MY CRUEL HUSBAND CHAPTER 58
PAIN OF REGRET Michael's POV She had planned everything–their secret wedding seven days to the time. The woman I thought is my wife is about to marry off to my rival and enemy in business. I stared at the message, then at her. And in that moment, I understood the full depth of my ruin.I had lost Anne. I had married a deception. And now, even my home felt like a stranger. Too late. Far too lateMoments later, she came down the stairs slowly, her face drained of color.She didn’t need to say anything. I already knew.“You are getting married next week.” I asked, my voice dangerously calm. She looked at me with great shock. “Don't you?” I stared at the message, then at her.I extended the phone to her, she hesitated for a short time before she fearfully accepted it from me. She held up the phone with trembling hands. Her hands began to shake, guilt clothed her from head to toe.“You're marrying off to a strange man while you are still legally married to me. It is totally strange and

I AM COOKED!Michael's POV I went upstairs like a man walking toward his own execution.The bedroom door creaked as I pushed it open, and the familiar scent of the room—our room—hit me with cruel force. Everything looked the same. The bed. The curtains. The framed wedding photo on the wall, smiling lies frozen in time. My legs gave way.I sank onto the edge of the bed, elbows on my knees, head bowed. For the first time in years, I couldn’t think straight. My thoughts collided, shattered, refused to form sense. The rage that had carried me moments ago drained away, leaving something far worse behind which is pain.A hot sting burned behind my eyes. I clenched my jaw, determined not to break. But betrayal has a way of humiliating even the strongest resolve. A tear slipped free. Then another.I laughed once—short, broken. Look at you, Michael, betrayed, foole, reduced to tears by a woman you trusted with your name, your home, your future.I had given up everything for her. Everything!A

THE REGRET Michael’s POVI don’t remember deciding to go to the club. I only remember driving.The city lights blurred past me as if they were running away too, neon streaks cutting through the dark like open wounds. My hands were tight on the steering wheel, knuckles white, jaw locked so hard my teeth ached. Every breath burned.Her face kept flashing before me. The room and the stranger. The sound.I hit the brakes outside a nightclub I’d been to once—long ago, when recklessness still felt like freedom. Music thumped through the walls, heavy and aggressive, vibrating the pavement. I parked without care and stepped inside, letting the noise swallow me whole.The smell of alcohol, sweat, and false laughter hit me instantly.“Wine,” I barked at the bartender, dropping into a stool. “Your the most exotic.”He didn’t ask questions. He just poured. I drank like I was trying to drown something that refused to die.Glass after glass burned down my throat. The music grew louder. The lights

I CAUGHT HERMichael’s POVI didn’t know that a life could fracture in a single night.When I pulled into the driveway, the mansion stood the way it always did—tall, immaculate, quiet. The kind of quiet that used to mean peace. I turned off the engine and sat there longer than necessary, my forehead resting briefly against the steering wheel. Work had drained me. Meetings, contracts, decisions that never seemed to end. All I wanted was rest. Home.I drove inside the open space in front of my mansion, stepped out gently because I can't even rush out. I was exhausted.I stepped inside, loosening my tie as the door shut behind me.The living room lights were low. Too low. The house felt… off. Not silent—just unnaturally still, as if it were holding its breath.Then I heard it. A sound drifted down from upstairs.At first, I convinced myself it was nothing. The air conditioner. A television left on. But the sound came again—soft, breathy, unmistakably human. My stomach tightened.I stood

POSSIBLE CASEAnne's POV “Thank you for giving me the chance to express my love to you,” Maxwell tendered his appreciation to me, still holding my hand tightly. His cheeks flushed with quiet admiration and excitement.I looked down to grab my drink on the table. “I would be happy if love doesn't betray me this time. I would be exceedingly grateful.” I sipped from the cup and settled it on the table. A short moment of silence stretched between us, and I am sure my word caused it. Probably thinking I am still doubting his sincerity but past affection had damaged my heart seriously.“Are you doubting my sincerity, Anne?” He asked, very curious and urgent. I dropped his hand, fixed my eyes on him before I could speak. “No,” I replied firmly, my voice sounded hollow. “But your word said it.” He insisted, desperately staring into my eyes for a quick answer and confirmation.I feigned surprise. My face darkened and my eyes narrowed. “I didn't! I only wish love should not hurt me like th

CLING TO ANOTHER HOPEAnne's POVI read the message once. Then again.And a third time—slowly, deliberately, as though the meaning might change if I lingered on it long enough.I know you have suffered heartbreak and betrayal from a past marriage and relationship, but I promise to keep you and marry you. I love you with all my heart, and I won’t betray you. I give you my assurance. Even if you don’t trust me yet, give me a chance to prove it.My chest rose with a deep inhale that felt heavier than it should have been.This is how it always starts, a voice inside me whispered.Give me a chance. Trust me. I’m not like the others.I closed my eyes briefly, the kitchen light blurring behind my lashes.“This is how they begin,” I murmured to the empty room. “With promises. With certainty. Until everything collapses.”Yet even as the words left my mouth, they didn’t feel solid enough to hold me in place.I set the phone face-down on the counter and turned back to the stove, forcing myself in
