LOGINEllie's POVFive days.Five days. Calvin and his mistress have been traveling through Spain and Milan for what he called "business."I, on the other hand, was grateful to Kylie. She didn't disappoint, sending me videos, picture messages, and texts of her intimate moments with my soon-to-be ex-husband.I had more than enough evidence to ensure a quick divorce.As for my dealings with his company? I was holding off on that termination until he signed those papers.I sat in my living room, sipping my morning coffee with my friends Shannon and Aria, when someone knocked loudly on my front door, repeatedly knocking and ringing the doorbell.Aria chuckled as she kept sketching on her tablet for our upcoming clothing line."Gee, I wonder who that is?" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm."Eliana, open the damn door! Did you think I wouldn't find out where you've been? I've been gone on business for four days, and I come back to this? Divorce? Give me a break, Eliana! This is low even
Ellie's POVI took a long sigh as the realization hit me. I truly did it. I finally let Sarah know what Calvin had been doing behind my back for the past six months. But what hurt the most right now was finding that Mercedes had known all along. I supported that bitch, and gave her freedom to spend my money, and she paid me back with condescension, stabbing me in the back by being their subordinate. My phone rang, making me snap out of my tearful charade. I pressed the answer button, listening to the person on the other line without looking at who was calling."Eliana, dear, it's grandma. I talked to Sarah; I know everything." Calvin's grandmother says in her old, shaky voice. She sounded tired and pained."Grandma, I-" "Not another word, child. I'm meeting you now; tell me where you are. We have a debt to take care of with you," she says, making me gulp in worry."Grandma, what do you mean?" "Give me your address; I'm on my way," she says firmly. I knew her health had been fra
EllieI am left angry, frustrated, and ready to yell. I can feel my body shaking; I am so angry that my tears fall down my cheeks, and I make a painful knot form in my throat. I sigh through the anger, closing my eyes and turning away. "Ellie, what is going on? You're not serious about this, are you? Divorce? I thought you and Calvin were doing so good. How can-" Sarah says, grabbing my hands softly and pulling me to sit next to her.My head lowers, unable to stop shedding tears. "I'm serious, Sarah. He's cheating on me. I know it." "What? How can you say that? Sweetheart, Calvin loves you. He would never!" Sarah adds, making me wail in her arms. "Oh, sweetheart. I'm sure this is all a misunderstanding. I know my son. He has a soft heart for people in need, you know that! But cheating? He would never do that to you," she says, rubbing my back in an effort to ease my cry. "No, I'm sure about it, Sarah. He's different; he's changed. He would never have taken someone else's side, n
Ellie's POVKylie looked between Calvin, his mom, and Mercedes, hoping for sympathy, but left empty-handed.Mercedes hated me, but she knew damn well I was right. She tried to keep this situation a secret from her brother, thinking she could leech off me because, in her eyes, Calvin never set an expense limit for me.All this, Mercedes thought, meant that every transaction was a notification being sent to Calvin’s phone with my name on it.She had to be some new kind of stupid to think Calvin wouldn't question a purchase of baby clothes, formula, and baby furniture.True, Calvin had set up a joint account for him and me, but what he failed to see was that I had never spent a dime of his money.And all the money his dear little sister, Mercedes, and her husband spent over the last two years was my personal spending money, earned by me alone.When Kylie realized Calvin wasn't going to choose her in front of his wife and mother publicly, she scrunched her nose in anger.Calvin had no opt
Eliana's POVI stood there, listening to Mercedes' complaint, her mom and brother looking at her with exhaustion, and her husband looking embarrassed at her pitiful whines.It was nothing new to any of us. The only one buying her dramatic charade, of course, was the other airhead in the room, Kylie.Meanwhile, movers continued to take boxes out, leaving through the back door as Eleanor signaled for them to stay out of sight as they took care of the kitchen and my room first. "You cannot be this insensitive, Eliana. I mean, she is your husband's sister. Why can't she spend her brother's money? There's nothing wrong with that." Kylie says, making me almost laugh."Exactly! Why do you always have to be so mean to me? You're nothing but a bully, Eliana. Don't you know I just had a baby? My hormones are still sensitive, and I am on the verge of getting postpartum depression because of this," she says, making me and her mom roll our eyes."Okay, enough. Mercedes, you-" Sarah adds, making
I smiled, standing on my feet, and hugged her tightly.I gave my girls a subtle signal, and they quickly understood, reading my cues and rushing to assist their maid by grabbing all the bags, unstrapping the baby's car seat, and carefully carrying the sleeping baby."Sarah, how are you?" I asked, giving her a tight hug. She chuckled, hugging me back tightly."Oh, sweetie. We missed you so much at the party last night. Calvin said you weren't feeling well, so I took the initiative to bring you a few supplements," she says as she takes a red box from her son-in-law's hand, brings it over with a smile, then takes my hand and sits me next to her on the sofa.'Open it," she says joyfully.She had brought a series of vitamin supplements and precious herbal remedies."I had these imported all the way from Oaxaca, Mexico, just for you. They are incredibly potent, so make sure you read the instructions carefully. Josie, be sure to prepare them for her every day, without a miss." She smiles at
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
First things first. After I recorded my dear husband getting a blow job from his side piece, I saved it, sent it to myself in an encrypted email, and then sent it to my lawyer, Shannon. It wasn't long before she called back, furious, and ready to leave the office, wanting to burn down his offic
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
Eliana's POVMy hands trembled as I gazed upon the picture on the phone. My husband, Calvin Franco, was exceptionally affectionate and fed a powdered sugar and blueberry pastry to the new model he hired in his company six months ago, Kylia Sinclair. It had been more than clear to me that she was h
