Never Meant to Stay

Bianca glanced at me, then nodded hard and started explaining."Theo stayed unmarried all the way until his thirties because of me. Now, he's about to die. I have to at least fulfill his wish."As she spoke, her cheeks flushed slightly, as if what she was about to say next was hard to get out."Theo…stayed a virgin for me. He's never been with a woman. So I've decided to have a child for him. I've already talked it through with him. The baby will take your last name. That should be fine, right?"Seeing how stiff my expression was, Bianca hurried to add that last part.I stared at her in disbelief and shot to my feet. "What the hell are you talking about? You want to have Theo's child and then have me raise it?! No! I won't agree to this. Before, when you were taking care of Theo, I turned a blind eye. Now you're openly telling me you want to cheat on me? What are you even thinking?"My anger exploded in an instant, and I completely lost control.All these years, because I love

I didn't reply to Bianca. Instead, I blocked every single way she could contact me.The moment I turned off my phone, I suddenly felt an incredible sense of relief. I had wanted to do this for far too long.Bianca was an only child, spoiled and doted on since she was young, so she was used to doing whatever she pleased.In the past, whenever I upset her, Bianca would block me without hesitation.Only after I lowered my head, pologized, and begged would she “graciously” take me off her blacklist.Back then, I loved her. Even though it felt childish, I was still willing to indulge her.But now that I tried doing the same thing she used to do, I finally understood her. It really felt damn good.Deleting someone who wasn't worth it from my life felt like setting myself free.What I didn't expect was that the very next day, Bianca showed up at my company.I was reviewing a contract the department had submitted when my assistant, Max Young, knocked and came in."Mr. Keller, there's

After Bianca and I separated that day, I thought she would move quickly to finalize the divorce.To my surprise, she never showed up to court.Soon, the winter holidays were approaching, and my father suddenly told me to buy some groceries and come home for a family meal.I didn't think much of it. I picked up a few things and headed back, planning to tell them about the divorce anyway.What I didn't expect was that when I walked in carrying a box of groceries, I saw Bianca's parents chatting happily with mine.Bianca was right there with them, occasionally handing out fruit or pouring coffee, playing the role of the perfect, gentle wife.When I saw this scene, I was utterly confused.What was Bianca playing at now? We were getting divorced, so why was she still pretending everything was fine in front of my parents?Watching how smoothly she poured coffee and served everyone, I figured she had gotten plenty of practice taking care of Theo.I remembered that once, after drinkin

Soon, with Bianca's parents stepping in, Bianca and I officially finalized the divorce.Around that time, I also finally understood why Bianca had been clinging to me. Theo had found a suitable kidney donor, but the price was 160 thousand.Bianca knew that once we divorced, she wouldn't have that kind of money, so she turned her attention back to me.Too bad for her. I wasn't that foolish anymore.Later on, Ron and Addison, desperate for their daughter, sold their valuable old house just to pay for Theo's treatment.Reality didn't disappoint them. Theo recovered, and Bianca was close to giving birth.But a week later, something unexpected happened.A video of a pregnant woman being beaten in the street went viral online. She was covered in blood and curled up on the ground, clearly in agony.Not long after, clips from multiple angles started circulating everywhere.That pregnant woman was Bianca. I knew because I was there when it happened.That day, I had gone out to eat wit
