“Everyone was in disbelief, saying there had to be some kind of mistake. But Skyla spoke up and loudly insisted there was no mistake. The baby in her belly is Mr. Spencer’s
“The moment Mr. Spencer heard that, he suddenly snapped at Skyla, cursing her out, saying she had seduced him, drugged him, and tricked him into bed. But Skyla wasn’t about to back down.
“She said even if she drugged him the first time, there’s also the second and third time. She demanded to know if he claims he was drugged then too.”
After hanging up the phone, I sat there in a daze for a long time.
That day, I told Skyla there was a way for her to avoid paying back the money. When she asked me what it was, I said, “Just take Aiden for yourself.”
My original intention was to have her help me push for the divorce. I never expected her to take such an extreme approach.
For a moment, I found it hard to believe.
Thinking back to that “My One True Love” folder filled with all those burning, passionate words, I just found it absurd.
Aiden once declared that their love was pure and honorable so firmly and told me they never crossed the line. He was so confident when he told me not to assume the worst of them.
They used to speak of their relationship as something lofty and ideal–beyond the physical.
And yet, their so–called pure love had been knocked off its pedestal. It withered like a dead flower in the mud.
As for me, the lawful wife, the woman who once lost her mind and made a scene, I quietly sighed at how things had changed.
I divorced Aiden.
He didn’t fight for any properties, nor did he ask for custody of Chloe. He walked away with nothing.
On the day we signed the papers, his eyes were red the entire time, but he didn’t say a word.
When he slept with Skyla, he knew he lost the right to speak to me.
At the very end, he gave me one last long look, his head lowering slightly in a daze before he turned and walked
⚫ away.
Martha and Amelia came to stir up trouble, saying the property division was unfair and demanding we redo the settlement.
