Monique's Pov After waiting for almost three days, I finally received a call from the jeweler, informing me that he was done remaking my mother's bracelet and that I could come and pick it up whenever I had time. Of course, as soon as he told me that he was done, I informed Gavin that I would be going back to the market, and Gavin decided to come with me, even though I already knew that going to the market wasn't his favorite thing to do. I had told him that he didn't have to come with me, and I would just pick up the bracelet and head back to the hotel so we could go somewhere else, but he insisted on coming with me, even going as far as saying that he didn't want to leave his beautiful wife by herself in the streets of Santorini, so some other man wouldn't come anywhere near me. Ridiculous, right? I didn't bother again with him since he insisted on coming, and now we were at the market, getting closer to the handmade jewelry shop. "Do you remember exactly where the shop was
THIRD PERSON POV“Are you serious?” Monique asked Gavin for the umpteenth time, finally putting her phone aside and giving him the attention that he wanted.“Yes. I want to make memories with you before we leave. You are my wife and even if it’s on paper we have to enjoy the moment, so get up, get dressed, and let’s go. I already reserved a table for us,” Gavin answered.Monique sighed. “Why do I feel you have something up in your sleeve?”“I want to take you out for dinner and it’s suddenly suspicious?” He curled his lips to the side. “Now get up and go get dressed. We only have this night to sleep here. We are leaving tomorrow night and I want to make it special for the both of us,” he urged her to get up from where she sat.“Alright,” Monique said standing up to her feet to go get dressed. “Will you turn around so I can get rid of my clothes and wear something else?” She asked.“It’s not like I haven’t seen you naked before?” He replied and she scoffed.“But I’m going to still tu
THIRD PERSON POVWhitney's head hurts. She called for her maid Kennedy to come to massage her head. While her maid Kennedy massaged her head, she closed her eyes, feeling relieved.She was yet to get any information from Mr Mark. She didn’t want to call him although she felt urges a lot of time to call and scold him as to why he was delaying it all.She has been trying not to think too much about the situation but she cannot help it. “Who is that man in the living room waiting for you?” The husky voice of Cole got attention to Whitney she opened her eyes to see him standing beside her with a frown on his face.“You are back,” she said, tapping lightly on Kennedy to leave so she could have some privacy with Cole.“What man are you talking about?” Her brows rose in a questioning manner.“The man in a suit? He said he’s here to see you so how do you don’t know him? Or aren’t you expecting anyone?” He remarked.It then dawned on Whitney that it could be Mr Mark but why didn’t he call her
Third-person Pov Monique's heart was fluttering too much, and she didn't like it. It wasn't as though she hated the fact that her heart was feeling fuzzy after so long, but she knew what it meant for her heart to start feeling this way, and she feared the consequences. The last thing she wanted was for her to become heavily attached and emotionally dependent on Gavin, only for the same thing that happened with Cole to happen again. A voice at the back of her head kept telling her that Gavin was nothing like Cole and that there was no way he would betray her with her former best friend like Cole did, but she knew how unlucky she was in life, and she didn't want to delude herself into thinking that she had finally met someone who would be for her and only her. While she was lost in her thoughts, she wouldn't realize it when Gavin walked back into the room. He had stepped out of the room a while back to speak to someone over the phone, and when he got back, he noticed that Monique
Third-person Pov Monique stared at her phone screen, shaking her head in amusement as she read through the articles about her and Gavin. It wasn't until she started reading the articles and taking a look at the pictures that she remembered that there had been rumors about her before they left LA and that the paparazzi must have followed them all the way to Greece. She kept seeing pictures of herself and Gavin from a few days ago, and she found it rather interesting how she and Gavin couldn't even have privacy during their own honeymoon. Even though she was a little irritated by the situation, she was still a little bit relieved that, at least now, the rumors that had surrounded her would have been reduced to a certain extent, and she wouldn't have to deal with everyone staring at her with judgmental eyes. "Hey, sweetheart," Gavin said as he entered the room. "Hi," Monique responded. "Is the plane ready? Can we fly out today?" she asked immediately. Today was supposed to be
THIRD PERSON POV“Don’t get started now, Whitney. I don’t have the time for this,” Cole said to Whitney who had just barged into his office demanding that he take her car without informing her.Whitney scoffed in disbelief. “What do you mean by that? Are you for real? You took my car to work without telling me and you don’t seem worthy to give me an explanation as to why you took it?”“As you can see I have work, don’t make me more pissed than I already am,” he warned firmly.Lately, he has been thinking deeply concerning his marriage to Whitney and how much of a mistake he made by getting married to her. He thought she was better than Monique and had so much to offer but it was only after he married her that he realized that she had nothing to offer.At first, it was going well but the moment he found out that Monique had remarried and got married to someone like Gavin Jones, he had been pissed and angry with himself that he can barely tolerate her presence anymore.“You are unbeliev
THIRD PERSON POV Whitney was bewildered by Cole's attitude towards her and even worse angry at herself. He even threatened to call the guards on her. “You will pay for this Cole,” she said, staring at the company building one more time before leaving to get a taxi. She didn’t plan on going home. Her source had informed her that Monique returned from Santorini two days ago but Gavin wasn’t seen with her. They called to inform her earlier today that Gavin would be arriving today hence the reason she was set to go out to create a coincidental meet with him only to discover that her car was gone. She still cannot believe that he sold his car. He was getting worse and worse, she mentally scoffed before hailing a taxi. “To the airport please,” she said to the taxi driver. Now that Cole is useless, she has to by all means make sure that she gets Gavin. She cannot disappoint because she knows the consequences are severe. She decides to call Mr Mark on the phone as she had him keep tra
Monique's Pov After spending two days in the house without Gavin, he was finally supposed to be arriving today, and I had expected him to come straight home from the airport, but surprisingly, he wasn't home yet. I knew he was back already because the media had already reported his return, and just like they had been speculating in the last two days, most of the articles didn't stop blabbing about how something might have gone wrong between myself and Gavin during our honeymoon, which would explain why we came back to the country separately. I was less concerned about the rumors surrounding why we came separately, but I was more bothered by the fact that Gavin hadn't bothered to call me to inform me that he was back in the country. I was curious to know if I was right about Whitney and if she had really created a coincidental meeting with him at the airport. And if what I thought turned out to be true, then there was a possibility that you could be spending time together righ
Third-person Pov “Con artist Jennifer Cabello has finally been caught after years of escaping the authorities. She has a record of drugging, manipulating, and stealing from men, as well as marrying them, and faking abuse in order to get divorce settlements. She was also discovered to be the murderer of her foster father, Robin Owen, as well as being involved in a drug-related business,” the newscaster went on, and Monique watched with a satisfied smile on her face. It's been a few days since Whitney was arrested, and as soon as she heard the news of her arrest, she hasn't stopped smiling. She couldn't believe that the person who almost ruined her life, as well as the lives of many other people, had finally been brought to justice, and she couldn't wait to hear what sentence Whitney was going to be given. She was currently at the rooftop of a restaurant, waiting for Gavin to arrive, and while she was waiting, she had decided to catch up on the news on her phone because she was eag
Third-person POV Whitney was nervous, but she tried not to show how nervous she was, especially since she was going to be dealing with gang members, and she couldn't afford to let them know she was a novice. She wasn't about to give them the privilege of walking all over her, so she maintained a bold look on her face, and was very much ready to meet with them, close the deal and be on her way. She had been waiting for about half an hour now, and it was already late into the night.“Why the hell are they not coming?” she wondered out loud as her impatience grew. She typically wasn't a very patient person, and because of how dangerous what she was about to do was, she needed them to get here as soon as possible so that she can get this over with. After waiting for another five minutes, she would spot a thug like man walking toward her, and immediately think to herself that it had to be one of the gang members. “Whitney?” he asked when he finally approached her, and she couldn't h
THIRD PERSON POV“Are you certain that if you see the face of the person you can tell?” The police officer asked the elderly man who claims to have seen someone visit the late Mr. Robin before he died.“Yes, I am certain. That day a lady came by the house. I was taking a stroll around that street. The street is usually quiet because nobody lives there. That cottage is the only cottage there and each time I took a stroll there, I never saw anyone so I was surprised to see a young pretty lady.” The man revealed. He continued with his statements, “I didn’t see her face at first until she turned to look around before entering the house.”“It was during the day that she entered the cottage but at midnight, I saw that lady leaving the cottage and you might be wondering what I was doing there so I will tell you,” he said to the officers before they questioned him any further.“As an old man, I take a stroll a lot of the time because of my legs. It was quite late when I was returning to my h
Whitney's Pov I was seriously running out of money, and it was making me anxious. I had spent way too long at the hotel, as well as spending a lot of money there, but after the stunt I pulled in Gavin's house, I really checked out of the hotel and came to a much cheaper one. I couldn't remember the last time I stayed in such a cheap hotel, but because I didn't have any more money to spluuch and I also needed to remain low-key for a while, I had no other choice but to forcefully enjoy my stay here. I still hadn't heard any news on what happened in the house, but I was desperately hoping that I would hear about Monique's death because that was the only thing that could make me happy. I desperately needed to hear that she was paying for mocking me and that Gavin was whiling away in his misery for daring to make a fool of me. I had a television on for that reason, and I also kept scrolling and scrolling on the internet to see if the news would come up. It had been almost a da
Third-person Pov Despite everything, Monique still could not believe what she had just experienced. It all still felt like a dream to her, and she was waiting for someone to wake her up from this horrible nightmare that she just had. If there was one thing she had avoided all her life, it was getting involved in any situation that could lead to a fire. She was always extra careful when it came to anything that could cause a fire, so the fact that she experienced being in a fire again after trying so hard to avoid it all her life made her feel like she was losing her mind. It also reminded her of everything that she had gone through in her childhood, starting from how she would have died in the fire that her father started if her mother hadn't protected her and how a fire was what ended her mother's life. It had all come rushing back to her in that moment, and now that she was out of danger, she couldn't remember the fear she had felt while it was happening and how it had resur
THIRD PERSON POVIt was the day for Whitney to meet up with the men Cole wanted her to meet. She had six hours before the said time but she had something else going on in her mind.“I think it’s best I do this now before going over there,” she said to herself.As much as she wanted to relax and wait for some other time, for some reason, she felt now was the perfect time for her to do what she wanted. “Do it. Don’t do it. Do it. Don’t do it.” She chanted until she decided to do what it was that she had in mind because she knew that she wouldn’t be able to get it off her mind if she didn't do it.She changed into an entirely different outfit that consisted of a short and white polo shirt. She put some kerosene in a small container. She put on a blackface cap before leaving the hotel room.She didn’t have any makeup on as she wanted her disguise to be so perfect. Whitney planned to infiltrate Gavin’s mansion and set the room where Monique was on fire.She had been thinking about it sinc
THIRD PERSON POV“I am never going to lose. I am not one to lose and Gavin chose the wrong person to mess with.” Whitney muttered to herself as she watched Gavin and Monique walk away look so happyShe clenched her fist with a frown on her face as knots in her stomach tightened. It hurts so much that she feels this way. She didn’t expect any of this to happen. When she did what she did for him, she expected to have a but it seems Gavin wouldn’t give her that and she refused to lose.She had lost everything as it was and even if she had to do the worst of it all to get what she wanted then she’d do it and if she could not get what she wanted then nobody would get what they wanted.With that thought in her, she walked away with so much in her mind. She was thinking of her to fight back and what to do to make Monique pay. When she returned to her hotel room, she went for a long shower because it was usually in her showers, for the craziest of her ideas.When she came out of the bathroom
Whitney's Pov I was in my car, waiting outside Gavin Jones's estate to see if at any point he would come out of the house.I had tried calling him a few more times, but it seemed like he had completely blocked my number, which made absolutely no sense, and it annoyed me in ways that I couldn't even begin to describe. I wanted to see if I would run into him by chance, so I was waiting for him and hoping that he would come out of the house so that I would pretentiously run into him and ask him why he was avoiding me after I helped him. After waiting for almost two hours and wondering if I should give up or not, I finally spotted a car driving out of the estate. I couldn't see who was behind the car, but seeing how one of the security guards bowed, I concluded that it had to be Gavin and no one else. My curiosity getting the better of me, I followed behind the car and drove behind it for about an hour until the car finally stopped in front of a spa that I recognized. When I realize
Third-person Pov “Can you explain to me what the hell you're doing here, dad?” Gavin questioned impatiently as he stared at his father with an annoyed look on his face. He could immediately tell that his mother had gotten uncomfortable seeing that his father had suddenly shown up, and the last thing he wanted was for his mother to be uncomfortable. “What is it, Gavin? Can't I come here to see my ex-wife after she finally recovered from her stroke? Am I in the wrong for coming to pay her a visit?” Gabriel Jones questioned, wearing an amused look on his face that only pissed Gavin off even more.He turned to look at his mother and Monique, who were both staring back and forth at them with confused looks on their faces as well. “Mon, could you please escort my mother to her bedroom and keep her there until I'm done escorting this man out of the house?” he requested.Gabriel scoffed. “I didn't come here to see you, and I'm definitely not going to be escorted out of here without speak
