Chapter 1 Cheating Wife

I came out of the airport, but the car was gone. It was two o'clock in the morning, and the streets were empty. I had to walk all the way home, shivering and pulling myself as close as possible.My belly was aching, and sweat poured down my forehead. Yet, and yet, the memory of what I saw chilled my heart more than the cold could. Ten years. We went ten years without any children. The Willoughbys did not like that at all.They told everyone I was sterile. They told everyone I was ruining their daughter's future. Of course, they were oblivious to the truth. I was a healthy guy, but their daughter refused to give me a child.Every time I said I wanted one, she, in disdain, said she hated children and the role of a mother. But the night before she went on a business trip, she was unusually nice to me. She promised me a better future and even talked about children.I thought she was having a change of heart.Well, I was stupid. She was only learning how to be a mother for her lover. W

Chapter 2 Abusive Wife

I was going to wipe that smug look in his eyes, so I swung my arm as hard as I could and landed a big, fat slap on his face. The crisp ring of that slap echoed in the air, and following that ringing was the painful gasp of Samuel."What is wrong with you, Timothy?" A concerned Rochelle darted over and shoved me away.The trek through the night exhausted me. I stumbled backward, missed a step, and everything around me spun as I fell to the ground. I felt the back of my head smash into something hard. Pain took over my head, and blood spilled to the ground.Someone screamed, "He's bleeding!"I felt the strength leave my hands, and before my consciousness left me, I noticed the look in Rochelle's eyes. There was horror in her gaze.A year ago, in a drunken episode, Rochelle mistook me for Samuel. We went at it without protection that night, and it was a hole-in-one. She gave me the same look of horror back then, when she found out about her pregnancy.Agitated, she grabbed my arms,

Chapter 3 Cheater Caught

No response. I then told her I had proof of her infidelity, so she either signed the papers, or I would see her in court. Eventually, I was going to get discharged, and just when I was going through the paperwork, Rochelle called.Furious, she asked, "Are you mad? I can't believe you're throwing a tantrum like a child! Divorce? What, you think you're the center of the world? I told you I'd end this relationship once I deliver his baby."What more do you want? You can't force everyone to do things the way you like! I'll pick you up later. We're having dinner with Queenie. Let this go. Don't make me choose. I can't."She kept stressing how Samuel and I were both important to her. Nope. Reality told me I was just a free manservant for her, and one who had about as much dignity as a doormat. On the day of our wedding, she left me at the altar just to assuage the crying Samuel.Samuel and I shared the same birthday, yet she only remembered his. Me? "Sorry, I forgot. I'll make it up to y

Chapter 4 Idiot Wife

The sight of that woman made Samuel step back in horror. "Artemis?"I smiled. "In the flesh. Yes, I invited her. Well, you were going to apologize anyway, so I thought I should bring in the family of the other victim. Now, explain yourselves to her.""Are you mad, Timothy?" Samuel roared.It was nothing but noise to me. I pointed at Rochelle. "Ma'am, that's the woman Samuel has been hooking up with. Oh, and she's pregnant. Congratulations, the Hoffmans are getting a grandson."And Artemis turned black as thunder. She stormed up to Samuel and slapped him hard. "You filthy bastard! You leech off my family and cheat on my daughter?"Rochelle quickly pulled Samuel behind her and scrambled to put her words together. "Mrs. Hoffman, this is a mistake. Samuel didn't cheat on your daughter. He just wants a baby, so I'm helping him."He covered his face and shed crocodile tears. "I had no choice. Your daughter's barren, you know."Artemis jabbed a trembling finger at Samuel. "Then, go for

Chapter 5 Arrogant Side-piece

Rochelle stormed out of the room and did not come back for two weeks. Then, out of the blue, in the dead of the night, Queenie called me.A reluctant Queenie told me that Rochelle got herself blackout drunk and wouldn't stop calling my name. She demanded that I pick her up.I said no."It's the dead of the night. You're right beside her, if I'm not wrong. Just take her to your place and host her for the night. Or just call Samuel."I was being honest. Without a third wheel, also known as me, the couple could have a heart-to-heart.Rochelle came home not too long later, looking cold. She tossed her alcohol-stained clothes into the bathroom and took a shower before sliding into my bed.This was awkward, but I did not have the energy to start a quarrel, so I pretended to sleep.…She started acting strangely the next few days, coming back home every single day. She'd also make breakfast before I even woke up, and take me to and from work.My colleagues noticed the gifts she'd bee

Chapter 6 Controlling Wife

I grabbed Samuel's hand and put it over Rochelle's baby bump. A genuine smile hung on my lips, and with earnestness, I said, "This is the culmination of your loving relationship. I'd want nothing more than for it to grow under the care of loving parents. I'll pray for your happy family."You don't have to ask for my permission, though. The baby's yours, not mine. Whose name it takes is for you to decide."And I left, but Rochelle stopped me before I could, her face pale as a corpse's. "You know I am not going to make a family with him, Timothy."I massaged my temples. "But you're made for each other. I mean, you love him like your life depends on it. Just get married already.""No, it means nothing to me! I know you're angry because of some of the things I did, but I swear, I would've never started a family with him! I only took care of him because we used to date. I couldn't just leave him! If you're mad about it, I'll get him a caretaker. From tomorrow on, I'll stay away from him

Chapter 7 Negligent Wife

That caught Rochelle by surprise, and she quickly pieced together an explanation. "That's not what… I mean, I wasn't… No, we'll talk when we get home. I'll pick you up."My buddy's house was a stone's throw away from my workplace, so I didn't say no to her offer. Then, Rochelle came bearing a bouquet of roses. "It's Valentine's, Timothy. Let's go on a date."Yeah, she was obviously trying to get back into my good books. I looked at the bouquet and darted backward, pinching my nose. "I'm allergic to pollen. Not like you cared, though."…It was the third year of our marriage. Rochelle forgot a file for a meeting, and she called me. She wanted me to take that file to her. I did, but once I got into the conference hall, I was met with a dozen pots of flowers in full blossom.My respiratory tract closed up, and I fell down to the ground, spasming before I could finish one sentence.Rochelle spared me no pity. Right after I was dragged back to life, she yelled at me from the ward's

Chapter 8 Evil Side-piece

The shards cut Rochelle's wrist, but she didn't care. She stumbled forward. "What happened? Y—" Then she looked down, and whatever she had left to say died in her throat.She knew no amount of explanation could help her case now. I took out the divorce papers and served them to her. "Sign the papers. We have nothing more to discuss."It took Rochelle a while to break out of her trance. She opened her mouth and, with a trembling voice, pleaded, "Please, forgive me one more time." There was an expectation in her tone.I crushed it. I shook my head.She plopped down onto her chair, defeated. With difficulty, she asked, "You don't believe me. You don't think I love you. I've talked it out with Samuel. Once I deliver his baby, I'll send him abroad. We'll never meet again."I sighed. "You don't get it at all. The one I'm sick of is you. Even without Samuel, it'd only be a matter of time before you found another one. Your promise lost all its value the moment you made your first lie."L

Chapter 9 Punished Side-piece

Samuel whipped out a knife from his back and lunged at me. I could not move out of the way in time, so I closed my eyes, making peace with my eventual fate.I heard the sound of blade ramming into flesh, but the pain did not come. My eyes snapped open, and I saw Rochelle. She showed up out of nowhere, and she had a hole in her stomach, blood gushing out like water from a geyser."Are you okay, Rochelle?" Stunned, Samuel tossed the knife away and darted over to Rochelle.Rochelle punched him away and turned around. Though it was hard for her, she hugged me. "Timothy, are you alright?"My mind was blank, and tears came to my eyes. The crowd called the cops, and an ambulance came soon after. They carted her away on a gurney, but she extended her arm and tried to hold my hand.I looked at the bloody stamp on my arm. Not now. I could not leave her to fate, so I followed the ambulance to the hospital.…The stab ran deep, and she was hit at a dangerous spot. The surgery took a long

Chapter 10 Failed Attempt

Three years went by before I knew it. I'd finished project after project once I put my mind to work. Pretty soon, I was promoted from regular office worker to department head. The CEO promised I could be a deputy director if I could close this 150,000-dollar deal.I was not going to say no to that, and a chance presented itself soon enough. The investor was a multinational company, and they wanted to expand their market here, so they got in touch with me.The terms they named were enticing. If I could close this deal, the company could make serious money. I'd been excited for the last few days, and I was going to meet the potential business partner in the best state I could be in.The day of the negotiation came, and I went to the airport first thing in the morning. A woman came out and made a beeline for me. I felt my heart beating faster, and I greeted her, but when I saw her face, I froze.Rochelle.She smiled. "I'm friends with the CEO, so she's letting me handle this investme
