While I was breastfeeding the baby,my mother-in-law,Yohana,burst in furiously and slapped the expense statement onto my face.

"Sandra,are you crazy?How could you choose such an expensive postpartum care center?My son works so hard to earn money and you’ve squandered it all!"she yelled.

I called for the maternity nanny to take the baby away.When I picked up the bill and took a look,I was instantly stunned.

This postpartum care center was owned by my best friend,Wendy Chole.We had agreed on a flat rate of 14 thousand dollars per month for everything included.

But after just one postpartum treatment yesterday,how did an extra 7 thousand dollars in care fees show up on the bill?

"Mom,please don’t worry.I’ll ask the nurse if there was a mistake,"I said,trying to calm her down.

Yohana had already been strongly against me staying at a postpartum center.Wouldn’t it have been better to just give her 21 thousand dollars directly?

“Are you so delicate,spending 21 thousand just for postpartum recovery?When I gave birth to Zack,I was back on my feet working the very next day.You're not some pampered princess,so what are you acting so fragile for?”Yohana said sarcastically.

I finally managed to calm my mother-in-law down and left the room alone,heading to the administrative office to find Wendy.

Just as I was about to push the door open,I suddenly heard nurses inside gossiping.

“I just saw Wendy go up to the rooftop in broad daylight!How exciting.”

"Exactly.I heard Mr.Orgeta is Wendy’s best friend’s husband.The wife’s downstairs in postpartum recovery and the husband’s upstairs fooling around with the best friend.Even soap operas wouldn’t go this far."

"I heard from the cleaning lady that when she was tidying up this morning,the place was littered with used condoms and torn lingerie..."

My head buzzed,a loud ringing drowning out all sound.My body tensed and my fists clenched tightly.

Impossible.

Last night,Zack had clearly been with me the entire time.Before bed,he even warmed up a glass of milk for me.

In the morning,he massaged my lower back,washed my feet and we shared a sweet,intimate moment that nearly got out of hand.

After breakfast,Zack left immediately for a management meeting at the company.How could he still be at the postpartum center,let alone be messing around with my best friend?

All at once,I felt a wave of panic.My scalp tingled with dread.

“Mrs.Orgeta,are you going in?”a staff member's voice suddenly came from behind.

Startled,I instinctively pushed the door open.

When the nurses saw who had entered,they visibly panicked.“Mrs.Orgeta…”

My face turned ashen,my nails digging into my palms as I forced myself to stay calm.

“I’m looking for Wendy,”I said.

“Wendy just stepped out,”one of the nurses replied.

Distracted and unsettled,I mumbled,“Alright,I’ll call her later.”

I left the office,turned toward the stairwell and dialed Wendy’s number.

It rang again and again,but no one picked up.

I switched to Zack’s number,only for the call to be immediately rejected.

Not long after,I received a text message:[In a meeting.]

Whether it was really a meeting or a secret affair,I decided to find out for myself.

I headed to the top floor of the postpartum care center,to the so-called New Dad Learning Center.

To avoid drawing attention,I paid 300 dollars to borrow a cleaning lady’s uniform and slipped in unnoticed in disguise.

It was my first time on the top floor of the center and I immediately found the layout strange.The entire area was made up of small,highly private rooms.There were security guards stationed at the entrance and access required scanning a staff ID.

Walking down the hallway,I stopped in front of the room at the very end.

The door wasn’t fully closed and from inside came familiar sounds of heavy breathing,mingled with the unmistakable rhythm of shameful intimacy.

Peering through the narrow gap,I saw a man and woman entangled,both naked.

Zack was on top of Wendy,performing intimate acts that he had never once done with me.His strikingly handsome face was flushed,as if seared by fire,red enough to drip blood.

"Baby...do you prefer being with me,or with Sandra?"

"Of course with you.Sandra's body changed after giving birth and she still has stretch marks on her stomach.I get disgusted just looking at it."

"Since it's so disgusting,why did you still have a child with her?"

"Little devil,the eggs used in the IVF were yours.Don't pretend to be clueless.Once the demolition compensation comes through,I'll kick that ugly woman out with nothing!"

"Baby,aren't you cutting off your own future?"

I stood frozen,as if struck by a heavy hammer.My mind went blank,but tears couldn't be controlled as they streamed down my face.

My husband had been with my best friend and the child I had struggled for three IVF attempts to conceive wasn’t even mine.

These two adulterers actually wanted to seize the Lewis Family's demolition compensation.

The sounds of the struggle soon stopped.After a short break,the two began a new round of intense move.

Wendy swapped positions with the man,using a tie to bind Zack's hands,forcing him to kneel and lick her like a dog.

Then,Wendy pulled out her phone and aimed it at the man’s face.

"I’m going to take a picture of you like this and send it to Sandra for her to admire.I wonder what her reaction will be?"

Zack's eyes were half-lidded."Sandra,that ugly woman,is like a log in bed.Even if I take a strong pill,I don’t want to touch her!If it weren’t for her being pregnant with our child,I would have divorced her a long time ago!"

"Say that again,what did you call her?"

"Sandra is like a log in bed,like a corpse...just looking at her makes me sick.I wouldn't touch her even if I had to be castrated!"

The words of debauchery made me gag in disgust.

I gripped the broom tightly,my anger reaching its peak.I wanted to rush in right now and stab these two adulterers.But the last bit of rationality stopped me from breaking down the door.

Killing these two would lead to prison for me,but that would be too easy for them.

They deserved a fate worse than death.

I slapped myself across the face,trying to snap out of it.After a moment of calm,I left the top floor alone.

When I returned to my room,my mother-in-law had already left.

I had just sat down on the sofa when my phone chimed with a message notification.In a daze,I picked it up and saw a video from an unknown number.

Through the shaky camera,Zack had a satisfied look on his face,licking Wendy's skin while cursing Sandra.

"Sandra is like a log in bed,like a corpse...just looking at her makes me sick.I wouldn't touch her even if I had to be castrated!"

My face turned pale.

I thought Wendy seducing my husband was already disgraceful,but I never expected her to have the audacity to send me an anonymous video of their affair.

The shameful sounds of their union filled the entire room.My nails dug deep into my palm,not even realizing I was bleeding.

The sounds suddenly stopped and a storm of emotions surged in my heart.

I bit my lip,the salty,metallic taste hitting the tip of my nose.

Just then,the nanny entered,holding the baby.She noticed my pale face and asked with concern what had happened.

I quickly lied,saying I was just tired,then reminded the nanny to take good care of the baby before retreating to my room and closing the door.

Tears flowed uncontrollably,like a faucet that couldn’t be turned off.

Zack and I were university classmates,dating for four years before getting married after graduation.

After marriage,we opened a hotpot restaurant.Through six years of hard work,we eventually built it into a well-known chain.

Zack also became a somewhat well-known entrepreneur in the area.We swapped our villa and luxury cars,living a comfortable life.

Just when I thought I had achieved success in both my career and love life,I was diagnosed with a serious ovarian issue.

The journey to conceive was full of obstacles.I underwent countless ovulation injections and endured extraordinary pain.Finally,after my third IVF attempt,I became pregnant.

Once pregnant,I stopped going to work and focused solely on preparing for the baby at home.

Although Zack’s work was busy,he was attentive to both me and the child.He was always concerned about my well-being,never missing any prenatal check-ups and spent a lot of money on supplements to help me regain my health.

Before the child was even born,Zack purchased a large flat in the city,claiming it was the baby’s first gift.

To my shock,Zack,who appeared to be a devoted husband and a humble man in front of others,turned out to be nothing but a despicable scoundrel.

Without giving myself a moment to catch my breath,I secretly pulled out my son’s hair and sent it,along with my own,to a paternity testing agency via my assistant.

Twenty-four hours later,the expedited paternity test results came back.

I wasn’t biologically related to the child.

The last shred of hope I had left was completely shattered by the cruel reality in that moment.

As long as Zack wasn’t at the confinement center,he would send me text messages and location updates every few hours,reporting his whereabouts.

His subordinates at the company often joked that Mr.Orgeta spoiled his wife to an extreme,calling him a 100%good man.

This"100%good man"who appeared flawless in the eyes of the world,had just spent the morning in bed with my best friend and by evening,he had returned with a completely different demeanor,trying to win my favor.

Zack specially ordered a large bouquet of red roses for me,along with an expensive diamond necklace.He also bought milk tea and snacks,sharing them with the caregivers and the confinement nanny taking care of me.

Every time something was handed to someone,Zack would smile and ask them to take good care of me.

"Darling,you’ve worked hard with the pregnancy and childbirth.I will teach our baby well and when they grow up,they’ll be filial to you."Zack gently held our son in his arms,his face full of tenderness and affection,looking every bit the picture of a loving father.

Before today,I had believed that my husband’s affection was a genuine expression of love,a true reflection of the bond between us.

But it wasn’t until this moment that I realized it was a trap carefully orchestrated by the scoundrel and his mistress,who had long been plotting to take everything from me.

I came from a wealthy family.My parents were in business and they owned several self-built houses that had been included in the demolition area.In just ten days,we would receive compensation from the developers.

However,Zack was nothing but a typical"wicked man."

He was a poor college student who came from a mountain village and during his time in school,it was I who provided him with his living expenses.

To avoid being looked down upon by my family,after graduation,I secretly used all of my savings to start a business.

In the early stages of the venture,I was hands-on with everything.

I traveled alone to the Ocalan area,carefully selecting the best hot pot base suppliers.

Using my network,I secured the best shop locations at low prices and partnered with internet influencers for extensive promotion and traffic generation.

I personally trained employees,supervised the cleanliness of the store and ensured the quality of all ingredients and seasonings.

Step by step,the once obscure hot pot shop developed into a nationally recognized chain restaurant and the company was about to enter its IPO stage.

After achieving success,I gave all the credit to Zack,quietly becoming the woman behind him,focusing solely on preparing for pregnancy and childbirth.

Unbeknownst to me,my deep love and self-sacrifice ultimately became the stepping stone for the scumbag and his mistress to plot my downfall.

The hatred in my heart had reached a boiling point,ready to erupt at any moment.

Several times,I wanted to confront Zack and ask him why,my hand already reaching for the scissors I had secretly taken from the caregiver,gripping it tightly.

But I couldn’t do it.

Murder would cost my life and I couldn’t ruin my future over a scumbag.

"Honey,the doctor said it's best not to take a bath during the confinement period.Let me help you wipe your body and wash your feet,"Zack said as he walked over with a basin of water,gently lifting me from the bed and placing me on the sofa.

He carefully wiped my body,cleaned the lochia and finally washed my feet,all the while with a smile on his face.

The nurse who was helping care for me often sighed and remarked that I had married an exceptionally good man.

Most men wouldn't be able to handle something like helping their wife,but he did it with ease and care.

I thought back to the scene I had witnessed on the rooftop earlier that morning,where the two were entangled and the provocative video that Wendy had sent me.A wave of disgust surged up my throat and I felt a strong urge to personally cut off this bastard's manhood.

But I had to calm down.Impulsiveness wouldn’t solve anything.

“Honey,was the meeting very busy this morning?”I took a deep breath,forcing myself to suppress the negative emotions as I asked.
