Chapter 3 The Agreement She Never Read

Cyrus and Daphne immediately stopped caressing each other at the sound of me clearing my throat.

When he saw me, he tightened his arms around her and gave me a taunting look. He was already upset that she had changed her phone ringtone, and now I'd practically delivered myself to him. To him, I'd just offered myself up as a target of his ire.

"You've got some nerve showing up here! What are you doing in my house?"

His house?

If I wasn't mistaken, this was Daphne's office, which meant it counted as marital property. If anything, it should've been my home. Nevertheless, I didn't feel like arguing with him about it.

"I'm here to drop something off."

He assumed I was trying another new trick to compete with him for her. However, he wasn't worried. After all, she was now carrying his child.

He took a few steps toward me, excitement written all over his face.

"Victor, there's something I need to tell you. Daphne's pregnant with my baby. She's going to be a mother! You should be happy for her, too. You know how badly she's wanted a child!"

I froze, unable to believe what I was hearing.

She then walked over, wrapped her arms around him, and smiled happily. "Victor, you can't blame me for this. I'm not getting any younger. If I don't have a baby now, I might never get the chance."

I could barely keep myself standing.

Daphne and I had two pregnancies during our marriage.

The first pregnancy had come at a bad time. We were poor, and both our careers were just starting to take off. She had an abortion without telling me, saying we could have children later.

The second time it happened, she had already been cheating on me.

When I first found out Daphne was cheating, I went to the hotel alone to catch her lover. Cyrus and I got into a fight. She rushed to help him, but he shoved her away. The doctor told us the baby hadn't survived.

I still remember how she reacted when she woke up in the hospital. She had sworn up and down that she'd never contact him again or cheat on me again. She even sent him away.

Things between us improved for a time, and I stayed by her side as she slowly recovered.

Alas, a leopard couldn't change its spots; the same could be said for Daphne. She brought Cyrus back to the fold in less than a year, going right back to sleeping together in hotels.

The only difference was that he no longer fought back whenever I went to catch them. He just let me hit him.

And now, they were having a child together.

I looked at the two despicable cheaters in front of me and slapped him across the face.

I slapped him so hard that he dropped to the floor.

The second his ass landed on the floor, he immediately started crying out that his head hurt from the slap.

Daphne instantly slapped me right back and glared at me viciously. "You're never going to change, are you? I might've let you bully him before, but he's the father of my child now. No one gets to touch him except me."

She scoffed. "I could give you a baby if you want one so desperately. However, you'll have to wait until after I have this baby!"

I couldn't believe how disgusting she had become.

I couldn't believe I'd spent all these years loving someone who was nothing but trash.

I didn't want to waste my breath arguing with trash like her anymore, so I threw the papers at her. "Sign them, and I'll leave right now!"

Daphne had already been uneasy about my change in behavior the day before. Regardless, her sharp mind escaped her in the heat of the moment as she quickly assumed I was pulling the fake-divorce-papers stunt again, thinking that I was throwing yet another tantrum.

So, she signed the agreement without even reading it.

"Don't you ever get tired of this same old trick? How long are you going to keep this up? What a joke."

Then, she grabbed Cyrus and rushed off to the hospital.

I felt a weight lifting off my shoulders upon seeing her careless signature on the divorce agreement.

After I took a moment to myself, I swiftly had a few people come in to trash the office. After all, the divorce agreement clearly stated that all of her shares in Aerosea Group would belong to me.

Now, Aerosea Group was mine for the taking.
