After a while I calmed down, and coming out from the kitchen I notice the well prepared table that I made. Anger surged within me. All this and for what?!

Without hesitation, I threw all the dishes on the floor, creating a mess. The food I meticulously prepared was suddenly gone. The maids behind me flinched from the sounds of glasses breaking, as if scared.

"Don't serve dinner," I warned them. "Go clean the mess up." Their Master is probably full. I snickered and marched towards the bedroom. Is our marriage going to fail just like this?

No! My baby still needs a Father!

There's still a chance to reclaim Jasper's attention, to rekindle our dwindling connection.

But as I scrolled through Sophia's social media, a two-month-old post pierced my heart like a dagger: Sophia's own pregnancy announcement.

"Oh, God..." I muttered under my breath, my eyes welling up.

They have a baby. While I do my pre-natal check-ups alone, Jasper accompanied Sophia with hers.

With trembling hands, I clutched my belly. What about my baby? Our baby? All the hope I have earlier shattered into oblivion. The fear of losing Jasper weighted in my mind but right now, I feel so exhausted.

Jasper's arrival home was met with an unsettling silence. The servants hesitated to approach him, whispering about Alice's erratic behavior. The bodyguards briefed him on the earlier incident, their voices laced with concern.

I heard Jasper's car pulled over, but I lay unmoving on the bed. Usually, I'll greet him when he opens the door. After a while, he gently knocked the door and came in.

"The servants told me what happened. I'm sorry if I wasn't here sooner," he said and kissed my forehead. In the past, I would probably smile sheepishly and forgive him. But now, I can't even bring myself to look at Jasper.

"Don't worry about what happened earlier. I'll make sure to find who did it."

"I'm in a bad mood, Jasper," I whispered to him, hoping that he would take notice of me. "You were late."

"Yes," he coaxed. "I'm really sorry, love. Something happened and I needed to be there."

My heart ached. Sophia was the one who needed him! Just an hour ago, she was live on social media. She was craving for chocolates so Jasper brought her to an expensive and famous pastry shop.

"Jasper," I called out to him, hiding the sob that wanted to escape. "Can you buy me chocolates? The baby is craving for it."

"At this hour, Alice? I just got home and you wanted me to go out again?"

"I-I... that's not what I intended... I just wanted to eat chocolates."

His expression soften. "But it's an unhealthy snack. For the sake of our child, Alice."

I stared at him blankly and eventually nodded. I knew that even if I beg, he wouldn't give me the damn chocolates.

"Good. Should I ask the servants to cut some fruits?"

I shook my head no. After all, I should stop expecting that he'll listen to my wishes. Because in this relationship, I'm the one who is unloved.

Jasper sat down on the bed and rubbed my potruding belly. "After birth, I'll buy you chocolates. Bear with it for a while until the baby comes out."

'When the baby comes out, I'll be divorcing you,' I thought in my mind. I can't be stuck in this torturous marriage, waiting for Jasper to love me again.

"Jasper, you forgot that today is our wedding anniversary."

A lone tear fell on my cheek and Jasper hurried to wipe it. "I know, baby. I'm sorry. I promise I'll make it up for you."

I doubt what he said was true. I dare not hope. Eventually, one day, he will also propose a divorce. It's only a matter of time when that will happen.

A gentle kiss was placed on my belly, as if Jasper was easing whatever grieviances were between us. The baby kicked, sensing it's father's presence. I feigned nonchalance and asked him, "How was work?"

I did not fail to notice his subtle change of emotion. Like a criminal who was caught red-handed.

"It was fine." I watch him got up and loosened his tie. "Just the usual."

"Oh..."

"I'll go take a shower."

Just as when Jasper entered the bathroom, his phone softly vibrated on the bedside table. I hastily grabbed it and saw a message from Sophia: 'Did you get home safely?'

I got irritated and tried to unlock Jasper's phone, hoping to uncover more of his affairs. Entering whatever dates that comes to mind: my birthday, his birthday, our wedding anniversary, every date I could think of-- it was all wrong. Somehow, I thought of when Sophia uploaded her first post.

The date matched, I unlocked Jasper's phone!

It was the same date when I had the miscarriage of our first child and Jasper heartlessly made it as his lockscreen. Ignoring the pain in my heart, I carefully browsed his phone.

Sure enough, his gallery, chat history and call history all had Sophia in it. Even changing her name to 'Love' and adding a heart on her contacts.

"They're all trash."

I took pictures of Jasper's infedilty. With this, our divorce process will be smoother, and he would have no choice but to sign the papers.

I went to sleep early, tired from all that happened. Around 4 a.m. in the morning, I felt that Jasper got out of bed and hurriedly changed his clothes.

"Where are you going?" I asked him. He saw me awake and gave a helpless smile.

"One of the transactions almost got busted so I'll take a look."

Lies, I wanted to shout. How could he pretend like that in front of my face?

"At this hour?"

I did not hide my suspicion. I knew it was because of Sophia. It was always because of her.

"What's gotten lately with you, Alice? The dinner, the chocolates... Are you mad at me?" He sighed wearily. "Look, I just wanted to make sure our operations are successful."

He leaned forward and kissed the top of my head. "Go back to sleep."

He left just like that. As I listen to his car leaving, I called a private detective, telling them to investigate about Jasper's endeavors with Sophia in the past.

When I got the reports later, it was just as I expected. Pictures of Jasper and Sophia were displayed in front of me. The two could be seen going to dates, eating in restaurants and even kissing publicly outside. It seemed that Jasper didn't want to hide his relationship at all.

"Should I continue my investigation, Madam?"

I was about to say no, but took notice of my husband's mistress. Beneath her angelic, I knew so well that she was a devil in disguise.

"Can you investigate this woman?" I asked, my finger pointng at Sophia in one of the picture. "I want everything about her."
