Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

"It’s been five years since we got married. Have I ever lied to you?" Zachariah asked in a husky voice.

Ophelia looked away and replied, "Zachariah, we’re both angry now. I’ll spend the next few days with Tommy at Madeleine’s, and let’s talk about divorce again when we calm down."

Zachariah grabbed her hands and pleaded, "Ophelia, stop that. It’s my fault, and I can explain the situation to you. It has taken a lot for our love to get back on track. Do you really want to see our relationship break apart?"

Ophelia stared tearfully at Zachariah. Suddenly, she shook his hands off and shouted out all the grievances she had buried deep down inside all these years. She really got into the character, so much so that she almost forgot that she planned all this.

As the saying goes, "Repeat a lie a thousand times, it will become a conviction." Now, even she believed the lie she made up herself.

"I’m serious, Zachariah. Have you ever seen me make a scene during these five years? You said you like sensible women. Fine, I play the part of a thoughtful Mrs. Chamber well. You play around with other women. Fine, I turn a blind eye to it. You can’t forget about your old lover. Fine, I tell myself I’m simply a replacement for her. You pay no attention to your sister bullying me. Fine, I keep telling myself it’s all right. After all, we’re family. But have you guys really regarded me as your family? Savannah staged that car accident, but you just scolded her for a while and left. She’s still the beloved daughter of the Chambers family, but do you know how disappointed I am with your punishment for her? You have no idea how unjustly I have been treated during these five years. But that’s OK. I’m satisfied as long as you love me. But now I find that your love for me is also fake. How do you expect me to stay in the Chambers family? Tell me!" Ophelia roared.

Zachariah was stunned. He never expected Ophelia to lose control like this. However, her accusations cut him deep like a stagger.

He was guilty about it. He regretted having treated Ophelia so poorly for five years, and now it had become the greatest regret in his life. Now that Ophelia talked about them one by one, he felt even guiltier. If he had known earlier that he would fall in love with her, he wouldn’t have been so indifferent to her during these five years.

Seeing the sadness in Zachariah’s eyes, Ophelia regretted it too.
