My heart skipped a beat when I turned around to see a handsome stranger standing across the busy room. Tall and confident, he oozed a mysterious aura that drew my attention right away. I felt a bolt of electricity run through my veins as our eyes briefly connected. It seemed as if an unseen link connected us, drawing me towards him in an unexplainable way. My heart was pounding, and a warm flush spread across my cheeks. This mystery guy affected me.
もっと見るJasmine's POV
Sweat drips down my body despite being in an air-conditioned car. My hand trembles as I hold onto the divorce agreement. I can't believe I'm finally divorcing Maxwell.
We've been married for three years, and we were college sweethearts. Everyone looked forward to us tying the knot after graduation. The first year of our marriage was blissful, but afterward, I've been enduring the pain and heartache caused by his infidelity and emotional abuse. An unfaithful husband who shows no sign of changing.
Adding to the strain, I haven't been able to conceive in our three years of marriage. This has caused more tension between us. I once overheard him complaining to his mom about how he desperately needs a child and how I'm unable to give him one. I've been to the doctor several times, and I've been told that nothing is wrong with me.
I get out of my car and notice his car is parked in the garage. What is he doing at home at this time? He should be at work; he's the CEO of a multinational company.
I shake off the thought and make my way inside. The living room is quiet - Maxwell is never quiet when he's home; he always plays soft music. I make my way to the bedroom, and then I hear a faint moan.
My heart begins to race as I realize that the moan is coming from the bedroom. I feel a sense of dread wash over me, and my mind starts to race with worst-case scenarios. I slowly approach the bedroom door, my ears perked up to listen for any other sounds.
The moaning grows louder. "Ah, Max, faster. Min, Max, you are incredible."
I feel a stab of pain when I hear the words. As I slowly open the door to my bedroom, I realize a woman is bouncing on my husband while Maxwell squeezes her hips.
I am overwhelmed with anger. How can he bring a woman to our matrimonial bed? He can afford to go to a hotel. I can't hold back as I step closer. They are oblivious to my presence, so I grab the woman by her hair. "You slut!" I shout in anger.
She lets out a scream like a banshee but refuses to let go of Maxwell; his dick is still stuck in her hole.
Maxwell's eyes widen in shock as he finally notices me. He tries to push the woman away, but she clings to him, her nails digging into his shoulders. "Get off him!" I yell, pulling harder on her hair.
"Let go of me!" she screams as she struggles with me, her nails scratching my arms.
My anger burns. I raise my hand and slap her across the face twice.
Her eyes widen in shock as she stumbles backward from the impact. She regains her composure quickly and rushes at me, ready to fight. She grabs my hair, and I let out a scream, but I turn around and hold her by the neck, bring her hand to my mouth, and bite her as we tumble to the floor.
"Jasmine, stop!" Maxwell rushes over to break us apart, his manhood dangling. I am disgusted by him. The woman clings to Maxwell. I get up as they both stand, and I move to him, slap him across the face, and push him to the bed.
"What the hell," he mutters as he hurriedly gets off the bed and pulls on his pants.
"Maxwell, you have no shame bringing a whore to our matrimonial bed. I know I have tolerated your countless infidelities, but this is the height of it."
Maxwell looks at me in shock. He hasn't expected me to lash out at him and his whore like this. I have always been a submissive wife.
"And you," I say, pointing to the woman, "get the fuck out of this house this minute."
Her face darkens in an instant as she smirks coldly, her breasts fully on display and bouncing. "What makes you think I'll fucking leave this house?" She turns to Maxwell. "Is this your wife? You say her pussy is dry and that she lies like a log of wood whenever you make love to her."
My face burns with shame and humiliation as the woman's crude words pierce me like a dagger. This only adds to my outrage as my gaze is fixed on Maxwell. "Have you gone mad? How could you say such nonsense about me to her?"
"But I'm stating the obvious," he says with a shrug. I rush to him and kick him where the sun doesn't shine.
The shock and pain on his face are fleeting, but the satisfaction of giving him a taste of his own medicine is sweet.
As he doubles over, gasping for breath, I stand over him, my chest heaving with rage. "You deserve that, you're cheating, lying son of a bitch!" I spit out the words, my anger and hurt pouring out like venom.
The woman's eyes widen in shock, and she takes a step back as if realizing too late that she has underestimated me. I turn to her, my gaze blazing with fury. "And you, you homewrecking tramp, get out of my house before I lose my mind completely!"
She gives a sadistic laugh. "Just give up, loser. You have been replaced, and you should get used to that. Throw her out!" she shouts.
I am dumbfounded when I see Maxwell make a move to get up and act on throwing me out, despite the pain I have caused him. At that moment, I know there is no point in fighting. I raise my hand in defeat. "I'll go."
They both look at me in shock, wondering what has gotten into me. There is no point in fighting over a marriage that is over.
I step out of the room to retrieve my bag. When I walk back to my room, I notice that the woman is dressed now. I take out the divorce agreement. "Sign this. Let's go our separate ways."
Shock is an understatement for what I see on Maxwell's face. He knows I have always been a dutiful wife, longing for his love and attention, despite his indifference to me.
I have no idea that this is just the start of a journey into the unknown. I never imagined.
Ava's POV I try to stay away from Maxwell, but every time he calls, his voice has a way of soothing me and sending shivers down my spine, and I end up giving in to his demands.I love him deeply, with everything I have. He is willing to be mine, but everything changed when Jasmine entered the picture. When Maxwell asked her out, she came to me about it. Though it burned me to approve of their relationship, I went ahead and did something I later regretted.The scar from that decision remains raw and visible. Each time I think about it, it cuts deeply. My success as a prominent lawyer in Chicago, with countless cases won. I know I have a wealth of opportunities and admirers. My career in law is thriving, and people often say that many would do anything to be with me. Yet, the ache from losing Maxwell and the regret of how I handled the situation overshadow everything else.I keep telling myself that time will ease the sting, but for now, the choices I made haunt me, When Jasmine tol
Gabriel's POVI know it when my gut feeling is screaming at me, and I know better than to ignore it. I'm happy I didn't ignore it when It told me to head to Jasmine's house, and when I arrived, I saw her in a panic, rushing to pack her bags for California. But I need to stay focused and keep my mind on what matters - Lexi. After Lily left my apartment, I made up my mind to leave Jasmine alone and prioritize Lexi. I know Jasmine might have thought I was stalking her when I showed up at Lino's, but what she doesn't know is that it's one of my favorite restaurants. I just can't help but think of Lexi's face lighting up whenever she sees me, and that alone makes my heart swell with love and affection. I'm determined to put my energy into building a connection with her, and I know that's exactly what I need to do right now.I step out of my car, clutching the Ziploc bag containing Lexi's hair sample, my fingers tightening around it as I head toward Quest Diagnostics. The automatic door
Omg, the state of my living room is a total disaster! I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that Kelly and Sarah, the supposed adults, could let things get this out of hand. I mean, I know they're fun-loving, but come on! I call out their names, "Kelly, Sarah!" and they come scurrying down the stairs, looking like guilty little kids. "Shh, the girls are sleeping," they whisper as if that's an excuse for the chaos they've created. I stand with my hand on my hip, waiting for them to reach the bottom of the stairs, my eyes demanding an explanation. "Seriously, guys, what happened here?" I ask, trying to keep my tone light. As they make their way down the stairs, Kelly and Sarah dramatically flop onto the couch, exhausted. Sarah throws up her hands in frustration, "I don't think I want a baby girl, Jasmine, with what these girls put me through!" Kelly follows suit, collapsing onto the couch beside her, "Me too, Jasmine." I can't help but laugh at their antics, my earlier anger evaporating. I reali
Maxwell's face falls, his eyes widening in shock, but I don't let up. My anger and hurt are boiling over, and I'm not about to let him off the hook that easily. "You didn't care about being a father when you were busy cheating on me," I hissed, my voice venomous. "Why now? Why do you suddenly care about being a father?"I lean in, my eyes blazing "You want to see your daughter? Do you want to be in her life? You're going to have to do a lot more than just utter a pathetic sorry, Maxwell." I spit out the words, my disdain for him clear.And then, I dropped the bombshell. "And you know what? That girl isn't even yours." I say it with conviction, that I don't entirely feel. I know I confirmed the timing of her birth at the hospital, that it falls squarely within the time I was married to Maxwell. But still, I wonder... Why did I say that? I think to myself, even as the words spill outMaxwell's eyes narrow, his gaze flashing with guilt, like he's hiding something. But then, his expressi
I close my eyes slowly, wishing that when I open them again, Maxwell will have vanished into thin air. But when I slowly open them, he's still standing there, his presence feeling like a punch to the gut. This must be a joke, I think to myself, as I close my eyes again, trying to process the chaos spinning in my head. I grip the fork I'm holding tightly, my anger simmering just below the surface.Did Ethan set up this meeting because Maxwell put him up to it? The thought makes my blood boil. I turn to face Ethan, and his eyes seem to be begging me to understand, but I'm not sure I want to hear it.I take a deep breath, trying to calm the storm raging inside me. "What is going on, Ethan?" I ask in a firm but controlled way. "Why is he here?" I nod towards Maxwell, my eyes fixed on Ethan.Ethan's eyes darted back and forth between Maxwell and me, with guilt. "Jasmine, please listen," he says, his voice soft. "I know this is a shock, but I had to invite him."Maxwell takes a step forwar
I'm about to let a curse word slip when I glance over at Lexi, my baby girl, and catch myself. "Shoot!" I exclaim instead, covering up the earlier word.Kelly and Sarah look at me curiously, their eyebrows raised in sync. "What's up?" they ask in unison.I hesitate, remembering my agreement to lunch with Ethan. "I just agreed to lunch with someone and I forgot I have Lexi to take care of now," I admit, feeling a bit frazzled. I've grown used to solo life here while Lexi was in California, so this is a big adjustment.Sarah notices my concern and reassures me with a warm smile. "Don't worry, we've got you covered!" she says.I look at them both skeptically, wondering if they're just teasing me. Are they up for helping me wrangle Lexi, or are they just pulling my leg?But Kelly and Sarah nod in perfect sync, their faces mirroring each other. "Seriously, Jas, we've got you covered!" they say. I breathe a sigh of relief, grateful for their support.I smile, feeling a weight lift off my sh
