Lola's POV

As I watched Isaac pick Whitney up, a smile curved the side of my lips. Soon, my phone chimes of a text message from Whitney.

‘Golden palace, room 2098’

I didn’t hesitate to forward the text to Regina, a slow mischievous smirk invades my face.

Now, all I have to do is wait for the drama.

Isaac Jacob, do not blame me for being cruel, you were cruel to me first.

I put my phone back in my purse and relaxed my back on the ride back to the hotel.

Third person’s POV

Isaac dragged Whitney along as he pushed open the door to the hotel room with a sharp curse already on his lips.

Whitney managed to free herself as they stepped inside, letting out a little gasp. She turned a glare at him.

“What the fuck were you doing with my wife?” Isaac demanded, his voice hard with anger.

Whitney blinked.

“You think I went there on purpose? I only found out afterward” she said with a hiss.

Isaac raked a hand through his hair, pacing once before turning back to her. “You need to quit” he ordered.

Anger flashed in Whitney’s eyes for a second, but she forced a smile and moved closer slowly, she slipped her arms around his neck.

“Are you worried your wife is going to catch us?” She whispered. “I thought you said she’s a fool and she would never know”

Isaac held her waist, but his expression remained troubled. “I doubt that,” he muttered. “I can’t be careless around Lola anymore.”

Whitney paused. Of course, she has seen the video that went viral a week ago. She formed a smile on her face and tilted her head, she kissed him before he could continue.

The tension in his face loosened almost instantly. He kissed her back, harder this time, and for a moment he forgot every warning running through his mind.

They stumbled toward the bed together, their passion burns hotter by the second. Isaac loosened his button impatiently.

Just then, the door burst open and Regina stormed inside, her eyes blazing flames. The moment she saw the two on the bed, she screamed in anger.

“You slut!”

She lunged at Whitney, but Isaac grabbed her quickly and shoved her back with force that made her stagger back.

Regina stared at him in disbelief, her anger rose. “Are you protecting her? Protecting your life whore?”

Isaac’s eyes shot out in irritation as he stood between both of them to stop her from hurting Whitney.

Recovering from Regina’s sudden appearance, Whitney straightened her dress and said coldly, moving a bit away from Isaac’s cover.

“Isaac isn’t even your husband, you’re a mistress too.” She crossed her arms against her chest as she scoffs arrogantly

“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were the wife”

The words hit Regina like a dirty slap, her face twisted with fury. She turned to Isaac swiftly and grabbed him.

“You would watch her insult me?!” she screamed again.

Isaac gazed infuriated, he shoved her hand away with a loud hiss, Regina must have not expected the push, she fell with a loud thud to the floor instead.

“After everything I’ve done for you, ungrateful bastard” she yelled, faking tears.

Isaac let out an exasperated grunt.

“You did that on your own,” he shot back.

“I never asked you to. You forced yourself into my life in the first place. I never genuinely loved you.”

Regina looked as if she might explode, the confession shook her to her bones. She didn’t expect that Isaac has never truly loved her all these years.

Isaac’s voice grew even colder. “What’s between us is only a business affair. You think I would be stupid enough to end up with a woman who could poison her own husband?”

He asked with a hint of mockery and gave a low chuckle.

Regina’s expression turned paler at his words. Her hands clenched against the cold floor as she stared dagger at him. In a second, hatred filled her eyes.

Meanwhile, Whitney focused her phone which was busy recording the whole scene going down, she watched carefully at the two so she wouldn’t be caught.

Regina got up slowly and pointed a trembling finger at Isaac. “You’re going to regret this, Isaac Jacob” she swore, and in a frenzy state, she marched out of the room.

Whitney immediately let her shoulders shake, pretending to be frightened. She rushed to Isaac who pulled her into his arms

“It’s okay,” he murmured. “She can’t do anything.”

As he held her, Whitney lowered her hand behind his back and pressed Send.

Lola’s POV

I watched the video appeared on her phone. She played it without hesitation and even laughed at the hilarious scene.

It was perfect, just what I wanted.

“Let’s give the public some buzz tonight” I stretched the phone to Anabel.

Anabel stared at me clearly stunned.

“Are you sure? This is also bad on your image too” she advised.

I smiled.

“I’ll let the world see a wife who was betrayed by the husband she loved and worshiped. They will keep watching, waiting to see whether I break or rise from it, and every eye on me will become an eye on my brand”

I looked at Anabel who stared again with her jaw dropped. She raised her thumb up at me. Then, an idea spout inside my head.

“Wait, first there’s someone that needs to see the video” I said and Anabel’s brows furrowed a little.

I took the phone from her and searched for a contact, afterwards, I handed it over for Anabel who edited the video a little bit

With a glance up at me, she hit send.
