Chapter 1 ~ Ruined Surprise

ANAYA“We've arrived, Mrs. Whitmore!” Anton announced as he parked the car near the entrance of the VIP section. “Thank you!” I smiled as I waited in the back seat of our car. My husband went on a work trip for two weeks, and I wanted to surprise him. He didn't even know I knew he would return today; it was all thanks to my nosy self that I managed to get his flight schedule. Three years married to Nash, and my heart still skipped a beat at the thought of him. Yes, he was cold and distant, but he had always been like that with everyone, and I loved him.I pulled my window down and glanced toward the sliding doors where the VIP walked out from and began searching for him. My eyes continued to search until I spotted his tall and handsome figure, making a smile curve my lips and my eyes brighten in excitement. My husband was a perfect blend of two races, and he was incredibly handsome. His father was Chinese, and his mother was American. I was about to open the car door, but froze.

Chapter 2 ~ Provoked

ANAYAScreams and giggles woke me up earlier than usual. For a second, I thought I had left the TV on until the events from yesterday came crashing down on me like a nightmare.I groaned, rubbed my temples, and dragged myself out of bed. My body was still heavy from the sleepless night, and my chest was aching from the decision I had made. I brushed my teeth, tied my hair up, and walked downstairs only to stop dead in my tracks.My living room looked like a war zone.My favorite pillows were scattered, feathers floating like snowflakes in the air. Juice was spilled across the cream-white couch, dripping onto the rug. And at the center of the chaos was Adam, Hellen’s son, laughing as he ran in circles around Jessica, our housekeeper.“Adam, please! Be careful, you’ll knock over something!” Jessica begged, chasing after him, but he dodged her like it was a game.My heart dropped as his little hands reached for the porcelain vase on the side table. It was the only gift I ever got from N

Chapter 3 ~ Family of three

ANAYA “To be honest, Anaya,” Daisy leaned forward, her eyes shining with pride as she raised a cup of water as if toasting to me, “I’m proud of you. Finally! You’re actually thinking of divorce. About time you stopped letting that man walk all over you.”I forced a smile and clicked my glass against hers, even though inside, I was breaking into pieces.“Why do you look like you’ve lost instead of won?” she frowned, studying my face as her playful tone softened. “Talk to me. What happened, Ana? Why are you really divorcing?”I opened my mouth, but no words came out. My throat burned, tears threatening again. And then… fate decided to be cruel.The bell above the door chimed, and I watched Nash looking dashing in his dark suit, walk in with his hand protectively resting on the small of Hellen’s back. She looked like she belonged there, her son skipping at her side, while Nash held the door open for them like a perfect gentleman. All the years we've been together, Nash had never once

Chapter 4 ~ Must be nice

AYANAI later went back home only to find Jessica waiting for me. All three years we've been married, I was the one who cooked for Nash.We had helpers, but I chose to do it. From ironing his clothes all the way to preparing him for work and all his meals. When I had no shows, I'd even take him lunch at work with those little sticky notes on it. But all that did nothing to soften his heart. “Welcome home. Madam.” Jessica said, and I smiled at her,“Thank you. Is Nash home?” I asked, realizing that when I left the restaurant, they were nowhere in sight.“Not yet, ma'am.” She responded, and I laughed.Of course, he wasn't home. “Alright then,” I responded, and was about to head upstairs when she stopped me,“What will you cook for dinner so we can do the preparations?” Dinner?Ha!“I won't cook dinner tonight,” I announced and walked to my room!Hours passed, and Nash still wasn't back home. My heart ached, and I felt like a stranger in my own home. Not wanting to dwell so much on it

Chapter 5 ~ Your fault

ANAYA“I wasn't even asleep yet.” I sighed.Whenever she called or saw me, she would throw mean words at me. No matter what I did, my mother-in-law seemed to hate me more by the day. “Oh, you weren't?” She asked, the sarcasm rolling off her in waves, “Then why do you sound at peace? Haven't you seen the news?” “What news?” My heart skipped a beat.“Do you live under a rock!? Check your phone and be here first thing tomorrow morning!” She practically yelled in my ear and hung up. I stared at the phone, her words echoing in my head as I unlocked my screen, dreading what I might find.A hand flew to my mouth as the scene unfolded before me. In bold letters, was the headline that read:[ Business Tycoon Nash Whitmore seen kissing a mysterious woman. Is his marriage on the rocks?]My vision blurred as I scrolled through dozens of pictures where Nash was kissing Hellen and others where he was holding her and smiling like she was his entire world. Of course, someone took pictures of how l

Chapter 6 ~ Safe

ISAAC“And here I thought you’d only return to the country for my funeral!” Nana rolled her eyes at me, her wrinkled hands folded neatly in her lap. Her sharp tongue hadn’t dulled with age.I looked at her lazily and leaned down to kiss her forehead. “I’m just here for business, Nana. Don’t flatter yourself.”She scoffed, swatting lightly at my arm. “Business, my foot. I'm no psychic but even I know why you're really here.”“Why don't you flatter me and tell me why I'm here then?” I taunted and she laughed, her eyes filled with mischief,“For business of course.” “And yet I was thinking old age was eating away your intelligence.” “Are you calling your grandmother dull? You little brat!” She sneered and I smirked before her eyes turned serious.But I didn't want to hear what she had to say, knowing exactly what it would be. I stood and buttoned up my jacket before kissing her hand. “See you tomorrow, Nana.”I straightened my coat, smoothed my fingers over the lapel as if the motion c

Chapter 7 ~ I want to go home

ISAAC“Sir. The doctor is here. Should I let him come in?” William asked, and I simply shook my head. Unable to speak for the fear of waking her up. My heart clenched painfully as I watched her shift restlessly, holding onto my shirt like it was her lifeline. A small smile slipped out of me as the moment reminded me of the day I found her at the orphanage. She was small, fragile, and full of fear. I had always wanted to have more siblings, but since my parents died before that could happen, I decided to adopt a sibling. I had searched and wasn't interested in picking any of the choices that were presented to me until my eyes fell on hers. I instantly felt a pull towards her. A strong feeling to keep her safe. From the time I took her till she grew up, she always held onto me, moving like my shadow, and I shielded her because of how precious she was to me. I built a fortress around her to keep her protected, not knowing she would walk out on her own. Her fingers clenched my shirt a

Chapter 8 ~ I want a divorce

ANAYA"Anaya! Sweetheart, where have you been? I was losing my mind and even called the police to start searching for you!” Nash said the moment I stepped into the Villa.I snorted. Losing my mind over me? He was probably too busy with his beloved Hellen to even notice I was missing. That thought brought back a painful reminder of how my brother and I fought every time we met. I hated that I worried him, and he had to take care of me all the time. That was why I said those things so he would know I could take care of myself.But he mentioned Nash's cheating scandal, I just wanted the ground to open and swallow me whole.“I even made your favorite breakfast!” Nash's voice pulled me back as he took my wrist and guided me to the kitchen.I would have pulled my hand away, but I was too tired to fight him.“Do you like it?” He asked as I saw the scene unfold before me.Different dishes were on the table, from pasta to all kinds of sea food and meats. I looked at the setting and turned to

Chapter 9 ~ My conditions

ANAYAThe sound of the front door opening jolted me from my haze. Hours had passed since Nash ran out of the door, and I didn't hear a word from him. I laughed to myself at the realization that when it came to Hellen, it didn't matter if I were missing or was filing for divorce. As long as he had her, he was content. I watched as Nash walked with his arm around Hellen while he lifted Adam in his arms like a perfect family, and I was the outcast. The third wheel and the home wrecker. My heart clenched painfully, and even the saliva in my mouth tasted bitter . The moment Hellen’s gaze landed on me, her lips curved up in a sick smile. Her eyes were full of mischief like she was telling me she had won. I stood and was about to walk out when the small boy ran towards me and blocked my way. He smiled as he took my hand and bit me like an animal. “Ah!” I pushed him away, but he exaggerated the fall and cried out.“Aunty, I know you don't like me. I'm sorry for disturbing you by greeting y
