My lawyer also sent me the divorce papers. I
signed them and sent them to Mark.
But Mark refused to sign the divorce papers.
“Sarah, are you done yet? You’re being
dramatic, why are you being so insistent on a
divorce?”
I said calmly, “Will you sign it or not?”
“No!” Mark said, firmly. “I’m not going to divorce you!”
“Are you still jealous of Tiffany? We’re just co–workers, and there’s nothing between
us!”
I chuckled. “Nothing between you? I know Tiffany’s pregnant.”

Mark was quiet for a long time. “So that’s
why you want to divorce me?”
I replied “Isn’t that reason enough?”
Mark finally opened up, his voice low. “Sarah,
I really don’t love Tiffany. I just wanted her to
give me a son! You know how much it means
to me that my business has a male heir. And
you don’t want to have another kid. What else
was I supposed to do?”
“Don’t worry, I still love you the most, once she gives birth to the boy, I’ll immediately cut all ties with her. The kid can know you as his mom.”
I was so taken aback by this nonsense. “Mark, are you out of your mind? Do you
seriously think that what you just said makes
L
any sense? You cheated on me, just admit
it!”
“And by the way, do you even have a
company for your kid to inherit? I know your
business is in trouble! That was your excuse
for cheating on me!”
“Sign the papers! We’re done!”
Mark was clearly desperate. “Sarah, please
listen to me! I found new investors! Things
will be great! I really don’t want to divorce
you! Where are you? I’ll come and pick you up!”
I hung up, before I had a stroke. This guy was
a cheater who was trying to be a hero.
く
If Mark wouldn’t sign the divorce papers, then
I’d have to get help. And who would be a
better helper than Tiffany, who was now
desperate to settle down with Mark for the
sake of the kid?
I sent Tiffany the divorce papers, with one
line: “Get Mark to sign these. This is the only
way for you to move up.”
I don’t know what Tiffany did, but she sent
me a signed copy of the divorce agreement.

I was excited to be free, but also a bit curious
about why Mark had signed the papers.
I didn’t have to wait long, I found out on the
internet, on a trending hashtag.

#CEO Cheats, Employee Pregnant!
The video showed Tiffany forcing Mark to
sign the divorce agreement, but he refused.
Tiffany then broke down and yelled, hitting Mark and calling him a piece of garbage. She said that Mark was using her for a baby, and that he did not take responsibility for his actions. This whole debacle was caught on camera by investors, and they immediately rescinded their investment.
Mark had become an online villain.
Tiffany, my awesome helper, not only helped me get out of my marriage, but had just destroyed his company! If it weren’t so
messed up, I’d have sent her some flowers to celebrate!

The scandal was online for a couple of days
before they took it down. It did a lot of
damage to Mark’s reputation.
But what surprised me was that Mark found
out where I was staying and camped outside
the hotel, waiting for me when I went to get
some food.
He stood in front of me, crying. “Sarah! I
finally found you! Please, come back to me!” “I can’t live without you. I really can’t.”
I laughed. “Really? Looks more like you can’t live without being a successful business man,
or someone you can cheat on.”
Mark was caught off guard, but then he begged. “Sarah, please believe me, I just
wanted Tiffany to give me a son! I still love you! My heart belongs to you!”
I resisted the urge to vomit. “Just leave me alone, we’re divorced.”
Mark grabbed my arm. “We can get
remarried! Sarah, I know you still love me! You’re just jealous!”
I rolled my eyes.
Then, a taxi pulled up. Tiffany, noticeably
pregnant, got out.
She angrily pushed me and Mark apart. “Honey! You said you were at the office, why
are you with another woman?”
Mark pulled his hand away. “Tiffany, calm

down, Sarah’s not just another woman, she’s
my…”
Tiffany interrupted him. “She’s your ex–wife! You guys are divorced!”
She then looked me up and down. “Sarah, I can see right through you. Did you get divorced just so you could sleep with him?”
Tiffany got increasingly agitated, and before I knew it, she slapped me across the face.
I was so shocked, that I was going to hit her
back, but Mark stopped me because of the baby in her belly. “Sarah! Don’t do it!
Tiffany’s pregnant with my child.”
It was easy to forget. I still had another
present for Mark.

I pulled my arm away and smiled. “Mark, I
almost forgot, I have one more gift for you.
Mark’s face lit up.
I took a stack of photos from my purse and
handed them to Mark. “Take a look.”
Mark looked confused at first, but his face
changed as he looked at them.
The photos showed Tiffany with another man,
and they had gone to the doctor together for
an exam.
I stepped back. “I did a little investigating,
Mark. Tiffany’s kid isn’t yours. It’s her ex’s. Tiffany just wanted a rich man to take care of her kid, and she found you.”

“How does it feel to raise another man’s
child?”
