Dating for seven years, my boyfriend Julian Vance never wanted to go public with me. But on Thanksgiving, he unprecedentedly sent me an invitation. Inviting me to attend his Family Gala. I was overjoyed, ran through several malls to buy a suitable door gift. But the moment I opened the gate of the Vance family villa in The Hamptons, I saw Julian lying on the belly of the woman beside him, listening to fetal movement. Surrounded by neat and tidy Vance family members. The woman saw me first, smilingly pushed away Julian's head, came over to pull me: "Oh, came so early." "Introduce to everyone, this is the Doula I newly found, Sarah." ... The moment Julian looked up and met my eyes, the smile froze on his face. From his shocked expression, I clearly realized, It wasn't Julian who invited me today, but the woman beside him. Even the dress on me, exactly the same as hers, was her handiwork. The woman looked at Julian's expression, said with interest: "Julian should recognize this Doula, right?" Julian's hand shook, almost knocked over the tea cup at hand. This panicked and helpless look forced me to face reality, I was the "Third Party". Even invited to home by his wife personally to be humiliated in public. "Should be a new intern in our department, not too familiar." Julian explained awkwardly. Seven years of relationship, turns out I am just a not too familiar colleague. Julian face gloomy, scolded me angrily: "What are you doing running here?" "Usually not attentive at work, privately fawning on leaders you have a set." "Hurry roll (get out), I don't buy this." Simple few sentences cleared himself clean. People present showed contempt to me one after another. "Running to others' home on Thanksgiving, wearing same clothes as others' wife, what heart is this." "Don't know if her dress is rented or tax deduction." "This kind of cheap girl even wearing real goods looks fake." I haven't recovered, the woman pulled my hand gently said: "Everyone don't say a little girl like this, Julian you are also true, why so fierce to girls." Saying pulled me to dining table, but only let me stand with servants behind her. She held my hand sighing: "Little girl's hand is really tender, no wonder men like." Immediately spat a mouthful of phlegm in my palm. The disgusting sticky touch in palm couldn't match the shame in my heart at this moment. And Julian watching all this happen didn't say a word, Turned head to chat with his sister. His sister didn't know when already opened the gift bag I brought, tone exaggerated: "My god, this is Dior style from several years ago right, this thing still someone buys?" "Eh, this style looks like for my mom." "Damn, you wouldn't really harbor thoughts of pleasing the matriarch to ascend as Vance family daughter-in-law right." "Trouble you see clear your own identity okay." People in the room burst into laughter. My brain completely crashed, only left dense stinging pain in heart. I fled under excuse of washing hands, but got lost in Vance family garden. While looking for exit, I received a call from Julian. Didn't expect before I got angry, Julian scolded me first covering head covering face. "Sarah where did you find my home address? Still wear same clothes as Giselle to provoke her? You really have ability." "I warn you, Giselle is a very kind and beautiful girl, don't you think about hurting her, otherwise I..." "Why lie to me." I interrupted him asking back. Julian paused, indifferent said, "I didn't lie to you, just didn't tell you Giselle's existence that's all." "Besides, I did this wasn't it because didn't want make you sad?" "Afraid I sad, so hid from me having family and children with others?" Told me DINK (Double Income, No Kids), non-marriage, unwilling to publicize personal relationship, But behind my back had wife, children, family happy and harmonious. I even started doubting if he really had feelings for me in these seven years? Or just treated me as a tool for relief. "I can't explain clear to you this person, I let your mom talk to you." Said then hung up phone on his own. Again like this, every quarrel he would push me to my mom. Even too lazy to say one more sentence of explanation. And my mom thinks Julian is rich, as long as I don't break up with him, she has no objection even if he beats me to death. Actually, acquaintance between me and Julian originated from an accident. That year me and brother graduated high school together, Mom for letting brother go to expensive third-tier college, Wanted me give up going to New York University (NYU). In restaurant I angry to crazy, hysterically quarreled with my mom, Finally even fainted because heart attack. Moment consciousness about to dissipate, I heard Julian's deep voice. He told me he is professional cardiac surgeon, let me not worry, hand everything to him. In blurred consciousness, what I smelled was the extremely nice woody scent on him. During three months hospitalization, I truly knew this Dr. Vance. Wearing white coat he was both careful and professional, To elderly who don't understand pharmacology, illiterate, he would explain patiently, To anxious, irritable patient families, he would also use simple easy understand explanation make them relieved. Often neglected at home me, fell in his care, My heartbeat accelerated again, Just, this time seemed because of heart moved. I never chased anyone, only could under guise of thanking savior, Send Thank You Cards, flowers, various novel small gifts to Julian. In the gap year after discharge, I also often found excuse go hospital find him. Even for him, applied for medical major. But Julian was dull, until colleagues around reminded him, I seemed like him, he then startled. I till now can't forget, the day we got together, I holding health tea I boiled myself outside operating room, waited him more than ten hours, Wait him finish that most important surgery for his career, first one say congrats to him. Julian came out from operating room, saw was me squatting on ground, holding health tea slept dead. He gently picked me up, face was indescribable tenderness. "Sarah, let's be together!" I that time excited to forget self, forgot ask him. Being with me, exactly is like, or moved. Just now think, probably moved more than like. While thinking wild thoughts, a white figure flashed in front of me, comer is Giselle. "Sorry Miss Giselle, intervening you and Julian not my original intention, when I was with Julian, didn't know he had wife." I said full of apology. She however light laughed, tone relaxed: "Just a foot washing maid, what I have good to care?" "You wouldn't think I invited you today is to give you a show of strength right?" She laughed exaggeratedly: "Oh my god, you look up yourself too much." "I just heard Julian say your business good, really wanted let you come take care of our baby." "And I also quite curious what that hate-to-marry little fan girl in his mouth looks like." "Just seeing today, seems also just so so." I clenched fist, coldly interrupted her. "Oh, since like this, then I indeed have nothing good to apologize, Doula you please hire someone else." Said I turned want go, she however called me, wrote me a $500 check. "Today's wage, don't let people say Mrs. Vance renege on debt, but correspondingly." She handed over a bill. "During time you and Julian together spent are our couple joint property, now also please you return them all." I looked at bill detailed to a bottle of water, a condom, couldn't help bitter smile. Turns out every penny he spent on me was carefully calculated. "He sent me things, I all returned gifts of equivalent value." "If want calculate, does he also have to return those gifts." She contemptuously smiled: "Sure, if you can get receipts of all things." They just certain I loved Julian, never would care about giving, more impossible keep receipts. But Julian clearly knew my family background not good, university tuition and living expenses all saved by my own part-time work. Yet deliberately used thing I care most to ridicule me, bill crumpled in hand. Giselle still continued: "Might as well tell you a fact, me and Julian knew each other after you met." "But so what? Still not hinder I am the main wife." "And you, even wore same clothes as me, loved same man, others also will feel you are stolen." I angry whole body uncontrollable trembling, gritted teeth squeezed out a sentence, "Qing Dynasty fell no one notify you? Still main wife." "Just a rotten cucumber, only you treat as treasure, I don't want." But panicked footsteps still betrayed me, Giselle's arrogant voice with laughter sounded behind: "Exit is over there." I embarrassed turned back again. But walking walking suddenly walked into a path carefully decorated. Various colors fresh flowers neatly stacked on both sides of road. Hand folded paper cranes hung full branches. Even have fireflies captured from unknown where flying in flowers. My heart uneasy, finally when walked to end of path, "Bang" a sound, fireworks exploded over my head. Julian pushing cake, behind him were Vance family members and business partners holding various gifts. Whole garden dressed up like Alice in Wonderland. Everyone saw comer is me, all stunned. Julian even more impatient said: "Why is you, why haven't you left?" A reporter came to shoot asked, "Who is this?" Julian faintly replied: "Irrelevant person." I embarrassed wished find a crack in ground drill in. Before I awkwardly exit, Giselle walked out from behind me. She pretended surprise: "Wow, these all prepared for me?!" Julian face just irritable now only left full tenderness: "Yes ah, happy birthday to my baby, our Vance family greatest hero!" People around smiling stepped forward send blessing, and I squeezed to side most corner. Watching such warm picture, I suddenly remembered. Start from fourth year of relationship, Julian became very cold to me, even often not return night. I thought he work busy, specially on his birthday, personally learned make cake send to hospital give him. He however because my sudden visit without advance notice exploded rage. Smashed whole cake on me said: "This is hospital, not your home." "Celebrating a birthday want everyone cooperate you, where you come so big face ah?" "Don't lose face here, hurry roll home for me." But now for Giselle birthday, he not hesitate invite all business partners, invite whole city reporters. Giselle under Julian urging, face full happiness closed eyes make wish. Man lowered eyes look her bottom of eyes is unmeltable tenderness. Completely different from that high above look when looking at me. I sneered, just want silently exit garden, heard Giselle scream out. "Julian, Vance family heirloom Emerald Necklace missing!" "Today come here all own family, except..." Everyone's sight followed Giselle gaze look at me. "This woman when came today wore same clothes as Mrs. Vance, also fawns on Mother Vance, afraid not really stole necklace delusion replace Mrs. Vance right?" "Sigh, Mrs. Vance just heart too kind, always thinking help poor students, but don't know current little girls, you first second spend money sponsor her, she next second take money hook your husband go la." "Tsk tsk tsk, looking quite fresh a little girl, how is this look." My hair stood up, hurry explain: "Not, I didn't."

Giselle bean big tears rolled from cheek: "Julian, you clearly know how much I treasure this heirloom necklace, how could I casually lose." "Are you questioning me for her now?" Julian immediately panicked helpless, hugging her coaxing. Giselle not buy it, forcefully pushed him away. "I also don't slander her, have or not, search her body then know." Julian busy nod, cold voice called bodyguards. Next second, few bodyguards dead pressed me on ground, in front of everyone started tearing my clothes.
