Chapter 4

It was as if nothing had happened.

He took off his coat and changed into slippers.

Kieran calmly walked into the bathroom to wash his hands.

After tidying up, he walked over to me.

"Actually, I've wanted to tell you for a while. I just couldn't find the right opportunity."

"Nora and I have been together for 4 years. We got married last year."

He spoke lightly.

Like he was talking about something completely ordinary.

We'd been together for 6 years, and he'd been cheating for 4 of them.

I had so much to say.

But it all stuck in my throat.

They were married. Protected by law.

Did that make me the mistress?

I started vomiting uncontrollably.

Kieran smelled exactly like Nora.

The flush on his cheeks hadn't completely faded.

I stared at him, forcing myself to stay calm.

"Then what am I? You fell in love with someone else, so why didn't you say anything?"

With every word I spoke, my heart bled.

But Kieran's face showed no emotion.

He even seemed to be reminiscing.

"Gianna Johnson, you don't need to talk to me like that."

"You think that necklace around your neck and those designer bags in your closet fell from the sky? I'm just an ordinary person who wants a better life. What's wrong with that?"

"Even if I cheated, I never treated you poorly, did I? I took you on trips abroad. I served you like a princess every day. Isn't that enough?"

As he spoke, he suddenly bent down and helped me up.

A playful glint appeared in his eyes.

His hand gently brushed across my forehead, straightening my messy hair.

"Gianna, actually, I've already prepared a parting gift for you."

"Nora's family is really wealthy, and they treat their employees well. Her driver, Wade Davis, makes over 10,000 a month."

"I've arranged everything. In a couple of days, you'll marry Wade. At least you'll have a good life from now on."

Kieran's voice was especially gentle.

Just listening to his tone, you'd really think he had my best interests at heart.

How ridiculous.

I wasn't his property. Why should I follow his arrangements?

"Kieran Smith, you're truly despicable."

Those words completely killed any desire I had to argue with him.

He had become a completely different person.

The good man in my memory gradually blurred.

Or rather, this was who he'd always been.

He'd just hidden it too well.

6 years, wasted on a jerk.

Looking at his shameless face, my blood boiled.

I spat right in his face.

The next second, Kieran's expression changed completely.

When he turned back, his face had turned vicious.

"Who are you trying to act pure for?"

"When you were with Wade Davis, weren't you moaning loud enough?"

As he spoke, he actually pulled out surveillance footage.

He laughed wildly.

"I knew you'd say that."

"So on our engagement day, the person in bed with you wasn't me at all."
