After Dereck’s live-stream of the viral Society Shake dance, he became an internet sensation. But what made him even more famous was his scandal.
Everyone knew Dereck loved his wife, but still desired another woman—Claire Delmont.
That day, his stunning manager, Claire, sent me a text message.
[Want to see firsthand how your husband pampers me?]
She sent me the location and despite feeling betrayed, I followed her.
When I arrived, I heard Claire playfully said to him, "Be gentle, don't hurt the baby."
Later, Claire posted a social media update.
[Just spent New Year’s Eve at Piapia Hotel—absolutely perfect! Happy New Year, everyone!]
As soon as she posted, the comments section was immediately flooded.
[So sweet! Happy New Year!]
[What a thrill, celebrating the New Year with love!]
That year, I also became pregnant.
Dereck thought he was amazing, imagining he had a double blessing.
But when he learned he had been diagnosed with azoospermia, he grabbed me by the neck and demanded, "Whose bastard are you carrying?"

A Year Ago
Dereck introduced me to a mature and seductive woman.
"This is my new manager," he said.
Before the Society Shake trend exploded, Dereck had been a handsome dance influencer. Then, he switched tracks and jumped into the Society Shake craze, all on Claire's suggestion.
People mocked his outdated moves, not realizing that the more they ridiculed him, the more famous he became.
With over a hundred thousand viewers per night, he became the undisputed king of TikTok.
In front of countless livestream cameras, the chemistry between him and Claire was blatant, as if they were publicly flaunting their flirtation.
The bigger Dereck’s fame grew, the more people knew about their scandal.
When I confronted him, he nonchalantly dismissed my concerns.
"It's all just publicity stunts. Don't take it seriously."
Then, he leaned in, caressed my face, and said, "If you need money, I'll transfer some to your account. Be good, and find something to keep yourself busy."
He coaxed me as if I were just a petulant child.
Because I trusted him, I tried to convince myself not to overthink things.
That day, the livestream team hosted a New Year’s Eve party.
I went there specifically to pick him up.
But instead of finding my husband, I received Claire’s message.
[You're really something, holding on to this marriage. What help can a housewife like you offer him?]
[I suggest you hand him over to me. Only I have the right to stand by his side!]
Ten years of marriage, yet a stranger mocked me like this.
When I didn’t respond, she sent more texts.
[Why not come see for yourself how your husband pampers me?]
[I know how to cater to his desires, how to make him crave me. And you? You don't know anything, do you? You’re just a boring woman!]
Ignoring her messages, I walked into the livestream prop room.
From several meters away, I could hear their brazen voices.
Claire clung to Dereck, arms wrapped intimately around his neck, her lips curved into a smirk.
She teased, "Be gentle, don’t hurt the baby."
Dereck chuckled softly. "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful."
Each movement of his body was like a sharp blade stabbing into my heart.
"Dereck, when will you divorce that woman?" She pouted, her eyes filled with urgency and desire.
Frowning slightly, Dereck replied helplessly, "Give it some time. You know how busy I’ve been lately."
She wriggled closer to him, whining, "I can’t wait any longer! Only when you divorce her can I openly call you my husband."
"She can’t have children anyway. Once our baby is born, let’s just call her the godmother," she said with a smug grin.
