Chapter 5REBECCA’S POVFelix's hand trembled as he picked up the divorce papers, his knuckles turning white."You're lying," he said through gritted teeth. "You're bluffing, Rebecca."I tilted my head, my expression calm."Why would I bluff?"Anna's hand tightened around Felix’s arm, her fake innocence slipping for just a second.She was scared.She knew that if I walked away, she’d be left with nothing but a man who was as useless as he was heartless.My smirk grew even wider as I stepped closer to him. "All these years, the reason Sterling Fashion House has thrived is because of my inheritance. Felix Sterling, you are nothing without me."Crack.The force sent me stumbling back. A sharp sting exploded across my cheek.My ears rang. The room spun.I tasted blood.Did he just slap me?Slowly, I turned back to him. Felix’s chest heaved, his eyes dark with rage.But behind it, there was something else.Fear.He was losing control. And he knew it.My lips curled. And before he could say

Chapter 4REBECCA'S POVWith a click, the call ended, and then my phone buzzed in my palm.My eyes lit up with a hint of excitement when I saw the message:"The divorce agreement is ready. You can come pick it up."I tucked my phone inside my purse and sighed. It's about time anyway.My eyes flickered to the card carefully tucked inside my bag. Instinctively, I squinted as I tilted it from side to side, realizing it was a business card.It was probably dropped off by that man—the one who somehow knew my identity. One I had tried my best to keep hidden, yet he knew.Deciding not to dwell too much on my past, I tucked the card back with the intention of checking it later.Sliding into my car, I turned on the engine, and in what felt like the speed of lightning, I was already at Langford Courthouse.The moment I swung the door open, Jessica jumped on me, wrapping her arms around my neck."God, I can’t even imagine what you must have been going through," she said softly.Her hands caresse

REBECCA'S POVI could hear the soft murmurs around us as everyone stared in shock. The tension between us was palpable; neither of us spoke, but the way our eyes locked in a fierce battle made it obvious that something was off.Finally, Felix snatched my hand, but instinctively, I flung his grip off my wrist.It wasn’t just because I was mad—it was because his touch, which once gave me comfort, now repelled me.“We need to talk. Rebecca, don’t you dare cause a scene and ruin things for Anna. Do you know how much she worked for this project?”Even in this moment, the only person on his mind was still Anna.I let out a slow, humorless laugh. Then, I stepped forward, my heels clicking against the floor. “Anna, Anna, Anna,” I snorted, poking his chest with each word that rolled off my tongue, not caring that everyone was watching.I was done.“Is she the only person you think about?”Anna clutch Felix arm tighter, her voice soft, almost trembling."Rebecca, I swear, I would never take y

REBECCA'S POV"Felix, I hope you don't regret this action," I snorted, rubbing my injury slightly as I took a deep breath.Felix took a step forward, but Anna clung to his arm. "Please, I don't want you and Rebecca to fight because of me.""Enjoy the meal I made. The sight of you makes me nauseous," I retorted calmly, and Anna bit her lip inwardly."Rebecca, you've gone too far—"I rolled my eyes at Felix’s words. With a spin, I turned on my heels. I had nothing left to say to him or anyone in the room. Tears threatened to spill as I pressed my lips together. As I walked towards the stairs, I heard their hushed whispers, accompanied by laughter. It stabbed deeper than any knife.Just as I reached the stairs, I heard Felix murmur to Anna, "Don't mind her. She just gets emotional over small things."*******The next morning, I was greeted by silence—just as it had been for a while. At least since Anna showed up.I flickered my eyes toward the other side of the bed, expecting to see Feli

REBECCA’S POVMy fingertips tugged against my palm, my chest tightened as my eyes locked on the three who walked in. Honestly, I didn’t know why it bothered me since it was such a regular sight these days.My husband, Felix Cross, strolled in casually with his sister-in-law, Anna.Will, our Five-year-old son, tagged along against Anna's side, their fingers intertwined. The sound of their laughter was like a taunt to my ears.Seeing me in the dining room, Will rushed up towards me. I gave a smile,my arms were still stretched towards him, frozen in midair, but will had already twirled back to Anna's side. The warmth I expected in my embrace never came. "Mommy, look what Aunty Anna bought me! It looks good on me, right?" He twirled even more, and that was when I noticed the new shirt he was wearing. "Isn’t it lovely? Miss Anna even bought one for Daddy. Isn’t she the perfect mommy?"Ironic isn't it? The child I nearly died bringing into this world now clung to another woman like she w
