When My Husband Cheated, Divorce Became My Daughter’s SafetyChapter 1

On my thirtieth birthday, the first thing I received was a video of my husband livestreaming himself cheating with a female streamer.

At the birthday banquet, everyone’s eyes had settled on me, waiting to watch the chaos, convinced I would cry and cause a scene like before, begging my husband to return home.

But with my eight-month pregnant belly, I calmly finished the banquet and then went to Zion Payne’s grandmother to declare that I wanted a divorce.

“Starting today, the child in my belly will be your great-grandchild, but will have nothing to do with Zion.”

Grandma Ravenna Payne never imagined that I, who had once cared for Zion so deeply, would stay calm when faced with his open cheating and even quietly decide to keep the child but remove the father.

She didn’t know that from the moment I got pregnant, Zion had been messing around with women outside, switching through who-knows-how-many young models and small starlets.

Every time, I sobbed and acted out, pitifully pleading for him to return home.

But the next day, Zion would still walk out proudly, getting photographed kissing yet another new woman.
