Chapter one.
"Make me cum, baby... Argh, argh," The loud moans of his mistress had me freezing by the doorway as my eyes witnessed his betrayal.
My heart shattered instantly and for a moment, I struggled to regain my composure and senses as I couldn't believe my eyes?
"Was that really my husband, Seb, fucking some other woman in our marital bed???"
***
One unexpected night was all it took to have it all crumbling down. Just one night. One mistake. My mistake. I wasn't supposed to be home until 8 pm tonight, but I was feeling nauseous this fateful evening at my workplace, so I just had to abruptly pack up and call it a day.
I was so tired and all I wanted was to be in the arms of my lovely husband, Sebastian. He was the sweetest man in the world and he always took care of me very well. He treated me so specially to the point I found myself falling for him than I had expected when we signed our strictly business contract marriage certificate three years ago. I loved him with all my heart. He saved me at my lowest point, and for that, I am forever grateful to him.
Despite the fact that I'm an orphan with no special background and he's a billionaire and the second son of the prestigious Weston Family, he never looked down on me any day. He loved me just as I loved him. And he always protected me. He's my knight in shining armor and the only man after my heart. I trusted him with all my heart, well, until this day, this night, I caught him in our matrimonial bed with a stranger. He was cheating on me so blatantly because the way he was thrusting into the redhead lady who moaned and dug her claws into his sturdy back; was unreal.
I was so shocked by the scene I froze momentarily by the doorway of our massive bedroom. I felt my eyes burn with hot tears, and my heart clenched painfully as I witnessed the sight. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it was my husband I was staring at, at that moment. Of course, he hadn't noticed me. They both hadn't; as they were still engulfed in the pleasurable moment they were indulged in.
I felt my heart shatter to pieces, my legs wobbling as more tears trickled down my face as I witnessed my beloved husband's betrayal. Never in my life would I have believed Sebastian would do something like this to me. No. It was impossible.
I just couldn't have imagined. I trusted him with all my heart, and I swore before now that I could've vouched for him that he's the most faithful husband in the world. Lol. Jokes on me, right? So much for being faithful.
I felt as though my heart was being ripped out from my chest when Sebastian finally pulled out of the redhead and rolled over on the bed, his gaze accidentally meeting mine. Now, here's the thing. There was no single trace of remorse in his eyes, if at all there had been any emotion, it was shock.
But that was short-lived as the next expression that contorted his face was disgust and pure disdain directed at me. I was so confused I couldn't comprehend why he was staring at me like that. He had never looked at me this way before. Ever. It was the first time and it hurt like hell to witness this. I couldn't understand, and I know I also could no longer endure the sight of watching him still in bed with the redhead after what I had just witnessed. With that, I turned to my heel, heartbroken, I raced down the stairs to the living room downstairs.
I was so hurt. So raged. I couldn't even decipher with emotion I was feeling the most. Never in my life had I felt so betrayed. I just couldn't understand. More tears gushed out of my face as I flung my bag on the floor before collapsing onto the soft couch nearby, my face buried in my palms. I sobbed intensely, my heart twisting with anguish.
With each tear that fell from my eye, I grappled with the reality of what had just happened. It was excruciating to endure. How could the man I loved with all my heart betray me like this?
My moment was disrupted when I heard his velvety yet icy voice pierced through the air, resonating in my ears as he called me by my name.
"Kristine!"
My heart thudded against my chest upon hearing his voice. I felt my body tremble slightly but I fought to compose myself as I eventually lifted my gaze to match his, which remained devoid of any emotions. I felt a wave of anger surge within me as I took in his nonchalant expression. Wasn't he supposed to be on his knees right now, begging for his mistakes? How dare he look at me like that; like I was the one at fault! In that instant, I felt an intense surge to slap him hard across the cheek, but I knew I wouldn't dare.
Sebastian was a beast when he was angry. I know I might have said something about his sweet sides, but trust me, he was a ruthless man, and everyone in the city dreaded him. That's why I had mentioned earlier that he treated me SPECIALLY. Right now, I couldn't dare to provoke him. He seemed to be more angry than I am and I don't even know why.
"Babe, how could you do this to me?" I finally blurted out after an intense moment of locking eyes with him. My heart was clenching painfully and I was merely holding back from breaking down completely. I was really hurt, you wouldn't even understand me. I loved this man so much; I was obsessed with him. And his betrayal really broke me within, not going to lie.
Sebastian snickered, shaking his head with disappointment as he looked at me. "You should be ashamed of yourself for asking that, Kris."
I was shocked. "W- what?" I stammered, unable to believe my ears. I couldn't understand his reply. How could he tell me that?
Just when I thought I had witnessed enough and gotten my heart broken for one night, I finally noticed the envelope that was in his hands as he extended it to me.
My heart sank as my gaze fell on the envelope. I felt a knot in my stomach and a cold thrill run down my spine as several thoughts spiraled through me, contemplating the contents of the envelope. In this situation, I could only imagine it to be one thing. I shook my head. No, It couldn't be. Sebastian wouldn't do that to me. This was all a misunderstanding and I was certain he was going to apologize. So I thought.
My gaze ultimately traveled from the envelope to his eyes once more, and I asked a bit shakily. "W- what's this?"
