📕My CEO wife announced with a star. I clapped loudest—she knew right then she was finished

📖 Story Synopsis: On our fifth wedding anniversary, I dressed to the nines, waiting for my CEO wife, Lilian, to announce our secret marriage at the banquet. But her crush, the top star Joseph, suddenly became the center of attention after a midnight scandal broke out — rumors of him having an affair with a young model. Under the blinding flash of cameras, Lilian held the microphone. She ignored my expectant gaze from the audience, and she ignored our five-year marriage. Without any regard for my feelings, she looked straight into the cameras and, word by word, announced clearly: “Joseph and I are indeed in love. I hope everyone can support his new project.” The moment she finished, the hall erupted — gasps first, then thunderous applause and cheers. Amid the roaring excitement, Joseph rushed onto the stage, pulled Lilian into his arms, and kissed her passionately under the spotlight. I became the most ridiculous spectator in the room. Around me, guests were buzzing with excitement about how perfect this “golden couple” was, completely unaware that the woman they called “his fated match” already had a legal husband — sitting right among them. It felt like an invisible hand had gripped my heart tight, suffocating me in an instant. But I didn’t cry. I didn’t lose control. I simply watched the pair on stage — radiant, embraced — and then, smiling faintly, joined the crowd of gossip-hungry onlookers. Together with them, I clapped, offering the most “sincere” blessings I could muster. The applause was crisp, rhythmic. Perhaps startled by that distinct sound, Lilian pushed Joseph away and looked through the crowd toward me. There was a flicker of surprise in her eyes — maybe even a trace of guilt. She probably thought I’d explode in anger, storm the stage, demand an explanation. Unfortunately for her, I didn’t. I simply raised my glass toward her, deepened my smile, and drained it in one go. Then, amid the thunderous cheers and blessings, I turned and walked out — for good. Lilian, from the moment you decided to use our marriage as a stepping stone for your lover’s career, there was nothing left between us but a reckoning.
