My Secondhand Computer Came With My Fiancé's Nudes Chapter 10
Three months later, my solo gallery was launched in Portia.Mom looped her arm through mine, and her eyes were red-rimmed. "You did it, Sadie."Dad stood next to her and stared at the paintings in silence for a long time before saying just one word. "Good."For the past three months, I had cut myself off from nearly everyone back home and completely buried myself in paint and canvas. That agony that once tore me apart was stripped away and reshaped, stroke by stroke, until it became the silent works hanging on the walls.Renee sent me a text. "Congratulations to our great artist! Have a few extra glasses for me!"Just after I replied to her, a familiar figure that appeared at the entrance instantly drew everyone's gaze.It was Landon. Dressed in a perfectly tailored dray grey trench coat, he moved through the crowd straight toward me, carrying a bouquet of irises."I hope you don't mind me showing up uninvited, Ms. Holden," he said, handing me the flowers. Mom and Dad were visib

I stared at the digital tablet Landon held out, at the blaring numbers and evidence on the screen.Deep down, I knew that this wasn't just a simple love affair anymore. It was an undercurrent that threatened Dad's reputation and our family's interests.Knowing that I couldn't run from this anymore, I looked away from the screen and tightened my grip on Landon's business card. This wasn't about revenge; it was about taking back what belonged to Dad and me."I'll work with you, Mr. Rothschild."My voice was calm and carried an unwavering resolve.Landon smiled, not with smugness, but with the quiet confidence of a man in total control."Ms. Holden, you'll soon realize that we're the perfect allies."He handed me a folder and continued, "This is our preliminary partnership proposal, along with details on an important project Zane's company is currently bidding on. This is where we start to make our move."My fingertips felt chilled as I took the document.Landon's plan was meticu

Cassie's face instantly twisted the moment she was shoved out the door by Renee. She spun around, and her voice turned sharp and shrill."Sadie Holden! Do you seriously think you've won?"She pointed at me and started lashing out venomously. "Let me tell you something—you'll never be happy! A selfish woman like you deserves to be cheated on!"You think Zane loves you when in truth, he's just used to you. He loves me, and he'll come crawling back to beg me!"She even brought up the child again. Her tone was laced with a threat as she shrieked, "Don't think you can just run away! That child will haunt you for the rest of your life!"I shut the door and cut off her shouting, while Renee walked over and patted my shoulder. "Don't mind her. She's just a lunatic."I knew I had to leave tomorrow, so I returned to the guest room, where my suitcase was fully packed. I took out my passport and flight ticket, then double-checked the flight details.Renee walked in and handed me a glass of

Zane's harassment became routine. He appeared under my office building, at the gates of Renee's complex, and even outside my parents' apartment. Time and again, he tried to intercept me and dropped to his knees to beg for my forgiveness in a raw, horse voice."Please, Sadie. Just give me one chance."I can't live without you. I'm so sorry, and I know that I've messed up."But his tragic act only made me sick. All I wanted was to escape as soon as possible.I changed my flight to Portia to tomorrow. My suitcase was packed, so all I had to do was wait for morning.…Night fell. Renee had gone to bed, while I sat in the living room doing a final check of my suitcase bound for Portia.Suddenly, a frantic knocking shattered the silence. My heart clenched as I assumed it was Zane again.Renee was jolted awake. She threw on a jacket and stormed out of her room, ready to launch a tirade. But I motioned for her to stay back and looked through the peephole.It wasn't Zane standing out

Outside the door, Zane's voice had grown hoarse and cracked with sobs."I know you're in there, Sadie! Open the door! Please, just open the door!"This is all a misunderstanding! I'm so sorry that I messed up!"Renee rushed forward to yank the door open, but I stopped her. Then I took a deep breath—not to steady my nerves, but to make sure my voice came out cold and steady.When I opened the door, Zane stood there looking pathetic in the night air. His hair was a mess, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was a clear handprint on his cheek.The moment he saw me, it was as if he had spotted his lifeline. He lunged forward and tried to pull me into his arms, but I stepped aside, and his hands froze midair.As he stumbled back, his eyes were full of hurt and disbelief."Sadie… a-are you really doing this to me?" he stammered. "Listen to me—Cassie is just an intern. S-She's just too young to know any better."When she clung to me, I-I tried to turn her down, but she was so persistent
My Secondhand Computer Came With My Fiancé's Nudes Chapter 5
When Zane burst into the ballroom, the giant screen was frozen on an image of him and Cassie locked in a deep kiss.He saw his parents' ashen faces and heard the guests' hushed whispers. Every pair of eyes felt like a knife stabbing into his skin.He instinctively wanted to explain, but his throat felt blocked. Grant's raw, stinging slap still burned on his cheek.He stared at the screen in a daze. The man on it was him, yet he felt like a stranger.When he turned to Lydia, her eyes were red and swollen, but she only gave him a cold glance before looking away.Grant's chest heaved as he pointed at Zane, too choked with rage to even say a single word.Zane opened his mouth, but ended up swallowing every explanation he had.He looked around at the room full of friends and family, people who had once offered us their warmest blessings. Now, only contempt and shock were written all over their faces."Look at what you've done!"Grant's voice trembled, not from anger, but from overw
