Cindy planned to surprise her husband with the news she was pregnant. However, it seemed that she was the one who got "surprised" when she found out he was cheating on her with her best friend. Overwhelmed by this betrayal, she demanded a divorce and swore to herself that she would take revenge by making them pay for what they did. At the same time, thanks to a misunderstanding, she met Bruce, and all of a sudden, she saw herself trapped with the domineering CEO. Now, not only would he help her carry out her revenge, but he would also give her all of his deep affection.

Wrong Place, Wrong Time, But True Love Chapter 1 You're Pregnant

"Congratulations, ma'am," said the doctor. "You've been pregnant for a little more than a month."

"Pregnant?"

Cindy Cheng couldn't believe what she just heard. She quickly stammered, "I'm pregnant? Doctor, are you sure?"

"Yes, ma'am. You are indeed pregnant," the doctor reassured her again.

Cindy Cheng was ecstatic at the great news. She and Jeff He had been married for the last three years, but she couldn't get pregnant. It was only recently that she started feeling sick. At first, she assumed that something was wrong with her stomach, so she came to hospital for an examination. She didn't expect to receive this surprise.

'I almost forgot. I have to tell Jeff.' With excitement, Cindy Cheng quickly grabbed her phone and dialed his number. She called him several times, but he didn't answer.

Cindy Cheng frowned in confusion and glanced at her watch. She guessed that he was working overtime again. These days, he was always staying out so late at work because he was so busy.

Shrugging, Cindy Cheng carefully folded her diagnosis report and placed it inside her bag. She returned back home, elated with joy.

As soon as she entered the entrance of her house, a pair of slippers hit her.

"You little bitch! You still remember to come back!"

Stunned at what just happened, Cindy Cheng quickly covered her head in defense. She peeked at her fuming mother-in-law and found her grimacing in the living room. She wondered what that woman wanted this time.

Her mother-in-law, Jessica Xu, was never satisfied with her. Soon after Cindy Cheng married Jeff He, Jessica Xu decided to move in with them. She used the excuse that she would be too lonely at home. However, she always picked on Cindy Cheng's mistakes and berated her every single day for it.

Since she was Jeff He's mother, Cindy Cheng tolerated this treatment. She never quarreled with Jessica Xu for Jeff He's sake. She didn't want her relationship with her husband to be affected because of his mother's difficulty.

Suppressing her anger, Cindy Cheng calmly asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"You were gone for so long and it's already late, but you just arrived. Why don't you just stay outside all day and ignore all the housework back at home? You want me to take all your chores, right? Also, why did you buy these slutty clothes? Are you trying to seduce other men?"

While she was speaking, Jessica Xu threw something red at Cindy Cheng.

Cindy Cheng frowned and noticed that the parcel box had already been opened. She silently pursed her lips and was a little annoyed that Jessica Xu opened her package without permission.

She slowly squatted down and picked up the clothes in confusion. She didn't buy anything recently. What was this?

Cindy Cheng unfolded the garments in her hands and blushed a deep shade of red.

Jessica Xu stared Cindy's red face and became even angrier. She scolded her daughter-in-law furiously, "I can't believe that you're blushing. How can you buy these clothes? You should be ashamed!"

Cindy blankly stared at Jessica and was at a loss for words. Just as she was about to explain that she didn't buy these clothes, she remembered that Jeff had been working overtime recently, that he began to ignore her. Did he buy her these clothes so that they could rekindle their intimacy again?

She was sure that he must have done that. She recalled Jeff secretly doing something on his phone a few days ago and everything seemed to add up. At this thought, Cindy felt a happy and shy smile creeping up on her face.

"How dare you smile? You are a shameless bitch!"

"Mom, I just remembered that I have work to do back at the company. I'll be leaving now!" She didn't want to argue with Jessica anymore. Without saying anything else, Cindy placed the clothes in her bag and ran out of the door, leaving Jessica alone in the room as she spewed incoherent curses.

Cindy left the house and decided to see Jeff at his company. For the last few weeks, he barely stayed at home, leaving the house early and coming back very late. They hadn't had a good conversation in a long while. It was also probably a good time for her to inform him that she was pregnant.

Before going to his office, she drove to Jeff's favorite restaurant and bought him his favorite trotter and lotus seeds soup.

She arrived at his company and started to walk towards the elevator. However, the receptionist suddenly stopped her in a panic.

"Ma'am, Mr. Jeff is in a meeting. You can't go up, right now!"

"That's alright. I'll wait for him in his office!"

Cindy gave the receptionist a friendly smile as she was about to walk towards the elevator.

But to her surprise, the receptionist stopped her once again. She avoided eye contact with Cindy and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, why don't you head over to the sofa and wait for a brief moment. Mr. Jeff is still in a meeting."

Cindy frowned and scoffed, "No, thanks. I'll wait for him inside his office. Don't worry. I won't disturb him."

However, the receptionist insisted, "Ma'am, you really can't go up..."

By this time, the staff working upstairs were already finished with work. Cindy looked around and found a group of people coming out of the elevator to go home.

In the past, Cindy would usually come over to visit Jeff, so employees knew her. Whenever they saw her, they would always give her a warm greeting. However, something seemed different this time. They glanced at her from a distance and wore strange expressions as they mysteriously whispered to each other.

Cindy couldn't help but wonder, what was wrong with them today?

In front of her, the receptionist was still trying to stop her from going upstairs. "Ma'am, why don't you wait out here? His meeting will finish in a while."

"Get out of my way!"

Cindy glared at the woman in annoyance. She already made it clear that she wouldn't disturb her husband's meeting. She just wanted to go upstairs and wait for him there. Why did the receptionist keep stopping her?

"Ma'am..."

Cindy pushed the receptionist out of her way and entered the elevator. Before the doors closed, she vaguely heard someone saying, "Alas, that poor girl. There's definitely going to be a good show."

During the elevator ride, Cindy frowned and was filled with doubts. She didn't know what was wrong with these people. What did they mean by saying "poor girl" and "a good show"?

She pursed her lips and shook her head. Cindy decided to ignore their comments and strutted towards Jeff's office as she held his favorite soup.

Cindy pushed his office door open. Just as she was about to say, "Honey, I'm here to see you." She froze at the scene in front of her.

In disbelief, she looked at the people inside the room.

She suddenly let go of the soup in her hand. It fell and made a splashing sound before making a mess on the floor.

Upon hearing the noise, the two figures inside the office stopped what they were doing.

Jeff and a woman surprisingly gazed at her with wide eyes.

Cindy squinted and recognized the woman with her husband. It was her best friend, Lina Li.

Cindy got so upset and she felt like she was going to faint. She introduced Lina Li to Jeff a month ago because she lost her job. She wanted her husband to help her best friend find employment again, but she didn't expect that Lina Li would betray her like this.

It finally made sense to her why Jeff was recently working very late. It turned out that he just used his work as an excuse to mess around with Lina Li.

Cindy's heart sank as she thought about the strange gazes she received earlier and how the receptionist tried to stop her. It turned out that everybody knew that her husband was cheating on her, but they decided to keep it from her. She was worried about Jeff's lack of rest due to working overtime and even bought him soup. Now, she felt like a fool after finding out the truth.

"Why are you doing this to me? Why? Jeff, you're my husband. Lina, you're my best friend. Why did you both betray me?"

Cindy roared in agony and anger as she questioned the two embarrassed figures in the room.

"Cindy, it's not what it looks like..."

"So what is this? I saw what you were doing with my own eyes. I can't believe that you still want to defend yourself!"

Cindy instinctively brushed her hand against her belly. She planned to surprise him with her pregnancy. However, it seemed that she was the one who got the "surprise".

"I'm sorry, Cindy. I didn't mean to betray you like that. I love Jeff so much that I couldn't control myself around him. I'm sorry," Lina Li wept and apologized to her best friend.

Cindy sneered with venom, "Love? Lina, he is my husband. You're my friend. How could you do such a thing?"

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I know I'm wrong, but love isn't under my control," Lina protested defensively.

Cindy was furious upon hearing Lina's shameless explanation. She rushed over, pulled Lina up, and violently slapped her on the face.

Lina fell on the ground from the impact. She immediately covered her face and cried helplessly. Jeff quickly came over and helped her stand up. He gave Cindy a look of dissatisfaction and said, "Cindy, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't hit people!"

Cindy stared at the both of them and felt the tears brimming in her eyes. She pointed at her husband and demanded, "What did I do to deserve this? We've been together for six years. We didn't have anything back in college. Your family was poor and you couldn't even afford your living expenses. I worked part-time jobs to support you when you couldn't find a job after graduation and stayed at home. I was the one who earned money to support you. When you said you wanted to start a business, I gave up all my savings to help you. But, now you repay me like this?"

The tears streamed down Cindy's soft face. She didn't purposely want to threaten him with a debt of gratitude by mentioning their past. She just didn't understand why Jeff betrayed her like this after they had gone through so many difficulties together.

"Shut up! Cindy! What's the point of mentioning the past? Don't forget that I'm making money every day to support you. I'm the one supporting you now! If not for me, then you have nothing. So forget about the past."

It seemed that Cindy struck a nerve. She saw Jeff's face suddenly darken as his eyes reflected a cold expression.

"Well, Jeff, you're rich now. I guess you don't need me anymore, right? You're going to kick me out, aren't you?"

Jeff's protest ignited the anger in Cindy's heart. For last six years, she had sacrificed so much for him. She even gave up the opportunity to study abroad and was willing to be a housewife, just so they could get married. She didn't expect that her sacrifices and hard work would lead to such a shameful result.

"Don't push your luck! Don't forget that you won't be able to live a luxurious life without me. Besides, many men have lovers. I won't treat you unfairly if you continue to be my wife. Just don't make a big fuss over this."

It never occurred to Cindy that she would hear such shameless words coming from Jeff's mouth. She stared at him and found that he was just as handsome as he was six years ago. However, when she looked in his eyes, she found that they were no longer innocent like they were back in college. The man standing in front of her was now a selfish hypocrite.

"Jeff, you're so shameless! I demand for a divorce!"

For five years, my world revolved around Sarah "Oracle" Vance, my boss and the woman I loved, pouring every ounce of my devotion into her life. Then came the mission that broke everything: Sarah was "captured" by a rival tech conglomerate, and the ransom was my life's work, an AI called "Ghost." Without hesitation, I sacrificed Ghost, my greatest creation, enduring a torturous procedure that nearly killed me, all to save her. But when I staggered back to the agency, hollowed out and aching, I found Sarah wrapped in the arms of another man, Dr. Ben Carter, laughing at me, calling me a "love-sick puppy" and "desperate for validation" – exposing that her capture was a lie, a setup orchestrated by her to steal my AI. My world shattered, every memory of my devotion twisting into a sick joke. Just as I resolved to walk away, fully broken, Sarah's young daughter, Lily, was kidnapped by unknown assailants, held hostage in the very data center I designed, rigged to explode. Despite Sarah's betrayal, a primal instinct took over, and I plunged into the inferno, racing against a digital timer, shielding Lily with my own body as bullets tore through me, making the ultimate sacrifice as the building collapsed around me. They declared me dead, a heroic casualty, but I was saved and rebuilt by Olivia Thorne, the CEO of the very company Sarah blamed. Now, a ghost reborn, the world believes I' m gone, leaving me free to uncover the true architects of this agonizing betrayal and exact a reckoning for the life they stole.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."
