(Patricia's POV)

My steps were sharp and steady on these heels. My shoulders straight, my chin lifted high, and my eyes burned like fire, ready to burn anyone who dared look into them.

I didn’t need anyone to tell me I wasn’t the same person. No... that old Patricia had died. It took a full month of hard work and dedication to become this Patricia. Because to rule this empire, I had to be this Patricia.

It was my first day in the office and my first boardroom meeting as president of Smithfield Global Group. The shareholders had called the meeting, acting like they owned every decision, but I was about to crush their ego.

The security at the boardroom opened the door before I even got close. I stepped in with James walking firmly behind me, carrying my documents and folders.

All heads turned. Conversations died instantly in their throats, eyes fixed on me without blinking. And for the first time, I felt it... Power!

Not the kind of respect the maids and bodyguards had shown

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 121: Our Quiet World

    (Patricia’s POV)“Ohh, Raymond,” I groaned softly, lost in the pleasure.“You like it, huh?” he murmured, his voice low and husky.I swallowed hard and nodded, my hands tightening around his neck. I enjoyed every moment. I loved the way he made love to me.“Fas-ter… please,” I whispered.I loved Raymond. He was very attentive and always listened to me. He pulled me closer and increased his pace, moving faster but still gentle. I couldn’t hold back anymore and found myself moaning uncontrollably.After a short while, my breathing became uneven and my eyes rolled back. I was close... so close. Lost in my own world, I could hear Raymond moaning too. His soft sounds felt like music in my ears. He moved faster, and I knew he was close as well.He thrust a few more times, and that was when I reached my peak. He released a deep breath, and I felt the warmth as he finally relaxed too.He lay beside me and pulled me into his arms. We were both breathing hard, trying to catch our breath.This w

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 120: No Bail Money

    (Mason’s POV)“So?” I asked, my voice filled with hope, my eyes searching their faces, desperate for good news. “How did it go?”No one answered. My mum lowered her head, suddenly avoiding my eyes. Lucy looked close to tears. And my dad? His face fell. Then, slowly and weakly, he shook his head.Their reactions told me everything I needed to know.My strength drained instantly, and I slumped back into my seat, my chest tightening painfully.Did this mean I was going to spend more days here? In jail?I stared at the chains around my wrists, my heart twisting in agony. If they couldn’t afford the bail, did that mean I would stay here until the case was decided? Even if it took one year… or two?That thought alone shattered me.I couldn’t believe how fast everything had fallen apart. It felt like my life was collapsing right in front of me, like I was trapped in a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.How did everything happen so quickly?My heart was still bleeding from the truth about Lia

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 119: Timing the Final Move

    (Patricia’s POV)“You can’t do this, ma’am. The shareholders won’t be happy about it,” James said, his voice filled with concern.I had just told him about my decision to withdraw from the Medix project, exactly as I had promised Henry the night before. But James strongly opposed it.The Wilton Group and Smithfield Global had been business rivals for years. We competed over everything. Backing out now felt like handing victory to the enemy, and no one liked losing.James wasn’t worried because the company would collapse if we withdrew. He was worried about pride.Winning the project meant more profit, and more profit meant growth. But this was the first and only thing Henry had ever asked of me. I felt he deserved that one win. There would still be other projects for us.“There are other projects coming, James. We can still secure those,” I said calmly, trying to reason with him.“But...”“Please, James, try to understand,” I said, cutting him off. “Henry is like a big brother to me.

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 118: An Unexpected Request

    (Patricia’s POV)“Come on, let’s sit over there,” Henry said softly.He pushed his grandmother’s wheelchair as we moved toward the round table. The moment I realised it was his family’s table, I turned to look at him. Was it really okay for me to sit at the same table with his family?“Don’t worry, Pat. You can sit here with us,” he said gently, as if he already knew the question running through my mind.I smiled and sat down.Just then, Henry’s phone started ringing on the table. The name Alonso flashed across the screen. My heart skipped. It might not be the Alonso I knew, but every time I saw that name, it stirred something uncomfortable inside me.James had said he was in town. And he was most likely the one who dropped those pictures at the cemetery that day. After I told James I saw someone who looked like Alonso, he went to the airport to check the CCTV footage from that day and time. He later confirmed it was truly him.But, I couldn’t understand why Alonso was playing hide-an

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 117: A Resemblance

    (Patricia’s POV)Days had passed, but I didn’t feel any better. I still hadn’t recovered from the pain of the betrayal. Thinking back to how I had gone from one hospital to another, meeting different doctors, wondering why every test result said I was fine, yet I couldn’t conceive.All this time, I didn’t know I had married a monster... someone who put me through years of stress just to protect his ego. What about my dignity? I bore the shame of being called barren by his family and by others, countless times.The betrayal cut deep, but I still tried to move on, just as I had always done. I was grateful for Raymond, who stayed by my side through this difficult period.As expected, Mason was charged with murder, and this could be the end of him if he was found guilty. The reporters, however, wouldn’t leave me alone. They kept asking for my thoughts on the case.I wasn’t even there on the day the incident happened, yet my name was trending alongside his family’s. Because everyone knew I

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 116: Mason Is Arrested

    (Patricia’s POV)“Do you like it?” I asked, curious, my heart pounding with nervous excitement.“I love it,” Raymond said, his eyes shining as he looked at the wristwatch I had just given him. “This is exactly my style.”I smiled warmly, relieved that he loved it. Raymond was finally home. He had arrived two hours ago, and I couldn’t be happier. It wasn’t just me... Julie was overjoyed as well.We had dinner together, just like a happy family, and afterward we went upstairs. Now we were in his bedroom, technically our bedroom now, since I couldn’t even remember the last time I slept in mine.“Thank you for this special gift,” Raymond said softly.“You’re welcome,” I whispered.He carefully placed the watch back into its box and set it on the vanity. Then he stepped closer and wrapped his arms around my waist.“I’m so happy to be home. I missed you so much,” he said quietly.I chuckled and rested my arms on his shoulders. “I missed you too, honey.”Missing him was an understatement. Th
