Chapter 1 " You said you were fine with an open marriage , so I cheated on you . It shouldn't be a problem , right ? " Sandria Far- ley's husband , Florentino Burnham , asked with a smug smile . His shamelessness shattered Sandria's heart . Earlier that day , she had stumbled across a Tik Tok video showing him kissing another woman . They were at a con- cert venue , and the jumbotron happened to zoom in on them kissing . Florentino , not noticing her heartbroken expression , even wanted to hug her . " We've been facing liquidity issues and need to establish ties with the Schroeder Group . They've just expanded into Eaveton . She's the niece of the family's head . " The Schroeder family ? Sandria subtly dodged his hand and put away a document she had been holding . " So , you want me to put up with your betrayal ? " " You said it yourself , " Florentino smirked , lifting her chin . " You were okay with an open marriage . " She parted her lips , but no words came out . After a moment of silence , her voice came out hoarse . " Fine . I accept it . " His indifferent attitude and cruel words stabbed her heart like a sharp knife . Yes , she had once talked about being okay with an open marriage - but it was a joke . During their three years of mar- riage , she had never betrayed him . Yet , here he was , using the joke to justify his affair . Sandria gave a faint , self - deprecating smile . That was when Florentino finally noticed she wasn't " okay . " He took out a diamond bracelet from his pocket and slipped it into the V - neck of her slim - fit dress . " Don't be upset , hon . You're the one I love the most . After all , you're my wife - the only woman who'll be with me to the end , " he cooed . She just smiled , giving no reply . " Wanna spice things up tonight ? " He pulled out a joint out of nowhere . Sandria took it and cracked a bright smile . " Sure . Just a sec . " Then she reached for a blindfold nearby , slipped it over his eyes , and used his own belt and necktie to bind his wrists . and ankles to a chair . 0.0 % 07:04 Chapter 1 Only then did she start to undress him . Chuckling , she whispered in his car , " No pecking . " Like always , Florentino was powerless against her allure . Even his tanned skin flushed crimson with arousal . " Better start praying … It's gonna be a long night . " After finishing the last knot , Sandria stopped smiling . She stepped back , her voice still as charming as ever . " Wait for me . I'll go take a shower . " She stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower . 11 288 Pouchers However , instead of stepping under the water , she discreetly pulled out a suitcase . The water masked her every move- ment . Florentino had forgotten - she was never the submissive type . She then fumbled for her phone and made a call . " Ash , is the apartment you offered me earlier still vacant ? " " Of course , it is . It's already equipped with everything . Sandy , have you made up your mind ? " Ashlan Schroeder sounded very surprised . Sandria pursed her lips , her gaze fixing on the paternity test in her hand . " Yeah . I'll head back once I've tied up loose ends in Eaveton . " " Alright . If anything happens , call me . I'll always be there for you , Sandy . No one's ever going to hurt you again . " Sandria ended the call without another word .
