Chapter 8 Going From Home-Wrecker to the Real Deal

Author: Grace Lotus
"What should I do now, Summer?" I stared blankly out the window, my gaze vacant.

For years, Liam was my entire world. My life had revolved around him. Now that he was out of the picture, I felt as if I had lost all purpose. I was clueless to what my existence could amount to or what was even worth doing anymore.

"Rina, he's nothing but a scumbag. You're better off knowing his true colors now rather than after the marriage." Summer sat next to me and her arms enveloped me. Her eyes brimmed with compassion.

"But it hurts, Summer. It hurts so much," I cried, clinging to her. My tears had dried up over the past few days, but the ache in my heart was as raw as ever.

"Rina, you're going to forget that jerk and find someone a thousand times better. Make that man regret ever letting you go." Summer's determined-filled eyes met mine.

At that vulnerable moment, I realized how lucky I was to have such a faithful friend. Without her comforting and encouraging words, I couldn’t fathom how I would’ve made it through any of this.

"Come on. Let's get dolled up. We're going on a shopping spree. After today, that jerk will be ancient history." Summer yanked me out of the bed, urging me to get ready.

We made our way to the nearest shopping mall and wandered through the women's clothing section. This mall was said to be under Liam's company. The connection made me instinctively resist, but Summer held onto me tightly. Though reluctant, I knew Summer was trying to help me heal, so I decided to tough it out.

We roamed through the aisles, and Summer’s arms started weighing down with shopping bags. I, on the other hand, bought nothing. I was just not in the mood.

Suddenly, I spotted the silhouette of a happy couple not too far in the distance. It was Liam and Julia. My heart sank, and in a nervous move, I seized Summer and signaled that it was time to leave.

"Why are you pulling me, Rina? I'm not done shopping."

Oblivious to the couple nearing us, Summer was confused by my sudden urgency.

"Let's go somewhere else. I don't want to be here anymore."

Keeping my back to Liam and Julia, I tried to make myself invisible.

Summer's eyebrows knit together, her gaze filled with confusion at my abrupt change in demeanor. Just as she opened her mouth to say something, the couple noticed me.

"Fancy bumping into you here. I see you’ve moved on pretty quickly from your heartbreak. Shopping after just a few days?" Julia’s words oozed sarcasm and an air of smugness.

Being prodded right where it hurts, I acutely felt the pain. But I refused to give them the satisfaction of seeing me hurt. This disgusting pair simply was not worth it.

Upon seeing Liam and Julia, Summer finally understood why I was trying to pull her away earlier. She stepped in front of me and acted as a shield. "What a sight for sore eyes. If it isn't the other woman herself. What's it like going from home-wrecker to the real deal?"

  • Easy, Mr. Bigshot   Chapter 585 The End

    I knew that nothing I said to the contrary was going to convince Jethro otherwise. All he cared about now was protecting his little princess. "Okay then, I'll be waiting for you at home. Don't work overtime tonight, okay?""Got it! I'll be home soon," he agreed smilingly. I was sure he’d have gone home with me straight away if it weren't for work.Doris was already waiting by the time I got home. She looked both excited and assured. "So? Pregnant, right?""You nailed it!" I laughed."Oh dear! Seren’s going to get a sibling soon!" she chirped. I shook my head helplessly. I should’ve been the happiest one, but the Willows were just one-upping me one after another right now. I smiled at Doris. "I'm a little tired, so I'll be in my room.""Go, go. I'll get the housekeeper to make something nutritious for you," Doris replied. Jethro came home a lot earlier than usual. He had a large bouquet of roses with him too. I couldn’t recall when was the last time he gave me flowers."Is thi

    Mason chuckled dryly. "Well, well. Working hard, huh? You’re expecting again."I felt guilty for having asked him for help now. It was as if I was putting salt on his wound. I avoided his gaze and decided to go around him. "Umm, if it inconveniences you, then I wouldn't mind joining the line. See ya."He frowned and stepped in my way. He smiled. "I've already made the arrangements, Serena. Just go."Despite his smile, I could tell Mason was simply hiding his feelings. I sighed. I didn't want to hurt him, but he never seemed to change. He kept doing things for me, and I was simultaneously moved and frustrated by his loyalty. But I could only ever love Jethro. I could never reciprocate Mason’s feelings. I silently followed him into the consultation room. A while later, the doctor confirmed that I was pregnant. I felt as though I had soared to the sky, and I wondered how Jethro would feel about this. Mason was by my side the entire time, so naturally, he was privy to the news. I fa

    I woke up the next morning feeling like a well-wrung-out-rag. I had gotten home late, and Jethro kept me up till the wee hours of the morning. I had only fallen asleep just before dawn.Restless, I turned to look at Jethro who was deep asleep and felt slightly resentful. He had worn me out last night, yet here he was, sleeping peacefully without a care. I sat up and gently nudged him awake. Even though he had exhausted me, he was the one who had truly exerted himself, so he was certainly even more tired than I was.Jethro opened his eyes groggily, asking sleepily. "What’s wrong?""Do you even have to ask?" I retorted."Did I not satisfy you last night? Well, are you up for more then?" he teased.I stared at him, dumbfounded. Why was he always thinking such thoughts? When had I ever hinted that I wanted another round?Irritated, I shot him a glance and decided to get out of bed to wash up. While I brushed my teeth, I suddenly felt a wave of nausea. I found this strange. I hadn't e

  • Easy, Mr. Bigshot   Chapter 582 In His Warm Care

    Jethro’s anger ebbed away upon hearing my words, though his face continued to carry a trace of annoyance."That's more like it. Remember, if this happens again, you’re never leaving the house ever again," he warned.I wasn't upset that he was angry. I understood it was because he cared about me. I would’ve felt the same if the roles were reversed. After all, worry was a byproduct of care."Were you waiting up for me?" I asked, realizing Jethro was still up in the living room though it was well past two in the morning."What else would I be doing?" he replied in a mix of irritation and relief."Geez, I've already apologized. Let's not dwell on this," I responded playfully, trying to defuse the tension. "Let's head to bed. I'm exhausted," I suggested, more than ready to end the evening. Taking his hand, I led us toward the bedroom.Sensing my weariness, Jethro followed without further comment. After a soothing shower, I felt much better despite the physical exhaustion. My mood, how

  • Easy, Mr. Bigshot   Chapter 581 Threatening Jolene

    "You just implied that it wouldn’t matter if you faced such trauma again. If that's what you think, I might as well help it happen!" I said to Jolene, purposefully using harsh words to instill fear in her. My goal was to shock her into realizing the gravity of her actions. My real concern was for Evelyn—Jolene’s recklessness was causing Evelyn undue stress."Let me go, Serena! You’re insane!" Jolene protested, but I continued to tug at her, undeterred by her panic and anger. I wanted to teach her a lesson for her lack of empathy and respect."I'm the crazy one? It seems like you’re the one who has lost your mind, Jolene! Can’t you see what you’re doing to your mom? If you can’t handle life's challenges, then stop causing her pain!" Driven by frustration, I dragged her outside.Jolene then managed to break free, retreating and glaring at me fearfully. "Get the hell away from me! I don't wanna see you!" she yelled, visibly shaken.Seeing her sufficiently alarmed, I stopped, fixing he

  • Easy, Mr. Bigshot   Chapter 580 Slapping Jolene

    "Seeing Jojo like this is breaking my heart.” Evelyn held my hand, her face marked by deep sorrow."I know you're upset, but don't worry, I'll talk some sense into her." Seeing Evelyn's distress, I felt uneasy. Though I was reluctant to interfere in Jolene's life, I couldn't ignore Evelyn's pain.I waited at Evelyn's house until late at night before Jolene finally returned. It was almost one in the morning, and my irritation surged upon seeing her. Jolene, reeking of alcohol, was a far cry from her former self. Her transformation was stark. Dressed provocatively and caked in heavy makeup, she resembled a hooker more than a member of a respectable family.I marched over to her "Jolene," I called out, unable to hide my annoyance.She stopped and faced me. She asked in a hostile tone, "What are you doing here at this hour?""Waiting for you." I faced her with a frosty demeanor."Waiting for me? I'm tired and have no interest in talking to you." Impatiently, Jolene turned to head ups
