Chapter 6
The butler’s call came while Rhett was handling documents.
“Sir, the madam has been missing for three days, and her phone is unreachable…”
Rhett didn’t even look up from his papers, as if this were a trivial matter he didn’t care about.
“Cancel her credit cards,” he said, his voice devoid of emotion. “When the money runs out, she’ll crawl back.”
After hanging up, he picked up a bottle of pills Nyra had recently delivered-labeled aphrodisiacs-and expressionlessly poured out several pills, swallowing them without hesitation.
Then he dialed Nyra’s number: “Come over.”
Two hours later, Nyra left satisfied.
When Rhett received notification from me again, it was a divorce petition from the court, along with an attached property division application.
He angrily tore open the envelope, and seeing the contents, he violently shredded the petition.
n court, Rhett angrily gripped my wrist tightly, with force that nearly crushed my bones.
Liora, when will you finally wake up?” he growled in a low voice, “Do you really think you can leave me?”
The judge frowned and banged the gavel: “Defendant, watch your language!”
But Rhett paid no attention, staring at me with contempt and cruelty.
Without me, you are nothing!”
The clothes you wear, the things you use, where you live, even those lingerie-which one wasn’t bought with my money?”
The courtroom air froze momentarily, and the spectators burst into suppressed laughter.
They looked at me with sympathy, but more with disdain.
My heart, however, was extraordinarily calm.
looked at him, this man I had loved deeply for ten years, and slowly raised my phone.
Your Honor,” I said calmly, “I have evidence here that can prove how Mr. Rhett conducted ‘therapy’ with his personal assistant during our marriage.”
pressed play.
On the screen, what was once our shared bedroom and the bed we had slept in together was now displaying obscene scenes.
Vyra’s moaning gasps and Rhett’s heavy breathing echoed throughout the courtroom, the sound harsh and shocking.
The red recording indicator light on screen was blinking.
The game hasn’t even started yet…”
Did you learn Nyra’s new positions?”
Rhett stared at the screen, his face turning pale, and he stepped back in shock, hitting the defendant’s chair.
“No… this is impossible…”
And Nyra in the gallery also turned deathly pale.
When court recessed, I intercepted her in the hallway.
Seeing me, Nyra immediately tried to run.
“Don’t rush off, Nyra.” I blocked her path.
Those treatment drugs’ you gave him worked quite well.”
Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she asked in a trembling voice: “What… what are you talking about?!”
I leaned close to her ear, speaking in a voice only we could hear:
“I wonder, when Rhett discovers he’s facing erectile dysfunction, who will face his wrath first-you or me?”
Nyra’s legs gave out, and she fell directly to the floor.
When court reconvened, the judge announced:
There was concrete evidence of Rhett’s infidelity in marriage, and I would receive 70% of his assets.
The moment the judge finished the announcement, Rhett suddenly covered his mouth, bent over violently, and began vomiting in the courtroom.
Everyone was stunned.
I calmly watched him as dark liquid quickly seeped through his custom suit pants.
The last drug Nyra had given him was finally taking effect.
I took the court judgment and turned to leave.
Behind me came his assistant’s screams:
“Rhett! Rhett, what’s wrong?!”
“My God! You’re… you’re bleeding!!”
