Semua Bab Betrayed by My Husband, One-Night Stand with CEO’s Uncle: Bab 11 - Bab 20

The front door opened precisely when the clock showed half past seven in the morning, and Ethan stepped inside with heavy strides.His face looked exhausted, his gaze hollow, as if his mind was still left somewhere else—specifically, at his apartment.I hope Liora can take care of herself after I leave, he thought.He immediately took off his suit jacket and placed it carelessly on the sofa.Stevani, who had been sitting in the living room, stood up at once.“Darling, you are home?” she asked softly. There was a trace of jealousy in her voice that she tried hard to suppress. “I have been waiting for you since last night. Where have you been? I was really worried about you.” Stevani linked her arm with Ethan’s, but he immediately pulled away.Ethan gave a brief nod. “I was busy at the office.”The answer was cold—far too brief.“Busy to the point of forgetting to come home?” Stevani looked at him longer. “Your phone was off, Ed. I was worried about you.” She stepped closer again as Eth

“Ah!”Ethan jolted awake, clutching his head as a sharp pain throbbed through it. “I’m in the bedroom—why? Wasn’t I supposed to go to the office earlier? Then why am I lying on the bed?”He tried to recall what had happened. At that moment, he remembered Stevani handing him a drink. After that, he truly remembered nothing at all.“Stevani!” Ethan clenched his fists. “What did she do to me, damn it!”Ethan immediately looked down at his own body after lifting the blanket. Below the waist, he was still wearing his trousers. At once, he let out a breath of relief.Even so, his upper body was bare. His shirt and suit jacket were neatly placed on the back of the sofa. “How dare she do something like that to me!” Ethan growled angrily.With rage beginning to take over, Ethan got up and walked quickly to grab his shirt, putting it on in hurried movements. At that moment, the door opened. Stevani stood there, wearing a sexy, translucent nightgown, slowly approaching Ethan.“Darling, you’re aw

Camelia slammed her phone down onto the table.Her chest rose and fell, her breathing rough, while the phone screen still displayed the latest post from Liora’s account—a glimpse of togetherness that looked far too happy for her to accept.Liora was smiling.Daren stood beside her.And they looked … whole.“Liora …,” Camelia muttered, her jaw tightening. “How dare you.”Her hand clenched tightly.“Daren is mine,” she hissed in anger. “He should be by my side, not accompanying you on a stroll like that!”She paced back and forth across her apartment, her high heels striking the marble floor, each step echoing her growing fury.For the past few years, Camelia had grown accustomed to claiming Daren.Accustomed to being the place he returned to.Accustomed to being the woman he always sought, whenever he wanted.And now … Liora had taken it all away so easily.“I won’t let this happen,” she muttered coldly. “I won’t let you be happy.”Camelia stopped walking. A thin smile—sharp and danger

That morning, Daren stood in front of the mirror of Camelia’s apartment, dressed neatly in his work suit. The watch on his wrist showed the time he should have used to go to the office. Yet his mind was nowhere near work.Daren wanted to go home. "I better get home quickly and check on Liora. Her phone has been inactive since last night; I’m really worried about her," Daren thought, not realizing that Camelia had been watching him from the sofa all this time.Camelia observed Daren, her eyes sharp and full of suspicion. Since last night, her uneasiness had not eased.“Where are you going so early?” Camelia finally asked, her voice flat yet piercing.“It’s unusual …,” she added suspiciously.Daren buttoned his jacket, glancing at her. “There’s an important meeting at the office, so I have to leave quickly now.”Camelia chuckled softly, but there was no humor in it. “Meeting? Or are you going home, then to see your wife?” Camelia began to get angry.Daren approached Camelia and briefly

Camelia could not sit calmly and quietly. From earlier, Liora’s smile felt like a knife slowly slicing through her patience.The way the woman spoke, looked at her, even laughed—everything seemed deliberately done to humiliate her.“I’ll excuse myself first,” Camelia said suddenly, rising from her seat.Liora turned her head, her eyebrows slightly raised. “You just got here. It’s been a long time since we gathered like this.”Camelia forced a smile. “I have something urgent to take care of … sorry, I’ll go first.”Nadine, who was sitting between them, only nodded. “Be careful on the way, Cam.”“Okay.”Camelia grabbed her bag and walked away without looking back. The sharp sound of her heels echoed, in rhythm with her chest that thundered with anger.“Just wait, Liora. Do you really think that sweet smile of yours will last long?”Camelia scoffed. “Tsk! I’m sure it won’t. Because sooner or later, I will be the one who becomes Mrs. Daren.”As soon as Camelia’s back disappeared behind th
