All Chapters of Game Over: Goodbye, Cheater: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Emma's expression darkened. "All this over a ring?"She glanced down at the ring box in her hand. After letting out a scornful snort, she tossed it carelessly back onto the bed.I said nothing.Emma drew a deep breath, her tone laced with impatience. "All these years, I've given you a villa to live in and bought you the best cars. Name one thing you wanted that I didn't give you."She looked down at me from above, all the tenderness in her eyes completely drained away."And now you're giving me attitude over a ring?"I lifted my head to look at her, my eyes red-rimmed. "Emma, is it really so hard to love just one person?"She furrowed her brows irritably. "What did I do? Is cheating against the law? Which law says cheating is illegal? Vince, stop being so dramatic, alright?"The word "dramatic" hit me across the face like a slap. I couldn't stop my whole body from trembling.And yet, I was still hesitating and wondering if she might try to keep me from leaving.Emma had clear

Dad stood at the doorway, gasping for breath. His forehead was drenched in sweat."Vince, I was worried you and Bernadette might fight, so I came to check on you."Dad hobbled inside. When he caught sight of Emma standing beside the coffee table, he breathed a sigh of relief."Emma, you're here too. Perfect. You young people should talk things through properly. Don't keep quarreling over little things."Emma smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cline. We're not fighting."Just then, Dad spotted Scott standing behind Emma.I took hold of Dad's hand. "Dad, let me take you back to the nursing home."Dad pushed my hand away, his eyes suspicious. "Emma, who is this young man?"Scott smiled and walked up to Dad, looking him up and down. "Mr. Cline, your memory must be failing you in your old age. You and my father go way back—how can you not recognize me?"Dad's face turned deathly pale in an instant. "It's you! What are you doing here?"Scott pulled out a pregnancy test report and w

Bernadette bent down and grabbed Emma by the arm, yanking her up from the floor.Emma stumbled from the force, her back slamming against the wall."Emma, I entrusted Vince to you, and this is how you took care of him?" Bernadette slapped Emma hard across the face. "You drove him to jump off a building! Are you even human? Just how much suffering did you put him through that he no longer wanted to live?"Emma's head whipped to the side. The corner of her lip split open, and blood seeped through. But instead of fighting back, she just let Bernadette vent.Bernadette slapped her again and again, without the slightest mercy. She didn't stop until a shout rang out."What are you doing? Stop hitting her!""Get lost!" Bernadette snarled coldly.Scott's eyes reddened.A nurse poked her head out of the operating room. With a frown, she hissed in a lowered voice, "There's a patient being resuscitated in here. If you want to fight, take it outside!"Both women fell silent at once.Berna

Bernadette honored my dying wish. She didn't pick some scenic plot or hire anyone to find a special spot. Instead, she chose an ordinary grave site.Dad's headstone and mine were placed right next to each other.The day of the burial, there was a drizzle.Bernadette stood beside the grave pit in a black dress.Raindrops landed on her hair and her lashes. She blinked, and a single drop slipped down her cheek. Whether it was rain or a tear, no one could say.Emma was there too. Her eyes were red and swollen, threaded with bloodshot veins. Her face was bare, devoid of makeup. She hadn't slept in days.Every night, she sat in the bedroom where I used to stay, on the side of the bed where I used to sleep.The pillow still held the scent of my shampoo, though it was so faint that it was almost undetectable. She lived in dread that one day, even that would be gone for good.As the coffin was being lowered halfway down, Emma rushed forward and threw herself onto it, gripping its edge w
