I ignored Leo, dragging my suitcase and leaving resolutely. After I left, Leo knelt on the floor, despondent, for a long time. Finally, he pulled out his phone and called Chloe.Â
When she answered, he spoke without hesitation. “Chloe Meng, let’s break up! Let’s neverÂ
see each other again.”Â
Chloe paused, then her voice grew agitated. “Why? Leo, is Skylar forcing you? Is she giving you a hard time?”Â
“No, it’s my decision.” Leo choked, speaking haltingly. “Chloe, we were just a fling. I have a family, a wife… Our relationship was a mistake. Let’s cut our losses.”Â
“Why…” Chloe sounded incredulous, her voice trembling. “Leo, didn’t you say you loved me? Why is being with me a mistake now? I’ve loved you for so many years, given you so much. I never thought we were just a fling!”Â
“Enough, stop talking!” Leo cut her off impatiently. “You don’t want it to be a fling? Do youÂ

actually want to be my wife? Chloe Meng, let me tell you, my wife will always be Skylar, and it will never be you! Skylar won’t tolerate you now, and I can’t be with you anymore! Let’s cut ties. Don’t ever bother me again!”Â
Chloe couldn’t accept it, pleading humbly, “Leo, please don’t break up! I love you, I can’t live without you…”Â
Leo hung up on her directly.Â
My overseas assignment application had been approved, and I was busy preparing my immigration paperwork. To settle everything in the country quickly, I was constantly busy before leaving, with little time to dwell on the past. I stopped going home and blocked all of Leo’s contact information, completely erasing him from my world.Â
One day, as I was leaving work, I unexpectedly saw Chloe. She blocked my path on the way out, her expression sinister, her eyes bloodshot as she demanded, “Skylar, did you force Leo to break up with me? You already have his status as his wife, why do you need to strip me of my right as his mistress? I already made a concession, willing to share Leo with you! Why are you still so aggressive?!”Â
Her words struck me as utterly ridiculous. “Chloe Meng, I’m not as generous as you. I’m not willing to share a man with another woman. I want a pure marriage, a lifelong, exclusive bond. No room for infidelity! Besides,” I looked at her with contempt, a cold sneer on my face, “I’ve already filed for divorce from Leo and chose to walk away myself! It’s *him* whoÂ
can’t let go of me! What if your love is so deep? He never loved you, not really. You were just a fleeting thrill, a temporary plaything!”Â
“You’re lying!” Chloe’s face turned deathly pale, suppressing her rage. “Leo clearly loves me! No one in this world loves him more than I do! It’s you! You must have forced him!”Â
With that, she suddenly pulled a fruit knife from her bag and, her face twisted in aÂ
grotesque mask, lunged at me.Â
“Skylar, only when you’re dead can Leo truly be mine!”Â
My heart leaped in alarm, and I immediately dodged her. Chloe pursued me, wildly brandishing the knife, her face contorted like a distorted painting, constantly muttering, “I’llÂ

I was terrified and took off running. In the nick of time, a furious roar echoed behind me. “Chloe Meng, if you dare touch her, I swear I’ll make you pay!”Â
