CHAPTER 1
Sabrina Scott walked out of prison before dusk fell.She had been temporarily bailed out of jail for one day.Holding a slip of paper with an address on it in her hand, she took a bus at the gate of the prison. She arrived at an old mansion halfway up the mountain when it was almost nightfall. The doorman then led Sabrina into a bedroom.The bedroom was pitch black, and she smelled thick, pungent blood as soon as she entered.Before she had adapted herself to the darkness in the room, a pair of strong arms grabbed her and she fell into a man’s embrace.A hot breath blew by her ear. “So, you are what they sent for me to enjoy before my death, the… call girl?”‘Call... girl?’Sabrina’s tears came rolling down her eyes.She suddenly felt frightened, and her voice trembled. “Are you… dying soon?”“Yes! Do you regret doing my business?” The man sneered faintly.“I don’t regret it,” Sabrina said miserably.She had no room for regret because her mother was waiting to be saved by her.Although she could not see the man’s face in the darkness, she could feel the man did not seem like somebody who is dying.A couple of hours later, the man finally fell asleep.‘Is he dead already?’Sabrina had no time to be in fear, and she quickly fled the mansion.At that time, the night sky began to rain heavily. She ran in the rain to the Lynn Residence.It was eleven o’clock at night and the door to the Lynn Residence was locked. However, Sabrina could hear the joyful noise in the house as if there was something worth celebrating.“Open the door! Quickly, open the door and give me the money. I need to go save my mother… Open the door! Open the door!”The door was still locked.She was muddle-headed and was a little unsteady on her feet at this point because she had waited for the bus in the rain for a long time before she had to run to Lynn Residence. However, she had to brace herself up and kept banging hard on the door of Lynn Residence. “Open the door! Open the door! Quickly give me the money, I need to go save my mother…”‘Bang!’ The door was pushed open from inside, and Sabrina’s despaired gaze suddenly sparkled.The person behind the door looked at Sabrina with contempt and disgust.Sabrina knew that she looked worse than a beggar now.However, she could not care for her image now. She rushed up and looked at the person with a pleading look in her eyes. “I have done what you asked me to do, quickly give me the money, my mother’s life cannot wait any longer, please…”“Your mother is dead, so you no longer need the money.” The person who opened the door threw a black-framed picture into the rain, then mercilessly closed the door.“What?” Sabrina was stupefied as she stood motionless in the heavy rain.Long long afterward, she let out a harsh cry, “Mother…”“Mother…I was late, wasn’t I? I missed the timing to save you, didn’t I? My mother is dead…My mother is dead…” Sabrina hugged her mother’s coffin portrait, curled up in the rain, and muttered to herself.She then crawled up and started to bang on the door like a crazy person. “Liar! I’ve done what I’ve promised you, but you didn’t save my mother, return my mother to me! Liar! Your whole family will die horribly… Liar! Liar! Liar! I curse that your whole family will have a terrible death!”Sabrina fainted for crying too much outside the door of the Lynn Residence.When she woke up, three days had passed, and she was in prison again.She was sent to the medical care area when she was in a coma because she had a high fever. Her fever came down after three days, and she was returned to the original imprisonment area.A few female inmates came and surrounded her.“I thought she was released and freed after being bailed out, but she was sent back in again just after three days?”“I heard she was lent out to be toyed with for a night.”The well-built female gang leader pulled Sabrina’s hair and let out a burst of sinister laughter. “What a good life this woman had! Watch me beat her to death today!”Sabrina did not even bat an eyelid.Let them beat her to death. If she were beaten to death, it would be perfect for her to reunite with her mother.As the women started to strip Sabrina’s clothing, a stern voice came from the door. “What are you doing?”The female gang leader instantly put on a fake smile. “Sabrina was sick. We were just concern for her.”The correctional officer did not answer but shouted Sabrina’s prison code. “036, come out!”Sabrina walked out and asked indifferently, “What did I do wrong now?”“You have been acquitted.” The correctional officer said blankly.“What?” Sabrina thought she hallucinated. It was until when she was out of the prison door that she realized it was real.She cried tears of joy and murmured, “Mother! I couldn’t save you, but could you forgive me? I will see you now. Where are you buried…?”“Are you Miss Scott?” a man’s voice came coldly, and then a man in a suit stood before Sabrina. Right behind the man, there was a black car stopped. Sabrina could vaguely see a man with shades was watching her from the car.She nodded. “Yes, that’s me. You…”The man did not answer but turned around and spoke politely to the man in shades seated in the car. “Young Master Sebastian, it’s her.”“Bring her over!” The man in shades ordered.Sabrina, who was still confused, was pushed into the car and sat next to the man in shades. She immediately felt a cold murderous aura coming from him.Sabrina felt her life was in his hands.“I am Sebastian Ford.” The man introduced himself coldly.Sabrina could not help but shivered and asked gently, “I have not been acquitted…but I am going to receive my death sentence, right?”“I’m taking you to get a marriage certificate!” Sebastian was reluctant to even look at her once more.Sabrina suddenly thought his voice was familiar. It sounded like the man that died that night.However, the man had died.“What did you say?” She thought she had heard it wrong.

His Ex-wife Betrayal CHAPTER 7
The morning of the final hearing finally arrived. Damien had barely slept, running through every possible scenario until his mind blanked out.Emma had spent the night at Mrs. Patterson's house. Damien couldn't risk her overhearing anything before the hearing. He'd picked out her favorite outfit and left it with a note: "See you tonight, princess. Love, Daddy."Richard Jeff met Damien outside the courthouse at eight-thirty. He wore a charcoal suit that probably cost more than Damien's monthly salary."How are you feeling?" Richard asked."Terrified.""Good." Richard adjusted his tie. "Remember, let me do the talking. If Judge Morrison asks you a direct question, answer honestly but briefly. Don't volunteer extra information."They entered the courthouse together. Lisa was already there with her attorney Patricia and Judge Harrison. Derek stood slightly apart, looking uncomfortable in a suit that seemed too tight across the shoulders.Damien noticed Derek's wife wasn't present. Accordi

His Ex-wife Betrayal CHAPTER 6
The police officer taking Damien's statement looked skeptical. "So you think your estranged wife tried to break into your daughter's school to access files?""I don't know who did it. I'm just saying the timing is suspicious. We have a custody hearing in four days.""Schools have hundreds of students, Mr. Webb. This could be completely unrelated."Damien knew how it sounded. Paranoid and desperate. But Catherine had warned him that Lisa was getting unpredictable.The officer closed his notebook. "We'll investigate, but without evidence connecting this to your situation, there's not much we can do. The school's security system scared off whoever it was before they got inside."After the officer left, Damien sat in the dark living room, listening to Emma's soft breathing from her bedroom. He checked every window lock twice, tested the door chain three times. Sleep was impossible.At six AM, Catherine called. "Did you hear about the school?""I was there when it happened.""Jennifer Reev

His Ex-wife Betrayal CHAPTER 5
Damien called in sick to work on Friday and spent two days transforming the apartment. He scrubbed every surface until his hands were raw, organized closets, he repaired the loose cabinet hinge he'd been ignoring for months. Emma's room received special attention, toys neatly arranged, and her artwork displayed on the walls.Catherine's checklist was exhaustive. Clean refrigerator with healthy food options. Childproofed outlets. Current smoke detector batteries. Age-appropriate books visible. No alcohol in reach. It felt less like preparing for an inspection and more like staging a life he wished he had.Thursday night, Emma helped him bake cookies for the social worker."Why is someone coming to look at our house?" she asked, carefully placing chocolate chips into the dough."They want to make sure you have a nice place to live.""But I already live here. That's silly."Damien smiled despite his anxiety. "Very silly.""Is this because of Mommy and Uncle Derek?"The directness of the

His Ex-wife Betrayal CHAPTER 4
Judge Morrison's courtroom felt smaller than Damien expected. Every sound echoed, his breathing, the shuffle of papers, Lisa's quiet sob that he knew was performative.Lisa's attorney spoke first, a sharp-featured woman named Patricia Valdez who worked for one of the city's most prestigious firms. Damien recognized the power play immediately. This wasn't just about custody. This was about demonstrating Lisa's superior resources."Your Honor, my client fears for her daughter's safety," Patricia began, her voice measured and sympathetic. "Yesterday, Mr. Webb violently assaulted her partner, Mr. Derek Campbell, breaking his nose in an unprovoked attack."Catherine stood. "Objection. Mr. Campbell is not a party to this marriage and his relationship with Mrs. Webb is the reason for the divorce proceedings.""Sustained. Keep to relevant facts, Ms. Valdez."Patricia didn't miss a beat. "The relevant fact is that Mr. Webb has demonstrated violent tendencies. He works excessive hours, leaving

Morning arrived too quickly. Damien got Emma ready for school, dropped her off, then headed to Riverside Park. He arrived early, parking near the main entrance and scanning the area.The park was quiet on a Wednesday morning. A few joggers passed by, and an elderly man fed ducks by the pond. Damien walked to the agreed meeting spot, a bench overlooking the water.At exactly noon, a man approached. Tall, well-dressed in what looked like designer clothes in his confident stride.."Damien Webb?" The man extended his hand.Damien ignored it. "What do you want?"Derek lowered his hand, seemingly unbothered. "To clear the air. Lisa told me you're making this difficult.""I'm making this difficult?" Damien's voice rose. "You've been sleeping with my wife and you think I'm the problem?""Keep your voice down." Derek glanced around. "Look, I understand you're upset. But there's no need for this to get messy.""It's already messy. You made sure of that."Derek sighed like Damien was being unrea

His Ex-wife Betrayal CHAPTER 2
Damien couldn't sleep that night. He sat on the couch until dawn, staring at nothing. At six, Emma's alarm chimed. Damien forced himself up and started making breakfast. He made Emma's favorite, pancakes. Emma appeared in the doorway, rubbing her eyes. "Is Mommy home yet?""Not yet, princess. She'll be at the hospital a bit longer." Damien flipped a pancake. "But I'm here."They ate together, Emma chattering about an upcoming field trip while Damien nodded at the appropriate moments. His phone kept buzzing with messages from Lisa. He ignored every one.After dropping Emma at school, Damien sat in his car outside the building. He should deal with this like an adult. So he drove back to the hospital.Lisa was sitting up in bed, scrolling through her phone when he entered. She looked up, her expression turning to relief."Finally. I've been trying to reach you all night.""I was with Emma." Damien remained by the door. "She told me about Derek."Lisa's face paled. "Damien, please. Let
