Yvette drove herself to the nearest Mall to shop. She needs new clothes! She wants to use the two months left of her vacation before her work.

And maybe two months of punishing Clyde is enough because she’s disgusted to pretend to be his wife that long. Seeing his face every day reminds her of her twin’s death. After that, she will reveal that her twin already died and it’s because of his cheating issue! Clyde will probably live miserably for a lifetime after knowing someone died because he’s an ass.

I bet the motherfucker might dig his own grave just to repent for his sins…

But Yvette has another mission. She wants to know the mistress. She wants to catch them red-handed. She wants to see the thick-faced bitch who has the guts to settle as a cheap mistress!

Does she think I’ll let her breathe in peace too? My twin is just too nice to let them get away with their sins but I won’t tolerate them! Not on my watch!

She shopped for all the clothes she need for a month. And yes, the used credit cards of Clyde to keep her own money. She won’t waste a single penny for that motherfucker. Since she’s pretending as his wife, why not use his money?

Besides he’s a cheater. This is just a small amount for all of his shit!

Yvette bought clothes ten pairs of Chanel clothes, two designer bags, five pairs of expensive heels, and jewelry. She made sure all of her purchases will cost eight digits within a day.

And Clyde was literally notified about the purchases on his card. His brows furrowed after seeing how much money his wife spent in just an hour.

Clyde leaned on his swivel chair and stared at the laptop blankly. He started reminiscing how Yvonne shopped in the past. She can only spend seven digits a month. She’s not that materialistic. She’s happy with her books and some pairs of clothes. She’s not that fancy…

Clyde stared at the purchase while it kept on increasing, which means his wife that was possessed by a demon is not yet done shopping!

“God…” he shut his eyes and massage the bridge of his nose while thinking how many days he needs to work his ass off just to earn the amount of money she spent within a day!

Their company is one of the leading companies in Asia. It’s a big deal. They’re the main supplier of construction since their firm is the biggest in the country. They’re earning billions.

But Clyde can’t believe he has a wife who spent like a millionaire itself! He licked his lower lip. He can feel that she’s literally giving her a headache which she did successfully.

He called his lawyer immediately to free his card but something about it made him stop. Yvonne never spoils herself. He might loathe her for letting her parents control her, but Yvonne never used his money selfishly. Her last purchase before this was a teddy bear for their king-sized bed since Yvonne used it as a shield between them.

He sighed and slowly placed the telephone back. He let Yvonne’s big amount of purchase slide.

“So I need to double time now since I have a materialistic wife is that it, Clyde?” he mumbled to himself while working his ass off in front of the laptop.

He’s scowling while doing his work, thinking how his wife enjoyed swiping his card for her own satisfaction.

“Alice. Call her to go home right now. She already consumed too much time shopping,” Clyde ordered the personal maid of Yvonne.

“Alright Sir…” and she dismissed herself.

Yvette was busy choosing a nice shade of lipstick while holding a glass of champagne in Dior’s store when Yvonne’s phone rang.

She looked at the screen and found the ‘Yaya Alice’ calling. She sighed and calmed her voice just to achieve Yvonne’s soft voice.

“Hello Yaya Alice?” she said sweetly.

“Mrs. Smith, your husband said you need to go home now…”

“Tell her I’m not yet done shopping…” she said in a soft tone.

Her eyes roamed around while the saleslady followed her. She holding some of her purchases. There are makeups and perfumes. She even included some new glasses.

“But your husband is already looking for you…” Alice said and saw Clyde signaling to pass the phone to him.

Clyde put the phone on his ear, expecting her rude and cold voice in the background but he didn’t expect her tone of voice.

“Tell him I am not yet finished. I’m still choosing some makeups for myself…” like a baby whining cutely.

Her soft voice… so she’s just acting mean to me huh? So this is how sweet she talks to her personal maid? This isn’t how she talks to me in a sweet manner. This voice sounded like a pleading of a sexy voice, almost enchanting and soothing…

Clyde cleared his throat when he realized his thoughts about it.

“Mr. Smith?” Yvette’s voice thickened. Her mood abruptly changed. And Clyde can see his expression clearly in his mind like she literally change her mood because she heard him.

“Go home after that. Mom is inviting us to come over. There’s a dinner in the mansion and they need our presence…” Clyde said coldly.

“Oh, where’s your mistress? You should invite her to come over for dinner! That’s great, right!” she chuckled sarcastically.

“Quit playing games with me, Yvonne—“

“I said don’t call me that name!” her voice raised.

Yvette immediately regretted raising her voice after realizing she was still in the store. She cleared her throat and smiled apologetically to the saleslady who just nodded and smiled at her.

Yvette sighed and tried to control her anger.

“Don’t call me that, Mr. Smith…” she said in a demanding tone.

Her voice sent a shiver down his spine. It was like a bedroom voice and he found it very seductive.

“Very well then, wife?” Clyde suggested submissively.

Yvette rolled her eyes annoyingly. It’s cringe and she’s disgusted to hear it, the reason why she doesn’t involve herself in a relationship is that those cheesy things disgust her. She’s not an affectionate person. She’s not even that clingy. Being romantic is not her cup of tea.

“Why don’t you call your mistress instead and stop pestering me?” and she turned the call off.

Psh. The motherfucker thinks he sounded cheesy?

Clyde sighed and gave the phone back to Alice. The old maid smiled apologetically.

“She’s mad again?” she probed.

“I don’t understand her anymore. She changed.”

“People change when they’ve hurt Clyde…” the old woman said.

Clyde shut his mouth. He avoided her gaze.

“Yvonne is the sweetest woman I know. She’s very nice. She’s willing to endure the things that hurt her. But maybe, she had enough of those pain. Maybe it killed her to the core. And in order to put herself back to life, she needs to rebuild that part of her in order to survive.”

Clyde’s uncertainty towards Yvonne vanished. He probably pushed her to change. This is the root of his treatment of her.

“It’s hard to embrace the changes but we must also think of the scars she turned as her strength just to appear strong in front of us. It’s just her weakness trying to build her confidence, Clyde… and I’m happy with the changes. She’s slowly putting efforts to love herself,” the maid smiled.

Clyde’s jaw clenched. A big hole suddenly appeared in front of him and he tripped guiltily.

He’s always the coldhearted nonchalant husband to her. He doesn’t mind what Yvonne might think because he doesn’t want the marriage. He wanted to end it. He wanted his freedom. But the more he rebels, the more he’s punishing her.

“I know you don’t love your wife and you hated your parents for putting you in this position but think about her situation too, Clyde. Don’t be too hard on her…”

Don’t be too hard on her? Yvonne literally needs that scold instead!

Clyde sighed and dismissed the maid to prepare for Yvonne’s comeback. It’s probably loaded with her new things.

When Yvette went home, the back seat of the red jaguar was loaded with paper bags and boxes. The maids started getting all her new purchases while Clyde stood beside the open door with a cold look.

“Did you review my purchase?” she smiled sweetly and stopped in front of him.

Clyde knows Yvonne’s soft voice was dripping with sarcasm but he didn’t mind it. He doesn’t think that his wife is purposely pissing him off.

“Yes. You shopped too much for the first time,” Clyde pointed out.

Of course! Yvonne isn’t materialistic. She doesn’t spend too much! She doesn’t spoil herself because she was raised by a wealthy family. She doesn’t need to crave things since she already has everything. Unlike me.

Even when Yvette is materialistic, she works hard for it. She stays in a pricy unit because she deserves to live comfortably like that, she bought designer bags and clothes because it’s the fruit of her hard work. She’s buying all the expensive things she wants because she worked hard for them. And she deserved spoiling herself.

“Why? Is there a problem with that? Does your other woman shops like a millionaire too? You’re worried you might get broke for life? Because we spent your money too much?” she chuckled.

Clyde sighed after hearing it. She remembered what Alice said. Somehow the words knocked some senses in him. He wanted to understand her at least. That he’s part of the changes. And it was his fault.

So this is the root of why she changed drastically huh…

“I am not saying anything. Feel free to use my card as much as you want,” Clyde said.

Your possessed by a demon wife will surely spend all of your money if you let her, Clyde! He’s scolding himself but he doesn’t want to take his card back. Yvonne might strike another mistress issues again once he does that.

Yvette’s smile slowly vanished while watching him carefully. She didn’t expect a calm reaction from him. She wanted to see him lose his mind because of her.

Oh right! The motherfucker is a fucking billionaire! It’s just a small price for him! It doesn’t even scratch his bank! Oh, I should’ve bought the Mall instead! I might get a satisfying reaction from him if I do that!

“Get dressed. We’ll leave for dinner in the mansion,” Clyde said before turning his back.

Yvette raised her brow. Yvonne’s Yaya smiled and looked at her meaningfully. She stretch her lips for a smile and looked at Clyde’s back again.

Oh, don’t worry. I am just starting. I still have a lot in my sleeves to piss you off.
