Husband Left Me for a Hundred Million That Never Existed

“You actually won a hundred million?”

The one who rushed in was my best friend, Edith Meyers. When I had been chasing after Bryce, she was the one who helped me think of all sorts of plans.

But never had I imagined that now, right before my eyes, she would throw herself into Bryce’s arms.

And after hearing about the win, the very first person Bryce shared the news with was her.

Anyone could instantly see what kind of relationship they had.

At this time, Bryce didn’t even try to hide anything. With his arm wrapped affectionately around Edith’s shoulders, he said, “It’s true, Edith. From now on, I’ll look after you, alright?”

“Edith, I think it’s you who brought me this luck!”

“It must’ve been that kiss you gave me today, that’s why I won!”

“So, it’s only right that this prize money includes a share for you!”

My mind went blank.

The scratch card had been taken from me, yet the prize had nothing to do with me at all.

And she, just because she cheated with him and kissed him, got a part of it?

Watching that scene, I felt only disgust and sickness.

Thinking back to the first time I met him, he was feeding a stray cat. That simple kindness and innocence had drawn me in completely.

So after pursuing him for three years, I valued him even more deeply.

I recalled a few years ago, when the company’s business had been struggling, I’d even felt guilty for not being able to buy him a present with my year-end bonus.

Now I had finally succeeded; this year, the company awarded me a ten-million-dollar year-end bonus.

But who would have imagined that a fake scratch card would make me realize how absurd all my affection had been.

I took a deep breath. “We can divorce, but what about the baby I’m carrying?”

Tabitha froze for a second, as though she had just remembered that I was pregnant.

But soon she laughed coldly. “You’re always traveling for work and staying out for days. How do I even know that child belongs to my son?”

My eyes instinctively went to Bryce.

Growing even more furious, Tabitha pushed me hard. “What are you staring at?! No matter how much you look, a bastard will never be my son’s child!”

When he heard that, Bryce threw a few disgusted looks my way. “I don’t want this baby.”

Hearing him mention that, I actually felt a strange sense of relief.

Though it hurt to think of the child, knowing that after the divorce, I’d never have to deal with him again still made me smile.

While talking, he pulled out his phone and started booking an appointment for the procedure. “Even if it’s already three months, we’re getting rid of it!”

“I’m a billionaire now. Why should my kid have such a useless mother?”

Tabitha quickly chimed in. “Exactly! It should be aborted!”

“Now that we’re rich, we can have all the kids we want later!”

“If the divorce happens now and there’s no baby, Margaret will get even less money!”

Acting like I was furious, I said, “You cheated with Edith while we were married. Shouldn’t you be the one leaving with nothing?”

He lost it right away. “Margaret! How could you say that to me?!”

“It’s because you didn’t satisfy me in this marriage that I fell for Edith!”

“You’re the one who’s wrong, so you’re the one who should walk away with nothing!”

When she heard that, Edith softly wrapped her arms around his waist. “Bryce, that baby she’s carrying might not even belong to you. We don’t even know who the real cheater is here!”

“Did you forget? The month before Margaret said she was pregnant, you were with me every single night. How could you have had the strength to get her pregnant?”

Last month?

Suddenly, I remembered the night I had video-called Bryce; he’d been sweating and breathing hard.

He told me he was working out.

Now I finally understood what kind of ‘exercise’ he had really been doing.

That was when it hit me, my so-called best friend had been sleeping with my husband behind my back the whole time.
