On their seventh wedding anniversary, Kimberly Williams discovered a divorce agreement in Richard Munoz's nightstand drawer. It was covered in scribbles and cross-outs, as if he'd agonized over the decision time and again. [If I fall in love with someone else during the marriage, I voluntarily give up all my assets and leave with nothing. Here's the list of properties.] He'd originally vowed to walk away penniless for her sake, but in the asset section, he'd crossed things out one by one. First, he struck through the house he planned to give her, then changed the $50 million to $500,000. Finally, in a ruthless scrawl, he added: [Better if Kimberly leaves with nothing. Can't help it. Lotta is pregnant.]

In the Wake of the Shattered Promises Chapter 24
The damning footage came from the private investigator.After confirming her pregnancy, Lotta had undergone another detailed anatomy scan, and once again, it had revealed supermale syndrome.Frustrated, she'd stormed into the woods near the hospital, lighting up a cigarette and shedding her usual mask of sweet innocence.Moments later, a man appeared in the frame. She stubbed out the cigarette and snapped at him, "This is all your fault—twice now with supermale. What kind of cursed genes run in your family? Listen, I'm keeping this kid no matter what. I need it as leverage to bleed Richard dry."The guy wrapped his arms around her, all sweet-talking. "Babe, don't stress. Once you pop out the kid and we've squeezed him for all he's worth, we'll skip town together. We can dump the kid on him and watch him suffer for the rest of his days."Lotta's expression softened a bit. "Why don't we run a few more of those old scams in the meantime? Richard has cut off my allowance. I need to hu

Kimberly felt utterly speechless.Too drained to engage further, she simply drove away, but in the rearview mirror, his forlorn, defeated figure lingered on the sidewalk.Later, her private investigator reported that Richard had unleashed a brutal beating on Lotta, ultimately causing her to miscarry.Her social media posts about the pregnancy abruptly ceased.Three days later, Kimberly's assistant burst in, wide-eyed with urgency. "Madam, someone's dragging your name through the mud online!"Checking the trends, Kimberly saw the glaring headline dominating the feeds: #HomewreckerKimberly.She tapped in, and there was Lotta facing the camera, sobbing, "After I married Richard, his ex-wife kept coming around to seduce him, and she even drove him to beat me until I lost my baby."Kimberly was painted as the villainous interloper crashing her marriage. To bolster her claims, she posted videos of Richard's verbal tirades and physical assaults.In one clip, he slurred drunkenly, "You

Richard's pupils contracted in disbelief. "What did you say?"He trembled, unable to process the revelation."I said, we once had a child," Kimberly repeated calmly. "The hospital has my records. Feel free to check them yourself.""W-Why didn't you tell me?" Richard shouted, desperation lacing his voice. "If you had, I would have come back to you and fixed everything."She regarded him with cold detachment. "The day I found out, I saw you escorting Lotta to her gynecology appointment. I overheard you promising her in the stairwell that you'd only ever want children with her and that you'd even get a vasectomy to prove it. If my child were destined to grow up without a father's love, why subject them to such a cruel world? I did that to grant your wish and spare my baby from the pain."Richard stood frozen for a few seconds before crumbling under the weight of his emotions.In a blind rage, he lunged at Lotta like a feral beast, his fists raining down on her without mercy. "This i

Upon learning about Jennifer's paralysis, Elmer, who had just secured a piece of land, returned to praise Kimberly, "You did well. Villains like her deserve every bit of punishment they get."She smiled, "This won't affect your family. Don't worry."Just then, Richard's haunting message arrived once again.[Kimberly, let's talk. Come back to me, and I won't pursue the accident involving my mother. I promise I will love you for the rest of my life.]Irritated, she intended to fire back a scathing reply.Elmer embraced her from behind and whispered in her ear, "I've got a brilliant idea to punish them."She didn't quite grasp what he meant, but the very next day, Richard began bombarding her phone with frantic calls."You're ruthless!" he seethed through gritted teeth, his voice cracking with a mix of rage and sobs. "I've humbled myself completely. Don't you care at all? You want me to..."Before he could finish, the line erupted with sounds of uproar, followed by abrupt silence
