Chapter 1

My wife invited her new male assistant into a private luxury room."Thanks to my assistant, Julian, we wrapped up last month's investment project with ease. I've seen how hard he's worked this past month."I was stunned. Everyone sitting at that table was a senior figure in the company. He was just a new intern. What gave him the right to stand out like that?However, my wife kept smiling as she went on."While we're celebrating tonight, I want to make an announcement. I'll be transferring ten percent of the company's shares to Julian as recognition. From now on, we're no longer just an employer and an employee. We're partners."The moment she finished, the room exploded into noise, followed by loud applause.Julian Wallace's eyes turned red. He looked overwhelmed. My wife, Cecilia Shaw, gently handed him a tissue.One of the shareholders raised his glass with a grin."Julian, congratulations. Looking forward to working with you."Julian awkwardly lifted his glass, but Cecilia

Julian crossed his arms and let out a mocking laugh, the corner of his mouth curling up."Kent, I don't think you understand the situation."I'm the CEO's special assistant and a shareholder. And you're telling me to get out?"You should really take a look at yourself. If Ms. Shaw hadn't taken a liking to you, you wouldn't even be sitting in that sales manager seat."Right now, go and apologize to Ms. Shaw. Then…"His voice grated on my nerves. I stood up and drove my fist straight into his face.He staggered and fell to the ground just as Cecilia pushed the door open.Her expression tightened instantly. She rushed over, pulled Julian into her arms, and asked if he was okay. Then, she looked up at me, her eyes sharp and venomous."Kent, you've gone too far. Julian and I are just colleagues."Even if you're jealous of him, you can't just hit him. Why can't you talk things out like a normal person?"Jealous?Cecilia had read too much into the situation."Cecilia, you've got i

"Cecilia already lowered herself to cook for you. What else are you unhappy about?"Julian pointed at me and started yelling. "I even came to your house to apologize in person. What more do you want? I'm warning you; don't push your luck!"I laughed when I heard that. Then, I took off my tailored suit and my expensive watch. I did not want them to get damaged.As I walked toward him, I asked, "Julian, do you really deserve to use the words in person? Is your apology worth anything?"Julian did not care. He kept shouting. "Still better than you. If Cecilia hadn't lifted you up, you wouldn't even be qualified to talk to me!"Just as I was about to make a move, he suddenly dropped to a squat at my feet and grabbed onto my leg."What? Are you going to hit me again?"Go ahead, hit me as hard as you want. The more you hit me, the more Cecilia will feel sorry for me."And the worse you'll look in her eyes. She'll definitely divorce you. And when that happens, your wife will become my

Cecilia stared at the contract in disbelief. She picked it up and carefully checked the signature line.It was not stamped with Ascendant Group's official seal. It was signed with Kent's personal name."How is this possible?" Flustered and furious, she turned to Julian. "Didn't you say you worked on this project for months and closed the deal yourself? Why is Kent's name on it instead of the company seal?"Julian stammered, unable to give a clear answer. In that instant, Cecilia understood everything.He had taken the credit right in front of her.She turned back to me, her face full of regret. "Honey, I…I really didn't know it was you…""Enough." I cut her off."I told you before that I was the one who closed that deal. Did you believe me? You chose to trust a new intern over your husband of three years."However, it doesn't matter anymore. From now on, I'm not your husband."Cecilia looked like she was about to fall apart."No, that's not it. Honey, things really aren't wha

Julian looked like he could not sit still. The words clearly hit him harder than anything else."What? But… This… How is this possible? How did it turn out like this?"Cecilia's expression turned icy."There's nothing between us. Even if there were, even if I really divorced Kent, I still wouldn't choose you."Julian froze. "Then, what am I?""A man who tried to climb up the social ladder by using a woman. Someone who wanted to attach himself to me. Isn't that obvious enough?"Julian opened his mouth, but no words came out. "I… This… I…"Cecilia kept staring at him."I got close to you on purpose because Kent didn't treat me the way he used to. I just wanted to make him jealous."Bringing you home yesterday was also deliberate. I wanted to provoke him, to make him realize how important I am to him."Otherwise, why would I ever let trash like you feed me? And just happen to let Kent see it?""You…" Julian's world seemed to collapse in that instant."You used me?" His voice w

She had crossed my bottom line. I could not accept it.I pointed at the door of the conference room and said, "You and your assistant are both fired. Now, take him and leave. Don't interrupt the rest of our meeting."Cecilia collapsed into her chair, her face blank. It was as if her mind had completely shut down.Julian stood beside her, pale as paper, not daring to say another word.I did not bother with them anymore. I called in security and had them escorted out.After they were gone, Sarah finally sat down and continued the discussion on behalf of the client. Together, we finalized the remaining details with Ascendant Group.The client was satisfied. The partnership would continue.After work, I invited Sarah out to dinner. She smiled, a little teasingly, and asked, "Haven't we already resolved everything for the next phase of our cooperation? Why are you still treating me to dinner?"I laughed. "It's for something personal."She agreed without hesitation. We had dinner to

The first image showed a swimming facility. Cecilia was lying on a lounge chair in a bikini, while Julian straddled her, giving her a massage.The second image showed the two of them wearing masks, sneaking into a hospital's obstetrics department for a pregnancy checkup.There was also a short video. The moment I tapped on it, I wished I had not.I slapped myself hard across the face.What an idiot!Previously, for a few seconds, I had actually hesitated.Right then, the door opened. Julian and Cecilia had returned.Julian's shirt was half open, his whole appearance disheveled. The moment they stepped in and saw me, the air froze.His voice trembled. "Mr. Stewart… It's my fault. I overestimated myself. Please don't hold it against me."If you're still angry, take it out on me. You can blame me, however you want, but please don't divorce Cecilia."I thought it through last night. I'm nothing, and I don't deserve her. I won't appear in your lives again."As long as you're will

Chapter 8

As Cecilia's belly grew bigger day by day, my wedding with Sarah drew closer.During that time, I quietly had my lawyer file for a court divorce. By the time everything was finalized, Cecilia and I were no longer legally married.She just did not know it yet.'If you can be heartless to me, then don't blame me for doing the same. You want to have that child? Go ahead. It is not mine anyway. When the time comes, we'll see if you and Julian can handle everything that follows.'That was what I told myself.The day Cecilia was admitted to the hospital to give birth, I did not go.Why would I? It was not my child.Instead, I was getting engaged to Sarah. We exchanged rings.While Sarah and I went on our honeymoon, Cecilia stayed home to recover after childbirth. I had already arranged professional care for her and made sure her daily needs were taken care of.I had done my part.On the day of my wedding, Cecilia finally found out. She could not hold it in anymore.She called Juli
