My Billionaire Husband Ruined Me,Then Begged on His KneesMy Billionaire Husband Ruined Me,Then Begged on His Knees Chapter 1
At my wedding, the massive screen suddenly displayed photos of me in bed with Sebastian Gilbert's sworn enemy.
Before I could react, Sebastian had already handled the chaos with chilling efficiency, then calmly walked me through the rest of the ceremony as if nothing had happened.
When the banquet finally ended and I tried to explain, I found him pinning my stepsister to our marriage bed, taking her with savage abandon.
My screams and tears earned me nothing but his dismissive reply:
"What's this? A slut like you putting on a devoted wife act for me?"
After that night, Sebastian showered Narelle Harding with affection—mansions, jewelry, gifts beyond counting.
They paraded their love everywhere, turning me, Mrs. Gilbert, into the laughingstock of Capital City.
For three years I fought to win him back. It took a doctor handing me miscarriage papers to finally wake me up.
If love was already dead, why was I still clinging to its corpse?
——
As the doctor delivered the news, nurses' voices drifted in from the hallway, dripping with envy:
"Mr. Gilbert loves Ms. Harding so much! She just had a little scare, and he walked away from a billion-dollar contract without blinking—stayed by her side the whole time. Her room is overflowing with gifts and supplements. I just saw him spoon-feeding her porridge himself!"
"That's so sweet! This is what real love looks like when a man has power. But wait—isn't Mr. Gilbert married?"
"Oh, you mean that notorious slut? She cheated before the wedding. Damaged goods. Mr. Gilbert's just too kind, letting her keep the title. As if someone like her deserves to be called Mrs. Gilbert."
Slut.
The word dragged me back to my wedding night, when Sebastian had spat it at me with the same contempt.
I'd walked into the bedroom still wearing my gown, words of explanation ready on my lips—and froze.
Two pale bodies tangled on our marriage bed.
The moment I recognized Sebastian and Narelle, something inside me snapped. I grabbed everything within reach and hurled it at them, screaming.
Sebastian shielded her with his body. Dressed her with gentle hands. Called a car and sent her away with tender care.
Only then did he look at me.
I was shattered, sobbing, demanding to know why.
He flicked ash from his cigarette, utterly unmoved.
