Poor child with a bad mother, but she doesn't have any option. She wouldn't be there for him anymore.She dropped the meal at his table, planted a kiss on his forehead and rushed out for her appointment with Mr Albert. Didn't bother to check on Alex and Bella.Few hours later, she arrived a luxury boutique with Mr Albert. They halted at the receptionist desk."Caro, here's an official company card for you. Your name is on it as you can see. Enough money is inside, as much as four million dollars. I want to use the rest room. Please go ahead and buy everything you need." Mr Albert walked away."Four million dollars?" Caro's eyes rolled back into her head. she climbed upstairs to the women's section, following the receptionist directions.She stepped inside the room, eyes widening, breath catching. Gleaming chan

Caro being stressed enough already, decided to stop by her aunt's place, her mother's sister, Mrs Antonia Jacob.Immidiately she knocked on the door. Antonia opened last though she'd been waiting for her."Why are you here again? You shameless girl. And what did I hear you display at media house over Alex and Bella?"Caro stood frozen. Staring at her and lips shaking. "Aunt I think you should let me speak.""Shut up! You knew well that Bella's father is my business partner, and if he sees the stunt you played out there, he would terminate his contract with me, knowing you are my niece! How could you want to fight Bella, and Alex rescued the situation.""Aunt ....""Keep quiet. Now listen to me. You'll go back there and apologize to Alex and Bella, if only you want to stay in this house. Else..."Her daughter christable, surfaced through her back, striking me a disgusting stare, carrying the plate of food she was eating."I cannot apologize to Alex. Sorry.

Few days passed.Alex and Caro lived like strangers inside the house. She never stopped taking care of Henry. But no more wife duties for Alex. That morning, her fingers ran through her closet, searching for a suitable outfit to wear but found none. For the past five years she's been with Alex, he doesn't care about her. She couldn't even boast of one good dress, shoe or bag.Tears almost dropped out of her eyes. She swallowed hard. Bella had left that night after mocking her, Alex did nothing either. She needed to plan out a sweet revenge but how?On the spot, her fingers caught an old pink silky dress. A gift from her late mother. She fits it on her body, glaring at herself on the mirror. It didn't look new anymore but that could be a perfect one judging from her closet.Few days back, she had submitted her CVS in few companies waiting for a call back. Alex stopped her from working when they met, she accepted because she loved him but not any more!She's going back to her normal li

Then the front door swung open without knocking, and without shame not even fear.Bella walked in like she owned the place.Caro who's already ran down stairs waiting.Bella stood in the centre of the sitting room, glancing around the interiors like she was making sure Alex bought exactly her taste like she'd assigned him to.Her lipstick too red, heels too high for the hour, clutching designer bags and wearing a smirk like armor.“ Excuse me?” Caro said, stepping out from behind the counter. “What are you doing here?” Bella barely glanced at her and kept walking to her position. “ Relax. I’m not here for you.”“You don’t live here,” Caro said sharply, blocking her from walking further. “You can’t just barge in like this.”Bella tilted her head with exaggerated offense. “Why? Am I not allowed to visit my son anymore? Or check on my ex-lover? Or do I need your permission for that too?”The words slapped Caro with cold contempt.She straightened her back. “A mother doesn’t abandon her s

The words Alex had sent in her phone felt like handcuffs tightening around Caro's chest.'There is no divorce. You belong to me.'Just like that! Possessive.The words weren’t born from confusion or desperation. They came from certainty, from a man who never questioned his right to control.She scrolled up and read the line again, just above it. "I won’t give you what you asked for."Caro’s lips trembled. Not because she was shocked anymore but because those words struck a darker truth: he didn’t see her as a person. Not a woman, not a wife, not a mother. Just something he owned. A fixture in his home. A name on his lease. Someone to clean, feed, keep quiet, and stay.She swallowed hard and tossed the phone to the foot of the bed, where the photos still lay like pieces of a life she no longer wanted to remember.And then, just as she inhaled to steady herself, a sound echoed. The distant whirr of iron wheels dragging over tile.Her stomach dropped.Henry.He was coming.Caro quickly w
