LYDIA

The strong smell of brewing coffee was what roused my from sleep.

I jerked up in bed instantly because that was quite the unusual occurrence.

Adrian never made coffee.

He had people for that and I was so damn sure he wasn’t home now, who was in that kitchen?

I pulled on a robe and hurried down the stairs to inspect of it was a burglar.

As if a burglar would make coffee?

There was none.

I found Adrian sitting at the kitchen island still wearing yesterday's suit.

The divorce papers I had se

    LUCASThe world stopped for a moment after Lydia left because she was all that I couldn't think about.The woman who had been haunting my thoughts, every waking minute, for the past few days.My eyes remained on the open door for so long after she had left.Every damn cell in my body was currently recalling every single thing she had made me feel in that one night.A soft sigh escaped my lips.Of all the women in this big city? It just had be Lydia? The woman I had gone out with, chosen to be with was married? Separated, I think?I leaned back in my chair while running both of my hands through my short messy hair, wondering how on earth this coincidence had come to be.Someone's wife.My elbow met the table as I buried by face in my palms."Fuck it," I groaned loudly.How had I missed everything?My heart pounded hard.Still, at least there was something, anything to keep me from feeling as guilty as I was about fucking another man's wife without remorse.Only the fact that she didn't

    LYDIAIt rained cats and dogs the morning of my interview at the Costello Architecture, but I still managed to turn up on time in a blue skirt suit and matching stiletto heels.The glass building was exactly the kind of modern design I had always loved and I stood on the sidewalk for a moment after alighting the taxi to admire the edifice.And when I was done, I swiftly gathered every bit of my almost waning courage and then walked through the revolving doors towards the receptionist.The receptionist smiled at me when I arrived at the counter, presenting my folder containing my invite letter and explaining why I was there."You must be Ms. Darnell. Mr. Costello is expecting you on the top floor."She pointed me towards the employee's elevator with a few instructions."Thank you," I said.I turned towards the direction she pointed me and found the twin employee elevator which was sitting empty, so I stepped in.There was silence as I rode up to the top floor.All these while I was just

    ADRIANI sat in my office, looking at the envelope the courier had dropped on my desk with a polite nod.The return address belonged to a law firm, possibly the one Lydia had hired and inside I found the official divorce petition.She had really gone ahead and filed the stuff without my consent.Everything had already been processed through the courts—moving forward whether I cooperated or not.I should have felt relieved.This was exactly what I wanted, wasn't it?To be free from my unwanted wife?To have a clear path to marry Vanessa.But why did my chest feel so tight? Why did all of it feel wrong somehow?Why was she doing this?And for the first time since our marriage, I realised I didn't know anything about her, except of course the things I have heard from people, Vanessa especially.I dropped the papers and turned to my computer to pull up the employee files.Since I was an official partner with her parents company, I had access to it.I had never even bothered to look at Lyd

    LYDIAAfter I blocked every single one of them, I deduced it was time to reclaim my life.My feet carried me to the storage closet in the bedroom which I opened.A quick find later, I pulled out my old dusty portfolio case from the back.The dust that covered the black leather showed it hadn't been touched it in years.Just like me, prior to my passionate night with that handsome man at the bar.A blush swiftly spread across my cheeks as I recalled him, moving inside me.My clit instantly began to throb at the unwanted reminder of raw pleasure.If only I didn't have to leave, I would give anything to experience that night again.He had made me feel like a woman.I cleared my throat as I pushed the thoughts to the back of my head.That wasn't what was important now.My eyes returned to the portfolio which I opened to find filled with sketches and renderings from my college days.There were room layouts, color palettes, home decors, furniture designs etc.A soft smile curved my lips as

    LYDIAI chose a quiet corner table at the coffee shop downtown when I arrived.All the account numbers from my past life easily came back to me then.I had seen every single one of these records during the embezzlement investigation, how couldn't I when the prosecutors had shown me page after page of transactions that all supposedly traced back to me?I remembered the real account numbers too, the ones that actually belonged to Vanessa, and I typed them out, one by one.Account 4782-9341-6628.Account 5593-2847-1104.There were three more after that.Then came the dates.March 15th.April 3rd.May 22nd.June 8th.Every one of the transaction made its way to my excel sheet, each one of them pulling money from Blackwell Industries and being funneled into several offshore accounts.And I noticed that Vanessa had been smart enough to carefully space each of them out to avoid easy detection.I cross-referenced everything with the public financial records I had obtained and checked in with

    VANESSAMy phone was pressed against my left ear as I paced my entire bedroom."Fiona, you need to see her!" I cried into the receiver. "She is totally out of control!"My heart was pounding heavily."Calm down, Vanessa and tell me exactly what happened in detail."I took a deep breath then exhaled."Ok, I asked her to but she refused to take the fall for the embezzlement case."Fiona gasped."Lydia said no? To you?"Her question annoyed me more."Lydia refused!""Oh my god!" She exclaimed. "That has never happened before now."I swallowed softly.Fiona was right.Lydia had never turned me down before. She had and would always be just a tool but now that tool was a weapon pointing at me."She didn't just say no," I continued.My chest contracted tighter."What happened next?" Fiona asked eagerly, taking my life as a spicy gist from a hot tabloid.I was tempted to hiss but I didn't."And then Lydia also had the effrontery to slap me hard in front of everyone."My voice rose higher with
