Winning Back the Husband

Before my wife, Camille Lamberg, left the house, she dropped an invitation in the entryway. It was for a sip-and-see party, a celebration to welcome a month-old baby. Since I was heading that way anyway, I figured I'd drop it off for her. But the moment I pushed open the doors to the hotel ballroom, I froze as if I'd been struck by lightning. My wife, the woman who'd sworn she wanted to stay child-free, was holding a chubby, rosy-cheeked baby and making the rounds with a glass raised alongside another man. My in-laws gathered around the three of them, beaming as they posed for a family photo. And the photographer was none other than my best friend since childhood, Jonah Grant. The second he spotted me, he rushed over and blocked me from going into the ballroom. "Adam, calm down! Camille just wants a baby. You can't take away her chance to be a mother just because you can't have kids!" It wasn't until the man turned around that I got a good look at him. The man my wife was cheating on me with was Oliver Weaver, my father's illegitimate son. My wife, my in-laws, and my closest friend had all known the truth, and every one of them had still betrayed me.

Chapter 1

I shoved hard at Jonah Grant, trying to force my way into the ballroom, but I couldn't shake him off.

He had a death grip on my arm. "Don't make a scene that nobody can walk away from," he hissed.

The color had drained from my face. "You all know Oliver is the bastard my dad had from his affair. He's the person I hate most in this world, and you're still taking his side?"

Jonah's eyes darted away for a second or two, and his Adam's apple bobbed. He looked a little guilty.

But it didn't take long for him to get his confidence back. He even put on that I'm-only-saying-this-for-your-own-good face.

"Adam, what's done is done. What good is losing your temper going to do? They already had the baby. What do you think kicking up a scene is going to accomplish?"

He leaned in close to my ear and dropped his voice even lower. "I'll be straight with you. Your azoospermia diagnosis was fake. So was Camille's six-month overseas assignment. Oliver was with her the whole time while she waited to give birth."

I froze.

"Camille wanted to have Oliver's baby first, so she lied to you. She paid someone to doctor that medical report."

My mind went blank with a ringing hum. It felt like someone had swung a hammer straight into my temple.

Jonah kept going, and he sounded like he was actually trying to talk sense into me.

"The kid's going to be a Weaver anyway. You're getting a big, healthy son for free. What's so bad about that? It's not like Camille said she won't stay with you. On paper, you're still her husband."

Chapter 2
A chill shot through me, as if I'd been plunged into ice water.A year ago, when that medical report came back, I'd felt like the sky had fallen.The doctor told me my sperm motility was close to zero. The odds of conceiving naturally were next to nothing.From that day on, I'd felt like I owed Camille.She'd married me, and I couldn't give her a complete family. I couldn't give her the chance to become a mother.So I'd bent over backward to make it up to her.I put every house and car I owned in her name. I even transferred sixty percent of my company's shares to her.At the time, I thought that even if we split up one day, at least she'd be well taken care of.And Camille?She'd wrapped her arms around me and said, "Honey, I don't even like kids. Don't feel guilty. I married you for you, not your sperm. I'm happy to stay child-free with you for the rest of my life."She'd even been the one to suggest we sign a child-free agreement. It was all there in black and white, signe

The doors slammed into the wall with a deafening bang.The whole room fell dead silent.The cheering stopped short, the whistling died, and even the background music seemed to skip a beat.Dozens of eyes swung toward me at once. Some were surprised, some were guilty, and a few were full of pity.Camille's face changed instantly. She nearly lost her grip on her wine glass.She hurriedly handed the baby to her mother and wiped the lipstick smudge from the corner of her mouth. Then she forced a smile. "Honey, what are you doing here?"I didn't look at her.I looked at Oliver Weaver.He stood there in a sharp suit, every hair perfectly in place, his lips still curved from that kiss.His face looked a little like mine.I walked over and punched him in the face.My fist slammed squarely into the bridge of his nose. He hadn't seen it coming. He let out a yelp and fell backward, knocking over the chair behind him.Shattered glass covered the floor."Your mother wrecked my family b

Chapter 4
I didn't go home. I went straight to Ravenside General Hospital.Earlier that year, my mom had been diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer. It had already spread, and surgery was out of the question. All that kept her going was targeted therapy and the monitors she was hooked up to.The moment I walked into her room, a nurse hurried over with a bill. "Mr. Weaver, you need to pay this right away. The payments for the specialty drug and the monitoring are two days overdue. The system is about to cut off her medication. If you don't pay, there's nothing we can do."I took the bill and glanced at it. The number made my scalp prickle.Just two days ago, Camille had told me she'd already paid. Had she lied to me about that, too?My mom lay in the hospital bed with an oxygen tube under her nose. Her arms were covered in needle marks and bruises, and she'd wasted away to skin and bone.But when she saw me, her eyes lit up.She struggled to pull the oxygen tube aside and asked softly,

Chapter 5
For the next three days, I looked after my mom while scrambling to raise money wherever I could.Her specialty drug alone cost several thousand dollars a month. Add the monitoring fees, nursing fees, and the cost of the bed, and it was a bottomless pit.I sold everything I could sell. All I had left was a single watch, the one my mom gave me for my thirtieth birthday.On the morning of the fourth day, I got a call from the hospital."Mr. Weaver? Your mother's condition has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Get over here right now!"When I reached the third floor of the hospital, I shoved open the door to her room and froze on the spot.Oliver was sprawled in the chair beside the bed as if he owned the place, holding that month-old baby.My mom was propped up against the headboard, her face as gray as a sheet of paper. Her eyes were wide, her lips were purple, and her whole body was trembling.When Oliver saw me, he didn't bother to get up. Instead, he deliberately held the baby

The last thing I saw was the harsh white fluorescent light on the ceiling.Then everything went black.When I woke up again, five days had passed.The sharp smell of disinfectant filled my nose. My chest was wrapped in thick bandages, and every breath felt like needles stabbing into me.I turned my head. Camille was sitting in a chair beside the bed.She looked haggard. There were dark circles under her eyes and her lips were cracked, as if she hadn't slept or had anything to drink in days.When she saw my eyes open, she shot to her feet. The chair skidded backward with a harsh scrape."Adam! You're finally awake..." Her voice trembled, and her eyes instantly turned red. "Do you know you almost died? The doctor said if it had been less than half an inch over, it would've hit your heart..."I looked at her.I looked at her for a long time.Then I spoke, my voice so hoarse it didn't sound like my own. "I almost died? It's all thanks to you and Oliver."The worry on Camille's f

Chapter 7
Sure enough.First thing the next morning, Oliver started spreading his version of the story.He claimed that in the hospital room that day, I'd come at him and the baby with a knife, trying to kill them, and that Camille had accidentally hurt me while trying to stop me.He told it so convincingly, with every detail vividly made up. "Adam's eyes were bloodshot. He was screaming that he'd kill my son. If Camille hadn't thrown herself at him, I'd be the one who was dead right now."The story spread like wildfire.Even Jonah believed it. He sent me a message trying to talk me down. [Adam, what were you thinking getting that worked up? You almost got someone killed, you know that? Whatever the problem is, talk it out. Pulling a knife? What the hell?]I didn't reply.Camille believed it too.Or rather, she chose to believe it.The next time she came to my room, her attitude had clearly changed.Gone was the guilty, shifty look from before. Now she was condescending, as if she'

Chapter 8
Camille and Oliver's wedding was set for two weeks later.Word spread until everyone knew. Supposedly, Oliver had booked the biggest ballroom in the city, and the banquet alone would fill a hundred tables.Three days before the wedding, Jonah came to see me in his role as "peacemaker" and "go-between."When he came in, he kept his head down and couldn't bring himself to look at me.He sat in the chair in my hospital room for a long time before he managed to squeeze out, "Adam..."I ignored him.He stammered for a long while before he finally spoke, his voice low and strained. "Your mom's body... has been cremated. Her ashes are at the funeral home. I helped take care of it. I'm sorry."I still didn't say anything.The hospital room was so quiet I could hear the beep of the heart monitor.Jonah crouched down and buried his head in his hands, his voice starting to shake. "I wronged you. When Oliver came to me, he gave me forty thousand dollars to help cover for him. I... I'd r

Chapter 9
The weather on the day of the wedding was unusually beautiful.Sunlight hit the ballroom's glass curtain wall in a dazzling golden blaze, almost as if it were mocking something.The room was full of guests. More than three hundred people packed the ballroom wall to wall.There were flowers, balloons, and a champagne tower. Everything was as lavish as it could possibly be.Camille wore a pure white wedding gown with a long, trailing skirt. She held Oliver's arm, her smile radiant.Oliver looked sharp in his suit, brimming with confidence. He went from table to table with his glass raised, every bit the picture of a man who'd won at life.Jonah stood in a corner and gave me a slight nod.I took a deep breath, walked over to the control booth, and plugged a USB drive into the main computer.Onstage, the emcee was announcing that the bride and groom would now exchange rings. The big screen had been set up to play a short film about their love story.The screen flickered.Then it
