Husband's Affair After Divorce

On the day we were supposed to finalize our divorce, I was hit with sudden, excruciating stomach pain. “What’s the matter? Can’t keep up the act anymore?” “If you don’t actually want a divorce, just admit it. Stop pretending you’re sick.” Miles sneered at me, arrogance radiating from his posture. I gritted my teeth and tried to bear it, but the pain was overwhelming, and I passed out before we could finish the paperwork. When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed. Miles handed me a stack of receipts, his expression dripping with condescension. “Lucky you had the surgery before the divorce, otherwise you’d have had to foot the entire bill yourself. It’s $700; you can transfer me $350.” He tossed the medical bills onto my lap, and the room spun around me. I never thought I’d suffer an acute appendicitis attack on the day of our divorce, let alone that Miles would stoop this low.

Chapter 5

The day I was discharged from the hospital, Clover called me. She mentioned that something urgent had come up at work, so she wouldn’t be able to help me move. I didn’t dwell on it and told her to concentrate on what she needed to handle. After all, my belongings were already settled in the apartment I’d bought during college, right in the heart of the city.

That evening, after finishing all my tasks, I relaxed on the sofa and called Clover. I intended to invite her over to my new place to thank her for the care and concern she had shown me these past few days and to give her a gift — possibly to share the truth about my family’s real situation.

The phone rang several times before she answered, and her voice sounded a bit breathless.

“Clover, is everything alright?” I asked, feeling slightly concerned.

She paused before telling me she was working overtime at the office and was quite busy. Not wanting to bother her, I ended the call quickly.

Right then, a notification from the home security camera popped up on my phone. Juliet, Miles’ mother, had been adamant about installing the cameras, concerned about my safety living alone. That decision had sparked a big argument between Miles and me, which I eventually gave in to. However, Juliet began using the cameras to scrutinize my every move, so in frustration, I revoked her access and linked the cameras directly to my phone.

Having decided to cut ties with Miles, I accessed the app to disconnect the cameras. But the scene unfolding on the screen left me in shock.

In that moment, an overwhelming wave hit me.

Through the camera, I could clearly see Miles walking brazenly into our home with another woman in his arms. From the moment they entered, they never stopped kissing. They moved quickly, leaving a trail of chaos as they headed to the sofa, completely absorbed in each other and utterly disrespectful.

I could hardly believe my eyes.

The woman was Clover, my supposed best friend, with whom I had just spoken on the phone.

Kaylee's family was drowning in debt, and her stepmother locked her inside a freezing bedroom. To save their bankrupt company, they decided to sell her off to a sixty-five-year-old man with a disgusting reputation.

"Put on the engagement dress, or I will smash your mother's crystal box into a million pieces." Terrified of the old man, Kaylee risked her life by jumping out of the second-story window into a violent storm.

Dragging her bleeding bare feet across the cold sand, her lungs felt like they were filled with broken glass.

When I picked up the ring at the jewelry store, a notification from Twitter buzzed on my phone. It was a post with a photo captioned: "True love knows no bounds." The image showed a man’s silhouette, smiling warmly at a woman. The figure was unmistakably familiar—someone I saw every day and was supposed to marry in just a week. "Miss Angelina, your ring," the store clerk said, handing me the custom piece I had ordered a year ago. With a blank expression, I took the ring and went back to the car. I glanced at my young assistant in the driver’s seat, took his hand, and slipped the ring onto his finger. "It's yours now," I said. Richard was taken aback, looking at me in shock. "Angelina?" "Take me home," I instructed, leaning back in the passenger seat and closing my eyes. "Are we not going to check out the wedding venue?" Richard asked hesitantly.

I stared at the thermometer in disbelief, my heart racing as the digital numbers climbed past 103... 104 degrees. Westin's small body trembled against mine, his forehead burning against my palm. "Mommy, it hurts," he whimpered, his usually bright eyes now glassy and unfocused. His cheeks flushed an alarming shade of red against his otherwise pale skin. "I know, baby. I know." I tried to keep my voice steady as panic surged through me. I fumbled for my phone, punching Aaron's number with shaking fingers. It rang once before going to voicemail. "Aaron, Westin has a dangerously high fever.

The boardroom victory still hummed through my veins as I stepped into our penthouse, the city lights twinkling below like scattered diamonds. Another successful merger, another step forward for Taylor Industries. Barrett looked up from the leather sofa, his laptop balanced on his knees, and I felt that familiar warmth spread through my chest. After ten years of marriage, he still made me feel like we were building something beautiful together. "How did it go?" he asked, closing the laptop with a soft click. "Better than expected. The Henderson deal is officially ours." I kicked off my heels and padded across the marble floor toward him. "I was thinking we could celebrate with some wine and our playlist. You know, the one from our honeymoon?" Barrett's smile seemed genuine enough as he reached for the smart home remote. "Perfect.

The soft chime of the boutique door echoed behind me as I stepped into the sanctuary of luxury that was Maison Laurent. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over displays of exquisite fabrics, each piece more breathtaking than the last. The familiar scent of expensive leather and subtle perfume wrapped around me like a comfortable embrace. I glanced at my phone—Reid was running twenty minutes late from his business meeting, but I didn't mind. Shopping at Maison Laurent was never a chore, especially when I had time to truly appreciate the artistry before me. "Miss Ford, how wonderful to see you again," Miranda Chen approached with her characteristic warm smile, her sleek black hair pulled into a perfect chignon. As the boutique's senior sales associate, Miranda had helped me select pieces for countless events over the years. "Are you looking for anything special today?" "Just browsing while I wait for Reid," I replied, running my fingers along a silk blouse that probably cost more than most people's monthly salary. "We have dinner reservations at eight." That's when I saw it. Hanging alone in the center display, bathed in its own spotlight, was the most stunning dress I'd ever laid eyes on.

I couldn't sleep. Again. The third night this week Alexander hadn't come home before midnight. His excuses were always the same—late meetings, client dinners, unexpected conference calls with Tokyo. I'd smile, nod, and pretend I believed him. Tonight, I decided to check the security footage. Not because I suspected anything—or perhaps because I'd been suspecting everything but couldn't bear to confirm it. My fingers trembled slightly as I navigated through the penthouse security system on my laptop. The living room, kitchen, hallway... all empty.
