I never thought my husband, Jerry, would get down on his knees in front of me and beg me to sleep with another man for a night.

It was my birthday and Jerry came home early.

I went up to take his jacket, but Jerry suddenly took my hand and said, "Nance, will you do me a favor?"

I froze, smiled faintly, and said, "I'm afraid I can't help you. I have become incapable of staying at home these past few years.

"No, you can, only you can." Jerry said quickly, "My company is in trouble. You have to help me."

I looked at him, puzzled, "What do you want me to help you with?"

"Please sleep with a man for one night. Just one night." Jerry's words shocked me.

I didn't expect him to say something like that.

"Why would I agree to do that?" I pulled my hand out of his, turned my back on him, and questioned him coldly, "Jerry, I'm your wife, how could you let me do this?"

"You also know I have sexual dysfunction. We haven't had sex since we got married. But you have to understand me. The company is the only property of the Lu family. I can't let it go bankrupt." Jerry took my hand and dropped to his knees again.

I turned to look at him incredulously and slapped him hard. He dropped to his knees without pride.

When I saw the tears in his eyes, my heart, which had been so determined, softened.

I had been married to him for three years, but we had never had sex. In these three years, he had been very good to me and to my family.

When I saw him abandon his dignity and kneel in front of me, my heart ached, so I finally nodded reluctantly.

It was pathetic that on my birthday Jerry let me sleep with another man as if I were a gift.

Jerry happily stood up and put the hotel room card on my hand. I looked at the groom card in silence, squeezing it hard in my hand.

"Thank you for helping me this time." said Jerry.

I faintly wipe away my tears then push him away. Only Jerry, the idiot, would let his wife sleep with someone else.

Then he drove me to the hotel. When I got out of the car, I checked my phone and found it was now 10:30 pm.

"Don't let me down." said he.

I was silent and didn’t look at him.

Then he drove away. I watched his car plaintively, feeling sad for a long time.

I was on my heels, wearing a long purple dress with the amethyst necklace on my neck. It made me look even more attractive, but I wasn't happy at all.

"Do I really have to sleep with a strange man? Maybe I will lose my dignity completely." I hesitated.

As the elevator doors opened, I looked at the yellowish light, but I never wanted to walk out of the elevator.

I finally convinced myself to be with that man for Jerry. He hadn't done his duty as a husband all these years, but he'd been good to my family. I couldn't stand by and watch his company go bankrupt and not help him.

I found the room and opened the door. It was dark and I was going to turn on the light as soon as I entered.

"Don't turn on the lights." A voice rang out. I froze and the door closed automatically. The room was dark. I couldn't see the man’s face in the darkness.

"Who are you?" I asked fearfully.

"Keep silent, and stand where you are." That voice sounded again. The room was extremely hot and stuffy from the lack of air conditioning.

Suddenly, my hand was pulled into the arms of a man. I panicked and tried to push him away, but he held me very tightly. He forced me into a corner, and then his hand stroked down my cheek to my collarbone.

"Please don't touch me." I shuddered and said.

"You didn't know what to do before you came here." The man whispered in my ear in the darkness.

I closed my eyes in silence, humiliated. Tears streamed down my cheeks. Before I could react, his cold lips kissed my lips quickly.

“You can still leave here if you regret it now." his kiss stopped at my ear and whispered.

I shook my head and said with a choke in my voice, "I can't leave."

"That’s good." he said immediately. Then he pulled my dress off gently.

His hands touched my breasts tenderly, his hot lips kissing my neck. Suddenly, he lifted me across his arms. I shrieked and clung to him unconsciously.

I'd never experienced anything like this before, so I was a little panicked. He placed me on the bed and then his hot body was on top of me.

Suddenly, my legs were spread apart, then something hot went against my lower part of the body, and I subconsciously held him tight.

Then he put his…. into my **.

It was daylight when I woke up. I felt enervated. Then I got out of the bed, and I found the man had already left.

I could have refused him, but I didn’t. I tried my best to please him last night. Now I felt ashamed.

I realized that Jerry owed me three years of sex. As a woman, I need that kind of love between man and woman.

Last night's sex with that man was actually a release of my desire for love. I realized that I also had such wild and lascivious behavior.

How pathetic I was. I got my sexual satisfaction from a strange man.

As I picked up the clothes from the floor, my legs went numb suddenly and I fell onto the carpet. At this moment I had the urge to cry.

Jerry called to tell me that I had done well yesterday. He said that the Weisi Group had invested in his company and his company’s crisis was over.

On the phone, he was so happy and talked about the future of his company, but he didn't say a word about last night, and he didn't ask me how I felt.

After I hung up the phone, I cried. I angrily tore at the long purple dress. I bit my lips hard until the blood ran in my mouth. Then I slowly walked into the bathroom, climbed into the tub, and took a shower bath. After I walked out of the bathroom, I noticed a piece of paper on the bed.

I picked it up and looked at it. There was a phone number written on it.

I guessed that I made the guy so happy last night that he wanted me to keep his number. He may think that he can ask me for another one-night stand next time.

I was so angry and I just tore the piece of paper to shreds.

When I got home, I was in the bathroom showering over and over again. I tried to wash away everything that had happened to me last night, but I realized I couldn't wash it away at all. The hickeys of that man were on my body, and the special smell of his body was so clear in my mind.

Jerry still came home late that day. He still went to Yelan Club as usual and came back drunk.

He went back to my room to find me, then came to the balcony, hugged me from behind. Then he put his face on mine and said, "Honey, I'm back."

I stood on the balcony quietly, not wanting to say a word.

"What's wrong?" He whispered.

He put his hand on my waist for the first time and then his hand kept touching me until my chest. When he wanted to kiss me, I stopped him. I glared at him and asked sarcastically, “After I had a one-night stand with others, you’re interested in me?"

Jerry pulled his hands back.

"You sure did well last night. You endured three years without sex. I bet you enjoyed last night's one-night stand, didn't you?" he said.

I raised my hand and tried to slap him, but he squeezed my wrist, "Nance, since you help my company, I don't care you sleep with other men. Even if I’m not interested in your body, I don't want other men to have sex with you."

"You F*ck, why did you make me do this?" I yelled at him madly, "Jerry, how long are you going to torture me like this? Are you going to wait until I'm dead before you divorce me?"

Over the past three years, we'd been sleeping in separate beds, and he had been sleeping in the guest room. I had repeatedly offered to divorce him, but each time he refused my request.

"I'm not divorcing you. My family needs a daughter-in-law. You wait a few more years.” Jerry said coldly. “Our marriage will end, but not now."

His words were like a sharp blade that pierced my heart.

Then he turned around and walked out of my room. I watched it all coldly, pulling my hair and screaming hysterically.

Ever since that night, I thought of that man sometimes. "Why did he **** **** to me with the lights off? Is it because he's ugly?"

I flushed at my foolish wayward thoughts. I knew I was too bored. After three years of marriage, I was good at nothing, except for the idle dreaming.

After the maid cleaned the villa, she came over to say goodbye to me whenever she was about to leave.

"Mrs. Lu, I've already prepared the meal. I'll leave if there's nothing else." She said goodbye to me like this every time, and I only nodded and continued to stand on the balcony, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of me.

Probably I was distracted. Only when my mother-in-law stood behind me for a long time did I knew she was there.

I turned and looked at her, and then with a smile on my face, saying, "Mom, why do you come here today?"

Yu Liu had always been arrogant. She was always mocking my background. She said I was a model and came from a bad background.

“Nance, Jerry is working hard every day, but you do nothing at home. Don’t you feel shame to enjoy all this?" Yu Liu taunted me every time she came over and every time I stood silently in the corner and accepted her sarcasm.

"I want to work, but Jerry won't let me go out." I retorted.

"Are you going to do your old job? Take off your clothes in front of everyone and show your body to them? If you don't feel shame, my family will feel shame for you." Yu despised my previous profession again.

I was angry and silently lowered my head. I knew my retort would have no use.

"Look at you, you're silent again. You always act like you're being bullied by me." Yu was angrier when I was silent. Maybe she thought that I ignored her by not speaking. In fact, I really didn't want to talk to her. In her eyes, I was just useless anyway.

Yu used her index finger to poke my forehead and scolded, “My family doesn't owe your family, but your family’s members are like debt collectors."

"Mom, please don't scold my family." I held back my anger and said.

"Your family has been using my family's money. The money your brother spent on buying a house and his marriage also came from my family. Why can't I say that?" Yu shouted.

Another reason I agreed to save Jerry's company was that I wanted to pay back the money my family owe to Lu family.

Then suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up and looked at it. The caller was Vince Yi.

I didn't know this phone number, but I felt like I had heard this name somewhere. I hesitated for a few seconds, and just as I was about to answer it, Yu snatched it away. She look at me, and then smirked.

She answered the phone and also pressed the speaker.

"Where are you?" the man asked.

My mother-in-law replied, "At home."

"Wait for me at the usual place." He returned.'

What old place? I didn't even know what he was talking about. Suddenly I remembered that night. Was he the man that had been there that night?

He must have had his cell phone number in my phone while I was asleep. The man was smart. It was as if he knew I would definitely tear up the piece of paper with the phone number on it.

I saw my mother-in-law glare at me hatefully. She threw the phone at me, hitting me in the chest.

"How dare you have an affair now?" She growled
