Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 3

Madeline sat blankly on the bed all night.

She felt both empty and lost.-

Her life was an absolute joke.

Madeline laughed bitterly.

Including their five years of marriage, she had loved Lucius for eight years.

She fell for him at first sight in college, but she knew deep down she wasn't worthy of him.

The Whitman Group was the city's top powerhouse, while she was just an orphan whose parents had passed away.

Madeline worked relentlessly, chasing him like a distant dream, until finally, she was noticed.

She displayed a massive talent for computer science in college, developing an indie game that became highly sought after by everyone on campus. Before she even graduated, major corporations were offering millions of dollars to buy the patent.

She could have made her first fortune, but instead, she chose to hand the patent over to Lucius for free.

At that time, Lucius had just joined the gaming division of the Whitman Group. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed a major success to secure his inheritance over his relatives, he never would have married her.

But after marrying her, Lucius never planned to love her.

In the past, Madeline naively believed that as long as she worked hard enough, the day would come when he would finally cherish her.

Reality, however, delivered slap after brutal slap.

It was time to wake up. She was going to divorce Lucius!

Madeline tried to get up to shower, but her legs were so stiff from sitting all night that she nearly collapsed, eventually fainting onto the bed from dizziness.

When she woke up again, it was already five in the afternoon.

Even though she was home all day, it was eerily quiet. No one bothered her. It was as if neither her husband nor her child even acknowledged her existence—as if nobody needed her.

She picked up the phone. "Tessa, help me draft a divorce settlement."

Tessa Thatcher was Madeline's best friend and an elite divorce attorney.

"I've drafted it according to your terms. Want me to send it over for you to review?"
