Zach had watched the whole thing unfold—from when Ariel opened Jayson's car door to when Nancy, the actual girlfriend, showed up.He couldn't help but shake his head with a chuckle. Why did he always end up catching these entertaining little dramas?No wonder Ariel had given Jayson that look earlier. It turned out she had another idea brewing. And now, just as she tried to get in his car, the actual girlfriend came and put her back in her place."What's so funny?" a low male voice asked from the phone.Zach flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Just saw a juicy little scene unfold. I'm telling you, too much romantic luck can be a pain. Some women really have no end of tricks when they're trying to get a man's attention."The voice on the other end was calm and cutting. "Since when did you get so gossipy?"Zach choked. "Only you would say that to me. I'm just enjoying the show."He stubbed out the cigarette and changed the subject. "Liam, when are you coming back? Are you going to

Ariel didn't even have time to react. While applying pressure on her lower abdomen, she looked up in shock.Blood was already smeared at the corner of Perry's mouth. His face darkened with fury.Across from him, Lucas' usually roguish gaze had turned cold and sharp. Without a word, he stormed forward and grabbed Perry by the collar."What the hell are you doing with her? Don't you know who she is? You sure have a bad taste in women!"Perry had never taken that kind of disrespect from anyone. He immediately threw a punch in return. "Show some respect for me and Ms. Walker!"Lucas ran his tongue over the corner of his mouth and let out a cold laugh before lunging forward again.Respect? After what he just saw? Perry's ears were burning red!Just as it looked like the two men were about to come to blows, Ariel stepped in with a pale face. "Lucas! What the hell is wrong with you?"Lucas froze mid-motion and glanced back at her. He gave a cold, mocking laugh. "Did you want this?"H

When Ariel returned to the marital home, Betty instructed Georgia to simmer some soup. The bubbling sounds from the kitchen filled the air with a subtle, savory aroma.Betty smiled warmly when she saw Ariel come in. "Why are you alone? Where's Jayson? Is he parking the car?"Ariel stayed calm. "He had something to take care of. I came back first."Betty's smile faded instantly. "Whatever it is, it's after work hours. He could've at least come with you!"Ariel forced a small smile but said nothing."Has work been this busy lately?" Betty had Georgia pour Ariel a glass of juice. "Georgia said you and Jayson hardly come back here anymore. What's going on?"Ariel paused, uncertain how to respond.Betty had no idea they were planning to get a divorce. She simply assumed they were both tied up with work and looked at Ariel with concern.Ariel couldn't help feeling frustrated and resigned. She had no idea what Jayson was planning to do. If he didn't tell Betty, how was she supposed to

The only issue was that her appetite had been poor lately. Any strong taste easily triggered nausea.But faced with Betty's concerned look, Ariel forced herself to hold back the wave of queasiness."Jayson, get Ari something sweet to wash down the bitterness," Betty instructed right away.That finally drew Jayson's attention. He didn't refuse, but instead of grabbing something himself, he turned to Georgia and said, "There's a jar of dried cranberries in the kitchen fridge. Bring it here."Georgia quickly returned with it and set it on the table.Ariel's eyes fell on the dried cranberries.She had a preference for sweet and tart flavors. While she rarely snacked, she would occasionally buy dried fruits and stash them in the small fridge in the kitchen.She hadn't expected Jayson to know about that.Not that it mattered anymore.After a moment's hesitation, she took a seat at the table.Seeing their interaction, Betty finally smiled with relief. At least they weren't fighting.

Nancy didn't want Ariel's scent or any trace of her left on Jayson, his things, or in his personal space.Jayson didn't refuse.He glanced up through the rearview mirror and saw the slender figure who had just reached the bus stop.Ariel's body wobbled slightly—maybe low blood sugar—and she had to steady herself by leaning against the nearby billboard.She looked unwell.Jayson's eyes stayed cold and indifferent, but he said, "Stop."Nancy and Renee both turned to look.Renee was the first to notice Ariel's condition. Guessing what Jayson was thinking, she grumbled, "Jay, don't get tricked. She's just upset about being kicked out of the car and putting on an act. Don't pay attention. If you do, you're falling right into her trap."She hurriedly urged Jayson to leave.Nancy glanced back and smirked.Ariel's tricks just kept piling up. She couldn't achieve anything and kept desperately throwing herself at a man who didn't love her. It was honestly pretty pathetic.Jayson looke
