After Divorce: Contract Marriage with Millionaire

Kaitlyn POV

My life changed that night when I woke up unexpectedly. That miserable moment when I heard my husband, Martin, having a secret phone call in the bathroom.

Curious, I approached the bathroom, pressed my ear close to the door, and listened carefully to his conversation. He was whispering past midnight, and something felt terribly wrong.

"What are you saying? We only spent one night together. How are you pregnant with my child?" Martin almost shouted at the person on the phone. My heart skipped a beat.

His child? He made another woman pregnant?

"Yes, I know my wife is infertile, but are you sure it's my child?" Martin continued, and I became more curious. I couldn't contain the emotions welling up in my eyes.

My heart raced, struggling not to believe what I had just heard. "Okay, okay. We'll do the test tomorrow. Goodnight," I heard him say as he suddenly ended the call in anger.

I quickly returned to bed, closing my eyes while pretending to sleep. Soon, I heard Martin's footsteps approaching the bed, and I froze.

For months, I had noticed that Martin, the man I had lived with for four years, had grown cold toward me. His kisses had become short and empty. He no longer made love to me. He came home late, giving excuses about family investments, but in reality, he was spending time with his young mistress.

I didn't want Martin to know I had eavesdropped. I'm not that weak. Even as he betrayed me, I couldn't let him see my suspicion. But I had to know.. who was she? And why?

Then, unexpectedly, he kissed my forehead, sending shivers through my body.

"Don't worry, darling, everything is fine." Was he trying to compensate for his betrayal? "We might welcome a new wife soon, but you can stay if you want."

I felt as if a dagger had pierced my chest when I heard Martin's words. He turned away and went to sleep. Despite my anger, I decided not to confront him until the next day.

However, when I woke up the next morning, Martin was already gone. Martin, who never left the bed without greeting me each morning, had suddenly disappeared. Something felt off. My mind went back to the eavesdropping from last night.

What if it was true? What if another woman was carrying his child? What would become of me? I was in shock. Martin had been my entire world, but life had taught me strength and not to give up. I paced the room, thinking.

I had lost everything for this marriage, but I had never regretted it.. not until this moment. I knew that if this unexpected reality was true, Martin's family wouldn't waste time throwing me out.

They had treated me harshly for failing to conceive and provide an heir for the family, even once, even if I had miscarried. I had accepted their criticism silently. There was nothing to say, especially since I loved
