LOGIN“How about I introduce you to my woman?” He was now right in front of me, staring so intently at me that I thought I would burn up under his scrutiny. I looked behind me, trying to see the person he was referring to as “his woman” but no one was there. Then I looked back at him with widened and confused eyes, pointing at myself, “Me?!” And before my head could fully get a grasp of what he meant, I felt a strong arm wrapping around my body, pulling me closer to him, my body pressing against him and his mouth came crashing onto mine. There was a loud gasp, followed by different shutter of camera. I froze. *************** Charlotte Harper has spent eight years in a marriage no one knew about—except his family. Clyde Wellington treated her with cold indifference, yet she endured it with a smile, clinging to the one thing she was grateful for: staying by her side despite her inability to conceive and eventually helping her become a mother through surrogacy. But her world shatters when she discovers the unimaginable—the child she has raised for six years is not hers at all, but the daughter of her husband’s mistress. Divorce seems the only option but how can she walk away after all she sacrificed? Clyde is certain Charlotte will never leave him. What he never expects is to see her again in the arms of the most powerful man in the world, a man who looks at her as if she were his entire universe. He offers her not just power, but a love that can heal the deepest wounds. “Stay away from her, she is my wife!” “Wife? I thought we were in an open relationship.”
View MoreI felt something shifting in the room.Skepticism? Or was it amusement?Can’t really tell but invoiced some exchanging glances.Phina’s smile didn’t fade but it only sharpened. “You?” she asked with a mocking scoff. “Are you sure you’re not dreaming?”“Am I?”Phina gave a small, dismissive shake of her head. “Seriously, I’d advise you to be careful saying things like that. There are a lot of people out there claiming to be her—pretending to have access they don’t. And in the end? They just end up embarrassing themselves… or worse, scamming people.”“Mm.” Lucy nodded thoughtfully, as if taking the warning to heart. “Thank you. That’s very useful.”“But since you’re so close to her,” Lucy continued, “I assume you already know about the party.”There was a small pause, her eyes doing a quick wondering.“The party?” Phina repeated.“Yes.” Lucy smiled faintly. “The one where she’ll finally make a proper public appearance. Her first official reveal.”Whispers filled everywhere.“What party?
I almost laughed. The irony of that sentence, in this room, in front of Lucy and me, from his mouth specifically—it was almost too much.What surprised me more, though, was the chorus of voices rising now. These same classmates; I remember them clearly. Back then, some were watching with amusement, others walking away like it had nothing to do with them.And now…they are telling her to stop.So what changed?Had they really grown up? Outgrown the cruelty they once wore so easily?Or were they just protecting themselves now—afraid that the truth might resurface, that they had in one way or the other participated in bullying during their high school days. And now, they had something on the line—a polished lives, that might get ruined if such rumours were out?I scanned their faces. Eyes flickered. Shoulders shifted. Gazes dropped the moment they met mine.A soft scoff slipped past my lips.As I realized… they hadn’t changed. Not really.They’d just learned how to hide it better.And
I turned. Toward where the voice just came from. Only to see her waking through the door, her arm wrapped around Alexa’s. A huge mixture of smug and smile on her face as she walked closer.And my hand tightened around my bag. Anger surging through me. Memories of years ago, flooding back.But despite everything, despite her smile, the way she walked, the way she carried herself… I could tell something never change in her. "Bitter?" One of our former classmates whose name was Sam, let out a short laugh. "Phina, building a company from scratch isn't as sways as you think. Not everyone can do it."Phina scoffed. "And what exactly do you even know about owning a company? It’s not as if your parents have one or you inherited one."“You…”"Yes, that’s right. Or am I lying?” Sam face flushed with humiliation and he angrily went back to his seat.And looking at Phina, I think she had done a background work on each of us, to know how we have been living all these years. She seems to be wel
I scoffed.Disgraceful? A common street woman?Then what would we call his and Flora’s action?Another message came in,“But… after thinking about it, I realized few of your words are right. I have been totally unfair to you recently.”My brows lifted slightly, not in surprise, but in disbelief.Unfair?Was that the only thing he think it was?The word felt almost laughable.“I know you were drunk, but you said what was on your mind. So I’ve decided to make it up to you. I’ll start treating you better from now on.”I stared at the message over and over again. What’s wrong with him? Is he the same Clyde?“But for us to start over, you’ll have to do something for me. Because I’m still angry about the way you speak to me last night. It was rude. And uncultured. A well mannered wife should not speak to her husband like that! That alone is one of the major reason for divorce. But…I am some with a bigger heart.”Bigger heart?I let out a dry laugh.Fine let’s hear it. The real reason.
