Chapter 3

I switched off the screen and spoke nonchalantly:

"It's nothing, just spam. Information leaks are so bad these days."

"Didn't you say you had a big client coming today? Hurry up and get to work after breakfast!"

He embraced me from behind, resting his head in the crook of my neck, nuzzling gently, seemingly filled with endless affection.

"I'm truly blessed to have married such a considerate darling like you."

I forced a smile, the joy not reaching my eyes.

"When our wedding anniversary comes, I'll give you a big surprise, honey."

"Great, I'll be looking forward to it!"

He's really going to great lengths to make me bear his and Ms. Fallon's child.

It's time to end this marriage built on lies.

After Ivor left, I drove to the law firm.

The lawyer, upon hearing that I was planning to divorce Ivor's wife, immediately inquired about how much of the assets I wanted.

"I don't want anything. I'll leave with nothing but the clothes on my back!"

Under the lawyer's puzzled gaze, I took the printed divorce papers.

I rushed to Ivor's company.

Before I even entered, I overheard employees gathered, gossiping:

"That must be Mr. Gevano's legendary pure love. She's so gorgeous, even prettier than a celebrity! If I were a man, I'd fall for her too.""Do you know? All of our limited-edition bags and jewelry are named after her. Last time, when Manager Fallon just mentioned she liked that billion-dollar piece, Mr. Gevano bought it without even blinking."

"I'm so tired of saying how envious I am. No wonder our company doesn't make any money from collaborations with Winters, yet we do it so often. Turns out it's all because Mr. Gevano wants to see his sweetheart more!"

As I arrived at the top floor office,

The sound of blushing, heart-pounding breaths inside made me stop in my tracks.

Through the gap in the glass door, the scene I saw made me want to retch.

Clothes were scattered all over the floor.

Ms. Fallon lay beneath Ivor, exposing large patches of snow-white skin.

"Ivor, you're still the best to me. Afraid I might suffer in the future, you let Vivienne have our child. If I had to rely on Zoran, I really don't know what kind of life I'd have when I'm old."

Ivor's breathing grew heavier, his eyes reddening with desire.

"Zoran, does he treat you well? Has he bullied you?"

"He's great! Every night he clings to me and won't let go. He agrees to everything I want! Just the other day, he bought me a heart-shaped island."Ivor's voice was filled with bitterness.

"As long as he treats you well, I can rest easy!"

Ms. Fallon wrapped her leg around him, her voice sultry:

"Ivor, you've been so good to me. Since I can't marry you, I can only offer my body as compensation."

Before she could finish speaking, Ivor eagerly kissed her and began moving again.

The air in the room was ignited by their passion.

I never knew,

That Ivor, who was so cold in bed with me,

Had such an impatient side.

The unsightly scene before me made my stomach churn.
