Chapter 6

I thought I was strong enough, but the moment I finished speaking, tears streamed down my face.

As my emotions erupted, Lucas panicked like a child.

He held me tightly in his arms, begging softly: "I was wrong, I was wrong. Stella, Stella, let's start over."

He no longer wanted to deceive himself.

He no longer wanted to act.

His wife was innocent.

Before I could push him away, Chloe appeared and forcefully separated us.

She was hysterical, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she were the wronged wife catching her husband in the act: "Lucas, what about us? What about our child?"

"Have you forgotten? You never liked her. You dated her, married her, only because she's the Gray family's daughter!"

"You love me! We've been in love for eight years!"

"Back then, you saved her only because...!"

"Enough, Chloe, you've gone mad. I'm calling the driver to take you home right now!"

Lucas rushed over to cover her mouth.

Shame, anger, fear - for the first time, I saw so many emotions on Lucas's face.

What was there to hide? I already knew all of this.

But I never expected that I was the other woman.

At this point, I lost all strength.

Seven whole years.

I never imagined I had fallen into an elaborately designed trap.

A man from humble beginnings marrying into wealth for money, abandoning his loyal wife.

How cliché.

I admit I married the wrong person.

I loved the wrong person, and I'll change that.

My heart ached intensely. Marriage is a gamble, and I had lost completely.

Lucas finally got Chloe into the car and locked her inside.

The driver took Chloe away.
