Rosie stared at her phone screen in silence, even though the call with Jessica had long ended.She sighed, knowing she couldn't have an affair with Dylan again.She didn't want to be arrested, so she sadly continued with her office work for the day.She lost interest in checking her office records on the computer to see the new goods and products they were lacking. Moreover, she still had to check the pending requests from new companies wanting her to sell their products.Rosie couldn't believe she had to beg Dylan for a partnership when many other top brands also wanted to partner with her.She lost interest in her office work for the day. She switched off her computer and her phone, then finally went home, even though her mall hadn't closed.When she arrived home, she found only Frederick in the living room, as her daughter was sleeping peacefully on the couch, and Richard wasn't there with Frederick and Fiona.Rosie didn't stop to greet Frederick and went straight upstairs to her ro
At the Albert family mansion, inside the third-floor sitting room, Remy turned his back on Sharon. He knew she had lied to him about everything. They already had two kids together, and he didn't have any problems with her, aside from the fact that she lied about her family."Why, Sharon? So all this time, you knew Rosie was dating my sister's husband, and you kept quiet about it?" Remy asked sadly, avoiding his wife's tearful face as she knelt behind him, crying and holding his legs."I didn't know then, Remy. Believe me, I didn't know Dylan was your brother-in-law. I hadn't met you when Rosie started dating my brother. I don't even know when Dylan's and Rosie's relationship began. I only knew Rosie as my brother's girlfriend. Please forgive me for lying about my family," Sharon cried harder, afraid Remy might divorce her.Remy shook his head, having thought Frederick was just Rex's friend. Rex had been the one who invited Frederick.He knew when Rex cut ties with Frederick and told hi
Jessica paced about in the living room, waiting for her husband, Dylan Robinson, to return home from work.She was a beautiful, curvy woman, and she had been married to Dylan for five years.She had been submissive, loving, and taking care of their home and two kids. Yet, all of a sudden, Dylan changed.Jessica had a son and a daughter with Dylan. Her firstborn, Caleb, was a five-year-old boy, while her second child, Nina, was a two-year-old girl, and they were fast asleep in their separate bedrooms.For two nights, since Dylan left for work on Monday morning, Jessica hadn't seen her husband return home. She had noticed that his mood had changed before he left the house for work on Monday morning.Jessica stood in the living room and placed a call to Dylan to know where he was, but the network provider told her, "Sorry, the mobile number you're trying to call is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later.""Oh! Where could Dylan be?" Jessica cursed, having called Dylan's phone s
Jessica was grateful that her two children were fast asleep in their separate bedrooms. They had been questioning her about where their father had gone and why he wasn't usually around in the morning when they were preparing for school.She could not believe that she had to lie to her innocent kids, telling them that their father had traveled for a business meeting. Meanwhile, Dylan didn't pick up her calls at all, and she had no idea where he had gone.Jessica entered their bedroom, still holding the divorce papers in her hands. She saw Dylan stripping off his suit as he stood naked in the room, preparing to take a bath.Jessica gulped hard as her blue eyes met her husband's hard body. He looked like he wasn’t aging at all, but he had matured, and he was not the same man she had married five years ago.Jessica remembered how her father had rejected Dylan because her family had a personal hatred for poor people. She had to beg her family on his behalf and had even acted angrily with he
Jessica shook her head in the bathtub, knowing that Dylan usually made love to her in the bathroom whenever they bathed together as a couple, and now he was avoiding her.She resumed bathing in the white tub with her sponge, soap, and water. After she finished her bath, she rinsed her body and finally walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom to get dressed.Dylan had already put on his white night robe and was sitting on the bed, feeling tipsy from the alcoholic drink he had consumed at Rosie's home.He saw Jessica step out of the bathroom, but he immediately turned his gaze away from her and towards the wall as he lay on the bed.Dylan turned his back on Jessica and faced the wall. She frowned at her husband's behavior and knew that he was truly avoiding her.Jessica walked up to their wardrobe to take out a nightgown. She tried hard not to cry, as she didn't want to divorce Dylan.She knew he had been behaving strangely lately; he had been absent from home for two days in a ro
Dylan loved Jessica very much, but Rosie was already back in his life. Rosie was beautiful, and most importantly, she was slim and simple—the way he would have preferred Jessica to be. It used to be easy for him to lift Jessica up to his chest and make love to her while standing in their bedroom. However, Jessica was now too heavy for him to carry, and their once passionate intimate moments had diminished and become dull. He could no longer engage in the fun activities he used to enjoy with her.Jessica was mostly preoccupied with taking care of their two kids, and Dylan didn't like how their fun moments had faded away. He found himself bullying Jessica about her chubby body, but she usually smiled it off, unaware that he was serious. No matter what he did to annoy her, she would only smile and never expressed her frustration, which left him feeling frustrated as well. He couldn't cheat on her or find a random woman to sleep with either, as it would ruin his reputation and business if
Dylan walked towards their bed and saw the divorce papers on the headboard. He hadn't read them yet as there were two copies, which he had received when he was leaving Rosie's house.He took one of the divorce papers and glanced through it before putting it into his black briefcase and closing it. He decided to prepare for work, thinking he would read the divorce papers in his office.Meanwhile, Jessica rushed downstairs into the living room and saw her two kids sitting on the couch, eating the popcorn from the previous night that she had used to keep herself awake while waiting for Dylan to return home.She noticed the living room clock was already 8:35 AM, and she realized that her two kids were very late for school."Mummy! Mummy!" Caleb and Nina both rushed to hug her legs as soon as she stepped into the living room.Caleb asked, "Mummy, aren't we going to school today?"Jessica knew that her kids were already late for school. If their former maid had been around, she would have he
Dylan arrived at his company, a mobile production firm in the city, where he was well-known and had foreign partners. He parked his Honda Jeep in the company lot and made his way into the five-story building, heading up to the third floor where his office was located.Settling into his office chair, he resumed his work for the day. After finishing his tasks and meeting with several top partners and clients interested in his brand and new product models, Dylan finally relaxed in his executive black seat. Just then, he received a phone call from Rosie Andrew, who was excited to know if Jessica had finally signed the divorce papers."Hello, babe. Good morning," Rosie said cheerfully into the phone.Dylan glanced at his phone screen and replied, "Good morning, sweetheart. How was your night?""Not good without you here with me," Rosie shamelessly replied in a more seductive voice. Dylan swallowed hard and slowly loosened his necktie to relieve some tension."I'm sorry, but you know I can't
