Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable
My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.With her hands grasping the sheets tightly, Rose Lin bent up to see him sprawling over her body.
She groaned as the pain and pleasure mixed together. The she pushed her hips upwards in an effort for his body to agree with hers even more.
"Relax."
A smooth voice came from the top of her head. However, she also noticed his breathing became much heavier than usual.
Rose Lin unconsciously released her tightly curled fingers and the bed sheet around her crumbled back down.
It was no other than Burke Gu, the man who she had been married to for half a year.
She had loved him for twelve years, so she didn't really mind trusting him with this simple act.
Burke Gu gazed deeply at the bewildered Rose Lin under him. Her seducing eyes, shadowed by the lurking darkness around them.
The moment he entered her, he groaned as hundreds of thoughts flashed into his mind.
This was his wife – his actual wife. As groans and moans echoed throughout the room, he just couldn't believe that he was this lucky.
It felt as if a fire was lit up right in his chest as he lived in the moment over Rose's skin.
He leaned over and kissed her sweet and soft lips, and she moaned, pulling his face deeper into hers.
The next morning,
a pile of paper dropped in front of Rose.
She stopped what she was doing, stunned at being shocked out of her reverie. She took the forms doubtfully and scanned the familiar content.
Wasn't this their agreement, the contract they signed before marriage?
"What do you mean?"
she said, trying to steady her already shaking voice.
There was a two year deadline on their marriage. They'd already been married for half a year, yet he found the time to take it out again. Was there something wrong?
"Look at the third clause," he stated.
She narrowed her eyes at the third clause of their agreement.
"On the basis of both sides' wishes, both sides can perform the duty of a couple."
She was dumbfounded, her tongue tied at the predicament.
Trust Burke to label sex in such a formal manner.
Back then, there was only one clause in their obligation, that Rose didn't need to serve Burke in bed. All she needed was to act like his wife in public.
Once he saw the change in her face, he reached out and buttoned his suit sleeve with one hand elegantly. "You don't have to think too much into it. I'm a man, and I have my own needs to fulfill, and you happen to be the solution," he stated.
A flicker of surprise flashed in her face.
Did she hear it right? Did Burke just ask her to have sex with him?
In fact, she never really heard him speak of this topic till the time they both signed the arrangement.
