The first time Benjamin Renaldi cheated, he took a private photo of the girl with red eyes and told me I could do whatever I wanted. I loved him so much that I chose to forgive him, thinking it was just a careless mistake.
When he cheated for the second time, Benjamin shared their sex tape with the girl. Everyone in London saw it. Still, I thought he was the same Benjamin. So, I ignored my pride and stayed with him as if nothing had happened.”
But it wasn’t until the third time that he and Michelle Grey appeared in front of me. Each one of them was holding a child as both of them were kneeling on the ground. Then, everything finally broke.§
“Amelia, I’m sorry. The children can’t grow up without a mother. Michelle is innocent. If you want to be angry, yell, or hit someone, blame me. I’ll accept anything. Just please take care of the twins and let Michelle stay with us. I’ll agree to anything.”>
“You once said you were afraid of giving birth. Now we have twins already born. Don’t worry, Michelle won’t take your place. As long as you stay in the Renaldi Family, everyone will believe you are the children’s real mother. No one will talk badly. I’m begging you… “§ It felt like my heart was being torn out. I laughed while crying.
“Benjamin, when did you ever give me a chance to choose?“}
The Maybach drove away quickly. I made a phone call and said, “You were right. There’s no such thing as just one time. Cheating always Happens again. I lost. Come and take me away.”

The man on the phone laughed first, then cursed.§
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You and Benjamin have been together for eight years. If I get involved now, it’ll be like stepping into someone’s divorce. I’m not someone people just take because no one else wants them.“>
“Anyway, I’m very popular in London. Especially because I’m a rich single man. College girls line up from here to France for me. Divorced young women? Even stray dogs wouldn’t want them-”
Before he finished, I rolled my eyes and said, “So, do you want a divorced young woman or not?”
He paused, then quickly changed his tone.
“Well… if stray dogs don’t want you, I still do!“}
“If you ever get another chance like this, don’t forget me. I’ll show up the second you call!“}
After hanging up, I sent him the time to meet and get our marriage certificate. He replied right away with a cute cat emoji. Meanwhile, I looked up at the endless night. The pain inside me only grew deeper.
Rain had been falling all night. After a loud thunder, it began pouring harder, soaking me completely I walked five kilometers from the edge of the city and finally reached a small hotel to check in. After drying myself a little, my phone rang. It was Benjamin.
He sounded full of guilt.
“Amelia, I left in a hurry earlier. I was afraid Michelle might get sick from the stress. Luckily, the doctor said she‘ there in the rain? I’ll send a driver to pick you up.“}
“You’ve always been in poor health. If you catch a cold before the wedding, you might not look good in your dress-” “So you still remember there’s going to be a wedding?“}}
I interrupted him with a bitter tone.
Benjamin’s voice suddenly turned cold.”
okay. Are you still out
“What’s that supposed to mean? I told you, those kids were an accident. I didn’t know she’d get pregnant after just one time, especially since she got drugged. But the babies are here now. What do you expect me to do, throw them away?”
“You forgave me twice already. Why not this time? Can’t you look at those two innocent children and feel anything? What, you want them homeless? The wedding’s in a week. I don’t want to argue anymore. Just calm down“&

While looking at a message from Charles on my screen, I spoke coldly.
“No. I won’t marry you.”
“Benjamin, I’ve told you before. What I hate most in life is a cheating man.”
Just as I was about to hang up, Benjamin shouted, his voice filled with anger.
