He became the husband who cooked dinner every single night. When Susan suffered from severe stomach ulcers due to her stressful job, Michael spent hours researching, buying rare herbs, and cooking specialized therapeutic meals to ease her pain. He had given up his dreams, his ambition, and his status—all to be her supportive background husband.
And this was his reward. A DNA test proving he was a cuckold. "What a joke," Michael whispered to the empty room, tears burning in his eyes. "What an absolute joke." For two full days, Michael didn't leave the hotel room. He ordered room service, stared at the ceiling, and drafted the final divorce papers. On the night of the second day, the electronic lock on his room door suddenly beeped. The door was slammed open, banging loudly against the wall. Susan stood in the doorway, her coat draped over her shoulders, her eyes flashing with pure fury. "So this is where you've been hiding!" Susan snapped, striding into the room and slamming the door behind her. "You haven't been home for two days, Michael! You turned off your location! Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is for me to have to track down my own husband?!" Michael didn't move from his chair near the window. He looked up at her, his eyes cold and lifeless. "How did you find me?" "I own half the luxury hotels in this district, Michael, don't be this way, I need you more than ever and you know this," Susan sneered. She looked around the room, eyeing the half-eaten trays of room service and Michael. She let out a cruel, mocking laugh. "Look at us," she said, her voice dripping with disgust and disbelief. "Look how we are. Hiding out in a hotel room from your family is totally disgraceful , throwing a temper tantrum because you believe a fake document over our love. Are you done throwing your little blows?" Michael felt a spark of white-hot rage ignite in his chest. He stood up slowly, a cold, sarcastic smile spreading across his face. "Us?" Michael echoed, reaching over to the desk and grabbing a stack of printed papers. "Yeah, I guess I am pathetic, Susan. I was pathetic enough to spend five years loving a woman who played me for a fool." He walked over and shoved the stack of papers against her chest. "Sign them," Michael said flatly. "We're going to the family court tomorrow morning." Susan caught the papers, her eyes dropping to the title printed across the top page: MUTUAL DIVORCE AGREEMENT. She couldn’t catch her breath. The expression on her face vanished instantly, replaced by utter shock. "Divorce?" Susan gasped, looking from the paper back up to his eyes. "You're... you're actually serious about this? Michael, I came here to tell you to come home! I came here to let you apologize and put this crazy drama behind us!" "Apologize?" Michael scoffed, laughing bitterly. "Apologize for what, Susan? For finding out that one of my twins belongs to another man?!" "Stop saying that!" Susan yelled, her face flushing red with anger. "Why shouldn't I say it?!" Michael roared, stepping right up to her, his voice shaking the entire room. "Tell me, Susan! Did you enjoy it? Did you sit back and get a thrill out of watching me slave away in the kitchen, making you meals, taking care of the kids, while you sat there feeling smug about how easily you fooled the idiot doctor?!" "Shut up!" Susan screamed back, throwing her purse onto the bed. "I never cheated on you! Do you hear me?! I have NEVER been with another man! Both Leo and Maya are your biological children! Stop talking this utter nonsense!" "Stop lying!" Michael bellowed, slamming his fist onto the desk with a deafening CRACK. "I am a medical professional! I ran the DNA tests multiple times! The biology doesn't lie, Susan! Just give me the truth! Give me the damn truth for once in your life!" "THAT IS THE TRUTH!" Susan shrieked, her voice breaking as tears of pure rage filled her eyes. "I never betrayed you! I swore my vows to you, and I kept them! I don't care what some stupid piece of paper says, I have NEVER slept with anyone else!" "You're unbelievable," Michael whispered, shaking his head in absolute disgust. "Even when you're caught, you just double down on the lies." He pointed at the documents in her trembling hands. "Look at the papers, Susan. Just sign them so we can end this nightmare." Susan glared at him, her chest heaving as she flipped through the pages of the divorce agreement. But as her eyes reached the financial settlement section on page three, she froze. Her jaw dropped, and her head snapped back up to stare at him. "One billion?" Susan shouted, her voice rising in disbelief. "You're asking for a one billion dollar settlement?!"Latest Chapter

"Boss!" the enforcer gasped, clutching his swollen cheek as he scrambled off the floor. "What are you talking about? He’s just some broke doctor!""Shut your useless mouth!" the fat gang leader roared, his deep voice shaking the cold walls of the bunker. He turned back to Michael, his eyes wide with a mix of shock and pure terror. "You idiots brought him here?!"Michael slowly raised his head, his swollen eye straining to focus on the large man standing over him.Just a few days ago, outside Leo’s school, four heavily armed thugs from this very same syndicate had tried to cause trouble during dismissal time. Michael had quietly stepped between them and the frightened children. In less than thirty seconds, using devastating, lightning-fast combat strikes, Michael had laid all four men flat on the concrete before any guards could even react. "Cut those ropes right now!" the boss screamed, pointing a trembling finger at his men. "Cut them off before I break every single one of your legs

Michael woke up early, his mind heavy with the weight of everything that had happened. He got dressed in his medical scrubs, ready to head to Central Hospital. As he stepped out of his bedroom into the quiet hallway, the scent of fresh coffee and fried eggs hit his nose. Standing in the kitchen was Juliana. She turned around slowly, holding a plate with a freshly cooked omelette and a hot mug of coffee. Her eyes were low, filled with regret. "Michael," she said softly, her voice hesitant. "You're up." "Juliana? What's all this?" Michael asked, pausing at the entrance of the kitchen. "I... I couldn't sleep all night," she admitted, setting the plate down on the table. "I felt sick to my stomach thinking about how I acted last night. You came here looking for peace, and I threw myself at you like that. I am so, so sorry, Michael. Please forgive me." Michael looked at the breakfast, then looked at her sincere expression. The tension that had hovered over the apartment since last nigh

The high-polished marble floors of the Sterling Group corporate headquarters echoed with the sharp, furious rhythm of Susan’s heels. She moved through the executive floor like a storm, slamming doors aside and ignoring the startled looks of senior managers.She didn't stop until she reached the corner office of the Chairman of the Board. She pushed the heavy double doors open without knocking."What is the meaning of this?" Susan demanded, her voice cutting through the quiet office. "What do you mean the anonymous investor withdrew his shares?"The Chairman, a silver-haired man in a dark suit, looked up from his desk. His expression was pale, his eyes wide with genuine panic. He didn't even reprimand her for barging in."It’s true, Susan," the Chairman said, his voice trembling slightly. "His chief financial officer was here less than an hour ago. He executed a full, immediate withdrawal of all equity under strict, non-negotiable directives.""Why?" Susan yelled, slamming her palm ont

Michael unlocked the door to his rented apartment and stepped inside, dropping his keys onto the console table. Every bone in his body ached. The long hours at the hospital and then the drama at the school, coupled with the crushing weight of everything falling apart, had completely drained him.Yet, as tired as he was, he couldn't just collapse onto his bed. He had responsibilities here, strange as they were.When he had taken this place, the lease agreement contained three of the most absurd requirements he had ever read: Requirement one: The tenant must be a doctor working at the central hospital. Requirement two: The tenant's name must be Michael. Requirement three: Instead of high rent, the tenant must agree to cook three meals a day for the landlord whenever she is home.At the time, desperate for a clean break and a place away from the Sterling estate, he hadn't questioned it. But tonight, standing in the quiet living room, the sheer oddity of those rules pressed against his mi

Michael looked at Susan, his eyes flat and devoid of any warmth. The chaos in the room, the groaning men on the floor, and the loud demands from the fat man seemed to fade into background noise."Michael!" Susan snapped, her voice piercing the air. "I asked you a question! What on earth did you mean by 'my wife's boyfriend'? Explain yourself right now!"Michael didn't answer. He didn't blink, raise his voice, or offer a single word of justification. He simply turned on his heel, stepped over a fallen chair, and walked straight out the door."Michael! Don't you dare walk away from me!" Susan screamed, her heels clicking rapidly against the floor as she rushed out into the hallway to chase him down. "Stop right there!"She caught up to him near the main entrance gates, grabbing his sleeve with tight, trembling fingers."Are you insane?!" Susan yelled, her face flushed red with anger. "You come here, make a massive mess, insult me, and then just walk away?! If you leave right now, I swea

The entire office went dead silent.Mrs. Gable gasped softly behind her desk, holding her breath in utter disbelief. Even the fat man grinned wildly, thoroughly enjoying the pathetic domestic drama unfolding right before his eyes.Michael stood completely still. He looked at Susan, his dark eyes staring directly into hers, searching for even a single trace of humanity, respect, or love.There was none. Only cold demand and arrogant authority.A sudden, deep laugh bubbled up from Michael's chest—a cold, sarcastic and tragic laugh that made everyone in the room feel an uncomfortable chill down their spines."You want me to kneel?" Michael asked, his voice dropping into a deadly, quiet whisper."Yes!" Susan demanded sharply, stepping toward him with her arms crossed. "Stop acting so stubborn! You caused this whole mess with your useless pride! If you had just handled things quietly from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation! It's just an apology—kneel down, take responsibility,
