After His Confession의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

The moment I heard Tony admit the affair, my hand froze against my stomach, and my expression went still.Tony didn’t notice anything wrong. Instead, he continued to ramble on.“Jane works at a club. I was drunk that night we slept together. I didn’t expect that just once would get her pregnant.”He smiled faintly, then leaned in and kissed my forehead.“It was just an accident. Don’t worry. The one I love most is still you. No one can shake our relationship.”I clenched my fists, about to lash out, but just then, the ringing of his phone interrupted me.Tony answered calmly, without avoiding me at all.“What? You’re already there? Jane is carrying my child. Don’t mess with her. Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.”He hurried out after hanging up. Before closing the door, he even reminded me, “I bought your favorite cheesecake. Remember to eat it. If it gets late, go to sleep first. I’ll be back after I meet up with the guys.”His Maybach disappeared into the rainy night.Withou

Taking advantage of Tony’s absence, I began preparing for my fake death.My new identity had already been arranged. Now, all I needed was for the death certificate to take effect and the right opportunity for the accident.I thought Tony wouldn’t be back until morning.However, in the middle of the night, he suddenly kicked the front door open. Behind him, Jane followed, crying.He threw the gifts from earlier at me one by one. Some scattered across the floor, while some shattered. Even the bouquet of lilies had been snapped and wilted, and he flung it harshly onto the couch in front of me.Only then did I notice the tiny pinhole camera hidden among the flower buds.In the broken gift boxes on the floor, faint red lights from cameras flickered.“Astrid, you actually tried to spy on Jane?! Is that why you pretended to be generous and gave her those gifts?!”Tony roared in fury.“What was your purpose in spying and secretly filming her? If she hadn’t discovered it today, what

Tony’s whole body trembled. On the verge of collapse, he forced himself to hold on to the last trace of rationality.With shaking hands, he pulled up the surveillance footage on his phone, tapping several times before finally hitting playback.However, what he saw dragged him straight into the abyss.That night, he had carried Jane in his arms as she cried about her stomach hurting. Impatient, he shoved me out of the way without even looking back and rushed out the door.I staggered from the push and fell hard onto the ground.Then I curled up in pain. Dark red liquid quickly spread beneath me, soaking through my nightgown.Clutching my stomach, I crawled with difficulty to grab my phone and called for help. More than ten minutes later, medical staff broke in and carried my blood-covered body onto a stretcher.Tony’s face turned deathly pale.It felt like a hand had gripped his heart, squeezing tightly. His lips trembled uncontrollably.He was the one who pushed her.She had

Rain began to pour. Tony kneeled in the puddle outside the hospital, motionless.A sudden umbrella appeared above his head. Thinking it was Mia, he looked up sharply, only to find it was Jane.The small spark of hope in his heart was instantly extinguished.“Tony, don’t be like this. Even though Astrid is gone, you still have me and our child.”Jane reached out to help him up. “From now on, I’ll stay by your side. The three of us can be a family.”Tony shook her hand off and glared at her, his eyes bloodshot. “Who do you think you are? How dare you mention her?”Jane trembled in fear. The umbrella slipped from her hand.Rain instantly soaked her hair and shoulders, making her look even more pitiful.“Tony, I know you’re hurting, but I truly love you. Otherwise, why would I be willing to carry your child?”Tony looked as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. His expression twisted as he suddenly shoved her away.“Love? If it weren’t for that strong drink at the club

Time flew. Soon, three years had passed. I was living peacefully and fully in a foreign country with my son.Having reclaimed my career in scientific research, the years stolen by marriage and betrayal were slowly filled with professional achievements.Today was a milestone.A cutting-edge research project I had led was being awarded the nation’s highest honor.The ceremony was at the National Conference Center, and the head of state himself would present the medal.I was backstage in a tailored gown, waiting for my turn, when my phone buzzed. A message from Mia appeared.[Astrid, that lunatic Tony found your fake grave. He had the coffin dug up on the spot. When he saw it empty, with just a handful of withered flowers, he started looking for you everywhere. Be careful!]I tapped my reply. [Don’t worry.]I was no longer the Astrid of three years ago.My achievements and my status were my armor, solid enough to protect my son and me.A staff member leaned close. “Professor
