Brianna

Brianna's POV

I drank my last shot and turned to my only friend Kate. She shot an eyebrow up after I grabbed my bag and looked at her, planning to leave. Annoyed, she glanced at her wristwatch.

"C'mon, Bree! It's still early."

I shook my head. "I need to go home. Cain is probably waiting for me."

She laughed sarcastically. "He doesn't even care about you. Why are you even staying in this shit marriage of yours?"

Her words stung me like a pin, even though I knew she didn't mean to do that. It's been three years since I married Cain Hamilton, but he never showed his love to me. Kate saw it all.

Pressing down the sourness inside, I stared at her. "You know that, Kate. I just love him."

She sighed and took my hands. "Is this really worth it, Bree?"

I could see the full worry in her eyes, I knew my marriage didn't have a good start. But in all these years, I had only ever loved Cain Hamilton.

Though he's always cold to me, I agreed to marry him without hesitation when he was in the darkest part of his life.

Is this marriage really worth it? I don't know but I still hoped.

I forced a smile and hugged Kate. "I'm going now. Have fun."

She sighed again as she hugged me back. "Go home safely."

Riding my car, I drove back home silently, trying not to think about Kate's words. At least, my husband would still come back home. Our marriage was not without hope.

However, when I entered the house, I found two people standing on the staircase smiling at each other.

My heart instantly raced as I saw my husband smiling sweetly at a familiar woman standing before him.

Amber O'Connor, his ex and his first love.

They were oblivious to my presence as they have their own world.

"Well, I have a surprise for you." She said and chuckled, making my husband chuckle too. His eyes were expressive, attentive, and happy, something I never see whenever he was looking at me.

Bitterness crept into my heart as I felt tears in the corner of my eyes. My hands started trembling.

No! No! I talked to Cain, my husband, a month ago. He said he's not seeing his first love anymore but.what is this? What is she doing here? Did he lie to me again?

"I'm pregnant!"

My jaws dropped. P-Pregnant? He get another woman pregnant?

I saw how Cain's eyes widened in fraction. I even saw how his shocked expression turned into happiness, which broke my heart into tiny pieces.

I remember what he said to me after we got married. He said he's not ready to have children. That he's still learning to be a good father. That he will tell me once he was ready, so I took pills, as requested by him. But now.seeing him so happy that he's having a child with another woman is just so fcking absurd and stupid. He's been lying to me!

"I'm so happy! Thank you! Thank you so much, babe!"

Tears rolled down my cheeks but I immediately wiped it and started walking towards them, climbing up the stairs. My shoes are creating heavy noises, drawing their attention.

I almost froze in shock and pain when Cain pulled Amber, hiding her behind him. He looked at me warily, as if I was a wicked witch who was trying to hurt his precious princess.

But I'm clearly his legal wife!

God! I can't believe this. My anger intensified. I couldn't control myself anymore.

I rushed to hit Cain with my handbag. "You fcking lied to me again, Cain! Y-You cheated on me! You said you two were over!"

He grabbed my hand as he gritted his teeth, staring at me coldly. "Stop the fcking drama, Brianna."

"Drama?" I frowned at him while tears rolled down my face. "You're calling this drama? Oh, fck you, Cain. You and your bitch!"

"Don't you dare talk to Amber like that, Brianna. You are just my wife on paper!"

Wife on paper.

"That's not how you told me last time, Cain. How could you do this to me?"

His forehead creased. "I can do whatever I fcking want, Brianna. You don't have a say in this or I'll divorce you. You got it?"

Divorce? Just after I had brought his company a new investment today, he dared to file for divorce. What did he think I was?

I broke free of his hand and slapped him hard. "You bastard."

"Brianna, please don't hurt Cain. It's my fault but we really love each other. "

I turned my sharp eyes at Amber. "Shut up, bitch!"
