He Described Sex with His Stepsister While I Had Pregnancy News

Chapter 1

At the dinner party, Alexander had his arm around my waist, chatting cheerfully with his business partner in German.

My hand rested on my belly, my heart full of the sweet secret I was about to share—after five years of marriage, we were finally going to have a baby.

Once they finished talking, I would tell him the good news.

After wrapping up business, Kruger changed the subject to Alexander's stepsister, Lillian. "...Lillian is such a goddess in bed. She can take all of me in her mouth."

Alexander smiled knowingly. "She has no limits in bed. We got a bit carried away with our games last night—the handcuffs left marks on her wrists, but she was still begging for more. I admit I lost control. This morning, she could barely get out of bed. Otherwise, she definitely would have shown up at tonight's party."

My heart stopped.

They didn't know that my aunt in Berlin had taught me German since I was little.

I understood every single word of their conversation.

I remembered this morning when I knocked on Lillian's door, wanting to invite her to the dinner party. Her voice sounded lazy as she said, "No thanks, I'm not feeling well today."

I had even asked with concern if she needed a doctor.

She laughed dramatically, then said to me in a sweet voice, "Eileen, you're so nice, but don't worry about me. You and Alex go ahead."

"Your wife is right next to you. Aren't you worried she'll overhear?" Kruger smiled and nodded at me.

I looked up, forcing myself to smile, and nodded back in greeting.

I asked, "What are you talking about? Sounds fun."

"Oh, Mr. Brown was telling me about the opera house in Munich," Alexander lowered his head and lied gently in English, "and some local culture."

"Honey, are you tired from standing? This business talk is boring. Why don't you go sit over there?" He pointed thoughtfully toward where the ladies were. "Don't wear yourself out just to keep me company."

I forced myself to stay calm, then walked toward the group of women with a smile on my face.

After I turned around, I heard Kruger continue in German, "So your wife doesn't understand German."

"Eileen!" The senator's wife greeted me warmly. "You're so lucky. The way Alexander looks at you—he treats you like a treasure."

"Yes," the banker's wife said enviously. "Still so in love after five years of marriage. He's so thoughtful with you."

I smiled mechanically.

My mind kept flashing back to the lipstick marks Lillian left on Alexander's cheek every morning, her walking around the house in revealing nightwear, and that one dinner when the three of us sat together—I was cutting my steak when I suddenly felt something brush against my calf under the table.

I looked up in surprise. Alexander was focused on his phone, while Lillian gave me an innocent smile. At the time I thought she'd bumped into me by accident...

I used to envy their close sibling relationship. Now I understood those were all traces of lust.

"Sorry, I need some fresh air."

I escaped to the terrace, my fingers trembling as I dialed Professor Hamilton's number.

"Eileen?" The professor's voice was surprised.

"Professor, about the Amazon rainforest international ecology research project... I accept."

"Really?" The professor's voice was full of delight. "That's wonderful! Your talent shouldn't be buried in the greenhouse of a wealthy family. But Eileen, you need to know—once you enter the research station deep in the rainforest, there's no cell service, and the conditions are pretty rough..."

"I only have one condition," I interrupted him, my tone resolute. "Classify my file as top secret. I don't want anyone—especially my husband—to find me."

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds. "Eileen, confidential status means you'll completely 'disappear.' Alexander will never be able to reach you again... Eileen, what happened?"

"He cheated," I gripped the phone tightly. "With his stepsister. I've decided to divorce him."

"What?!" The professor's voice shot up, full of anger. "That bastard! Your parents died saving him, and he dares to betray you like this!"

At the mention of my parents, my heart felt like it was being torn apart.

Years ago, they sacrificed their lives to save him from a shipwreck.

The professor's tone was firm. "Give me five days, and you can disappear completely!"

"Thank you, Professor."

Just then, a hand reached from behind and gently took my phone away.

My whole body went rigid. I slowly turned around.

Alexander stood there, moonlight outlining his perfect features.

He held the phone to his ear, while his other hand gently smoothed my wind-blown hair.

His lips still wore that usual doting smile, but his eyes were unfathomable, like dark currents beneath a calm sea.

"Who wants a divorce?"
