Lahat ng Kabanata ng Walk in Her Shoes: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

She fell to the ground, scrambling to get back up. She seemed ready to strike again, but after glaring at me for a moment, she suddenly started laughing."Well, I guess there's no point in arguing with someone like you, who can't even keep her own husband," she sneered. "If you know you can't compete with me, you should step aside and know your place. The person who isn't loved is considered the third wheel!"I smiled faintly."The more someone lacks something, the more they flaunt it. You stressing that you're not a third wheel really proves that point." I shot her a sharp look. "Are you really that sensitive about being the mistress? You've already done something so disgraceful, and yet you feel ashamed about it?"Her sarcasm didn't affect me. Instead, my words hit her hard, and I could see her face flush with anger."I'm not a mistress!" she snapped. "We're together because we love each other! You're the one who's messing things up—you're the third wheel here!"I gave her a di

But at this moment, there was nothing about her demeanor that conveyed even a hint of vulnerability.Declan didn't let her off the hook. His voice was low and demanding as he pressed her, bringing up what had happened earlier that morning."Didn't you say you'd be open with me? That you wouldn't hide anything? Then why were you clutching your phone this morning?"Camilla hesitated, trying to keep up the facade, but under Declan's relentless questioning, she could only admit she hadn't been seeing anyone else behind his back.Reluctantly, she handed over her phone. Declan stared at the screen filled with urgent payment notices, and even I was taken aback. I had thought Camilla's debts, which she supposedly carried into the divorce, amounted to just a few hundred thousand. But to my shock, the total was nearly 2 million, almost half of the entire company's cash flow.Once she confessed, Camilla, no longer anxious, looked at Declan with a new gleam in her eyes. "I know it seems

With no money to his name, Declan couldn't afford a hot meal. All he could do was wander outside restaurants, hoping to scavenge leftovers from the tables of others. In stark contrast, Camilla was living a completely different life with Declan's phone in her hand. The money in his account and on his cards was more than enough, and with access to the company's finance department, she could even get reimbursed for her personal expenses. Her life was nothing short of luxurious. She stayed in the finest hotels, dined at the best restaurants, and bought whatever bags she liked, one after another. By the time I returned from my five-day trip, Camilla had already started carrying herself like she was someone important, looking down on everyone, including me. When I showed up at the office, she couldn't even be bothered to hide her disdain and openly mocked me."'There's the woman who couldn't keep a man. I thought you might have jumped off a building in despair. But look at you, still

"I'm already divorced from your son, and this is his new girlfriend. If you're looking for someone, go find her."Declan didn't expect me to be so blunt, and his face immediately darkened as he trailed behind his parents."We can handle our own business, can't we? Why do you have to drag my parents into this? Is this really necessary?" he snapped, crossing his arms and blocking the door.I smiled back at him, unfazed. "If we were really going to handle things ourselves, why did you let your parents bring you back here?" I raised an eyebrow. "Your thoughts are so transparent, and your tricks are laughably amateur. I'm honestly embarrassed for you!"Declan's face flushed red, and he opened his mouth to argue, but his father, who had understood the situation, quickly cut him off with a swift kick."You little punk. You had everything going for you and still cheated on Louisa! I can't believe I raised a lying jerk! All those years of schooling, and this is what you've learned?" De
