Zuriel POVI chuckled, seeing the news in the tabloid. She thinks by getting new investors for her company, she can win from me.Flashback"Sir, Mr. Fleming's call is there for you," Elvin said, showing me the phone.I nodded and took it."Long time but no see, Mr. Richardson," he chuckled."Can I say the same about you," I said chucklingMr. Fleming, I mean Jason Fleming, was my high school friend, but we didn't talk much after he inherited his father's company, and I was also busy with mine."So, your wife comes today, the man. She's so beautiful. You're so lucky to have her. She's definitely the beauty with the brain," he said.And I rolled my eyes. What did she have that everyone just went crazy over? I didn't see anything special in her.I even saw more beautiful girls than she."So," I said, raising my brows."Actually, she wants me to invest in her company, but seeing that her previous investors backed off because you told them to, I wonder if I should sign with her company or

Zuriel POV Sipping on the champagne, I checked the time again. She should be here any minute and that's when I saw her approaching us. To say I was stunned would be an understatement, I was gob smacked.I never expected her to look so... different. If I say I wasn't turned on I would be lying. This Brielle was completely different than the one I married. She completely stunned me.The dress she was wearing wasn't the most extraordinary dress I've ever seen but it suited her perfectly, showing right amount of curves, especially her long leg. I wonder how would her legs feel wrapped around my waist. My thoughts made me feel uncomfortable and I took a generous amount of champagne.She just made this night a whole lot worse than I actually planned to. What surprised me that even with her bold appearance, she was colouring deep root red with everyone's eyes on her. My guess is that no idiot ever told her how beautiful she actually is.She was still standing uncomfortably as we all took in

Brielle POVI knew something was off tonight, that's why I didn't wanted to go at all in the first place. How stupid of me to think nothing would happen tonight. From the moment he invited me I knew it. And yet I trusted him like a fool. I never ever felt so humiliated in my entire life. I agree I am not as rich as they were but that didn't mean they had to make me feel like trash.'I had it coming.' I felt like laughing but ended up crying more.I kicked an empty trash on the road furiously. I felt pathetic crying my eyes out for people like them. Ever since I left from there I kept thinking that why is god so kind to people like them? Why did he had to blessed them with so much money but didn't even bless them with a soul.Am I that pathetic that they had to insult me?Is my fault that is decided to marry him to save my dad's company for which he worked so hard for.Or was it my fault to believe maybe he is different. I really thought maybe he is hiding himself from the others. Mayb

I went upstairs, not caring how awkward it must be for the two. As I was about to enter my room, I saw my reflection in one of the mirrors and grimaced at myself. I look like shit. No kidding, I had panda eyes from all the crying and my hair was fuzzy. I have to give credit to Samuel for not saying anything. I quickly took a shower and joined them. Surprisingly, Samuel and Analia were getting along perfectly. After some time, Samuel decided to go home."Isn't he just beautiful?" Analia muttered dreamily when he left, and I just laughed.She asked me about my night, and I told her everything. We never hid anything from each other back there in high school, so why now? Let's say she didn't take it in a good way. It took me one hour to explain that I was really fine and to make her get rid of the baseball she had in her hands.As I rested on my bed, I couldn't help but think about what Samuel told me. He said he had been through a lot, and I could tell by the way he would switch his mood

"In the kitchen, downstairs," I said loudly, letting her know where I was.It took her five minutes to find the kitchen, and by that time, I was making coffee for myself. I took a long look at her appearance, and I busied myself so I wouldn't get caught staring at her. Her dress was riled up to her thighs, offering me a view I could enjoy all day. Her hair was open and all messed up, giving her a sexy morning look. How strange is it for her to be in my place looking like she has just been fucked up without us even doing it? The icy blue eyes were staring at me in shock."Morning." I greeted her softly.She gently smiled at me first, and then her smile turned into a scowl, as if she remembered what I did to her, and she glared at me deathly. Her face was set in a frown as she looked around for an exit, I suppose. I knew I quickly had to do something, otherwise she would never forgive me and the guilt would eat me alive."Let me explain... please."Her face was deadpanned but she made n
