The Wilted Blossoms of Love

After having been married for five years, Benjamin Lane had always maintained the image of a devoted husband. Nicknamed the "Prince of the Lanes", he followed a strict curfew and always returned home on time.Every day, he personally drove me to work, and on numerous festive holidays, he went to great lengths to prepare gifts for me. All his social media accounts were also filled with his daily acts of spoiling me—his wife.The netizens jokingly called him a hopeless romantic, and the fans who shipped us were utterly obsessed.But one day, when he was still logged in on his WhatsApp account on the tablet, a woman sent him a message with a video.In the video, the woman was cosplaying as a bunny police officer, and her gaze was suggestive. She was sitting in a kneeling position with her legs spread apart, and both her hands were unfastening the buttons of her shirt, revealing supple skin that seemed eager to break free."Bunny really misses Benny. I want Benny to do things to me!"

As I sat dejectedly on the couch, my mind kept replaying the things Benjamin said. Would he hug her? Would he kiss her?When I rushed to his company, the only person in the office was Benjamin's assistant, Anson Pierce. He didn't usually stay by Benjamin's side while he was going about his tasks.Anson greeted me warmly when he saw me. "Mrs. Lane, you can wait in the office first. Mr. Lane is in a meeting now. Would you like me to make you a cup of coffee?"I declined his offer and stepped into Benjamin's office.Benjamin had always known how to enjoy life, even as a boss. His office was a massive suite—the outer section was his workspace, and further inside, there was a private lounge and a game room.I walked straight into the game room, feeling restless and upset, so I decided to distract myself with a game."Don't look! I'm shy!"A burst of soft-sounding laughter came from somewhere else, and I instinctively yanked off my headphones."Alright, alright, you change—I won't

Benjamin dropped everything he was doing and rushed to the designer exchange conference overnight.The man who had always been steady and composed actually stumbled when getting out of the car. He anxiously searched through the crowd, even disregarding his image as he shouted loudly, "Selena! Selena! Come out!"Someone who recognized him stepped forward to support Benjamin, who had lost his wits. "Mr. Lane, Ms. Johnson did not attend the exchange conference.""She's here! She's just mad and hiding from me!" Benjamin insisted, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the person.The person who helped Benjamin was my acquaintance in the design industry, and he had naturally seen what I had posted on my social media after it became viral.He remained silent for a few seconds before bluntly stating, "You and Ms. Johnson were known as the model couple in the industry. With something like this happening, why would she possibly make a big scene by coming here?"I don't know if Ms. Johnson can bear t

Benjamin even went abroad to look for my mom. By then, I had already completely changed my identity and embraced a new life. I had even made plans to travel with new friends, so I wasn't around at all.He kneeled before my mom, begging her to tell him where I was.I had refused to go abroad with my mom at the time just so I could be with Benjamin, and I'd nearly fallen out with her because of it."You once swore you'd always be good to Selena—that you'd be her rock. How do you still have the nerve to face me and come looking for her?" Mom sneered.She then got someone to kick him out without hesitation.At first, Benjamin refused to leave, and he followed Mom around for days. For two whole weeks, she had him beaten up several times, but he only left when he finally realized I truly wasn't there.Mom asked me, "Are you really never going to forgive him? He still seems to love you."She knew how much I had once loved this man and was worried I might regret it."It's true that h
