CHLOE'S POV

The alarm buzzed at exactly 5:30 a.m., but I was already awake. Not because of nerves, though they prickled at my skin like soft static — but because this was a new beginning.

My real beginning.

I lay in the dim quiet room for a moment, taking in the soft rustle of the wind against the curtains, the gentle creak of the new house settling around me.

This is not just a house — it's a home.

Mine.

Ours.

I was careful not to wake Richard as I slipped from the sheets. I walked barefoot to the adjoining bathroom and turned on the warm water for a shower. As steam curled around the tiles, I stared at my reflection — impressed, of course.

No shadows under my eyes. No cracks in my smile.

Just me. A woman remade.

By 6:15 a.m., I was done with my early morning routine. My curls were done as they pinned up, with light makeup on my face, and my navy-blue suit hugged my figure just the way I liked — crafty but commanding.

The kind of look that made a man like Lyon choke on regret. I sco

    Cole approached Esther with coldness in his eyes. Esther was scared of what he was going to do to her since she had provoked him, but since she had already lost everything, she didn't want to care.Anyway, if his relationship with Bridget was fine, then she would never have agreed to break up with him so easily. It was because their relationship wasn't okay at all!"What did you just say?" He asked her coldly.."You heard me. She doesn't care about you, or else she wouldn't have agreed to leave you easily. Haha...do you know that your so-called wife did not even try to fight me? She was so calm about everything, as if she had been waiting for this opportunity her entire life....she doesn't care about you! She didn't leave you because of me, she was going to leave anyway!" Esther screamed in his face .Cole was too angry to think about anything else now. He grabbed Esther's neck and he started to choke her, but she just smiled, refusing to beg

    Cole looked at Esther like he was looking at a piece of trash on the ground. He wanted to choke this woman to death and be done with it.To Cole, she was the main reason why Bridget had requested a divorce out of nowhere. This woman had the guts to ruin her life and act like she was the one on the right."And who said that I love you? Who said I was ever going to marry you? You are just someone that I slept with occasionally. Do you really think that there were any feelings within us? Don't be delusional, Esther. There is no way I could ever be with a woman like you," Cole sneered at her.His words got colder and crueler, but they were a true representation of his feelings at that moment.Esther was shocked when she heard this, and it took her a few minutes for her to process it."No, what are you talking about? It can't be true! I love you. We love each other. Don't you know how far we have come together? We were supposed to get back together once your wife

    "You have the wrong idea; there's nothing going on between us," Bridget said coldly.Mark looked at Bridget worriedly when she said this. It was true that there was nothing going on between them, but the way she said it made him think that she didn't want to be associated with him in any way.If...just if he happened to have feelings for her, did that mean that it was never going to work out between them?Jenna smiled. "Come on, you don't have to deny it. We see you guys every day. We can tell that something is going on. Don't worry, all of us here are professionals. We are definitely not going to say something that we are not supposed to say." Jenna was in a good mood.People were already giving Bridget death glares, and she was sure that Bridget's life on the set was going to be hard from now on, but then, who asked her to be so high-key?This was what she deserved, and Jenna was happy that she could do this without having to lift a finger to snuggle herse

    "Mark, you should have just told me that you didn't want anything to do with me from the start. I was just trying to be friends with you since the director said we had to get along for this drama, but that doesn't mean I'll let you trample on me. Especially not when you're listening to the words of others." Jenna was suddenly cold to Mark. Since she could not use him, then she did not see a reason why she would continue to pretend to be nice to him."I told you from the start, I made it clear I didn't want you hovering around me all the time. But you refused to listen to me. You think that the entire world is supposed to revolve around you, but let me make it clear that I don't care about you, so please stop!" Mark let loose on Jenna.He hated that he was having this conversation with her, and he hated that she had interrupted his discussion with Bridget."You...Mark, how can you talk to me like this? What do you think your fans are going to think when they find out t

    Both Mark and Bridget had frowns on their faces when they saw a smiling Jenna standing in front of them.Mark in particular was very angry, as he did not like Jenna at all. He had only been on the set for a few days, and she had completely disgusted him.She didn't know when to stop, and she kept pushing herself on him when she knew that he didn't want anything to do with her.She just would not take no for an answer, and Mark was going crazy from trying to get her to stay away from him. If it wasn't for the fact that his manager told him that she had backing, he would have had the director kick her out of the production a long time ago."Do you want to share with me what you're talking about? You know, Bridget, I really wanted to know how you got Mark to speak with you. I have been trying to speak to him about the scenes we have together, but he doesn't say anything to me. I really want to know how you did it." Although Jenna was smiling, everyone else could see

    At the filming set the next day, Bridget could not concentrate. She was able to put up a good show whenever she needed to film her scenes, but as soon as she sat down, she would zone out.She kept thinking about the complicated state of her relationship with Cole. He had refused to sign the papers because he said he wanted to make sure that she and the kids got what they deserved.But no matter how she thought about it, she had a feeling that he was just trying to delay the divorce for as long as he could.She had reached out several times, but each time, he told her that he was still working with his lawyers on the terms of the divorce, and so she would have to wait.Bridget was frustrated, but there was nothing else she could do besides wait and see what Cole was up to."What is on your mind?" Someone whispered into her ears just then.Bridget was scared, and she flinched, but before she could fall off her chair, Mark caught her.He smiled at her
