I put on my raincoat and rushed out into the pouring rain under Sarah Higgins’s surprised gaze. I hurried over to the neighborhood mail delivery hub and read my package number to the guy running the counter.The guy’s expression was terrible. He yanked the box of formula from the bottom shelf and slammed it right onto my foot. Pain shot up my leg as my ankle instantly swelled up, going red and numb.“What’s your problem?” I glared at him in confusion.Instead of backing down, the guy grew even more agitated, shaking his fists as he cursed at me. “Were you the one who chewed me out on the phone last night? Are you out of your mind?“I called your wife several times yesterday afternoon, urging her to pick up her package, but she ignored all my calls! Then at midnight, you call me a home-wrecker, accusing me of seducing your woman?”I froze, and color drained from my face.I had long promised my news anchor wife that if she were willing to sacrifice her career to have a child, I wou

“The audience says they hope I take over your show permanently. They find me much more attractive to look at,” Mark said.My eyes swept over his bespoke suit and the expensive brooch pinned to his lapel. A sudden, numbing pain pierced my heart. I had seen all those items sitting in Sarah’s online shopping cart, each meticulously handpicked by her.As my mind drifted, Mark pulled a bottle of cologne from his bag and held it out to me. “Sarah always says that a pleasant scent is a basic mark of a gentleman. Just smell yourself. You smell of spoiled milk.“Here, you can have this cologne. Sarah’s bought me so many anyway. Consider it my thanks for handing your show over to me.”Before I could refuse, Sarah snatched the cologne and shoved it back into his bag. “He doesn’t use stuff like this. You keep it.”I looked down at the milk stains on the hem of my shirt, a bitter feeling swelling inside me. Once upon a time, I was a glowing, renowned news reporter who loved high-end fashion an

Standing outside the door, I touched Lily’s forehead, which was growing hotter by the minute, and begged the nurse with a hoarse voice, “Please save my daughter…”The nurse took pity on us and, ten minutes later, knocked on the emergency room door again.“Please come look at the child outside. She’s burning up so bad she can’t even cry anymore.”Sarah’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly followed the nurse outside the emergency room, and when she saw me on the floor, unable to get up, her expression turned somber.Sarah took Lily into her arms and, startled by her heat, called urgently for a doctor.Turning back, she lectured me sternly, “If you hadn’t used Lily to make a scene, how could she have caught a cold and gotten a fever?”Watching Lily being taken into the emergency room, I finally couldn’t hold on any longer and passed out. I lay in bed in a daze for two days, my body cycling between cold and burning hot. A few times, I felt my soul leave my body, floating upward as I

“Harry, I remember you love that brand of hot chocolate. Every year when I go down south for location scouting, you’d always ask me to bring some back for you. Honey, the title of this house has officially been transferred under both our names now. It’s our joint property.”I didn’t touch the cup of hot chocolate, merely nodding thoughtfully. She tried to wrap her arms around me from behind, but my next words froze her in her tracks.“Then that brings up the issue of property division.”“Harry!”Sarah’s face darkened as she grabbed my collar and pulled me close to her. However, the moment her eyes met mine, she was stunned to realize that there was nothing in my gaze except indifference.With a look of disgust, I brushed her hands away and said in a calm tone, “Sarah, let me emphasize this one last time: I want a divorce. We are over. Even when Lily starts school, there’s no need for us to hide anything. We’ll just explain the situation to her teachers. I’m confident that people t

I sorted through the evidence I had compiled long ago, getting ready to hit send as soon as I edited it. Yet, before I could, Sarah released a public apology that caught the entire internet off guard.She opened Mark’s profile on WhatsApp and initiated a video call.Mark answered, looking so relieved. “Sarah! You’re finally stepping up to clarify things for me. You have no idea how horribly those haters have been dragging me online lately…”Sarah simply held her phone up to her camera, proving to the viewers that the account belonged to Mark himself. Then, she hung up.Next, she scrolled up through their WhatsApp chat history. She exposed even more evidence of her and Mark’s flirty interactions and hotel hookups—details I hadn’t even seen before, including the entire process of how they had conspired to use sleeping pills to harm me. Among the evidence was Mark’s purchase history, which hammered the last nail into his coffin and destroyed him.Mark tried calling Sarah back frantic
