"Mr. Harrington, Seraphina and I are the legitimate married couple. Please leave immediately."
At my darling's tenth wedding anniversary celebration, her sports academy assistant looked at me with disdain, shoving a bright red marriage certificate in my face.
Everyone stared at me in shock, then turned to look at my darling and Langdon, who were arm in arm.
Langdon gazed around the room arrogantly,
"Rylan, back then, Seraphina was just trying to avoid pressure from her family to get married. I was still in high school, so we temporarily let you stay by her side. Now that I've made a name for myself, it's time you knew the truth. Seraphina and I are the ones truly in love."
I looked at the marriage certificate in disbelief, then turned to Seraphina, "Darling, didn't you say you two were just siblings? Tell me he's lying, that this is all fake."
The next moment, Seraphina spoke impatiently,
"It's not like you're anything special in looks or stamina. What's wrong with me choosing a father with superior genes for my child?"

Recruitment For Surrogacy

Seraphina rushed to stand in front of the table.


"Stop it, stop it! I apologize on Langdon's behalf," she pleaded.


"Rylan, you know Langdon is young and hot-blooded. Don't take it personally. So what if he slapped you? It's not a big deal, let it go."


I looked at Seraphina scornfully. If you didn't know better, you'd think she was talking about her son, not her husband. Young? He's twenty-five, for crying out loud. How is that still a kid?


And "hot-blooded"? Where was all that passion when he faced AceHenchman? More like a bully who picks on the weak and cowers before the strong.


But I didn't want to waste my breath on her. She made her bed, now she can lie in it. I won't be looking out for her anymore.


From the moment we stepped into the police station and she could shamelessly accuse me of rape, I knew she had changed.
