The Spring She Grew Into Chapter 25
Adrian wept until he was nothing but a puddle of tears.His heart brimmed with rage.He despised his father, a serial cheater with zero shame.He loathed Yvette, shamelessly vile with no morals whatsoever.Most of all, he despised himself–arrogant and a betrayer of kindness!Yet, it should have been them to face death, not his mother!This poor woman, who had built a life from nothing with her husband, worked the market from before sunrise until the moon hung high, only to come home to endless chores.Once her husband struck it rich, he lost himself in a world of glitz and vice, cycling through women. She, however, for her son's sake, would scrape by on scraps and seasoning packets, enduring against all odds.She never knew a single day of comfort in her life.Marvin was the one at fault; he should be the one to pay!Why could they not come after him instead of taking it out on his poor mother?…Deep into the night, Adrian snuck back home.In the bedroom, Marvin and Yvett
The Spring She Grew Into Chapter 24
Adrian had moved back into the house he once shared with Janice.Night after night, he sat in the empty room surrounded by memories, sipping on can after can of bitter beer, tears streaming down his face. Through his blurry, tear-filled eyes, he thought he saw the kitchen light flick on and Janice, wearing her favorite floral apron, chided him, "Enough with the booze. Dinner's ready!"A smile broke through Adrian's sadness, and he stumbled toward the kitchen.However, then his phone rang.Startled back to reality, Adrian found himself alone in the silent house, no sign of Janice anywhere. He glanced at the phone to see a text from an unknown number: [Adrian, you better be ready for me!]A few days later, Adrian came home to a shocking sight.Yvette!She had escaped from the depths of the mountain ravine, her wrists speckled with the scars of cigarette burns, and a new scar as long as a finger across her left forehead, then hidden beneath a trail of jasmine tattoos.Clearly, s

"What are you doing here?"Janice's gaze was steady, her expression unreadable, as if Adrian was nothing more than a stranger to her.Trying to muster a smile, Adrian looked as forlorn as a lost puppy in the rain. "Janice, I left Yvette. She tricked me! She's a cheater, a temptress who plotted to lure me in, and I just got caught up in the moment."Janice had caught wind of that night's drama, and given Adrian's prideful ways, she was not shocked that he would end up divorcing. It did not surprise her in the least.She nodded, her voice even as she said, "I know, you can leave now."Adrian froze, his voice caught in his throat as he pleaded, "Janice, don't make me go. I just want to talk."I realize I messed up, big time. Can you ever forgive me? Please, I'm begging you–I just can't be without you!"Janice's lips twisted into a sardonic grin as she repeated the words without a hint of feeling, "Playing the devoted Janice got old after four years. If she hadn't been so clingy, ev

Adrian wasted no time. He had his lawyer draw up the divorce papers and shoved them at Yvette to sign.Yvette would not sign. Tears streaming down her face, she insisted she had only been fooled because she was young and naive, but she had been faithful since the day she met him.She pleaded with him, saying she truly loved him, could not bear to be without him, and begged for just one more chance.Adrian felt sick to his stomach listening to her. "You think you deserve to talk about love?" he sneered. "Just sign the thing! Or I'll make sure everyone in your parents' neighborhood gets an eyeful of your little escapades!"Realizing Adrian was serious about the divorce, Yvette signed the papers through gritted teeth. However, when she saw the clause that left her with nothing, she snapped."No way! We're legally married, and I haven't wronged you since! You think you can just throw me out with nothing? Dream on, Adrian!"If we're splitting up, I want half of everything, half of Smi

Before Yvette could figure out what to say to Adrian…A crowd had gathered, and among them was a guy with a few extra pounds, rubbing his chin like he was trying to solve a puzzle. His eyes were glued to a birthmark on her waist, and then it clicked. He blurted out with a mix of shock and recognition."Ah, it's you, Little Jasmine! I knew you looked familiar!"I didn't spot you with your clothes on before, but now that your outfit's soaked, that birthmark's a dead giveaway."The moment Yvette heard 'Little Jasmine,' her face twisted, and she quickly tried to hide the mark on her waist."You're spouting nonsense! I don't know you!"The man did not miss a beat and whipped out his phone, flipping through his gallery. "Oh, so you're all high and mighty now that you're dressed? Who hasn't been with you in our old study abroad group?"Everyone knew you were the life of the party, always ready for a good time. A little buzzed at the bar, and you'd hike up your skirt without a second th

Janice did not even get a chance to speak when Yvette, splashing wildly in the pool, shot her hand up."Mr. Graham, help me! Your wife is trying to kill me!"Sean stood frozen.Adrian, fuming inside that Yvette had messed up his plans, did not budge either.In the end, it was a security guard who dove in and pulled her out.Yvette's outfit was skimpy to begin with, a deep V-neck that plunged almost to her navel. Drenched, it clung to her like a second skin, barely containing her curves.She turned to Sean, her head bowed to show off her pale, tender neck, tears streaming down her face like a weeping pear blossom."Mr. Graham, your wife used the party as a cover to sneak off with my husband. I was so mad that I had to confront her."And then... She didn't even apologize, just shoved me into the water!"In the shadows, Sean's eyes were a deep well of unreadable emotion.Yvette bit down hard and threw him a curveball. "Check the security footage. You'll see them, all tangled up
