It took only a few days for Pages of Claire to get back to Rina with her first shoot scheduled in Hong Kong. She returned to the cottage during that period to pick up a few stuff and grab a traveling bag, returning to the cottage for her final packing before getting ready for her trip. That morning, she stood before her mirror in the closet, very giddy about what the next week would offer her. The whole country was still talking about her modeling for Claire, the street was abuzz with differing opinions. Rina’s name popped up as hashtags on Twitter and Instagram, and conversations were being held virtually about the truth and what they thought it was.

Still, Rina didn’t forget Kayla and what she could do. It was the reason she sent Regina a message with details about her first task. While she was away, she needed someone to monitor Kayla’s every move, including the things she said about her at Scottsdale. But because Rina knew how skillful Kayla was in putting up a fake persona, she w

    The instant the private jet touched down, Rina was soaked into a world that she was fairly used to, but at the same time, was totally new to her. Hong Kong was a beautiful country to be in, but she barely had the time to go sightseeing as members of staff from Pages of Claire were at the private airport to welcome her. There were five of them, dressed so stylishly that Rina felt she had stepped into a fashion show. The grins on their faces were pleasant and genuine, and at once, she felt at ease, attempting a smile of her own despite her jitters.Her suitcase was taken off her hands and they ushered her into a limousine that smelt of brand-new leather. There was a bottle of white wine in a bucket of ice along with a wine glass and a note from Claire. She wanted Rina to know that she was out of Hong Kong for a quick interview that day but would be back late at night. Giddy with excitement, she helped herself to the wine, pouring half a glass and bringing the rim to her lips.Spontaneou

  • A Broken Ex Wife's Revenge    What Observation

    Hong Kong was stunning at night, with the lights of the city creating such an ethereal look through the roofs of the buildings. Rina stood by the window with a glass of wine in one hand, gazing at every corner. Her eyes shone brightly and a zap of energy passed through her. Despite the fact that she’d just been on a trip, she felt the need to do something rather than gaze at the city. She hadn’t heard from Zayn since the last time they spoke and it bothered her. Even though Rina knew he was fine, and probably swamped with work, she still found her eyes straying to her phone on the table, expecting the familiar sound of her message to come in.But the silence of the room was still in its holistic state and Rina felt she was going to go insane. Her feet moved away from the window and she walked into her room to change out of her nightwear, putting on a black baggy jean made by the Pages of Claire, a pair of dark boots, and a plain white t-shirt. Grabbing her phone from the table, she sa

    She walked back to the hotel after her encounter with the stranger, calling it a night. But the night was far from over for her as she sauntered into the lobby, her eyes taking in the men dressed in dark suits, placed at strategic points. She angled her head at the sight, wondering what they were doing there past midnight. Explaining it as a high personality booking in for the night, she moved into the elevator and got out on the last floor, fatigue already eating away at her.Rina’s feet halted abruptly when her eyes narrowed in on the small crowd in front of her room. There were worried faces amongst them, with shuffling legs, as if searching for something. She slowed down her steps, just in case some crazy anti-fan had traced her to the hotel. But in a second, the small crowd parted to reveal one of the most stunning and fierce women in existence. Rina’s eyes widened as she took in the sophisticated look of Claire McGregor.Even though she had earlier mentioned that she was out of

    Rina was out of the hotel before 9:30 am, a record time considering her usual routine. She had ditched the bathtub and opted for the shower instead, using no makeup and putting her hair up in a messy bun, since she was going to have to do all of that when it was time for the shoot. Since her contract specified that she could only be dressed in Pages of Claire’s outfits for the one year of its existence, she went for something casual from one of their lines, white joggers and a matching tank top, with Converse and a tote bag.The person Claire sent to get over, a young man no older than his middle-thirties with hair that looked like it just came out of the salon, piercing green eyes, and a day-old stubble seemingly intentionally left out, walked her to the limousine that had brought her the previous day, getting the door open for her. He waited for her to get in before walking around and sitting behind the wheel.The visor between them was lowered, and he started the car but didn’t pul

    “I’m sorry I’m late,” Rina blurted as Claire took her seat at the head of the glass conference table. It looked like they had all been waiting for her, and Rina hated to think that she had kept them there for almost an hour when they could have been doing something else with their time.“Right.” She looked at the person who had spoken, his eyes unwavering as he glared at Rina, not bothering to hide his distaste.“Can you not do that, Anthony? You have been late more times than I can count, and while we do not exactly condone tardiness, we do not clamp down on people the way you just did. Rina Power is going to be working with us for a year, and even though she will not have direct contact with you after today unless there is an issue with the contract, kindly regard her with the respect she deserves. She had worked her ass out to get to where she is today and I will not you talk down on her, no matter what you heard. Are we clear on that?”“My apologies,” Anthony muttered, his red hai

    Rina was in the studio all day, trying out different outfits and mood boards for the fashion house. It was more fun than work because the designers were so nice to her. They kept complimenting her skin and body figure, chatting away at how much life she would bring to their pieces. She basked in the glow of their words, even allowing herself the freedom to laugh, to forget all about the hell she’d had to go through to get to that point.The director of designs, Nico, made her feel at home, giving her little stories about how the outfits were made, the troubles encountered mid-design, and the humorous ways they had gotten out of it. Rina was the only model in the studio at first, so the lights of the cameras were focused on her, flashing away at the first line she wore. It was called soothe, and was meant to be released during spring. Rina understood the concept behind the outfit, as they made her feel confident and in touch with her feminine part.When it was mid-day, the team went on

    Rina remembered him from the previous night when he’d offered to take a picture of her. Without the cloak of the night hovering behind him, he looked taller than she remembered, with his hair tousled, like he had just rolled out of bed. He directed a lazy smile her way, and pulled his gaze off her, saying something to the director of media. But at intervals, his eyes found hers again, as if searching into her.She had to change the dress she had on into the last one for the day. It was a part of the denim line and the shoot was meant to be done with the rest of the models – a single shot for each of them and then a group shoot. She got handed the denim and the bodysuit that was to be paired with it, but before she could walk back behind the screen, the man from the previous night approached her. He was still in the same pair of pants he’d had on the previous night, and Rina was tempted to ask if he had really rolled out of bed.“I was hoping for a more mind-blowing entrance but I had

    Exhaustion ate away at her as Rina made her way back to the hotel, accompanied by Michael. He went with her into the elevator and walked her to her door before turning away and heading back outside, not without reminding her for the umpteenth time that if she needed anything, all she had to do was send him a quick text and he would be at her door.“Thank you for today,” she called after him as he disappeared into the elevator, leaving her standing in the hallway alone.Grateful for the silence, Rina walked into the room and took off her joggers, tank top, and converses, preparing herself a warm bath in the tub. She soaked her skin while soft music played in the background, soothing her weary bones. Oddly, she missed the speakers and scented candles back in the villa. The scent of jasmine would have been clouding the bathroom at that moment, with the bass of the music echoing through the speakers and the bathroom thrown into dim lights.Even though it was only her second night in Hong

    EpilogueFive Months Later"With all the evidence presented before me, I have every reason to believe that Mr. Nathan Graham is guilty of a three-count murder charge, blackmail, money laundering, threats, and drug dealing," the judge declared.The courtroom was thick with tension. Every breath, every movement was weighed down by anticipation. Nathan sat stone-faced, but his eyes burned with malice as he glared at Rina, promising vengeance even from behind bars."I hereby sentence Mr. Nathan Graham to life imprisonment with hard labor."Gasps echoed through the room. Nathan clenched his fists as the reality of his fate sank in. His gaze flickered to his parents, searching for even a shred of sympathy. There was none. Instead, their stony expressions confirmed what he had failed to realize before—his parents had been backing Rina all along. The betrayal hit him harder than the sentence itself."I don’t think—""Counsel, please remove your client. Any further disruptions will only worsen

    Four Months LaterRina's routine had become predictable—home, hospital, repeat. She had no time for idle conversations or anything that didn’t offer practical solutions.In the midst of everything, she and Mrs Graham had developed an unspoken understanding, rotating their hospital visits so they could each get some rest. Despite their initial differences, the situation had bonded them.That evening, Rina glanced at the time on her phone. She should already be home preparing dinner. Cooking had become her form of therapy—a temporary escape from the overwhelming reality she faced. Besides, her pregnancy cravings were relentless, and hunger gnawed at her stomach every now and then.Her phone rang again, and she already knew who it was."Rina, I know you're about to start cooking up a storm," her mother-in-law's warm but concerned voice came through. "Why don't you take a break? Zayn wouldn't want you overexerting yourself."Rina smiled slightly, though fatigue weighed on her bones. She a

    "Rina, I think you need to pick up the phone.”Rina barely acknowledged the George’s words, lazily reaching for her ringing phone at the edge of the bed. She sighed, half-expecting it to be Nathan again.“Yes?” she answered, her voice sharp with irritation.“This is the Central Hospital. Am I speaking with Miss Rina?” a formal yet urgent voice asked.Her brows furrowed. “Yes, this is Rina.”“Mr. Zayn Graham has been involved in an accident, and we require your immediate presence before proceeding with a blood transfusion and other treatments. Can you come?”The words hit her like a freight train.Rina’s breath caught in her throat. Zayn.Never had she imagined she’d find herself in this situation—standing on the precipice of something irreversible.“I’ll be there immediately,” she said, her voice shaking.She grabbed the first set of clothes she could find and rushed out of the house, her heart pounding with dread.She arrived at the hospital in record time, barely aware of how she go

    Zayn watched as Rina packed her belongings with sharp, deliberate movements. Her scowl was the only warning he needed—she wasn’t in the mood to listen. He wanted to tell her the truth, to explain everything, but he knew it wouldn’t matter right now.Instead, he pulled out his phone and dialed Igor If she wanted to leave, he wasn’t going to stop her—not like this.“Take her home safely,” he instructed, his voice void of emotion.Rina clenched her fists. He wasn’t even going to fight for her. That hurt more than the betrayal itself.She had wasted her time on him. She should have known he was like every other man.A few hours later, she was back to her cottage sitting in silence. The worst part? He hadn’t even tried to defend himself. He had just… let her go. That made it worse—worse than the rumors, worse than Nathan’s revelations, worse than the pictures she had seen online.Nathan, at least, was there to fill in the blanks. He was the only one who seemed to care enough to tell her wh

    Despite the man’s confession reversing his previous statement, a significant portion of Kayla’s fans and other netizens refused to believe him. The sudden shift in his stance made them skeptical.“How does a man go from accusing Rina to suddenly defending her in 24 hours?”o9“She probably paid him off. The timing is too suspicious.”“Rina has finally bought her way out of this.

    George stared at his phone for a moment, then sighed. He knew better than to question Zayn Graham’s methods. The man was always ten steps ahead of everyone else, and if he said he’d handle it, then the situation was about to take a dramatic turn.Sliding his phone back into his pocket, he turned to Rina. She was still staring at the screen, her face unreadable.“What was that about?” she asked, her voice calm but laced with suspicion.“Just a call I had to take,” George said smoothly, not daring to mention Zayn’s name. “Listen, Rina, I know things look bad right now, but we still have a shot at turning this around. We just need—”“We need proof,” Rina cut in, her gaze shifting to him, sharp and determined. “I don’t care about public opinion anymore. I want the truth out there. I want that man exposed, and I want Kayla to rot for what she’s done.”George hesitated. “Rina…”“No.” She stood, pushing back her chair. “I’ve played nice for too long.

    As George stepped out of the room, Rina glanced at the clock. It was nearly time for her planned livestream. She’d decided earlier that morning to address her fans directly, to try and regain control of the narrative.She sat in front of her ring light and adjusted her camera, her heart racing. For someone used to the spotlight, this felt different. This wasn’t a red carpet or a press event—this was her, raw and vulnerable, speaking directly to the people who had the power to either support her or tear her down.After a deep breath, she hit the “Go Live” button. Within seconds, thousands of viewers flooded in, the chat scrolling rapidly with a mix of messages:“We’re with you, Rina!”“Is it true what they’re saying?”“Why didn’t you address this sooner?”“Hi, everyone,” she began, her voice steady despite the storm raging inside her. “I know there’s been a lot said about me in the past few days.

    The mornings sun was up and lovely. Rina looked outside her bedroom, wondering how her life had become this way, especially after she had reminded herself of many reasons why she shouldn't get romantically involved with any man because of what she had faced in the past. But here she was contemplating how she was going to make the most of her relationship with Zayn. She couldn't deny the passion that she felt after kissing him and knew that lying to herself was useless at this point. If she could turn back the hands of time, she probably wouldn't have taken that offer, but now she had no choice but to live with it. Pretending that they had never kissed was the coward's way out which she didn't want to take. She prided herself on being an adult who could make her decisions and stick to them but right now she didn't think she fit that category because of every emotion she felt in the last few minutes. Something was wrong with her and it was her duty to find out.Tired of hiding inside
