Chapter 1

My 10-year-old son reported me for watching obscene videos.

He pointed at me angrily and said, "Mom's life with you must be miserable!"

What he didn't know was that this video was captured by the hidden camera I had installed in the bedroom.

The pixelated protagonists were my wife and her lover.

After the police arrived, my wife also rushed home.

Her eyes were red-rimmed as she said, "Honey, I never thought you were this kind of person!"

I let out a cold laugh and said, "Since the police are here, let's talk about the divorce."

"Dad, why are you watching this kind of video?!"

A voice suddenly sounded behind me, and I whipped my head around.

Ten-year-old Liam glared at me angrily, "If I hadn't snuck in quietly, I wouldn't have known you were watching this kind of video!"

I quickly closed the video and was about to explain, but he took out his phone and dialed 911 right in front of me.

"Son, you've misunderstood. It's not what you think."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Mom's life with you must be miserable!"

Hearing these words, I felt as if I had fallen into an icy pit.

Aria and I had known each other for three years and been married for twelve.

From the beginning, we had agreed to be a DINK (Double Income, No Kids) family.

It wasn't until her belly gradually swelled that she came clean with me.

"Honey, I'm sorry. I changed my mind. I want to have a child of my own, so I... tampered with the protection."

When both sets of parents found out about this news, they all pressured me to keep the child.

After Liam was born, I slowly began to experience the feeling of being a parent.

For this son, I can say I held nothing back.

Now, he wouldn't even give me a chance to explain.

Seeing this scene, besides anger at my wife's infidelity, I felt more heartbroken.

"Ding dong—"

The doorbell rang abruptly.

Liam hurried to open the door and pointed at me angrily, "Officer, I want to report my dad for watching that kind of video!"

The two police officers who came looked at me and said, "As a parent, you're not setting a good example for your child. Instead, you're making the child warn you."

Before I could speak, Aria rushed home in a hurry.

Seeing her return, Liam went forward and hugged her arm, "Mom, Dad was secretly watching that kind of video!"

Aria looked at me with disappointment all over her face, "Honey, have I not been good enough that you had to watch those videos?"

She's such a good actress!

When we first got together, Aria told me she liked buying bags. She said she wanted to fill a whole closet with bags.

To fulfill her wish, I worked like crazy. My colleagues joked that I was working harder than a workhorse.

After Liam was born, I quit my stable job against my parents' wishes and started a business with a friend.

In the early stages of the startup, we had cash flow problems.

Aria sent me a link to a handbag.

[Honey, I want this.]

I tried to appease her: [Once this project is secured, I'll buy it for you.]

[Caleb Frost, you can't even afford a bag. You're so useless!]

That night, to secure the project, I drank with the client bottle after bottle until I was nauseous and vomiting.

When I finally bought that bag, wanting to surprise her, she didn't even glance at it.

She said, "That bag is already out of style. Honey, I want this one. I know you're so good, you'll definitely buy it for me."

Only when I bought bags for Aria would she say such sweet words to me.

They were the most insincere words, but I had been fooled by her for so many years.

Thinking of this, I trembled with anger.

"Officer, please check my dad's phone quickly."

Liam urged from the side.

I laughed coldly and said, "Aria Sinclair, do you think I should let the police see the video?"
