The words had barely left my mouth when Keira, who was cutting cake nearby, burst out laughing."Vivian, come on. It's just a birthday wish. If you're jealous, just say so. There's no need to joke about being pregnant."Adrian patted my shoulder. "She's right, Vivian. Don't be so petty. I'm only marrying her for one day. As soon as her birthday is over, we'll remarry right away."Right in front of me, Keira fed a piece of cake into Adrian's mouth. "Granting my birthday wish every year is our tradition since we were kids. Don't take it personally."Then she hooked her arm around Adrian's shoulder and urged, "Hurry up. My birthday only lasts one day, and I don't want to waste it."Adrian immediately called his lawyer and told him to bring over a divorce agreement as fast as possible.While Adrian wasn't looking, Keira shot me a smug, taunting glance.Adrian and I had been married for five years. I was a medical officer in his unit, and I had walked beside him all the way from enlisted so

The announcement for tomorrow's research presentation had been revised: my name was gone, replaced by Keira's.That was the last straw. I picked up the phone and held it out to Adrian."What is this?" I demanded.Adrian looked unconcerned. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Keira is up for a medical advisory position. This paper would really help her application, so I changed the author.""I spent three years on this research. Why should I hand it over to her?""Isn't medical research supposed to benefit society? As long as it gets published, that's all that matters. Who the author is doesn't matter at all.""Vivian, since when did you become so obsessed with fame?"His words almost made me laugh in disbelief. "I'm obsessed with fame? If the author doesn't matter, then why change it to hers?"Adrian's patience snapped. "Vivian, don't forget that every piece of medical equipment and every resource for your research came from me. Without me, you're nothing."The final announcement also named Kei

I stared at the cold words on the screen, thinking of the baby I had lost.I blocked his number.I turned to Nathan."Nathan, I need your help. I know you're the medical director here. Discharge me, remove me from the patient directory, lock down my chart, and call your sister."Nathan could guess what I was planning. "I can call my sister, that's no problem. But you haven't recovered yet. I can't discharge you now."I struggled to sit up, and Nathan rushed to steady me."We're both doctors. I know exactly what condition I'm in. Just do what I'm asking."Adrian, I would make you pay twice over for every ounce of pain you'd caused me.Early the next morning, Adrian got out of bed, ready to head out.Still half-asleep in a silk nightgown, Keira wrapped her arms around him from behind, her voice soft and petulant."Where are you going?"Adrian pulled her off and started getting dressed. "You're awake. Good. Get ready. We're going to file for divorce."Keira froze, all traces of sleep gone

The accusation was razor-sharp and left Keira no room to hide.Keira went pale but tried to sound calm as she shot back. "I wrote this. I conducted every experiment myself. I spent three years on this paper. How dare you accuse me of stealing?"The journalist didn't flinch. Instead, she produced even stronger evidence."According to our investigation, the original first author of this paper was a woman named Vivian Clarke. The name was changed just one day before this conference. Care to explain that?"Keira instinctively stepped back. She had no idea how a journalist had gotten access to that kind of internal information.A few miles away in a hotel room, I watched on my phone with interest as Keira floundered in panic.That's right. I had leaked every piece of information myself.But I was far from done.Other reporters piled on with their own questions, and the room descended into chaos.While Keira was still reeling, I detonated the real bombshell.The massive screen behind Keira f
