Cheating

On the seventh year of our anniversary, the anniversary gift my husband, Anthony Walker, has given me is a divorce agreement that is valid for seven days. He has planned all this just because he has his eye on a female intern in his company, who is seven years younger than him. So, he wants to be in a legitimate relationship with her that only lasts for seven days. On the first day, they reserve an entire cinema for themselves. After that, they make love to each other from the doorway to the seats. On the second day, they set off fireworks at the beach. The fireworks are so bright that half of the city is illuminated by them. On the fifth day, the intern, Tanya Lindt, barges into my art exhibition. With tears running down her face, she accuses me of being the side chick in her relationship in front of the mass media. That night, news of a rising female painter becoming a homewrecker for the sake of love goes viral. More than 100 thousand malicious comments directed at me are posted in the comment section. On the sixth day, Anthony apologizes to me on Tanya's behalf. Apparently, the punishment he has set for her is that she's not allowed to go shopping for three days. On the seventh day, Anthony finally realizes that something is wrong. He calls me 99 times just to remind me that we'll get remarried the next day. "Okay," I say to him. Then, I inform my assistant to check in my baggage. What Anthony doesn't know is that I already came up with a plan to further my studies overseas seven days ago. This time, I'm not going to waste my time on him anymore.

Chapter 1
When Anthony Walker came to me with a divorce agreement, I was holed up in my studio at home, finishing a surprise for our seventh anniversary. It was an 86-by-55-inch oil painting I'd been working on for a month. I was down to the last two strokes."I'm leaving the divorce agreement here. If everything looks fine, sign it. Tanya's waiting for me at the door," he said.My hand froze mid-stroke. I thought I'd misheard him. "What?"Anthony frowned. "I'm divorcing you, but relax—it's only for seven days. After that, you'll still be my one and only wife."The absurdity slammed into me so hard I could barely breathe. I opened my mouth to say something, but he didn't give me the chance."The day we got married, you promised to give me one chance to make a mistake. You're not going back on your word, are you?"I had said that. However, I'd also said it didn't include cheating or falling out of love.My chest ached like it was splitting open, but I clenched my teeth and tried to keep my

My fingers tightened around the brush until my knuckles turned pale. I dipped it in paint out of habit, then realized I had nowhere else to paint. If Anthony had just taken two more steps forward, he would've seen that I was painting the moment we first met.After a quiet beat, I tore open the black paint in the corner and dumped it over the canvas. One bucket, two buckets, three buckets…I kept going until every outline disappeared. Then, I pressed the divorce papers onto the paint. In small white letters, I added a note. "I won't remarry you, Anthony."…That night, Anthony didn't come home. He only sent me a quick message. "I'll stay at Tanya's place for the next seven days. Don't wait up. I'll see you at City Hall at 9:00 am on the seventh day."Before I could reply, I saw that Tanya had rushed to share a photo on her social media of their fingers laced together. "He's divorced and my seven-day exclusive."In the photo, Anthony was not wearing his wedding ring. Aside from a f

I froze. Then, I said, "Go ahead and cut it.""You can't!" Unexpectedly, Anthony snapped. He came running down from upstairs so fast that he nearly stumbled and fell. "I won't let you cut the ring, Giselle!"His outburst startled everyone, especially Emma. Since she started working with me, this was the first time she'd seen Anthony lose his composure."Mr. Walker?" she mumbled.He caught himself and cleared his throat. "I'm just worried you'll hurt your hand. If you do, you won't be able to paint, and then you'll cry to me about it. That's annoying."Then, something seemed to occur to him. He arched a brow at me. "Where's the painting you did for me yesterday? I have time to look at it now.""I burned it," I said evenly, lowering my gaze.He was stunned. "What did you say? How could you burn it?"He stormed toward me, ready to argue, when his phone suddenly lit up. He'd received a few voice messages from his guys' group chat."Anthony, I heard you got divorced. You had big ne

Anthony shoved me hard. My lower back slammed into the podium, and the sharp pain made me double over. Still not satisfied, he snatched the microphone and tried to smash it against the painting on display.It was the only piece my mother left me before she died.Gasps rippled across the room. I didn't have time to think—I just lunged to protect the canvas. However, I'd barely taken two steps before the press swarmed me. Their eyes were glittering with hunger for a big scoop. Their bodies closed in until I could barely move."Ms. Townsend, can you explain what just happened? Did you really take someone else's stuff?""Ms. Townsend, you brand yourself as an independent female artist. Why are you picking on a young woman?""Ms. Townsend, aren't you ashamed of yourself?""Ms. Townsend…"Question after question slammed into me until I could hardly breathe. I steadied myself and tried to stand, but the reporters, giddy with the frenzy, shoved me back down like they were ready to devou

I stared at him. Then, I started laughing until my tears slipped out. "Anthony, you didn't use to be like this."Back then, he would zone out when watching me paint and tell me I was the most beautiful woman in the world. When I forgot to wash the paint off my hands and felt embarrassed, he'd argue that was what a true muse looked like.I even remembered that rainy day when we first met so vividly because he'd suddenly stopped by my side when walking by with an umbrella. Then, he'd smiled at me and asked, "You're Ms. Lancaster's daughter, right? I'm a big fan. I've always loved her paintings."It turned out that I was the only one who'd never walked out of that rainy day.My heart finally settled at that moment. I pushed Anthony's hands away and turned to head back to my room.As I closed the door, he suddenly jammed his hand against it, stopping me cold. "There's only one day left before we remarry. Giselle, you'll be there, right?"I was quiet for a heartbeat. Then, I smiled. "

"Why did you block my number? Didn't we agree to remarry today? I've been waiting at City Hall for an hour… Where are you now? I'll come find—I'll pick you up," Anthony said.Just then, the plane's announcement rang out, and the line went quiet. Even through the phone, I could hear Anthony's heavy breathing."Giselle, are you leaving? Where are you going?"After two seconds of silence, I hung up and powered off my phone. Since the choice had been made, there was no turning back. That applied to both him and me.Anthony flew into a sudden rage as he stared at the disconnected call. He dialed again, but a cold, mechanical voice said, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently powered off."He listened, stunned, until the reality sank in. I was serious this time. I had no intention of remarrying him, and I wasn't going to take him back.He only snapped back to his senses when Emma tugged the phone from his hand. He grabbed her wrist, panicked. "Where did Giselle go?"She shot

Every item was labeled with the date it was given. There was a mountain of gifts from our first year of marriage, but when it got to the seventh year, the divorce agreement was all there was.Anthony tore everything open one by one, surprised to find three identical Cartier bracelets. When had he become so nonchalant about our relationship? No wonder I refused to forgive him.He stood among the torn boxes, holding one empty case, feeling secretly thrilled. It was supposed to hold "Beloved", the brooch he'd given me, but the brooch was missing.A slow smile crept across his face, and there was a note of certainty in his voice. "You still can't let me go, can you? Makes sense. Since you've caused such a scene this time, I'll just work a bit harder to placate you."His muttering was cut short by a phone call. When he saw Tanya's name flashing on the screen, his smile vanished instantly. The phone rang again and again until he finally answered, irritated. "What do you want?"She seeme

After realizing I'd dismissed his heartfelt confession, Anthony's composure shattered. "This brooch doesn't suit you. Don't wear it again. And we're done, so stop clinging to me. Don't you dare cause a scene in front of Giselle!"He clenched the brooch and stormed off, paying no mind to Tanya's wildly twisted expression.In his car, after his 30th failed attempt to call me, he reached out to his secretary, who could do anything. "You have three days. Find out where Giselle is."…Meanwhile, I landed in Alden. On the steps of Monarchy Square, I watched the Citadel cast a diamond-shaped shadow that slowly swept across the old town.A strange sense of belonging rose up inside me. This was the place I'd chosen to further my studies. It would also be a fresh start for my painting career.I stood before a copy of The Vinelord's Festival in an art gallery. On the linen canvas, still-wet ultramarine was quietly sliding downward when I heard someone speak in standard Dalean behind me."I

"An unknown painter's work is nothing but a pile of trash!" Tanya screeched.That got Emma fired up. She snapped back, "At least Giselle's paintings are admired and collected, unlike some people who get used and tossed aside. They're worth less than this trash!"It took Tanya a while to catch on. She cornered Emma against the wall with her bodyguards, then raised her hand high and slapped her. "You bitch! You and Giselle Townsend are both bitches! I could crush you like an ant, you know? It's that easy!"Emma raised her chin, refusing to be cowed. "Please! You're just a homewrecker clinging to a man's power. Did you really think you were a big deal?"Tanya seized Emma's jaw. Her sharp nails dug in and split the skin, leaving bright red marks. "I made sure Giselle couldn't survive here anymore, and I can do the same to you! So what if she's so high and mighty? She still got branded a homewrecker."I stirred up trouble on purpose and got a few tabloids to blow things out of proporti

"She calls herself an educated woman now, but she's just a habitual homewrecker.""She even twisted the truth to smear the actual wife. For someone like her, getting beaten to death wouldn't feel like enough!""Yeah, exactly."Tanya's home address was posted online, and the people she had deceived showed up to "visit". They came one after another to splash paint, throw rotten eggs, and pile up garbage at her door.She called Anthony dozens of times, but all her calls went unanswered. In the end, she had to suit up, brace herself, and leave the house.The moment she stepped outside, a rotten egg smashed into her head, followed by a barrage of curses. When she finally flagged down a cab, the driver took one look at her messy state and thought of the recent gossip. "You're a mistress, aren't you? I'm not taking you!"He hit the gas and took off.After a struggle, Tanya made it to the company, only to be stopped at the entrance by security."Ms. Lindt, you can't go in. Mr. Walker h
