(Patricia’s POV)

“What the hell?” I muttered.

So this was their little game? I knew something was off that day... the way they had begged and played innocent about the company. All along, they had secretly recorded everything and planned to use it against me.

“That person in the video…” Mrs. Salvador mumbled beside me, disbelief heavy in her voice. “Is that really you?”

She turned slowly to me, her eyes filled with curiosity. My heart pounded hard in my chest... not out of fear of what the world would say, but because of her. I cared about what she would think of me.

She had been the kindest, most loving mother-in-law I could ever ask for, and the thought of her being disappointed in me made my stomach twist. Now that she had seen the video, would she believe I was some arrogant woman with no respect for elders? Or a greedy businesswoman who stole other people’s companies?

“Are you really the president of Smithfield Global?” she asked quietly.

I gripped the edge of my dre

    (Patricia’s POV)“You mean to say you found these on the grave?” James asked, his eyes widening.We were at the office now, and I had just told him about the pictures. He picked them up from the table and stared at them in disbelief.“And that man I saw… maybe it was him,” I said softly.James looked at me, even more surprised. He hadn’t seen the man. If he had, he would have followed him.“But I don’t understand why he was hiding. Why didn’t he want to meet me?” I murmured, confused.“Maybe it wasn’t Alonso you saw,” James said, trying to ease my thoughts.He was only trying to stop me from overthinking. But if it wasn’t him, then who else could it be? Besides, I had seen someone like him days ago at the airport. Was that also a coincidence?I sighed and rubbed my temple. “Maybe,” I murmured in agreement, then picked up the file in front of me. “Anyway, who sent this document?”James cleared his throat. “It’s from Mr. Kane, ma’am.”A small smile curved my lips as I leaned back in my

    (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. Julie held my hand as we walked out of the house. But the moment she saw Timothy, her face dropped, understanding what it meant. She looked up at me with sad eyes, her lips forming a small, cute pout. I sighed and crouched down to her level. “I’m sorry, princess. I really can’t take you to school this morning,” I said softly. “Timothy will be taking you.” “But I promise I’ll pick you up after school,” I added quickly. I didn’t want her to be sad even for a second. “And then we can eat ice cream together.” Her face lit up immediately when she heard that I would come to pick her up. I smiled and gently tapped her nose. “So, how does that sound?” I asked teasingly, raising my eyebrows.

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 102: Raymond’s Business Trip

    (Patricia’s POV) I opened my eyes and realized I was still in Raymond’s arms. My head rested softly on his chest, and his hand gently stroked my back. He was already awake. “Good morning, sunshine,” he said, placing a warm kiss on my forehead. I smiled softly and snuggled deeper into his arms. I always loved being there. His arms made me feel loved and safe. “Good morning, honey,” I replied with a sweet smile. It had been a few days since we returned from the villa, yet neither of us had gone to work. We had stayed home together, loving each other and taking care of one another. I wished we could spend more days like this... maybe even the whole week... but Raymond had an important business meeting abroad. He would be leaving today. “Did you sleep well?” he asked quietly. I nodded and finally lifted my head to look at him. He was smiling, his eyes filled with happiness. That smile always warmed my heart. I had never seen him smile like that at anyone else, and I was starting t

    (Patricia’s POV)Mason pulled his arm away so fast that I lost my balance and fell to the ground, hitting my knee on the tiled floor.“Ouch,” I winced in pain.Raymond’s head snapped toward me immediately. The moment he saw me on the floor, his eyes burned with anger and his jaw tightened. His fist clenched hard... and before I knew it, his hand shot forward and slammed straight into Mason’s face.“How dare you hurt her?!” he yelled, rage pouring out of him as his fist connected with Mason’s lips.It felt like Raymond had been holding himself back before… but seeing me get hurt snapped something inside him.Mason staggered backwards, but Raymond was already furious. I recognized that look...it was the same dangerous anger I saw the day I had a cut on my lip, the day Elizabeth slapped me.Raymond rushed at Mason again and delivered another heavy punch to his face. And just like that, the fight escalated. This wasn’t an argument anymore… it became a full-blown physical fight.Panic sho

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 100: Patricia Has Moved On

    (Mason's POV)I sighed, rubbing my temples. Really? So these were the lies she could come up with."They’ve been married for a while now, and they made it official two days ago," she continued."How shameless can you be to slander Patricia like that?" I said, disappointed. "Patricia would never do that to me, and Raymond? He would never betray me by marrying my wife!""You don’t believe me?" Rose asked. "You can check for yourself. It’s all over the internet anyway!"Before I could respond, she held up her phone, making sure I saw the trending news. I sighed at her persistence and reluctantly looked at the screen.>>>"For Real: Mr. Raymond Salvador confirmed at his company’s event that he is married to Mrs. Patricia Addison, president of Smithfield!" one headline read."Shocking revelation: Mr. Salvador and Mrs. Addison announce their marriage," said another.

    (Mason’s POV)It had been almost a week since that day at the office... since the day I failed Patricia’s test. I hadn’t been myself ever since. Every day felt like punishment. I still hadn’t gotten over the fact that my family no longer had any shares in the company, and worse… I couldn’t get over the fact that I disappointed Patricia all over again.She must be so disappointed in me. And now, earning her forgiveness wouldn’t be easy. She would never believe in me again.“But giving up isn’t an option… Patricia loves me too much to walk away from us just like that,” I muttered to myself as I wandered through the garden.Every flower held a memory of Patricia and me. They only pushed me harder to get her back.I was just about to head back inside when I heard a familiar voice. I moved closer and saw Rose talking on the phone.“You don’t have to come here,” she said, her voice tense. “I already told you things aren’t going well here, and that’s why I haven’t brought Liam to see you ye
