Chapter 76

"Fucking relationship?" Adrienne's mouth went dry as she absorbed the venomous words escaping Ryan's lips.

The man standing before her seemed like a stranger, his aggressive side unmasking itself for the first time.

"I have made countless sacrifices for you, only to find out you've been cheating on me," Ryan seethed, his voice heavy with betrayal.

Adrienne's mind raced, desperately trying to piece together the fragments of their crumbling relationship.

"Ryan... you pushed me," she uttered in disbelief.

A dismissive scoff escaped Ryan's lips as he averted his gaze.

While his attention wandered, Adrienne seized the fleeting opportunity to rise from the floor.

"Why did you push me?" she asked through a tremor in her voice, the pain infused in her words palpable.

Ryan's response cut through the air with a bitter edge.

"Why did you cheat on me?"

Blood rushed to Adrienne's head as she vehemently defended herself.

"I have never cheated on you, Ryan. Never."
