บททั้งหมดของ I Became the Other Woman: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 8

After using my husband's credit card, I was anonymously reported for fraud. I showed them our marriage certificate to prove my innocence, only to be told that my marital status was still single.Looking at the marriage certificate in my hands, I felt dizzy under the harsh interrogation room lights.I clearly remembered that on the day Vivian Clarke threatened suicide, Lucas Richardson absolutely refused to go and comfort her, insisting on going through with our wedding ceremony.I still remember his ice-cold tone at the time. "If she dies, she dies. What is she to me? Does she think she's worth abandoning you for?"No matter how many people came to persuade him, he would not budge. It was only when I said I did not want someone dying on our wedding day that he reluctantly agreed to go.Lucas was gone for three days, and I actually believed he was dealing with the suicide attempt. Now, the glaring family photo of three on the computer screen showed me just how foolish I had been.

As soon as I got home, I started packing my luggage. The wedding ring, jewelry and clothes Lucas had given me were all listed on secondhand platforms for sale.On Saturday, I attended the city's charity gala. As the host read the opening remarks, I spotted Lucas, who had not come home the night before. He was now holding Vivian close, and the expensive watch on his wrist had been replaced with a bracelet she had made him.I had once lovingly knitted a watch band for Lucas, only to have him reject it for being "childish" and "too girly". However, he was now proudly showing off that crooked woven piece to others, his face radiating pride. Vivian was nestled contentedly in his arms, carrying herself like the lady of the house.Someone nearby remarked, "Mrs. Richardson's haute couture dress is stunning. I couldn't get an appointment even a month in advance. He must have traveled to several countries to get that for her."My friend glanced at me strangely. "Netty, isn't that your husb

Third Person Point-of-ViewLucas stumbled into the emergency room in a daze, wanting to see Nanette one last time, but the same doctor reached out to stop him."Sir, Ms. Newman's body has already been cremated. Her ashes were taken by her secretary. You can contact her."Lucas' ears were filled with a roaring sound, but the first thing he felt was, strangely, calmness. With trembling hands, he took out his phone."Lucas, what's wrong?"Just as Lucas was about to dial Anna's number, Vivian sweetly pressed herself against him. "The doctor said I was just frightened. Thank goodness it didn't scare our baby."Lucas looked at Vivian nestling against him, but his thoughts were elsewhere. Thinking of Nanette's tearful eyes yesterday and her disappointed gaze, he felt inexplicably irritated.He had indeed loved Nanette once, but apart from work, she had always devoted her time to research, never willing to spare him a single glance. He had always thought that Nanette did not care about

Nanette's phone was still unreachable. Unable to contact her directly, Lucas had people stationed at her hometown and workplace, but the reports that came back were still fruitless.After receiving a call from his subordinates, Lucas coldly ordered, "Keep searching."She had promised to stay with him until they were old and gray. Even if he had to turn the entire earth upside down, he would find her and bring her back.It was another sleepless night since Nanette had left. Lucas didn't turn on any lights. In the dark living room, only the glow from his phone screen illuminated his haggard face.Suddenly, the sound of a key turning came from the courtyard. Lucas was startled, but his first thought was that Nanette had come home.He immediately got up to open the door. All of his nervous excitement from when they first dated came rushing back. In the dim light, Lucas did not even see the person's face clearly before rushing over to embrace the woman entering."Nanette, I knew it! Y
