The first incident was when Hugo joined a cocktail party. Paparazzi took photos of him holding and kissing a well-known actress on the rooftop of a hotel.
That time, Hugo said he had too much alcohol and was drugged by someone. Kiara trusted him.
The second event happened at an auction, where Hugo spent a large amount of money on a young model.
Later, Kiara slid the divorce agreement across the table to him and wanted to get a divorce.
To prove he felt regret, Hugo had knelt on the snow for an entire day and night, and gotten very sick in the intensive care unit.
Kiara’s heart had grown soft, and she had told herself that this was the final time she would forgive him.
They were childhood sweethearts after all, and had grown together in an orphanage.
Later on, she was adopted by a family. When they had reunited years later, it wasn’t happy.
Back then, Kiara had almost been raped by her adoptive father.
Hugo had protected her and had smashed a wine bottle over the man.
With that, the man needed many stitches, and Hugo served one year in prison.
While going inside, Hugo had reassured her, “Kiara, giving one year for your safety is worth it.”
So afterward, even when Hugo had done wrong things, she had decided to excuse him again and again.
She reminded herself that she would only give Hugo three chances, and this time was the third.
Hugo didn’t know that three months earlier, her biological parents had found her and told her she was the only heir of a mafia family. They had even arranged three future husbands for her.
Back then, for Hugo’s sake, Kiara refused.
But now, she regretted it.
Since Hugo had made another woman pregnant, she should also throw him away.
Kiara pulled out her phone and texted her father, who was abroad.
[Dad, I’ve decided to go back to the family and inherit what is rightfully mine. Once the divorce is finalized, I’ll return.]
As soon as the message went through, her father sent ten million dollars to her bank card.
[Good girl, take this money as your travel fund for coming back. The entire family is waiting for your return.]
Watching the amount her father transferred, Kiara smiled.
She and Hugo had built everything from nothing. Feeling sorry for him, she had never been willing to spend freely.
With so much money, Hugo had never used it on her, yet he spent generously on the women around him without a second thought.
Where affection went, money followed.
