A few days after her full recovery from depression and hallucinations, Yvonne was finally ready to return to school. As she stepped onto the school premises, the hurt in Lily and Jack's eyes surfaced in her mind, making her heart sink.Her thoughts drifted to her sessions with Amy. Amy had helped her realize that the children were essentially strangers. While she had the free will to love them, she shouldn't let them be a source of pain and torment. Amy also pointed out that the twins wouldn't be happy to know they had hurt their beloved teacher.Yvonne gulped, bracing herself to face the children, but to her relief, they weren't in class. At first, it was a comfort. The children chanted her name in excitement, pleased to see her return. However, as soon as they started discussing how the twins wouldn't be a reason for their sweet teacher to scold them anymore, Yvonne grew confused. She checked the children's records, only to realize that Lily and Jack had been absent since the day af
David had just registered at a gym in the district where he and his soon-to-be wife had recently bought their home. He walked with a content smile on his lips, savoring the life he had always craved. The area was filled with luxurious houses owned by wealthy individuals, a stark contrast to the small apartment he had shared with Yvonne. The difficult life he had endured to become what he currently was now seemed worth it. A man set for life, David no longer worried about money and held an unshakable position in the Langston Corporation. This prestigious position had been awarded to him by the Madam of the Langston group herself. Not even the CEO could remove him.In short, David was set for life. His next biggest move was to finally marry the woman who had been the brains behind his success. Yvonne had once been useful to him, but now, in his eyes, she was no longer valuable.Upon arriving at the gym, David easily socialized with the gym instructors and his neighbors. However, his sm
Yvonne had been preoccupied with her thoughts concerning Lily and Jack. She recalled when she had first arrived at the school.The children would arrive happy but leave in a sour mood. She became drawn to their demeanor, watching them intently when she had nothing important to do.The twins were remarkably smart for their age, and their intense moods made them a mystery to her until her curiosity led her to discover they were being bullied.It wasn't physical bullying because Jack never allowed that. When other kids taunted him, he would lower his head and walk away quickly. He was cool-headed and could overlook being poked or having his clothes pulled, enduring their laughter with remarkable composure.However, whenever Lily was present, Jack's demeanor changed. He would glare at the bullies, and if they tried to touch his sister, he would push them to the ground, making them fear him.One such incident led to a mother showing up at school to complain about a bruise her child suffere
Yvonne stood in front of a luxurious brand store that had recently opened a branch in her country. She had saved up a lot of money since David no longer needed her assistance after securing a job at the Langston Group.Taking a deep breath, Yvonne stepped inside. She was immediately surrounded by beautiful clothes and classy customers who casually pointed at dresses without checking the prices.Unaccustomed to such luxury, Yvonne's heart leaped when she saw one of the price tags. "$7,500!"She panicked. Her monthly salary wasn't even close to that amount. Then, she noticed a young lady with two friends squealing in delight over a dress and adding it to her collection without hesitation.Yvonne felt out of place. Doubt crept in as she considered the price. It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it, but the thought of spending so much on a dress she would rarely wear made her reluctant.Just as she was about to leave, she spotted a row of dresses at a distant corner of the store, marked wi
“Miss Yvonne?” Micheal's words came out more like a question.Yvonne smiled softly and nodded. “It’s me,” she said.Micheal was surprised to see her all dolled up and wearing such a revealing dress. Her long slender legs were in full display. She looked like a totally different version of herself.For some reason, he imagined her previous persona had been fake all along. He had planned to still befriend her for his children's sake, but now he felt the need to study her more before making that decision.Even though Lily and Jack claimed they no longer liked Yvonne, they weren't happy as the days passed by. They resisted their urge to return to school and see her. He could read them like an open book. The kids often brought up her betrayal just to motivate themselves not to give in to the temptation of seeing her again.“Nice to see you again,” Micheal said in a passive tone, noticing Yvonne staring at Sandra beside him.He cleared his throat and said, “This is my boss. I drove her arou
When Yvonne arrived at the venue for her meeting with David, she took deep breaths and made a silent wish for the day to go well and make a huge impact on their relationship.She stepped into the reception area and walked towards the elevator that would take her to the VIP lounge where she expected David to be waiting. He hadn't let her down. He was standing by the transparent glass, which provided a clear view of the beautiful city. The sky had begun to darken.It was a nice view, but David was restless. He had a big argument with his fiancée over his meeting with Yvonne that day. She had told him to use the opportunity to clear things with Yvonne once and for all, and that was what David had planned for the night.Until he laid eyes on Yvonne, who stepped in at that moment. David's mouth dropped as he stared at the gorgeous, curvy woman who dropped her small bag and approached him.He nearly forgot to breathe at the sight of her beauty and elegance as she walked up to him. Her hair
It hadn't been only Micheal who decided to keep an eye on Yvonne's date with David, although he still couldn't find a rational excuse for doing so.Sammy had felt insecure about leaving David and Yvonne alone. Despite their current circumstances, she knew they had shared a home for years and, at one point, their hearts. Sammy couldn’t risk not knowing what they were doing, so she followed David’s car.When she saw Yvonne stepping out, looking sophisticated despite her outdated ride, her blood boiled. She fought the urge to rush out and warn Yvonne against seeing David but worried that such an action would upset him.Instead, she waited, her heart warming when she saw that they hadn’t spent much time alone. David walked out of the establishment in large strides, with a barefoot Yvonne rushing after him.Sammy smirked as people gave Yvonne odd glances. Yvonne now stood in front of David, panting hard.Micheal, watching from a reasonable distance, furrowed his brows subconsciously.Meanw
“Ma'am, is everything okay?” One of the security guards standing outside the establishment walked towards Yvonne and inquired.Yvonne took deep breaths to calm herself and maintain a composed expression before looking up at the security man. “All is good. My fiancé just said something hilarious,” she replied sarcastically, then walked past the man towards the building.She took the stairs back up to the 5th floor, intentionally exhausting herself. She picked up her heels from where she had left them, put them on, and dragged her feet towards the VIP room where her well-prepared dinner still remained unfinished.Yvonne sat down at the table, her face red from all the emotional turmoil. She pulled out a tissue, blew her nose, and began eating silently.Her alcohol tolerance was low, so her side of the table consisted of water and non-alcoholic wine. But after finishing everything, she proceeded to drink the wine meant for David.In less than an hour, having cleared everything on the tab
