Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Halston calmly bent down to pick it up. His slender fingers carefully wiped the dust off it. He looked at the wedding photo with deep eyes. His smile was gentle and profound.
“Look at our photo. What a beautiful couple. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call us a perfect match. We’re meant to be together.”
“Shut up!”
Flossie covered her ears and yelled at him, “Do you think this is funny? I can make hundreds of fake certificates like this anytime I want. Unfortunately, a fake certificate will always be fake!”
She thought Halston must have found out that she was getting married with Mr. Q, so he made a fake certificate to annoy her. He was so childish!
“A fake certificate?”
Halston was amused by Flossie’s claim. He kindly reminded her, “In that case, why don’t you open the official government website and check who your legal spouse is?”
“I won’t fall for that trick!”
“If you still think I’m playing a prank on you, open it up and take a look… After all, I might be able to make a fake certificate, but I’m not powerful enough to interfere with the legal system.”
Halston’s words shattered the last glimmer of hope Flossie had.
She took out her phone and, with trembling fingers, logged into the Household Registration System of the Civil Affairs Bureau accessible by the public, and opened her personal information page. The name in the spouse column was indeed Halston Guajardo. The time of the marriage registration matched the time when she and Mr. Q went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together!
“Have you confirmed it? I’m not lying, am I?”
Halston’s deep eyes were fixed on Flossie. He took note of all the changes in her expression.
He was like a veteran hunter. In order to capture this woman, he had set up a very elaborate trap. And now, finally, it was time to pull the net.
“Halston Guajardo, what the hell did you do? Why is this happening?”
Flossie was shocked. She could not accept it. She could not figure out how he did it.
“I told you, didn’t I? My goal is exactly what my mother claimed. I want you and I to be legally married again, and I want you and the children to belong to me. To achieve this goal, I don’t care even if I have to use means that are a bit despicable…”
“What…what have you done to Mr. Q?”
Flossie asked in a trembling voice, her eyes teary.
She had known this man for so many years, but this was the first time she had feared him.
He was much more calculating than she thought. She thought her plan was seamless, but he had long figured her out.
Flossie thought she was laughable. She felt as small as a bug. She crawled and crawled, thinking that she could finally climb out of her cage and start a new life…
But he simply moved his fingers slightly and easily pulled her back into the abyss!
Halston’s smiley eyes gradually turned cold. They were now filled with a dangerous intent.
“At a moment like this, he’s the one you care about, huh? I underestimated your feelings for him.”
“Of course you underestimated our feelings! That’s because you’re a cold-blooded animal! You don’t even have basic human emotions, so how can you understand other people’s feelings?!”
Flossie was filled with an intense fury. She wanted to pounce on him like a mad dog, biting and tearing him to pieces.
But she was also aware of the fact that, the more she lost control, the more satisfaction he would gain.
The only thing that could truly hurt him was the feelings between her and Mr. Q.
After all, for a person without emotions, that kind of blow was a “critical hit”!
“Even if you used despicable means to achieve your despicable goal, he will still have my heart. As long as our hearts are together, it doesn’t matter whether we have a marriage certificate or not. Your victory is nothing but a joke!”
Flossie’s words were like a merciless slap to Halston’s face…
“Yes, a joke…”
Halston sneered coldly, then grabbed Flossie’s wrist and mocked, “But so what? At least I fought for it. At least I’m not a coward like you. You want it, but because you’re a coward, you would rather miss it!”
“How am I a coward?! Are you saying that I’m a coward just because I didn’t choose you? You’re so full of yourself!”
Flossie wanted to break free from Halston’s grip, but he gripped her even tighter. He forced her to look him in the eye and said, “Then look me in the eye and tell me that you married him because you love him!”
“You’re funny. Why should I do as you say? Who I love or don’t love is none of your business!”
Flossie gulped uncomfortably. She did not dare to look him in the eye. She kept stepping back like a defeated army.
“I thought he’s your true love? Since he’s your true love, then announce it to the world! Why do you hide it? What are you feeling guilty about?”
Halston slowly backed Flossie into a corner. Then, he said from a commanding and absolutely dominant position, “Or are you lying? You know very well that you don’t love him. That’s why you can’t lie to me, and more than that, you can’t lie to yourself!”
“You’re wrong!”
Flossie had no more room to retreat. However, she was naturally rebellious. She suddenly raised her head and looked him in the eye bravely. She gritted her teeth and said, “Listen up. I married Mr. Q because I love him. That’s the only reason. When I’m with him, I can get the happiness I want. Even if I have to make the choice a thousand times, I would choose him a thousand times!”
“So, if you’re a real man, file for divorce with me so that I can be with him!”
Her last sentence was simply too cruel. It killed off every shred of Halston’s dignity!
She did not want it to get this ugly, but since it’s come to this, she had to do it or he would never let her go.
“So that you can be with him? Hah!”
Halston’s eyes were extremely cold, like the eyes of the Grim Reaper himself. He spat out, “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. You see, that man is in hell by now. If you want to be with him, you’ll have to wait until your next life!”
“W-What do you mean by that? What did you do to him?!”
Flossie had an ominous premonition. She grabbed his arm with trembling hands and asked.
“I mean it in the literal sense of the word.”
An sinister smile broke out on Halston’s face, like the smile of Satan. He said slowly, “To tell you the truth, I castrated him. He can’t even be considered a man now, so you should give up your fantasy, forget that he ever existed and stay with me.”
“You castrated him?”
Flossie shook her head in disbelief. “That’s impossible. There’s no way you can lay a hand on Mr. Q that easily!”
Halston snorted disdainfully, “Four years ago, I could destroy him and make him live like a worm. Four years later, I can castrate him and make him less than a man…”
“If I hadn’t, how did the important documents you gave him end up in my hands? How did you end up marrying me instead of him?”
While saying that, he calmly opened his package.
It contained the crucial documents Flossie gave Mr. Q and Halston’s copy of the marriage certificate.
“Maybe…”
