It didn't take long after my post went live for the comment section to go wild.

Gossip-hungry acquaintances immediately slid into my direct messages to ask if this was for real.

Well-meaning relatives texted me to take down the post because I shouldn't air my dirty laundry in public.

Then there were Rachel's friends, led by Vanessa, who completely lost their minds in the comments.

Vanessa ripped into me for being heartless, accusing me of abandoning Rachel for wanting to carry on a dying man

  • My Wife's Anniversary Gift: Another Man's Child   Chapter 10

    I was surprised to see that Damon had managed to survive for two whole years.Later on, Audrey told me it was because Rachel had donated one of her own kidneys to him.Unfortunately, her grand sacrifice didn't buy her a happy ending with the Calloways.Damon's parents hated her. If it weren't for Rachel, their son never would've gotten a divorce from his wealthy ex-wife, let alone landed in prison.After all, Natalie had money, and the family had been living the high life because of her wealth.Rachel, on the other hand, was unemployed. The scandals about her online made it so that no one dared to hire her, so the Calloways were stuck footing the bill for her.When Damon finally finished his prison sentence, the reality of paying bills and making ends meet quickly eroded whatever magic was left in their romance.To make matters worse, Damon recently found a box of old photos she had kept of her and me.Combined with the memory of her hugging me and crying about how much she reg

    Following the divorce, my parents went into a total matchmaking frenzy.They were absolutely terrified that being a divorced man meant I'd be left on the shelf forever.It got so ridiculous that if they spotted an eligible girl while out grocery shopping, they would actively try to hunt her down for me. They had completely lost their minds.Case in point, the moment I got home one day, Mom called me, practically vibrating with excitement."I've set you up with a total knockout. I like her, so you're meeting her this afternoon. If you don't show up, you might as well just book my funeral!"I shook my head helplessly.I drove over to the cafe, matching the address Mom had texted me, not expecting to see Audrey sitting there.Running into an old friend on a blind date was a whole other level of awkward."Audrey? Don't tell me you're the match my mom set up for me?" I asked, incredulous.Audrey smiled, casually stirring her coffee."My mom dragged me into this. Apparently, our mo

  • My Wife's Anniversary Gift: Another Man's Child   Chapter 8

    When I came back to myself, I was already in the hospital.The first thing I saw after opening my eyes was someone dozing off beside my bed.The wound on my shoulder throbbed with a dull ache. I licked my parched, dry lips and tried to reach out for the water glass sitting on the nightstand.But because I had been lying still for so long, my arm gave out from a complete lack of strength, and the glass crashed straight onto the floor.The noise must've startled Audrey awake. She looked at me, her face lighting up with surprise.Noting the glass shards scattered on the floor, she immediately helped me sit up and carefully gave me a few sips of warm water before quickly sweeping up the broken pieces.Once the mess was cleared, she sat back down."Garrett, do you have any idea how reckless that was?"She furrowed her brow, staring at me with a look full of disapproval.I let out a weak chuckle. "I was just trying to do my civic duty and cooperate with the authorities!"Because of

    When I finally regained consciousness, I found myself strapped to a wheelchair in a hospital room.Standing right in front of me was Rachel, her face dark and menacing.When I recalled the way she had looked right before I blacked out, my brows pulled into a tight knot."Rachel, how dare you kidnap me?" I demanded, twisting my torso to break free. "Let me go!""I'll let you walk out of here on one condition," she said. "But you'll have to donate one of your kidneys to Damon."What? It took a long moment for my sedative-addled brain to process the utter insanity coming out of her mouth.I scoffed. "Is that a joke?"I struggled violently against my restraints, but the ropes binding my hands and feet were tied in tight knots.Rachel stood in front of me, her face as pale as a sheet as she stared at me."You caused my miscarriage and destroyed Damon's final sliver of hope. You owe him this kidney!"Her eyes were completely bloodshot, and the hand she had clutched over her abdom

    The next day, the video of Rachel and Damon being attacked went viral across the internet.Bystanders from the bar stepped forward to clarify that the assailant was the wife and the bruised man was her husband.The role of the remaining woman required no explanation.Public sentiment on social media was fiercely critical of the mistress, and Rachel's personal information was leaked in no time.Her company quickly fired her to protect its reputation.I brought the divorce agreement to the hospital. Looking through the glass window, I watched Rachel in her bed. She looked much like she did the day we met—vulnerable in a way that tugged at one's heartstrings.Rachel's family had always preferred boys over girls. Though they agreed to let her attend university, they refused to fund her education.Because of that, she was forced to take out a loan for her tuition, and she worked multiple jobs to put herself through university.We were alumni from the same university.The very fir

    I assumed Rachel would sign the divorce agreement without much fuss, but instead, she pulled a complete vanishing act.It didn't phase me at all.I reached out to Audrey immediately and instructed her to file a lawsuit for a contested divorce.Rachel was the one who walked out on our marriage, so she was the only one who had any reason to sweat.I spent the next few days sorting out my travel documents and visas for Eldoria. All I had to do was get this divorce finalized, and I could leave this place to start my brand-new life.…Three days after we filed the lawsuit, Vanessa called me."Garrett, Rachel is completely wasted. Hurry up and bring over a hangover remedy.""You should be calling Damon instead," I replied flatly. "Rachel and I are already in the middle of a divorce.""Garrett, what is wrong with you?" Vanessa shrieked over the line. "Rachel is drunk out of her mind and miserable right now! How can you be cruel? We're at Nocturne Bar. Get over here right now!"The d
