Chapter 1

The room was packed with Josephine Yates' friends and family, all gathered for her birthday.In the center of the room stood a massive, seven-tier cake. The "Happy Birthday" song looped endlessly in the background, making the atmosphere feel entirely surreal.But Josephine kicked everyone out. She stared at the paternity test results, her eyes wide with rage."Whose is it? Who gave birth to this kid? Was it Lydia? Victoria? Or some other bitch?" she demanded.This was the third time she had caught me cheating.Every single time, she reacted with the same hysterical despair and devastation, as if the world were ending.The first time it happened, I panicked and tried to cover it up. The second time, I felt guilty and clumsily made up excuses.But this time, I just felt a wave of irritation."I don't know," I said."What do you mean, you don't know?""I was out socializing back then. I got wasted a few times, so I don't really remember."Josephine stared at me in disbelief, th

Yet, Josephine's hand hit the wall behind me.I opened my eyes, meeting a gaze full of sorrow, agony, and despair. She grabbed her coat and rushed out the door.Staring at the smear of blood left on the wall, I felt an inexplicable knot in my chest.Even at her absolute angriest, Josephine couldn't bring herself to cuss me out, so how could she ever actually strike me?We clearly loved each other deeply, so how did we end up like this?It seemed to come down to nothing more than basic, primal desire.Just then, my phone buzzed. Looking at the screen, I curled my lips into a mocking smirk and took a screenshot. Just as I decided to brew a cup of coffee, Lydia Bennett called.Her voice sounded soft and affectionate. "Luke, I miss you. Can I buy you dinner tonight?""Sure."I tamped down the storm of emotions in me, ended the call, changed my clothes, and headed out.Lydia booked a table at my favorite steakhouse on the west side of town.Inside the private room, candleligh

The lights were off, and in the chaos, something got knocked over.The night should've been intimate and full of passion, but my reflexes outran my thoughts. Unable to shove her away, I struck her right across the face, the sharp smack echoing through the darkness.The room went dead silent.As the lights flickered on, I found myself staring straight into Josephine's eyes, bloodshot and filled with hurt."They're allowed to, so why can't I?" she whispered.I turned my head away and kept my lips pressed into a thin line, staying silent.She bit her lip as tears streamed down her face. "Luke, I'm your wife!""Don't overthink it. The baby has a fever right now, and I'm honestly just not in the mood," I reassured her gently.Josephine stared at me in disbelief. "You're rejecting me over a bastard?""Stop calling my kid a bastard. I don't like it." I frowned.When she looked at me with those wounded eyes, I couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. "Josephine, I want to be a father

Josephine pushed the door open and rushed over the second she saw me, reaching out to grab my hand."Luke, you're awake! Why didn't you call for me? Are you hungry?"Watching her fuss over me, I finally dropped my own act and slapped her hard across the face."Luke…"She froze in her tracks.I stared at her without a shred of emotion. "You had my kid shipped out of the country?"Josephine stood paralyzed, her hands still frozen in mid-air as her fingers began to tremble. "Luke, I..."Her voice turned raspy. "I just wanted us to have a clean slate. As long as that kid is around, there'll always be a thorn in our sides."She took a step forward, trying to wrap her arms around me, but I shoved her away with everything I had."Luke, we're still young. If you want to be a father, I'll head to the clinic today to get my IUD removed. We can start trying immediately, and we can have as many as you want. "A boy who looks just like you, or a girl who takes after you. Whatever you want

Josephine's eyes were bloodshot, her face twisted in agony as she began punching herself in the head over and over again."That's not what happened, Luke! I would've died for Daniel in a heartbeat! I never wanted to betray you. I—""Enough!"I was done with her double life."Josephine, our little toxic love game ends today. I'm playing for keeps now."I let out a soft smile, falling right back into my usual mild-mannered expression. "For starters, that tubal ligation you got? It's completely irreversible. You're never having another kid as long as you live."And another thing," I continued. "Those company shares you gave me to prove your undying devotion? I'm selling them to your bastard half-brother."With that, I turned on my heel and left.Josephine's face went white as she scrambled to chase after me, but Victoria and Lydia were already waiting at the door.For once, the two of them weren't fighting and worked together flawlessly.Victoria stepped in to block Josephine, w

"You're awake."When I finally came to, I was lying in the mansion I had recently purchased.The curtains were half-drawn, allowing the afternoon sun to peek through the gap and cast a single golden beam across the hardwood floor.Lydia sat on the rug by the edge of the bed, holding an art book. Victoria, on the other hand, leaned against the window frame, holding a glass of warm water.The second they noticed I was awake, they both walked over to the bed."What time is it?" I asked, my voice completely shot."2:00 pm."Lydia set the art book down and reached up to press the back of her hand against my forehead. "Your fever broke. You've been out cold for 24 hours."Victoria handed me the water without a word, the temperature of the glass just right. I took a couple of sips before handing it back."Are you hungry?" Lydia asked."A little.""Then get up and eat something."Victoria finally spoke up. "There's some stew simmering on the stove." I paused for a second.These

"I run in those circles, and we honestly thought Josephine was utterly in love with her husband," one comment read. "We even felt sorry for her because he was stepping out on their marriage. Who knew she was this disgusting?"Another wrote, "Nicholas, Jonathan, and Josephine are shameless. They deserve to rot in hell."Our family and friends were just as stunned.Previously, they had been the ones lecturing me to clean up my act and stay on the straight and narrow. Now, they were all up in arms on my behalf.Josephine's father, Gregory Yates, tore into her. "You've completely dragged our family name through the mud!"Nicholas' father issued a formal statement that very night, officially disowning him.Jonathan's neighbors vandalized his apartment, and the management posted a notice demanding he vacate the premises by the end of the week.Yates Group stock hit the daily floor limit for two consecutive sessions.Given the fact that I had already signed over my ten percent stake t

Chapter 8

We won the lawsuit.Josephine and Nicholas were both handed prison sentences for hit-and-run, destroying evidence, and harboring a suspect. Josephine got four years, while Nicholas got three.On sentencing day, as the bailiffs dragged Nicholas away, he thrashed like a lunatic, turning back to scream at the gallery."Josephine! Save me! You promised you'd have my back forever!"Josephine's eyes remained completely blank. She kept her gaze fixed on me and didn't spare him a single glance.The child Nicholas left behind was dumped on his stepmother, who absolutely detested him, and that hatred trickled right down to the boy.I heard that on his very first day home, she locked the boy in the attic and withheld his meals.Jonathan didn't skate by either.The attorney I hired recovered every single penny Josephine had squandered on him. The house, the car, the luxury items—everything was liquidated and returned to the estate.Overnight, he went from a high-rolling CEO's lover drivin
