Chapter 1

"Today, I must photograph Kingston Irwin's cheating!"

Krista Compton clenched her fists and fastened her cap. She lowered her head to avoid the surveillance cameras and walked into the high—class clubhouse.

She was here to catch adultery.

She married Kingston a year ago, but she had not seen him since she got the marriage certificate.

This kind of marriage was meaningless as they didn't love each other. It was a senseless waste of life to trap them in marriage.

Recently, a good friend from abroad told Krista that she often saw her husband together with another woman intimately.

Krista wanted to find some evidence so that she could gain the upper hand when she divorced Kingston.

From afar, she saw a woman bringing Kingston to a presidential suite. The door was left ajar, and she hid at the side and heard the woman talking on the phone.

"I know. I will not fail this time. I will install a camera and record a video of our intercourse to threaten him..."

Hearing this, Krista frowned.

So this woman was trying to frame Kingston?

Although she and Kingston didn't have any feelings for each other, she couldn't just watch as he was set up.

She gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, entering the suite and closing the door.

"Who are you?" the woman asked, but Krista did not answer. She stepped forward, knocked the woman out, tied her up, and dragged her into the bathroom.

Krista was strong, so she could knock the woman out with just one blow.

She glanced at the man on the bed. She couldn't get any evidence of his cheating today.

Krista covered the man with a blanket and turned off the light at the bedside. Under the moonlight, she opened the door and wanted to leave, but to her surprise, a large hand clasped her wrist in the darkness.

"Ouch!"

Krista felt her head was spinning. She was thrown onto the bed. The man straddled her.

In the darkness, he could only tell that the woman was thin. He had a feeling that he knew the woman, as if he had met her somewhere before.

However, he couldn't think clearly. He couldn't control himself.

The sexual desire was like a raging flame that was about to engulf him.

He was losing his marbles.

Krista was too weak to push him away.

She resisted desperately and pressed herself against his chest.

His skin was hot.

She wanted to ask him why, but he kissed her. The faint fragrance of mint in his mouth drowned out her words.

Her clothes were torn apart.

...

Three months later, in the capital.

"Any news?"

"No, but we've sent more people to continue searching for that Chinese girl."

"You must find her!"

"Yes, Mr. Irwin!" the secretary replied. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Are you really going back to get a divorce?"

"Someone is more suited for being my wife than she is," Kingston said slowly, his voice cold.

He didn't know why the girl appeared in the suite. She saved him out of kindness, but he took her virginity.

He remembered she cried desperately and begged him to stop that night.

He had no affection for his legal wife. He was forced to marry her under his grandmother's order, so as to make life easier for his mother.

Divorce was a relief to him and his wife.

In Kingston's villa.

Krista received news that Kingston would return home today. He would arrive by evening, and the servants were busy preparing dinner for him.

But Krista wasn't happy at all.

Soon she heard the driver honk the horn, which panicked her.

Kingston was back.

Chapter 2

All the servants went out to welcome Kingston, while Krista stood upstairs and watched quietly.

Kingston looked like a million dollars.

He was 1.86 meters tall, with a golden ratio. His legs were 1.2 meters long, and he didn't have any flab. His firm muscles gave Krista a sense of security.

Krista knew these that night.

What happened that night was so absurd that she felt like it was a dream. The next morning, she went back embarrassingly, not knowing how to speak to Kingston.

Kingston's face was impeccable. He was like a beloved child of God. He was strong, handsome, and resolute. His features were strongly defined.

God was truly unfair. Besides a perfect figure and a handsome face, Kingston had high IQ and a high degree.

He got a double degree in finance and law as a teenager. After graduation, he took over his family business and made his way to the top of the capital in just a few years. Several years ago, he successfully expanded overseas markets.

The day after they got the marriage certificate, he went abroad and never came back, claiming that the branch had just started.

Just as Krista was lost in thought, she felt two cold gazes. She was so frightened that she immediately hid behind the curtains.

She didn't know why she had to hide. It was totally a reflex action.

She was extremely unconfident in front of Kingston.

Her stepmother was the head of her family, so she was not favored at home. If she hadn't married Kingston, she would still have been ordered by her stepmother as a servant.

Her mother saved Kingston's grandmother, so she could marry Kingston.

However, she understood that Kingston didn't dislike her. He didn't hate her, because she had always been obedient.

A servant knocked on the door.

"Mr. Irwin is back. Please go downstairs for dinner."

Krista immediately went downstairs. The dinner was ready.

She and Kingston were separated by the long table.

She liked Chinese food, while Kingston liked western food. Since he came back, the servants had prepared his favorites.

She couldn't help but retch when she saw the medium—cooked steak with blood.

"What's wrong?" Kingston looked at her and frowned.

"It's raw. I always ate Chinese food at home." The western food didn't agree with Krista. Moreover, she had a bad appetite recently, probably because the weather was still very hot.

"Bring her well—done steak."

"Thank you."

Krista whispered her thanks.

No one spoke during dinner. They were not like a couple, but strangers who had to share a table with each other.

After finishing his meal, Kingston gracefully wiped his mouth. Krista hesitated for a moment, wanting to tell him what happened that night.

"Kingston."

"Krista."

The two spoke in unison.

Krista looked at Kingston nervously and said, "You speak first."

Kingston then began,

"Krista, let's divorce."

Krista was taken aback.

"Krista.

Let's divorce."

A servant brought the divorce agreement. Kingston had signed his name. His handwriting was vigorous and forceful, like a calligrapher's.

But Krista was no longer in the mood to appreciate it.

The most important thing in divorce was the distribution of property.

Krista glanced at the agreement. After the divorce, she would have two properties under her name. One was a shop and the other was a residence. Both of them were located in the downtown area, with a market value of tens of millions. In addition, she would also get an additional compensation of 50 million, and a small company with a net profit of several million per year.

She didn't suffer any loss by sleeping with Kingston once.

But she was curious about the reason why Kingston wanted to divorce her.

She closed the agreement and looked at him boldly for the first time.

Kingston met her eyes.

This was the first time he had sized up her face.

Her face was delicate, and her clear eyes were like black gemstones.

She was very thin, as if the Irwins did not give her any good food and drinks. She was so thin that it made his heart ache.

Her figure was similar to that of the girl who had sex with him in the darkness.

If he met her again, he would feed her up a bit.

The thin girl made his heart ache.

"May I ask why?"

"Because I like someone else,"

Kingston answered frankly.

Chapter 3

Kingston and Krista had no feelings for each other. The reason why they got married was Kingston's mother was sandwiched between him and his grandmother, which put her in a dilemma.

He had no choice but to marry Krista for the sake of his mother, and therefore, the relationship between his mother and his grandmother had eased.

Now, his grandmother was in poor health, and she didn't have the chance to plot against his mother secretly. He wanted to find that girl and marry her, so he had to divorce Krista.

Krista was a young student, and had been hiding her marriage from the public. Their divorce would have no effect on her life.

After the divorce, she would receive a large sum of money, enough for her to spend the rest of her life.

Moreover, Kingston knew she did not like him.

This was the second time they had met. Who would like someone who had only met twice?

Hearing what Kingston said, Krista felt her heart sink.

As expected, Kingston liked someone else.

Then there was no need for her to tell him that she slept with him that night, or he would be annoyed.

She went abroad to find evidence of Kingston's cheating, so that she could divorce him. Now, she got what she wanted.

"Alright, I agree."

Krista didn't hesitate.

Kingston had done everything possible to make up for her. He was not to blame for what happened that night as he couldn't control himself. He might be annoyed about it.

Krista took the signature pen and signed her name.

"Thank you."

Kingston thanked Krista for her resolution. They divorced amicably.

After dinner, Kingston did not stay. He left.

Krista packed her things that night. Kingston's car came to pick her up the next day.

She looked back at the villa she had lived in for a year.

She quietly came one year ago.

Now, she quietly left.

After a year, she became a divorced woman.

And she lost her virginity.

With the divorce certificate in her hand, she was in a trance in the sun.

The secretary stopped the car in front of her.

Kingston rolled the window down and looked at her calmly. "I'll give you a ride," he offered.

"No need. I'll go back by taxi. Thank you for taking care of me this year." Krista gave him a relaxed smile.

Kingston gave her so much money. It was not a big deal to sleep with him once.

Kingston did not force her. He nodded and left.

Krista stood at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau and waited for a taxi.

It was autumn now, but it was still very hot.

It was just over ten o'clock, but the sun was blazing hot and Krista could hardly open her eyes.

The Civil Affairs Bureau was remotely located, so it was difficult to hail a taxi.

Krista was covered in sweat. After standing there for a long time, she felt dizzy.

The things in front of her gradually blurred. She had a blackout and couldn't see anything.

When she came to herself, she found she was in hospital. A kind person sent her there.

"I... What happened to me?"

"You suffered from heatstroke, but you are alright now. As a pregnant woman, you should take good care of yourself. Fortunately, the baby is very healthy. You can be discharged from the hospital after a short rest."

"What... What did you say?"

Krista's heart was thumping as she grabbed the nurse's hand.

"You suffered from heatstroke."

"Not this sentence. Pregnant woman? You said I am a pregnant woman?"

"Don't you know that you're pregnant? You've been pregnant for three months, but you have no idea of it?"

Krista got a shock.

She didn't menstruate regularly, so she didn't care about it.

She took a contraceptive pill that night. How could she get pregnant?

"It's impossible. I can't be pregnant. I took a contraceptive pill!"

"Even a powerful contraceptive pill leaves a 3% chance of conceiving. No contraception methods can guarantee absolute success," the nurse reminded.

Krista fainted again.
