LOGINThey broke her. Now she owns their world and the heart of the man they never imagined her to be with—Raymond, a cold billionaire, who was once their old friend. A man who would burn the world for her. For six years of her marriage, Patricia Addison endured and swallowed every humiliation and insult from the Mason family... all for the love she had for him and the promise they once shared. For two of those years, she watched the same man who had promised her love parade his mistress—who was once their maid—around their home, while she died piece by piece, and he did nothing to save her. Worse, he claimed the mistress as his wife right before her eyes. When Patricia finally decided to leave in peace, they still wouldn’t let her go. They stole her peace, her child, one she never knew she had. And for that, the Bedford family will never know peace again. She will take everything that has to do with their happiness.
View MoreTo my wonderful readers, Thank you so much for staying with me until the very end of this story. Your time, support, and patience mean more to me than words can fully express. This is my first book, and while it may have small errors or imperfections, it was written with deep passion and commitment. I learned a lot through this journey, and every chapter helped me grow as a writer. Your encouragement has shown me that this dream is worth pursuing. I promise to come back stronger, wiser, and better in my future projects. This is only the beginning. Thank you for believing in my story. With gratitude, Author.
(Patricia's POV)The warm smell of potato soup drifted from the kitchen, filling the air. It had become my favorite dish lately."Hmmm... so delicious," I said, inhaling deeply as I stepped into the kitchen.Raymond stood by the stove, wearing an apron, a spoon in his hand, stirring the pot like cooking was his full-time job.A sweet smile spread across my lips as I folded my arms and leaned against the wall, just watching him.It wasn’t the first time he had cooked for me. In fact, ever since he learned I was craving potato soup, he always made time to cook it. But every time I saw him in that apron, my craving grew even stronger. I couldn’t tell if I wanted the food… or him. He looked unbelievably hot."I didn’t know you were back already," I finally said, my voice soft, with a smile.Raymond turned immediately, surprised to see me. He hadn’t realized I’d been standing there for a while.His face lit up with a wide smile as he lowered the spoon.“You were asleep when I got home,” he
(Patricia's POV)Sabrina stood by the door, her eyes filled with something I couldn’t understand. She played with her fingers nervously, like someone unsure of what to say. Did she really follow me in here?She had called me by my middle name. Not Mrs. Addison. Not even Mrs. Salvador. Why had she addressed me so casually? We were not close. Or… could it be..?No... There was no way she was here because she already knew I was her daughter. Maybe this was about the recent challenge her family company was facing. Since Henry could no longer approach me, maybe she had come herself.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart, and turned back to face the mirror.“Hello, Mrs. Wilton,” I greeted, my tone calm and distant.“H-how… are you doing?” she asked, her voice trembling.My eyes narrowed slightly in surprise. Why was she being so informal today? I watched her through the mirror and noticed how nervous she looked.“I… I heard about Alonso,” she began, her voice unsteady, “and a
(Patricia’s POV)A month passed by in the blink of an eye, yet everything felt different. Life had not been the same since I discovered who my real parents were. I stayed away from the Smithfield Empire, not wanting anything to do with Mr. Smith, my supposed late father. I hadn’t gone to see Mrs. Sabrina Wilton either. There was no reason to. She had abandoned me back then, so why should I go looking for her now? Besides, she might not even know who I truly was... and even if she did, she might still not want me.Raymond had been my backbone through it all. His gunshot wound was healing well, and he had recovered greatly. He could walk properly now and had even returned to work, though he was careful not to stress his injury. He was the best man I could ever ask for. He understood my pain and was always there to support me. He told me he would stand by whatever decision I made... whether I chose to return to Smithfield or to speak with Sabrina.He also made sure Alonso received t
(Patricia’s POV)My eyes felt heavy as I slowly opened them. For a moment, I was confused about where I was, until I realized I was in the private lounge in my office.“Madam?” James called as he hurried toward me.I sighed and tried to sit up, but a sharp headache hit me. I winced and clutched my
(Mason’s POV)My phone kept ringing, and I had no choice but to switch it off. Nothing made sense anymore. My life had been a complete mess ever since Patricia left me.It had been one problem after another. We lost the company and all our family investments. I even lost Patricia’s trust. Was this
(Mason’s POV) “Pat…” I murmured as I watched her car drive away. The tear I had tried so hard to hold back finally slipped down my cheek. I wiped it away quickly, but it did nothing to ease the pain inside me. My eyes were red. My chest felt so tight that I could barely breathe, and my heart ach
(Patricia’s POV) Three days had passed, and I was still here pretending I didn’t feel empty with Raymond away. And I knew I wasn’t the only one... Julie missed him too. I was fully dressed for work, and Julie was ready for school. It was just the two of us now… well, until our big daddy returned
