Chapter 9

Penulis: Bye Chubs
"An unknown painter's work is nothing but a pile of trash!" Tanya screeched.

That got Emma fired up. She snapped back, "At least Giselle's paintings are admired and collected, unlike some people who get used and tossed aside. They're worth less than this trash!"

It took Tanya a while to catch on. She cornered Emma against the wall with her bodyguards, then raised her hand high and slapped her. "You bitch! You and Giselle Townsend are both bitches! I could crush you like an ant, you know? It's that easy!"

Emma raised her chin, refusing to be cowed. "Please! You're just a homewrecker clinging to a man's power. Did you really think you were a big deal?"

Tanya seized Emma's jaw. Her sharp nails dug in and split the skin, leaving bright red marks. "I made sure Giselle couldn't survive here anymore, and I can do the same to you! So what if she's so high and mighty? She still got branded a homewrecker.

  • Seven-Day Affair: My Husband Wants the Intern   Chapter 11

    Maybe it was because I'd been around Isaac too long and picked up his ways. I used to keep things short and simple; now, I found myself piling on playful compliments like I was comforting a kid.His face really was beautiful. At least in my work, his portraits were always the ones people fought over. His face was worth a lot. I couldn't let it get hurt.…With Emma joining us, the establishment of the gallery progressed twice as quickly.On the day the new gallery opened, Isaac and I had just finished our remarks when Anthony showed up. He held out a diamond ring and dropped to one knee. "Giselle, I want to propose to you again on this important day. Will you marry me?"He looked at me, but his gaze kept darting to Isaac standing beside me. I knew this meant he was jealous, so I took Isaac's arm and smiled. "No, I won't. As you can see, I've moved on with someone new. Please stop bothering me."The color drained from Anthony's face, but he refused to back down. He pulled out a se

    "She calls herself an educated woman now, but she's just a habitual homewrecker.""She even twisted the truth to smear the actual wife. For someone like her, getting beaten to death wouldn't feel like enough!""Yeah, exactly."Tanya's home address was posted online, and the people she had deceived showed up to "visit". They came one after another to splash paint, throw rotten eggs, and pile up garbage at her door.She called Anthony dozens of times, but all her calls went unanswered. In the end, she had to suit up, brace herself, and leave the house.The moment she stepped outside, a rotten egg smashed into her head, followed by a barrage of curses. When she finally flagged down a cab, the driver took one look at her messy state and thought of the recent gossip. "You're a mistress, aren't you? I'm not taking you!"He hit the gas and took off.After a struggle, Tanya made it to the company, only to be stopped at the entrance by security."Ms. Lindt, you can't go in. Mr. Walker h

    After realizing I'd dismissed his heartfelt confession, Anthony's composure shattered. "This brooch doesn't suit you. Don't wear it again. And we're done, so stop clinging to me. Don't you dare cause a scene in front of Giselle!"He clenched the brooch and stormed off, paying no mind to Tanya's wildly twisted expression.In his car, after his 30th failed attempt to call me, he reached out to his secretary, who could do anything. "You have three days. Find out where Giselle is."…Meanwhile, I landed in Alden. On the steps of Monarchy Square, I watched the Citadel cast a diamond-shaped shadow that slowly swept across the old town.A strange sense of belonging rose up inside me. This was the place I'd chosen to further my studies. It would also be a fresh start for my painting career.I stood before a copy of The Vinelord's Festival in an art gallery. On the linen canvas, still-wet ultramarine was quietly sliding downward when I heard someone speak in standard Dalean behind me."I

  • Seven-Day Affair: My Husband Wants the Intern   Chapter 7

    Every item was labeled with the date it was given. There was a mountain of gifts from our first year of marriage, but when it got to the seventh year, the divorce agreement was all there was.Anthony tore everything open one by one, surprised to find three identical Cartier bracelets. When had he become so nonchalant about our relationship? No wonder I refused to forgive him.He stood among the torn boxes, holding one empty case, feeling secretly thrilled. It was supposed to hold "Beloved", the brooch he'd given me, but the brooch was missing.A slow smile crept across his face, and there was a note of certainty in his voice. "You still can't let me go, can you? Makes sense. Since you've caused such a scene this time, I'll just work a bit harder to placate you."His muttering was cut short by a phone call. When he saw Tanya's name flashing on the screen, his smile vanished instantly. The phone rang again and again until he finally answered, irritated. "What do you want?"She seeme

    "Why did you block my number? Didn't we agree to remarry today? I've been waiting at City Hall for an hour… Where are you now? I'll come find—I'll pick you up," Anthony said.Just then, the plane's announcement rang out, and the line went quiet. Even through the phone, I could hear Anthony's heavy breathing."Giselle, are you leaving? Where are you going?"After two seconds of silence, I hung up and powered off my phone. Since the choice had been made, there was no turning back. That applied to both him and me.Anthony flew into a sudden rage as he stared at the disconnected call. He dialed again, but a cold, mechanical voice said, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently powered off."He listened, stunned, until the reality sank in. I was serious this time. I had no intention of remarrying him, and I wasn't going to take him back.He only snapped back to his senses when Emma tugged the phone from his hand. He grabbed her wrist, panicked. "Where did Giselle go?"She shot
