I married the son of a billionaire through an arranged marriage, but he suffered from erectile dysfunction. The only woman who could arouse him was his secretary. To give his terminally ill father a grandson, my husband would sneak out every night to “resolve his physical needs” with his secretary. When I discovered this, he fell to his knees crying, slapping himself until he bled as he begged for my forgiveness. “Honey, I do love you. I just can’t bear to see my father pass away with regrets!” he pleaded. What he didn’t know was that every time he snuck out, I would buy myself a luxury apartment downtown as compensation. And each time his secretary got pregnant, I would treat myself to a private island. In just two years, I had acquired 99 luxury properties and 4 islands. Until one day, I received a photo. In it, my father-in-law – who was supposed to have died from cancer – was lovingly caressing the secretary’s pregnant belly, his eyes glowing with joy. I threw the photo in my husband’s face. He immediately dropped to his knees, repeatedly kowtowing as he begged: “Honey, this child is the fruit of our love. I beg you to spare her…” “I swear I’ll cut off all contact with her once the baby is born!” I clenched my fists tightly, resisting the urge to hit him. Instead, I turned away calmly. “Fine,” I said. Since you don’t cherish what I’ve given you, don’t blame me for taking it all back. 0
In the photo, Kevin was leaning tenderly against Chloe’s swollen belly, smiling with deep satisfaction. I opened my contacts and called him. The phone rang for a long time before he picked up. “Hello? Honey?” His voice sounded guilty. “How was the business dinner? Did you make some good connections? I’m here with some important investors. Just finished a round of talks, I’m exhausted…” I replied with a laugh: “It went well. But I miss you so much right now. Can we video chat?” There was no response from the other end. The two of them were clearly panicking. “Baby, it’s not convenient right now. Besides, who video calls their wife in the middle of a business meeting? It wouldn’t leave a good impression on the clients.” “I know you miss me. Don’t worry, I’ll wrap up work as quickly as I can and spend more time with you tonight, okay?” I didn’t bother exposing his lies. Instead, I asked directly: “Kevin, do you love me?” Kevin hesitated for a few seconds before answering: “Of course I love you, honey! Don’t overthink things. You’re the only woman I’ll ever love!” His voice was very quiet, clearly trying to prevent Chloe from overhearing. Some “wife” I am. How pathetic. I hung up the phone and headed straight to their love nest, knocking on the door. “Sweetie, is that the food delivery? I…” Kevin opened the door, his bare upper body still glistening with sweat. He never expected to see me standing there. He immediately tried to block the doorway with his body, attempting to obstruct my view. “H-honey? What are you doing here… Aren’t you supposed to be…” He was utterly shocked. “At the business dinner, right? Kevin, that’s hardly important now, is it? Just like how you’re not actually in a meeting.” I looked past him at Chloe. She instinctively covered her belly with both hands, stammering: “Sophia… What brings you here…” I knew she was waiting for me to confront her so she could play the victim. But I didn’t. With a blank expression, I unlocked my phone screen and shoved that glaring photo right in Kevin’s face. I asked calmly: “Honey, didn’t you promise you’d never see her again?” “Were you lying to me?” 0
Kevin’s legs gave out and he fell to his knees in front of me. He started slapping himself hard. “Honey! Honey, I was wrong!!” “It’s not what you think! I… I admit I didn’t handle things well. Let me explain!” He tried to grab my pants leg, but I didn’t give him the chance. “Get lost,” I said coolly. “Sophia, you can’t blame this all on Kevin… You’ve been married for years without getting pregnant. Are you saying he’s not allowed to find someone else?” Chloe sneered. At this moment, she was wielding her pregnancy like a weapon. This girl I had once helped out of poverty was now seducing my husband. “Chloe, do you know why Kevin and I haven’t had children in ten years of marriage?” I stared her down. She lowered her head under my gaze, but her tone remained defiant: “You’re going to bring up his erectile dysfunction again, aren’t you? I’ve tried plenty of times and he’s perfectly normal. I don’t think it’s ED at all – he’s just not interested in you!” “A woman who can’t even arouse desire… Your life really is a failure… Ah!!!” I slapped her across the face. “Sophia! If you’re upset, take it out on me!! She’s just a young girl in a difficult situation…” “It’s all my fault… I didn’t handle my feelings properly. But I… I just can’t control myself when I see her… I’m not human! I’ve wronged you!” He was slapping himself repeatedly. Chloe grabbed his hand, crying. “Don’t stop her! She can beat me to death if she wants! I’ve been sick of how she treats you for a long time! You’re such a good man, why should you have to endure this?” “And… and I was willing. If anyone’s to blame, it’s me! Blame me for falling in love with you… for having feelings for you!” The two of them went back and forth, like a deeply affectionate couple. I was tired of watching their performance. “Are you done?” I asked. “If you’re done, I’ll continue.” 0
The scene before me was nauseating. “Kevin, you’d better make a choice between me and her today.” Kevin hurried to placate me. “Honey, you know I love you, but I’m a man too. I have my own needs…” “Besides, you know it’s because you couldn’t give birth that my dad, on his deathbed…” “Your dad! You have the nerve to bring up your dad!” I threw my phone hard, hitting him square on the nose. But he didn’t react at all, his eyes fixed on the photo on the screen. It showed his father, beaming as he touched Chloe’s pregnant belly. “How… how did you get this photo…” Clearly, the discovery that his father had faked his death came as a huge shock. He didn’t even know how to start lying. At this point, what was there for me not to understand? The three of them were putting on a show for me. “Kevin, I’ve warned you many times. Why didn’t you take it to heart?” Kevin dropped the act. “Yes! I lied to you! But don’t you have issues too?” “If you could have children, if you could arouse me, would I have cheated?” With the truth exposed, Kevin chose the stupidest path. That is, to turn against me completely. I was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh. I must have been too good to him all these years, making him forget who made his current lifestyle possible. He couldn’t really think he could afford mansions and sports cars on his $3000 monthly salary, could he? “Kevin, I’ve been so tolerant of you only to end up like this. Don’t blame me for being ruthless now.” “I’ll have my lawyer send you the divorce papers. As for everything I’ve given you, I expect it all returned intact in three days.” With that, I strode away in my high heels. Three days later, not only did I not see a single thing returned, I received a scolding from the miraculously resurrected billionaire: “Sophia! What gives you the right to divorce What gives you the right to divorce my son? What can you do besides make money? You can’t even satisfy a man properly. Who else would want you besides my son!” “Alright, alright, I’ve decided to let him keep Chloe on the side. They can meet once a month, how’s that? But you’ll have to cover her living expenses!” His shamelessness was truly like father, like son. I smiled and said: “I spent over $100,000 on your funeral. When do you plan to pay me back?” What money? Chloe had already pocketed it all. When the old lady heard this, she wasn’t having it. She immediately jumped up: “Have you no shame? I’m a billionaire! I didn’t complain that you couldn’t have children, and now you dare ask me for money? What sins did I commit in my past life to end up with such a wretched daughter-in-law!” She looked ready to throw herself on the ground and start a tantrum. I helpfully offered her a cushion: “Please continue, Uncle. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay to humor your antics.” His father couldn’t stand this indignity. He chased after me, wailing dramatically: “Help! My daughter-in-law is abandoning me!” “At my age, I’m begging her and she won’t even look at me! What a miserable life!” Noticing camera flashes around us, I pretended not to see. If they want to take photos, let them. Just make sure to use a beauty filter on me. 0
A few days later, Chloe actually came to my office threatening suicide. I looked at her helplessly. “Can’t you make a scene somewhere else? People are trying to work here.” But Chloe’s brain clearly couldn’t comprehend the importance of work. She continued shouting: “Kevin and I are truly in love. Why can’t you just let us be together? Do I have to die for you to be satisfied?!” I was confused. Wasn’t I already agreeing to divorce? How was that not letting them be together? What exactly did she want? “Why did you cancel Kevin’s credit cards? Don’t you know we can’t survive without money? How can you be so selfish!” When Kevin rushed over, I rolled my eyes and said, “Oh, you’re here. Your little mistress has been threatening suicide for an hour but hasn’t even scratched herself. Better comfort her quick, or you’ll inconvenience the cleaning staff getting off work.” Kevin’s face turned ashen. But it wasn’t because he found Chloe embarrassing. He was upset at my indifference: “Sophia, when did you become so cold-blooded…” “You’ve really disappointed me…” Mr. Chen was even more dramatic, his eyes rolling back as if about to faint: “Sophia! You little beast! Are you only happy when you’ve driven our whole family to death?!” She yelled loudly, and I replied even louder. “Yep, thrilled.” The onlookers, not knowing the full story, actually started criticizing me: “I can’t believe it. Ms. Johnson seemed so capable at work, but behind closed doors she’s so cold to her own family!” “Yeah, she’s driven that poor girl to the brink of suicide and she’s still making sarcastic comments. You really can’t judge a book by its cover!” “Hmph! Who knows how she got that CEO position. Probably by sleeping with other men.” As the crowd’s speculation grew more and more outrageous, Kevin cleared his throat and put on a magnanimous act: “Sophia, you see how clear-sighted everyone is? They all know you’re in the wrong. Stop making a fuss and come home with me. Who else would want you besides me?” He reached out to grab my hand. I laughed. As if he was worthy of touching me. I stepped back, and under his dissatisfied gaze, I slowly spoke: “Do they know that in all our years of marriage, we’ve had no children because you have erectile dysfunction?” The crowd fell silent, all ears perked up waiting for the juicy gossip. “Sophia! What nonsense are you spouting?!” “If you keep talking rubbish, I really won’t take you back!” The man’s pride was thoroughly trampled in public. I shrugged, cleared my throat, and repeated in a voice the whole office could hear: “You have ED! You have ED! You have ED! You have ED!” “I’ve been married to you for years and never experienced a woman’s pleasure, all because…” “You have erectile dysfunction!!!!”
