1 - The Event.

It was the third anniversary of the JS Group. A lot of elite guests showed up to celebrate the anniversary with the reputable CEO, Julian, who had founded the company and built it up from scratch. Sydney, Julian’s wife, sat with one of the shareholders of the company, Ashley, watching her husband with a proud smile as he gave a speech at the podium. “… I’m so grateful to everyone who came to celebrate with us tonight. Three years ago, this company was just something I had envisioned, but thanks to Ashley, the company has become what it is today,” Julian said, smiling warmly at Ashley.. “Please give her a round of applause.” Sydney’s smile dropped. Ashley wasn’t even his wife yet he was flaunting her before everyone. Sydney tightened her hand around her glass of wine as she thought, if only he knew she was the one who had invested in his company three years ago. The whole audience rose to their feet and clapped. Ashley covered her face with her hands, smiling shyly. “Please don

2 - You Will Regret It.

“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Harris,” the doctor said. “We couldn’t save the baby.” Sydney’s hand drifted to her stomach, her brows creasing. “What are you talking about?” The doctor straightened and slid a file across his desk. “You may not have known, but you were three weeks pregnant when you were rushed in yesterday. The pain you felt was a miscarriage.’ Miscarriage? Could it have happened because of the wine? She needed to look into it to be certain that the wine was just a mere coincidence. But something told her it wasn’t. She never had trusted Ashley to begin with. What happened to her just proved why she shouldn’t. She checked the files. Three weeks. A fragile life had flickered inside her, unknown, only to slip away before she was even aware. Her fingers tightened around the papers, her vision blurring as she kept reading the words. It was proof that her child was gone. Gone. The word hit hard. Sydney closed her eyes, a lone tear dropping down her cheek. She qu

3 - Isn’t That Why You Divorced Me?

“You must really think you are worth being called my wife.” Julian mocked her, his voice laced with disgust. “All you did was take my money like a spoiled brat and spend it on other men! It is obvious I’m way out of your league, Sydney. So stop wasting my time and sign the divorce papers!” With a heavy heart, Sydney signed the papers and flung it at Julian. “Pick it up and get out,” without looking at him, she said. “Also, don’t worry about me staying here, I will be leaving in the morning.” As Julian walked out of her bedroom, a lone tear dropped down Sydney’s eyes. Just in one day, she had lost both her baby and her husband. The next morning, Sydney had arranged all her belongings in several suitcases. She zipped up the last suitcase and took one last look at her bedroom. It used to be theirs before Julian moved out. She would miss living in the same place with Julian, but as much as it would hurt her it was high time she moved on. The workers looked at Sydney with pity as she ca

4 - Who Is He?

“I wouldn’t let you insult me like this, Julian!” Sydney snapped. “I have been devoted to you all through our marriage and you are just going to accuse me of cheating on you when you don’t even amhave any proof?” “Who said I didn’t have proof?” Julian said.”Ashley showed me everything.” “So you will believe Ashley’s words over mine?” Sydney’s voice broke as she spoke. “Ashley is lying to you! Can’t you see that?!” Julian rubbed his face, his frown deepening. He pointed at the exit of the living room and said. “Just get out of my house, Sydney. Me and you are done!” Sydney exhaled, her whole body trembling. Tears pricked behind her eyes, but she fought against it. “I hope you are happy with your decision,” she said and walked out of the living room. Ashley smirked as she watched Sydney leaving the living room. Outside the mansion, Sydney stood by the roadside with her luggage. She brought out her phone from her purse and dialed a number she hadn’t called for five years. In no ti

5 - We Are Divorced.

After driving for an hour, the car parked in front of a magnificent mansion. The staff working at the mansion had already filed out to welcome Sydney. It had been five years since she had been home so they wanted her to feel welcomed on her arrival. The man who had come to pick her got down from the car and went to open the back door for Sydney. He was her father's personal chauffeur. Seeing that her father had sent his personal chauffeur to pick her up, Sydney felt her father must have missed her too and might have forgiven her for what she had done. Sydney got down from the car. Although it had been years since she left, the mansion looked the same and felt like home. The head of the staff stepped forward and bowed in courtesy. “Welcome home, Miss Steinfeld.” After greeting Sydney, she directed the staff on what to do. Some of the staff came to meet her and helped in removing her jacket and another collected her purse and placed it on a tray. Others went to the boot and took ou

6 - Rise of a Phoenix.

“Ex-Husband, We are divorced.” Her mother crossed her arms, looking pleased. “Well, it's a good thing you finally realized that man doesn’t deserve you as his wife.” She picked up a cup of coffee from the polished mahogany table. “People like him never match our standards to begin with.” Julian might be a billionaire, but compared to the Steinfeld family whose total wealth exceeded trillion dollars, he was insignificant. “He divorced me,” Sydney clarified. Her mother blinked, her hand freezing as she held her cup of coffee close to her mouth. “What did you just say?” Sydney sighed, dropping her cutlery by her dish. “He divorced me, claiming I cheated on him.” “Did you?” Her brother asked, looking curious. “So what if she cheated?” Her aunt demanded, narrowing her eyes at her brother. “It is obvious Sydney must have been going through hell in that marriage!” Her aunt rubbed her forehead and gave Sydney a sympathetic look. “That was why we had advised you not to marry him.

7 - Let’s Get Married.

Sdyney walked into the auction room and spotted Aleric sitting alone. He was Julian’s business rival as they both owned construction companies and usually competed for projects. She walked towards him and sat down, crossing her legs as she got herself comfortable. She turned to his side and said, “You must be the famous Aleric.” The man turned and focused his attention on Sydney, his brow raising slightly as he studied her face. “I’m sorry, do I know who you are?” Aleric asked politely. “I’m Sydney, Julian's ex-wife,” Sydney replied with a dry smile. Aleric looked surprised. “I didn’t know you guys had divorced. I’m sorry to hear about that,” he said calmly. Sydney shook her head. She picked up a drink from the tray of a passing waiter before saying, “Please don't be. The divorce was for the best.” She studied Aleric. He was handsome and had a muscular build, but he wasn't as hot as Julian. Wait, why was she even comparing him to Julian? “You must be wondering why I'm talkin

8 - The Heart Of The Sea.

Sydney and Aleric were engaged in their conversation when Julian and Ashley walked into the auction room. Julian stopped by his seat, looking at Sydney before Ashley called for his attention to have his seat. They had sat at the other side of the room. Soon, the room was filled with many people and the auction started. The auctioneer stepped onto the stage, speaking about the various items the Steinfeld family will be auctioning for charity. The first item on the menu was a diamond necklace called the heart of the sea which was owned by the only daughter of the Steinfeld family. It was believed to be worn by Rose during the Titanic which made it very peculiar and invaluable. Many of the guests were in awe at the beauty of the necklace and wanted to have it themselves. “This necklace will start bidding at ten thousand dollars,” the auctioneer announced, standing before the necklace which was displayed on a distinctive glass stand. Ashley studied the necklace, her heart clenched t

9 - Don’t Marry Her.

After the auction was over, Sydney went to the restroom. She met Ashley in the restroom, standing proudly before a mirror. She was retouching her mascara along her eyelashes when she noticed Sydney’s presence. She lowered the mascara brush from her face and scoffed. “What are you doing here?” Sydney fought the urge to roll her eyes as she walked past Ashley. “This is a restroom.” Ashley caressed the heart of the sea necklace around her neck and said, “You must be embarrassed that you lost something like this to me.” She straightened up and looked at Sydney. “You got yourself another rich man yet you can’t afford to bid one million dollars. Why? Did your new man find out that you are worthless?” Sydney ignored Ashley and looked at her reflection in the mirror, adjusting her curly chestnut brown hair to the side of her face. “Let me give you a little advice just for old times. You aren't married to Julian anymore. No man will spend so much on you as he did. Keep that in mind before

10 - Business Rivals To Love Rivals.

While they were walking out of the event hall, Aleric asked. “It seems your husband has no idea you are from the Steinfeld family.” “Yes,” Sydney replied. “Can I ask why?” “I just…” she sighed. “Back then when I met him, he was financially unstable. I didn’t want him to feel insecure around me so I hid my identity from him.” “Wow,” Aleric said, looking impressed. “You seem to care about him a lot.” “It is all in the past.” Aleric borrowed his eyes, studying Sydney. “Is it?” “What do you mean?” They stepped outside and walked towards the parking lot. Aleric shrugged. “I mean, if it is all in the past then why are you still hiding your identity from him? Why are you allowing his mistress to treat you like that? I’m just trying to understand why you are being so calm about it.” “I have my reasons.” Aleric smirked. “It seems you like being mysterious. You do know that will prevent people from understanding you, right?” Sydney stopped walking and met Aleric’s gaze. “I don't car
