Verdict of Vengeance

On the night of our wedding, my gold-medal lawyer wife, Aurora Sterling, abandoned me and tangled herself with her assistant, Kieran Holt.

Kieran barged into our bridal suite carrying his vegetative-state fiancee, Elara Holt, and demanded we swap spouses.

I refused without hesitation.

Right there on the spot, he drugged me and forcibly locked me in a room with Elara.

Meanwhile, he held Aurora in our newlywed bed and used eighteen condoms that night.

The next morning, I stormed into the office to confront him.

Instead, I saw Aurora kneeling between his legs. When she noticed me, Kieran shuddered and quickly pulled away before standing up.

"Rowan, Aurora didn’t get enough last night, so I brought her out for some fun again. Don’t worry. This will be the last time. I won’t disturb you two anymore."

He turned to leave.

However, Aurora stopped him reluctantly. "Kieran, you're not the one who should leave."

Then she turned to me, her face dark with anger. "Elara became a vegetable because she saved my life. I have an obligation to fulfill a wife’s duties for her.

"From now on, I’ll accompany Kieran on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The rest of the days I’ll stay with you. I’m even giving you an extra day, so you should be satisfied."

As I watched the absurd scene unfold before me, rage finally exploded inside my chest.

Just as I was about to erupt, my phone suddenly chimed.

"Hey, handsome, your skills are pretty good. Interested in developing a long-term arrangement?"

Aurora Sterling saw that I wasn’t responding and angrily slapped me across the face.

"Can you be a little reasonable? Kieran Holt has spent all these years taking care of a vegetative patient. He’s a normal man with needs, too. Do you expect me to just stand there and watch him suffer?

"This matter is settled. Today is Wednesday. If you have nothing to do, hurry up and get out. Stop interfering with us!"

After saying that, she dropped straight into Kieran Holt’s arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately.

Kieran slid his hand under Aurora’s clothes and began groping her brazenly.

The absurd scene in front of me stabbed at my eyes until they burned with pain.

Clenching my fists, I rushed forward and yanked her off him.

"Aurora, I’m not putting up with this. Him or me: choose. There’s no discussion!

"And stop talking about repaying favors. Kieran isn’t someone you’re the only option for. If he’s that desperate, can’t he just find a prostitute himself? Do you really have to offer yourself up?"

Aurora didn’t hesitate before slapping me again. "Rowan Vance, do you want to ruin Kieran’s future? He finally managed to pass the bar exam, and you’re telling him to go hire a prostitute?"

Hearing this, Kieran’s eyes immediately reddened, and he began crying pitifully. "Rowan, I know you’re jealous of me.

"But you stay at home all day doing nothing while Aurora supports the company
