Chapter 2

The first thing she did was immediately tell the lawyer to prepare the divorce papers and file the divorce request.

The second thing she did was call the old Watson family house. “Hello, it’s me. Tell my Dad I agreed to the matter he talked about before. I’ll go back to the Watson family and become the next heir of the Watson family. But first, arrange a private assistant for me.”

The third thing she did was tell her private assistant once again to get many pinhole cameras for her.

When Dahlia came back home carrying many pinhole cameras, Caspian still had not returned.

She quickly placed cameras in every hidden corner of the villa, then linked them to her phone so she could watch the surveillance videos live on her phone.

She had barely finished everything when the villa door opened.

The moment Caspian came into the entrance area and spotted Dahlia on the sofa, he paused briefly. “Wife, why are you back?”

His voice remained like it had been during the past five years, bringing a little comfort.

Dahlia forced herself to hide the disgust, then turned to him with a smile. “Hmm. I couldn’t remain alone on the island. I missed you too much, so I came home. Husband, the person behind you is…”

Camilla walked forward and greeted her politely. “Sister Dahlia, it’s nice to meet you for the first time. I am Camilla Silva.”

Dahlia looked up and saw Camilla’s entire face, but she suddenly froze as thunder had struck her.

So alike, much too alike, they resembled each other too much.

At that moment, Dahlia realized Caspian had treated her as Camilla Silva’s substitute.

That hard time he spent chasing her before, the way he spoiled her that everyone in the city knew about, wasn’t love at all. It was only because Caspian liked her face, which looked eighty percent like Camilla’s.

“Wife, Camilla was adopted by me, so she’s like my little niece. She just came back from overseas and will stay here for a few days.”

Caspian walked over and kissed Dahlia on the forehead. The feelings in his eyes looked real. “I’ve been busy with work and don’t have much time to stay with you. Since Camilla is here, she can keep you company, and it may also help with your illness.”

The light perfume smell from a young woman still stayed on his clothes, making Dahlia feel sick.

She quietly turned her face away and pushed Caspian aside. “I’m tired, so I’ll head back to the room and rest first.”

After Dahlia went back to the room and cleaned herself up, she lay on the bed. Not long later, Caspian opened the door and walked in.

He lit the incense near the bed, quickly took off his clothes, wrapped his arms around her from behind, lowered his head, and pressed many kisses against her collarbone.

Dahlia’s whole body turned stiff.

Why? Didn’t he love her anymore?

And Camilla was staying in this house, so why did he still want her?

The hugs and softness that once made her rely on him now only made her feel trapped and uncomfortable.

She pushed him. “I’m really tired today.”

Caspian’s voice sounded rough. “It won’t take long. Bear with it a little longer, okay?”

Before she could answer, his hand slipped into her nightdress and slowly moved lower.

Right then, someone knocked on the door.

Camilla’s voice came from outside. “Uncle, are you sleeping yet?”

Caspian stopped.

But only a second later, his eyes became clear again, and he quickly stood up to open the door.

“Sorry for bothering you this late. There’s a bug in my room. Uncle, can you come help me check?”

Camilla’s eyes became a little red. “You know I’m always scared of bugs.”

Caspian nodded, then turned to Dahlia. “Wife, go to sleep first. I’ll be back later.”

After saying that, he turned and left, closing the door behind him.

The room became quiet again.

Dahlia had just let out a small breath of relief when she suddenly felt her body turning weak and dizzy again. Her eyelids became so heavy that she couldn’t keep them open.

Ever since she found out the truth, she hadn’t taken any medicine the whole day, so why was this happening?

She slowly looked around the room and noticed the incense still burning beside the bed.

There was something wrong with the incense!
