When I'm at the hospital for a prenatal checkup, I find out that the husband of the woman sitting beside me is Rupert Hensley, a renowned businessman. It's such a coincidence. Rupert is my husband, too. As we chat, I learn that her husband isn't with her because he's out of town for a meeting. This is even more coincidental—my husband is also out of town for a meeting. After a long silence, I decide to get an abortion instead of going for my prenatal checkup. It's only when I later ask for a divorce that I remember he and I never registered our marriage in the first place.

Married to the Same Man Chapter 12
Side StoryRupert's parents had always controlled his life—picking his school, job, and even who he married. It left him wanting to show them he could stand on his own.He thought if he could just get strong enough, he'd finally be able to break free from their grip.But the problem was he didn't really have any personal connections. Even after he married Mavis, everything still stayed under his father's thumb.Then he met me. My family was well off, and I could offer him what he needed. On the outside, it seemed like I was the one chasing him, but instead, he was actually the one pulling all the strings.Everything played out the way he wanted.So when he saw the photo I sent, he freaked out. He was scared of losing me. He'd actually fallen for me after all these years together.Meanwhile, the reason Mavis got pregnant was that she had slipped something into Rupert's wine and slept with him.Rupert never saw it coming that I'd end up pregnant, too. When he found out I was expe

I was sent to the hospital. The cut from the knife wasn't too deep, but it'd scar if it weren't taken care of.To make sure I didn't end up with one, Seth showed up like clockwork every day to put the ointment on. He cared more about my injury than I did.Meanwhile, Rupert got arrested for assault, and everything went quiet for a while.When I left the hospital, I ran into Mavis at the entrance. She was standing in my path like she was waiting for me. She looked pretty worn out.It was the first time we'd run into each other since that party. We went to a café, and as soon as we sat down, Mavis apologized, saying, "Sorry for acting on impulse back then."I looked at her and took a sip of water before saying, "You were a victim, too.""I'm divorcing Rupert," she said, meeting my gaze.That was when I realized Rupert had lied to me about divorcing her, and bitterness began to stir inside me. It seemed like some people would never change."You didn't come all the way here just to

That night, I sat by myself on the couch, hearing the clock hit midnight and watching as the night slowly lit up with a soft glow. Ever since I found out Rupert had gotten married, I hadn't gotten a good night's sleep. Most nights, I had to rely on medication just to fall asleep, and my nerves were shot. I decided to change things up and bury myself in work. I bought a house in a small town outside the city and turned it into a guesthouse, keeping myself busy.It was around noon when Seth showed up one day. He walked toward me with a bunch of fresh, dewy roses. "Congrats on getting out of the mess. Here's to your new start."Seth? What was he doing here? I hugged the bouquet and stood there, surprised.Out of nowhere, Rupert showed up. His face twisted in anger when he saw Seth and me standing together."You're unbelievable, Janet! So this is the guy you've been seeing all along, huh? And you two planned this whole thing together to set me up, right? I always wondered why you d

Word got out about the celebration party incident, and what had been quietly simmering finally blew up.Everyone knew the CEO of Hensley Group was a two-timing jerk who fooled me into "marrying" him. People laid into Mavis too, calling her a foolish love-struck woman who only cared about undercutting other women."How could that jerk deceive someone for five whole years?"Everyone took my side. Rupert's dirty laundry got aired out, and people kept dragging his name through the mud. Before, he had seemed like a refined gentleman, but now they saw his true nature.People felt sorry for me and thought I'd been treated unfairly. Less than a day later, Hensley Group's stock started tanking, while Dawson Group's stock started climbing.I skimmed through the nasty comments online, then shut the page down without a second thought. Everyone was saying the same stuff, and it didn't matter to me. Besides, I'd already gotten what I wanted.I slept in every morning for a few days. One day, I

The chance came pretty fast. Hensley Group threw a celebration party four days later, and Rupert showed up with Mavis on his arm.Just yesterday, they'd spilled the news that they'd been married for years. Nobody had a clue Rupert was the guy behind all the rumors, so everyone toasted them and said congrats.I dug up the party's address and got a handful of reporters to tag along. When we arrived, the ceremony hadn't started yet. Rupert was busy making small talk, and Mavis spotted me first.Her face fell, and then she plastered on a smug grin. "How dare you show up, bitch? What? Are you here to demand a title? Don't forget, we already went public with our marriage."I felt sorry for her foolishness. Seriously, why would I be here asking for a title at this point?"Oh, really? Would you believe me if I said I came to offer my blessings?" I taunted.Mavis frowned, looking worried, and warned, "Don't cause any trouble, or you'll regret it."The ceremony kicked off soon after. As t

I clicked on the link and spotted photos of Rupert and me. Weirdly enough, his face was cropped out so much that anyone who didn't know him would never guess it was him.Some people had even cooked up fake, dirty pictures using my WhatsApp profile image and faked some steamy chat logs. These slanderous videos and articles spread like wildfire through WhatsApp groups within a night.Some explicit videos were taken down, but that only made people hungrier for more. Soon, social media was in an uproar, with everyone in the comments asking for the source.Internet sleuths dug up my personal info in no time and blasted it all over the biggest platforms."Her family is rich, so why would she become a mistress?""You can never truly know a person. Rich kids have twisted values. Maybe she enjoyed it."Amid all the trash talk, I saw a comment that said, "I saw someone who looked just like her at the hospital and took a picture. Does anyone want to see it? I'll post it if someone's interes

Rupert left after getting a phone call, and I didn't waste any time getting everything ready to leave the hospital.I was on my way down with the paperwork when a sharp pain hit me in the head, like a bunch of needles stabbing into my skull. I must've missed a step because the next thing I knew, I was falling—only, I never hit the ground.Instead, I found myself in someone's arms, the smell of cedarwood wrapping around me. Startled, I turned and locked eyes with someone looking worried. "Are you okay, Janet?"It was Seth Lewin, my childhood friend. I blinked, my gaze landing on the white coat he had on. A badge pinned to it read, "Orthopedic Surgery Associate Chief, Seth Lewin."He'd always been on top of everything, the kind of guy who was always ahead of the game and acing every class since we were kids.When I was a kid and got picked on, he always stepped in to protect me. I remembered how the adults used to joke about setting us up for some childhood engagement.My family

"You're awake, Janet!" Rupert was sitting by the bed when I opened my eyes, holding my hand excitedly.I felt disgusted. I yanked my hand away and turned my head."The doctor said we lost the baby, Janet," Rupert said, his voice thick with sadness as he tried to reassure me. "But don't let it get to you. We'll try again, and one day, we'll have another little one."I stayed quiet while Rupert continued, "My company's recent project needs the Sangers' help, so I didn't really have a choice but to handle things the way I did today. I hope you're not holding it against me.""Once all this blows over, I'll divorce her and marry you. Isn't that what you've always wanted? After you're feeling better, we can try for another baby and start over. That way—""Are you done?" I cut him off, my patience running out. "The baby didn't just get lost in an accident. I had an abortion."Rupert froze, his face tightening in frustration, and oddly, that gave me a little sense of satisfaction.I sco

"Have some dignity, will you? Can't we just part on good terms?" With that, I walked out without looking back.I'd wasted five years. Only now did I see Rupert for who he really was—a jerk in a sharp suit. What an asshole.After leaving the Hensley residence, I headed home. Maybe I was just too stressed, but I started feeling a sharp pain in my stomach.Worried, I went to get checked out. The doctor said there were issues from my previous procedure, and I'd need another surgery.The pain was so bad I could barely breathe. I had to lean against the wall to stay on my feet. But what I didn't expect was running into Mavis when I walked into the ward.It was like she'd been waiting for me forever. As soon as she saw me, she rushed up and slapped me across the face.She was so fast that I didn't even have time to react. The sting hit me right away, and my cheek started to swell."So, you're the other woman Rupert's been hiding, huh? Don't you have any shame? You look all sweet and in

"Sorry, honey. Please don't be mad. I'll bring you a gift when I get back."I stared at the text on my phone and let out a long sigh.After five years of marriage, Rupert Hensley and I had finally been blessed with a child. Today was supposed to be the first prenatal checkup, but he was away on a business trip and couldn't make it.Every other expectant mother outside the doctor's office had her husband by her side. I couldn't help but feel the sting of being alone."Are you here by yourself, too?" asked the woman beside me.Before I could respond, she continued, "My husband's on a business trip and couldn't make it. But he promised to make it up to me with a Hermès bag when he gets back."She flicked her long hair over her shoulder, and I saw her profile. Her words might've sounded like complaining, but the smile on her face said otherwise.She went on and on about how great her husband was to her while I listened in silence. When she mentioned her husband was the CEO of a phar...
