Chapter 1

On our wedding night, my wife was waiting for me in bed, wearing a sexy nightgown she had spent hours choosing.

I grabbed my bathrobe and took a quick shower.

When I stepped out, I noticed her phone buzzing on the bathroom shelf.

Driven by curiosity, I unlocked it.

A pinned group chat with seven members instantly caught my eye.

The latest message was a steamy, post-shower photo my wife had sent just five minutes ago.

[Even though I'm married now, you guys are still my babies. Same old rules—here's a little treat to keep you hooked.]

The replies beneath were from six different young men, their profile pictures oozing smugness as they cheered.

Monday: [Damn, Mia! Your body keeps getting better and better!]

Tuesday: [Mia always knows how to take care of us!]

Wednesday: [Tonight was supposed to be my night with you, Mia. That lucky bastard gets you for cheap tonight!]

As I scrolled through the disgusting chat history, a wave of dark excitement washed over me.

The perfect wife I had handpicked for myself... she really didn't disappoint!

I slipped her phone into my pajama pocket and walked back into the bedroom.

On our massive king-sized bed, freshly made with luxurious white silk sheets, my wife, Mia, was lying on her side. Her long, slender legs were completely bare.

"Babe, hurry up! I've been waiting forever!"

I remained silent, my brows furrowing. Mia didn't notice my mood at all.

Instead, she pouted and whined, urging me to get into bed. She looked completely impatient.

"You know we're married now, right? Get over here!"

"What are you staring at, babe? It's our wedding night! We shouldn't waste a single second."

I stared at Mia, the anger inside me ready to boil over.

So she did know it was our wedding night. Yet she still found the time to send nudes to her group of male models.

Mia sat up. Her beautiful face instantly twisted with annoyance.

"Ethan, it's our wedding night. Why are you giving me attitude? You're being so weird!"

Her shameless gaslighting snapped my last thread of patience.

"I'm being weird?"

"Then why don't you explain who these guys in your group chat are? And why you just sent them a naked photo of yourself?"

I pulled her phone from my pocket and threw it onto the bed.

Mia froze. Panic washed over her face in an instant.

She snatched up the phone and opened SnapChat. Sure enough, the replies from her group chat were staring back at her.

"Ethan! You went through my phone?!"

She didn't answer my question. Instead, she tried to turn the tables on me.

I wanted to laugh. My wife was always like this.

The moment she got caught doing something wrong, she would attack the other person to put them on the defensive.

As if that magically erased her own guilt.

I stared at our framed wedding photo on the nightstand. Right now, that beautiful memory felt like a slap in the face.

Everything in this room screamed "happily ever after," but I knew it was all a cover-up for something incredibly ugly.

"Mia, I'm a normal guy. I can't just sit here and let other men drool over my wife's naked body!"

"It's late. We're getting a divorce tomorrow morning."

Hearing the word "divorce," Mia rushed over and wrapped her arms around me.

"Babe, no! We literally just got married today. How can we divorce tomorrow?"

"What will our families and friends think of us?"

"I can explain the group chat, I swear!"

"You know how stressed I've been with the company lately."

"Last week, I was celebrating my bestie's birthday, and we just added a few of the hot servers for fun."

"Everything in that chat is just a joke! It means nothing. I've never touched any of them. Please believe me, Ethan."

I tried to pry her hands off me, but she held on for dear life.

Looking down at her from my height, I saw her beautiful eyes filling with tears. She looked so fragile and pathetic.

"Is sending naked photos of yourself also a 'joke'?"

"Babe, I was stupid. I lost my head. It's my fault, okay? Please don't leave me!"

"I'll delete the group right now! I'll never talk to them again!"

She quickly grabbed her phone and left the pinned group chat right in front of me.

"Ethan, I love you so, so much. Just forgive me this once. Please don't divorce me, okay?"
