Reese POV

The Goodwin mansion’s study was a battlefield of shadows, the London night pressing against the heavy curtains, the air thick with tension and the metallic tang of fear. Jennifer stood over me, her gun trained on my head, its cold barrel a constant threat as I knelt by Elliot’s open safe, stuffing cash and jewels into duffel bags.

Her manic smile gleamed in the dim light of the desk lamp, her eyes wild with a mix of triumph and rage. Sammy and Avie were asleep down the hall, their inn

  • Traded For His First Love    73: He Clearly Hates me Now

    Cassie POV "I can't believe it, girl. You're such a mad bitch!" I almost screamed I was so shocked. Beckie was telling me about her recent affair with Mariano in Owensboro. She was recounting all the madness that had happened there, and also expressing her fear that Mariano wouldn't come after her to Chicago. "Are you for real, you crazy girl? Have you forgotten how much you suffered because of that idiot Mariano?" Until now, I thought we had turned the page on Mariano in our lives, but that stubborn guy always insisted on showing up to play on my girl's face. "I know I shouldn't have, hun. But I couldn't help myself, okay? When I saw him there, so handsome and attractive... Cassie, I couldn't hold back and ended up fucking with him, and not just once," she whimpered on the other end of the line, and I rolled my eyes at that. "You slept with him even though he has a pregnant fiancée!" I accused her, and she let out a curse. "Screw that useless little bitch! She wants to ta

  • Traded For His First Love    4: To prove my worth

    Vivian POV The truth was, unlike Roseanne and all my friends, I didn’t come from a wealthy family. Quite the opposite, my mother, Sadie, always had to work hard as a maid to pay for my and my sister’s education expenses. That’s why I always dreamed of working and becoming rich to repay my mother’s efforts. But things hadn’t been easy, they never were for someone from the outskirts. Today, I was married to one of the richest men in the city, and I had finally been promoted from a simple secretary to creative director at Williams Jewels, an achievement only possible because of Ernest, since before that, I worked there for years, even with a design degree, but as a woman, they never listened to me. But Ernest recognized my work, and now I could finally do what I loved most. Unfortunately, my mother was no longer here to see me succeed and enjoy my victory with her; she had passed away years ago, a victim of cancer, leaving a great void in my heart. But I kept fighting to make he

  • Traded For His First Love    3: Bridges and Barriers

    Vivian POVThe morning sun glinted off the New York skyline, its golden rays weaving through the city’s pulse as I drove Laura and Graham to school, the hum of the car a steady backdrop to the morning’s energy. Laura, strapped in her booster seat, was a burst of chatter, her brown curls bouncing as she waved her stuffed unicorn. “Mommy, can we go to the amusement park? I wanna ride the big slide!” she said, her voice bright with excitement, her eyes sparkling in the rearview mirror.I glanced at her, my heart warmed by her enthusiasm, a stark contrast to the weight I carried from my talk with Graham two nights ago—his guarded words, Brian’s lies about Ernest still echoing. “We’ll go to the amusement park later, sweetie,” I promised, my voice soft. “Maybe this weekend, okay? You, me, Graham, and Daddy.”“Yay!” Laura squealed, kicking her legs, her unicorn flopping in her lap. “Can we eat cotton candy too?”“Only if you share,” I teased, catching her grin in the mirror. Beside her, Gra

  • Traded For His First Love    2: A Fragile Morning

    Vivian POVThe morning light slipped through the gauzy curtains of our bedroom, casting a soft, dappled glow across the quilt where Ernest and I lingered, tangled in the warmth of each other’s arms. His breath was steady against my neck, his arm a comforting weight across my waist, and I pressed closer, reluctant to let the day pull us from this quiet haven. The world outside—New York’s restless hum, the demands of Williams Jewels, the shadow of Brian’s venom seeping into Graham’s heart—felt distant here, in the cocoon of our bed. Ernest’s fingers traced lazy circles on my back, his voice a low, teasing murmur. “Can we just skip the day, Viv? Stay right here, just you and me?”I smiled, brushing a kiss along his jaw, his familiar cedar scent grounding me like an anchor. “You’re gonna get us both fired, Mr. Williams. Some CEO you are.”He chuckled, his eyes crinkling with the boyish charm that had stolen my heart when we were kids, sneaking glances in the schoolyard before his family’

  • Traded For His First Love    1: My Past Is Haunting Me

    Vivian POVThe hum of the car’s engine was a soft lullaby, blending with the faint thump of music leaking from Graham’s earbuds as he slouched in the backseat, his hoodie pulled low over his eyes. Beside him, Laura slept, her small chest rising and falling, her brown curls splayed across the car seat, a peaceful contrast to the storm brewing in my heart. The New York skyline glittered beyond the window, its lights a promise of the life we’d built, but as Ernest drove us home from the Goodwins’ brunch, my thoughts churned with unease. The afternoon had been warm, filled with Reese’s laughter, Alice’s teasing, and the kids’ joyful chaos, but beneath it all, a shadow lingered—Brian Thompson, my ex-husband, and the poison he was dripping into our son’s mind.Ernest glanced at me, his hand resting on the gearshift, his voice low and warm. “Did you have a good time at Reese’s, Viv? That brunch was something else.”I smiled, the memory of Reese’s scones and Alice’s bubbly pregnancy stories

  • Traded For His First Love    Epilogue: Life Ever After

    Reese POV New York, Months Later It was a beautiful spring afternoon, and Reese Hudson-Goodwin decided to prepare a brunch and invite her closest friends for the occasion. Life in New York was better than expected. Despite moving with apprehensions, the Goodwins quickly settled into the city with the help of their friends. Although Elliot had to return to London from time to time to manage his family’s business, when he was in New York, he worked remotely, giving him more time to be present in the lives of his beloved wife and adored children. He was loving it, even taking up gardening in the backyard of their new home. Avie was his best companion, as the little girl loved playing in the dirt and, above all, her father’s company. Reese, who had returned to using her pseudonym Venus and recently opened her new atelier, was celebrating the opening’s great success. The local media couldn’t stop talking about it; everyone wanted to see her work, and she finally felt truly welcomed.
