Chapter 1

For the past six months, I was away on a business trip. During this time, my wife, Vanessa Hudson, refused to answer my calls. Today was our wedding anniversary, so I rushed home to surprise her.I glanced at the necklace in my hand, an anniversary gift I had picked out for her. Then, I rang the doorbell. After a long wait, the door finally flew open."Why are you back?" Vanessa asked coldly.She didn't look pleased to see me at all. I stared at her loose pajamas and disheveled hair. I could hardly believe my eyes. Vanessa had always been a neat freak. She would never allow her appearance to be less than perfect. But now, she looked completely unkempt.Soon, I noticed that her belly was slightly swollen. Once she realized where I was looking, she hastily turned away and shielded her stomach from view. Then, she grabbed my arm and pulled me inside.Her unusual behavior made me feel uneasy. The house looked mostly the same, but the couch was covered with various baby cloth

Two years ago, she was afraid of developing stretch marks. So, she begged me to agree to abort our unborn child. "I don't want kids. Giving birth alters your appearance. If I become ugly, you're not going to love me anymore," she cried.The news was too much for my grandmother, who had always wanted great-grandchildren. Unfortunately, she passed away due to emotional distress. Due to her passing, my parents and I grew distant.I understood her desire to stay beautiful. Hence, from that day onward, I never pressured her to have children again. But now, she had broken her own principles for another man. By doing so, she had turned my love for her into a complete joke. "Aren't you going to tell me the truth, Vanessa? What's going on with you and Harold?" I asked again."Since you've already found out, there's no point in hiding it from you anymore. That's right—I'm pregnant. I'm already three months along."I scoffed wryly. "You're finally admitting it.""What did I ever do to yo

To pass the time, I lay on the hotel bed and mindlessly scrolled through my phone. While browsing social media, I noticed that Vanessa had uploaded a new photo.It was a picture of a steaming bowl of chicken soup on a table. "Feeling blessed. Good food, a beautiful view and great company," her caption read.How interesting. I liked the photo and left a comment. "Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness," I typed.The next moment, I received a call from Vanessa herself.Once I put the call on speakerphone, her sharp, piercing voice immediately filled the room. "Charles Fletcher, when are you going to stop? You're so petty. I can sense your jealousy from a mile away!"I was just about to snap at her when I heard Harold's voice in the background."Don't get too worked up, Vanessa. It's not good for the baby," he said."I'm not coming home tonight, Charles," Vanessa added. "Who knows what else you might do when you get upset?""What did he do to you and the baby, Vanessa?" Ha

"Get your facts straight. You're the one who cheated. I'm already doing you a favor by not letting you leave this marriage empty-handed. Don't push your luck," I said coolly."I'm taking the money and the house. You should walk away with nothing. I got an abortion for you. These assets should be enough to count as compensation," Vanessa shot back.I let out a cold laugh. I couldn't believe how shameless she was. How could she bring up the abortion? I would never get over the pain of losing that baby. And now, she was using it as a bargaining chip. Despite our current situation, I used to love her. So, I had originally planned on leaving her the house. But that wouldn't be necessary anymore. Now, I refused to give her anything. I picked up the divorce papers and tore them to shreds. "I'll see you in court. This time, I won't give you a single cent."I strode out of the house and called my lawyer, William Cowan, as I left.William was one of my closest friends in college, and h

Harold shoved me aside and rushed forward to grab Vanessa's hand. "I'm sorry, Vanessa. I didn't mean to abandon you. I assumed that Charles wouldn't turn his back on you. I didn't think he would be so heartless," Harold said, shooting me a glare.Once he showed up, Vanessa quickly latched onto him before growing teary and upset. As she gently pounded on his chest, the pair began to openly flirt in front of everyone.Their behavior made me sick, and I didn't want to stay in that place for another second.All of a sudden, Harold grabbed me like a madman and shouted, "You nearly caused my wife to miscarry! You can't just walk away like this."His blatant accusation immediately drew the attention of a large crowd. In the blink of an eye, the area became overrun with spectators."Help us out, everyone! My wife and I have suffered so much. It took us forever to get pregnant, and we almost lost our baby earlier!" he yelled.After a brief pause, he turned toward me and spat, "You can't

After I was done handling this matter, I boarded a plane to Gresia.I had just been appointed general manager of a branch company and was extremely busy, so I left the divorce proceedings entirely in William's hands.William patted his chest and assured me he'd handle everything. Given that everyone on the internet knew about what Vanessa had done, it was guaranteed she'd walk away with nothing.Leaving a familiar environment for a foreign country was a bit hard for me to get used to. On top of that, the branch company had just been established, and I had many things to handle personally, which kept me swamped with work.What I didn't expect was for Cindy to come and help me sort things out at the branch. It felt like we had been transported back to our student days, constantly inseparable.The company staff teased us about it, and Cindy never denied it. Gradually, I came to understand her feelings.Cindy was a good woman, but I couldn't hold her back. My marriage wasn't over yet

Chapter 7

I called Cindy and explained the situation, to which she confidently assured me that she would have news about the child within three days. After all, she had a very extensive network.The way I spoke to Cindy was noticeably different from how I spoke to others, as an indescribable tenderness and affection would fill my voice. This made Vanessa sense something was up.Thus, after I hung up, she insisted on staying with me even when William told her to go back home and wait for updates. While I wasn't paying attention, she grabbed my hand and refused to let go no matter what."Charles, is there someone else? Why are you treating me like this? Don't you love me anymore?"She raised her hand to show me a ring on her finger. It was our wedding ring.Unfortunately for her, things had already changed."You said you would love me for a lifetime. How can you be with someone else? I refuse to believe you don't love me anymore," Vanessa continued.I let out a derisive laugh. "How do you s

After that, the heiress personally went to Merinica, where she had Harold physically castrated before using her influence to have him and his parents deported from the country.The woman also deeply resented the child. She had originally wanted to just give him to a homeless person, but after Cindy's earnest persuasion, she finally agreed to spare the child.In the end, I returned the child to Vanessa, who wept with joy and nearly kneeled before my feet. But when I asked her to keep her promise and divorce me, she lost it and started making a scene."Charlie, our son has returned! Let's live well together as a family of three! "Don't go to another woman. I'll do whatever you say. I won't cause any more trouble. Please don't abandon the child and me!"She raised her wedding ring again, trying to play on my emotions. "You said that as long as we had the ring, you would always love me. You can't go back on your word."I felt no satisfaction seeing her in a deranged state. I only fe

Upon seeing the blood in front of him, Harold jolted to his senses. He dropped the knife and tried to run, but was stopped by the security guards Cindy called over. They pinned him down and called the police immediately."Charlie, I'm sorry. You treated me so well, but I was never satisfied. I was living a good life, but I messed it all up. I regret it so much," Vanessa mumbled.I looked at her but couldn't say a word, my throat tight with emotion."Hold on. The ambulance is coming soon," I finally choked out."Charlie, I love you. And the child… Take good care of him."As she finished speaking, Vanessa's hand slid off my face, and she fell completely still.I had finally gotten rid of this woman, but I felt an emptiness in my heart.Cindy patted me gently, as if to comfort me. I held her hand in return and managed to force a small smile toward her.…Later on, Harold was prosecuted for drug use and intentional homicide. There was overwhelming evidence and witness testimonie
