Chapter 1

Seth's POVI was handling Mom's funeral arrangements, but my phone wouldn't stop ringing. "Seth, congratulations on becoming a father! We didn't hear so much as a whisper about such a big deal. You and Regina sure know how to keep a secret."I smiled bitterly. To be honest, I'd only found out recently myself. To make matters worse, the baby wasn't even mine. I raised my hand and tapped on my wife, Regina Morgan's, social feed. She had posted a photo of herself with the newborn baby, captioned. "Ten months of waiting, a lifetime of love and protection. There's another little man in the family to protect me now." It was a heartwarming photo. Her smile was gentle, and her eyes were filled with tears of happiness. Our friends congratulated her in the comments, calling me one lucky guy. My nose prickled as I looked at the photo. This was a scene I had pictured in my head countless times. However, she was a classic career woman. She insisted on being DINKs, claiming that having a

Chapter 2

Seth's POVAfter hearing that, Regina snorted. "Did you hear that? Lucas is so much more understanding than you. Forget it. I'll let it slide since you didn't do it on purpose. As long as you make me a postpartum recovery meal right now, I'll forgive you." Of course, he could afford to be magnanimous. He wasn't the victim. I rolled my eyes and remained silent.Lucas sighed enviously. "Kids from poor families grow up fast. They're good at looking after others, too. Unlike me, who can't do anything right and even needs a pregnant woman like you to cater to me." He made it sound as though he was praising me, but he was really just finding another way to show off how good Regina was to him. Regina didn't pick up on his hidden jab. In fact, she giggled. "I think you're wonderful. You're just not good at cooking. However, that's okay. "Seth can cook for us. He's really good at it. You should taste his food later."I rolled my eyes and spat out, "I'm busy."The cheerful laughter o

Chapter 3

Seth's POVThe short video ended with the reporter offering their congratulations. After exiting the video, I realized that Sharon'd clicked on a clarification post. The trending topic at the moment was Regina's scandal. "Famous Businesswoman Regina Morgan Revealed to Have Been Married for Years Yet Rekindles Romance with First Love Lucas Jenson and Gives Birth to His Illegitimate Child." The woman who had once insisted on keeping her marriage a secret for the sake of her career couldn't bear to see Lucas being cyberbullied, so she had gone so far as to bring in reporters to clear his name. Regina had made countless excuses, but in reality, she simply didn't love me. I was lost in thought when someone abruptly shoved me, nearly making me lose my footing. "Give me that phone, you blockhead!" When I remained silent, Sharon snatched her phone out of my hand and called Regina.Regina answered almost instantaneously. Assuming I'd called to confront her about publicly acknowled

Chapter 4

Seth's POVRegina was grateful that I'd stepped in to save her from humiliation, so she swore she'd never let me down. After we got married, she kept her promise. Still, we had always been subjected to gossip and malicious remarks from the outside world. Regina was willing to go head-to-head with her peers to protect me. She held my hand as she led me home. "If any of them dare mess with you, you can put them in their place. Don't worry about the consequences. I'll always have your back!"I couldn't help but ask, "Is it really worth giving up a million-dollar project for my sake?" However, she held my gaze and smiled. "Don't forget, you're my husband, Seth. Aside from me, no one has the right to pick on you." I used to think that was love. I turned a blind eye to so many of her flaws because, as long as she stood up for me, that was enough. That was until Lucas returned a year ago. With just a few words, he made Regina forget the pain he'd once caused her and welcomed him b

Chapter 5

Seth's POVRegina was dumbfounded. She seized my arm. "What on earth is wrong with you?"I had brought up divorce so many times, yet she still thought I was just throwing a tantrum. "I'm serious. I wish you both well. After seven years apart, you've finally found your way back to each other."I'd once trashed our home in an attempt to keep Regina and Lucas apart. She'd called me immature, put me under house arrest for a week, and took off on a trip with Lucas instead. Now that I was sincerely wishing them well, instead of being relieved, Regina scowled at me. "I've already apologized and given you gifts, Seth. If you're still unsatisfied, just tell me what you want, okay?" Having said that, she suddenly remembered something and muttered to herself, "Hold on… You would never be this cruel to me. This must be your mother's idea!"Regina was furious, and she dialed Mom's number. However, the phone in my pocket began to ring. Regina still thought I'd hidden Mom somewhere. "Seth

Chapter 6

Third-person POV"What? My mother-in-law is dead?" Regina stared at the officers before her in disbelief. She took one look at Lucas, who was standing beside her, and instantly put her guard up. "When did my mother-in-law pass away?"The police officer frowned. "Last Monday."Regina scoffed. "Nonsense. My mother-in-law was perfectly fine last Monday. She even had enough energy to throw hands. "Did he hire you to pretend to be cops? Where'd you buy your uniforms? They're pretty convincing." Regina completely relaxed, assuming they were actors hired by Seth. Seth had made so many threats yesterday that she'd actually thought he was going to leave her. Yet, after only a night, he was already so impatient that he'd sent people over to put on a show. Lost in her own reverie, she failed to notice that Lucas' face had turned ghastly white. He, who was usually so talkative, was dead silent at this moment, wishing he could become invisible. Noticing she was all smiles, the poli

Chapter 7

Third-person POVHowever, Regina was well aware that it was wrong. She told herself time and time again that Lucas was a liar, yet she still couldn't help but believe him.The moment she learned that Lucas' days were numbered, all her lingering resentment dissolved into smoke. All she wanted was to put an end to everything once and for all, to help him one final time and, in doing so, help herself move on, too. Little did she know, she'd been deceived once again.Lucas was perfectly fine. Everything he'd done had been nothing more than an elaborate scheme to trick her into having his child. Because of that lie, she'd given Seth the silent treatment for nine months, and she hadn't even dared to reach out to him. She'd wanted to wait until the dust settled. Regina had thought that since Seth knew about her history with Lucas and was still willing to marry her, what difference would one more child make? She'd firmly believed that even at their wedding seven years ago, Seth woul

Chapter 8

Seth's POVMom told me she was getting old and didn't want to get in my way. Last time, when Dad's grave was dug up, no one was more heartbroken or devastated than Mom. Yet, she knew I couldn't let go of Regina, so she comforted me and even made excuses for Regina. "Reggie wants to be childfree, and us dinosaurs just don't understand your modern trends. Maybe your mother-in-law has been pressuring her too much to have a baby, and she's been bottling up her frustration for a while. That's probably why her reaction was so extreme."At the end of the day, you two are married. If you have an issue, you should talk it out and work it through. You can't keep giving each other the silent treatment like this. Hurry up and find an excuse to make up with her already." Looking at her white hair, I refused to compromise. I was a good employee at work, a dutiful husband at home, and a son-in-law Sharon could count on. However, the one role I'd failed at was being a good son. I couldn'

Chapter 9

Seth's POVI had left Mom's death in the hands of the cops and entrusted the divorce proceedings to my lawyer. Regina, the woman I'd once loved with every fiber of my being, was someone I no longer wanted to see, not even for a second. If it weren't for the pending divorce lawsuit that made cutting contact impossible, I wouldn't have even answered this call. Regina wasn't upset in the slightest. In fact, she actually apologized to me for once. "I'm terribly sorry about what happened to your mother, but I never intended to take her life. Even though I didn't particularly like her, I never slighted her when it came to gifts. "Winona's gone now, but the living still have to carry on with their lives, don't they? She would want you to be happy, too. She also—" "That's enough!" I snapped, cutting her off. "It was precisely because she wanted me to be happy so badly that she endured everything for my sake, only to end up dead by your hands! Regina Morgan, are you telling me all this

Chapter 10

Seth's POVRegina had committed a crime, and she'd had to go to prison to atone for her own actions. Unwilling to listen to her endless rambling any longer, I cut her off. "That's enough. I don't want to hear it. We're over. There's no going back. From now on, don't call me unless it's about the divorce!""Hold on, Seth!" Regina panicked, afraid I wouldn't hear her out. "If you're upset about that child's existence, I can give him up for adoption. Can you come back and give me another chance? Didn't your mother always want to see you have a child while she was alive? We can have one of our own and make her dream come true!"Irritated, I hung up on her.Regina's name popped up on my screen again in no time. I couldn't be bothered to listen to another word from her. I messaged my lawyer and left Regina's case entirely in his hands. I was determined to get divorced. …A month after Mom passed away, I still hadn't come to terms with her death. Every corner of this house was fill
