"Celine, this is Ruby. She is my lover, my future wife."
It was like being struck by lightning in broad daylight when Celine heard from the mouth of Nicolas - her husband - that the beautiful woman was his girlfriend.
Celine was shocked beyond belief. In front of her stood Nicolas holding hands with a beautiful woman he had never met before. The woman smiled sweetly at her, as if she didn't feel the slightest bit guilty.
"Your lover? Your future wife?" repeated Celine in a trembling voice.
"Yes, Celine. She is my future wife!" said Nicolas firmly.
Celine shook her head in disbelief at the surprise given by her husband on the day of their fifth wedding anniversary. Since earlier, Celine had been busy in the kitchen preparing a special dinner with her husband. Celine had even prepared a small surprise for her husband.
But everything got messy.
Earlier, Nicolas had told her that he would be leaving early because he had something to say.
And then...?! Nicolas comes home with another woman who will become his new wife.
Celine could only sigh deeply. She tried to calm her overwhelming emotions.
"Come on in, baby, this house is your house too," Nicolas said, leading her into the house.
"What do you mean, Nico?" Celine pulled Nicolas' arm, but Nicolas nimbly brushed Celine's hand away.
"Why are you doing this to me? Why are you betraying me? What did I do wrong? What?" asked Celine softly trying not to cry.
"What do you mean, that you're going to divorce me, huh?" So many questions came to Celine's mind.
"Think for yourself, Celine. I don't need to explain. You should understand!" Nicolas said sarcastically.
Celine's mother-in-law also came, the middle-aged woman immediately warmly welcomed the arrival of the woman named Ruby.
"Celine, you should know. I asked Nicolas to marry Ruby. It's been five years since you guys got married, but you haven't gotten pregnant yet. I'm sure this Ruby, she can give Nico a child!" said Maria, Nicolas' mother.
"Yes, Celine, you're right. And, one more thing! You look uglier and uglier every day. You're not as beautiful as you used to be, I'm so tired of you looking like a maid! That's the reason why I haven't introduced you as my wife until now!" continued Nicolas with a small smile.
Hearing the reasons of her mother-in-law and her husband, Celine felt hurt. The spit she swallowed was very bitter. Her heart was torn apart, like being stabbed by thousands of needles. However, she still tried to remain calm.
"But, Nico... I can be beautiful again if you want, even more beautiful than Ruby. And I can definitely conceive a child for you." Celine held both of Nicolas' hands hoping that he would end his relationship with Ruby.
"Celine, never mind. You have to accept this fact!" Maria swatted Celine's hands away, even going so far as to push Celine's body to the floor. "Nico doesn't need you anymore!" Maria snapped.
Celine looked at Nicolas with tears in her eyes.
"Nico, have you forgotten all the sacrifices I've made for you?"
Celine was a beautiful model who was quite famous. Celine left the career that had made her name in order to fulfill Nicolas' game. Even Celine was so patient as a wife and daughter-in-law even though her marriage was kept a secret.
Celine was patient enough for five years that her husband never introduced Celine as his wife. At the request of his father and mother, Nicolas complied.
Although Celine is a model. However, everyone knew that Celine was the daughter of a maid and her father was a gardener. However, her father and mother had died when Celine was a teenager. Celine is a model, so her parents' identity is easily revealed even if she keeps it a secret.
In addition, Celine had given Nicolas all of her wealth, the result of her hard work as a model. At that time, Nicolas' company was in trouble and was about to go out of business.
Celine sold her mansion, car, jewelry, and all her valuables to help Nicolas' company.
Nicolas looked sarcastically at Celine, "Yes, Celine, I still remember! But your sacrifice was nothing!"
Maria and Ruby chuckled as if laughing at Celine.
