Chapter: CHAPTER 50JOCELYN’s POV“How crazy are you going to be tonight?” Harvey asked with a laugh in the car that was driving us to the venue. We were one of the last people at the show venue and when I was leaving, Marcus and Daniel had left already.I shrugged and flicked my tongue. “I don’t even know. I have the desire to let loose tonight.”She laughed. “I admire your spunk. Someone that meets you for the first time will believe you’re so calm and reserved. Does your husband sometimes shake his head when you act like this around him? Oh, he’s coming right? With the other hot friend.”Don’t shrug, I hastily reminded myself. “I’m not sure. If he’s less busy, he’ll be there.” I responded.She sighed and leaned against the chair. “If I don’t see my husband for the next one month, do you know how happy I will be? If only he was half as handsome as yours. At least he’ll be easy to look at.” She whined but I rolled my eyes. She always spoke about her husband like that, but as someone that had witnessed t

Chapter: CHAPTER 49JOCELYN's POVI could have cried. Okay, maybe I was being dramatic but right now, it was like my mood had done a complete one eighty. After hearing the way the sponsors I’d always counted on had downgraded my effort, design, and practically the whole show, I’d been burning with fury because of how I’d felt after hearing them. But either way, now Marcus was making me feel so much better just with his words. I could tell how sincere he was from his face.For the most part, I didn’t need validation from others but for some reason, this one had stung. Perhaps because I was aware how many eyes were on me, waiting for me to fail. Or was it because Daniel had been there as they’d kept on talking. Whatever it was, right now, I felt so much better.“I’ll be sure to send you a personal invite next time. You can even come for the after party today. It’s more fun than business, but I think you’ll also have fun.” Because obviously, Marcus was someone that thrived on social interaction. It had take

Chapter: CHAPTER 47JOCELYN’s POVI weaved between racks of garments, checking each one for the assigned names as well as for tears. I was also making sure they were all steamed to perfection. Even the littlest crease would look so untidy under the professional lights.“Natalie, swap that shoe for the backup pair.” I instructed, as I caught the slightest tilt in the heel she was holding as she rushed past me, muttering something under her breath.Natalie nodded and without breaking her stride, went back the direction she had been coming from. My eyes went to the monitor for the timing and light cues as they practiced again. Because of the time shortage, they had been unable to practice with the models before today. As I watched, there was a micro lag, barely visible, but it had dragged with the music, changing the rhythm. My eyes darted to the soundboard operator. “Restart that track and keep it synchronized.”The models were beginning to file into their changing room with their outfits and a flash of m

Chapter: CHAPTER 46JOCELYN’s POV“I just spoke with the person in charge of the printing. How couldn’t you notice that error until it was this late? I said as I entered my office, slamming the door behind me. I listened to the response while shaking my head because like I’d expected, it was all just excuses. I massaged my brows.“All you’re giving are excuses, you were meant to go through it carefully before sending it out for printing. Because you refused to do your work, we have to settle for using pen to cancel the error. Get your team ready because you’re the ones doing it.”I listened for a while before rolling my eyes. “I don’t care how busy you are or if you have to stay the night fixing your errors. I need it completed in the next three days.”In all our years of planning and executing a fashion show, this would be the first time we would be having errors in the printing of the invitation. As much as I hated the fact the manual correction would reduce the standard, we couldn’t throw it away to r

Chapter: CHAPTER 45JOCELYN’s POV“You should take that.” Daniel said, pointing at the phone that was vibrating on the edge of the table where I’d placed it.I looked at the phone and reached towards it slowly, wishing it would stop ringing before I reached it. Wasn’t it common courtesy that once you’ve called twice, you assume the person was either busy or intentionally trying to ignore you?Unfortunately, the phone was still ringing when I picked it up so I took a deep breath and answered it. The person’s name wasn’t saved on my phone so it was just a number that was showing but one that was stuck in my memory.“Hey Jocelyn.” My aunt greeted in her usual cheerful voice like my cousin hadn’t just recently broken my heart beyond repair by revealing what I really meant to them.“Hey aunty.” I greeted back in a high-pitched tone. There was no way I could fake excitement in my voice so that would have to do.I felt eyes on me and remembering where I was, quickly stood up, pointing at the phone and left the

CHASING MY EX-CONTRACT WIFE
“Brent, please, I didnt cheat on you!”
“Shut up!”
Here I was begging a man who was a cheat himself— begging him to believe me and take him back.
Despite the fact that he had been the one that cheated.
But where had the compromising pictures come from?
“I can't — I can't b-believe you're choosing your ex over me, Brent! I'm your wife! Your wife!”
“Not only have you ruined my reputation, you have ruined my family's name as well. I wish I can erase you and everything we have together from my memories,” he growled at me. “You'll pay for what you've done, Priscilla. I promise you.”
“Brent, you have to believe me,” I wept, summoning up the courage to clutch at his arm but he snatched it away from me, making me fall back violently against the table.
He produced a set of papers and a pen and slammed them down onto he table.
“Divorce papers. I want them signed. Now.”

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-FourBRENT’S POVThe minute she bolted for the guest bathroom, I knew I'd caught her red handed. She didn't seem to have suspected that I was aware but I was well informed about all of her plans. It took a while for me to accept that she could do such but I wasn't going to let my woman get hurt due to my assistant's psychotic behavior. “I need everything ready.” I said to the intercom before leaving the room. I headed to my security room to watch the spy camera installed in my room. Seeing how frantic she'd been while trying to get rid of the camera she installed in my room, I guessed that would keep her hooked for the time being while I got the rest of her punishment prepared. I was yet to decide what I would do to her but torture was definitely top on my list. No one messes with me and gets away with it. She rushed back into my room and started calling out for me. When she saw that I wasn't in, she proceeded to start viciously attacking the camera like I'd predicted. My hands clen

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-ThreeEVELYN’S POV “This is the last time I'll be saying it. You either take her or kill her. I don't care what you have to do, take her or kill her.” I instructed my men before leaving home. Something told me to do this, just in case things try to go out of proportion. “What are we to do when we take her, ma’am?” One of the men asked. “What else? Kill her, of course. Do you think I care if she lives? The goal is to have her dead and out of my way, so you'd better do your job well.” I said and dismissed them. “Where are you going in such a frenzy? Are you okay?” Ruby asked as I threw on some clothes. My heart was in pure panic but I couldn't let that reflect on my face. “I had to be at Brent's. There's something I can't let him find.” I responded, grabbing my car keys. I sped out of the house in my car with my hands trembling on the steering wheels. “You've got this, Eve. You've got it.” I muttered to myself. The minute I pulled up to Brent's house, I rushed in without parking p

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-TwoPRISCILLA’S POVNo! No! No! This can't be! No!” I exclaimed in shock whilst staring at the pictures on my phone. When I opened the message at first, I thought it was a random mistake from a stranger but I found the video and my heart crumbled. Tears were already gushing out of my eyes while I held my hand over my mouth to prevent my cries from making it out. His face had pleasure all over it as she bounced on his throbbing member. “How could he do this to me?” I thought, still in shock. I recalled it to have happened on the night of Evelyn's party, which means he saw her at the party and hid it from me. More tears rushed out of my eyes as I skimmed through the pictures of the pregnancy test kits. It had blue lines, meaning she was pregnant with his baby. “How could you do this to me?” I cried silently and broke down to the floor. My body shook violently with tears. My vision was clouded by the tears rushing out of my eyes but I couldn't stop myself from staring at the pictures

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-OnePAMELA’S POVAfter the call with Brent, I felt heat rising up in every part of my body despite the air conditioning in the room. I paced around the room as worry and fear filled up my chest. I tried severally to reach Evelyn but her phone was surprisingly off. “Oh goodness, don't tell me I'm in this mess alone. What should I do?” I groaned loudly. I sat on the bed with my head in my hand while tears hung at the brim of my eyes. His words echoed in my head again and each time, it gave me the thought that he had found out the truth. “I can't lose like this.” I muttered knowing I was either alone at this point or dead if Brent found me. I rushed to my door and locked it tight, in fear that one of Brent's men could burst in through the door and kill me. “Calm down, Pamela. You have to think this through.” I whispered to myself again. I was losing my mind so everything felt strange to me, like I was in the middle of a burning maze with no escape route. I tried calling Evelyn again

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and ThirtyPRISCILLA’S POVThat was strange.” I muttered and returned to working but I couldn't get the thoughts off my mind. His words felt like a soothing balm over my wounds, I smiled a little, letting myself fall for him all over again. “What's making you smile so hard?” Claire's voice appeared from the kitchen. I turned and found her smiling as well. Her hair was ruffled and she had eye bags heavy enough to hold water. She clearly eiffored a boatload of jet lag.Claire gave me a surprise yesterday by coming into New York without informing me. I had no idea that all these while she'd been claiming to be busy, she was putting things in place for her arrival in New York. “Is it who I think it is?” She asked with a bigger teasing smile. “Girl, please, I'm just trying to cook.” I refuted, despite smiling hard. “The smile on your face is saying an entirely different thing. Did he make you smile again? Or are you just obsessed with thinking about him?” She asked and I laughed. “It's either
