Brie flushed at the attention before she leaned her head closer to me and said, “That’s suicide." “It’s not. I want revenge on Kelvin.” I yelled over the loud music of the club. We moved to France immediately after the divorce, which was two weeks ago. I know it was a big move, but I didn’t want to run into Kelvin when I was still healing, but I came across the perfect opportunity. “But using his brother against him is just cold, Lucy. It’s going to cause a lot of drama,” she warned, turning back to eye the man who sat in the VIP lounge while a dancer danced in front of him. “Is it because of Kilein Carter that you wanted to move to France?” She asked with eyes wide in disbelief. “No. I promise, it wasn’t planned. I even forgot that Kelvin had a brother in France.” I corrected. My eyes watched Kilein. I didn’t know much about the man except what Kelvin had told me
“Are you okay?” Brie whispered from behind me. We stood at the entrance of the courthouse, where Kelvin was waiting inside with his lawyer. It had been a week since I found him cheating, and today we were getting divorced. Mr. Adams worked fast, and that was the reason why I had kept him as my lawyer. He made sure Kelvin was not able to refuse signing the divorce letter. Kelvin had tried multiple times to contact me, but I didn’t answer his calls. I didn’t need to hear excuses. Nothing would ever excuse cheating in my books. “Lucy?” Brie called again, and I turned to her. I had gotten lost in my thoughts. It had become a common occurrence in the past week. “Are you okay?” She asked again. Her voice was soft as she spoke. It was as though she was afraid of saying something that would make me angry. I was not proud of it, but I had lashed out a lot these past few weeks. I was lucky to have Brie with me. She never got angry, even with my mood swings, and was always there for me no m
Each step I took away from the house felt like a piece of me was being torn away. I walked to the garage and got into my car. I could take it because it didn’t belong to Kelvin or was gotten with his money. My grip around the steering wheel tightened as the road before me became blurry. I sniffed and wiped my eyes, but the stupid tears just wouldn’t stop falling. Multiple thoughts raced through my mind as Stephanie’s words travelled back to me. Was it really my fault? Was I so concerned only about myself that I didn’t see that Kelvin wasn’t happy? I asked him so many times about it, but he said he wasn’t bothered that we were yet to have children. He told me he could wait a thousand years, so why? I slammed my fist hard against the wheel, causing the horn to blow loudly, but it wasn’t enough to soothe the ache in my heart. I tried to find an excuse, but nothing could excuse him from cheating on me. It may have been a joke then, but I had told him multiple times to tell me when
LUCY POV I gripped the test results tightly in my hand as excitement and nervousness coursed through every inch of my body. “Can you hurry up?” I said with a big smile to the cab driver as we rode to my house that I’ve lived with my husband, Kelvin, for the past two years since we got married. I could not wait to show him the surprise. It was our second-year anniversary, and I had two surprises for him to match the year. The first was that I was coming home without telling him. I had been in Germany for the past two weeks to finalise a deal for Carter’s corporation. My husband, Kelvin Carter, was one of the heirs to the corporation and among the top ten billionaires in the country. We were happy, and the only thing missing was our own child, which leads to the second surprise. I was pregnant. After two years of trying endlessly, I finally conceived. During my trip, I had been sick, and I thought I had caught the flu, but a trip to the hospital yesterday proved me wrong. I was
