Chapter 1
When Silvia Pond received a message from Ada Pond, she was picking out a gift for Neil Remus. Itwas for their third wedding anniversary. Silvia opened the message, but several intimate photos of twopeople caught her off guard. Her face instantly turned pale when she realized who they were. Theywere Neil and Ada, her twin sister! The photos were of them hugging and k*ssing each other. But shespotted one thing in all of them—Neil’s loving gaze as he looked at Ada. Even though Neil and Silviahad been married for three years, he had never looked at her with such a gaze. [Does it look familiar?]Silvia rubbed her temples. The place in the photos did look familiar, but before she could recall where itwas, another message from Ada popped up. [You were supposed to live in that house after thewedding. Don’t you recognize it? [Oh, I almost forgot. Neil refused to let you in the house except foryour wedding night. Do you know why? [Because Neil bought the house for me! If his grandmotherhadn’t taken matters into her own hands on your wedding day, you would’ve never had a chance to setfoot inside!] Ada’s messages made Silvia’s heart beat faster. Her hands trembled as she read them.She clenched her phone and slowly typed a reply. [Stop sending me these photos. Your relationshipwith Neil is a thing of the past.] [Haha. Do you think we’re really over? [I’ve been back in the country fortwo months. Neil hasn’t been home in the past two months, has he? [He hasn’t had time to go homebecause he’s been staying with me at the house every day after work. Do you know what he tells meafter we have S**? He says you’re boring. You’re no different from a S** doll. [You’re a failure of awoman. If I were you, I would’ve killed myself long ago! [You’d better give up on Neil while he’s still ongood terms with you for old time’s sake. Otherwise, you’ll only end up embarrassing yourself!] … Silviacould not remember how she made it home. She only snapped out of her thoughts when she heard thefingerprint lock unlocking. Neil opened the door and saw Silvia sitting near the entrance. Hesubconsciously frowned in displeasure. “Why are you sitting here?” Silvia looked at him. His handsomeface still made her heart flutter. She tried to find a glimmer of affection in his eyes, but all she saw wasannoyance. Neil had looked at her that way for the past three years. She had grown accustomed to it,but her heart ached when she knew that he could look at another woman tenderly. She slowly got upand looked Neil in the eye. “Why did you hide Ada’s return from me?” A hint of surprise flashed in Neil’s
eyes, but he answered indifferently, “You and Ada aren’t on good terms, so I had no reason to tell you.”Silvia forced a smile. Was it because he had no reason, or was he afraid that she would learn about hisinfidelity? She closed her eyes and slowly said, “Neil Remus, if you think of me as your wife, youwouldn’t have slept with Ada in that house. It was supposed to be ours!” Neil’s calm facade cracked alittle. “How did you know?” “You’re wondering how I found out? Ask Ada! I wonder why a mistresswould have the audacity to send me those photos to disgust me!” “Silvia Pond!” Neil was infuriated. Helooked at Silvia coldly. The Ada he knew was innocent. She would not hurt anyone, let alone provokeSilvia. “There’s nothing between Ada and me. She’s only staying at that house temporarily. Besides,she’d never send you any photos!” Neil’s trust in Ada hurt Silvia. Her eyes immediately turned red.“Temporarily? Do you think I’m stupid? Since you believe she’d never send those photos, are youimplying that I’m slandering her?” “I might trust you if it were another person, but you’ve always dislikedAda. You’ve done something similar in the past.” Silvia pursed her l*ps and felt absurd. Neil hadinstinctively sided with Ada without asking her for any details. No wonder Ada dared to send Silviathose photos. She probably knew that Neil would stand by her. Silvia closed her eyes wearily and saidin an indifferent tone, “Whatever. Believe what you want.” Neil got angry. “Ada owes you nothing. Stopspeaking ill of her!” he said in an icy tone. Silvia had done nothing to Ada, yet Neil was alreadyprotective of her. If Silvia were to harm Ada, he would probably make her pay the price. Silvia wore aself-deprecating smile. “Neil, have you ever liked me in the three years of our marriage? Even a tinybit?” Neil’s cold gaze landed on Silvia. “Since I married you, I’ll take care of you for life.” His refusal toanswer spoke volumes. He never liked her. Silvia chuckled. She turned around as she did not want himto see her tears. Then, she said with a broken heart, “Let’s get a divorce.” Despite working hard forthree years, she had only been deceiving herself by believing that she could win his heart. It was timeto face reality. Neil’s displeasure and impatience grew. “Silvia, stop being unreasonable!” Silvia couldnot believe that he found her unreasonable. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and lookedat Neil seriously. “I’m not being unreasonable. I’ll get a lawyer to draft the papers. I won’t claim a singlecent!” she said. Silvia did not offer Neil any of her personal assets when she married him. Since theywere going to be divorced, she did not want him to think that she was after his money. Neil’s
expression darkened when he realized how serious Silvia was. He was exuding a cold aura. “Silvia, Idon’t have time to argue with you. I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear what you said. Let’s talk when you calmdown.” Neil then left without hesitation. It was his usual tactic whenever they quarreled. He would giveSilvia the silent treatment until she gave in to him. Silvia only realized how pitiful she had been in thepast after she decided to get a divorce. Neil never even bothered trying to comfort her when theyargued. However, all this would end soon. The next morning, Silvia met up with a lawyer to draft adivorce agreement. While he printed the agreement, the lawyer tried to dissuade her against herdecision. “Mrs. Remus, Remus Corporation is now worth hundreds of billions. You’ve been married toMr. Remus for three years and have burdened yourself by keeping it a secret. It’ll be reasonable even ifyou demand several hundred million dollars.” Silvia forced a smile. “It’s fine. I only want to divorce himas soon as possible.” The lawyer gave up after he saw her determination. He gave her the divorceagreement and left. Silvia fl*pped to the last page and signed without hesitation. She took off her ringand placed it on the agreement. Then, she got up and went upstairs to pack her things. She finishedpacking in less than an hour since she did not have many things. She did not want anything Neil hadgiven her, so one suitcase was enough. Before she left, Silvia took one last look at the mansion whereshe had lived for three years. She felt no sense of attachment toward it. No matter how hard she tried,she failed to get the one thing she wanted. He never belonged to her. It took her three years tounderstand this, but it was not too late. Silvia walked out of the mansion and saw a red Lamborghiniparked in front of the door. The driver noticed her and honked. Silvia put her suitcase in the trunk andgot into the passenger seat. The driver was a woman with a curvy figure and fair skin. She was alsowearing a pair of oversized sunglasses that covered most of her face. It made her features moredelicate. Once Silvia was in the car, Dulcie Reed cocked an eyebrow and asked, “Have you made upyour mind?”novelbin
