Dominic POV

I had told her it was just one cup of coffee, but I knew that wasn’t the whole truth. The real reason I brought her here was because I wanted more time with her.

“Over here,” I said in a low voice, pointing to a quiet corner booth.

My eyes followed her graceful movements as she pulled out the chair to sit. I would have done it for her, but I didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable.

The waiter came quickly.

“Black coffee, and...” I paused, turning to her.

“A cup of cappuccino and a slice of cheesecake,” she said. The waiter nodded and left.

I couldn’t help watching her as she took off her suit coat and hung it on the back of her chair. Something about her was different today. She didn’t have that wall of distance she usually carried around me. She looked… softer, more relaxed.

“It seems you had something doing before the school called ?” I asked gently, smiling at her as she turned back to me.

She didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she just looked at me with those calm eyes,

  • The Game of a Married Woman    Chapter 98: I Exposed Myself

    Anastasia’s POV"The reporters have arrived at the hospital. Make sure you answer the questions according to the plan."I read the message on my phone, my fingers trembling slightly.It was from that classy woman from yesterday. I still didn’t know her name. I didn’t know why she hated Marceline either—but I didn’t care. As long as Marceline suffered, I was willing to do anything.I quickly hid my phone under the blanket and adjusted myself on the bed.I made sure my face looked pale, weak, and fragile.The blanket was pulled high over my stomach, and my hand rested gently on top of it.They should be here any moment…Right on time, the door opened.Three reporters walked in—two men and one woman—cameras pointed, microphones ready. My heart raced. This was a live interview. The whole city would see me.“Good day,” one of the men said. “You’re Miss Wilson, the woman pushed down the stairs by Mrs. Stanmore?”I widened my eyes, pretending to be scared.“Who… who are you people?” I whispe

  • The Game of a Married Woman    Chapter 97: Love Cannot Be Shared

    Clara’s POV**“Watch where you’re going, woman,” a man I had accidentally bumped into snapped loudly, hissing as if he was just as frustrated as I was.I had just left Dominic’s house after being forcefully kicked out. My car was parked down the road, so I decided to walk around to cool my anger and bitterness. All my effort to discredit Marceline had been useless. Dominic didn’t care. It was like she had bewitched him.“You should throw away that hat so you can see well,” the man snapped again.I didn’t apologize. I simply walked past him. My mood was terrible.“Can’t even say sorry, bitch,” he muttered scornfully.I turned to him immediately.“Bitch? Say that to Marceline,” I spat with pure bitterness.How dare he call me a bitch when that name belonged to Marceline? Nobody was more shameless than her. She was married, yet she was chasing the man I had loved for years.The man looked at me like I had lost my mind and walked away without saying anything else.I hissed loudly and swal

  • The Game of a Married Woman    Chapter 96: I'm Far Better Than Her

    Dominic’s POV**“Don’t go out alone till the issue is resolved,” I said to Marceline as we stopped in front of my car.She was seeing me off. We had just finished having dinner with her family, and honestly, it was the most awkward and uncomfortable meal I had ever sat through. I never wanted to stay, but Marceline had insisted I should join them.Her parents didn’t say anything directly to me, but from their expressions—though they tried to mask it—I knew they weren’t happy about my relationship with their daughter. That was another reason I stayed till the end. They needed to get used to it, because I wasn’t leaving their daughter.“You have said it so many times already, Dom,” she said, chuckling lightly.“You can’t blame me. I don’t want you to get hurt,” I replied softly, getting lost in her eyes.I had told her not to go out for now, but she disagreed, saying she did nothing wrong, so why should she lock herself inside? I didn’t want to force her, but the worry in my chest refus

  • The Game of a Married Woman    Chapter 95: The Strange Woman

    Anastasia’s POV**"How…"My voice barely left my lips as I stared at the headline of the news article. I had read it over and over again, watched the video repeatedly, yet my mind still couldn’t understand what was happening.How did the video get online?And worse—why that heading?Not many people knew that Philip and I had anything going on. And the few who knew would never dare to expose it online. But now everyone knew I was Philip’s mistress."Argh!" I hissed through clenched teeth and threw the phone across the room.My heart was racing painfully fast. I wasn’t happy at all. My secret affair was now out in the open, and my plans were ruined. With the baby gone, I had planned to keep blackmailing Philip, threatening to expose the affair just to extort money from him. I already knew he would never divorce Marceline anymore—he didn’t even care about me—but at least I still had something to use against him.Now everything was out.Everything.What was I supposed to use now?I leaned

  • The Game of a Married Woman    Chapter 94: Like A Coward

    Philip’s POVThe alcohol burned down my throat, but it still did nothing. Nothing was strong enough to calm the storm inside me.I had already taken so many shots that the bartender kept glancing at me like he was worried I would pass out.My chest ached with anger, pain, and bitterness I couldn’t swallow.I gripped the glass tighter as everything that happened today flashed through my mind again.(A few hours earlier...)I arrived home hoping Marceline had finally returned. We needed to talk about her affair with Dominic, and I needed her to tell me why she did it. Why she allowed him to touch her.But she wasn’t home. There wasn’t even a sign she had been around.My brows knitted in frustration.“Is she avoiding me?” I muttered to myself, because that was the only thing that made sense. She didn’t want us to talk.Then another thought hit me—Is she with Dominic?My heart tightened immediately, burning with jealousy.I pulled out my phone at once and called someone, telling him to

  • The Game of a Married Woman    Chapter 93: Dominic Is My Lover Two

    Marceline’s POV “He is my lover,” I repeated calmly, even though my heart was beating wildly. I knew my parents. They would never support something like this. They always taught me morals and values. And now I had gone against everything they believed in — but there was nothing I could do. What was done was done. “You can’t be serious, right?” Dad asked sharply. His voice was loud enough to make me swallow hard. “Dad… I—” I tried to speak, but the words refused to come out. My head lowered on its own. “What do you mean he is your lover, Marceline?” Mom asked, still in shock, like I had committed the worst sin. I stayed silent because I already knew they would not like anything I said. “How could you be having an extra-marital affair? Oh my God…” Mom said, placing her hand on her chest. “Philip pushed me into it,” I said softly, rubbing my forehead. I would always blame Philip for what I had become. Before all of this, I never imagined I could step out of my marriage. “Don’t
