2025-02-04 22:51:24"Oh, Chris, how can I ever thank you enough. You’re so sweet," Isabelle giggled, twirling a strand of her hair between her fingers.
Arthur stood frozen, watching as his wife exchanged flirtatious words with another man right in front of him. "I can't believe you went out of your way just for me," Isabelle cooed. "You always know how to make me feel special. My birthday is already unforgettable because of you." On the other end, Chris chuckled, his deep voice smooth and confident. "Isabelle, you deserve nothing but the best. And trust me, tomorrow will be even more special. Aside from the arrangements I've made for a grand celebration, I can’t wait to see you shine in the dress I picked out for you." Isabelle's eyes widened with delight. "You also bought me a dress?" Chris replied, "Yes, I had it delivered to you already. It should be arriving any moment now. I want you to wear it for your party so that everyone would see how stunning my queen is." Isabelle placed a hand over her chest, feigning an exaggerated gasp. "Thanks so much, love," she replied. Arthur felt his stomach churn. For four years, he had worked himself to the bone to provide for Isabelle, yet she had never once spoken to him like this. Never had she looked at him with admiration, excitement, or warmth. Their marriage was nothing more than a cold arrangement—a twisted joke where he played the role of a servant rather than a husband. And as if that wasn't enough, Isabelle exchanged flirtatious words with another man right in front of him! Before the call ended, the doorbell rang. Isabelle's eyes sparkled as she rushed to the door excitedly. When she swung the door open, a delivery man stood there, holding a sleek black parcel in his hands. "Delivery for Miss Isabelle Lewis," the man announced. Isabelle eagerly snatched the parcel from him, barely acknowledging his presence. She tore it open in haste, revealing a breathtaking gown that shimmered under the soft lighting of the room. Almost immediately, Arthur caught a glimpse of the price tag before Isabelle did. $100,000. His heart clenched. Isabelle gasped audibly, holding her breath as she took in the sight before her. "Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed. Beside her, Harriet’s eyes widened in disbelief. "A hundred thousand dollars? Just for a dress?" "This is so beautiful!" Isabelle squealed, pressing the dress against her body, already imagining how she would look in it. Harriet placed a hand on her chest, shaking her head in amazement. "This is what it means to have a real man who knows your worth! Not some useless excuse of a husband who can’t even buy you a ten-dollar dress." At this, Isabelle turned to Arthur with a mocking smile. "Look at you," she sneered. "Shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself now? You bought me some cheap rag, and you expected me to wear it? Harriet let out a scornful laugh. "Imagine thinking that a worthless orphan like you is married to my daughter! Isabelle, thank God Chris came into your life before you wasted any more time on this failure." Arthur stood there, silent, his chest tightening. The name Chris Williams was no stranger to him. He had heard of Chris's influence, his wealth, his power. But never had he imagined that his wife—the woman he had vowed to love and cherish—was in a secret relationship with him. And the worst part? She had no shame in flaunting it right before his eyes. For six months, Isabelle and Chris had been in a relationship. Even though Chris knew Isabelle was married, he wasn’t concerned—after all, he was the one who had recently taken her virginity. He knew she had no real relationship with Arthur. In fact, Arthur was nothing more than a houseboy, merely occupying space until Chris and Isabelle could be together. Arthur clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. For four years, Isabelle had never once told him she loved him. She had never even let him touch her, never treated him like a husband. Their marriage had been nothing but an empty shell. And now, it was clear that being together just wasn’t worth it.

The once-confident saleswoman stood frozen with her eyes wide in utter disbelief. Before she could even process what was happening, one of the guards grabbed her employee badge and yanked it off her uniform. Another pulled the keys to the store from her trembling hands. Her lips parted in shock and her knees buckled. She had been mocking the wrong person! Arthur wasn't some worthless scumbag. He was someone powerful! "Wait, sir—please!" She dropped to her knees, crawling toward Arthur with tears streaming down her face. Arthur merely looked down at her with cold indifference. "Forgive me!" she sobbed, grabbing onto the hem of his trousers. "I didn’t know who you were! Please, sir, I have children at home—I can't lose my job! My husband is irresponsible, and I am the only one who provides for my kids! They will starve!" Arthur didn’t flinch. He did not even acknowledge her. The security guards grabbed her arms and hauled her up. She kicked and screamed, but it

Karen was a powerful, influential figure in Dalton City. A woman of her status had no business lowering herself to a man like Arthur. It was absolutely unthinkable! Upon hearing that Arthur had been sharing Karen's bed, a flicker of jealousy sparked in Isabelle’s eyes, but she quickly masked it with a sneer, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "Pathetic! Karen Darwin must be completely out of her mind to sleep with a lowlife like you. What a loser! I guess even powerful women can be blind—and utterly useless!" she scoffed. Chris, standing beside her, let out a disgusted scoff. "You know, I always thought Karen had some class, but I see now that she’s just as stupid as him," He shook his head, laughing bitterly. "All these years, I actually respected her. But she’s nothing more than a scumbag—just like him." Arthur remained unfazed. He didn’t even look in their direction. Instead, he walked straight to the counter. As Arthur placed a few selected items on the counter,

Almost immediately, Chris and Isabelle caught sight of the policemen. "Officers, that's the man!" Isabelle pointed directly at Arthur. "Yes, that's him!" Chris added. "He's a criminal!" "This man isn't just a robber but also a kidnapper. Just last month, he duped my family of $100 million," Isabelle explained. Chris nodded aggressively. "She's right! You need to arrest him immediately before he disappears again." Arthur's eyes widened in disbelief. "This is ridiculous! None of what they are saying is true!" The officer turned to Isabelle and Chris. "Are you certain about these accusations? False claims can lead to severe consequences." All three of them, including Julie, nodded confidently. "We're more than sure." "I swear he's guilty. Conduct a proper investigation, and the truth will be undeniable. The fact that he’s shopping here is proof enough—he stole from my family!" Chris folded his arms with his voice laced with certainty. "She's absolutely right, off

The luxury of Regal Plaza, the most prestigious shopping mall in Dalton City, was unmatched! The mall was a haven for the city’s elite, a place where only the wealthy dared to shop. Each store displayed designer items with price tags that could rival a middle-class salary, and exclusivity was the rule of the game. For Chris, bringing Isabelle here was a statement—one that showcased his wealth and status. With their wedding just a week away, he wanted to remind Isabelle why she had chosen him. He was the perfect provider, capable of fulfilling her every material desire! Isabelle, draped in an elegant dress, walked arm in arm with Chris while her best friend, Julie, tagged along. The two women strolled through the high-end boutiques, selecting gowns and shoes for Isabelle’s upcoming bridal shower. As they browsed, Julie suddenly paused, her eyes narrowing. She nudged Isabelle. "Isabelle, look over there," she whispered. Isabelle turned, her gaze following Julie’s

The men guided Arthur into the backseat of a sleek Rolls-Royce Phantom. The car glided smoothly down the highway, leaving the chaotic streets of Dalton City behind. Within minutes, they reached the outskirts of Dalton City, passing lush green landscapes and gated communities. Soon, the vehicle took a private road that led into a gigantic estate. Arthur’s breath hitched as the massive wrought-iron gates swung open effortlessly. The driveway stretched for miles, flanked by immaculate gardens, marble fountains, and golden streetlights that shimmered like stars. Then, as they approached the mansion, Arthur’s eyes widened in disbelief. It was a masterpiece of architectural brilliance! The exquisite white marble façade gleamed under the evening lights, adorned with gold-trimmed columns and massive glass windows that reflected the vast estate. The entrance boasted a grand double staircase leading to towering doors of hand-carved oak and gold filigree. A cascade of water fe
