Chapter 10
Autumn day, leaves flowing like a river.
At Rosegard Manor, a convoy of black SUVS pulled up one after another, making quite an
impression.
The manor’s servant tried to stop them, but how could he hold back twenty young men in
black suits?
The elderly servant was forcibly brought before Chesca, trembling uncontrollably.
Chesca’s eyes were ice–cold. “Is Veronica here?”
The servant played dumb, looking everywhere but at her.
Chesca didn’t care. She brushed past him toward the main hall, followed by Anne and
about twenty security personnel.
Veronica Arnault was lounging on the velvet chaise, a face mask carefully applied, flipping through a copy of Vogue.
She barely had time to register the intrusion before the room was filled with men.
“What the hell?” She bolted upright, ripping the mask from her face. “You can’t just break in here! This is illegal!”
“Illegal?”
Chesca stepped forward from the group.
She looked at Veronica with a cold smile. “Last I checked, Fabian and I aren’t divorced yet.
I’m still Mrs. Elkedonia. And this house? It’s our marital property.”
Chesca pointed at Veronica and the lavishly decorated hall. “That means the designer shoes, the diamond jewelry, even those Hermès bags you love so much–all joint assets. Including
Chapter 10
this house–I have rights to half of it. So I’m legally asking you to move out. That’s fair, isn’t it?”
Veronica was fuming. “Fabian won’t let you get away with this.”
Chesca’s expression hardened. “Before he arrives, I won’t let you get away with anything.”
She reached for the expensive Czech crystal vase perched on the glass table worth over $300,000, and that was just one item in this opulent villa.
She had worked alongside Fabian for all this, only for someone else to enjoy the fruits of
their labor. How ironic.
With a loud crash!
The vase shattered, $300,000 gone in an instant.
Chesca stared at Veronica’s petite face and calmly instructed the men in black. “Destroy everything! I don’t want to see a trace of how this place currently looks.”
Veronica screamed. “You crazy bitch! This is my home!”
Chesca slapped her across the face.
Veronica was completely stunned, taking a long moment to recover. When she finally did, she mumbled. “This is my home, mine and Fabian’s. You can’t destroy it.”
Each time she repeated this, Chesca delivered another hard slap.
Chesca used all her strength.
And Veronica’s face quickly swelled on one side. Her hair came loose, making her look completely disheveled.
She continued to insist this was her home, forbidding the men from destroying it, but they were ruthless. In less than half an hour, the manor was unrecognizable.

Veronica was on the verge of a breakdown.
But Chesca still had a score to settle.
Chesca approached Veronica, examining that innocent–looking face.
Chesca had considered herself quite tolerant since discovering Fabian’s affair. She had only
discussed divorce with Fabian, never harming Veronica in any way.
Yet this girl had gone too far, attacking Chesca’s grandmother.
Chesca reached out and gently touched Veronica’s stomach, her movements surprisingly
tender.
Veronica was terrified, trembling all over!
She hadn’t forgotten the trouble she’d caused at the hospital today. She didn’t know if the
old woman had died.
But whatever, Veronica wouldn’t take responsibility. She had something Fabian wanted,
and she was sure he would protect her.
Chesca looked up. “I hear you’re pregnant, Fabian’s, right?”
Veronica stubbornly insisted. “Of course. You don’t believe me? Fine. We’ll do a DNA test
when the baby is born.”
Chesca smiled coldly. “Why wait? Modern technology is quite advanced–we can do a fetal DNA test right now. A long, sharp needle goes straight into your stomach, through your uterus, and draws out the amniotic fluid and compare it with Fabian’s hair sample.”
Veronica was completely petrified.
A steel–like needle, penetrating the abdomen, extracting amniotic fluid!
Each word made her teeth chatter with fear, but she still refused to admit she wasn’t
pregnant.

“Take her to the hospital,” Chesca ordered.
The security men dragged Veronica away.
Soon, Veronica’s delicate arms and legs were covered in bruises, a horrifying sight. The
entire manor echoed with her hysterical screams-
“You Bitch!”
“You’re just jealous of my pregnancy because you can’t have children yourself!”
“Fabian won’t let you get away with this! He’ll feel sorry for me and treat me even better!”
Those words pierced Chesca’s heart like tiny needles, inflicting deep and pervasive pain.
Chesca approached Veronica, hand raised to deliver another stinging slap.
But her hand never connected–Fabian had arrived.
The evening twilight cast shadows across his grim face, making it chillingly austere.
He surveyed the manor’s destruction, Veronica’s swollen face and the girl sobbing vulnerably–a storm brewed in his dark eyes…
In that moment, Fabian’s fury peaked, causing him to lose all reason and commit an error he would regret for life.
CRACK.
The sound echoed like a gunshot/in the empty house.
Chesca’s face remained turned aside, unable to look back for a long moment.
She was utterly humiliated.
Not because of her slapped face, her aching body, or even her shocked and wounded heart–but because of her life, her unbearably wretched life…

And now the shattered pieces of everything came crashing down on her like a tidal wave.
This kind of brokenness could never be mended.
Chesca laughed.
She gently touched her slapped cheek and slowly turned to face her enraged husband.
As if she didn’t recognize him,
As if he wasn’t Fabian Elkedonia,
As if he wasn’t the man she had once loved so deeply.
Fabian supported Veronica, who seized the opportunity to lean into his embrace, giving
Chesca a challenging look of silent mockery
Chesca remembered Mrs. Arnault’s words: The unloved one is the real mistress.
What did it matter that she’d been married to Fabian for four years or she was the lawful
Mrs. Elkedonia? Her husband had just slapped her without even bothering to determine right from wrong.
Chesca whispered. “The unloved one is the real mistress. So it’s true after all.”
Fabian didn’t catch her words. Still furious, he continued berating his wife. “What the fuck
are you doing, Chesca Lavirins?! Don’t you know she’s weak? She-”
Chesca suddenly shed tears.
But she felt nothing as she spoke softly. “Care for your kept woman yourself. Fabian, do you expect me to join you in worrying about her? You didn’t even ask why I came here, why I wanted to take her away. You/didn’t even know what she excatly did.”
Fabian looked at Veronica.
Veronica cried delicately, looking utterly pitiful. “I did nothing! Really, she barged in wanting to drag me to the hospital and stick a needle into my stomach.”
Chapter 10
Fabian’s eyes blazed with anger. “Chesca, you’ve completely lost your mind!”
“Yes, I have lost my mind.”
“Fabian, I lost my mind the moment I fell in love with you.”
Chesca was actually smiling as she said this.
O
Her heart was nothing but ashes.

From this moment on, she would never feel an ounce of affection for Fabian again. Otherwise, she, Chesca Lavirins, would have given her passionate love without receiving anything in return.
She offered no explanation, simply turned to leave, letting it all go.
In the end, all the love, hate, and obsession couldn’t stand against a simple “it’s over.”
“Chesca.”
Who was calling her from behind?
Was it the young Fabian from years ago?
But that young Fabian had long since died. What followed her was merely a shell, a husk
she no longer wanted…
Anne stayed close by Chesca’s side, supporting her as they walked out, both silent the entire
way.
Outside, dusk had settled over the horizon.
Chesca looked up at a plane tree.
The wind rustled through its few remaining leaves, making a sound like a young girl’s quiet weeping. Chesca stared at it for a very long time before whispering. “The leaves have fallen.”

Anne’s nose stung as she broke into tears.
Unable to contain herself any longer, she let go of Chesca and ran back to the villa. Once inside, she shouted at Fabian.
“You don’t know anything!”
