Chapter 1

Chapter 1Riley's PovMy first mistake was going to Claire's house to cry my eyes out before her to see what marriage did to me. The second mistake I made was allowing her to drag me down here to get drunk, and the last mistake for the day was sitting down here and eyeing another man who was not my husband.I knew I shouldn't be doing this even when I was drunk. I shouldn't be here in a bar in the first place. I shouldn't be taking shaky steps towards the elegant Aiden Cole, whose grey eyes remained on my cleavage.I shouldn't have made it to his side. I shouldn't have leaned in for a kiss on his delicate, juicy-looking lips, nor should I have wrapped my arms around his neck.I shouldn't sit down on his dick, strangle him with my butt, and eat up his lips aggressively like I was doing.It was not my fault, my husband made me do it.***Weeks ago..."Let's welcome Riley Spears, our guest speaker today on our show HOW TO KEEP YOUR DESTINED HUSBAND AS A PERFECT WIFE." The main presenter

Chapter 2

Chapter 2Riley's Pov I woke up very early the next morning. I had my husband's schedule at hand, therefore, I knew he would have a meeting with the stakeholders in his company today. Firstly, I prepared his breakfast even though I knew he would not have it. I arranged it on the dining table.When I was waiting for him to come down from his room, I quickly arranged the document for his meeting, even though I was not his secretary, and I got everything ready. His laptop. His files. Everything that he would need for his meeting, so that there would be no mistake.I never wished for my husband to be mad at me for anything, and I made sure I did everything right so that he would have a reason to look at me.He soon came down the stairs and like every other day, he was not smiling. He looked as if he were having a bad day in the morning. It was not a new thing for me. It was like the normal old everyday thing."Good morning, dear. I cooked breakfast and arranged your documents.""I never

Chapter 3

Riley's Pov With all my disagreement about Sophia coming to stay in the house with us, my husband was pulling farther away from me, and it looked as if I was losing my husband. I couldn't keep watching that. So one day, when he brought it up again, I had to listen to him, now seeing it from his own point of view.It was one of the rarest days when he would eat dinner. He took nothing more than two spoonfuls before he dropped his spoon to discuss with me."About Sophia," He began.I dropped my spoon as well, "What is it about her?""You know that she cannot stay in your parents' house. She left the country in the first place because of them, and now that she needs you to help her with accommodation as her sister, you don't want to be there for her. She has been staying in the hotel."I regretted that I was not that heartless, though I was not close with Sophia, I couldn't watch her sleeping in a hotel every night as if she had no sister or relative.And also since her return made my h

Chapter 4

Riley's Pov I never knew that my marriage to Ethan could be so blissful and full of memories because of Sophie's presence in our house. If I had known, I would have invited Sophia to the house a very long time ago.Recently, since Sophia has been home, Ethan has been staying at home more often. Before, his work hours had always ended at night, but recently, he had been coming home quickly, and the food I had been cooking in the morning, afternoon, and evening, he had been eating them, unlike before, when he would leave them all on the dining table without touching them.Like every other day, I woke up early to prepare breakfast, get into the kitchen, and open the fridge to pick out the ingredients I would need for the food I would be preparing. Sophia met me there when I was at it."Good morning, sis. You look radiant this morning, like every day." She said to me.I chuckled at her words wholeheartedly, and replied to her, "You are no different."Recently, since Sophia had been aroun

Chapter 5

Riley's Pov I couldn't stay there washing as my husband was having the type of sex he had never done to me with my sister. I fled from the office all the way to Claire's house. I didn't know how I got there, because the journey from our house to her house was such a long one, but before I knew it, I was out of the door, knocking at her door.She opened the door, "Riley!" She called out her surprises.I covered my face with my hands and burst into more tears at her doorpost with no word said.She immediately paved a way for me to enter her house and she led me in to sit on the sofa in her sitting room. I think she could sense that I was not ready to talk, so she only sat down with me, patting my back in her way of comforting me.I wept bitterly like I would never weep again. My heart was heavy and my head was banging like my head was the field house of about twenty-two players on a football pitch, the mucus in my nose was rolling like the stinking germs in a running water, and my eyes

Chapter 6

Riley's Pov When I woke up the next morning, my sins came knocking at me. I woke up in an unfamiliar hotel room and on someone's bed who was not my husband. I packed up all my clothes and wore them quickly as I sneaked out of the room when the man was still sleeping. I boarded a cab to Claire's house."Where were you last night? After drinking up my drink, I looked for you, and when I couldn't find you, I came home." Claire asked me immediately after I stepped into the house.I dropped my voice to a whisper when I answered her, "I spent the night with a stranger.""What? I only told you to drink out your worries, not to spread your legs to a stranger. Though, I won't regret my actions if I were you."She was wrong. I was regretting everything from going to the bar with her to everything that happened at night. It made me feel as if I was not different from Ethan and Sophia.But what was done was done.Claire nudged my shoulder, "Cheer up, be happy you get fucked.""What if I get preg

Chapter Seven – Divorce

Riley’s POVI parked my car in front of my parents’ mansion, not wanting to go in. They had always despised me and treated me like an outcast in the family. Back as a kid, I hated myself and hated them. I’d wished to be normal, a normal girl who has loving friends and family, who will always cherish me, love me, and never let me go. I wished I had real parents who would tell me stories, take me to parks, buy me my favorite toys, play with me, and host the perfect birthday party for me. But all that was just the mentality, just a dream that could never come true. And yes, it never did. “Miss Riley, you’re here?” The security man said, knocking at my car window, disrupting me from my thoughts. I forced a smile, “Mr. Charlie…”“Oh, Miss Riley, I can’t believe you’re here. I can’t remember the last time you came here, but I’m happy to see you,” he smiled gently.“I’m happy to see you too. Right, is my parents’ home?” He nodded in response, “Yes, master just arrived home from the com

Chapter 8

Riley’s POVI couldn’t stay any longer in that house and left immediately, because being there was like a weight pressing down heavily on me. Sophia loved Ethan; she adored him, cared for him, she had always wanted to be with him, and he did the same for her. Whereas I, who had been doing more than these things for him, never got any acknowledgment. Tears blurred my eyes as I quickly got into my car, I took off my glasses, throwing them into the back seat as I sobbed. After all these years, this was what I got from the man I loved, from the one person I called my sister, from the people I called my family. It was fucked up…just fucking fucked up!I hated myself for being this weak, for crying over a man who never for once reciprocated my feelings, for a man I treated as my husband, and he treated me, his wife, as a total stranger.I started up the car and drove off the premises, not looking back once more. And then I made up my mind, if she wanted him, she could have him. Later

Chapter 9

Riley’s POVThe smell of coffee hit me immediately I stepped into the café, wrapping around me like memory. It had been days, if not weeks since I’d last been here, and the place hadn’t changed.This café was more than just a spot for us, it was our safe haven, carved out long ago from the chaos of London.Claire had already arrived, waving at me with that energy only she carried, a half-drunk latte in her hand and bold gold earrings swinging on her ears.“Riley!” she called out, smiling.I pulled my coat tighter around me, my sunglasses hiding the puffiness around my eyes, and I forced a smile, the hardest I’ve ever forced.I slid into the seat across from her and exhaled slowly as though I’d been holding my breath all day.“God Riley, you look like you haven’t slept in days,” Claire said, setting her cup down.I gave a small laugh. “That’s because I haven’t.”The waitress appeared with an espresso I didn’t remember ordering. Claire must have ordered for me; she always did that when

Chapter 10

Riley’s POVI waved Claire goodbye with a shaky smile; her warm arms still lingered around me from the big hug she gave me before she left. Her words echoed in my mind: ‘You deserve someone who chooses you.’ It was the kind of thing only she could say to me, and I’ll believe her, even for just a moment.When I got into the parking lot, the sound of a car door clicking open drew my eyes sideways. It was a man getting into the car next to mine. He was putting on a dark coat, tailored but not flashy; he had broad shoulders, and his movements were unhurried. I thought he was just a stranger in the parking lot until he looked up.Immediately, our eyes met my breath froze.It was him.The man from that night, the one I’d sworn to forget. Adrian.He froze too, his hand still on his car door handle, his expression shifting from surprise to something much warmer. I couldn’t move, my heart pounding against my chest like it wanted nothing more than to escape, like it didn’t belong inside me
