Chapter 5<\/p>\n
Over the next month, Tristan started his long, brutal treatment.<\/p>\n
The heavy-duty antiretroviral drugs hit him hard.<\/p>\n
He threw up constantly, dizzy all the time, and withered away fast.<\/p>\n
The confident man he used to be? Gone.<\/p>\n
And I stayed by his side the whole time, twenty-four seven, taking care of everything.<\/p>\n
I played the devoted wife, the one who\u2019d never leave.<\/p>\n
My dedication made him feel like absolute garbage.<\/p>\n
One night, he grabbed my hand and broke down crying.<\/p>\n
\u201cBabe, I\u2019m so sorry. I\u2019m a piece of shit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was out of my mind. That woman played me like a fool. I\u2019m scum. I deserve to die.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I finally see-you\u2019re the only one who\u2019s ever really cared about me.\u201d<\/p>\n
I smiled, wiped his tears, my voice soft and gentle.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been through so much together. There\u2019s no way I\u2019d walk away over this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were just confused. You got set up. What matters now is getting better.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his guilt, he confessed everything.<\/p>\n
All these years, he\u2019d been sending Ivy money under different excuses. Hundreds of transfers.<\/p>\n
That million? Just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n
Penthouse behind my back.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d even bought her a luxury<\/p>\n
Cars. Jewelry. Worth over a hundred million.<\/p>\n
The more he talked, the more worked up he got, coughing nonstop.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat bitch knew she was sick and still came after me. I\u2019m calling the cops.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m making her give back everything. I want her to pay!\u201d<\/p>\n
I calmed him down and helped him gather all the evidence.<\/p>\n
But Ivy had vanished the second everything blew up.<\/p>\n
Police couldn\u2019t track her down.<\/p>\n
Still, through legal channels, we managed to recover the house and some assets.<\/p>\n
Maybe out of guilt, Tristan transferred all his company shares and assets to me.<\/p>\n
I looked at the signed documents. My heart was racing.<\/p>\n
But my face stayed calm.<\/p>\n
\u201cBabe, I don\u2019t want any of this. I just want you healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll keep your HIV status a secret. We\u2019ll go back to how things were. We\u2019ll plan our future together.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was overwhelmed with gratitude.<\/p>\n
He held me tight, sobbing uncontrollably.<\/p>\n
But he didn\u2019t know-<\/p>\n
I never wanted him dead.<\/p>\n
I wanted him to taste despair first.<\/p>\n
Then give him a sliver of hope, and watch him cling to that hope.<\/p>\n
As he fell, piece by piece, into a pit he\u2019d never crawl out of.<\/p>\n
Six months later, Tristan\u2019s health stabilized.<\/p>\n
His viral load dropped to almost nothing, barely contagious.<\/p>\n
I still stayed cautious-regular checkups, zero risks.<\/p>\n
After discharge, he tried to get back to normal, slowly retaking control of the company.<\/p>\n
We told everyone he\u2019d taken time off for burnout.<\/p>\n
Life got back on track. Tristan relaxed.<\/p>\n

Like the whole nightmare was over, and I was the light at the end of it.<\/p>\n
One day, Tristan had an important international video call.<\/p>\n
Before the meeting, he asked me to tidy up his study.<\/p>\n
I smiled. \u201cSure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then I deliberately took out his HIV meds and placed them in a corner. Just visible enough.<\/p>\n
When I was done, I slipped out of the study quietly.<\/p>\n
