Chapter 3

ผู้เขียน: Bitter Lamb
I said firmly, “Since it’s work matters, go ahead. Don’t worry about me.”

At that, he hurriedly kissed my forehead and strode away.

My eyes grew moist as I watched the car fade into the distance.

It was the first time Michael had left me for another woman. It was also going to be the last.

After he left, the restlessness in my chest would not subside. My mind was filled with images of Michael and Rachel spending time together.

In the end, I simply told the driver to follow them.

Two kilometers from the house, I spotted a familiar car.

Rachel leaned softly against it as Michael held her in his arms.

“I told you not to appear in front of Evelyn. Why didn’t you listen?”

Tears rolled down her delicate face. She pouted and spoke aggrievedly.

“Michael, I only wanted to share some good news with you. I didn’t mean to appear in front of her.”

She lowered her gaze to her belly.

“I went to the hospital. Michael, we are having our own baby! I was too happy, which is why I couldn’t stop myself from coming. Why are you being so mean? You scared me and the baby…”

Michael froze for a long moment before he regained his senses.

“You are pregnant? You mustn’t move about so much! You’ll upset the baby.”

Rachel clung to his arm and shook it coquettishly.

“I’ll listen to you. Then, can you stay with me today? I do not know why, but after having the baby, I miss you even more.”

Michael’s voice was cold.

“No. I promised Evelyn I would take her to the movies today.”

Rachel bit her lip unwillingly. Her pitiful eyes brimmed with tears.

“Fine then. I will just sit in that cold villa with the baby and wait for the great president Michael to come home.”

A flicker of emotion crossed his eyes. He sighed helplessly.

“Don’t make me do this again.”

Her eyes lit up. She leaped with joy and planted a loud kiss on his cheek.

Michael frowned at her as she bopped up and down.

“Be careful. You’re about to become a mother. How could you still be so reckless?”

Watching their intimate actions, my heart felt as though a blade had carved a gaping wound into it.

After so many years of marriage, that tender gaze of his had only ever belonged to me.

In the business world, everyone called him a ruthless, decisive, cold-faced president. Only at home would he show me his tender side.

That same tender side had emerged in the presence of another woman.

His love was no longer mine alone.

Their car sped away. I gritted my teeth and told the driver to keep following.

Michael took Rachel to many of the places he and I had once visited together.

The places tied to my past with Michael were now becoming shared memories with another woman.

By dusk, they finally headed toward a villa on the outskirts of Salt City.

Lights glowed from within, and their silhouettes appeared against the glass.

They embraced as their figures became entwined.

I stood outside the villa in silence. I did not know how long I watched.

When my eyes burned dry, I finally let them shut slowly.

Back in the car, I ordered the driver in a cold voice, “Michael must never know about today.”

  • The Complete Drain Of Love   Chapter 9

    Michael's uncle's family was never qualified to compete with Michael for the heir’s position, yet over the past five years, Michael cared only about searching for me and had neglected the company. It left the patriarch of the Anderson family completely disappointed. They took advantage of the chance to curry favor with the old man and constantly demonstrated its ability within the company. But Michael was the heir the patriarch had devoted his life to raising. Even if disappointed, he could not completely abandon him. Michael's uncle's family was unwilling to let the opportunity slip, so they schemed to tarnish Michael’s standing in the patriarch’s eyes and went as far as to spread malicious slander. Michael had been urgently summoned back home because of their plotting. They accused him of cutting corners in a project, which had caused workers to die. The old man was upstanding and kind. He hated such things the most. Upon hearing it, he became so furious that he collapsed

    He had long since lost the shine he once carried. His body was thin, and his face was scruffy with an unkempt beard. What was strange was how quickly I recognized him, and how quickly he recognized me. “Evelyn, Evelyn! I’ve finally found you. These five years weren’t in vain after all! “Let’s stop fighting, okay? Let’s stop and go home together, alright? “I know I wronged you before, but I’ve already driven Rachel away and made her pay the price, so please don’t be mad—” Before he could finish, Blue cut in. “Mommy, who’s this weird old man?” The childish voice rang out, and Michael’s eyes snapped to Blue. “Evelyn, y-you have a child?” His eyes went blank, and his words turned into stammers. I spoke aloofly. “Surprised? I suppose you are. After all, you fed me abortion drugs for five years. Of course, you’d be shocked to learn that I still had a child, wouldn’t you? “But we’re already separated. Whether I have a child, and with whom, has nothing to do with you.”

    I never expected the cameras to make it so easy for me to keep an eye on what was happening at home. When he returned to the bedroom, he began searching frantically. “Where is everything? Why is everything gone? Where are all the things I gave Evelyn?! “My diary—where is my diary?!” Susan followed him inside. Hearing his words, she finally spoke with pity. “Mrs. Anderson cleared everything away a few days ago. Some she threw out, some she burned, and now nothing is left. She said that since she had decided to leave, she would leave completely. That meant removing all traces of herself by your side. “And she asked me to give you a message—that if she discovered that the love you gave her wasn’t unique, then she wouldn’t want you.” When Susan finished speaking, Michael’s trembling body froze stiff. Nobody knew how much time passed before he collapsed weakly to his knees. He stared blankly out the window, and silent tears fell. Susan stood beside him and sighed quietly.

  • The Complete Drain Of Love   Chapter 6

    After the plane landed, I went to a property my parents had left me. Sometime, my phone pinged with messages, and I discovered they were alerts from the home security cameras. After thinking for a moment, I opened the surveillance video. On the screen, Rachel sat on the sofa while gently rubbing her stomach. Sudden hurried footsteps sounded, and Michael rushed in. “Evelyn—I’m back! Did you miss me? Why didn’t you come out to see me? Are you mad that my business trip took too long?” I watched him frantically searching for me, and I smiled. He would never find me. Seeing Michael return, Rachel hurried forward to meet him. “Michael, you are back!” Michael’s pupils contracted sharply when he saw Rachel, and he gripped her arms at once. “How are you in my house? Where is Evelyn?” Rachel pouted aggrievedly. “Evelyn said she would give up her position to me! Who knows where she went…” Extreme panic flashed across Michael’s face. “E-Evelyn already knows?! Where di

    I did not know how much time had passed when I started speaking again. I spoke in a slow, calm tone. “Don’t tell Michael about this. Not a single person is allowed to tell him.” When I returned home, Rachel was already waiting there. When she saw me, she swayed her hips and deliberately pushed her stomach out with a smug look on her face. “You knew about me a long time ago, Evelyn, didn’t you?” I silently studied her. Her eyes were bright. Her skin was pale, and her body was gracefully slender. We were nothing alike. After I learned of Rachel’s existence, I had someone investigate their relationship. They had known each other long ago, but Rachel’s humble background made his mother believe she was unworthy of Michael. After we married, at a banquet, Michael was maliciously drugged and mistook Rachel for me. The two of them had spent a night together. Afterwards, to take responsibility for Rachel, Michael hid her away in a villa on the outskirts of the city. That v

  • The Complete Drain Of Love   Chapter 4

    On the way home, the image of Michael tenderly supporting Rachel never left my mind. He treasured her. He treasured their child. The thought dragged me back to the years of marriage when I never once missed the medicine laced with abortion drugs. A wave of grief swallowed me whole. I stumbled back to the bedroom in a daze. I packed away everything connected to him and threw it all into the trash. I threw away the necklace he had spent a fortune to win for me, the collection of handbags he had gathered, and the silly little trinkets he had hunted down just to make me laugh. When the garbage truck carried everything away, my emotions finally eased up a little. No. There was still one thing. The moment I thought of it, I rushed to the bedroom and pulled a diary from the nightstand. It was a diary he had prepared for me after our marriage. Every page recorded fragments of me. The notebook was thick, and as soon as I opened it, the pages fanned open on their own. [Ev
