Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride
Chapter 1
Chapter1
I never expected a random late-night phone call to shatter my world.
A strange woman told me, out of nowhere, that my husband was a beast in bed.
I thought it was a prank until she sent me a video.
What I saw next froze me to the core—my husband, who claimed to be on a business trip, tangled up in bed with another woman.
When I was getting ready to go to sleep
I got a call from an unknown number in our city.
Are you Jen Middleton?
I didn't hesitate and said
Yes, that's me. Who's this?
Instead of answering, the woman laughed and said
Your husband is so wild in bed
I was completely confused
and was about to ask who she was
the call was abruptly cut off
a troubling thought crossed my mind
how did the caller know my name so accurately?
Lost in my thoughts, I received a video through text from the same unknown number, followed by a message.
Don't believe it? Take a close look at the true colors of your husband, Max Jennings
my mind went blank
curiosity got the better of me and I pressed play.
Instantly, the sound of a woman moaning loudly came from my phone
shockingly loud against the silence of my bedroom.
I quickly turned the volume down!
It showed a hotel room with a king-sized bed
clothes strewn all over the floor
they humped each other like wild bunnies.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the video
My little pussycat, twice isn't enough for you?
I was stunned,my entire body went rigid.
The man in the video was my husband
Just last night, Max called me
complaining about how difficult the client was
This means that my husband, Max Jennings, was using his business trip as a cover to cheat on me with his mistress in a hotel!
As someone who cannot stand deceit, I immediately called Max.
However, he hung up after just two rings!
Shortly after, Max sent a voice message
I'm in a meeting right now, babe. Can't talk on the phone, but I miss you!
At the same time, I received another video from the same perso
This new video was even more disgusting and infuriating!
In the video, Max was shown bathing in a transparent glass shower, and two used condoms were lying on the carpet
The mistress purposefully zoomed in and asked Max in the video
Max, you're so naughty, lying to your wife about being busy with work out of town
How else would I find time to be with you?he replied
The woman glanced at her phone's camera, locked eyes with me, and turned to my husband said
You bad boy! Is it because your wife is pregnant and it's inconvenient that you can't bear to touch her and now you're so horny?
Tonight, I almost broke under you
Do you think she tastes as good as you?
Do you think she tastes as good as you?
Max scoffed dismissively,
Even if she wasn't pregnant, I would be too lazy to touch her.
The woman pressed on,
So, Max, when are you actually going to divorce her?
Max spoke in a soothing tone,
Baby, please be patient, okay?
Now is not the right time.
I will not go back on my promise to you.
The woman sounded annoyed,
Then tell me, when is the right time?
Wait until she..."
The video abruptly ended there.
Even though I knew it was the mistress intentionally provoking me,
I still fell into her trap.
I immediately called her and demanded,
Who exactly are you?
She seemed to anticipate my call and calmly replied,
Who I am doesn't matter.
What matters is that I just slept with your husband."
I could hear the sound of running water through the phone
Max must have been showering, which gave her the audacity to openly taunt me.
Don't you have any shame?I said
I wouldn't be stealing your husband if I had any shame,
she casually laughed, taunting me further,
Jen, if you really care, why don't you just divorce him and make space for me?
You...
I was about to hurl back an insult when suddenly Max's voice came through the phone,
Baby, who are you talking to?
Your wife,the woman playfully cooed.
And then, over the phone,
she made me listen to her and Max being intimate in bed.
Chapter2
Your husband is so wild in bed!
On the eve of my childbirth,
I received a provocative video from my husband's mistress,
flaunting their affair.
In the video,
my supposedly loyal husband,
Max Jennings, and his mistress were entangled in a hotel bed,
exchanging dirty talk and engaging in various positions.
The shock of it all triggered premature labor,
I used to believe with certainty that while any man in the world might cheat,
my Max never would!
Max, who was two years ahead of me in college,
caught my eye during freshman orientation and it was love at first sight.
Even after we got together,
Max's thoughtfulness and devotion never wavered.
I felt like a pampered princess,
and he promised a lifetime of gentle companionship and attentive care.
Max came from a humble rural background
Despite the fact that I originated from an affluent family
I did not reject his proposal because of the difference between our family backgrounds
my father was the principal of our school.
He didn't approve of max and I at first
but a car accident took my parents' lives
Max and I were married three months later.
Just in our second year of marriage, he strayed.
To make matters worse,
it happened while I was pregnant with our child.
Perhaps sensing my turmoil, the baby kicked against my belly repeatedly, as if trying to calm my emotions.
With each kick, my agitation only grew,
tears flowing incessantly like a broken faucet.
Around six in the morning,
my mother in law burst into the room, her voice filled with irritation.
Jen, it's already past six, and you're still lying around!
Do you want to starve me?
I was completely surprised and couldn't understand why my mother in law had changed so drastically.
Had I done something to upset her?
But today, I really wasn't feeling well.
I couldn't resist her strength as she pulled me up from the bed.
But as soon as I stood up, I felt a warm gush between my legs.
I cried out in fear, my voice trembling,
Mom, my water broke!
At that moment, I instinctively held my breath
squeezed my legs together
but the amniotic fluid kept flowing uncontrollably.
What's there to cry for when you're in labor?
Don't you know crying brings bad luck?
I felt abandoned by both my mother in law and likely Max,
who was probably cosying up with his mistress in some hotel.
I reached for my phone on the bedside table with the intention to call 911 for an ambulance.
But before I could dial, my mother in law snatched the phone away and ended the call.
She pocketed the phone, glaring fiercely at me.
You think calling 911 is free, you wasteful woman?
I pleaded, Mom, I'll pay for the ambulance.
Give me the phone!
But my mother in law retorted
You pay? Isn't all your money still my son's?
Today, I won't let you waste my son's hard-earned money!
Just give birth at home, shout a few times, and it'll be over.
Why go to the hospital?
I had always assumed she was simply uneducated and stubbornly traditional, but I never imagined she would go this far!
I was utterly stunned!
She took my phone
However, I couldn't just sit around waiting for help.
I prepared to go downstairs to catch a cab to the hospital.
But as soon as I reached the ground floor,
excruciating pain surged through my stomach,
rendering me unable to walk.
eventually collapsing on the ground
When I woke up,
I found myself in the hospital,
still feeling dazed and confused.
The nurse informed me that a neighbor who was out jogging in the morning had come to my rescue.
We must do the surgery now!" the doctor explained urgently.
Women giving birth is just like a hen laying an egg.
What's so special about it?
There's no such thing as painless childbirth for women!
My mother in law turned to me with a fierce glare
I couldn't bear it anymore.
Having a baby is my own business.
I'll have one! It's none of your concern!
My mother in law turned around, glaring fiercely at me.
For a useless baby girl,
who gave you the right to waste five thousands on surgery?
Suddenly, it all became clear to me:
Why did my mother-in-law's attitude towards me completely change after I had the prenatal examination?
Chapter3
Your husband is so wild in bed!
On the eve of my childbirth,
I received a provocative video from my husband's mistress,
flaunting their affair.
In the video,
my supposedly loyal husband,
Max Jennings, and his mistress were entangled in a hotel bed,
exchanging dirty talk and engaging in various positions.
The shock of it all triggered premature labor,
resulting in a stillbirth that left me utterly devastated.
The child's body hadn't been cremated yet
and he was busy indulging with his mistress!
When I regained consciousness,
Max sat beside me,
dozing off while holding my hand.
Thoughts of those repulsive videos sent a shiver down my spine.
I quickly withdrew my hand,
repulsed by the touch that once brought comfort.
He awoke, pleasantly surprised.
Darling, you're awake!
The term "darling" made me nauseous,
as if I had swallowed a swarm of bugs wriggling in my throat.
But I lacked the energy to argue with him at that moment.
I asked directly, Where is the baby?
In his usual gentle tone, Max replied
The baby is in the incubator, sweetheart.
Let's wait a couple of days before you see the baby.
Yet, as three or four days elapsed
Max continued to find excuses to keep me away from the baby
I became more suspicious,
feeling the need to witness it myself.
Max finally revealed the truth
Jen, the baby didn't make it.
I slapped Max across the face
The baby stopped breathing right after birth
Max's face reddened from the slap,
as he choked back tears.
And he told me the baby was born deformed
Max brought me to see the baby at the hospital.
As I gazed at the tiny, cold bundle, tears streamed down my face.
In the end, I fainted in Max's arms.
On the day I left the hospital,
Max showed up late in the afternoon
claiming he had a last-minute work emergency.
But as I leaned against him,
I caught a whiff of a distinct perfume scent
one that belonged to a woman.
The child's body hadn't been cremated yet
and he was busy indulging with his mistress!
During those days
I found the matter of the child's deformity suspicious.
With today's medical technology,
it's impossible not to detect the baby's deformity after so many prenatal check-ups.
I decided to find out whether it was a problem with my body or a medical accident before dealing with Max.
before I could even make a move
that woman couldn't hold back any longer!
This time, it was a photo.
The woman was sitting on Max's lap
wearing a black silk slip dress with lace trim.
Although her face was not visible
the dress looked familiar.
my phone buzzed again.
The woman had sent me a message,
Jen, do you think I look sexier in this slip dress than you?
It was the same slip dress that Max had given me before I got pregnant.
I set my phone aside and hurriedly searched through the wardrobe.
I still couldn't find it.
To think that Max gave my clothes to his mistress,
how disgusting can he be!
What other shameless things has he done?!
That night, I sat on the edge of the bed wearing the slip dress from my pregnancy days.
When Max walked in,
his face darkened slightly upon seeing what I was wearing.
He subtly suggested that I change into something else.
Where is my black silk slip dress?
Max's eyes flickered with a hint of nervousness
That one? Hmm, not sure. Maybe it got thrown away with the old clothes when we were tidying up?
When I proposed to go to the hospital to investigate the child's problem
Max strongly stopped me.
My mother-in-law stormed into the room
her face filled with anger.
How dare you cause trouble by going to the hospital!
You bring bad luck, you brought misfortune upon your own parents, and now you've own your child.
I got up, grabbed her hair and started fighting with her.
I lost control, pinning her down on the bed, repeatedly striking her.
Consumed by anger, I forcefully shoved my mother-in-law,
causing her to fall to the edge of the bed, audibly in pain.
Max! This little tramp wants to kill me!
