Chapter Six

Elena was having breakfast alone on Wednesday morning when Mrs. Kaelthorn walked into the house without knocking. She was wearing a white suit and diamonds, looking like she owned the world.

"Elena," Mrs. Kaelthorn said coldly. "Go get dressed. We have a charity event to attend."

Elena looked up from her coffee. "A charity event?"

"The Annual Children's Hospital Gala," Mrs. Kaelthorn said. "Tonight at the Grand Ballroom. You will attend as Jack's wife."

"I don't know if Jack wants me there," Elena said quietly.

Mrs. Kaelthorn smiled cruelly. "Jack doesn't know you're coming. But the Kaelthorn family must present a united front. People expect to see Jack's wife."

Elena felt trapped. "What should I wear?"

"Something simple," Mrs. Kaelthorn said dismissively. "You don't want to embarrass yourself by trying too hard."

That afternoon, Elena went through her closet looking for something appropriate. She chose a navy blue dress that was elegant but not flashy. She did her makeup

  • The Barren Ex-Wife's Revenge   Regret Me

    "Then why didn't you divorce me earlier?" Elena asked. "Why did you wait three years to torture me?"Jack paused. For a moment, he looked uncomfortable."Because I kept hoping you would change," he said finally. "I kept thinking maybe you could become the kind of woman I needed in my life. But you never did.""I tried to change!" Elena screamed. "I took etiquette classes. I learned about wine and art. I tried to fit in with your friends. But nothing was ever good enough for you!""Because you were pretending," Jack said coldly. "Victoria doesn't have to pretend. She naturally belongs in high society. She was born for this life."Elena wiped her tears angrily. "And what was I born for? To be your charity case? To be grateful for scraps of attention while you gave your real love to someone else?""You were born to marry someone from your own class," Jack said bluntly.Elena felt rage building inside her. "You're so cruel. So heartless. I loved you with everything I had, and you treated

  • The Barren Ex-Wife's Revenge   The Wrong Wife

    Elena waited in the living room until Jack came home. It was almost midnight when she heard his car in the driveway. She had been sitting on the couch for hours, still wearing the servant's uniform from dinner.Jack walked in looking tired. His tie was loose and his hair was messy. When he saw Elena waiting for him, he frowned."Why are you still awake?" Jack asked coldly.Elena stood up slowly. "We need to talk.""I'm tired, Elena. Whatever it is can wait until tomorrow.""No," Elena said firmly. "It can't wait. We're talking now."Jack looked surprised. Elena never spoke to him with such a strong voice."Fine," Jack said, sitting down in his chair. "What do you want to talk about?"Elena took a deep breath. "Why do you hate me so much?"Jack's face went cold. "I don't hate you.""Yes, you do," Elena said, tears starting to fall. "You humiliate me every chance you get. Tonight your family made me serve dinner like a maid while Victoria sat at the table like a queen.""You didn't have

    Elena wanted to run away, but she had to keep serving dinner."Victoria, on the other hand," Mrs. Kaelthorn said, "comes from a very fertile family. Her mother had five children.""Five!" Aunt Cordelia gasped. "How wonderful! Victoria, you'll probably have no trouble at all.""I hope not," Victoria said sweetly. "I dream of having lots of children someday."Elena was serving the main course when Victoria suddenly grabbed her wrist."Elena, you're shaking," Victoria said with fake concern. "Are you feeling alright? You look very pale."Everyone at the table turned to stare at Elena. Her hands were indeed shaking from stress and humiliation."I'm fine," Elena whispered."Maybe you should sit down for a moment," Victoria continued. "Oh wait, there's no extra chair. Well, you can sit on the floor if you need to rest."The suggestion was so cruel and humiliating that Elena couldn't speak."Elena doesn't need to sit," Mrs. Kaelthorn said coldly. "She's here to serve, not to rest."Elena fin

    Family Dinner:Elena was still crying about the charity event when her phone rang Friday morning. Mrs. Kaelthorn's name appeared on the screen."Elena," Mrs. Kaelthorn's voice was ice cold. "Family dinner tonight at seven. Don't be late.""Family dinner?" Elena asked."Jack's aunts and uncles are visiting from Celestria. They want to meet Victoria properly."Elena's heart sank. "Victoria will be there?""Of course Victoria will be there. She's practically family now." Mrs. Kaelthorn paused. "You will serve dinner and stay quiet. Don't embarrass us."The phone went dead.Elena spent the day dreading the evening. She knew this dinner would be torture. Jack's family had never liked her, and now they would compare her to Victoria in person.At six thirty, Elena arrived at the Kaelthorn family mansion. The house was huge and cold, just like Mrs. Kaelthorn herself. Elena had only been there a few times in three years of marriage.The butler let Elena in through the back entrance. "Mrs. Kael

    Chapter FiveElena spent the weekend alone in the house. Jack didn't come home Friday night or Saturday night. His text messages were short and cold. "Working late." "Don't wait up." "Busy with business meetings."Elena knew he was with Victoria. The image of Jack in that hotel towel kept flashing in her mind.By Monday morning, Elena couldn't stay in the house anymore. She decided to go shopping in the Goldenvale District, where all the expensive stores were. Maybe buying something pretty would make her feel better.Elena parked Jack's car outside Luxoria, the most expensive boutique in Vaelthorne City. She had only been there once before, for their wedding dress shopping. Jack's mother had insisted Elena needed "proper clothes" for being a Kaelthorn wife.Elena walked into the store and immediately felt out of place. The saleswomen looked at her with fake smiles. They remembered her as the orphan girl who married Jack Kaelthorn."Mrs. Kaelthorn," the store manager approached. "How l
