*After all, an eighteen–year–old girl is very young and appealing.”
A loud buzzing filled my head. I looked up at the man I had loved for over a decade, unable to believe my eyes.
I lost control completely. I grabbed anything within reach and hurled it at Gregory.
I threw things until I was completely exhausted. He didn’t even try to dodge.
“Feel better now?”
He looked exasperated and tried to come over to hug me.
I grabbed the last teacup and threw it at him.
“Get out!”
The cup shattered. A shard cut my hand, and blood began to drip.
Gregory’s expression hardened. He grabbed my hand and started treating the cut, his voice calm and unhurriest

Gregory chuckled softly and put a finger to my lips.
‘Shh. keep your voice down. There’s no need for such harsh words”
“You don’t want anything to happen to your mother, do you? She’s in the hospital. The last thing she needs is stress
“Sweetheart, if you don’t behave. I can’t guarantee that someone might “accidentally mention this to her
The man’s smile didn’t waver, but a cold sweat broke out on my back.
He was threatening me with my mother?
He was a nobody with nothing when I met him. The only one who agreed to me marrying him was my mother.
She was even the one who gave Gregory the seed money to start his first company.

I agreed without hesitation
Chapter 2
What was the point of holding onto the master bedroom when my husband and son weren’t really mine anymore?
Gregory seemed a little surprised. He probably didn’t expect me to agree so easily.
Back when I helped him build his company. I never let anyone take advantage of me, not even for a penny
Ignoring his stare, I turned to leave.
But Gregory blocked my way. His eyes were dark and unreadable.
“No need to rush. Since you’re being so generous, you can clean the room before you leave.”
Aubrey came over and linked her arm through mine, all friendly.
“Yeah, that would be great, Professor. I want the baby to be close to you. Maybe some of your luck will rub off on me
‘And make sure you get all the corners and edges really clean, okay, Professor?”
Her tone was sweet, but it was obvious she was treating me like a maid.
Gregory and my son didn’t react at all.
My hands clenched into fists. I turned my head and walked away.
