Ten Years of DINK Life,Until My Bastard Kids Walked InChapter 1
On the tenth year of my agreement with my husband to remain child-free, I deliberately brought home a pair of illegitimate children.
Mrs. Walker slapped me hard across the face.
“You shameless whore! Take those bastards of yours and get the hell out of here.”
My parents were so furious they threatened to cut ties with me.
“From now on, don’t say you know us. We don’t have such a disgraceful daughter.”
Ethan Walker went even further, throwing divorce papers in my face.
“Divorce! Not only that—you’re leaving with nothing.”
I smiled faintly and looked at Ethan.
“Someone will walk away with nothing, but that someone won’t be me. It’ll be you.”
The moment those words fell, the crowd that had been whispering nearby erupted.
“Holy shit, never seen anything this shameless! She cheats and still demands her husband walk away empty-handed. Is there no justice left?”
“Exactly! I heard she married up. Her family only ran a small company before, and thanks to her husband’s connections it grew into a Fortune 500 company. Any other woman would worship him, and she cheats? She must be insane.”
“Ugh, disgusting. An ungrateful bitch who used a man to climb up and still strayed—why hasn’t karma struck her yet?”
Ethan laughed angrily, veins popping on his forehead.
“Melissa Carter, have you lost your mind? I’ve got patience, but I’m no saint.”
“Get this straight—you’re the one who cheated, not me. So why the hell should I be the one to walk away with nothing?”
And he wasn’t wrong. The one who cheated was me.
So I replied,
“Yes, you’re absolutely right.”
“But that doesn’t change the fact—you’ll still be the one leaving with nothing.”
The room fell dead silent.
Everyone stared at me in shock, not understanding why I would say something like that.
Mrs. Walker recovered first. While I wasn’t looking, she raised her hand and slapped me again.
“You crazy woman, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?”
“If it weren’t for your weak health, my son never would have agreed to a vasectomy out of pity for you. With any other daughter-in-law, I’d already be a grandmother by now!”
Her anger only grew.
