VERA’S POV

My phone wouldn’t stop vibrating.

At first, I ignored it. I was half-buried under my duvet, eyes closed, caught between sleep and wakefulness.

My phone has become background noise lately buzzing and blinking without demanding my attention.But it didn’t stop.The vibrations came again. And again. Sharp, insistent like something alive crawling across the mattress beside me.I frowned and opened my eyes.The screen lit up the dark room, notification banners stacking so rapidly I couldn’t even read them all unknown numbers, news alerts, social media tags, mentions. My chest tightened, a quiet instinct stirring before my mind caught up.Something was wrong.Or… right.I pushed myself up against the headboard, unlocking my phone. My thumb moved slowly, as if some part of me already knew what I was about to see and wanted to delay it.Anthony’s face filled the screen.I f

    VERA’S POVAnthony stared at me expectantly;“One,” I started, “Send me a copy of the divorce papers, already signed by you. I don't need your poor assets.He swallowed hard but didn't say a word.“Two,” I continued, “You will do whatever I ask you to do. Starting now.”“What?” he was taken aback,“You heard me right,” I said, stepping slowly away from him, “And the first thing you'll do is take off your jacket and clean my shoes with it. In front of everyone.”His eyes widened in horror. “Vera…”I glared at him, “What did you just call me?”“I mean, Jewel. But you're being ridiculous,” he stepped closer, shaking his head, “I have a dignity to uphold, I can't do that in front of all these people.” “No?” I tilted my head. “My father and my brothers will be thrilled to know that my pathetic husband is here.”I turned away and walked into the crowd.“Three.

They all looked pretty and I didn't know which one to pick.After much deliberation, I picked the sparkling blue ball gown.I was dolled up with make-up, sparkling diamonds on my neck, ears and wrist. My hair was curled like a Disney princess hairdo.I've never been this pampered and adorned like this in my life.After everything was completed, I stood in front of the mirror and I could barely recognize myself.I looked stunning, I didn't have anyone to tell me that. I looked like I had just stepped out of a royal portrait, a woman dressed in power.I saw Anthony’s name on the guestlist, a

I swear I’ll crumble him before nightfall.”Russell leaned forward, his jaw ticking. “Just give the word.
