broken on the horizon when Grace stepped out of the room while wearing a sexy nightdress.Disgust roiled in my gut when I smelled the cloying scent of their lovemaking that wafted out from the open door.Grace approached me and asked coldly, "Are you satisfied now?"I looked up at her and retorted, "I think you should be the one who's satisfied."Grace suddenly lost her temper and exclaimed, "You're the one who keeps setting me up with different men every day! You're the one who wants me to give birth to an heir for the Snow family."Besides, you're probably bored of me now since we've been married for a decade. I'll grant your wish then. I swear that I'll never share the same room as you ever again from this day on! Also, I want you to send Clare

I didn't want to get into a drawn-out argument with Grace, so I pulled out a second divorce agreement, saying, "I agree to leave without taking anything except my own belongings in this agreement. Go ahead and sign it."Grace slapped her hands on the desk and leaped to her feet. "Are you that eager to leave me?" she roared furiously.Her phone started ringing before I could get a word in. The color drained from her face when she accepted the call. Seconds later, she delivered a hard slap across my face, leaving three deep scratches on my cheek."Didn't I tell you to send Clarence to college? Why the hell did you run off to prepare a divorce agreement instead? Clarence got into an accident! "You're such a useless piece of trash, Zack Keaton! You lived a life of luxury for so many years on my penny, but did you ever do anything to repay me?"You want to get a divorce, right? Fine!"Grace signed the second divorce agreement before throwing it in my face. "Let's go! Come with me to

"Don't forget that we'll be getting our divorce certificates later, Grace," I said.The gentle expression on Grace's face vanished and was replaced by disdain."You're just a househusband who's already in his 30s. You haven't worked for the last decade, and yet you believe that you can provide for yourself in the future? Everyone knows that it's impossible for you to divorce me. Besides, hasn't it always been your wish for me to have a child?"Go check on Ruth. I'll spend some time alone with Clarence."I felt like a zombie as I made my way over to Ruth's hospital room. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I looked at her thin face.Mom and Dad died early. Ruth was three years younger than me, and we depended on each other to survive.Ruth was sexually assaulted by the heir of a wealthy family during the first year that Grace founded her business.I wanted to make a police report, but Grace stopped me, saying that the heir had agreed to make a large investment that would change the

A wealthy woman, whom I had befriended for the sake of Grace's business, was calling me. She sent an invitation to a charity auction to me and said, "My husband's not in the country. Why don't you attend this auction with me?"At first, I planned to reject her invitation. However, my heart skipped a beat when I laid eyes on one of the items that was being auctioned.It was an emerald bracelet—the family heirloom that I had pawned to fund Grace's business. I had sold it for 1.2 million dollars at that time.I wanted to get the bracelet back after Grace's business started taking off, but someone else had already bought it.I clenched my fists. I had about 10 to 20 million dollars in the bank account where Grace transferred my allowance. I was determined to reclaim the bracelet no matter the cost.…I hadn't expected to see Grace and Clarence at the auction."I'll be moving into the villa tonight, Zack," Clarence said. "I'll be in your care from now on."Grace also barked her orde

Unfortunately, the stack of documents only consisted of organ transplant consent forms.All the recipients were wealthy people. I had also seen some of the donors' names online because they had been in the news for being lured to Corombina.It was obvious what had happened, but there wasn't enough conclusive evidence to prove that Grace had been responsible for the illegal organ trading.I felt dazed when I left the police station.The rain had stopped, but my heart still felt incredibly hollow.My phone was buzzing constantly. I didn't have to look at the screen to know that Grace was calling me.After being married to her for the last decade, I didn't have any other friends except for the wealthy wives who I had befriended for the sake of her business.I walked along the road for the next ten minutes before the screeching sounds of brakes cut through the air. A few seconds later, a black Jeep stopped next to me.A cheerful voice resounded from within the Jeep as a woman wound

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Grace agreed to leave the Snow family's fortune to me and our child. The only thing that you'll get is the title of the Snow family's son-in-law!" Clarence exclaimed, bursting into laughter.I had accidentally put the phone on speaker mode when I answered the call earlier, which allowed Ashley to hear every word that he said.Rage burned in Ashley's eyes as she slammed her fist against the steering wheel.I remained calm and asked, "Were you responsible for what happened to Ruth?""So what if I am? Do you have proof? Do you think that I'll be scared of you? No one's going to be willing to conduct an investigation for a househusband like you who doesn't have any connections."On top of that, my child and I are extremely important to the Snow family now. Do you think they'll blame me for being nosy or blame you for causing a fuss?"I scoffed and said, "I'm sure that you don't want to just be Grace's kept lover for the rest of your life, Clarence. As long

We shared all our meals back then, but I didn't feel as if we were suffering because our lives were filled with hope and love.I had to give credit where it was due—Grace had a talent for business.It didn't take long for her to make connections with people with spare money on their hands and convince them to start a company with her.To ensure that she would have absolute authority, I sold the family heirloom that Mom left me and used all the money I had to help her become the biggest shareholder.Looking back on the past, I realized that the wonderful love that I shared with Grace had just been a massive illusion. Everything that she did was just a part of her scheme.I eventually fell asleep to the sound of the rain and thunder.…Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.I had no idea what Clarence did, but Grace stopped contacting me.I held up my hand and counted down the days with my fingers. There were only three days left before I would be free.What would I do? Wher

I shot an icy look at Clarence and hissed, "Well, you don't look like someone who can knock someone up."The smile on his face disappeared in an instant. In the next second, he poured his red wine all over himself and let out a surprised yelp."I know that you hate me, Zack. You can punish me however you like, but at the end of the day, I'm still the father of the baby in Grace's belly. She won't be able to have a peaceful pregnancy if you keep acting out like this."Just then, an intimidating voice boomed from behind me, "You're just a useless man who can't even get your wife pregnant. I won't forgive you if anything happens to Grace's baby."The newcomer was none other than Grace's father, George. A tall and beautiful woman was hanging on his arm, looking like she wasn't even in her 30s.The corners of my lips curled up into a smile. I reached out and grabbed a wine glass before splashing it in Clarence's face. "I didn't splash wine on him earlier, but I just did."Clarence let

I chuckled as I pulled out the divorce certificate from my bag and tossed it on the ground."I'm not your husband anymore. We're divorced now!" I shouted."I can't believe you were actually serious about getting a divorce," Grace exclaimed. "Fine. So what if we're divorced? We were together for so many years. I'm sure that you don't want the father of my child to be a criminal."I laughed even louder upon hearing her words. "Still protecting him even now, huh? The child growing within you doesn't belong to him, you fool! I conducted an investigation on him. He has extremely low sperm motility." It was clear that Grace still didn't believe me. "You're just jealous because I've been indulging him. That's why you're spreading these rumors! But you're also the one who pushed me into another man's bed, so why are you causing a fuss now?"I scoffed and said, "I'll reveal the truth to you today, Grace. The one who's been setting you up with those men is your own father. He was worried t
