The excuse he said couldn't even affect my work. But under the collar of his unbuttoned shirt, there were a few kiss marks vaguely visible.

My eyes suddenly filled with tears and I choked up and asked him, "Stephan, are you really going to have a fake divorce with me because of the company's debt?"

Stephan held my hand tightly, frowning slightly, "Natasha, don't you still believe me? I love you so much, if there is no other choice, how could I choose the path of fake divorce to save you!"

Stephan's eyes were red and I was imprinted in his dark pupils.

Before I opened my mouth, Lilian stood at the door with a suitcase.

"Uncle! I'm back!" she called out excitedly.

She was wearing a bright yellow dress, beautiful, young and energetic. Unlike me, boring and uninteresting.

As soon as she came in, she took Stephan's arm, "Uncle, I'm so tired from the flight."

Lilian pretended to glance at my red eyes and exclaimed, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

She pointed at the divorce agreement on the table and covered her mouth deliberately and shouted, "Ah? You want to divorce?"

Stephan frowned, bent down to put away the divorce agreement and touched her head lovingly. "Why are you back? Just arrived?"

The ordinary scene became dazzling in my eyes. The discussion about divorce was interrupted again and I went back to the room on the pretext of feeling uncomfortable. Leaving the two of them, they continued to play the uncle-nephew relationship.

I turned my head and looked at Stephan's study. That was Stephan's private space and he never let anyone in.

As if possessed by a ghost, I pushed open the door. At one glance, I froze in place. In the dim study, the entire wall was covered with Lilian's photos. Stephan recorded all the looks of Lilian from his own perspective. She was cute, pure and sweet, or beautiful and every smile and frown was so moving.

On the bookshelf, the books named after Lilian were full of love for her. Stephan wrote them one by one. I thought Stephan loved me, but he filled his study with another woman.

I couldn't hold back the grievance in my heart anymore and tears fell. Everything in the room was like a huge rock, piling up on my heart, making me breathless. There was a "click" sound and I subconsciously hid behind the bookcase.

"You come back like this, it's easy to interrupt my divorce plan! Don't do this next time."

"I know! But I really want to know what surprise you have hidden for me in the study!" Lilian's voice was sharp and delicate and it made people numb all over.

As soon as the door opened, Lilian was silent. She was stunned like me. But I was sad and she was happy.

"Uncle..." The two looked at each other, Lilian cried and kissed Stephan.

The door was closed and I watched them kissing through the bookcase grid.

"Little darling..." Stephan sighed.

I trembled when I heard the name. It turned out that he called me darling in bed, but he just regarded me as a substitute for Lilian.

I heard the voice of Stephan calling Lilian over and over again. There was a rare lust in his low and cold voice.

It turned out that this was the real Stephan. He was cold and self-restrained on weekdays and he said he respected me, but it turned out that he was just using me!

"When I get divorced, there will be no obstacles between us and no one will say anything."

"Uncle..." Lilian cried even harder and the moans in the room were like a magic sound that made me lose consciousness.

I looked at the two people in the camera of my mobile phone and my heart sank to the bottom of the valley little by little. The last trace of attachment also disappeared with these words. The love that I was once proud of was just a smokescreen for others to secretly move. Bitterness and grief spread in my heart.

I didn’t know when they left the study room and when I came to my senses. I was the only one left in the study room and the damp smell in the room.

I walked back to the room and touched a used condom as soon as I sat down.

When I was watching in a trance and Stephan’s voice came from behind.

“Where did you go? I couldn’t find you just now.” Stephan pretended to hug me, with the sweet fragrance of a girl on his body.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

I suppressed my nausea and quietly withdrew from his arms. “Divorce... I agree.”

The second half of Stephan’s words was stuck in his throat and he looked at me in disbelief. He turned around and saw the condom on the bed, his face suddenly changed,

"Natasha, this is what we did last time...”

"I know, it was you who used it."

I pretended not to care and threw the condom into the trash can. Stephan stood there, not daring to move. He squatted down, held my hand and said a lot of words to show his loyalty. But I couldn't listen to it at all.

The next day, we went to register for divorce. Until now, Stephan still held my hand and promised to remarry. I looked at the man acting in front of me and my heart was dead.

Stephan, you didn’t have to act like this. Everything was over.

On the day of departure, I simply packed my things, signed the re-drafted divorce agreement and put it on the bedside table. I also put aside another piece of evidence about Stephan's transfer of assets.

When I went downstairs, I saw Lilian nestled in Stephan's arms, smiling harmlessly.

"Aunt, you're awake! Look, this is the new dress my uncle bought for me."

I nodded with a fake smile and took a bite of the bread on the table. "Your uncle is so good to you. I have something else to do at the station, I'll go first."

Before I walked out, Lilian stopped me, "Aunt, take a day off today, we'll take you somewhere in the morning!"

I was just thinking of refusing when Lilian pushed me into the car.

In the car, she and Stephan were chatting enthusiastically. And I had nothing to connect with. Stephan and I were not from the same class, we met because of a case. His pursuit of me was still a mystery to this day. Now I knew that it was a trap set for me.

When I arrived at the scene, I realized that today was a piano concert held by Stephan for Lilian. Lilian, wearing a dress, hugged and kissed them enthusiastically and she was very graceful throughout the whole process.

Stephan stood behind her, a perfect match made in heaven. I was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and police pants, blending in with the crowd. I kept backing away because of discomfort and awkwardness.

Until someone in the crowd glanced at me, "Lilian, is this the piano-cleaning servant you brought? She looks a little stupid."

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at me and laughed.

And Stephan was in the crowd, looking at me, "Natasha, go and check Lilian's piano."

With just one sentence, he casually confirmed that I was the servant.

I stared at him closely and the warmth in my eyes faded away little by little. The carnival in the venue had nothing to do with me. I thought everything could end well. But Lilian didn't want to.

She walked to my side in high heels. "Your wedding shoes are very suitable for me!"

I looked closely and saw that they were my wedding shoes, which were designed by Stephan himself. It was just that the size was too small and my heels were bleeding at the wedding banquet. It turned out that this pair of shoes was not designed for me from the beginning.

"I know you were in the study yesterday, don't play dumb, Natasha. If I were you, I would have packed up and left long ago. You know how much my uncle loves me in bed..."

I bit my lip and my face turned pale little by little. Anger surged in my chest and when I came back to my senses, Lilian was already sitting on the ground, with glass shards all over the ground. The mottled bloodstains were extremely eye-catching.

"Uncle, I'm fine, I can still play." Lilian stood firm and kept explaining for me.

"Natasha, are you crazy? Lilian plays the piano and I want you to be buried with these hands if they are broken!"

In a fuzzy state of mind, I only saw Stephan pointing at me and cursing with a hideous face. Everyone was accusing me of being vicious and for a while, I became the head of the crime. The insomnia of the past few days made me lose all my strength and I fell to the ground without any warning.

The USB flash drive in my arms fell out and I was about to pick it up, but Stephan stepped on it.

"Natasha, you not only hurt Lilian, but also wanted to steal the sound source of her performance? You are a police woman, you should reflect on yourself." He cursed at me.

Stephan's eyes were full of coldness, he bent down to pick up the USB flash drive and handed it to Lilian. I wanted to take it back, but I was snapped back the moment I reached out.

"Stephan, you will regret it." I said in low voice.

Stephan paused, his expression gloomy. Lilian walked away with Stephan in a victorious manner. I couldn't get up for a long time and the pain in my heart was far more profound than the pain in my body.

The moment I walked out of the venue, the melodious music from the concert sounded. I didn’t know how I got to the institute.

Standing in front of the old commander, I didn't shed a single tear.

"Natasha, life is long, you must look forward. I will ask someone to help you with the divorce."

The Old Commander came with a divorce official letter was handed over to me and I thanked him after taking it.

"Sir, there is someone making trouble outside. He said he is Natasha's husband!"

My colleague glanced at me awkwardly and I turned my head away and saw that the person standing downstairs was Stephan.

"You go first, I will settle this matter!" The Old Commander asked me to leave through the back door and walked downstairs with my colleagues.

I stood on the second floor, but I couldn't move my feet. I turned on my phone and found that Stephan had called me many times and sent me many messages.

The message first questioned me about changing the USB flash drive, which made Lilian look ridiculous. Then he explained the relationship between himself and Lilian. Finally, he asked me where I was.

He seemed to be crazy on the other end of the phone. Just like him standing downstairs at this moment, rushing in like crazy.

"I want to see Natasha. I don't believe she left me like this! I can explain a lot of things!"
