"Once you sign this contract, you and Nolan will no longer be married. Are you really willing to give up everything you have now?"
Nolan's mother typed the message on her phone and handed it to me, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
I lowered my head, signed my name, and left without looking back.
Everyone knows how difficult these years have been for Nolan and me. I lost my hearing to save him, and he defied his family to marry me.
People envied how deeply Nolan loved me, and even I thought I had found redemption.
But on the day I regained my hearing, I discovered Nolan had another family outside our marriage.
"I wonder if Scarlett would go insane if she knew that instead of sending me to jail, you've been having children with me?"
The woman straddled Nolan's lap, the picture of seduction.
She was Vivienne, the one who had loved Nolan unrequitedly years ago and ran me over with her car, leaving me deaf.

Recovering My Hearing, I Got Divorced

"Nolan doesn't deserve you. I have evidence that can help you."


Only then did I remember that this woman was our neighbor Callie from when we moved into the new complex. She and Nolan had never really gotten along.


Nolan would always tell me to stay away from her, and back then, I listened to everything Nolan said.


Callie was very friendly to me at first, especially since we were both pregnant at the same time.


After I miscarried, she even had her personal nutritionist prepare special meals for me, but I refused her kindness because of Nolan.


As time passed, our relationship grew distant.


Later, her whole family moved abroad and never came back.


A ping sounded, and a long video appeared on my phone.


When I opened it, I realized it was footage Callie had secretly recorded of Nolan and Vivienne.


The earliest clip was from five years ago, documenting Nolan and Vivienne's daily life in the complex after Vivienne's pregnancy and childbirth.
