Chapter 1

“You’re Home” I said to my husband who barely glanced at me as he took off his suit, he just headed for the stairs and of course I followed.Like the fool I was.“How was it Jason, was work stressful today?” I tried again but still no response. I shouldn’t be surprised, this wasn’t the first time, or even the second, or the third time he’d done this. We used to be a happy couple back when our parents had practically arranged our marriage.Our marriage had started off slow and boring but soon we had come to love each other, we couldn’t spend a day without calling, talking or touching each other. Jason suddenly became the love of my life, I had given myself to him. But things started to go sour when no child was coming, he didn’t say anything at first but he grew distant but soon enough he let me know; with large outbursts and yelling, even going as far to beat the crap out of me once for yelling back.I still loved him, maybe I would forever which was while I tried to make amends. I h

Chapter 2

I don’t know how long I lay there sobbing last night, even long after Jason had left the room and I heard his car driving off into the night. I had thought last night—with the dinner and all that he was starting to see reason and know not even knowing that he was cheating on meCheating on meI choked down a sob as I applied mascara to my face to cover all the bruises that Jason had inflicted with his whole hands, while I was disappointed I still couldn’t help but feel like this was my fault—why could I not give him children? Was it that hard? I couldn’t even call my parents and tell them what was going on because they are going to do anything to keep me married to Jason. After all, his family paid mine in millions who the hell was going to stop wanting to be benefiting like that. Well that left me with one person I could trust…….Rhea.Rhea was my best friend back in grade 4, and we have been best buddies ever since. We were practically inseparable, even now—she was the one I trusted

Chapter 3

My hands trembled as I stared at the photo, my vision blurring with tears. Jason’s arm was wrapped around Rhea’s waist, their lips pressed together in a kiss. The date scribbled in the corner was from just last week. She knew.Rhea knew everything. She knew how Jason treated me, how he hit me, how he blamed me for not giving him a child. and yet, she was with him. Laughing with him, loving him, fucking himThe glass of wine slipped from my fingers, shattering on the floor. “Vee?” Rhea’s voice came from behind me. I turned slowly, the photo clutched in my shaking hand. Her eyes darted to it, and for a second—just a second—I saw the guilt. Then it was gone, and in its place, cold indifference. “How long?” My voice was barely a whisper. She sighed, rolling her eyes like I was some annoying child. “Does it matter?” “YES, IT FUCKING MATTERS!” I screamed, throwing the photo at her. “You’re my best friend! You were supposed to—!” “Supposed to what?” she cut in, crossing her arms.

Chapter 4

The bar was dark or maybe it was just my eyes being puffy from crying. I had to make sure Roberts didn’t follow me because he had insisted that the bar was too rough and dangerous for someone of my status—I knew he meant to say personality.Well I didn’t care anymore.If my husband and best friend could join forces and betray me, why should I care? I sauntered over to the bartender and flashed a smile.“Vodka please” I said and he stared at me, tilting his head to the side.“You alright miss?” He said in a British accent and I rolled my eyes.“Give me the damn drink” I snapped, and he nodded and pulled out a glass and vodka bottle. I grabbed the bottle and the glass.“I’ll pay for the bottle, be ready to give me more if I ask” I said and he stared at me in surprise. I guess it wasn’t everyday he got a female customer in an expensive dress demanding for a drink like a sailor.Not that I care……at least not now.I headed over to a dark corner and settled down. A lot of interested eyes fo

Chapter 5

The harsh sunlight of the morning must have been the reason I woke. The first thing I noticed was that the bedroom I was in was unfamiliar, the bedroom was quite spacious and well furnished.My head pounded and I barely could remember what happened from the night before and wait why was I in a strange bed and a strange house. Why was I here? Where is Jas……I choked down a sob, the memory came flooding back and suddenly the tears I was trying so hard to hold came flooding out. I didn’t deserve, I never even wanted to be married in the first place. I did and I fell in love with a man who played me and even go ahead to be cheating on me with my best friend.I must have sobbed for maybe a full twenty minutes before I realized that Jason wasn’t worth crying for. Maybe it was also my fault, if only I was only to give him kids.“You done?” came that vaguely familiar voice and I whirled around to find that man from yesterday staring at me. His presence suddenly made the room feel like it was

Chapter 6

Veronica’s POV My jaw dropped so loud, lining my lips together felt almost impossible.“I'm pregnant?” I stood staring at the pregnancy test kit for more than five minutes.“Wait… Am I really pregnant? Ho—”I caught sight of my reflection in the bathroom mirror. My face was swollen red, my eyes watered and my nostrils looked like… Pipelines?“I'm really pregnant.” My hands went to my underbelly, and I could feel the warmth already spreading to my palms.This was… this was a miracle!“Oh my goodness!” I gasped when the news had settled in me. After so long, I was finally going to have a child.A knock outside the door distracted me. “Are you alright, in there?” Four’s voice rumbled through the walls, “Do you need some help?”“No!” I blurted out quickly. “Don't come in either.”“Alright.”I grabbed the side of my dress and adjusted it, my panties and underwear were next.A sleek push-up and I was back to being decent. I grabbed my hair in a loose messy bun, a quick check on my face m

Chapter 7

Veronica’s POV “Jay… I thought you said you kicked her out!” Rhea peeled off my man, he stretched his hand over her neck and forced her to lean into him again but Rhea pushed again, aggressively this time as she struggled to get off him.I entered the house now, stood behind the couch in the living room with the flowers on the floor beside my foot, tears welling down my cheeks.Jason said nothing to me yet. Rhea didn't give a flying shit if I'd just caught her. She found her way to the steps and then started running up, to the very room I had my matrimonial bed in.A woman with dignity should have left but me?Not quite.A part of me still felt I could redeem this marriage. What I had just seen was not betraying enough.Like Jason needed to insult me more before I'd realised just how terribly he had fallen out of love with me.And he did..“Jason!” I yelled, my voice cracked as I called. “Jason! Come back here! I just caught you— I just caught you cheating and you're walking out on

Chapter 8

Veronica's POV. If sobbing had an Olympic season I should have won.Or maybe the worst face of the century.Or something better. How about, ‘Give it up for the woman whose husband dumped her for her bestfriend and she still bought him flowers?”‘Oh goodness!’ I gasped for breath with more tears stringing down my eyes.How could he?!How could Jason do that?!After everything….I sobbed so much, my eyes started to burn, my tear ducts dried and my head ached.‘Goddamit!” I cursed many times, still didn't take away the fact that I’d been dumped for my best friend.The tissue roll emptied after my tenth drag. If I continued this way, I was sure I'd lose a lot more than my marriage.I wiped my eyes with the back of my palm when my phone jarred to life.I leaned over the counter to check and noticed my accountant was calling.“Mrs Veronica Harper..”“Yes?” I sniffled. “This is she. What's happening? You're calling this late, did something happen to my account?”“I'm sorry if I'm disturbing

Chapter 9

Veronica's POV.Everything was taken from me, Jason made sure of it. He took the cars, the house in my name and even the deeds to the fashion house he promised me.For Jason, everything between us was over and his shiny new toy was his focus.He forgot everything about us. The good memories went down the drain, the bad were his foundation. When the divorce lawyer came to finalise the annulment, she asked if there was something I did to him.“I've never seen Mr Jason that mad at someone before. He was bitter when he signed his part of the annulment and kept swearing at the slightest mention of your name.”I pressed my lips hard and only nodded or shook my head to every question she asked. I had a feeling that if I said a word, I could end up bawling again.“Is something wrong with you?” I shook my head gently.“Are you sure?”Another mod.“Well, I might be a lawyer but if you need someone to talk to, I'm always here.” Amelia, our family lawyer— or would I say ex-family lawyer, said.

Chapter 10

Veronica's POV.“Hi. Four. I need your help.”I heard him clear his throat. Four.The name didn't sound so weird anymore. “Four, are you there?”“Wh—who, I'm sorry but who exactly am I talking to?”“It's me! It's me, Veronica! The girl from the bar. I brought you home! Oh my goodness, don't be like this, I need you right now. I really need your help, please don't act like a stranger.”“Oh…” his voice cleared with recognition. “I remember you. Vee. The girl who kept saying Jason in her dreams.”I wish I hadn't said that in front of him.Weird way to be remembered by a one-night fling, isn't it?“Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you can say that, I don't care, now is not the time.”“Oh.” He slurred, “When then?”“When I'm safe.”“Safe from what?”“From….’ the knock on the door came again, the paparazzi was getting aggressive, I whimpered loudly. “Some men are at my door and they're trying to get in.”“Men? What men?”“They… My husband… I can't … don't… just…” she sighed. “Please, could you just come?
