Semua Bab Forced to Buy My Wife's First Love a Home: Bab 1 - Bab 8

I couldn't help but curl my lip into a bitter smile as I watched Marissa and Dominic flirting right in front of me. Marissa was always repulsed by my touch, so doing something so intimate like tucking her hair behind her ear was just out of the question. When we shared a bed, the boundary between us was clear, with a massive body pillow positioned between us.According to her, she was waiting for my family to accept her before she could bring herself to come close to me. But the truth was, I already had a falling out with my family, all for her sake. My mother even suffered a heart attack from the stress and anger, and she forbade me from visiting her. Marissa kept chatting with Dominic, a youthful bashfulness playing on her face. She handed the shopping bags of suits to him and said, "Please don't feel pressured, Dom. It makes me happy to be able to get you things." I recognized the brand logo on those bags. The suits were on the pricier side. Clearly, Marissa had no problem sp

This wasn't Marissa's first time forcing me to back down by playing the divorce card. The last time it happened, she'd aborted our child behind my back. In the same way, she wailed hysterically about wanting to divorce me. I could still vividly remember the way she looked when she made a scene. She had once been pregnant, but she decided—unilaterally—to abort the baby before I even found out. I only learned about it because I noticed a ball of bloodied tissues in the bathroom that day. I thought she had gotten hurt, so I dug through the tissues. That was when I saw it—a crumpled-up abortion report. I rushed over to Marissa to confront her, my body shaking uncontrollably."You took it upon yourself to abort our baby?"At that time, her eyes reddened instantly, tears spilling down her face, making her look absolutely pitiful. "We can't even make ends meet, darling. How are we going to raise a child?""But that's not reason enough for you not to discuss it with me!" I roared.

Mom had run out of skincare, so I went with her to get new ones. The moment I stepped into the store, I spotted Marissa restocking the shelves.Not in the mood to get into a public argument, I tugged on Mom's sleeve, signaling that we should leave. However, Marissa called out to me anyway. She scrutinized my appearance, then burst out laughing. Her gaze lingered on my arm, which was linked with Mom, and she teased, "Hey, Ainsley. It's only been a month since I last saw you, and you've already gotten yourself a sugar mommy?" She rolled her eyes in disdain. Then, she grabbed a cheap bottle from a shelf and threw it carelessly onto the counter. "Your sugar mommy looks a little rough, don't you think? This is a luxury store. A lotion like this one should be more your speed."I knew a bit about lotions. The bottle she gave us was from an old product line from a few years ago. Not only that, the lotion had already expired. Mom swept the lotion into the trash can unapologetically.

To make matters worse, Crystal had stepped forward at this moment to watch the scene unfold.Unwilling to leave a bad impression on Crystal, Dominic shoved Marissa's hands away. But he used too much force and sent her crashing to the floor.Marissa then decided to go all out, wailing as she slumped on the floor, her eyes bloodshot. "Dominic, you betrayed the true and pure love we had between us."Right at this moment, I pressed the button in my hand. Suddenly, a montage of Marissa and Dominic entering and leaving hotels together began playing on the main screen. She bought all kinds of luxury items for him, and they frequented all kinds of high-end restaurants. Toward the end of the montage was a photo of Dominic, half-naked.Dominic panicked and shouted, "Switch it off now!" Nevertheless, the montage quickly continued playing, revealing photos of him sucking up to various wealthy women, along with a series of explicit photos. In the end, a voice recording played. He said in
