Chapter 1
During the two years of my marriage, my CEO husband, Kaleb Barton, never touched me.
When I was reaching for my coat, I accidentally brushed against Kaleb’s hand.
He frowned and rinsed his hand with hot water for three hours until his skin was red and swollen.
One day, Kaleb suddenly asked me, “Is lace material more comfortable for women’s underwear?” I thought he was finally showing some interest in me, so I patiently answered him.
However, the next day, he arrived with a delicate gift box and gave it to his female buddy, his face flushed.
He said, “I accidentally tore your underwear last time.
Here’s a replacement for you.”
At that moment, I realized Kaleb wasn’t a neat freak, nor was he allergic to women.
He had been secretly in love with his female buddy all along but couldn’t express his feelings.
That’s why he directed all his resentment towards me, constantly targeting and ignoring me.
At that moment, I finally gave up on this love and decided to let Kaleb go.
A month ago, my husband, Kaleb, cheated on me.
I never imagined that this news would be the only birthday gift I received on my 26th birthday.
That day, I had just been scolded by the elders of Kaleb’s family for three hours.
Everyone complained about me because I couldn’t get pregnant with the Barton family’s offspring even after two years of marriage.
I just listened quietly without retorting.
While I was trying to calm myself down after hanging up the phone, I suddenly received an address on my phone.

My husband’s childhood friend, Annalise Perez, sent a message:“Katrina, Kaleb gathered all of us at Moon Club, probably to celebrate your birthday. Why didn’t you come? Didn’t he inform you?”
I was stunned.
Today was my 26th birthday.
Kaleb had invited all our friends but completely forgot about me, the birthday girl.
My heart felt so heavy.
I thought Kaleb really didn’t love me; otherwise, he wouldn’t have forgotten to tell me.
I took a few deep breaths, suppressing the bitterness in my heart, and typed a few words:
“I got stuck in traffic. You guys go ahead first and have fun.”
After sending the message, I put away my phone and hailed a taxi, heading to Moon Club.
After arriving, I went to Kaleb’s exclusive private room.
But just as I was about to push open the slightly ajar door, the scene I saw through the crack made my hand freeze

in place.
In the private room, Annalise, with delicate makeup, was sitting in Kaleb’s arms.
Her arm was hooked around his neck, and she was speaking in a cheerful tone.
“Kaleb, look at these beautiful women in front of you. Which one caught your eye? Let me help you take her down, buddy.”
