เข้าสู่ระบบWhen my wife, Celeste Harrington, sent her seventh young lover to me for a penile augmentation, her friends made bets on how quickly I would lose my mind. But even after the light over the OR door went off, nobody heard me fall apart. "Celeste, that's the seventh guy now. What if your husband is actually angry enough to stop speaking to you?" one of her friends asked. Celeste shrugged. "He can't have children with me, and I've got a family empire to pass on. Sooner or later, I'm going to have a baby with another man. Why not keep a few men around now so he gets used to it? I get to enjoy myself, too." I stepped out of the OR, my expression unreadable, and delivered the usual announcement. "Congratulations. The operation was successful." Celeste approached with a smile. "Nice work." Then she handed me a divorce agreement. "Sign it, will you? It's just for show. This guy refuses to have a baby with me unless I divorce you. Once the baby's born, we'll raise it together. Nobody will dare call you less of a man when you're raising a child." I'd played along with this humiliating routine six times before. This time, I signed without hesitation. Then I turned around and said yes to someone else's proposal. Celeste had apparently forgotten one important detail: I wasn't infertile. The problem was the genetic risk of having a child with her. All I needed was a different partner. Why had she ever assumed I'd be generous enough to raise her lover's baby?

You're going to apologize to him. You're going to make him forgive me."Tell him everything was your idea. Tell him you tricked me, too."If you can bring him back to me, I'll let you live."For the first time in a long while, hope flashed across Nolan's face, and he nodded frantically."I'll go. I'll go right now!"...Our engagement party was over when a disheveled man stepped into my path."Adrian, please forgive Celeste. No, I mean, please forgive Ms. Harrington."He wrung his hands and swayed like someone on the edge of a breakdown.Beneath his tangled hair, his face was covered in scratches and scars
"Where have you been? Adrian, do you have any idea I've been looking for you for an entire year?"Do you know how miserable I've been since you left?"I swirled the wine in my glass and gave her a faint smile."I'm not sure what you're talking about, Ms. Harrington. Didn't you receive the divorce decree?"You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."Unless you count the fact that we'll be enemies until one of us is dead."Oh, and I heard Harrington Holdings got knocked off the Fortune 500 this year. Congratulations. You must've worked so hard."Celeste stopped dead.I turned to leave, unwilling to waste another second on her, but she caught my wrist."Stop right there."Come home with me. We'll put everything behind us. I'll get rid of all those men. I don't even want a baby anymore. All I want is you!"Adrian, please stop being stubborn."I won't hold the share sale against you. If you still want a wedding, I'll give you one."Just come back. I'll do anything yo
"Adrian was right," Celeste said. "You don't even rank as the other man, and you actually thought I'd marry you?"She walked out without another glance.Nolan's knees buckled. He collapsed onto the floor.,,,Adrian's POVMeanwhile, I was lying in a private room at a hospital in Halverton.Elena Calder sat beside my bed."I've taken care of your grandmother's funeral arrangements," she told me."I also had the attorneys sell your shares at the discounted price we discussed. Harrington Holdings is in chaos.""Thank you," I said quietly.She saw that I was still lost in grief and took my hand."If I'd known Celeste would treat you like this, I never would have stayed hidden behind that tree that day."I looked at her, confused.Her gaze drifted into the distance."I was there the day you were attacked, too. I just got there a step too late."Regret clouded her eyes."Back then, I was a bookworm who couldn't throw a punch. I wasn't like Celeste, who'd been training in kick
"That old fool is hilarious," Nolan was saying with a laugh. "Did he think I was as stupid as the six guys before me? I know exactly how to handle him."He has no idea I had someone secretly film him kneeling and slapping himself, then posted the video online."I even had someone hack the hospital's network so every TV played that clip. Oh, and all those gossip videos mocking him for getting cheated on? I made sure those played, too!"I'm going to make it impossible for him to work in that hospital."Everyone's going to know he's a useless excuse for a man. After all that, he's still hanging on to a wife he can't even give a baby to!"He's so attached to that miserable old woman. Well, I wanted her to see exactly what kind of loser her grandson is."Her medication costs thousands of dollars a dose. They're getting divorced, so why should my Celeste keep paying?"He'd better get out of Ardenport and stay out of our sight."Just wait until I've made it big. I'll introduce every o
