Chapter 1 An Affair
"Go to hell, won't you?"
After expressing his anger, the man stormed out the room.
He slammed the door shut. The woman on the bed left inside the room raised her head as soon as she heard the crisp sound of the door's locks.
She was a beautiful woman. Her eyes were not big, and the bridge of her nose was not so high. While her features didn't stand out on their own, it all looked extraordinarily perfect together.
But her beauty was overshadowed by the paleness of her face. It seemed as if there were no traces of blood in it. Because of dehydration, her lips looked incredibly dry. Her eyes looked empty and her expression was cold. She really looked lost, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
The woman slowly sat up from the bed and struggled to walk towards the French window. From there, she saw the man wearing a suit, who was walking towards the car while talking to someone over the phone.
She didn't knew who the man was talking to, but he seemed very happy, judging by the smile on his face.
The woman's face, on the other hand, were full of mixed emotions--sarcasm, ridicule, sadness, and despair.
"Huh!" She should be the one who was shouting angrily, shutting the door closed and leaving away, but she got locked right here.
When she bit her lip, Molly Su recalled what had happened a few days ago.
Even with all the time that had passed, she still trembled with anger when she remembered it.
It was the twentieth of May, her wedding anniversary with Kevin Tang. Molly Su had been looking forward to that date for a long time, but it seemed that her husband had forgotten about their anniversary. He just went to work, and acted as if it wasn't a special day.
Molly Su felt disappointed, but she reminded herself that it was a good thing that her husband was working hard. After all, they had a child now. They needed to work harder.
She stroked her belly, which nursed a five-month baby. Her whole body radiated a maternal brilliance. She drooped her head and smiled.
It was almost noon, and Kevin Tang hadn't come back yet. So Molly Su decided to go to the company to visit him. She wanted to surprise him so that he could relax for a bit, especially after working so hard.
As soon as she entered the hall, she felt something strange with the girl's look on the front desk. However, she didn't think too much about it and continued to walk ahead.
"Ms. Su, Mr. Tang is in a meeting. Do you mind waiting for a while?" the girl cautiously said to Molly Su.
"In a meeting?" She frowned. It was already time for lunch. Some people were already heading home from work. How could Kevin Tang still be in a meeting? However, she didn't bother to ask the girl about the meeting.
"I'll wait for him in his office," Molly Su said.
"Miss Su..." The receptionist tried to stop her, starting to get anxious.
However, Molly Su just walked straight to the elevator and pressed the button that directly lead to the floor Kevin Tang's office.
When the elevator opened, Kevin Tang's assistant greeted Molly and stopped her on her tracks. "I'm sorry, Ms. Su. Mr. Tang is very busy at the moment."
Everything seemed really unusual, making Molly feel very uneasy. So she ignored the assistant and pushed the office's door open.
At that moment, she almost dropped her jaw. She felt that all the blood in her body had stopped flowing. Her hands and feet felt cold and numb.
The man she loved was hugging and kissing another pregnant woman.
She could see that Kevin's body had become stiff the moment he saw her. But he immediately frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
Molly tried so hard to keep herself calm. She forced a smile and sarcastically asked, "Am I not allowed to come to your office?
Yeah, of course! I'm not welcome here." She finally erupted, failing to control her emotions anymore. Because of anger, her face looked really ferocious. "Only this woman can visit you? And I couldn't anymore?!" she shouted.
"I meant, what are you doing in my company?" Kevin took a step forward, pulled Molly, and said to her, "Pay attention to your image!"
"Pay attention to my image?" she retorted. Molly was amused. "Kevin, you're the one who should be paying attention to your image. You're bringing your mistress to your office!"
'Snap!' The slap sounded so crisp.
Molly touched her cheek. She couldn't believe that Kevin just slapped her. Her lips trembled and she couldn't even say a single word.
After a while, Molly laughed and staggered towards Kevin's mistress. But before Molly could touch her, Kevin came forward and blocked her way.
"Go home, Molly. We'll talk later, and I'll explain everything." He then shoved Molly's hands away.
"Explain what? Is that necessary?" Kevin stayed in between Molly and his mistress. Then Molly took a look at the woman's belly. "Your belly's bigger than mine. Your baby's about six months, isn't it? Does that mean I'm the mistress?"
That woman held Kevin's arms and trembled. She had tears in her eyes. For Kevin, his mistress looked really pitiful. But the sight of Kevin with another woman made Molly feel really sick. Molly looked at Kevin and said, "It seems that your relationship with this woman happened before us."
She turned her eyes to the door. Remembering how the receptionist and the assistant had acted, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Everyone knows it. Only I didn't. I feel like such a fool." In an instant, the woman rushed to Molly and pushed her to the ground.
Molly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Her blood flowed all over the ground.
