All Chapters of When I Found Out My Husband Betrayed Me, I Divorced Him: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I stood up, gripping Edward’s phone tightly in my hand, and walked toward the study step by step.It was only a short distance away.Yet every step felt impossibly heavy.I had never entered Edward’s study before.I never wanted to interfere with his work .I never expected that the first time I stepped inside would be because I was catching him cheating.I pushed open the study door.The room was a complete mess.Various strange adult toys hung on the walls.Several unopened boxes of condoms were scattered across the floor.Last night, when my pregnancy sickness became unbearable, Edward had stayed by my side, desperately trying to find ways to ease my discomfort.But he hadn’t stayed with me through the entire night like he used to.He told me he had something important to handle and left in a hurry.I thought that “important matter” was Family business.I never imagined it was rushing here to sleep with his mistress.I returned to the bedroom in a daze.Sitting on the sofa, my hands

The next morning, Edward came home early and made breakfast for me.As usual, he called out to me affectionately to wake me up.“Wake up, sweet.”Hearing his voice, every word I had heard him say to Alice came rushing back to me, each one piercing my heart like a needle.Tears suddenly spilled down my cheeks, and no matter how I opened my mouth, I couldn’t get a single word out.Seeing me like this, Edward panicked and pulled me tightly into his arms.“Monica, are you angry because I didn’t come home last night? There was so much going on with the Family yesterday. You’ve always been the one who understands me best, Monica.”When Edward saw that I still refused to respond to him, a flicker of panic and guilt crossed his eyes.“I was wrong. I promise I won’t do it again.”I turned over and suddenly straddled him.With tears in my eyes, I whispered, “The doctor said it’s safe to have sex at seven months.”I caught the unfamiliar scent of perfume on him.Suppressing my nausea, I leaned do

Early the next morning, all the servants in the house were nowhere to be found.I had no choice but to leave alone for my prenatal checkup.A black SUV silently glided toward me and stopped directly in my path.Three men jumped out.The man leading them was Edward’s distant cousin, Lorenzo.“Donna.”He flashed me a grin.“Oh, no. I should call you a traitor.”“Get out of my way.”My voice trembled.Lorenzo calmly pulled out a phone.My profile photo was displayed prominently on the screen, with four words in red beside it:FAMILY TRAITOR.He tilted the screen toward me.“You didn’t know, did you?”“Miss Alice uploaded a detailed account of what happened back then to the Family’s internal network.”“How do you still have the nerve to stay in Sicily, let alone remain by the Don’s side?”He raised his fist and drove it into my stomach.Pain exploded through me like a bolt of lightning.My entire body doubled over, my knees crashing onto the ground as both hands instinctively shielded my a

Lilith had already arranged a private flight to the United States.By the time I arrived at the airport, the sky was beginning to darken.I didn’t tell anyone where I was going.Only Lilith knew.I deleted my old phone number.I changed my contact information.I left behind almost everything that connected me to the woman I had once been.When the plane finally took off, I rested my forehead against the cold window.The gray-blue Mediterranean slowly disappeared beneath the clouds.I stared at it until my eyes began to ache.This was the place where I had grown up.The place where my parents had died.The place where I had met Edward.The place where I had loved him.And the place where I had lost my child.I closed my eyes.“Goodbye, Sicily.”A tear slipped silently down my cheek.Lilith stayed beside me until I was settled in a small apartment on the outskirts of the city.She wanted to stay.I refused.“You have to go back.”“Monica…”“I’ll be fine.”She looked at me for a long time

Edward had only one thought in his mind.He had to get Monica back.He had to tell her that she was the only woman he had ever loved.On the way, he called his underboss to ask about Monica’s whereabouts.The underboss hesitated before answering.“Don, the Donna left Sicily last night.”“I called you, but Miss Alice answered. She said you already knew and told me not to worry about it.”Edward felt as if he had stopped breathing.Monica had left?How could she bear to leave him?How could she leave without even caring about their child?The underboss hesitated again.“There’s something else you should probably know.”“The Donna lost the baby because Lorenzo and his men cornered her and beat her.”Edward couldn’t believe what he had heard.He asked again.“What did you say?”“Monica lost the baby?” Edward’s grip on the phone tightened abruptly, his knuckles turning white.He pulled up the phone and immediately turned the car around.Alice was still lying on her bedroom bed, clutching h
