My ex is a cheat

My ex is a cheat

Adventure
5.0
Why did she, a woman like her, dare to slip out of his sight without making a sound? Did she think this was a hotel? Light from the house streamed out as usual, and Izaiah dashed inside, but he couldn't find Ashley anywhere. The usual lights, the sofa, the TV wall, the sofa wall, the blue chandelier... it seemed to be missing something... That woman, that woman didn't even wait for him today. A smirk appeared at the corner of Izaiah's mouth. In the past, no matter how late he came home, that woman would always curl up on the sofa, quietly waiting for him to have a late-night meal. But today, he didn't see her at all. Indeed, she couldn't pretend any longer. Fine, he would let her experience the taste of being humiliated and bruised all over her body later. Izaiah was starting to feel tired. He changed his shoes, took a bath, but there was still no sight of Ashley, and her voice couldn't be heard either. It seemed... she was really not home. A sudden fury erupted in Izaiah's heart. Hastily wrapping his bath towel around himself and slipping his shoes on without care, he searched from the bedroom to the guest room, from the closet, even to the basement... every corner where a person could hide was turned upside down, and he still couldn't find her. Unable to find her, Izaiah's anger grew. This woman, her performance tonight was infuriating! He tried to calm down, forcing a smile on his lips, though his expression was far from pleasant. This woman's heart was growing more wild, doing as she pleased. Good. Leaving, are you? Then don't bother coming back. Izaiah bolted the front door and even locked his bedroom securely before turning in for the night. Without Ashley's nightly declaration of love before bed, without her scent, without her nauseating words, Izaiah found himself sleeping particularly well - better than he had ever slept before. Except for a faint sense of loss when he woke abruptly, and except for the icy cold temperature of his bed linens. The next day, Izaiah woke up not knowing how long he had slept. His eyes still held traces of sleep as he reached for his cellphone. To his surprise, it was almost eleven o'clock. "Ashley, are you courting death?!" Izaiah shouted habitually towards the doorway. If it was like before, Ashley would always bring him a glass of milk, with a disgustingly dutiful look as though she were a good wife and mother. Damn it, why didn't that woman wake him up today? He cursed inwardly as he snapped back to reality. Ashley had disappeared last night. After declaring that she wanted a divorce, she was gone. He wouldn't believe it. He simply wouldn't believe this woman could escape from his control. In no time, Ashley would beg him to return to her, to give her a little love, and yes, even to keep her. Ashley, that despicable woman. It was better without her. There would no longer be anyone to trouble him. Izaiah went to his company as usual. After all, he was the CEO of Flores Enterprise. What if he was late? Who dared to question his being late? From being an insignificant nobody to become the president of such a big company like Flores, There was no one in New York who would not envy him. They would be more envious of the fact that he had married the Flores' beautiful daughter, he had become a winner in life at a young age. However, life was not always so simple and perfect. Izaiah laughed bitterly, adjusted the tie around his neck and strode into the company. "Ashley, the company is still in my hands. Where can you run off to?" With familiar greetings in the background, Izaiah walked expressionlessly into his office. As soon as he sat down, however, the door was pushed open again. Joey said, "Good day, Mr President." Joey is a thorough "badass", the heir to the Gomez's Corporation. He has spent his entire childhood with Izaiah, and because of that, their relationship waxed quite strong till date. Despite being indifferent towards his family assets, Joey spends every day sucking up to Izaiah. Izaiah glanced at Joey and asked, "What's up?" Shaking off his joking demeanor, Joey threw a stack of documents at Izaiah, saying, "These are some psychological analyses regarding mental illness. You should take a look. I believe that Katelynn's condition is actually quite normal..." Izaiah glared at Joey who wisely chose to shut his mouth. Ashley is after all, Izaiah's wife in name. All high society was present for their wedding, and they all knew about their relationship. Of course, there were also those who knew that Ashley did not seem to get along with Izaiah. However, almost no one knew about Izaiah's relationship with Katelynn. The psychologically "fragile" Katelynn was terrified of rumors, so Izaiah seldom appeared with her alone, let alone allowing others to know of their relationship. Joey thought for a moment and said, "Is Ashley becoming jealous because you care so much about 'Katelynn'..." "Shut up," Izaiah replied without even raising his head.
