Chapter 9

Author: Spring Pony
The camera shook. It was clearly a phone livestream.

Claire wore flawless makeup. She leaned against Noah like a lovestruck bird, both of them smiling sweetly at the camera, showing off their affair for the whole world to see.

The comments scrolled by in a blur.

One bolded comment floated across the screen: [Cheating is this public now? My whole worldview just shifted.]

Claire clearly saw it. Her smile froze for just a second.

But she recovered fast. She looked at the camera, her eyes welli

She looked at the camera, her eyes welling up, her chin trembling like she was about to cry."Everyone, I know a lot of you have the wrong idea about me. But I didn't cheat on anyone. I've been framed."The truth is, Ethan can't perform. At all. As a man. And he used his family's influence to force me to marry him."She buried her face in Noah's chest, playing the victim.Noah immediately stepped into his role as protector. He wrapped his arms around her, looked sternly into the camera, and said, "Please don't attack Claire. She h

    I opened my phone. On X, the hashtags from that night—#WeddingNightCheating, #HeartlessDoctor, #EthanAnders—were still trending. The heat wouldn't die down.Claire's PR team had clearly gone to work. They'd bought bots by the thousands, trying to steer the narrative toward me being "inadequate," having "anger issues," being "abusive"—suggesting that Claire had no choice but to find comfort elsewhere.Lifestyle blogs and gossip accounts picked up the scent. They started digging for my "dark secrets." They painted me as a volatile, cold-blooded freak at the hospital—someone who pushed people away and felt nothing.For a moment, the tide began to turn.Soft-hearted netizens started feeling sorry for Claire. The "poor woman."[It takes two to tango. The guy must have done something wrong too.][My heart breaks for Claire. Imagine being married to a man like that. A total nightmare.]I read the comments. My face didn't move.Then I logged into my own account—the verified doctor's ac

    Claire signed her name in two quick strokes. Then she threw the papers in my face.The edge of the paper scraped my cheek, leaving a faint sting."There, Ethan. You got what you wanted."She stood over me, looking down like she'd already won. Revenge burning in her eyes."Since you want to be so heartless and take everything to the extreme, I don't need to pretend we ever had a marriage. We're done. Don't come looking for me. From now on, we're strangers."Then she looped her arm through Noah's and walked out without looking back.I didn't move. I just reached up and pulled the divorce papers off my face.The Grant family from the capital?If I remembered correctly, the current heir of the Grant family was a ruthless, iron-fisted man with absolute control. He had no long-lost brothers out in the world.But…There was the little princess of the Grant family—the daughter they'd coddled since birth. She'd always been sickly. Lately, her condition had worsened.And she was in de

    "Ethan… I made you some soup."Claire set the thermos on the nightstand and reached out to touch me. I stopped her with a single look.Her hand froze in midair. Awkwardly, she pulled it back."Ethan, I'm sorry. I know I messed up."Her voice cracked. The tears came right on cue. "Can you forgive me? Just this once? I swear it'll never happen again…"She started listing every memory from our past. Every moment from when we first met to when we fell in love.As if the woman writhing around in our wedding house yesterday didn't exist.As if she wasn't the one who abandoned me on our wedding night to run to Noah.I didn't say anything. I just watched her perform.When the tears had run their course, I pulled out the divorce papers I'd prepared and slapped them onto the table in front of her."All right. Enough acting. Sign this. You walk away with nothing."Claire's pupils contracted. She shook her head like a madwoman."No! Ethan, I don't want a divorce! We just got married. H

  • So Done With Her   Chapter 5

    Claire and Noah were locked in a passionate kiss. His hands had already slipped under her shirt. Their clothes were half hanging off their bodies. The atmosphere was thick with heat and desperation.Suddenly, the door lock turned from the outside.They both froze. Heads whipped toward the sound.The next second, seven or eight reporters burst through the door—cameras, microphones, lights. Flashes went off like fireworks."Ms. Bishop! Are you cheating on your husband? Does Mr. Anders know?""Who is this man? Are you intentionally trying to humiliate the Anders family by bringing him into your marital home?""Ms. Bishop! What is your relationship with this man?"The reporters swarmed like sharks. Each question sharper, nastier than the last.Standing behind the chaos, phone raised, was Julian. He was streaming the whole thing live—just for me."Get out! All of you, get out!"Claire finally snapped out of it. She let out a terrified shriek and scrambled to cover herself. The fac
