Pressed down by him, I almost couldn't breathe. Heavy and rapid breathing popped into my ear, and then I murmured, "Killian, I want you." But he didn't say anything, I could smell alcohol on his body. 

With Killian on me, I was turned on. Too fierce, I  gritted my teeth and endured the pain. I was immersed in the pleasure he brought her and felt she was in the clouds. Killian was finally willing to sleep with her after three years of marriage!

Killian's mother forced him to marry me back then, so he never treated me nicely. This time, no matter why, he entered her room. I was on cloud nine! 

Two hours later, accompanied by a heavy groan, I laid on his body tiredly. The moonlight outside the French window outlined his perfect figure proportions. I listened to his fast heartbeat. It was so real, but it was like a dream. If it was really a dream, I would rather never wake up. 

I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck with an obsessed expression and gasped after the intense sex, "Killian... Killian, I really..." 

I wanted to say "I really love you." Before I  could say these words, she heard Killian  mutter in a low voice.

"Evelina..." 

I froze on the spot.

The tip of my heart trembled. I felt all the blood in my body flow backward. Evelina full name was  Evelina Clarke. She was Killian's love. She had been abroad because of Killian's grandfather.

But just yesterday, Evelina returned. 

Moreover, Evelina sent me a provocative message. 

"Emilia, I'm back. You have no place in the Spenser family.

"Killian Spenser and I grew up together. Do you really think that you can replace me with these few years? Get lost and go back to the orphanage. That's where you should stay.

"You don't know how much Killian loves me, right? Even if he lies on your bed, he will definitely call me by my name. And you only deserve to be my substitute. Emilia, does this feel good?" 

Substitute?

I was the granddaughter-in-law chosen by Killian's grandfather, the legitimate Mrs. Spenser. I was not anyone's substitute! Beside my ear, Killian was still muttering, "Evelina, Evelina." 

The sarcastic text messages kept echoing in my mind, showing how much I deceived myself!

Tears suddenly flowed out uncontrollably. I  clenched my fists tightly, my entire body trembling from the pressure. 

All these years, I had been careful and obedient. I quit my job and wholeheartedly played the role of Killian's perfect wife.

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law disdained my unknown background. They preferred girls from rich families and always humiliated me. In case I brought Killian any trouble, I bore all these by Myself. 

Wasn't I humble enough? Just to get his love?. 

Why did he have to ruthlessly tear and trample on the last bit of my self-esteem?

The night was exceptionally long.

I opened my eyes and didn't sleep for the whole night. 

...

The next morning, Killian was awakened by the dazzling sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window. 

He rubbed his eyebrows and opened his eyes to see Emilia sitting in front of the dressing table with her back to him. The absurd thing from last night suddenly flashed through his mind. He realized something. He frowned deeply, and anger appeared in his heart. 

Although Emilia had her back to him, she could clearly feel Killian's anger. Sure enough, a man's voice suddenly sounded behind her angrily. 

"You!!" 

She turned behind, seeing Killian walking toward her in anger, as if the next second, he would beat her to death.  

"You!"

"How dare you drug me!!" 

"What do you mean?, I did no such thing!" Emilia retorted and just as she expected, he didn't believe her. 

“Get lost! ” Killian threw the divorce papers to Emilia. “Sign it NOW.”  

Emilia retorted in a stiff voice, “you still don't believe me?” 

“You are vain and fake. I know you.” Killian sneered, “your step sister is back; you’re only her substitute. After our divorce, I will marry her." 

Emilia's gaze landed on Killian who had voiced his opinion all of a sudden. There was a layer of frost on his handsome face and his eyes looked as piercing as icepicks. 

“No!, I would never do that!, When I know too well that I am innocent, if I wanted to force myself on you by drugging you then I wouldn't have waited patiently for three years, I could have drugged you a long time ago!!” Emilia yelled. 

He pressed his lips together as his icy gaze landed on Emilia's face. His eyes were filled with intense hatred and disgust! 

“Emilia clarke, don't forget that the life of your younger sister lies in my hands, don't get me angry or you would have to face the consequences, just sign the damn papers!” 

His tone was domineering while his expression was cold and certain. 

Emilia had expected this since her step sister  came back but everything comes so fast. Emilia's throat felt tight and her eyes stung as she stared at this man she had loved for more than 12 years and even till now. 

"Emilia, don't make me repeat it. Sign it. I will give a check of $300,000 to you. Just take your last dignity!"  

She bent her face as she mocked herself inwardly. So, he thought he was kind enough to her?.

She picked up the divorce papers he threw to her. He had signed his name.  With a deep breath, she regained her composure, "Are you sure you would not regret this?"  

"You really think I would regret kicking you out?" Killian looked at her with cold eyes, "You know the reason why we got married. Emilia, don't be greedy. It will only make me hate you more."  

Emilia gritted her teeth, "I don’t care about your hate."  

Killian's expression was extremely stern but very much threatening "Emilia!"  

After much contemplation , emilia picked up the pen and said, "Fine, I'll sign it."  

After her step sister came back from Korea some days ago, she sent her countless intimate photos of her and Killian. They were crazy about each other. It is meaningless to hold onto the failed marriage?  

Emilia crossed out the money he gave her and signed her name without any hesitation.  Their three-year marriage finally ended here.  From then on, she was free.  

Emilia handed him the divorce papers and said in a calm voice, "I'll pack up and leave in an hour."  

Frowned, Killian stared at her, "You don't have to leave. Just take the villa."  

"No, I think any place you live..." Emilia chuckled and said word by word, "is disgusting."  

"You!"  

Emilia used to be servile and submissive, but now, she ignored Killian who was angry, and pushed him out of the room.  

An Hour later ~

Emilia went downstairs. Killian was already gone. She suddenly looked at the Custom Wallet. in her hand.  She specially prepared it as a gift for his coming birthday. At this time, she only found it offending to the eye. 

Pia!  

She threw the custom wallet into the garbage can without hesitation.  She took a light breath. The past three years were only a dream. From now on, she would only live for herself!  

After leaving the villa, Emilia hailed a taxi and went directly to her own villa.  

..... 

For the first time since Emilia got married to Killian, she felt relieved and free like a bird who just escaped from the wicked clutches of a hunter. 

Right at that moment, she walked towards the department stores in search of some simple wears she could buy for herself.

While she selected some beautiful clothes, a couple came into the store. Emilia's face darkened instantly.  

The man was dressed in a black suit, and his silver cufflinks were shining coldly in the light, just like him.  The woman beside him was in a white dress, black-haired and lovable. It was Evelina Clarke.  

Emilia sneered inwardly. They just decided to divorce and then he was here shopping with his mistress.  

"Uggh....Why are they here of all places!!" 

Maybe her voice was a little high and excited. Killian noticed it and saw her. His expression was unhappy in an instant. 

He was wondering why Emilia signed the divorce papers without hesitation and even refused the money he planned to give her. However, she appeared in front of him again. So, she was playing hard to get?  

Emilia looked at him, then looked away with a cold face and pushed the shopping cart  to buy other things, anything at all as long as she doesn't collide with Evelina, her step sister. 

Even though she did that, her eyeballs tend to collide with his every second that passes by. It turned out that they came to the mall to buy a wedding dress for Evelina.

Emilia felt a pang of pain hit her,  it hasn't been up to 24 hours since they divorced yet he had already made up his mind to remarry in a space of 3 days. Of course, the news had already spread like wild fire. 

And just like she had thought, Evelina made everyone believe that 'she' was the mistress who had snatched Killian away from Evelina while it was the other way round. 

After paying for the things she bought,  Emilia went home. 

That night, Emilia slept soundly. 

She used to worry about losing Killian, but they were getting a divorce soon. She was more at ease and peaceful after losing him.  

~3 WEEKS LATER~ 

In the morning, she received a call from Killian asking that they should meet up. 

Did he change his mind now that they were already divorced. 

She drove out after having breakfast. 

In a car outside Emilia's villa, a man in black mysteriously dialed a number at the same time, "My lady, she's out."  

"Okay, Did you do as I instructed" Evelina's voice was clearly heard.  

"Yes" 

"Okay, I will be there soon."  

Evelina had a gloomy face. She never knew that Emilia had her own villa. She even urged Killian to divorce her which is so unlike Emilia. She... seemed to have become a different person.
