Immersed In Love with You

From his words, I learned more and more about Kate.

She had come to the city on her own through hard work, from a poor family, with a younger brother.

If it weren’t for her relentless determination to study, she would have already been sent by her father to work in a factory.

At first, I didn’t realize there was any problem, until the day she came to deliver a document to Bernard.

I heard the doorbell ring, went downstairs and opened the door. A young, delicate face appeared before me.

"You're Mrs. Yvon, right? I’m here to deliver some documents to Mr. Yvon."

"He just went out. If you hurry, you might still catch up with him."

Her eyes were full of curiosity as she smiled and said, "You’re so beautiful. No wonder Mr. Yvon loves you so much. It's truly enviable."

There was something off about her words and I couldn’t help but furrow my brow.

She continued nonchalantly, "May I have your number? Next time I deliver documents, I’ll check with you first."

That’s when things started to change. Soon, Kate’s message popped up:

[Yesterday was your anniversary, right? But he spent it with me!]

Then came a photo of a trash can overflowing with used condoms.

[How about it? Does he have endless passion for you like this?]

Ever since she had my number, under the bombardment of her messages, I found out.

The Ferris wheel where we once shared a passionate kiss at the top. He bought it and gave it to Kate.

The jewelry I thought was unique to me, Kate had identical pieces.

All the love I thought was exclusive, all the attention I believed was mine, had been shared with another woman.

Seeing me lost in thought, Bernard’s gaze was full of concern.

"Honey, what are you thinking about?"

The concern in his eyes seemed genuine.

I didn’t answer. Instead, I asked curiously, "Do you remember what I said when you proposed to me? If you betray me, I will..."

Before I could finish, he quickly interrupted, "Why bring this up suddenly? Even if every man in the world cheats, I wouldn't!"

I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Suddenly, Bernard’s phone rang with its unique ringtone. A faint, sweet voice could be heard on the other end.

His face immediately turned anxious. "There's an urgent matter at the company. I’ll be back later to keep you company."

Watching him rush off, my heart sank. I followed him and got into a taxi, saying, "Follow the car ahead, the one with the Lamborghini Urus."

***

The taxi stopped at the hidden entrance of a luxurious hotel.

People in the circle were aware—it was a secret place in Argania where the wealthy kept their mistresses.

As the Lamborghini Urus door opened, a girl dressed in a revealing nurse's outfit rushed over eagerly.

"Darling, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for so long!"

The two of them kissed passionately, as if they were dry wood meeting fire.

With a look of desire on his face, Bernard teased, "Baby, I’m not feeling well today."

Kate responded with a red face. "Then let this nurse take a look today to see what's wrong with you!"

The man gasped for air instantly and let her get into the car by hooking her tie.

After a while, the car body shook violently.

I watched all this in a self-torturing manner not far away and my heart was broken.

Bernard has always been restrained in that aspect and insisted on keeping our first time until the wedding night.

Now I understand that he was not restrained, but just left his passion to others.

When the driver handed me the tissue, I realized that I was already in tears.

"Miss, men are all like this. I've seen this kind of thing a lot. Try to let it go."
