When he abandons her for his secretary one last time, he doesn't realize he is spending his final voucher. His wife has stopped crying, waiting for the count to hit zero.

Years of doing housework had indeed made the skin on my hands rough. It was no wonder Frederick found them unappealing. Not wanting to hear any more, I fled somewhat awkwardly into the bathroom.

…

Ten minutes later, he knocked on the door. "Cecilia, something came up at the company. I need to head over there. Get some sleep."

I hummed in acknowledgment. Just as he was about to leave, I suddenly spoke up. "Frederick, if you don't come back tonight, can I use a reconciliation voucher?"

I looked at him with tears still glistening in my eyes. He paused mid-step, then immediately turned. "Of course."

Frederick smiled at me, his expression relaxed. "Don't worry, I'll definitely be home before midnight. You won't need to use that voucher."

Looking at his face, which hadn't changed much from five years ago, I suppressed the bitterness in my heart and smiled slightly. "Alright, I'll wait for you."

…

It was three hours until midnight when I paid a premium for a delivery service to buy me a cake.

Frederick's assistant, Taylor Hanson, posted on social media complaining about working overtime alone in the empty office.

Frederick sent me a message. "Just got to the company. I'll be home soon."

When it was two hours until midnight, I found a picture of him proposing to me while organizing my photo album. I posted it online on impulse. "I can't believe we've been together for five years already."

Frederick quickly replied, "More than five years."

He also sent me a photo of the night scenery with the message: "The night is beautiful tonight. It reminds me of you."

I didn't reply because I recognized the skyline in the background. It wasn't near his office but in the city center, where the most romantic restaurants were located.

Emma couldn't resist posting something only I could see. "You may have married your perfect woman, but I'm the one you really want."

In the bottom left corner of her photo, Frederick's left hand was clearly visible. He wasn't wearing his wedding ring.

When it was an hour until midnight, I curled up on the couch, playing our wedding video on loop while eating the cake the delivery person had brought. Somehow, the cake tasted increasingly salty, though.

I thought I would probably never like this cake again.

It was 30 minutes until midnight when Frederick stopped replying to my messages. I stopped bothering him and began packing my belongings.

Finally, I took out the last reconciliation voucher from the jar just one minute before midnight, ready to tear it up. Suddenly, someone knocked on the front door.

I paused and hurried to open it.

"Hello, this is a gift from Mr. Frederick Morrison. Please sign for it."

The delivery person held a jewelry box, looking professional and courteous. At the same time, Frederick's message popped up.

"Sorry, I have to stay at the office tonight. Use the reconciliation voucher if you want. I'll bring you your favorite cake when I get home."

I was about to reply when I accidentally knocked over the bookshelf. The wedding photo that had been displayed there for five years crashed to the floor with a loud bang, scattering glass shards everywhere.

The delivery person jumped and quickly asked, "Miss, do you need help cleaning this up?"

I shook my head and typed on my phone. "Don't bother with the cake, Frederick. The reconciliation vouchers are all used up. Let's get divorced."

The next second, hundreds of messages flooded my phone.

I found out my husband of three years had cheated on me and his mistress is the one who told me-because he didn't have the balls to do it himself. I move out and get a new apartment, a job as a bartender, and try to move on with a broken heart. I wonder where it all went wrong, if I hadn't been enough for him, if I'd been stupid for marrying him in the first place. I'm at work one night when he walks inside-the most beautiful man I've ever seen. He sits at the bar and a forest fire burns between us. I was depressed the moment before he entered, but the second I look at his blue eyes, I forget the dumpster fire that my life has become. I invite him back to my place and it's the most passionate night of my life. I expect to never see him again. I just want him as an anti-depressant-but he wants me all to himself. I just got my heart ripped out of my chest so I want something easy and no-strings-attached, but he wants all the strings because he's hooked. I don't get much of a say in the matter, and that's not surprising when I learn why-because he's the Butcher. The crime lord of all crime lords, the boss that overshadows all of Paris, that makes everyone abide by his rules-or pay. And now I'm his.

The Abandoned Wife And Her Secret Heir

7.2

I was staring at a high-resolution photo of my husband burying his face in another woman’s neck when his text came through. "Pizza or Thai?" He wasn't just cheating. The photos showed him playing house with a woman named Serena and a little boy who had his exact nose. He had told me he wasn't ready for children, yet here he was, giving his world to a secret family. When I confronted them at his company gala, Serena didn't apologize. She smirked, ripped the wedding ring off my finger, and shoved me hard. I hit the floor with a sickening crunch. Pain exploded in my stomach. "Help me," I gasped, clutching my belly. "My baby." Michael looked at me. Then he looked at Serena and the boy. He made his choice. He turned his back on his bleeding, pregnant wife and escorted his mistress out the emergency exit to avoid a scandal. He left me there to die. He didn't know that the "son" he was protecting was a rental—a prop Serena hired to trap him. And he didn't know that the baby he left to die on the gallery floor was the only real child he would ever have. I didn't go home to cry. I sent him a receipt for a cremation service for "Baby Boy Hayes," withdrew half our savings, and vanished. He thinks he's free. He has no idea I'm still alive, and I’m taking his real son with me.
