“Shantal.”

Simon’s voice broke through the tense air, sharp and low.

Shantal’s eyes shifted, landing on Simon, calm and steady.

Simon walked over, ignoring Natalie’s smug face entirely. His gaze swept across the scene, the faint red mark on Natalie’s cheek, Shantal’s cool expression, and Ullysis, standing there like a bomb ready to explode.

“What happened?” Simon asked, his tone gentle, but there was an edge to it that only Shantal could catch.

Before Shantal could answer, Natalie jumped in like a trained actress.

“What happened?” she repeated, feigning pitiful innocence. “She hit me. Right in front of everyone.” Her voice wavered as if she was on the verge of tears.

She clung to Ullysis’s arm, eyes wide, trembling like a helpless victim.

Shantal crossed her arms, amused by the performance.

She didn’t bother explaining herself, nor did she spare Natalie a glance.

Simon noticed.

The old Shantal would’ve tried so hard to defend herself, to explain, to prove her worth.

But now? She looke

  • No More You   Chapter 25

    Ullysis’s voice came out low and harsh, almost grinding through his teeth. The look in his eyes was dark, nothing like the man who had once defended her against the Zellweger family.His words made Shantal frown. She thought the word cuckold would drive him over the edge. Yet instead of exploding, he only turned cold and silent. He was too arrogant, and that arrogance almost amused her. She wanted to see how far it would go.Official divorce or not, she no longer wanted to be tied to him. She realized she could not change his mind. Instead, her words had only made him more stubborn.So Shantal decided to provoke him again.“Of course, I wouldn’t mind,” she said smoothly. “After all, it is quite exciting to flirt with other men while still married.” Her eyes sparkled as though she truly looked forward to it.Ullysis’s face darkened. His voice cut through the air.“There is something I must remind you. Natalie is back. If you refuse divorce, will you force her to remain in the shadows a

  • No More You   Chapter 24

    After Ullysis finished lecturing Roger, he turned to Mrs. Zellweger.“You claim to be Shantal’s grandmother. Then what kind of grandmother helps outsiders bully her own granddaughter? If people did not know better, they would think Regina is your real granddaughter.”As his words fell, the room grew heavy. Everyone looked at him. No one could tell if Ullysis truly knew something, or if he was simply standing up for Shantal.But either way, guilt filled the Zellweger family. None of them could speak in defense.Mrs. Zellweger’s face turned red with anger. After a long pause, she forced herself to calm down and looked at Shantal.“Shantal, I am not taking Regina’s side. She may not be your father’s real daughter, but she is his stepdaughter. In other words, part of the family. I only pity her because she is ill. That is why I ask you to show her sympathy.”Shantal found the words amusing, and a laugh escaped her lips.She was about to reply when a cold voice cut in.“If you pity Regina,

  • No More You   Chapter 23

    Shantal had lived with Ullysis long enough to know exactly what kind of man he was.If he was being affectionate now, it wasn’t out of love,just his usual brand of calculated games.She had no interest in playing along.But Regina, sitting across the table, didn’t know that. Her imagination ran wild.Shantal’s different… because she’s his wife.Even with his so-called mysophobia, that explained everything.They kiss, share a bed… so of course, there’s nothing strange about him eating food she served him.In the past, Regina had kept her feelings for Ullysis hidden, no matter how wildly inappropriate they were. But now?Watching him flirt openly with Shantal,her Shantal,the jealousy burned through her like wildfire.It doesn’t matter, she reminded herself, nails biting into her palm again.Dad promised,once Shantal’s out of the picture, Ullysis will be mine.She’d already imagined their future. Their wedding. Their children.And yet, here he was… softly teasing another woman.Shantal,

  • No More You   Chapter 22

    “Shantal, what are you doing?” Mrs. Zellweger’s voice trembled as she spoke, masking her fury with forced calm.After that dangerous display, even she didn’t dare to throw direct insults anymore.Her original plan had been to humiliate Shantal tonight, maybe bring up Wendy, her late mother, but now? One wrong word, and Shantal might flip this house upside down.Shantal raised a brow, a smirk curling at the edge of her lips. “I’m teaching him good manners. Didn’t you understand?” Her eyes narrowed. “Or… do you want me to give him another lesson? Just to be safe?”Mrs. Zellweger clenched her fists, her face flushed with restrained rage.Harver bastard… she cursed silently.Before the situation could explode again, Roger stepped in, his voice sharp and low.“There’s no need for that,” he snapped, his eyes flicking toward Marcus, who still looked shaken. “Let’s just… go back to dinner.”Shantal shrugged casually, as if none of this bothered her. “Fine by me.” She glanced around the room,

    Even though they were only on the phone, Shantal could practically feel Susan’s anger simmering through the line.It took a few seconds, but Susan finally spoke, her voice smooth, rehearsed , the perfect mask.“We’re family,” Susan began softly, as if Shantal hadn’t heard that line a thousand times. “I know you weren’t in the best mood that day. Regina and I… we’ll forgive you.”Shantal sneered to herself. She’s good, I’ll give her that. No wonder she played everyone so easily in my past life.Susan’s voice softened further, almost motherly. “Shantal, I know you’re busy with work, but you still have to eat. We’ve been waiting for you… I’ll go check if the soup is ready.”Before Shantal could shoot back another sharp reply, Susan hurriedly ended the call.Shantal didn’t waste another second thinking about it. She buried herself in work, pushing all unnecessary emotions aside.By the time she looked up again, it was nearly 7:30.Reluctantly, she grabbed her things and headed for the Ze

  • No More You   Chapter 20: Defended the Wrong Woman

    Natalie clenched her fists and forced a tight smile to hide her trembling lips. But her eyes betrayed her, wide, uncertain, burning with quiet frustration.“So… you chose her,” she said softly. Her voice cracked halfway.Her gaze moved to Shantal, who stood calm as ever, as if none of this touched her. The sight only deepened the ache in Natalie’s chest.Ullysis did not answer at once. His jaw tightened, his eyes cold and unreadable as they held on to Natalie’s face. His silence was louder than words.Simon watched with his arms crossed, amused, like a spectator enjoying justice at last.Natalie drew a shaky breath and stepped closer. Pride and desperation fought within her.“Ullysis… are you saying… you never loved me? All those years meant nothing?”For a moment, something flickered in Ullysis’s eyes, guilt, perhaps regret, but it vanished as quickly as it came.“I’m saying…” His voice was low, steady, final. “…you’re the one who walked away.”The words struck like a slap.
