The high school reunion was a triennal event, happening once every three years. I had only attended one to flaunt my then new husband James. I never attended any of the last two because James complained that it was a waste of his time while he went about frolicking with other women.

The reunion was a matter of egoistic superiority. A battle on who had the best husbands or wives, or the best careers, cars, children, houses and many more. I supposed that Mona assumed she was doing me a favour by sending me into a coma. What would I want to do with our highschool crowd when I had a fleeting husband, no money, and no career? I would only be inviting mockery to myself, especially since I used to drag the top position with Mona. But I was way past caring about my ego. I would attend the reunion with my head held high.

"Madam Simmons, please reconsider. You only just woke up from a serious medical condition," the doctor begged me.

  • Discarding my Loveless Marriage    Chapter 13

    With masterful and villainous pretence, Mona had succeeded in turning the tides. She had made me what she painted me out to be. A rude spoilt jealous housewife."We all know Mona is just a secretary but she wasn't as privileged as us so you need to stop making her feel bad about it," Denise, who was the mistress of looking down on less fortunate people, chastised."Did you do all these because you were jealous Mona is such a good friend to James? James is already your husband, what else do you want?""Buying fake Sapphires just to embarrass James. If you wanted them so bad, all you had to do was ask. Ugh.""If you are capable of doing this that means it's true then that you are stopping James from inheriting the family business from his father.""That means it's also true that you never wanted to come to the reunion. You only came because James asked Mona after you turned him down."The wrongful slander overwhelmed me so much that I felt the back of my eyes burn with unshed tears. Add

    The hall was silent as the gravity of my accusation sank in."Ronica Risconce or Simmons or whatever you call yourself now, what are you doing here?" Sandra, who worked directly with the UN asked. "Mona said you didn't want to come and that's why James asked her to be his plus one. James said you insisted the reunions are too ignoble for you.""For the last two reunions, James was the one who led me to believe that these events were too ignoble for him. And despite the fact that Mona and I attended the same school, she is just my husband's secretary. I don't recall asking her to keep tabs over what I will or won't be attending," I coolly stated.While James was looking clueless what to do to deflect the bad light I had just cast on him, Mona desperately tried to salvage the situation. "Is this your ploy to make me look bad in front of all our classmates? You told me you won't be attending, only to show up, trying to play me for a fool for believing you.""You can tell them whatever yo

    I was on probation, trapped under the watchful eyes of my cruel husband.The atmosphere at the villa was stiff and filled with tension. All the servants seemed ashamed to look me in the eyes. It wasn't hard for me to put to put two and two together. James had bragged to them that I had come crawling back to him. I think they were disappointed in me.I would let them believe his narrative until he trusted me enough to give me back my phone. I would have to call my secret contact to rescue me. My secret contact had told me it was not the right time to reveal himself to James. I respected his decision and I feared that he would break it for my sake. I did not want to imagine my secret contact carelessly revealing his identity by storming into the villa to find me. He was bound to suspect that James had something to do with my sudden disappearance.It had been three days since I had agreed to play along with James' lie. Life at the villa seemed to have returned to a stupid kind of normal

    "Hello ma'am. My name is Antonio Giretti representing Songbird Press and we would very much like an exclusive interview."The message played over and over again on my private voicemail. I could not help but wonder how this reporter had gotten my new number especially since my secret contact had undertaken the press and public regarding the planning of my concert. All I had to do was show up on the stage on the D-day and play.I thought of calling my secret contact and running a background check on Songbird Press but I did not want to burden him anymore than I already had. I grabbed my new laptop and ran a quick google search. Songbird appeared to be a prominent journalism company, one of the best in fact in the country.I frowned with confusion. Even if they wanted an interview, there was nothing I could tell them that I hadn't already told Amy Gold. With this in mind, I called Antonio Giretti in order to politely turn him down."We would give you fifty thousand dollars for the interv

    "Cancel the concert Ronica, and I'll let you come home." James said. His heart was pounding as no answer came through the line. Did she think he was bluffing? Had she cut the call on him? "Did you hear what I said?""Yes James, I heard you loud and clear," her surprising voice of steel cut through.James breathed with relief. He could salvage the situation as long as Ronica stayed on the line. He resolved to take the heady calm approach. "Ronica," he began, "What's all this? Why are you acting out all of a sudden? This isn't like you. Tell me where you are and I'll come pick you up. Then we can discuss this.""There's nothing to discuss.""What do you mean there's nothing to discuss? Are you out of your mind? Do you forget who I am to you? I am your husband.""I think it is you who have forgotten that I am your wife," Ronica snapped. "For eight years I succumbed to you. I left my family for you. Quit my career for you and you couldn't even respect that. I was a golden egg sitting in y
