Broken Love, Broken Trust

I turned and walked towards the villa. Just as I was about to reach the front door of the villa, I heard a man and a woman laughing upstairs.

I was very familiar with the man's voice. It was Hector.

I gave up knocking on the door and slowly stepped back a few steps.

The balcony of the room on the second floor of the villa was made of glass, but there was a white gauze curtain hanging on the glass door.

The white curtain displayed the figures and postures of a man and a woman vividly.

The woman's hands were resting on the man's shoulder, and the man's hands were tightly grabbing the woman's waist.

I heard their indecent words clearly.

"Hector, you actually came?"

Hector stretched his neck and kissed the woman on the lips. "The lingerie you sent is so sexy. How am I supposed to resist..."

Then came the shy laughter of the woman.

"If your girlfriend knows..." She extended her finger and drew a circle in front of Hector's chest.

Hector chuckled and said, "She doesn't. Even if she does, what can she do? Her job depends on me, and without me, she is nothing.

"The only reason I'm still with her is because I have to maintain my reputation in showbiz."

Then Hector and the woman fell onto the bed together.

I didn't go forward to ring the doorbell.

As the lights in the room dimmed, there were a few muffled thunders in the sky.

I, who used to be most afraid of thunder, stood outside all night in the thunderstorm.

I tightly held Hector's phone in my hand, and suddenly, the screen lit up.

The title displayed on it was "The famous star Hector Stone celebrates birthday with his agent girlfriend! Expecting good news".

Several photos of me holding Hector's arm were attached.

But they didn't know that I wasn't the only female lead tonight. The woman upstairs was one, too.

The reason why I stayed here for a long time was because I wanted to see who Hector fell in love with.

The rain lasted all night.

When the door of the villa opened, I saw Hector holding the woman's hand and walking out.

She was a star, too, and she was from the same company as Hector.

Her name was Carly Skeldon. Originally, she was just a Z-list celebrity, but somehow she managed to replace the original second female lead in the drama that Hector was currently filming.

Hector didn't expect to see me here, and he was so frightened that he immediately let go of Carly's hand and ran to me.

He took off his coat and put it on me, pressing my shoulders and saying, "Why are you here? How long have you been here?"

"How long do you want me to be here?" I asked him in a cold tone.

"Don't get me wrong. Carly and I were just practicing our lines."

Hector explained to me, but his explanation was so pale that I didn't think anyone would believe him. I felt like I was a fool in his eyes.

I sneered, "Hector, what were you thinking during the thirty seconds when I closed my eyes yesterday?"

"Mia, don't get us wrong..." Carly also came forward to explain.

But I snapped and scared her a lot. She was stunned in place. Perhaps even Hector didn't expect to see me with such a bad-tempered side.

"Shut up! Hector, I'm asking you."

Hector let go of me and stuttered.

"Do you know what I was thinking during the thirty seconds I made wishes? I was wondering if the man I love the most would propose to me today. I'm sure there was no ring in that cake. Hector, have you ever thought about marrying me in the eight years we've been together?"

Hector held my hand and said, "You say you love me, but why don't you believe me?"

I forcefully pushed away his hand and threw his coat and phone on the ground, "Take them back. I find them filthy. Hector, let's break up. I will submit my resignation to the company."

After finishing speaking, I ran to the street and stopped a taxi to go back to the apartment where Hector and I lived.

Meanwhile, Carly grabbed Hector's arm anxiously and said, "What should we do? Will she expose our affair?"
