로그인ChloeI drove through the dark streets with tears streaming down my face and my hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles had turned white. I couldn't go to my parents with this, they couldn't know that something was wrong on my wedding night or they would ask too many questions and I didn't have any answers that wouldn't make me look pathetic.Diana's mansion appeared ahead and I felt a rush of relief when I saw that the lights were still on. She would understand what I was going through, she would know exactly what to do because she always knew what to do.I pulled into the circular driveway and parked haphazardly before getting out of the car. I was still wearing my silk robe over the lingerie I had worn to seduce my husband and I must have looked completely disheveled, but I didn't care anymore.I walked to the front door on shaking legs and knocked urgently. The housekeeper opened it almost immediately and her eyes widened when she saw the state I was in."Mrs. Hunt
MitchelleThe Rolls Royce pulled through the gates of the Roth Estate and I let out a breath I didn't realize I had been holding. The adrenaline from crashing the wedding was finally starting to wear off and exhaustion was creeping in at the edges.Dorian reached over and took my hand as the car came to a stop in front of the mansion."You were magnificent tonight," he stated with genuine admiration in his voice."We were magnificent," I corrected as I squeezed his hand. "That was a team effort."We walked into the house and I immediately kicked off my heels in the foyer with a groan of relief. Dorian laughed and bent down to pick them up for me."Comfortable shoes were never part of the revenge plan?" he teased."Beauty is pain," I replied dramatically. "And watching Diana's face turn purple was worth every blister."We settled into the living room and Dorian poured us both glasses of water from the bar. I collapsed onto the plush sofa and tucked my feet underneath me."I'm sure Dian
JasonAfter the ceremony, Vincent pulled up in front of the mansion and turned around to look at us with a tired but genuine smile."Congratulations one more time," he stated. "And Jason, I don't hope to see you at work tomorrow man."I forced a short grin and nodded."Yeah, don't worry about that," I replied.Vincent drove away and I stood there for a moment looking at the house. I had spent the entire week preparing for this moment. The staff had followed all my instructions perfectly, rose petals scattered from the front stairs all the way up to our bedroom, and an exquisite meal waiting for us upstairs.I bent down and lifted Chloe into my arms to carry her across the threshold. She was lighter than I expected despite the pregnancy."Jason stop," Chloe protested immediately. "We can't be doing this romantic stuff right now, not when our enemies are married and probably sleeping soundly while we're here pretending everything is fine.""Leave that for tomorrow," I insisted as I carr
JasonVincent drove the car toward the reception venue while Chloe sat beside me seething with rage. Her hands were clenched into fists on her lap and I could see her chest rising and falling rapidly as she tried to control her breathing."What the hell does she think she's doing showing up at my wedding like that?" Chloe exploded. "I thought she was gone, I thought we were finally rid of her!""That's not even the main problem," I stated as my mind raced. "Why did she show up with my uncle Dorian?"Chloe whipped her head around to stare at me."You didn't even know he was in town?" she demanded.Something clicked in my memory and I sat up straighter."Hold on, hold on," I said quickly. "I saw him at the hospital the day I went to see Chelley after she was admitted. I saw him leaving the building and getting into an expensive car but I thought it was just a coincidence."Chloe's eyes went wide and she screamed at Vincent."Stop the fucking car!"Vincent slammed on the brakes and pulle
MitchelleI walked into the church holding Dorian's arm and felt every eye in the room turn toward us. The shock on their faces was visible even from the entrance, and I had to suppress the smile threatening to break across my face.Dorian found two empty seats in the middle section and gently ushered me to sit down. We settled into the pew directly between Diana and Chloe's mother, both of whom looked like they had seen a ghost and couldn't decide whether to speak or stay silent.Diana's face had gone completely pale and her mouth hung open slightly. Chloe's mother was gripping her clutch bag so tightly her knuckles had turned white. Neither of them seemed capable of looking away from us.The minister cleared his throat awkwardly and looked at Jason."Shall we continue?" he questioned."Yes, please," Jason replied through gritted teeth.I could clearly see that the expressions on both Jason and Chloe's faces had completely changed from the joy they had displayed moments before. Jason
Chapter Forty-NineJasonI stood at the front door adjusting my watch that same evening of the divorce finalization, when Chloe's bridesmaids started arriving at the mansion. It was our bachelor/bachelorette party.Their excited chatter and laughter filled the entrance as they carried champagne bottles and decorative bags for the bridal shower.Chloe appeared at the top of the stairs looking radiant in a silk robe with her hair already styled for the evening festivities."Have fun tonight, babe," she called down to me. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do."I smiled and blew her a kiss before walking out to my car. My phone rang just as I started the engine and Vincent's name appeared on the screen."Where are you?" he questioned. "I'm already waiting.""On my way now," I replied. "Be there in fifteen minutes."I drove through the city streets toward the club that Vincent and I owned together. The familiar neon sign came into view and I parked in my reserved spot behind the building befor
MitchelleI pushed my chair back from the table and stood up while reaching for my purse, and I was almost to the dining room door when Jason's voice cut through the silence."So you're interested in Mr. William now?" Jason demanded while his tone dripped with anger. "You're actually going to honou
JasonThe next morning I woke to Chloe already dressed in a pale pink dress that showed off her growing belly, and she was humming while applying makeup at the small vanity in the corner."You're up early," I observed while sitting up and rubbing my eyes."I have an appointment at the hospital this
JasonI pushed open the front door and dropped my briefcase in the foyer, and the house felt unusually quiet for this time of evening."Chloe?" I called out as I loosened my tie and headed toward the living room.No response came back, I frowned as she was supposed to be home from the hospital hour
JasonI followed Chloe down the hallway while she sobbed dramatically with her hands covering her face, and when we finally reached the guest room she spun around to face me with mascara running down her cheeks."I'm calling my mother right now," Chloe threatened while reaching for her phone on the
