Chapter 5

If I remember correctly, her name is Lolly Gomez, a female artist newly signed by Gerald three months ago. Because Lolly and I look 50% alike.

Gerald decided to sign her the first time he saw her and spent a huge amount of money to promote her and even let the marketing account hype her as "Little Lolly". Everyone said that Gerald strongly promoted Lolly and he was like a friend, in order to make me successful.

But when I opened Instagram, I saw Lolly's pinned post at a glance.

It was just posted today, the final photo of shooting Love Ends Late.

The post caption read: [Thanks to my boyfriend, he loves me so much, I will treat him well tonight]

Among the many likes and comments.

I saw Gerald's reply at a glance: [Of course I love you the most.]

I suddenly remembered asking Gerald once-"There are so many beautiful female artists in your company, will you fall in love with someone else one day?"

He smiled and pressed me into his arms, "Silly, what does it have to do with me if they are beautiful? I only have eyes for you."

My heart was like honey at that time. But now it was pierced by ice chips. It turned out that my good husband who had slept with me for six years had a good acting skill that I didn't even notice.

After hesitating for two hours, I decisively called my aunt who was far away abroad.

"Aunt Mary, I'm going abroad. Please help me change my identity so that no one can find me."

Aunt Mary readily agreed, but was a little surprised, "Good niece, isn't your acting career booming in America? And you're going abroad. Can your husband who loves you so much be willing to let you leave?"

I smiled. "He doesn't know."

I wouldn’t let him know anything about me again.

I checked and handled the identity cancellation procedures overnight, booked a flight to go abroad and contacted a lawyer friend to get a divorce agreement.

I was busy all night and I just closed my eyes at dawn and Gerald came back.

"Lucy?" Gerald's clothes were very neat and he sprayed freshener on his body and there was no trace of alcohol.

"My dear, are you still awake? I bought you breakfast, your favorite crab roe soup dumplings. I was busy at the company until the early morning last night. I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I stayed at the company all night..."

Seeing that I was still sleeping, he took off his clothes and shoes and lay down gently beside me.

"Little lazy cat, you haven't slept enough, so I'll continue to sleep with Lucy."

I pretended to be woken up and pushed him away in annoyance, turned over.

Gerald's low laugh came. "My Lucy, even when she is asleep and angry, she is so beautiful."

I had my back to him and had already opened my eyes and saw the fine and dense red marks on his neck. Noticing my shoulders shaking, Gerald realized that something was wrong and ran to me to find me crying.

He was scared and a trace of panic flashed across his eyes. "Lucy, why are you crying?"

"I had a nightmare."

Gerald breathed a sigh of relief and patiently helped me wipe my tears, "I was scared to death, it was just a dream."

I looked up at him, "I dreamed that you cheated and had a family with another woman, Gerald, will you lie to me?"

Gerald's face changed slightly, but he still looked pious and raised his hand to swear. "I will never lie to Lucy and I will always love Lucy, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

I smiled, "Okay."

I lied that I was going to attend a three-day training course. Gerald insisted on sending me to the airport and I didn't refuse.

But just as he was about to get in the car, his phone suddenly rang. I glanced at it and saw a photo of a woman’s legs in black stockings, her hands tied with ropes and her movements were lustful and enchanting.

"Gerald, I changed into a new maid outfit today. Do you want to come and see it?"

Gerald's Adam's apple rolled and he looked at me with embarrassment.

"Lucy, there is something urgent at the company. Can I ask the driver to take you there? After you finish the training, I will definitely pick you up in person and take you to your favorite restaurant."

I looked up at him and a trace of panic flashed in Gerald's eyes. Then it quickly turned into a sincere look.

I smiled, "It's okay, go ahead."

Looking at his hurriedly leaving figure, I told myself in my heart: Gerald. I will never love you again.

Not long after Gerald left, Lolly sent a video.

In the video, Gerald took off his clothes impatiently and hugged her slender waist passionately.

"Lucy, did you see it clearly? This is the real Gerald Johansson. He keeps saying that he only loves you, but his body is very honest... Men are fickle. He is very fascinated by my body now. He loves to see me in a maid outfit. Every time he coaxes you, he will come to do it with me..."

I didn't finish watching it. I just sneered and forwarded all these videos to Gerald's company group and Instagram.

Then I left the signed divorce agreement and broke the SIM card.

I went to the airport without looking back with my suitcase...
