Chapter 4

That woman got pregnant.

He couldn't wait any longer. He personally brought the divorce papers, along with a ten percent share transfer agreement.

It hit me then: he never intended to have a child with me from the start.

I’d had a miscarriage once, and after my body recovered, he always made sure to take precautions, no matter how much I protested.

Yet now, he’d gotten another woman pregnant.

I was sickened to my stomach.

I ripped up the divorce papers, tore the share transfer agreement to shreds, and threw them at him.

"Julian, *you* betrayed me! I don't want your shares, and I won't make it easy for you two!"

I couldn't face any of it.

I requested a transfer to field duty, fighting crime, catching criminals.

I simply wouldn’t come back to discuss the divorce with him.

He stopped caring about appearances. He bought the mistress a villa for her pregnancy.

The whole thing became public knowledge among our relatives and friends.

Our relatives and friends, believing I couldn't conceive, tacitly accepted his infidelity, thinking my infertility played a part. They just saw it as a messy, regrettable situation.

Even his father, seeing that there was already a child on the way, rarely intervened.
