The Price of Forgiveness Chapter 13
Laura and Lincoln both looked shocked. Fear settled back into Coral’s wide eyes. And Jacob stilled beside me.It was almost a powerful feeling knowing how much my next words could damage their sense of control. But I knew that the outcome was very unlikely to be in my favour so I simply turned to Jacob.“She was the girl I met yesterday at the spa. Her husband paid me $100,000 for my spot.” I looked back at Coral and tilted my head, fighting my smile and tone to be as mocking and humiliating as possible. “Why didn’t you come with your husband? Surely you wouldn’t trade someone as powerful and considerate as you described him to be for—no offense Brody—him. I know you’re new to the administration side of business, but that really seems like a bad trade.”Lincoln choked out a laugh but Laura seemed almost mortified. She wasn’t offended though, and readily watched the show with her husband.Coral glanced nervously at Jacob. If Jacob dared to support her now, he would quickly learn how mu

I walked into the Asher Industries Executive Gala wearing the red and black dress from Madam Holiway. Although I got many compliments quickly, they felt shallow.I’d looked forward to the reactions to the dress Jacob had made for me. The excitement had been taken and the enthusiasm died.“Mrs. Aster!” someone called.I knew the voice as soon as I heard it. Lincoln Faulter—CFO of Aster industries. He’d worked with Jacob’s father before Jacob took over. He’d attended our wedding. And he would most definitely be one of the “coworkers” who knew about Coral.Yet here he was, his wife, Laura, on his arm. A drink in both their hands, and wide, friendly smiles on their faces as they approached me.I met their glances with my own and forced a smile on my face.“What a beautiful dress you’re wearing, Cassie.” Laura gushed.“Is this the one Jacob designed himself? It’s truly ravishing on you—though most things are.” Lincoln chuckled to himself. Of course he’d know about the dress. He’d know almo

FlashBack Continued:It took two days, but my parents told me at dinner that someone had bought our house. And that by next month, our rent would be cut in half."That's amazing!" I gasped. "Why are they cutting it?"My dad answered, "Apparently, they want to preserve the neighbourhood. A large developer is interested in buying up the land and someone doesn't want to let them. So they're keeping people here for cheaper so no one will sell.""Does that mean I can quit my job?" I didn't want to seem as excited as I did. I wanted to be able to spend time with Jake, though. Jake and maybe make more friends at school if I could spare the time."No, this means you can start saving your money for university." Mom said. "If we can manage to pay everything ourselves, and you maintain your scholarship, then all the money you've been making can go to paying for you to go to school.""If you work harder now, you won't have to work harder later." Dad agreed.They were right, I knew that. Besides..

I didn’t enjoy lunch. I couldn't relax or pretend to care about their seemingly petty difficulties.Arora didn't like the colour they'd painted their pantry. Her mother-in-law took this as a personal insult because she'd chosen the colour. So now Arora had a pantry in a colour she didn't like.Katie got a new puppy. It wasn't potty trained yet and she didn't like seeing it pee in the house.Rose's husband wouldn't let her spend $80,000 on a necklace at auction.It must have been my upbringing. But all I could think was who cares what colour your pantry is, at least you have a house.It's a puppy. Train it. Or adopt a dog that is already toilet-trained.It's a necklace. You can buy a replica for $13.99 and wear it just as often.But I suppose my issues should be just as easy to solve.He's cheating on you. He doesn't love you. Leave him. I let my friends take the yacht without me. I told them I felt a little nauseous and wanted to walk along the pier.My marriage was over. It needed t
The Price of Forgiveness Chapter 9
Cassie POVWhen I arrived at the parlour, it was much nicer than I had pictured when Jacob had said “tailor”. Other than the mandatory amount to maintain friendships, I had never fully immersed myself in Jacob’s standard of living.I needed to keep one foot out. Or I felt I’d be trapped there forever.The wide floor-length windows and white and gold accents of Madam Holiway’s studio threw me off a bit. But when I approached the front desk and said, “Hi… I know my appointment was at another time, but I’m here under Jacob Aster. Is there any way I can still come in now?”“Oh. First initial, C?” One of the receptionists asked.“Yes, Cassie.” I smile.“Uh… we are a little late, however…” The women looked at each other with uncertainty. I'm not sure they actually looked at me or listened to my name.One said, "Madam Holiway is very specific about tardiness."The other quickly added, "she likes to have people here on the hour.""I understand but..." Cassie looked around quickly. There was n

CASSIE POVI’d felt like a zombie since waking up.Every movement was sluggish and tired. Every thought was quiet and shallow.I didn’t want to make him breakfast. I wanted to let him starve. If I did make breakfast, I wanted to sprinkle some toilet cleaner in it. I think that watching him projectile vomit across his car and office would make me really happy. But my emotions were too numb to believe that might be true.But last night he said chicken and waffles, so that’s what I made. It felt aggressive, at least to me. Because if he cared about me at all, then this should make him feel bad, right? He'd spent his night betraying me, and I still... was I hopeless?But when he walked in the front door, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, he simply laughed, “you actually made me chicken and waffles?” Before tossing his coat over his chair and going upstairs to shower.He was back down in ten minutes in fresh clothes and ready for the day. He sat to eat as I served him coffee.H
