LOGINThe rays of sunlight entered the room as I moved in the comfortable bed.
I slowly opened my eyes and the hardest hangover that I could ever feel hit my head. As I laid there I felt the puke hit my throat and I stood up immediately making my way to the bathroom. After pouring out everything in my stomach, I walked to the sink and washed my face and it was then it all hit me. This wasn’t my penthouse, this place looked arranged and co-ordinated. I held on to my head as the hangover hit again and the events of last night started coming in and when the last thing I did hit me the instant regret followed. I had a one night stand with a total stranger. “Oh my god Raina , what have you done?” I panicked as I rushed out of the bathroom. This is one of the main reasons why I never get drunk. I end up doing the craziest shit. But the last thing I remember was having sex at the vvip section. Then how did I get here ? It was at that moment I noticed the unfamiliar lingerie I wore. My eyes almost rolled out of my head as the pain hit me again. I rushed back into the room and I saw my clothes neatly folded on the shelf. I quickly scrammed to the other side of the bed as I tried to put on the gown I had worn to the club last night but something else caught my attention: it was the gold necklace on the table. I looked at the gold necklace but the one thing that caught my attention was the name boldly inscripted on it. Damien kade. At that moment, I felt my heart racing faster as I picked up the necklace to be sure of what I was seeing. Was this some kind of dream or is this a set up how did his jewelries get here? I swallowed nervously as the instant heat hit me as I thought about the possibility of what I had done. That name was impossible to forget, this was the same man that had haunted Ethan for years and even burned down his warehouse when they clashed. The rival Ethan swore to destroy. Damien is this last person anyone would ever want to get involved with. Unlike the sweet handsome ceo show he puts up in front of the press and the media the man was the real devil. Behind the scenes he runs the city doing all sorts of illegal business and one thing I know him for is his special hatred for my husband. Once I was done putting on my gown I walked out of my room and luckily no one was outside of the room. I spent the rest of my days cleaning my apartment as I tried to put what had happened behind me. The thought of what I had done last night still haunted my thoughts but yet I tried to brush it off. I had no idea who the stranger was and there was no way it would be Damien so I see no reason why I should bother about it. It was just a one night stand and I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. Somehow going into that club made me feel relieved. I had cleaned the whole apartment and right now I was sitting at the lobby as I scrolled through social media but what caught my attention was when I came across Ethan’s page. He didn’t bother to block me he posted photos of Leah and their child.. Ignoring the pain in my chest I clicked on the picture and I saw the people saying how perfect of a family they were and most people commented on how I never deserved him. With each negative comment I read it felt like my heart was about to collapse. If only I hadn’t been too stupid. My parents never called and Ethan is a fucking bastard if he thinks that I was going to let him take the same company that we built together . From where I sat I watched the bussing city but somehow as I sat there I didn’t feel a damn thing. Everything about the city felt so fast it seems like the whole world moved on and I’m the only one who is left behind. My phone vibrated from where I had kept it but as I picked it up I noticed that it was a private message from a private number. “You left without saying goodbye Raina, not nice” I looked at the message as the instant panic suddenly hit me and I tried to understand what was going on but before I could understand another message came in. “open the door wifey” the message read. I blinked as I looked at the message to be sure of what I was seeing. Wifey?. No, I was nobody’s wife. In that moment, I felt the sudden sweat begging to break out of my forehead as the thought of what was happening hit me. My hands moved instinctively as I tried to hit the delete button but what I hear next is a knock on my door. The sound echoed through the building as my breath hitched against my chest. Was this some kind of sick joke? What if it was real, what if the man standing behind the door was no other than the man I had a one night stand with. What if the man turns out to be Damien Kade, my ex husband enemy. I swallowed nervously. I moved art from the chair I sat on and walked back to the living room. My phone vibrated in my hands again and before I could even react to that I heard another knock on my door. In that instant I felt my heart pumping hard against my chest threatening to come out. Swallowing the lump on my throat, I walked towards the door with shaking hands. I held the door knob and pulled it open and when I did every last drop of blood drained from my body. Damien Kade. My ex husband rival stood in front of me with a flower bouquet and the smuggled smile on his lips . He looked more dangerous in person and his eyes held so much darkness that I hadn’t felt from anyone or was it the way he looked at me. Damien smiled slowly but yet his stare was void and deep. “You don’t want to keep your husband waiting Mrs Kade ” he lets out as he hands me the paper in his hands. My hands trembled as I reached out for the paper and the words written on it was the words marriage certificate. I feel my breath tightened against my chest as I read the paper all over again to be sure of what I was seeing as my heart start beating harder than before. It had, my name, his name Signed and stamped. No,This can’t be real.I looked at the marriage certificate as I rubbed my hands on it clearly to be sure of what I was seeing. This couldn’t be real, this wasn’t happening. I never agreed to marry him,it was just a reckless night and nothing ever happened again. Why would I marry a man as ruthless and heartless as him? Damien doesn’t wait for me to respond, but instead he walks past me slowly and entered the room. He dropped the flower on the couch beside me as I stood still rooted to a spot. “I never agreed to marry you, this is Fake” Damien looked at me, his stare cold but void. His eyes scanned around the room as if trying to understand why my room looked like a mess. I looked back at the paper again but I was smart enough to know that these documents were real, they aren’t void. As I looked at the paper I felt the string in my head pulling again as I held myself from breaking down all over again. First I was deceived and betrayed by all those I trusted and now a reckless on

It’s been three days since I left my parents house to the only penthouse I had left. My eyes still swelled from all the tears that I had been crying all this time. With each day that passes by everything keeps coming back and it hurts like hell. The betrayal was fresh. my penthouse was the only place I had left that hadn’t been claimed by my parents. That night after I left my parents house I discovered all my cards had been blocked,when I checked my phone they had cut ties with me. I slowly moved my tired body from the scattered bed and the broken pictures of Ethan and I that were all over the floor as I dialed my friend's number again. “The number you dialed is currently unavailable at the moment” I dropped my phone as the tears blurred my visions again, no one wants to hang out with a loser. I had lost friends and family. As I laid on the bed I could see the city light glitter from outside the window and just then my eyes trailed to the black gown that
I want a divorce the words rang in my head as my legs weakened. Ignoring the raging pain in my heart and the burning throat I pulled myself up as my eyes met that of my husband. I cleaned my tears with my right hands as I looked at him. “I went to jail for you” I let out slowly. I loved you, I did all I could so that our little family wouldn’t break I took all the blame Ethan. I didn’t care what anyone said of me,I didn’t care what the media said when my name was being dragged to filth. I didn't care about any of that. I covered all of that and this is how you repay me. “Is this how you repay the woman who had stood with you through thick and thin, is this what I get for loving you” I screamed at him as the tears rolled out again and my voice echoed through the house. Ethan looked at me, his expression still cold, he didn't seem moved by what I had just said. “Don’t make this harder than it already Is,I love Leah and not you, I have a family now and all I
“Mrs Hale, you are free to go” The warden's voice comes through the corridor as the security does their final check. That moment I stepped out of the correctional center that had held me for two years and the cold air rushed into my lungs. I stood there for a moment clutching on to the brown envelopes that held everything that represented me. The gold key that represented my passage to the company, the shirt I was brought in with and the picture of my husband. As the breeze hit me again a smile finally broke out of the corner of my lips as I felt what it felt like to be free again. My eyes scanned the area hoping that he did come even though I knew that he wouldn’t dare to. No one came to take me home, not my parents or even still my sister. When I didn't see his car or anyone, I walked slowly towards the exit and hailed a taxi. As the car moved, my eyes scanned the areas, the street that felt so familiar but yet it all felt distant. The one bu
