My Wife Bust My Balls for Her Ex-boyfriend

Chapter 2

I was unconscious for what felt like a long time.

When I began to come to, I caught a glimpse of my former self.

Victoria and I used to be childhood friends.

Back then, when I had just arrived at the Sinclair family, I felt on edge, fearing that one wrong move would send me back to the orphanage.

Maybe my eagerness to please was too obvious, or perhaps my poor background made me feel out of place in their world.

In class, my classmates often humiliated me because of my situation, forcing me to do all sorts of small tasks.

I didn't want to cause trouble for the Sinclair family, so I swallowed my pride, but their bullying only grew worse.

One day, they tricked me into the bathroom. A group of them held me down, trying to strip off my clothes.

The leader sneered, "Harvey, I've never seen anyone as poor as you. Perfect, let's have some fun today."

They all burst into laughter.

Even though I could endure a lot, anger surged within me at that moment.

I suddenly broke free, using all my strength to escape their grasp.

But just as quickly, I was pinned to the ground again.

There were too many of them, and I couldn't fight back.

One of them had his hand on my pants, and I fought back tears, hoping this humiliating moment would end soon.

Just then, Victoria appeared.

She rushed into the boys' bathroom, startling the others, and threw off the one holding me down.

She helped me up and said firmly, "Orson, you're bullying a classmate again. Be careful, or I'll tell your dad!"

Orson was a bit intimidated by her presence, but with his friends around, he forced a response. "Victoria, we're just playing around. Don't meddle, okay?"

Victoria wasn't convinced. She shook her fist and threatened, "If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."

Remembering her reputation, they finally slinked away.

She turned to me, like an angel in disguise, and gently asked if I was hurt.

She patted her chest confidently and promised to protect me from then on, assuring me I wouldn't be bullied again.

It was likely at that moment that my admiration for her began to grow.

After that day, we gradually became close friends. On our way to school, our little group—me and my sister—expanded to include Victoria.

True to her word, Victoria never let anyone bully me again.

Later, there was an incident in the Sinclair family that forced me to stop attending school. As work became increasingly busy, my contact with Victoria dwindled.

I could only rely on others to piece together news about her, which provided some small comfort.

The next time we met was at a business dinner, and I instantly recognized her.

By then, I had made a name for myself in the Sinclair Group, yet seeing her still made me feel small.

She still had that fierce spirit, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

That night, she got drunk, unexpectedly kissed me, and even asked if I wanted to marry her.

I felt a rush of joy, and my excitement blinded me.

I didn't notice that when Victoria sobered up, regret and confusion filled her eyes.

I had finally married the woman I loved, and after the wedding, I devoted myself completely to her. Gradually, it seemed that she started to develop feelings for me too.

Just when everything appeared to be getting better, James suddenly returned to the country.

It was then that I realized Victoria's words that day hadn't been meant for me.

During the years I was gone, she had already fallen for someone else.

After James returned, everything changed.

Victoria began to ignore me, stayed out all night, and openly spent time with James at parties.

I waited, like a fool, hoping she might come back to me one day.

But today, I finally gave up.
