Chapter 1 Cheating Husband

The dot stopped at Hotel Streamside. I told the driver to speed up, and before I even got close, the explosion of confetti thundered in my ears.I approached the scene. The whole place was raining confetti, and it blurred the guests' faces. A pair of waiters were pushing a cake that was taller than an adult toward the center of the party."Happy birthday, honey! Here's to our fifth anniversary!"My heart sank. I knew that voice. Salazar Solomon's. My husband's. And he was calling the woman in his arms his wife.Fifth anniversary. That was supposed to be us! And then the confetti finished raining. I saw the face of the woman he was holding. My breath hitched. Yvonne Riverstein, the daughter of my family's nanny. What was she doing here?The crowd was eager to please them."I've been hearing stories about your wife, Mr. Solomon. You love her a lot, they say. And she's the heiress of the Sheffields? My, she certainly looks the part.""Yeah, childhood friends, too. You guys are made

Chapter 2 Crash the Party

"What the hell are you doing, Tamara Sheffield?" Salazar snapped out of his reverie and wiped the wine off his face. He was shivering with rage. His face was crimson with anger, but his eyes were darting in every direction, trying to hide his guilt.Before I could keep up my interrogation, the top lawyer from Great Law Firm was already stoking everyone's anger. "I can't believe the guards let just anyone in! Hey, you, this gathering's for top lawyers only! You can't just barge in here claiming you're Mr. Solomon's wife and call him a cheater! That is slander! Apologize right now!"The small-time lawyers played along."This isn't the place to throw your tantrum! This land is ruled by law, and the courthouse will deal with your lot!""Maybe Mr. Solomon's kind enough to let it slide, but we won't! We are agents of justice!"That was amusing. I laughed and turned my eyes to Salazar. "So, you're going to take me to court? Please, Salazar. The fact that you're living with another woman

Chapter 3 Indignant Wife

Yvonne went red as a cooked crab.I was going to keep exposing her past, but then someone shoved me down to the ground from the back.I crashed my head against the corner of a table before I fell, and something warm trickled down my face. Blood. The pain was making my head spin, and I closed my eyes.When my eyes snapped open, the first thing they saw was a finely dressed woman smashing a piece of cake into my face. "That is hogwash! Yvonne is of noble stock, but you are not! Your blood is filthy! You think a peasant like you deserves Mr. Solomon?"Yvonne was gloating. "She's right. I got the firm a deal worth 4.5 million dollars in a month. A nanny's spawn can never get that kind of achievement. I have a PhD in law from Bullings University."Yeah, identity theft. They did it through and through."Yeah. Know your place, nanny! Stay away from your master!""Yvonne, you can't let her stay! God knows what she might do! She's already trying to steal your identity!""If she loves th

Chapter 4 The Counterattack Begins

"You're off your rocker, Tamara. Do you really think you're an actual heiress just because you pretend to be? Divorce? Please, Yvonne's my one and only wife."Salazar was clenching his teeth. The man was stuck in a sticky situation, and he had to lie his way out of this.I crossed my arms and watched the circus show unfold. The people around me were changing their opinions, and they showed respect for me.Though they were whispering, their voices were loud enough to pierce through the silence."Tamara's a Sheffield. Maybe Yvonne's the real mistress here.""And if the stories are true, the Sheffield heiress lives a very low-profile life. Yvonne, though, wears designer goods from head to toe. It's like she's overcompensating for something."Yvonne noticed the discussion, and that wiped the smile off her face immediately. She was glaring at me now. "Tamara, I have a PhD in law from Bullings University, while you don't even have a high school diploma. How dare you insult me! I'll cal

Chapter 5 Punishment

The guy let me go right away and put on the mask of a gentleman. The announcement shocked the others as well, and they nervously straightened themselves out. Some were tidying their hair, while others were smoothing out their clothes.A smile curled my lips, and I wiped my tears away. My grandfather was here. It was time to destroy Salazar and that woman who had the audacity to steal my identity.The Solomons would fall, and their lackeys would be exiled from Streamside.I watched my grandfather stroll into the hall, and I dusted myself off, ready to meet him. But the crowd shoved me away as they seized the chance to say hi to my grandfather.Yvonne sneered. "You're nothing but an inferior species. Your existence alone insults Mr. Sheffield."Salazar mocked, "You're the one who said you're his granddaughter. He's right here now. Go on, don't hide behind the crowd.""Out of my way." I pushed Salazar away.My grandfather was looking around for me. Worried, he raised his voice. "Ta

Chapter 6 Exile

"From now on, the legal world does not welcome Salazar Solomon. And his family shall fall with him."My grandfather nodded. He had nothing but love for me. "I knew you wouldn't let these scum push you around." He then turned to his men. "You heard my granddaughter. Rid this city of the Solomons. You have twenty-four hours."It was Salazar's turn to go down on his knees. He too turned white as a ghost, and he tugged on the hem of my dress. "Tamara, please, forgive me."His tears were spilling out of his eyes, and he put his head against my shoes. "Please, spare my family. You're my wife. You're family too. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, really!"His hands were trembling, and his voice was cracking. "I had no idea what I was doing. I… I was just confused. I'll never see Yvonne again, I swear. Please, let's just go home. Please, Tamara…"I sneered again. "Too late."The crowd was in an uproar, and they changed sides again."I knew you were great the moment I saw you, Ms. Sheffield. You d

Chapter 7 Crushed

"Tammy…" Salazar's voice was shattering.I did not say a word. My grandfather gave his men a look, and a group of burly ones grabbed Salazar and threw him out as if he were some common trash."Let's go home, Tammy. I'll handle the divorce for you. Just get some rest. You need it."…I returned to my old life. A life of opulence and luxury. My days were either spent in bed, munching through my snacks, or with my friends, enjoying coffee and good food.Eventually, after one exhausting session, I started doomscrolling. The Solomons' scandals were taking over all the news outlets.'The falling out between Streamside's richest and the Solomons ruined the erstwhile blueblood. A city in shock over news of the Solomons' bankruptcy!''An earthquake in the legal world follows Salazar Solomon's bigamy allegations. His credibility, along with his morality, are now in question!''Tamara Sheffield, wife of Salazar, has publicly accused her husband of an extramarital affair and the siphoning

Chapter 8 Fake Friends

At the same time, the friends who supported Salazar just a day ago huddled around us. They saw Salazar as their leader both at work and outside of work.Now, no trace of that respect remained. They only had mockery left for him. Some felt glad that he was now down on his luck, and some wanted to cut off all ties with him as fast as they could.One of them sighed. "Mr. Solomon, we knew you'd made a wrong decision a while ago."I was half expecting the guy to add, "I told you so." It was such a cliched line."If you'd treated Ms. Sheffield right, none of this would've happened. Now you don't even have a foothold in this city."Then, his best friend spoke, though his ridicule was sharper than most. "You made a living off Ms. Sheffield, and you betrayed her. What'd you expect? Of course, you lost your livelihood."He stopped for a moment and turned his eyes to me. Now, his voice was filled with respect. "We've always had nothing but respect for you, Ms. Sheffield, but we had to keep

Chapter 9 A New Future

I hadn't seen Salazar or Yvonne since then. The city had forgotten about them, erased their existence from its map entirely. They'd disappeared from our lives. Even when someone brought them up, they were little more than jokes.Then one day, while I was having coffee with my friends, they brought those two up again."So, is it true? Salazar's setting up a legal consultancy stall in some backwater county?"Another of my friends laughed. "Yeah, a famous lawyer, drafting up divorce agreements at a farmer's market!""And what about Yvonne? Thought she was a Bullings' PhD holder? What's she up to?""Up to? Nowhere. She only made it big thanks to Ms. Sheffield. No one's backing her now, so she's ruined."I was seated right in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. My friends kept talking, and I kept swirling my coffee."My, oh, my." Sheila shook her head. "He used to be glorious. Now, not a single firm has the guts to hire him.""It's not about guts. They just can't do it. One word f
