LOGINEliana's POV Calvin closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose as he took a long, dragged breath. "Baby... I know I've given you spending freedom... But you just changed your wardrobe a month ago. Don't you think that's a bit excessive?" Calvin adds, making me roll my eyes as I take a forkful of food to my mouth. As if! I have spent my hard-earned money on my clothes for the last two years without spending a single dime of his because I wanted to ease his load. Yet he thinks I am just 'spending' his money? Buddy- every damn piece of your clothes was bought by me! I rolled my eyes as I continued to munch on my food, stabbing the pancake that Jocie had just set before me, dunking it into the warm and gooey cream cheese icing she placed next to me, and bringing it to my mouth. I moaned in delight, savoring it as I chewed that sucker. "It's outdated. I have no use for those clothes if I can't wear them. Do you want the other wives in your circle to think I have a cheap
Eliana's POVBrooks didn't say another word.He sat quietly in the car beside me, listening as I vented my anger.When I was finally done, exhausted, and feeling utterly drained, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, clenched his jaw, and let out a sigh."What do you plan on doing? I mean, do you plan on divorcing him, as you said, or... are you going to forgive him for this again?" he asked, making me look up."Of course I am. I am done, Brooks. I've been trying my hardest to look the other way, to make things work, to catch his attention and do things right, be the stupid submissive wife, but I just... can't!""I understand. You know I'm here for you, right, doll? I won't leave you," he says, making my heart warm a little."Brooks... I'm sorry I kept you up. I know you have a plane to catch, and I shouldn't have kept you away for so long, I just-""Stop it. You're my best friend, Ellie. The plane can wait. Besides, Grandma would be mad if she found out I took off and left you like
Ellie's POVI stumbled my way inside my home. The double doors seemed heavier tonight. Or perhaps it's just that I am far too tired, too drunk, and feeling my body heavy from the long night of drinking.I grunted, as I leaned closer against the door and pushed it open.One of the younger house maids, Daniela, rushed over, holding my hand as she saw me dragging my feet inside."My lady. You're finally home." She says as she helps me to the couch, and takes my purse, placing it on the coffee table next to the sofa."Daniela, my feet are aching. I think I drank a little too much." I said as I slumped my body, closing my eyes as I grabbed one of the small pillows and placed it under my head.Daniela chuckles, grabbing one of the fleece throws, placing it over me, and sighing."I'm just glad you're home safe, ma'am. By the way-" she says, changing her tone to a bit of concern as she looks towards the stairs."Ma'am... is... everything alright between you and... Mr. Calvin?" she asks, maki
Eliana's POV So I let loose. For the first time in a very... very long time, I allowed myself to pàrty with my friends.I partied all night, taking a drink now and then. Not too much!Brooks wouldn't let me. He was acting like the protective big brother– as always!Either way, I. Let. Loose!For the first time in a long time, I felt like dancing and partying away as if there was no tomorrow. But don't worry– Brooks stayed by my side the entire night, making sure I didn't do anything bizarre or utterly stupid to make me regret it later. It reminded me of my high school years when he and I would attend school dances together.I never wanted to attend with any other boy but him. Not because any other guy didn't ask– plenty of guys in town asked me to be their date, but I always turned them down.As a teenager... I only had eyes for Brooks, even though I knew we could never be.As always– Brooks scared away guys who approached me. He was still the protective man type, just like when w
Eliana's POV I glanced at Brooks. His eyes were a mixture of worry and anger. What am I supposed to say? Yeah, you were right Brooks, I messed up. I picked the wrong guy! I should have listened! Sigh— but it wasn't that easy. Deep down, whether I wanted to admit it or not... Calvin's betrayal, his affair, and the broken promise we made at the altar still hurt. And it hurt deeply. I only pretended to be strong and put on a false mask of being okay. And with that thought... it finally hit me again. The feeling of loneliness. The feeling of betrayal. All the hurt, the resentment, and anger that had been building inside of me since the first sign of his affair finally caught up. I felt the bitter and painful knot building in my throat. My chest is tightening with the sense of having failed to keep the man I loved... to keep his interest in me. My tears stung as they welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. Brooks' eyes went from an angry scowl to worry. He loosened h
Brooks smiled softly and his smile only grew brighter the second he saw me.His presence, like every room he ever walked into, attracted eyes from every corner.Women of every age admired him from head to toe. But let's be honest... if you were here in the room with us, you'd be drooling over him too.And why wouldn't we? I mean they...they! not me. I don't drool over him, I swear.Sigh—He was undeniably a handsome—handsome? No! What am I talking about? He's hot, ok?He's hot as fuck, there... I admit it.Sigh— if you could only picture him in your head you'd understand me.Brooks is tall like a damn tree.Which is why he makes fun of me and my posture because I'm way shorter than he is by a whole damn foot. I used to be taller than him when we were kids, and I would taunt him, calling him Peewee.But— There was a summer when we both left our town on vacation. He left for Cancun, to spend the summer with his grandma, and I left for Tequila to visit my grandparents. And yes, ther
(Third Person POV)"Why isn't Eliana with you, Calvin? She is your wife. Why in the world did you have to bring your... mistress? You can't keep bringing Kylie with you to every family event. Do you have any idea what this can do to the family?" Sarah, Calvin's mom says.Though she whispered, you c

Eliana's POVI stood up, fixing my summer dress, and sighed. I slowly made my way toward the reception, trying not to throw my phone out the window.With the millions I make daily, I took risks in the past, secretly investing in Calvin's company, making it rise from nothing to riches in record tim
