Chapter 4

I saw a big, corpulent man staring at me with a lecherous grin.

I shrieked in terror,

frantically grabbing a pillow and throwing it at the man.

The man was unfazed and chuckled suggestively.

“Don’t panic. I’m Lucas’s friend.”

“He said you’re scared of the dark at night, and asked me to keep you company.”

“I’m very gentle.”

Lucas!

That scumbag!

To make me leave with nothing,

he actually did something so sick and twisted!

I clenched my fists, forcing myself to calm down.

The bullet comments appeared again.

[Lucas has already cashed in the prize money.]

[As soon as this creepy man succeeds, Lucas will rush in to take evidence and make you leave with nothing!]

[Fiona must leave here immediately and find a lawyer to divorce him!]

Leave! Find a lawyer to divorce him!

I repeated these two sentences over and over.

Looking up, the man was already by the bed.

He tore off my blanket and sat down next to me.

“Beautiful, I’m here!”

I stared in horror at the man lunging at me,

grabbed the vase from the bedside table,

and smashed it hard on his head.

He cried out in pain, clutching his head and falling to the floor.

I seized the opportunity to jump out of bed,

and kicked him hard in the groin.

A more agonizing scream filled the entire bedroom.

I cowered in the farthest corner, trembling with fear.

Terrified tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

The bedroom door was suddenly thrown open.

Carter, Mary, and Lucas stood at the doorway, each holding a phone, their faces excited.

But when they saw the man lying on the ground, covered in blood,

they all froze.

Lucas was the first to react.

He rushed forward, quickly playing the victim.

“Fiona, you’re so shameless!”

“You’re bringing other men into our home!”

“What exactly did I not provide you with,”

“that you’re playing such perverted games with another man!”

Mary snapped back to reality, pressing the camera button repeatedly.

“You shameless bitch, you’re cuckolding our Lucas!”

“I’m going to make Lucas divorce you!”

“I’m going to make you leave with nothing!”

Carter chimed in.

“That’s right! Leave with nothing! You won’t get a single dime!”

I stared at Carter, Mary, and Lucas, trembling all over.

For the past five years, I had treated them like family,

giving them my whole heart.

What I got in return was their cold indifference today.

My body shaking, I painfully moved to stand in front of Lucas.

I raised my hand and slapped Lucas across the face.

“Lucas, *you’re* the one who should leave with nothing!”

Lucas stared at me, bewildered.

It took him a while to react.

The next second, his palm landed on my face.

“Make me leave with nothing? In your dreams!”

He held up his phone.

“Even though I didn’t capture the most ‘exciting’ moments.”

“But a man and a woman alone in a room, everyone knows what that means.”

“This video alone is enough to prove you cheated!”
