When I Found Out My Husband Betrayed Me, I Divorced Him Chapter 2

I stood up, gripping Edward’s phone tightly in my hand, and walked toward the study step by step.

It was only a short distance away.

Yet every step felt impossibly heavy.

I had never entered Edward’s study before.

I never wanted to interfere with his work .

I never expected that the first time I stepped inside would be because I was catching him cheating.

I pushed open the study door.

The room was a complete mess.

Various strange adult toys hung on the walls.

Several unopened boxes of condoms were scattered across the floor.

Last night, when my pregnancy sickness became unbearable, Edward had stayed by my side, desperately trying to find ways to ease my discomfort.

But he hadn’t stayed with me through the entire night like he used to.

He told me he had something important to handle and left in a hurry.

I thought that “important matter” was Family business.

I never imagined it was rushing here to sleep with his mistress.

I returned to the bedroom in a daze.

Sitting on the sofa, my hands trembling, I opened their chat history.

The very first message was sent on the day I found out I was pregnant.

But even though it had only been seven months, their conversation history was shockingly long.

The first message was from the woman named Honey.

[Don, I’m Alice. I just joined the Family today. You said my hair color looked beautiful.]

Edward didn’t reply for many days.

When he finally did, his tone was cold and distant.

“Don’t send messages like this again. I’m not interested in you.”

“My wife has golden hair too. I only complimented yours because it reminded me of her.”

After that, Alice kept sending him photos of her daily life.

Edward never responded.

Until one day, he unexpectedly sent her a message first.

“I was drunk last night and mistook you for my wife.”

“I’ll give you one million dollars. You’d better keep your mouth shut.”

“If my wife finds out, I’ll make sure you disappear from Sicily completely.”

Alice immediately sent him a nude photo.

“Daddy, if you don’t like me, then why were you so passionate last night?”

Ever since Edward became the Don, women who threw themselves at him were countless.

His attitude toward them had always been ruthless and absolute.

His underboss often said:

“In the Don’s world, there are only two kinds of people—his wife and everyone else.”

But this time, he did nothing.

Not only did he fail to push Alice away, but several times, when she acted spoiled and begged for his attention, he even agreed to take provocative photos and videos with her.

He allowed her to post them on the dark web, showing off their relationship to everyone.

My fingers suddenly stopped scrolling when I reached the day I had fallen and nearly lost the baby.

While Edward was by my side comforting me, he had sent Alice a link to a dog collar.

“Wear it. Wait for me tonight.”

The further I scrolled through the messages, the colder my heart became.

My fingertips turned numb.

How was I supposed to believe that during the months I was carrying his child…

During all those nights when I waited for him to come home…

During countless moments when pregnancy hormones left me anxious and sleepless, while I imagined our baby’s future and planned our life together…

He had been tangled up with another woman?

I tossed the phone aside.

My chest felt tight, and breathing became difficult.

The next second, Edward hurried into the room.

He picked up his phone immediately.

He didn’t even spare me a glance.

“Monica, there’s trouble at the casino. I need to go check it out.”

My throat tightened.

“Can’t you let your underboss handle it?”

Edward turned around.

His gaze fell on my chest, and for a brief moment, a trace of disgust flashed through his eyes.

After becoming pregnant, I had gained some weight.

Just walking back and forth twice had caused sweat to soak through my collar.

Edward’s voice carried a hint of impatience.

“ You know that many people refuse to accept me sitting in this position.”

“I have to put in more effort than anyone else.”

After saying that, he left.

He didn’t notice the change in my expression at all.

Ever since I became pregnant, Edward had cared more about my emotions than ever before.

As long as there was even the slightest change in my tone, he would notice immediately and comfort me.

But this time…

He was too eager to see Alice.

His heart wasn’t with me anymore.

How could he hear my sadness when he wasn’t even looking at me?
