My Husband’s Two-Year Affair with the Office Receptionist

After twelve years of marriage, my millionaire husband fell for the new receptionist at his company. Approaching forty, she wasn’t as attractive as me, nor did she have my figure, yet in just half a year, she had given him immense emotional support. Calvin looked at me, exhaustion written all over his face, and said, "If we divorce, you can have the house and the car. Amaia, just let me go." I lowered my gaze and replied calmly, "Okay." Then, I bought a calendar and circled a date. The countdown to divorce: 30 days. When I handed Calvin the divorce agreement, only 40 minutes had passed since he told me about the affair. As per our arrangement, the house, the car, and custody of Noah would be mine. He would give me a one-time payment of $3 million for compensation and child support. After that, Noah and I would no longer be involved in his life. Calvin was in the middle of a conference call.

Chapter 5

I returned just in time for my dad's birthday. This year, they planned to hold the celebration at a nearby hotel, gathering family and friends for a cozy get-together. The hotel was conveniently located not far from our home, with five tables reserved for our close-knit circle of loved ones.

Many people were curious about Calvin. Thankfully, my son Noah had soccer practice today, so he wouldn’t be attending the party. My parents skillfully sidestepped any direct questions about Calvin until, just before the meal began, my dad stepped up to say a few words. It was then that Calvin arrived.

He was immaculately dressed in a suit, carrying several gift bags and a large card emblazoned with "Happy Birthday." Relatives and friends greeted him warmly. He waited for my dad to finish speaking, then approached him with the card in hand.

“Happy Birthday, Ray,” Calvin said, extending the card.

My dad gave it a quick glance and replied, “Thank you, Calvin, but you shouldn't have gone to the trouble. After all, you and Amaia are now divorcing, and I wouldn't want you to feel obligated.”

Calvin's expression faltered, a ripple of surprise passing through the crowd before they fell into silence. He replied quietly, “We’re still finalizing things…”

My dad shook his head, "Makes no difference."

With that, he turned to invite everyone to eat and drink. Calvin stood there momentarily, gripping the gift bags tightly. My mom gracefully returned the rest of his gifts. Without lingering, Calvin left.

After he was gone, the guests silently agreed to avoid mentioning him again; no more questions about Calvin. It was a relief.

My emotions were gradually steadying, and I was coming to terms with the changes. I had shed the title of Mrs. Kelly and was back to being Amaia Kelly. Even the property staff and concierge at the office somehow got wind of the news—they stopped calling me Mrs. Kelly and returned to addressing me as Miss Kelly.

I quickly dove into my plans to open a coffee shop. Conveniently, a space was available for lease and I was pleased with the location and layout, so I signed the lease on the spot. The current staff would remain, allowing the business to keep running, but I wanted to spend some time refining the menu and flavors. I also planned to update the signage and furniture, starting with a soft opening.

After a day spent finalizing plans at the shop, I was preparing to head home. I glanced at the calendar on my dashboard. Fifteen days until the divorce was final.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen.
