She had always been a good wife and did every house chore and never for once did she complain even when she was poorly treated by her in-laws. One day her husband comes home with a divorce paper and she signed it after crying and begging. But soon her ex-husband and the whole world were about to know her hidden identity and what would be their reaction?

They are not in any relationship" She cleared with a soft chuckle and Darling nodded.However, Sarah who still had something to say took a few steps close to Darling and whispered in Darling's ears, "They would have actually been in a relationship if not for the incident that happened about a year ago," Sarah said and those words were enough to grab all of Darling's attention.Darling whose eyes were glued inside the room turned to face Sarah in a whim the moment she heard what Sarah said."What do you mean by they would have been in a relationship, did something happen?" She asked, curiosity swimming in her eyes as she was prepared to hear some tea spilling."Yep, something did happen. About a year ago, it was announced that Duke and Morgan would be getting married and it had been all over the news and it was the talk of town as people had differe
A little surprised at their attitude towards her, Darling quickly stood up and looked around the place before her gaze fell on the two figures that headed towards the elevator.With her eyes still on them, Morgan and the handsome man stepped into the elevator and the door was soon shut close, leaving Darling to stare at the closed doors of the elevator.With a long soft sigh, Darling looked away and proceeded to help herself up from the floor. She stared down at the stack of files and papers that Morgan had made her carry, she was now torn between carrying it and leaving this place or just leaving it here.After much contemplation, Darling decided that leaving the stack of files and papers here would be best because there was no way she would go through the same episode of carrying those heavy papers around.And with that thought, she walked towards the elevator and thankfully there were two elevators and she made use of the second one and it opened up to reveal a lady standing inside
"With the way you are standing there, a person would never believe you are Mr Sy's daughter." A deep voice stated from a distance, grabbing Darling's attention and Darling turned to see who it was.Seeing the tall figure that stood in a distance with his hands tugged inside his pocket, Darling's eyes grew wide as she recalled where she had seen him. It was the guy from last night!What was he doing here? And who was he by the way? Darling was curious.Duke had never thought he would come across this lady from last night but seeing her now, a smirk found its way to his lips as he wondered why she was here and in this state.But it somehow made sense, she was Mr Sy's daughter and had every right to be here but why does she look like that?This morning in his house, it had been war during breakfast because the news of what his mother had said to Mrs Sy and their spoilt princess had gotten to his grandfather's ears and the old man was mad.His grandfather, Mr Grant wanted him to marry the
For some odd reasons yet to be known and as crazy as it may sound, Darling felt off even though she didn't want to. Why was she heading to the same place as Morgan but she was currently the only person who appeared off, like she didn't dress for the occasion?These thoughts occupied Darling's mind but she decided to shove the thought aside as she entered the vehicle right after Morgan and the driver drove off.The journey to the Sy family's company was a silent one, neither Morgan nor Darling exchanged words with each other and Darling preferred it that way because who knows what next might come out of Morgan's unhinged mouth.Unhinged? Now that was a little bit creative, thought Darling to herself.A few minutes had passed and they finally arrived at the company, it was a huge skyscraper and to think Darling would be stepping into this building. All her life, she had never seen an opportunity that would ever bring her to places like this, not that it worried her.The word 'Sy's Enter
Breakfast was soon over with both Mr and Mrs Sy alongside Grandpa Sy leaving for the company, of course, they never forgot to bid Darling goodbye before leaving.Now Darling was left with the other girl seated beside her, the girl was a blonde and during the few times Darling threw occasional glances at the blonde girl, she noticed the piercings on her nose, she also wore heavy makeup which Darling thought was too much considering this was still morning.At first, no one said anything to each other as the blonde lady concentrated on her food without sparing Darling a glance. Darling was very much curious about this girl because Mrs Sy had introduced the blonde girl as her daughter, adopted daughter and Darling felt that made sense.Darling who couldn't keep her curiosity at bay slightly tilted her head and stole a glance at the blonde lady whose name was Morgan and that was the exact moment Morgan stared back at her and they both locked gazes with Darling now red from embarrassing be
The next day, Darling woke up with a start from a nightmare, her body wet due to how much she had sweat. Her breathing was heavy and loud while she sat on the bed trying to recall what the dream was about. Her eyes roamed around the room subconsciously and that was when she realized this wasn't the room she usually woke up in, this was a different room. This must be a room in Mr and Mrs Sy's mansion. Mr and Mrs Sy? Shouldn't she be referring to them as her parents? Well, that wouldn't be easy because it was something she wasn't used to. She stood up from the bed and walked towards the full length mirror and stared at her own reflection. Her nightmare was a strange one. She remembered a wild animal was chasing her but it had Stanley's face instead of that of an animal which made it even more weird. She sighed and sat back on her bed, she looked around the room again and noted how it was a princess-like bedroom. She sighed as she closed her eyes while asking herself why she would
Darling stood where she was with her eyes still lingering in the direction where the perfect handsome man just walked towards till he was out of sight.She sighed and sat down on the stairs, her body could still physically and mentally recall the feeling of him so close to her and his scent, there was something healing about the way he smelled.Darling remained there for a while before she proceeded to stand up and walk back into the hall where the dinner party was still ongoing, she was going to look for her 'new parents and grandfather' to inform them that she would be leaving.She was already tired and bored as she had nothing specific to do, everything she was meant to do was already done and right now she only wanted rest and nothing more.She walked around the place in search of the people she needed and this left her in a situation where she greeted and smiled at people politely as she walked around and this only made her even more tired.Her feet were already hurting from walk
The dinner party went on with everyone chatting around with both people they knew and the ones they newly met and whatever it is the social elites do in gatherings like this.By this time, Darling already felt bored as she wasn't used to things like this. She made sure no one noticed her while she snuck out of the party through the back door.It was already dark outside and the moon was out and bright with the stars scattered in the sky looking all dreamy and beautiful.The moment she stepped outside, the chill night breeze hit her exposed skin, causing her to take a deep breath while slowly running her hands around her arms to provide a little warmth.She sighed as she looked up into the sky, her head filled with many thoughts while her ears took in the sound of insects who were crying, a sign of life.She then looked around before her thoughts went to how she had been a simple girl all her life and beared a simple name till she married Stanley and also beared his name and now here sh
Questions of why the granddaughter of the richest family hasn't been known to the world for so long filled everyone's head as they stared at her beautiful face."Everyone should please enjoy the party." Grandpa David said and turned to face Darling as they smiled at each other, he held her shoulders and gave her a lovely kiss on her cheeks, he saw no reason why he shouldn't show off his granddaughter.And afterwards left the podium through the red curtain, Darling now looked at the guest. Though a bright smile formed on her lips, her heart was beating as fast as anything fast.She stepped down the podium with graceful steps and just immediately after she stepped down, people were quick to swarm around her.Both men and women, young and old. They introduced themselves and showed off their wealth hoping to impress her.The men greeted her and tried to woo her with their wealth and whatever valuables they owned, young women praised her in hopes of being friends with her.Older men and wo
