On the day of their seventh wedding anniversary, Brianna Stokes found a divorce agreement in Xavier Hansen's bedside drawer.The document was covered in crossed-out lines and revisions, as if someone had gone back and forth over it many times.One clause stated that if he fell in love with someone else during the marriage, he would voluntarily give up all his assets and leave with nothing, followed by a list of properties.He had once sworn that he would walk away with nothing.However, he kept revising the asset section.He crossed out the house that was originally meant for her.He changed the fifty million he intended to give her into five hundred thousand.At the end, he added a final line as if he were confessing to himself.He wrote that it would be better for Brianna to leave the marriage with nothing because Julie Dodson was pregnant.*****Brianna sat down on the bed, unable to believe what she was seeing.Xavier's signature on the agreement was clean and decisive, without any hesitation.The agreement had been drafted seven years ago, the same year they got married.In that year, Xavier had been willing to give up everything for her.In each year that followed, he removed more and more from what he had promised.Seven years later, she had become the one who would leave with nothing.Her phone suddenly vibrated, and Xavier sent her a message.Xavier: Last-minute business trip. Don't wait up for me.Brianna called him immediately, but she found that his phone was already turned off.Another message appeared on her screen, and it was a screenshot sent by a friend.Julie, the student Brianna had been supporting financially, had posted on i********:.Julie: Wow, I got praised! To celebrate my first time not leaking during my period, he said we have to celebrate!The photos showed Xavier smiling warmly as he placed a dazzling gemstone necklace around Julie's neck.The post was located at a couple-themed hotel.Brianna's breathing hitched for a moment.Xavier had forgotten the anniversary of their seven years together, but he had taken the time to celebrate something so trivial for Julie.The gemstone necklace in the photo was one Brianna had seen at an auction the previous week.That necklace had once belonged to her mother, and it had been lost years ago. She had planned to bid for it, but she was told her bank card was frozen.She had asked Xavier for an explanation.He had replied after a long delay and told her not to waste money on something impractical.She had sat helplessly in the auction hall while holding her bidding paddle.She had even considered selling her own ideas to raise the money.However, someone had placed a final bid remotely and secured the item.Brianna had blamed herself for a long time and hated that she could not reclaim her mother's belongings.She had never imagined that the person who placed that bid was Xavier.He had known how much that necklace meant to her.Yet he had still given it to Julie.On their seventh wedding anniversary, Xavier had lied about being busy and had chosen to spend his time with Julie instead.ic_default
