His Betrayal Broke Me, But I Won in the EndChapter 1

Clarissa's POV

I risked my life saving Alfie Bowen from a fire, and as a result, I temporarily lost my sight.

He swore he would take care of me for the rest of his life, that he would never leave me.

Thankfully, five months into my pregnancy, my vision unexpectedly returned. But before I could tell him, I saw him bringing his female assistant home for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

At the table, she deliberately mouthed the words to him, "Your wife is so ugly. Just looking at her bloated face makes me want to throw up."

Adding fuel to the fire, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law burst into laughter.

Humiliation burned through me and I couldn’t sit there any longer.

However, just as I set down my chopsticks, Alfie shot me a cold glare.

"Shirley is having dinner with us for the first time. Who are you giving that attitude to?" His voice was sharp, cutting through the air. "Eat if you want. If not, get the hell out."

On New Year’s Eve, he kicked me out of the house. As I stood outside, shivering, I could still hear him boasting inside.
