Chapter 5

Penulis: Perfect Timing
I had the driver take me to Kyle and Winnie's so-called "love nest".

Once I was at the large apartment downtown, I rang the doorbell.

Winnie opened the door, dressed in a silk nightgown. When she saw me, she froze.

"Who are you looking for?"

I could see a hint of wariness in her eyes.

I smiled and said, "I'm here to see Kyle."

Winnie's expression shifted, and she scanned me up and down. "You... Who are you?"

"His wife," I said.

The moment I said those words, I could clearly see the col

    I looked down at Kyle, my eyes cold. "Where's the diary?"The smile on Kyle's face froze. He reacted quickly and crawled up from the floor, putting on a smug look. "You want the diary? Sure."He rubbed his hands together and named an outrageous price. "Give me a million dollars. No, ten million! Arrange a new identity for me and send me overseas. Only then will I give you the diary. I promise I'll never show up in front of you again!"He thought he had found my weakness, but I simply laughed. "Kyle, I think you've misunderstood something."I stepped forward and took the diary from his hand. "What makes you think you're in a position to negotiate with me?"I tore the diary to pieces right in front of him, page by page. Then I threw them into the burn barrel beside me. Flames leaped up and swallowed the scraps of paper instantly.Kyle stared with eyes wide, as if he was overwhelmed by the shock. "You... What are you doing? Are you insane?""Insane?" I looked at him, my smile

    I had Dane contact the boss running the biggest illegal gambling den in that run-down neighborhood, a man called Little Vinnie.I gave Little Vinnie a sum of money and had him set a trap to lure Kyle in.Little Vinnie was sharp. Once he took the money, he handled things quickly. First, he sent someone to approach Kyle "by chance" and tell him there was a fast way to make money. A desperate man like Kyle took the bait without much effort.They then took Kyle into Little Vinnie's gambling den.At first, Little Vinnie let him win a few small rounds, giving him a taste of success.

Little Vinnie "generously" lent him the money. With a terrifyingly high interest rate, of course.In less than three days, Kyle owed Little Vinnie more than one hundre

    The divorce went smoothly. Kyle's leg was broken, and he was lying in the hospital, abandoned and pathetic.When my lawyer threw the divorce papers and a thick stack of evidence in front of him, he didn't even have the strength to fight back. The evidence detailed how he had drugged me over the past three years, transferred my assets, and kept a mistress on the side.Any one of those things would have been enough to destroy his reputation and put him in prison.He knew better than to fight it and signed, leaving him with nothing.Legally, he and I had nothing to do with each other anymore, but I knew this wasn't over. What I wanted was not just a divorce… I wanted him to pay for everything he had done to me.After Kyle was discharged from the hospital, he and Jessica were evicted by their landlord and ended up on the streets. He called me, begging me to take them in.I didn't answer.Later, he somehow found Dad's company and waited downstairs every day, wanting to see me. My

    I put everything I had into that slap on Kyle's face. His face swelled right before my eyes, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. The slap left him stunned. He covered his face, staring at me blankly.Winnie was terrified, too. She curled up in the corner of the couch, trembling."You… Aren't you..." Kyle's voice shook. "Aren't you sick?""Sick? Didn't you cure me of it?" I smiled coldly.He finally realized this had all been a trap. A trap that I had set just for him. His face changed color, from pale to even more pallid. In the end, he collapsed to the floor as if he had lost all his strength."No... Impossible!" he muttered to himself, unable to accept the truth. Everything he had worked so hard to build, the control he had been so proud of, all collapsed in that single moment.I couldn't be bothered to look at him again, and I walked over to the oil painting. The painting showed my mom's favorite sunflowers. It had once hung in my bedroom, and it was the fir

Who are you?""His wife," I said.The moment I said those words, I could clearly see the color drain from her face. She stood there stunned for a long time before scoffing, as if she had just heard the biggest joke in the world. "His wife? His wife is some lunatic he has kept locked up at home for years. Do you even know who you're impersonating?"It looked like Kyle had told her plenty about my "glorious past". I wasn't angry, though. I simply leaned against the doorframe and watched her calmly."Really? Then why don't you call him and ask whether that lunatic wife of his looks

    I didn't say anything to Kyle. Kyle seemed to sense something, and his tone softened. "Aria, calm down, alright? Can you come home? I know I was wrong, and I shouldn't have yelled at you. Just come home, and I'll apologize. Where are you? I'll come pick you up."He was still using the same lies to manipulate me.How ridiculous."Kyle," I said calmly. "Let's get a divorce."The other end immediately went silent.A few seconds later, he laughed in a mocking tone. "Divorce? Aria, are you relapsing again? Did you forget what the doctor said? You can't survive on your own out there. You won't even be able to feed yourself if you leave me. Stop throwing a tantrum like a child and tell me where you are."His tone was full of condescension and manipulation. In his eyes, I was someone useless who couldn't live without him."You'll know where I am soon," I said.I hung up and blocked his number.After that, my dad walked in and handed me a folder. "This is everything on Kyle, in
