Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Ha, in his mind, does he never think his actions are the problem?
Does he just think Iâm the one whoâs sick?
At dawn, I went to my therapy appointment as scheduled.
The sound of high heels clicked, and Dr. Olivia Smith sat across from me:
âEmily, our therapy sessions are almost over. I hope youâll stop seeing me as your doctor and start seeing me as a friend, a confidante.â
âDonât bottle up your feelings. You can tell me anything.â
She held my hand, her warm expression showing no sign of betrayal.
I pulled my hand away, expressionless: âFor three months, I really thought of you as a close friend, someone I could confide in. But you must have been laughing inside, right?â
Oliviaâs smile froze, quickly replaced by a cold, resentful expression.
Since the cards were on the table, there was no point in pretending.
âYes, Iâve had enough of your sob stories.â
âYouâre pitiful, but Ethan loves you so much. What more do you want?â
I sneered: âReally?â
Olivia relaxed: âFine, I canât keep up the act. To be honest, Iâm pregnant with Ethanâs child.â
âIf you hadnât clung to the Ford family, Ethan would have been mine.â
âIf I were you, a woman whoâs been... used, I wouldnât be so greedy for Ethanâs love. Itâs just a pipe dream!â
The hazy me had never suspected that my therapist was my husbandâs mistress.

Chapter Z The person who once comforted me with soft words now stabbed me with the words 1 hated most.
Seeing me speechless, Olivia added.
âYou know, I often watch the videos those thugs took. So many techniques, truly eye openingâ
Her words made me want to drag her to hell.
Overcome with rage, I slapped her.
Unexpectedly, she covered her face and started crying, looking behind me:
âMr. Ford, I was just trying to comfort Emily, telling her to let go of her obsession with purity.â
âAfter what happened to her, she needs to move on. But she just snapped.â
âShe slapped me so hard. Her aggression is getting worse.â
âMaybe itâs time to send her to the psychiatric ward...â
The wounds in my heart felt like they were being salted and trampled on.
The calm I had found was shattered, and tears welled up in my eyes.
Ethan stepped forward, holding Olivia, checking her âinjuries,â and scolded me without looking back: âEmily, Olivia is pregnant. Donât hit her!â
I didnât want to watch this performance by the cheating couple, so I turned and ran out of the therapy room.
I kept myself busy, afraid that if I stopped, my mind would spiral out of control.
I anonymously sent some of Ford Enterprisesâ dirty secrets to various media outlets.
As I worked, my phone started buzzing with messages.
I picked it up and saw Olivia had sent me a message.
âWant to see when Ethan and I started our affair?â
I looked closely at the photosâEthan taking her on romantic vacations around the world.

Chapter 2 The earliest photos dated back two years.
After sending the photos, Olivia said: âIâm showing you this to let you know that Eres and I have been together for a long time.â
âIf you hadnât played the victim, making Ethan feel guilty, he would never have marries you âBe smart and get out of the way.â
âStop circling my man.â
I sneered and replied.
âOnly a cockroach worries about losing its filth.â
She sent a barrage of voice messages, but I turned off my phone.
The night before the wedding, Ethan held a bachelor party.
The bar was lively.
I used to love such gatherings, but now I had no interest.
After a short stay, I got up to leave.
Realizing I forgot my bag, I turned back and saw Ethan was also gone.
As I passed a hallway, I heard a womanâs laughter from an unused private room.
Ethan was holding Olivia, sitting her on the bar counter.
Olivia saw me outside the door but didnât stop. Instead, she whispered in Ethanâs ear:
âEthan, what if Emily finds out about us?â
Ethan panted: âWhy bring her up? If you donât provoke her, no one will know.â
Olivia continued: âYouâre getting married tomorrow, yet youâre still with me.â
âIs Emily that boring in bed?â

Chapter 2 Ethan paused: â...I still feel guilty for the trauma I caused her. I owe her. Now, fough Olivia blatantly stared at me, deliberately moaning loudly to provoke me.
But I felt no strong emotions. It was like watching a ridiculous pornographic performance I remembered a man sitting in the corner of the bar.
My father had once mentioned him.
He was Ethanâs business rival.
I bit my lip and turned back.
Ethan came home late that night.
He knocked on my door: âEmily, tomorrowâs the big day. Are you excited?â
I didnât open the door, coldly saying.
âIâm looking forward to it. Is there anything you want to confess before our wedding?â
There was a long silence before Ethan finally said.
âEmily, I love you.â
âAfter weâre married, there will be plenty of time for you to understand my love for you.â
His words made me nauseous.
âItâs bad luck to see each other before the wedding. Go back to Ford Manor.â
Ford Manor was Ethanâs luxurious vacation villa.
The next day, the grand wedding would take place there.
After the wedding car took me from the Ford mansion to Ford Manor, I excused myself to go to the dressing room.
As the wedding began, New York media and business elites gathered.

But when they saw the lavish decorations, the extravagant banquet, and the dowry, they fell silent.
Finally, the lights focused, The bride, veiled and holding a spherical bouquet, walked gracefully toward Ethan.
The romantic music made the wedding scene solemn.
Ethanâs heart raced inexplicably, The bride stood still, vows were exchanged, and rings were given.
Ethan gently lifted the brideâs veil, but his face instantly changed!
