Mag-log in“Are you married?” I bit my tongue at the question that I have been dreading since I saw him in the boardroom. “Answer me!” His angry yell startled me. I couldn’t fault him for being mad. How do I begin to explain it? If I tell him the truth, we will lose the deal and if I continue with the lies, he will see me as a cheating woman. Either way, I am going to lose so I picked the better choice for me and for my company. “Yes, I am married.” ***** For Maeve Fitzgerald her night with Alessandro Marchesi was pure passion and the best night of her life that can only be one night. For Alessandro, it was so much more. Maeve was sure they will never cross paths again but fate has a different plan and it’s about to change her life forever.

Maeve The first sign that something was wrong when I walked through the front door of the apartment I only recently bought with my fiancée and soon-to-be husband was when I heard a female groaning long and loud like she was in pain. I froze. It sounded too close. Really close. Like in my damn apartment close. I opened my mouth to call out but the voice came again. “God, yes, that feels good.” The voice sounded familiar. And it’s coming from… I walked farther into my apartment, careful not to make a noise. The sound was coming from my bedroom. I brace myself as I press the polished chrome handle and throw open the door. There in bed fully naked was my fiancée and soon-to-be husband… No! He is my husband already. since we registered our marriage officially two months ago. “Shit! What the fuck are you doing here, Eve?” Those were the first words that he said to me when he finally pulled out of the woman he was in bed with. “Is that what you are supposed to say to me?” I didn’t even know how I was still able to speak. I could barely breathe. I turned and started walking away but his hand stopped me. “Eve, wait.” “Wait for what?” I yelled at him and yanked my hand away. He cursed again and sifted his fingers through his hair. “This is all your fault!?” I gasped in shock at his words. No, those words weren’t directed at his mistress. They were directed at me. “My fault? What’s my fault?” I asked him in disbelief. “It’s all your fault! I cheated because of you!” I stared at my fiancée with my mouth open and no words coming out. He just said it’s my fault that he cheated on me. Not just cheated but he cheated a month before our wedding. One month to our big day and I found him dick deep in another woman who was currently still in his bed. Still very much naked save for the bedcover she used to cover herself that was barely covering anything. She didn’t even look a bit remorseful that she was caught in bed with my fiancée. Maybe it would have hurt less if she weren’t someone I knew. Someone I trusted so much. Someone who has been working closely with me for over three years now. My assistant. Violet. One of my bridesmaids. One of the people who has been helping me plan my big wedding. She looked like she was pleased that I caught them. She looked like she was having fun and had been praying for this day to come. Surely it wasn’t the first time. Definitely not. “Why are you just standing there, Eve? Did the cat get your tongue?” His words unfroze my mouth. “What are you even talking about Evans? You are cheating on me with my assistant in our home that we both paid for and you are saying it’s my fault? Have you lost your mind?” I yelled at him. I haven’t even fully processed the fact that this was happening to me. When I decided to come to the house we bought six months ago when we started planning our wedding, I didn’t for once think I would meet my fiancée here because he was supposed to be working on a project. I never expected to see my assistant bent over in all four and asking my fiancée to fuck her harder. Just thinking about what they were doing before I showed up made me want to throw up. “Yes, it’s all your fault! When was the last time we had sex?” My eyes widened at his words. Two months. It was all his idea. The minute we registered our marriage, he suggested that we wait until our wedding night to make love again. That way our wedding night will be even more special. “You suggested it!” I reminded him. “Did I? Or was I just looking for a way to get out of boring sex with you?” I couldn’t believe what he just said. “Boring?” “Yes! Sex with you has been hell and I wanted something better.” I scoffed. “And you got better from her?” I asked, pointing to Violet who was watching us with a sly smile on her face. I had nothing to tell her so I didn’t even bother to address her. “You know what? Don’t answer that.” I told him as I reached for the ring on my finger. I pulled it off and tossed it at him. “What do you think you are doing?” The audacious man asked me. “Obviously, there’s no point in all of this! You found someone else and even though you didn’t have the courtesy to tell me, it’s fine. I can read the room. The wedding is off.” He looked shocked at my words. “The wedding can’t be off! We are getting married in four weeks!” Oh, so he knows? “Not anymore.” I felt proud of how well I was handling everything even though I was breaking apart inside. “Have you forgotten? Legally, you are my wife. We already registered our marriage.” My biggest mistake. I should have waited until the wedding but I wanted our home to be ready before our big day. I wanted us to own the property as a couple and now look where that got me. “That’s okay! I will file for a divorce.” I told him. “You can’t do that. You love me too much and you pretty much don’t have any other option but to marry me.” I swallowed and willed myself not to respond to his insults. “Do you really think anyone else would want you? If you call off the wedding and file for a divorce, you will be alone forever.” I would much rather be alone than be with a fucking cheater. “I don’t care!” Why am I even talking to him while he is still fucking naked and dripping precum mixed with Violet’s essence? I felt sick. “The wedding is off and the divorce papers will be sent to you, make sure to sign!” I yelled at him and was about to walk away when I suddenly realized that I needed evidence. I pulled out my phone and with shaking hands took a video. “What the fuc—“ I used all of my strength to kick the bastard where I knew it would hurt him the most. Yes, his cheating dick. I ran out of there without thinking and didn’t stop running until I got into the elevator and the door closed. I collapsed to the floor of the elevator. Good thing I was alone. I managed to make it to my car and I called my lawyer immediately. I sobbed as I opened my mouth to say the words I never thought I would say in this lifetime. “I want a divorce. Please file the necessary papers to dissolve my marriage with Evans.” I dropped the call after making sure my lawyer heard me and there in my car, I cried.Alessandro“So? What’s the plan?”I asked Thomas when he finally met with him. He didn’t come alone. I don’t know how he managed to gather his other brothers so late at night, but he did, and we were all standing at the location he asked us to meet him at, since he is the one with the exact location of that bastard.I am going to kill him when I see him.“I scheduled a call to the police because you all insisted that you wanted to teach him a lesson before he is handed over. We have an hour.”I nodded, and so did the others. An hour is enough to deal with that bastard.“What about the broker?”I asked him.“Found him right before I left the house, and they are on to him already. The bastard is that way.”He said, and we all followed behind him.I thought we had to drive, but we walked and stopped in front of a gated house that looked abandoned.“This is where he is hiding?”I let out, and he nodded.“Yes,” Thomas answered and kicked the gate open. We got into the building, and inside
Maeve“That jerk. I can’t believe he wanted to use both of us to get out of what he did. I hope Marian is okay. Maybe I should go to her.”Andro shook his head.“I sent her sister to her.”My eyes widened.“She already told Mom everything that happened before today. I think she told her while Mom was still at the hospital. You know she visited her a lot, right?”I nodded.“I am glad they get along, and she has someone. I have someone too.”I said with a smile.“I am happy you didn’t wait longer to tell me, baby.”I smiled.“I almost didn’t. I was so scared, but I am glad I told you. I trust you, and I trust my brothers.”It took a lot to seek their help, but I am glad that I did.“How long will it take for Thomas to find out the truth about the video?”I asked him.“I don’t know, but we can wait. It won’t be long. If you want to sleep, you can, and I will watch you from here.”He told me.“But you have to sleep too.”I let out.“Baby, I used to go days without much sleep when I develo
Maeve“I can do that. I don’t want you to see any of that.”I told him.“Baby, what do you think would happen if I see it? Huh? Do you trust me?”I couldn’t answer.“There’s a video of me sucking his dick.”I said instead of answering the question he asked, and when he went completely silent, I realized that my worst fear had come to pass. I was about to hang up and cry when he spoke again.“Baby.”I couldn’t help it. I started crying again, and this time, I cried so much that I couldn’t breathe and felt light-headed.“Darling.”He called out.“Andro.”I cried.“We are going to fix this. You are going to send me the link, and I am going to send it to your brother who can handle this, okay? We are not going to let him win.”He assured me.“You are not mad?”I asked in a low voice.“What? Why would I be mad at you? You haven’t done anything wrong. Please don’t tell me that you are blaming yourself for what happened. I don’t want you to do that, okay?” I sniffled.“I love you.”He might
Maeve“There has to be a way to fix this.”I told myself over and over again, but nothing came to mind even after thinking hard for more than thirty minutes.I didn’t know who I could call even though I had so many people to call.I could call my brothers, James and Thomas, and tell them what’s going on, but I just couldn’t imagine looking them in the face and explaining to them that while having sex with an ex, I wasn’t careful enough and got filmed.It made me feel sick thinking about it, and I just couldn’t imagine how it would make them feel.This was supposed to be a fun and happy week for me. I had my week all planned out, and now, I don’t even know anymore.Fifty million for fake identification that I wasn’t even going to use. Five hundred million for whatever he intends to do with it.It was all too much for me.I reached for my phone and strolled through my contact list without calling anyone.“God help me.”I whispered to myself and nearly jumped out of my skin when my phon
Alessandro “Call me once you are done, and I will pick you up.” I told Maeve as she walked away. She turned and looked at me with those expressive eyes. I wonder if she knows that she was slowly letting her guard down in front of me. I could literally tell how she was feeling right now ju
