During my college, Yale Quinn pursued me for three years.

Three years after marriage, we lived a happy life.

But when he won the Best Actor award, he dumped me and was together with my enemy.

He said, "Let's get a divorce. We are no longer from the same world."

Then I aborted our child without telling him and inherited property of billions of dollars in my family.

When Yale found out, he questioned me fiercely.

"Why didn't you tell me about your family background? Why did you abort our child without telling me? You are so heartless!"

I patted his face and laughed.

"Heartless? I don't have any feelings for a bastard like you. Besides, you deserve this."

During college, the whole school knew that Yale was pursuing me.

For three years, he gave me flowers down the dormitory and expressed his love to me on the campus playground.

Every time, I would leave in embarrassment.

I always rejected him, but he never gave up.

Everyone said that I was pretending to be aloof.

"Yale is the top student in the acting department. He will most likely become the best actor in the future. I don't know why Alice is so arrogant."

I ignored these words.

Later, during a campus performance, the scaffolding came loose and fell towards me.

Yale pushed me away regardless of the danger, but his arm was scratched and left with a scar.

I felt guilty about this, and gradually, I began to fall in love with him until we got married.

Three years after marriage, we lived a happy life.

He would make breakfast for me and massage my shoulders in the evening.

We would hug each other when sleeping.

At night, he said with a charming voice, "Alice, let's have a child. She must be as cute as you."

We were an ordinary but loving couple.

On the day I was pregnant, he won the Best Actor award, and I didn't have time to tell him.

He held the hand of my college roommate Vivian Wood and read out his acceptance speech.

He didn't mention my name in his speech as he had promised, but he mentioned his new lover Vivian.

That day, I felt like my world was falling apart.

2.

On the day that Yale won the Best Actor award, I was going to be filming a scene.

He told me not to go and watch the news on TV.

But I asked for leave from the crew because I wanted to appear in front of the public as his wife.

I wanted to tell him I was pregnant after his speech.

When I entered the inner field, the place was surrounded by fans and reporters.

I could only stand at the back and look at the dazzling Yale onstage.

I jumped up and waved to him, but he was so caught up in his joy that he didn't see me.

At this time, a reporter asked Yale a question.

"Mr. Quinn, I heard that you've been ranked first in the acting department at Yoron University for four years. Now you have won this year's Best Actor award at such a young age. May I ask if the process was smooth?"

Yale took the microphone and said, "How could it be smooth? Although I am the first in my major, my family is poor. I just graduated and didn't have good resources, so I could only start with supporting roles. But even if I played a corpse, I would be dedicated to my role."

"I used to get up at 5 a.m. to play a role and memorize lines at 1 or 2 a.m. Finally, not long ago, I got the opportunity to play the male lead in "September Sky". So I want to say that there are no shortcuts in life, and all glory needs great effort."

"Nice!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

As I listened to Yale's speech, my eyes instantly became red.

After graduating from college, I saw how hard he worked, so I gave up relying on my family and chose to share the joys and sorrows with him.

Yale's family was poor, and he took out loans to go to college for four years. I helped him pay off the loans and let him live in the house I bought.

I supported our life just because he said, "Alice, I will make money to buy a house for us and give you a home."

However, he was unwilling to act in a drama with me, and our marriage was so low-key that only the two of us knew about it.

I asked him why he didn't make our marriage public.

He said, "When you become the best actress and I become the best actor, we will meet at the top and then we can officially announce our relationship and become a couple that everyone envies."

This was my goal. My family had offered to help me many times, but I always refused. I wanted to rely on my efforts to become the best actress.

I got the female lead in "Moon Phoenix", and the director was internationally renowned.

As long as the filming was finished, I would catch up with Yale.

After the applause, another reporter squeezed out of the crowd and asked Yale, "Mr. Quinn, who do you want to thank the most for your achievement?"

Yale held the microphone with excitement in his eyes.

I instantly returned from my thoughts and showed a smile.

We promised each other that we would mention each other's names in our acceptance speeches.

"First of all, I would like to thank the teachers at school for their teachings and my classmates for their help..."

Yale thanked those who had accompanied him along the way, and I was very happy for him.

He continued, "Most importantly, I want to thank one person. She is indispensable in my life. Without her, I wouldn't have reached the height I am today..."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but shed tears.

I knew that he was talking about me and our promise.

Yale didn't continue speaking but looked at the side of the stage.

Everyone looked over there, and I looked over there too.

I saw a graceful figure wearing crystal high heels walking towards Yale.

Vivian was my college roommate and the one who instigated the other two roommates to isolate me.

Just as I was wondering, Vivian staggered perhaps because her foot was twisted.

Yale rushed over and supported her, showing a distressed expression.

Before I could react, I felt a thunder seemed to strike me.

Yale said tenderly again, "This person is her, Vivian Wood, my lover."

I stood there in a daze, feeling cold all over.

For a moment, I thought I had heard the name wrong.

The scene was noisy.

"Vivian is the daughter of the Wood Group, one of the top entertainment groups in the country."

"Vivian became the best actress long ago with the support of the Wood Group."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Quinn's lover is Ms. Wood. They are a perfect match!"

I felt like my whole body was in an ice cellar and I couldn't breathe.

On the stage, Yale held the trophy in one hand and held Vivian tightly in the other.

It was as if they were a loving couple and I was the mistress.

Vivian seemed to see me and smiled at me, which was sarcastic.

I didn't know why she was targeting me all the time.

When I was in college, I got along well with my other two roommates.

But I didn't know what Vivian gossiped about me behind my back. My other two roommates and some people in the school avoided me.

That day, I didn't know how I got back home.

When I got home, I was soaked by the rain.

After taking a shower, I couldn't fall asleep all night.

I knew that Yale had cheated on me.

I lost my lover again.

3.

Yale didn't go home that night.

On such an important day, they must have been sleeping together.

The next morning, Yale posted a Facebook: [I will hold your hand forever and never let go.]

He posted a picture of ten fingers crossed together.

Ten minutes later, this post went viral.

Everyone was blessing Yale and Vivian.

I put my phone down, ignoring it.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to hold back my tears.

We had been in love for four years and got married for three years, and I couldn't let go easily.

Besides, I was pregnant now...

At this time, my agent, Mary, called me.

She said with a nervous tone, "Alice, I've asked for leave for you. How are you now..."

I knew what she wanted to say. Not many people knew about my marriage to Yale.

Apart from my family, Mary knew about it.

"I'm fine, Mary. But I want to be alone now. I'm sorry."

I interrupted her and hung up the phone.

I rubbed my eyebrows and felt a little hungry.

I hadn't eaten anything since I asked for leave yesterday morning.

Just as I was getting up to have breakfast, I suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

It was Yale and Vivian.

When I saw them, I instantly got angry.

I went up to slap Yale.

"Alice, you..."

Vivian stepped forward and wanted to slap me.

"Shut up! You have no right to speak here!"

I slapped Vivian in the face.

Vivian stared at me in disbelief and wanted to fight with me.

Yale stopped her and said, "Alice, I think you know what happened yesterday. I'm sorry. It's my fault. You can hit or scold me. Don't hurt Vivian. I love her."

I was so angry that I almost collapsed to the ground. I screamed out, "What about me? What am I to you? You pursued me for three years. We were in love for four years, and we were married for three years. It's been ten years. What do you think of our relationship?"

Yale didn't answer, but lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."

Vivian took out two agreements from her bag. She looked at me proudly and said with a smile, "Alice, sign them."

I looked at Yale in confusion.

He said, "Alice, these are the divorce agreement and a nondisclosure agreement. I don't want our marriage to be spread out. It will be bad for both you and me."

I saw the words on the agreement.

Yale wanted to give me one million dollars in hush money.

I felt heartbroken.

In the seven years we had been together, I paid for his student loans and daily life, which cost more than one million dollars.

Unexpectedly, he wanted to use one million to make me shut up.

"Okay, I hope you don't regret it."

I nodded with a wry smile and signed the divorce agreement.

As for the one million dollars, I didn't care about it.

"It's up to me to decide whether to spread it or not."

After saying this, I sat down on the sofa, feeling a little tired.

I touched my belly and suddenly felt some pain, and then I started to retch.

I knew it was morning sickness, but I hadn't eaten for a day and couldn't vomit.

Yale was a perceptive person, and he guessed that I might be pregnant.

He took a step forward and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.

"I hope you can think it over carefully. Spreading it out will do no good to either you or me." He left with the signed divorce agreement.

After Yale left, Vivian approached me.

I heard her laughter, and she was very happy.

She leaned close to my ear and smiled.

"Alice, this is just the beginning. I will return you double the pain you made me suffer."
