Chapter: Chapter 16: ChaosAnna walked in holding her husband’s hand. This was the first time he had ever held her in public like this—she never had a wedding. Excitement bubbled in her heart, feeling like the only woman in his world. Eyes trailed them, and she basked in the limelight— for two minutes—before a buzzing phone interrupted. Liam glanced at his phone and suddenly rushed outside to pick up the call. Anna sighed. Of course, the moment wouldn’t last long!“Finally, the street rat showed up,” Melisa taunted, giving Anna a condescending look. “I was worried you wouldn’t come.” She swirled the wine in her glass, barely hiding her jealousy. “But did you have to come dressed like the peasant you are? You are embarrassing Liam. Do you want people to think he doesn’t give you enough money?”“Good

Chapter: Chapter 15: No promises“Our CEO once said that an enterprise that has people’s hearts will never fail. I believe that your hotel is only financially strapped at the moment and will eventually pay back our loan.”“What do you mean?” Mr. Scott asked, puzzled.“There were moments in my life when I always wished someone would give me a second chance. I understand how it feels when you are at the end of your rope and the world seems to turn a blind eye to your struggles. I didn’t want you to experience that kind of desperation.”“Thank you for believing in me,” Mr. Scott said, and, for the first time since the video started, a genuine smile spread on his face. His hopeful voice filled the room as the video faded away until the screen turned dark.

Chapter: Chapter 14: MemoriesAnna clenched her hands tightly as her eyes stayed glued on the picture. That very image reminded her of that one time when she was still innocent and naïve. She grimaced as painful and embarrassing memories of that day crashed into her head. Memories she had worked hard to forget. These memories were part of the reason she decided to end her marriage. But that aside, she racked her brains but still could not come up with a solid reason as to why Mr. Scott was bringing up events of the past.The screen blurred for a split second, and when it cleared again, another footage popped up. This one showed the outside of the hotel. Under the heavy rain, a taxi pulled over, and a girl stepped out of the car into the rain. She exchanged a few words with the cab driver before the cab drove away. The girl walked into the premises under the rain without an umbrella, and it didn’t take long for her to be dren

Chapter: Chapter 13: Unexpected publicity.“Hey, isn’t that Mrs. Parker?” someone recognized Anna at once, and Anna’s plans of staying incognito were crushed just like that. Whoever recognized her was either a friend of Melisa, or someone who had a crush on Liam because the hostility in her eyes couldn’t be justified otherwise. “And why was she riding an Uber?”Was it a crime to ride an Uber now? Anna shook her head at their wild expectations and tried to block out their conversation. She knew nothing good would come out of a group of jealous women. How did she know they were jealous? It was written all over their faces.“Who said rich people can’t ride an Uber? I ride one too,” a fine young lady stuck up for Anna. “Besides, she’s really beautiful. I like her.”“Look at her,

Chapter: Chapter 12: Falling into his arms“Why are you blocking the entrance? The hotel staff here are so unqualified.” A fat man pushed Anna away, scrunching his nose as if he had seen a fly.The seductive woman in his arms smiled in approval, adjusting her strapless dress to show more cleavage. His hand slid down from her waist and ventured lower, and lingered on her hips before groping her butt. Satisfied with his performance, he turned around and tendered his invitation. He stepped aside to let the staff authenticate his card and but when Anna’s face came into view, rooted on the spot, totally struck by her beauty. He subconsciously pushed away his companion, ready to make a move on Anna.“All women nowadays want to curry favor with some big shots, yet do not put in any efforts,” His companion said, batting her eyelids at him when she noticed his eyes undressing Anna. She lowered the neckline of he

Chapter: Chapter 11: PlansAnna spent the rest of the day devising plans on how to beat Liam at his own game. This one cocktail party, or whatever party it was, would play a key role in the direction her life would take from now onwards. It could either make her divorce process cheap, easy, and faster, or it could make it lengthy, messy, and very expensive. Anyone in their right mind would choose an easier route, but it came at a price. A worthy price compared to the alternatives.Deep down, there was a teeny tiny piece of her heart that held hope that her marriage still had a chance. But the rest of her heart had been shattered too many times from years of neglect, together with her expectations that there was no longer a place to keep that love alive. Her heart was just a tiny fleck away from being completely frozen. But that tiny fleck kept giving her hope and encouraging her to press on, hold on just a little longer. Not to give
