Chapter 5

Aside from helping Aidan find new distributors for the factory's goods, Sasha had begun passing her workload onto Heidi.

Leaving was a decision she made after she had the abortion and left the hospital.

For seven years, she had sacrificed too much and endured too much hurt in the name of love for Aidan.

Aidan thought she was invincible. Little did he know, behind the flirtations with clients and socializing at the negotiation table, she was swallowing handfuls of sleeping pills and frantically washing her body with cold water.

She had used these seven years to repay the favor Aidan did for her back at the club.

After the fifth time she rejected Aidan's invitation to meet with new clients, Aidan finally realized something was wrong and showed up at her house.

At that moment, she was packing her things.

When she saw Aidan, she didn't approach him and hug him like she always had.

Aidan had been single back then. Even though she knew he didn't love her, as long as he was still infatuated with her body, she would present herself in various seductive poses for him.

At least, that was a form of love.

But now that Aidan had found his first love, it was time for her and him to sever all ties.

But when Aidan showed up at her door, he seemed frustrated.

Ever since he had scolded Sasha in front of everyone for Natalie, Sasha had become a completely different person.

Aidan felt like he hadn't done anything wrong.

Natalie was the woman he had loved for ten years. She was pure-hearted and from a good family background. Natalie clearly instigated the confrontation with Sasha that day.

Aidan had scolded her in front of everyone just to set her straight and remind her of her place.

After all, no matter how many times he and Sasha had slept together, Natalie would always be his future wife.

But since that day, things had changed.

No one had bought him breakfast, and no one had ordered his lunch. Even at the dinner table, no one would drink on his behalf anymore.

Aidan really couldn't get used to it.

Especially now, he had to humble himself to try to coax Sasha. But Sasha was solely focused on packing her things.

Trying to change the subject, Aidan casually loosened his tie and moved closer to her with a smirk.

"Come on. Let me kiss you. I haven't been intimate with you in ages. I've been hanging out with Natalie all day, watching movies and going shopping. I've been going crazy!"

He grabbed Sasha's chin, about to kiss her.

In the past, without Natalie in the picture, Sasha would have eagerly met his lips. But now, she just coldly turned to the side.

"Aidan, so you can respect Natalie and not touch her for three months of dating, but I'm just so cheap that you think you can have me whenever you want?"

Aidan's kiss fell into thin air, but he wasn't angry.

He stood up, began unbuttoning his shirt, and casually said, "How could you compare to Natalie? She's from a respectable family. Her parents are teachers. Sure, she's a little spoiled, but which young lady isn't?

"Unlike you, the first time we did it, you were already experienced. Since we've gone through it, why stop now?"

Sasha felt like her heart had been pierced a thousand times.

Of course, how could she compare to Natalie?

Since she and Aidan had gotten together, he had never given her any respect.

For years, whenever he wanted her, he would force himself on her, even in the car or with the driver present.

Even in the office, he would make his move if no one was around.

Sasha suppressed the pain in her heart and looked at him seriously for the first time. "That was my first time, Aidan."

To her surprise, Aidan burst out laughing.

"Well, it really did feel like your first time. By the way, where did you get it fixed? You should go for a few more sessions. I'll cover the cost for you."

As Sasha looked at the sneer on Aidan's face, she couldn't help but show her own mocking smile. "I don't need your reimbursement. After all, you won't be the one to enjoy it anymore."
