91. Soraya🍒 It was a Saturday morning when I decided to indulge in a bit of therapy shopping. Not even an hour in, I saw them through the glass doors, strutting inside like they owned the place. Jasmine and Joy are walking hand in hand like sisters. I pretended they didn’t exist. My fingers slid through silk and cotton, lingering as if the racks held something far more fascinating than the tension crawling up my spine. A soft laugh floated behind me, too loud. “Look who it is,” one of them said. “It’s the rejected,” the other answered. I stiffened but didn’t turn. I’d learned long ago that acknowledgment was precisely what they fed on. My jaw tightened. Enemies becoming allies wasn’t new; it was almost predictable. Misery loved company, and jealousy always needed an audience. I continued flipping through sleek silk and cotton dresses as if they were the most breathtaking things in the world. I should’ve known ignoring them wouldn’t be enough. They stepped directly in fr

93. Soraya🍒 I hated the fact that I’d let a few stolen moments with Thane cloud my judgment. The rest of the morning passed quickly, yet every so often my fingers drifted to my lips, still tingling from the kiss we’d shared outside the building. That single moment ruled my thoughts, dragging my mind back to the day before, to how things used to be before that woman planted doubt in our marriage. When it was finally time to go home, I found myself nearly skipping through the building, my steps light until I reached the street. All the while, I told myself I didn’t want to see him again. Still, when I spotted his car across the street, my heart skipped despite my resolve. Then the driver stepped out instead. Disappointment hit harder than I expected. “Mr. Kline had a meeting. He sent me to pick you up,” Erik said. I slid into the backseat, the weight of my disappointment settling in beside me. “Whatever,” I muttered. It wasn’t like I’d been hoping to see him. All lies. Every

95. Soraya🍒 “Let's be honest, Thane had no choice but to marry you because you seduced him, which is why he signed those divorce papers so fast.” Jasmine sat across from me at the table and started to dig into my ice cream with her fork as if she belonged. I watch her for a second, giving myself a chance to come up with a reason as to why she found it was okay to bother on a night like this, since my date two dates ago, I've been doing nothing but thinking about the man that I refused to look for, now here she is bringing him up. “ Is there a reason as to why you are here?” I ask her, besides being annoyed by me. Putting her fork down, she sighs, “Honestly, what else do you want me to do to get you out of his life?” “ Pay me, that would be a start,” I say in a nonchalant voice. I didn't think she would take me seriously until she pulled out her checkbook and wrote a three-million-dollar check, slid it across the table towards me. I stare at the piece of paper. “ Sure, this

97. Soraya🍒 Frustration tore at me as I stared down at the design in front of me. Every line I drew felt wrong, too sharp, too soft, too something. My head wasn’t in the right place. No matter how hard I tried to focus, all I could think about was Thane and whether I should let him come back home. I wanted to rip the paper to shreds. God, I wanted to. So why did it feel like something was holding me back? I threw the pen across the table and pushed to my feet, running my hands through my hair. My phone was already in my hand before I realized it. My finger hovered over his name, suspended between calling, texting, or doing nothing at all. I exhaled sharply and locked the screen. Grabbing my keys, I decided to escape before I drove myself insane. My favorite store, “Mood,” usually helped clear my head. Fabric always did what people couldn’t; hopefully, today, they could pull out of this funk I was in. I’d been there for about twenty minutes, my cart already overflowing with f

99. Soraya🍒 This morning is a special morning, not only because I got to wake up next to Thane but because Jasper keep playing with me and bothering me and I'm tired of talking I did too much of it and it got me nowhere, today is the day that I show them I'm not one to bully, I'm done talking now everything I do as consequences, anyone that come at me the wrong will pay. His mother on the other hand will never see the light of the day not after I'm done with her, my assistant and I have been collecting all of the accounts that she as on my name, all the money that she launder with my name, evidence of forge signature, and send them to the cops.That should keep them busy long enough, I hope. Originally, the plan wasn't gonna this way but after the stunt that they tried to pull I change my mind now, the day has arrived, after months of careful planning, calculated risks, and sleepless nights. I had help him build the company spent days and nights getting him clients, and introduc
