As Mars's words pierced through the fog of her thoughts, a startling clarity emerged, almost surreal in its intensity. For what felt like an eternity, she had nestled herself into the shadows of his life, the secret he cherished but never fully embraced. In her heart, Lydia had convinced herself of the authenticity of his affection, believing that the tenderness he lavished upon her was a true reflection of his feelings. After all, how could he treat her so gently if it wasn't real? Wasn't she special to him, even if society had labeled her the "other woman"?

But the crushing truth came crashing down upon her like a tidal wave, sweeping away the delicate illusions she had clung to for so long. Mars had always drawn a distinct line in the sand: a wife was a wife, and a mistress was merely a mistress. The bitter reality clawed at her insides, leaving her gasping for breath as she reckoned with the painful understanding of her role in his life. A wave of despair washed over her as thoughts of Autumn, Mars's wife, consumed her. Wasn't that child still a part of Mars, regardless of the circumstances?

The mere thought struck her like a bolt of lightning; she could already envision him showering that child with love and attention, something she felt would forever elude her grasp. The knowledge that he would likely prioritize his firstborn only deepened her feelings of inadequacy and resentment. What would Autumn do if she ever uncovered the truth? The image of Autumn's clenched jaw and forced smile haunted her, playing the role of the blissfully ignorant wife while Lydia bore the brunt of their twisted love affair.

The title of "the other woman" loomed over her like a dark cloud, a social pariah condemned to linger in the shadows, forever marked by this unholy entanglement. "Mars Wright, you've left me with no choice," Lydia declared, a fierce glimmer igniting in her eyes as she picked up the pen, extending it toward him with an air of finality. "Then sign it." Mars, lost in his own turmoil, continued to wail about his wife and child, his pleas echoing painfully in the empty room. Frustration bubbled within her, and in a moment of unrestrained anger, her hand met his cheek with a sharp slap.

"Sign this, and your wife and child will return to you." The room fell into a heavy silence, and for a fleeting moment, Mars's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he were a child who had just lost his way in a vast, unfamiliar place. "Really?" he stammered, his vulnerability evident. In that instant, his pale, handsome features stood in stark contrast to the desperation that clouded his eyes, creating a scene that tugged at the edges of her heart. Yet, Lydia felt no compassion for him. To her, men-especially those who could not elevate her status-were utterly worthless.

With Mars's one redeeming quality-his devotion-now stripped away, she felt no remorse about using him as a stepping stone to greater things. This was merely what he owed her. "Of course," she replied impatiently, her tone sharp as she urged him on. "If you ever wish to see your wife and child again, sign it now. Delay, and you won't even catch a glimpse of them." "Okay, okay, I'll sign!" Mars's eyes darted nervously over the paper, his hand trembling as he fought to scrawl his name. Frustration mounted as tears threatened to spill from his eyes. "Come on, stupid hand, write!

Why won't you cooperate?!" he muttered, desperation lacing his voice. "If Autumn doesn't return, I'll never forgive you!" Listening to Mars's mutterings, fixated solely on Autumn's absence, was the final straw for Lydia. With an exasperated click of her tongue, she strode over, grasping his hand firmly. She guided it, stroke by stroke, inscribing his name upon the paper, then added her own signature before shoving him away with cold indifference. Mars stumbled backward, losing his balance and collapsing onto the floor, landing amidst the scattered takeout containers that littered the ground.

Covered in remnants of their meal, he looked like a man utterly forsaken by the world. Lydia felt no urge to spare him a second glance. She scooped up the signed document, her mind already racing ahead to her next move. "Autumn..." "Where's Autumn?" Mars's mournful cries trailed after her, a haunting echo that lingered in the silence of the room. Lydia pursed her lips, muttering under her breath, "Go dream of your precious Autumn," as she yanked the door open with a forceful tug.

"Ah-" A woman stood just outside, and Lydia's sudden movement startled her, causing her to stumble back, nearly losing her footing on the stairs. Lydia frowned, peering down at her from the top step. "Who are you? What are you doing lurking around my house?" In that fleeting moment, Lydia's instincts kicked in. The woman was impeccably dressed, her bold makeup hinting at a vibrant personality-clearly someone who thrived on attention. What business could a woman like this have at Autumn and Mars's front door? Could she be yet another complication in Mars's already tangled web? "Are you...

Lydia Lopez?" Just as Lydia's defenses went up, the woman spoke her name, a hint of familiarity lacing her tone. Lydia narrowed her eyes, suspicion etched across her face. "Who are you?" The woman offered a faint smile, one that didn't quite reach her eyes. "My name is Hannah King." "Hannah King?" Lydia was on the verge of dismissing her when a flicker of recognition ignited in her memory. Her eyes widened as she scrutinized Hannah once more, disbelief washing over her. "I remember you.

You were that girl from college who was infatuated with Mars, weren't you?" Hannah had been unabashed in her pursuit of Mars back then. Yet, despite her relentless efforts, Mars had remained steadfast, never wavering in his devotion to Autumn. Thus, the love triangle remained a mere footnote in their lives, overshadowed by the unwavering bond of the main couple. Lydia had only learned of Hannah's infatuation when she stumbled upon a rather dramatic confession one day while searching for Autumn and Mars.

Hannah had chosen a moment when Autumn was conveniently absent, and Lydia, unable to endure the scene for more than a few seconds, had linked her arm through Mars's, declaring with a grin, "What are you still doing here, future brother-in-law? My sister's getting antsy waiting for you." Mars had looked as if he'd found a lifeline, immediately leaving with her. As Lydia had brushed past Hannah, she had caught the resentful glare directed at her, but at the time, she had simply smiled back, oblivious to the storm brewing beneath the surface.

Now, years later, she found it unbelievable that Hannah had made her way to Mars's doorstep. With a wary gaze, Lydia studied Hannah, her displeasure evident. "What do you want?" Hannah, undeterred by Lydia's hostility, replied coolly. "I just returned from overseas. I heard Mars has become a company CEO with a bright future ahead. I thought I'd drop by to congratulate him." "After all, I recognized his potential back in college. I knew someone as brilliant as him wouldn't remain hidden for long. And look, just a few years after graduation, he's accomplished so much.

He truly embodies the legend of our campus." Lydia could hear the admiration lacing Hannah's voice, and it only fueled her disdain. Crossing her arms, she shot Hannah a scornful look. "No matter how successful he is, it has nothing to do with you. Don't you have any dignity? He rejected you outright, yet you still chase after him. Years have passed, and you haven't changed one bit. Tsk, tsk." Hannah's lips curled into a smirk. "I don't think whatever is between me and Mars concerns you. What gives you the right to lecture me?" "Am I to assume you're here as his wife's sister? Or...

as his mistress?" Lydia froze, her heart racing at the implication. Instinctively, she glanced around, panic rising in her chest at the thought that someone might have overheard their conversation. Only after scanning the quiet street did she realize they were in a neighborhood of single-family homes, with no one in sight. Her reaction had betrayed her. Frustration boiled within her as she stomped her foot, glaring at Hannah. "What the hell do you want?" she snapped, her voice sharp. Hannah's calculating gaze flickered with amusement, as if she were savoring the moment.

Tilting her head, she feigned innocence. "Don't misunderstand me. I simply came here today to inquire about Autumn and Mars." "Did you know that Autumn already has another family somewhere else?" **Conclusion** In the wake of Lydia's confrontation with Mars and the unexpected arrival of Hannah, she found herself standing at a crossroads of emotion and ambition. The weight of her past choices hung heavily in the air, yet the clarity she had gained offered her newfound strength. The once suffocating guilt that had tethered her to a life of secrecy was now replaced by an unyielding resolve.

No longer would she be defined by her role as the "other woman"; instead, she was ready to reclaim her narrative. The sting of betrayal had transformed into a fierce determination to pursue her own happiness, even if it meant severing ties with Mars entirely. With the signed document in hand, Lydia felt a sense of liberation wash over her, propelling her toward the light she had long sought.
