Chapter 3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damn it! Dorian really was cheating!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both photos were blurry, probably taken by accident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Spending my money to buy phones for his little slut, and now making me use her sloppy seconds!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dorian, you\u2019ve really outdone yourself!\u00a0<\/p>\n
From college sweethearts to wedding bells-all these years together, and I had no idea when he\u2019d even started cheating!\u00a0<\/p>\n
All this time, I\u2019d been terrified of shortchanging him, working my ass off building my career.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I spent two-thirds of every year traveling for business, never imagining that my head was already crowned with the greenest of horns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I shut the door, pulled out a bottle of whiskey, and took a hard swig, telling myself to stay calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dorian stormed in, clearly irritated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVictoria Sterling, have you been drinking in the house again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
S\u00a0<\/p>\n
I capped the bottle and stood to open the window. I was going to catch this bitch red-handed today!\u00a0<\/p>\n
But I still couldn\u2019t figure out how the two of them had managed to avoid the smart lock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I googled potential vulnerabilities in this lock model, but found nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Turning back, I began massaging Dorian\u2019s shoulders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWork stress has been overwhelming lately. I couldn\u2019t help having a drink, but I\u2019ll stop now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dorian huffed petulantly and walked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I used to love that aloof act of his-like a ruffled little kitten.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u30f3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who knew he was actually a complete scumbag!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I went to the bedroom alone and searched through Dorian\u2019s nightstand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After carefully counting the condoms, I discovered two boxes were missing!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Deep in the drawer, there was now a bottle of lubricant that hadn\u2019t been there before!\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were really getting creative!\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, when Dorian\u2019s hand crept toward my chest, I smoothly dodged it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company\u2019s project review has been keeping me swamped. Let\u2019s get some sleep-I have to work early tomorrow!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dorian seemed annoyed but turned away with a cold huff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, I went to work as usual, constantly monitoring the router management app on my phone, waiting for that person to return to my\u00a0<\/p>\n
house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shortly after I arrived at the office, that iPhone 16 Plus appeared again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perfect! She\u2019d calculated exactly when I\u2019d reach the office, timing her visit for when I\u2019d be away from home!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I told my subordinate Emma Watson, \u201cI need to step out for a family emergency. Call me if anything urgent comes up at the company!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emma nodded. \u201cGot it, Victoria!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I floored the accelerator until it nearly smoked, driving so fast I practically took flight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What was normally a 15-minute drive, I compressed into 5 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I parked and immediately rushed upstairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I got home, Dorian was wearing an apron and cooking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whenever he wasn\u2019t traveling for exhibitions, he always cooked at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked surprised to see me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow come you\u2019re back? Did you forget something?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I ignored him, charging into the bedroom and guest room, searching frantically.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned everything upside down-curtains, under the beds, even checked outside the windows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But aside from Dorian, there was no one else in the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is she? That pale little whore?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dorian followed me into the bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat whore? What\u2019s gotten into you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I took a deep breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was infuriating-where the hell was she hiding?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dorian looked utterly wounded. \u201cVictoria Sterling! What exactly are you trying to do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t keep up the charade anymore and shot him an icy glare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he maintained that gentle expression, carefully arranging the dishes he\u2019d prepared on the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre things at the company really that stressful? Look how upset you are!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you\u2019re home anyway, let\u2019s eat together. I even made braised pork!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I responded with a flat \u201cMm-hmm. Too much work stuff going on. I\u2019ll skip the meal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This food wasn\u2019t meant for me at all!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dorian was extremely strict about his physique. When I wasn\u2019t home, he basically only ate diet meals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The braised pork was definitely prepared for someone else!<\/p>\n
