(Raymond’s POV)

“Daddy, are you going with Mummy?” Julie asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.

I smiled, crouched down to her level, and gently pinched her cheeks.

“Yes, sweetheart. Mummy and I are going together,” I said with a warm smile.

She smiled back, her tiny hands adjusting my already perfect tie. Julie always spotted an invisible mistake and was always eager to fix it.

“You don’t have to stay awake waiting for us, alright?” I said softly. “Monica will put you to bed when it’s time.”

Tonight was my company’s anniversary party. I was already dressed and ready to go. Patricia would be coming with me. She could choose to attend as my wife or as the President of Smithfield... my business partner. It was up to her. But a part of me hoped she would attend as my wife.

I had been dying to show her off. I wanted everyone to know she was mine. Even my clients had been asking to meet her. They were eager to see the woman who finally won my heart.

Patricia stole my heart the first moment I

    (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

    (Patricia's POV)For a terrifying moment, the whole place went silent, like something terrible had just happened. Then, all at once, everyone jumped from their seats. Raymond rushed to me immediately and held my hand. With his other hand, he lifted my chin to check the burn on my lips.“Are you okay?” he asked, his face filled with concern.I nodded slowly, my heart still racing. Julie ran to my side right away. Her small hands held my arm, her eyes wide with worry.“Oh, my poor girl, let me see,” Mrs. Salvador said as she cupped my cheeks gently and checked the burn too.Tears welled up in my eyes... not because of the pain, but because of how loved I felt in that moment. This was the kind of family I had always dreamed of. A family that cared deeply about me.“Does it hurt a lot?” Mrs. Salvador asked again, her worry growing when she noticed the tears gathering in my eyes.I shook my head quietly, pouting like a child as I tried to hold back the tears. “No, it doesn’t hurt anymore,

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 97: A New Day at the Villa

    (Patricia’s POV)I turned quietly on the bed, stretching my hand toward where Raymond had been lying, but the space was empty. I slowly opened my eyes and saw he was no longer there.I was still naked under the blanket, and I clearly remembered how we had spent the whole night together in this room.“Honey?” I called in a sleepy voice, but there was no reply.I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 8 a.m. I sighed and fell back on the bed, pulling the blanket over myself.If today were a workday, I would already be rushing to get ready. But thankfully, it was Sunday. No work. Just another beautiful day to enjoy here at Raymond’s family villa.We had arrived yesterday, and the whole day had been fun. It felt like a real family vacation. I enjoyed every moment. This place really felt like home.A soft knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. Could it be Raymond? He always knocked before entering my room. What was he worried about? That he might walk in on me naked, when he had

    (Raymond’s POV)"Raymond?" Patricia called softly as she followed me out of the building.I didn’t stop. I wasn’t in a good mood, not after what Lucy did. I couldn’t believe she had the guts to pull a stunt like that… creating drama just to ruin the night. How dare she?I had wanted to shut her down and put her in her place, but Patricia stopped me. Yes, Lucy embarrassed herself, but I hated that Patricia held me back. She made me stand there and watch that shameless woman disrespect her."Honey!" Patricia called again, walking faster.I swallowed hard. Honey? She reached me and held my hand, stopping me from going any further.“What’s wrong?” she asked softly, her voice full of concern.Her gentle hands cupped my face, forcing me to look into her beautiful eyes. My heart melted instantly under her touch.“Ray?” she whispered again.I sighed, unable to hold it in anymore. “Why? Why did you stop me from stepping in?” I asked quietly.Was that really part of her plan? She knew things wo

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 95: Raymond's Wife

    (Patricia’s POV) The moment Raymond announced me as his wife, my eyes immediately went to Lucy. She looked shocked, like she was living a terrible nightmare. Her eyes showed bitter pain… but that pain was nothing compared to what I had endured from her and her family over the years. The glass in her hand slipped and shattered loudly on the floor, and everyone turned to look at her in surprise. A tiny, satisfied smile curved my lips as I watched how shaken she was. This was exactly the face I had imagined she would make when she found out about Raymond and me. "Ma'am, are you okay?" the Event Manager asked politely. She ignored him, her eyes locked on Raymond, as tears streamed down her face. She couldn’t handle the betrayal. But did Raymond really betray her? I didn’t think so. She was hurt by her own stupidity. As far as I knew, Raymond had never loved her... yet she had stayed, obsessing over him for years. I knew the only way to shake her emotionally was to marry Raymond,
