All Chapters of The Game of a Married Woman : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Marceline’s POVI headed straight to the counter to pay for the things I had picked. I didn’t have time to waste on Anastasia and her mother. Their words were nothing but noise to me...empty noise that wasn’t worth my breath.“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Anastasia’s mother snapped sharply, suddenly blocking my way.I took a step back, frowning as her strong perfume filled my nose. It was almost choking.“Of course she won’t talk,” Anastasia said with a scornful smile as she gently moved her mother aside, pretending to act calm. “This isn’t Stanmore Global, where she gets to throw her power around.”I didn’t reply, but a small smile crossed my mind. At least she still remembered that I hated being blocked. I might have ignored her when she snatched the clothes earlier, but blocking my path was something I wouldn’t tolerate.“Philip doesn’t come home to you, does he?” Anastasia asked with a sneer, her tone sharp and full of bitterness. “He loves me, Marceline. So wake up and divorc

Philip’s POVI stood still, watching Marceline walk away. I had never seen her this angry before.“Marceline,” I called and went after her, but she didn’t slow down. She entered her room and slammed the door. I tried to open it, but it was locked from inside.I sighed in frustration. I didn’t like how things were going between us. We were husband and wife, yet we lived like strangers. How did we end up like this? I closed my eyes and dragged my hand through my hair, knowing well that I was the one who broke our marriage.But how did she know that I gave Anastasia the card? I wondered, heading to my room.I was about to remove my tie when my phone rang. It was Anastasia.“Philip,” Anastasia’s voice burst through the line, high and shaky. She was crying. “You can’t believe what Marceline did to me today,” she said between sobs.I frowned. How could someone’s voice be this loud and sharp? These days, everything about her irritated me.“She humiliated me!” she cried even louder. I moved t

Philip’s POVEarlier after dinner“Oh, Grandfather!” Marceline called, laughing at something he said. Her laughter was so bright and contagious that I found myself smiling too. Grandfather was teasing her about how beautiful she had become since she returned to work.And he was right. Marceline looked even more beautiful these days.“Philip is really taking good care of you at the company,” Grandfather said with a big smile. I saw Marceline’s laughter fade a little, but she quickly forced it back so he wouldn’t notice.My heart tightened. What Grandfather said was far from the truth.“Philip probably leaves his office all the time just to be with you,” Grandfather chuckled, giving me a knowing look.My mind went blank. I understood that look perfectly. I used to do that ...leave my work behind just to see Marceline. Back then, nothing else mattered but being near her ... talking, laughing, kissing, and making love to her. But now... I couldn’t even remember the last time we shared a

Clara’s POV I stood in my office, looking out of the window with my phone in my hand. My heart was beating so fast. I was nervous and scared at the same time. I was waiting for a message from someone, and every second felt longer. What I was about to do was wrong. I knew it. And I also knew that if Dominic found out, he would kill me. But I had no other choice. He left me with no choice. Beep. My phone pinged. I quickly looked down and saw the message I had been waiting for. It was from her. “Done.” I took a deep breath and swallowed hard. My hand shook a little. There was no going back now. I had come too far to stop. I turned away from the window, took off my coat, and picked a small bottle of perfume from my bag. I sprayed it all over my body. When I was done, I picked up some documents from my desk and walked out of my office. I entered the elevator and pressed the button to the presidential floor. I wanted to get there fast before anyone tried to stop me. My heart

Marceline’s POVI stared at Dominic, who was sleeping peacefully like he hadn’t been wild just an hour or two ago. His handsome face looked so calm now. I reached out and ran my hand gently through his hair. He smiled unconsciously, like he could feel my touch even in his sleep, and a soft smile tugged at my lips.I didn’t want to leave his arms, but I needed to use the restroom. Slowly, I lifted his arm from around my waist so I wouldn’t wake him and slipped out of bed. We were still in the private room inside his office.When I got to the bathroom, I freshened up. After that, I opened the closet and took one of his shirts to wear. I sighed as I remembered how he had torn my shirt earlier. The memory brought heat to my cheeks. I buttoned his shirt halfway and walked back into the room.Dominic was already awake, leaning against the headboard of the bed. His hair was messy, and he looked tired but calm.“How are you feeling now?” I asked with a small smile as I walked closer to him. I
