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.

Zack finished washing my feet and was now using a dry towel to wipe them."That's right,the meeting lasted until 1 PM.Then,I went out for a cooperation discussion in the afternoon.As soon as work is done,I'll come to the confinement center to see you."

“Honey,are you upset that I'm too busy with work and don’t have time to keep you company?I'm working hard to make money for the baby formula.I’ll make sure you and the baby have the best life!”

Oscar needed an actor like Zack so much.

His acting skills were so good.No wonder he had managed to charm me before.

"Did you see Wendy today?She hasn’t visited her godson in a few days.I kind of miss her,"I deliberately brought up my best friend's name.

Zack smiled and said,"How would I know where Wendy went?Aside from my dear wife,I have no interest in any other women."

He said he wasn't interested,but when it came to licking,he sure put in a lot of effort.

If I hadn't seen it with her own eyes this morning,I might have been fooled by Zack's seemingly honest and simple face.

After finishing washing my feet,Zack applied some moisturizer to my skin.When he reached my wrinkled belly that hadn't fully recovered,his eyes were filled with pain and he leaned down to kiss it again and again.

"Honey,giving birth was hard for you...I will take good care of you from now on.No matter how you change,I will always spoil and cherish you like I did before!Honey,I love you!”

I felt my stomach churning,nauseous to the extreme."Aren’t you disgusted by my figure?"

"You worked hard to give birth to our son,you're a great contributor to the Orgeta Family.How could I possibly dislike you?I can’t even bear to treat you poorly,"Zack said,pulling me into his arms,his voice so gentle that it seemed to drip with sweetness.

Then,another round of flattery and compliments followed.

"By the way,honey,the compensation for your family's demolition is going to be released by the end of the month.I’ve been thinking seriously about it.How about we have your father invest the money into our hotpot restaurant?This way,we can rapidly expand the chain and keep the profits in the family,not letting the money go to outsiders,"Zack said softly.

If I hadn’t heard this man telling his mistress he wanted to castrate himself,I might have believed him.

“There are only ten more days until I can leave confinement and the compensation for the demolition will be released by then.I’ll give you a satisfactory answer,”I said,my expression unclear.

Zack thought my pale face was just due to the exhaustion from childbirth and he didn’t take it seriously.

“Honey,thank you...you’re so good to me!”

He excitedly hugged and held me,swearing that once the company went public,I and our son would enjoy a lifetime of wealth and prosperity.

“By the way,honey,there’s an urgent meeting at the company.I have to head back and host it.Love you.”Zack kissed me on the forehead before leaving.

I watched as the man walked away,then immediately dialed my father’s number.

“Dad,didn’t you say before that you wanted to liquidate your assets in Chandila and retire abroad?”

“You just had a baby.Your mother and I decided to stay in the country a bit longer to help take care of you,”my father replied.

I took a deep breath and made up my mind.“I’m going to divorce Zack,then go abroad with you and Mom for retirement.”

My father had never approved of Zack as his son-in-law.Even after the grandson was born,he hadn’t shown him the slightest bit of warmth.

Back when I and Zack were still dating,my father had already warned me to be cautious of scheming men like him.

These days,there were plenty of scumbags looking to marry into wealth and then take everything.

But at the time,I was madly in love with Zack and completely ignored my father’s words.

In the end,unable to change my mind,my father reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

Even after the wedding,he never warmed up to Zack.

The funds for Orgeta Family's startup had come from me selling a large luxury apartment.It was gifted to me by my father before marriage.

“Since you’ve thought it through,then go ahead with the divorce.But the Lewis Family’s child must fight for custody,”my father instructed.

I took a deep breath.“No.I don’t want the child either.”

The next morning,Wendy arrived at the postpartum care center carrying several shopping bags to visit me.

“Sandra!I’ve missed you and my godson so much these past few days!”Wendy said as she took off her coat,revealing a tight,sexy camisole dress.

Hickeys were clearly visible on her collarbone and jaw.

But the most eye-catching thing was the sapphire necklace around her neck.

I stared at the necklace for a long moment,my expression darkening.“Wendy,that necklace on your neck looks really familiar…I think it’s the one I saw at the auction last year.”

Wendy touched the necklace around her neck and said with a sarcastic smirk,“People say pregnancy makes you dumb for three years.Are you sure you’re not remembering it wrong?This necklace was a gift from my darling husband.”

No.I was certain this was the very necklace Zack had personally bid for.Its design was one of a kind,with significant collectible value.

I had loved it so much at the time that I’d deliberately paid an exorbitant price to win the bid.

“You’re not getting a divorce with your husband anymore?How come he’s still giving you such an expensive gift?”I asked,my voice calm but cold.I had once felt sorry for my best friend’s unhappy marriage and had treated her with great care,never expecting I’d invited a wolf into my home.

Wendy waved it off nonchalantly.“Just coax men a little and they’ll behave...Oh anyway,Sandra,have you received any strange text messages lately?”

I looked puzzled.“No.Why do you ask?”

“Oh,nothing…I just saw some news recently,”Wendy said casually.“It’s about men who can’t hold back while their wives are in postpartum confinement and go looking for other women.Mr.Orgeta is young,rich and handsome,you’d better keep a close eye on him.”

Her tone was calm on the surface,but the look in her eyes was filled with provocation.

I stared hard at Wendy,whose obviously altered face was smug with the satisfaction of someone who believed she’d gained the upper hand.

I wondered,if someone took a knife to that face,would any man still like it?

“Oh really?Maybe that’s true for other men,but I trust Zack,”I said with a slight curve of my lips.“He loves me so much.He’d never do something like that.”

Wendy let out a soft laugh and pulled two plastic bottles from her bag,handing them to me.“I had a meeting at the headquarters the past couple of days and brought you something good for postpartum recovery.They’re imported.I even translated the labels for you.”

“This one is oral,it’ll brighten up your dull complexion…And this one’s a topical cream for your private parts.It’ll help you regain that tight,delicate feel and make your man absolutely addicted to you.”Wendy’s voice was dripping with enthusiasm.

“I’ve tried both myself.They really work.You have to use them regularly.Your husband always needs to stay hooked.You know how men are.They’re always chasing something fresh.Now that you’ve had a baby,you can’t afford to be sloppy like when you were pregnant.”

I gave a cold smile.“Don’t worry.I won’t waste your kind intentions.”

“We’re besties,after all,”Wendy said,her voice sweet but hollow.“If your marriage is happy,I’m happy for you too.”

But she was celebrating too soon.The real drama was just beginning.

Using fatigue as an excuse,I politely showed her the door.

After Wendy left,I immediately called my assistant to come to the postpartum care center.

I handed over the oral and topical medications and instructed her to send them straight to a testing lab.

That night,I received another video from that same unknown number.

This time,the setting had changed.It was the rooftop and stairwell of the postpartum center.

The video once again showed only Zack’s face.

The infatuated,intoxicated look he gave the camera stood in stark contrast to the venomous,hateful things he had said about me before.

“Sandra,that old hag,has been fawning over me since our school days.If it weren’t for her family’s money,I wouldn’t even have looked at her!Every single second I spend with her disgusts me to no end!There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you!You’re the only one I’ll ever love in this lifetime!”

***

I silently synced the video to the cloud,then turned off my phone and lay back down on the bed.

I didn’t shed a single tear.The ones who should be crying were those two despicable traitors.
