Preview · Chapter 1

The camera lens locked onto the two bodies tangled on the kingsized hotel bed.

The shredded white dress pooling on the carpet was the wedding gift I had bought my wife just a few hours ago. "Cassidy." A sharp laugh slipped past my lips. "Three years of dating.

You played the absolute saint, using faith and purity as your excuse to keep my hands off you, insisting I wait until our wedding night." I stepped closer. "Is this the grand honeymoon surprise you prepared for me?" The woman on the bed let out a piercing shriek.

She scrambled backward against the headboard, frantically yanking the crumpled duvet up to her chin.

The guy freezing next to her was none other than Asher, her university's precious golden boy.

I pinched the screen, zooming in dead center on their bloodless, panicstricken faces. "Don't stop on my account." My eyes never left the recording screen, my voice deadpan and smooth. "The Golden Boy and His Married Senior." "Keep going.

I'll personally direct this little graduation blockbuster for you." Chapter 1 The two figures in the room froze like statues.

Cassidy let out a shrill scream, frantically grabbing at her clothes to cover herself.

Asher moved faster, rolling straight off the mattress onto the carpet. "Keep going." My voice dropped to a deadpan, smooth drawl. "You two were going at it pretty hard just a second ago.

Don't stop." "I'll personally direct this little graduation project for you. We'll call it, The Golden Boy and His Married Senior." All the color drained from Cassidy's face.

Her jaw trembled violently. "Declan, please, just let me explain—" "Save it." I cut her off, pinching the screen to zoom in closer. "Let me grab a screenshot and pick a good filter first." "You are my wife, after all.

Gotta make sure you look stunning for the camera." Asher finally yanked his pants up. His eyes went bloodshot as he lunged forward, swiping desperately for my phone.

I sidestepped effortlessly and planted a solid kick straight into his chest. "Easy there, frat boy." I stared down at him sprawling on the floor. "Your senior here hasn't even paid your tuition for today's private lesson." Cassidy dropped to her knees, dragging the duvet with her.

Tears immediately spilled over her lashes. "Declan, it's not what it looks like… I just… I made a stupid mistake." "So you made a stupid mistake and fucked a college kid on the exact day we signed our marriage license?" A sharp scoff escaped my throat.

My thumb hovered over the screen, then firmly tapped Send.

The highres photo synced straight to her family's Facebook page, Asher's internal frat group chat, and most importantly, straight into the Instagram DMs of Asher's official girlfriend—the filthy rich one who drove a GWagon.

I attached a single caption: Congrats to the campus golden boy on his newest achievement—successfully unlocking the Married Senior side quest.

Notifications detonated across the room like firecrackers. Cassidy's phone rattled against the nightstand. She glanced down. The unread count had already blasted past 99+.

Pinned at the very top was a barrage of a dozen allcaps texts from her mother. The preview simply read: CASSIDY YOU SHAMELESS SLUT! Panic seized Asher's features.

His lock screen—a cheektocheek selfie with his sugar mama, Astrid—was currently lighting up with relentless incoming calls from his official girlfriend.

I reached over and generously swiped the accept button, hitting the speakerphone icon.

Astrid's piercing, hysterical screams instantly flooded the room. "Asher, you are fucking dead! My dad is pulling every cent of funding from your indie film!

Consider your pathetic career blacklisted!" I clicked my tongue against the roof of my mouth, shifting my gaze back to Cassidy. "Hear that?

Now that is how you professionally bust a cheater." Cassidy scrambled forward on her knees, her fingers desperately clawing at the hem of my trousers. "Declan, I'm begging you.

We can go home and talk about this.

Please, just don't blow this up—" "Home?" I leaned down, lightly tapping her tearstained cheek. "Which home?" "The dance studio you rented for Asher using my paycheck?

Or the little hotel you two check into every month?" I reached into my jacket pocket, pulled out a thick stack of printed bank statements, and slapped them hard across the mattress right in front of her face. "A fully loaded Alienware gaming rig, thirtyone hundred, last Christmas.

Limited edition collab sneakers, eight thousand eight hundred, this Valentine's Day.

Oh, and let's not forget…" I pinched the top receipt, a sleek black card statement. "The RitzCarlton penthouse suite.

Billed hourly, eight separate times, at nine hundred ninetyeight a pop.

And look at that—swiped right on my supplementary card." Cassidy's lips quivered, unable to form a single syllable.

I squatted down to meet her eye level. "Cassidy, do you want to know the most hilarious part of all this?

Just last month, I thought you were actually playing the good wife." "I was about to add your name to the deed of my penthouse apartment.

Thank god I didn't get around to signing the paperwork, or else I'd be handing over my real estate right along with my cheating wife." I stood back up, shifting my cold stare to Asher, who was still paralyzed on the floor. "Don't look so terrified, frat boy.

Your senior here takes great care of you.

Tomorrow, I'll have your frat president personally hand you an award—Toy Boy of the Year." Chapter 2 Asher's face cycled through sickly shades of green and white before he finally squeezed out a pathetic defense. "She initiated it!

She said you were frigid, so she…" "Oh?" I arched an eyebrow. "I'm frigid?" "Then you'd better book him an appointment with a urologist right now and get him a prescription for those little blue pills, lest he goes soft and can't even get off the bed later." I gave my phone a lazy shake. "I've got the HD video to prove it.

With your pathetic subthreeminute stamina, I'm afraid your title as the campus golden boy is going straight down the drain." Cassidy suddenly lunged forward, wrapping her bare arms desperately around my thighs. "Declan, I'm begging you!

As long as we don't divorce, I'll do anything you want!" I let out a slow sigh, reaching down to casually stroke her disheveled hair. "Anything?" She nodded frantically, clinging to the word like a lifeline.

I pulled out my other phone and dropped it right into her trembling hands. "Then call your mom. Put it on speaker.

Tell her exactly how much of my hardearned cash you've been blowing to keep your little toy boy fed." Cassidy froze stiff.

Tears hung precariously on her lashes, caught between falling and staying put. I thoughtfully tapped the contact for Mom for her.

The second the line connected, her mother's booming voice blasted through the speaker. "Cassidy, what the hell is that photo in the family group?!

Speak!" I looked down at Cassidy, a gentle, lethal smile curving my lips. "Go on, sweetheart.

Tell your mom." "How much tuition have you been transferring to Asher from my account every single month?" Cassidy trembled like a leaf caught in a hurricane.

On the other end of the line, her mother had already launched into a vicious, fullvolume tirade. Asher tried to use the distraction to slip toward the door.

I grabbed him by the back of his collar, jerking him to a brutal halt. "Running away?

We haven't even finished settling the bill." Her mother's roar detonated from the phone. "Cassidy!

Are you out of your damn mind?!" "Everyone in the family chat is saying you cheated!

Where the hell are we supposed to hide our faces now?!" "Mom…" Cassidy choked out between heavy sobs.

I kept the speakerphone on, making sure her pathetic, whimpering display was broadcast loud and clear.

I lifted the phone, speaking with a slow, unhurried drawl. "Motherinlaw, don't panic. I happen to have the full, uncut video right here." "Your daughter puts on quite a show.

Would you like a sneak peek?" Her mother went dead silent for two seconds before her pitch skyrocketed into a screech. "What video?! Declan, don't you dare spout absolute bullshit!

My Cassidy is the most innocent girl—" "So innocent she's hooking up with another guy on the exact day we got our marriage license?" I let out a low chuckle.

I started reading off the statement in my hand. "Let's see. February 14th of this year. 1800Flowers luxury boutique.

Ninetynine Ecuadorian roses, rush delivery, fifteen hundred bucks." I paused, letting the silence hang. "The note attached: Happy Valentine's Day, my sweet Asher.

Paid with a card ending in 7788. Which happens to be my debit card." The line instantly went dead silent. Asher's face turned a bruised shade of purple.

He lunged for the phone again, but I smoothly sidestepped his clumsy, desperate grab.

Her mother finally cracked, her voice breaking. "Cassidy… did you… did you actually do this?" Cassidy let out a gutwrenching wail, throwing herself forward to furiously jab the endcall button.

The second the call disconnected, the sharp, frantic clacking of stiletto heels echoed down the hallway outside. "Asher!

Get your ass out here right now!" I glanced over my shoulder. It was Asher's official girlfriend—the only daughter of the media mogul—Astrid. Thud.

Asher dropped to his bare knees right at Astrid's designerclad feet. "Astrid!!" he pleaded, looking up at her with wide, terrified eyes. "I swear I was tricked!

I had no idea!" Smack! Astrid raised her hand and delivered a vicious, ringing slap straight across his cheek.

Ignoring the stinging red handprint forming on his skin, Asher crawled forward, wrapping his arms tightly around her calf. "I swear I didn't know!

She kept crying and making a scene!

She told me Declan was physically abusing her, and I just had a moment of weakness!" "A moment of weakness that ended with you fucking her in a hotel bed?" Tears immediately spilled down Asher's face. "I fucked up!" "Astrid, you can hit me, you can scream at me, just please let me off the hook this once… Just think about the three years we've been together." Chapter 3 "You don't even have the right to talk about our relationship.

You make me sick!" Astrid turned her head, shifting her gaze to me. "Declan, thank you.

If it wasn't for you, I'd still be completely in the dark about this piece of trash." I gave a polite nod.

My thumb dragged the video progress bar right to the most explicit segment before handing the screen over to her. "Three minutes, full HD.

A little gift for you." Astrid's expression instantly flipped from sheer rage to cold pity. "Three minutes? And he has the audacity to cheat?" I raised my wrist, checking my watch.

Nine o'clock on the dot. I casually snapped a few more photos of the battlefield. "Declan, I messed up.

Please, just forgive me this once." Cassidy scrambled across the mattress. "Let's go home right now.

I'll be a good wife to you, I swear." "Too late." A cold smile stretched across my face, showing my teeth. "From here on out, we are going to take this nice and slow." The next morning, 8:30 AM.

I had just stepped into my office. [ Check TikTok! Cassidy's mom is doing a live stream! ] A colleague knocked on my door, leaning in. "Declan, get on the live stream.

Your motherinlaw is putting you on full public blast!" [ Mama Cassidy · Seeking Justice Live ] [ JusticeForMyDaughter StopTheCreep RevengePorn ] Well then.

Cassidy's mother was sitting there with oversized sunglasses, bawling directly into the camera. "Listen to me, everyone!

My daughter was secretly filmed by a sick, twisted pervert!" "He photoshopped these disgusting videos of her and posted them online to ruin her life!

I'm begging y'all, please help us get justice!" The viewer count was climbing past 30,000+. The live chat was scrolling at lightning speed.

On screen, she pulled out a thick stack of printed photos. They were the exact shots of the crime scene I had sent to the group chat last night.

But they had been heavily doctored—Asher was cropped out, leaving only a halfnaked Cassidy looking like a helpless victim. She aggressively tapped the photo. "It's him!

He secretly filmed her and photoshopped this to slander my baby girl!" "If he doesn't delete it, he's going to ruin her entire life!" Fueled by her twisted narrative, the clueless viewers instantly bought into the idea that I was some sick stalker.

They started ripping me to shreds in the comments. [ Don't cry, ma'am!

Drop his address right now! ] [ Let's crowdfund to send this creep to the hospital! ] I took a slow sip of my black coffee.

I pulled up my official, verified TikTok account: @DeclanTheLawyer. I tapped the screen and sent ten Heart of the Universe premium gifts.

Fullscreen animations instantly exploded across the stream, dropping me straight to the number one spot on the viewer leaderboard.

Cassidy's mother froze, her eyes wide at the massive shower of digital gold. "Thank you to the…" I hit the guest request button.

Blinded by the massive tip, she accepted it without checking the username. My voice broadcasted clearly over the stream: "Don't panic, Motherinlaw.

I actually have the full, uncut, highdefinition video right here." "Perfect for verifying if anything was photoshopped. Want it?

I can slide it into your DMs." The live chat flatlined before taking a sharp turn. [ Holy shit, is that the guy? ] [ Uncensored HD? Drop the link!

My eyes don't lie! ] [ I'm a veteran OnlyFans content reviewer. I've seen it all.

Send it over, let me be the judge! ] Her mother's face turned a shade of green that not even the heavy beauty filter could hide.

She reached out in a sheer panic to end the live stream, but her shaking finger accidentally tapped the 'flip camera' icon instead.

The background immediately shifted to my own penthouse living room. Right behind her sat the massive, framed wedding photo of Cassidy and me.

The chat exploded again: [ Wait, why are you standing in his living room? ] [ They're married?

Looks to me like she got caught cheating… ] I thoughtfully typed a single line into the public chat box and pinned it to the top: [ For the record, folks: My wife slept with another man on our wedding day.

Caught them redhanded in bed. I have the receipts. Feel free to screenshot. ] The live stream abruptly cut to black. She had ended the broadcast in ultimate humiliation.

The colleagues crowding outside my open office door erupted into applause. I snapped my laptop shut and pointed at my assistant. "Save the screen recording of that entire broadcast.

We're using every second of it as evidence for the lawsuit." Chapter 4 Ten minutes later, Cassidy's mother stormed into my law firm.

I slid a paper cup of warm water across my desk. "Motherinlaw.

Why'd you cut the stream short?" Her hands shook. "What exactly do you want?" I pulled out the divorce agreement and a fully itemized compensation list, dropping them right in front of her. "Sign the papers, pay the damages, and take your defective product back.

Your call." She lunged forward, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the hem of my tailored suit. "Declan, Cassidy just had a moment of weakness! A divorce is too shameful.

Let's drop this nonsense and go home, okay?" I leaned down, leveling my gaze with hers. "Tell me the truth, Motherinlaw.

What are you really having a hard time letting go of?" "The downtown penthouse you love calling ours, or the monthly allowance I wire straight into your checking account?" Her sobs choked off instantly.

Her face flushed a mottled, sickly red. "If you truly love your daughter," I continued, "why don't you front the tuition I've been paying for Asher over these past three years?" "Two hundred and seventyeight thousand dollars.

I'll even round down the change for you." Her lips quivered. "You… you're talking absolute nonsense!" I straightened up and jerked my chin toward the front desk. "Security.

Show her out." The frantic clicking of her heels stumbled down the hallway, fading into the distance.

I turned to my assistant. "Clip that security footage into a Legal Tip of the Day.

Title it: What MotherinLaws Really Miss—The Deed and the Debit Card, Not the SoninLaw." Back in my private office, I pulled out my phone and shot Astrid a text. [ My motherinlaw just finished her solo concert at my firm.

Tried to cancel me on a live stream this morning and ragequit in humiliation. ] Astrid replied instantly. [ Need my help? ] [ Sent you the video. Enjoy. ] [ Cool.

Drinks on me when you're off the clock. ] I held down the voice note button. "This time, I'm taking her for everything. She's leaving with nothing." The words hung in the air.

I paused, slightly surprised by my own coldness. A voice note buzzed back.

Astrid asked, "You sure you can let her go that easily?" I replied smoothly, "The only thing I can't let go of is my two hundred and seventyeight thousand dollar dating fund." A low chuckle came through the speaker. "You move on fast." I set my coffee cup down. "Not fast.

I just refuse to keep paying the rent and feeding another man's wife." Three years. Three years of honoring Cassidy's 'wait until marriage' bullshit.

I didn't even want to count how many silicone toys I went through to take care of myself. Looking back, it was pathetic.

Astrid's next message popped up. [ What about the downtown penthouse? ] I let out a sharp scoff. "The prenup is ironclad. It's my personal asset.

She won't touch a single red cent." I locked my screen, grabbed my keys, and drove back to the penthouse.

Pushing the front door open, I found Cassidy curled up on the designer sofa, hugging the cat. Her eyes were bloodshot and swollen.

I pointed a stiff finger straight at the entryway. "You have twenty minutes.

Pack your shit and get the fuck out." She dropped the cat and lunged at me, grabbing my sleeve. "Declan, this is our home!

Where am I supposed to go?!" "I've already listed the place on Zillow.

My realtor is bringing buyers over this afternoon to look at the property." She froze, panic flooding her features. "Then where do I stay?" I pointed out the floortoceiling window toward the cheap motel across the street. "Room 1314.

You know the way. Drop your name, they might even give you a loyalty discount." She broke into loud, pathetic sobs and dragged herself to the bedroom to pack.

I leaned against the doorframe, checking my watch. Twenty minutes later, Cassidy and her oversized suitcases hit the hallway floor. The heavy door clicked shut.

I walked back into her room and yanked her bedside drawer open. An unopened box of Trojans clattered onto the hardwood. I dug deeper. Hotel receipts.

Credit card slips for the penthouse suites. Plan B pills. And sitting right at the very bottom, a little black book logging every single one of her side pieces.

A cold laugh scraped my throat. "Turns out you're more thoughtful than I gave you credit for. You even filed the evidence for me
