LOGIN“How could you both do this to me?” Matilda's voice trembled as her eyes darted from her best friend to her husband, whose sweats were dripping, obviously from the adulterous act he just committed. Her disappointed self wanted to hear an explanation, an excuse, or something and wished all was just a mistake but..... “You came in just in time.” He uttered with no iota of remorse as he fixed his pants and belts. “What? Eduardo!” “You've seen and heard it all, so what now? Want me to start telling some boring story and silly excuse? Hell no, young lady!” He raised a brow, and Matilda couldn't believe her eyes and ears. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After being betrayed by those she loved and trusted so much, Matilda Smith wished nothing but to vanish from the face of the earth. Her five years of marriage was ruined in a single day by those she thought were on her side. But they didn't end there. Despite taking everything she had inherited from her family, they still wanted her dead. And that was when their paths crossed. Xander Hamilton, authoritative, charismatic, confident, and ruthless, was the sole heir to the number one company in America and a rival to many businesses. ~~~Extract~~ “Please, help me. I'm willing to do anything. Just help me get revenge and my inheritance back.” “Your life became mine from the moment you witnessed that man's death. What makes you think I'll help the life which I want to end badly even at this moment? I just need two reasons.” He smirked dangerously. His presence screamed danger, yet she was drawn to him like a magnet. However, will she be able to face the danger in his world? What if their destinies have been intertwined from the beginning?
View More**IN AMERICA** Faint groans mixed with the gentle clicks of the French luxury leather black shoe against the marble floor were all that was heard until Eduardo halted. His gaze was transfixed on the men lying almost lifeless on the floor, blood pooled around them in their clothes turned rags. "After so much torture, they're still claiming not to know where she is hiding. They don't even want to speak about what happened on that night she was supposed to be killed." Scott, his personal assistant said, bowing slightly at his arrival. "Really?" Eduardo scoffed. "So, Matilda suddenly rose from the dead and grew wings to foil my plans? What happened to the killing I ordered? Nobody could complete such a simple task!" His last words came out in a frustrated yell that had every guard in the vault bowing their heads in shame. Scott drew in a sharp breath, quietly waiting for his boss's anger to subside a little. "Personally, I think this will lead us nowhere. We should increase our sea
Staring at the stylized monogram 'X.V.LR' boldly written on the luxurious golden airframe, Matilda stood there contemplating whether to go inside or not, her long blonde hair dancing in the air behind her. Racing thoughts that made her escape reality filled her head as barely any of the things happening in the hangar came to her notice. Just the night before, she had returned to where her legs took her and that led to an unprepared trip the next day. After signing the divorce papers, her lawyer had prepared and sent them to her husband, now turned Ex; the only thing that came to mind was voluntarily heading into the mansion of a man she barely knew. A man whom she was yet to uncover his identity fully. But it was better for her. It was better than staying with people she believed she trusted, but it turned out they could decide out of nowhere to torture and end her life like she never existed. But, why was she suddenly hesitating? Until then, she was only determined to leave N
"Breakfast is ready, ma'am." The maid knocked twice before announcing."I'll be downstairs in a bit."She left afterward, and the door opened shortly, revealing Matilda fully dressed in a yellow jumpsuit paired with black ankle strap heels and a matching bag. She quietly shut the door behind her and made her way to the dining area.Upon getting closer, she found Eduardo and Tiffany already eating together as they sat beside each other. It was just the two of them there but immediately Tiffany noticed her presence, she went further by acting all clingy around Eduardo. Something Matilda once did on daily basis, and it irked her so much, but she tried not to let her anger get the best part of her.She didn't walk back into the marriage, just to get back with a cheating husband. Especially not one who almost had her killed intentionally. Knowing fully well that her life was already in danger, the only thing on her mind was to get back everything they stole from her. Even if it required r
Inside a tall and giant building, men and women of prominence and high status walked around in the well decorated and fancied hall. Some ate and drank on chairs and tables set in order, some stood with the bereaved family to console them while some rather discussed businesses, using the gathering as a means of getting more business connections.A soft instrumental music played in the background, entertaining those who cared to listen. Today was the funeral which the Smiths' family prepared for the supposed dead Matilda Smith, and they were precisely in the reception after they've buried a body they didn't know was only a replacement.The instrumental music finally ended, earning a loud ovation from the audience and that was when Eduardo walked up to the stage. His expression was looking very much sad, just as how it had been since his wife's death was pronounced to the whole country.“First, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone who made it here today. I truly app
