Hidden Husband: Replaced by Her First Love

The concern in Ashley's voice warmed my heart. But when I thought of that so-called home, I couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating laugh."I came out to buy a few things and forgot my keys."Ashley didn't call me out on my flimsy lie. I wanted to pay her back for my medical bills, but when I checked my pockets, I realized I hadn't brought a single thing with me after being kicked out of the house. Ashley waved it off dismissively. "Don't worry about it. Consider it a Christmas gift, since you're our top salesperson."Ashley bought me a new set of clothes and a new phone as well. Before leaving, she looked at me. "Wesley, the company has a project overseas, and we need more people on board. If you're up for it, give me a call. If everything goes well, I'll make you the general manager of that branch." She gave me a quick nod before turning to leave. During my marriage to Faith, I often had to juggle my career with holding the household together. Whenever the company n

Whenever we tried for a baby, Faith would claim she wasn't feeling well to avoid being intimate with me. That was why we still didn't have any kids after all this time.Henry seemed to think he hadn't humiliated me enough and sent me another message. It was a photo of Faith wearing a sexy lace nightgown. In the picture, she looked incredibly alluring, desire shining in her eyes. It was a stark contrast to how cold and detached she was with me. And the background was actually the bedroom I had shared with her for so many years. Suddenly, I found it hard to breathe. I never imagined that my aloof wife could look like that in front of another man. And of all places, in our bedroom too.I had completely lost all hope in Faith. I then forwarded the photo and the pregnancy test report to my lawyer and asked him to start drafting the divorce papers.Over the next two days, I remained in the hospital. Faith never came to see me. She had gone to watch the meteor shower with Henry instead

"You don't have to come in to work tomorrow," Ashley said. "I hope you understand."The security had already boxed up all my things and left them by the office door. I felt completely hopeless as I watched the life I had finally gotten back on track fall apart again. I couldn't help but pull my phone out and unblock Faith. I wanted to ask her why she had to do this."Will you only be satisfied once you've destroyed me?" I cursed at her. But the second I unblocked Faith on social media, I noticed that she had just made a new post. It was a photo of her and Henry soaking in a hotel bathtub together.The caption read, "You're the one I never want to lose."I calmed down upon seeing the photo. If I called her right now, it'd only turn into another fight where I vented my frustration.That'd be letting those two get off far too easily.I made up my mind to get revenge on Faith and Henry. I saved the recent posts she had made on social media and sent them to my lawyer. At the sa

During the entire process, Faith said nothing, looking as though she had been wronged. But Henry was looking at me smugly. This was exactly what he wanted. As soon as we were outside the courthouse, Faith wanted to say something, but I walked away without looking back.From that day on, I never wanted to see her again.When I returned to work, my colleagues congratulated me on finally getting out of a toxic marriage. My situation was no longer a secret. Amid the applause, someone gave me a thumbs-up. "Buddy, you did the right thing."The kindness of the people who barely knew me brought me great comfort.Later, I threw myself into work. Very quickly, I completed a task that should have taken a year, finishing it three months ahead of schedule.Mr. Smith, the chairman, was pleased. Not only did he make me general manager, but he also assigned me several high-value projects, which I completed successfully as well. Slowly, I began to establish myself in the company. Today, Mr

Once the crowd realized who Henry really was, they quietened down. I took advantage of the moment and asked, "Could your invitation be fake too?"The head of security immediately came to his senses and asked to check Henry's invitation. He turned to flee, but the other guards pinned him to the ground, making it impossible for him to move.Faith seemed to finally catch on to what was going on. Despite everything, her emotions got the better of her, and she still hurried forward to help him break free. "Let him go. Don't you know who he is? He's one of the best venture capitalists in the financial industry. Many people would do anything to get his help. Let him go!"Seeing that Faith still refused to accept the truth, I took out my phone and pulled up the information I had saved long ago."Face the reality, Faith. Henry's just a scammer. Back then, you left me because you wanted to live a better life with him, didn't you? Now he's going around, conning people just to get by. I supp
