Fiona's pov The silence that followed was heavy enough to feel and for a second, even his thoughts stopped, like his mind refused to process what I had just said, and then they came rushing back all at once.'Divorce? From Phillip? That makes no sense. She loves him. Everyone knows she does.' I heard his thoughts loud and clear. "Uhm, please come with me to my office, let's discuss this." He said and immediately began walking back inside the building. I trailed silently behind him until we got to his office then gestured for me to sit down. “I need you to draft the papers,” I added as soon as I sat down. “As soon as possible.”He hesitated, and I could see the conflict in his eyes.“Fiona… are you sure about this?”'I don't believe her, at all, I think she’ll change her mind.' His thoughts were even louder than his normal speaking voice. “I’m sure.” I said plainly. He nodded slowly. “Alright. I’ll prepare everything.”While he worked, I sat there quietly, listening to the faint

Fiona's povI couldn’t tell if my mind was playing tricks on me or not. The moment I left the boardroom, I noticed I was hearing voices from people around me but I couldn't see their lips moving. "What the hell is going on?" I asked no one in particular as I hopped into my car, thinking I would get away from the voices. "She's playing a very dangerous game." A voice came. I jerked in panic. "Who was that?" I yelled into the car, searching around frantically. The voice had come from in front of me...more like it had come from outside the car. I looked around the parking lot. A man was walking past talking on his phone while a woman was loading what looked like large paperworks into her trunk. Not one of them was looking at me.I pressed my fingers to my temple, “I’m not doing this,” I mutter under my breath.Another whisper floats through. "If Duggerman finds out she orchestrated it…"I slammed my eyes shut. "Whoever this is, please stop this." I pleaded. When I opened them, the w

Fiona's povWhen I slid past the glass doors of Halbart and Rowe Finance Company, the receptionist was already awaiting my arrival. "We've been expecting you, ma'am." She greeted me with warmth. I returned her smile as she showed me to the boardroom...which I already knew but I allowed her to lead me instead...again. Inside the executive boardroom sat the same five men who had watched me outmaneuver Phillip in negotiations before. At the head of the table was Charles Halbart, silver-haired, and beside him, the ever-calculating Martin Rowe sat composed, while two analysts and the legal director completed the circle.I tried to appear as confident as I could. With a knowing smile on my face, I took my seat. "Gentlemen, I apologise for my tardiness, I got into a little..." Mishap," I said while bringing out the documents from the envelope I was with and handed them over. Charles took the documents, "We were really impressed with your proposal outline."I nodded slightly as I watche

Fiona's povI had rehearsed in my head how I was going to surprise Phillip, when I walked in smiling to tell him that I had secured the deal and the finance company had agreed to invest millions into his company. With my handbag clutched in one hand and my laptop tucked under my arm, my heart was so full that it almost hurt. I thought that afternoon would be one of the happiest days of our marriage.Instead, I saw my husband’s bare back and Amanda’s hair spread across my pillow. He held her in place while his sweaty back humped forward and backwards against her outspread legs. For a second my brain refused to process it. I just stood there, staring, as if I blinked they would disappear.The sheets were twisted around their legs on the bed that I had chosen in the store, the same one I had paid for when Phillip said cash flow was tight and he needed to reinvest. My chest tightened so violently I thought I might faint. I couldn’t scream, I just felt something inside me collapse. Phi
