After a late night of work, I was about to go home when I noticed Cale right there in the parking lot. He's sitting on the hood of his car while scrolling through his phone.

“Hey,” I called to get his attention. He immediately looked in my direction and smiled.

“Hey,” he said and walked towards me. I was about to ask him a question about what he was doing here, hanging out in the parking lot by himself, when he abruptly gestured with his hands, “May I carry your things for you?”

“Uhm…” That w

    Cale was on the rooftop smoking his cigar when a maan in full tuxedo walked towards him. “Mr. Sullivan, here's the information you asked us to find.” The man stated. Cale just turns his head at him with cold eyes. His gaze landed on the envelope that the man was handing to him. Cale stomped on his cigarette after he dropped it, and grabbed the envelope from the man's hands. “Is this everything?” he askedThe man simply nodded, “Yes, sir.”He immediately opened the envelope and took his time to read everything on the paper. “Damian Miller… Isla Everhart… Victoria Miller…” Cale uttered as he scanned the papers. “Hmm… interesting…”“We also found out that Victoria Miller has a cheating background back before she got married to her current spouse, Matthew Miller.” The man added“Cheating, huh? Seems like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.” Cale grins. “How'd you find it?” He asked “It wasn't easy, sir. Victoria Miller isn't a celebrity, so her information is very private. But w

    After a late night of work, I was about to go home when I noticed Cale right there in the parking lot.

I was about to ask him a question about what he was doing here, hanging out in the parking lot by himself, when he abruptly gestured with his hands, “May I carry your things for you?”“Uhm…” That was the only word I could utter as I stared at his hands. I was completely speechless by his actions. I know I agreed to see him for a social experiment, but this is quite sudden for me. He slightly tilted his head, looking at me confused. I awkwardly smile, “I got this. Don't worry.” “No, it's okay.” He insisted, “The only thing I could do to fulfill my role is to make everything look convincing. How else will you make your husband furious if our ‘affection’ doesn't look realistic?” I blinked

    I frowned when I saw Isla and Damian on a billboard ad. I know they're doing promotions together but I couldn't look at them the same when I know what already happened between them. Up until this day, I kept thinking about the time I saw them on our bed. It's hard to move on when you know to yourself that memory will forever haunt you for the rest of your married life. I looked at Cale's card again. It's been a few days. I know I refused at first but after hearing what Damian said to me during the gala, I gave it a lot of thought and consideration. I will accept Cale's offer. Not because I wanted to, but because I want to prove Damian wrong that I am not his leftover. I am no one's left over.I stopped in front of a huge building. I looked at the card to confirm that I’m in the right address. This is probably where Cale works. Come to think of it, I never knew his occupation. He's probably one of the employees here or something, because why would he give this exact address if h

    I received an invitation for the exclusive gala. The host and organizers only select a few celebrities and, fortunately, I am part of it. These types of parties are a great opportunity to meet new people and to increase your social status in the entertainment industry. A lot of famous people are invited here too. For instance, veteran actors and actresses, top models, fashion designers, singers, and even producers. They held these kinds of galas every year. Since it's exclusive, I can't even bring a plus one. But it would be nice to bring Ellie with me if I had a chance. Days passed by, and I arrived at the venue. I only saw a few paparazzi around. They took photos before I went inside. The lights are glowing in a vintage way. I greeted every single one I knew as soon as they noticed me. “Giselle! So glad you made it!” Alexandria Chepliev greeted me, she's the main reason why such galas existed in the first place. She owns a huge business empire throughout the country, especially

    “I’m saying you can use me to get over your cheating husband.” he stated, which left me defenseless and utterly speechless.Is he being serious right now?I laughed at his words. I can't tell whether he's joking or not, but his statement is hilarious. “You can't be serious.” I uttered and drank the cold water in front of me after laughing hysterically “What if I am?” He uttersI looked at him. My expression changes when I realized he is really not kidding around just to tease me “I don't mind being used as a rebound,” he grins, “And since he cheated on you, why won't you give him a taste of his own medicine?”“I— I can't do that,” I stated. I can't just use someone even if they insist. “It's up to you. But if you change your mind, you can give me a call.” he utters and gave me a card with his details and phone numberI hesitated, but it feels like my hands have a mind of its own. All I know is his card is already in my hand. “Please tell me you're just joking,” I stated, “This is

    I stared at myself in the mirror as I fixed my make up and hair. I am wearing a casual yet elegant looking outfit for my dinner with Cale. The memories where I went on my first date with Damian often came to mind. And I hate the fact that I kept remembering it. My phone pings abruptly so I picked it up to check my notifications. It's just random people tagging and privately messaging me. Some are asking for my side of the story and some are just plainly hating me. I turned my phone to ‘do not disturb’ and shut it down. Victoria has already done a lot of damage to my image. And I don't think she'll stop anytime soon. My heart sank as I thought of it. All of this happened to me because I trusted and loved my husband.I placed my phone on the drawer so I won't be tempted to look at it and see what people are gonna say about my issue. Tonight, I wanted to know everything about myself, even though there's another person involved. I have to keep in mind that I'm going to dinner with C
