CORA

I came out of my new house all glammed up at seven and Reign was already waiting outside to pick me up.

Earlier, we had gone back to his company and worked for a few hours before leaving. Reign promised to pick me up so I wouldn't have to drive and now, we were ready to go.

"You're a sight for sore eyes," he complimented me.

I raised my brows in disbelief but he added, "Seriously, I can't remember the last time, I saw a lady rock a pink dress so sexily."

His words made me happy, even though I believed I wasn't as beautiful or sexy as he claimed.

My luggage was filled with new dresses I had bought prior to my wedding to Lucas, in hopes that we would attend a lot of dinner parties as a couple.

Glad I would now have the opportunity to use them all. This was why I had told Reign earlier that he did not need to take me shopping.

As always, Reign wore a suit and looked dashing in it. I was tempted to ask him why he had to look so serious when he was having dinner with his family. How

    REIGNI saw the color drain from Cora's face and how shocked she looked. What I had thought would be a happy dinner for her had suddenly turned into an unhappy one.I became angry. If only my mom had mentioned that Lisa and her mom would also be present, I would not have brought Cora with me.I felt her body stiffen and she tried to pull her hand away from my hold but I wouldn't let her.I could also see the look of shock on my sister's face. It was obvious that she had initially taken a liking to Cora but that changed really quickly. She had never liked Lisa and always told me in the past that Lisa had me wrapped around her finger which was something she found upsetting.The expression on my dad's face had also changed to one of irritation, seeing that Cora's and my fingers were still intertwined together.I led Cora to the dining when everyone began to take their seats. As she sat beside me, I briefly squeezed her hand in comfort, hoping that it would make her feel better.Lisa's ga

    CORAI gracefully walked out of the Fletchers' dining room, refusing to show my weakness and breakdown in front of them. I could not give Lisa the satisfaction. She had set a trap for me and without knowing, I had fallen into it. I never knew she was so cunning and I believed Reign didn't know as well.I'd been humiliated a lot of times but I did not feel as much pain as I felt in my heart. However, I could not stop thinking about Reign and the distressed look I had seen in his eyes.Was it because his family seemed to have turned against him or because I was humiliated? I hoped it was the latter. In the end, he was also a victim because Lisa had as well made him into a bad guy in the eyes of his family.What was I supposed to do now? They all probably thought I was a shameless two-timing woman who wanted their son for his money. I didn't know why I was unlucky most of the time but I didn't want to spend another second in that place.I wiped off the tears that threatened to pour out o

    REIGNI walked back into the house, ready to give everyone a piece of my mind. I looked at everyone sitting in the dining and they stared back at me. Just as I was about to speak, however, my dad got up and said, "Come with me, Reign."He walked out of the dining room while keeping a straight face and I followed right behind him. He entered his bedroom and I did too, before closing the door.Just as I approached him, he turned and landed a slap on my face as he yelled, "What the hell are you doing with someone's wife?I know your heart is soft like your mom's but that doesn't mean you should be gullible and stupid. Even if you don't want Monalisa anymore, there are so many other good girls out there, why would you let yourself fall for a married woman?""She's not married, Dad," I quickly replied.He scoffed, "Do you think I'm a fool, Reign? If she wasn't married, she would have simply said it and proven Monalisa wrong instead of running away like a coward."I smiled bitterly and shoo

    CORA"Cora," I heard someone call my name and looked up to see Reign standing in front of me.I quickly got up and ran into his arms. "I am so sorry," he said once again as he stroked my hair.Being in his arms, all the pain I felt earlier suddenly disappeared. In front of Reign, I felt I could be weak, vulnerable, and, could bawl my eyes out but that would only hurt him.So, as I looked at him, I just smiled and he smiled back.He touched my neck and asked, "Why are you outside? Judging from your temperature, you must be feeling cold."Indeed I was feeling cold because I had been outside for a while. "I forgot my keys in your car," I told him. "I think it fell off my bag.""I'm so sorry about that," he replied. "Hold on, let me quickly check."He checked his car and I heaved a sigh of relief when he found the keys. He opened the door and said, "Let's go inside."He led me toward the couch and made me sit. "You must be feeling cold. Wait here, I'll be right back."I smiled as he hu

    LUCASI sat in my hotel room thinking about what to do. I had gone through the information on my phone for like a million times but still could not believe my eyes.I had received it the same night Cora exposed everything to my grandfather. After that, I decided to leave so I could clear my head and make a decision.I could still recall when I first met Avery, how innocent and beautiful she looked. She had captured my attention and made me fall head over heels in love with her.Even when I realized she was superficial, it did not change the love I had for her. Her sister, Cora was the opposite. Although she wasn't as beautiful as Avery, she had depth and, affected me in ways I initially did not understand.At first, I told myself that it was because she bore a little resemblance to Avery in one way or another, that was why I spoke to her rudely each time I thought of her as a woman.When she had told me that Reign was her friend, I had thought that Reign kept her close because she was

    AVERYI got up from the bed, picked up my clothes on the floor, and began to put them on. After getting dressed, I looked at the man lying naked on the bed and said, "You got what you wanted, Greg. Now, stay away and never bother me again.Greg sat upright, took out a cigarette from the pack on the table, lit it, and began to smoke, "You can't tell me what to do, baby. Don't forget all that I have done for you. I pushed you to where you are today, introduced you to my boss, and helped you get into the best modeling academy in the world."And so what?" I barked. "Do not forget that it wasn't free. I paid both you and your boss with my body. This is really the last time, Greg. I have a fiance and I'm going to marry him. Forget about me because no matter what happens, I will never meet with you again.As I spoke, Greg picked up his phone and forwarded some pictures and videos to me. When I got to the door, he said, "You should see the gift I just sent to your phone."I rolled my eyes, to

    CORAI parked my car in the parking lot and quickly headed toward the CEO's elevator. Reign had told me to only use it while going up so I would feel at ease.I closed my eyes when I got into the elevator. I found myself shaking and feeling nauseous but I couldn't tell if it was because I was taking the elevator alone or because I was late on my first day in attorney Olsen's department.Nevertheless, I closed my eyes and leaned my back, imagining that Reign was there with me as the elevator took me to the right floor.Once I got out, I hurriedly made my way to my new office. In spite of everything, I felt excited about later sharing my love story with Emily. I could not wait to see the pleasant surprise that would appear on her face when she learned that I unintentionally caught Reign Fletcher's eye.When I entered the office, I saw the same seven faces I had seen the previous day. "Good morning, everyone," I said cheerfully.They all lifted their heads one after the other to look at

    AVERY"What are you saying?" I asked Lucas. "It must have been Cora, right? She must have badmouthed me to you. Don't believe anything she says honey, you know how much I love you. I was just trying to upset her, that's all. You know I take pleasure in doing that."Lucas furrowed his brows, "Cora?"I nodded, "Yes, didn't she tell you I said I wanted Reign Fletcher and would give her to you? I was just trying to spite her. You are the only man I love and want to spend the rest of my life with. Please divorce Cora right away and let's get married."He shook his head, "It's already late, Avery. I can't do that anymore. I want Cora now. She is my wife and I will never let her go.""Don't you love me anymore?" I began to cry but he turned his face away. This was the same Lucas I had wrapped around my finger so I believed his anger was speaking because of whatever Cora must have told him.Nevertheless, I knew his weakness and decided to use it to my advantage. While tears fell from my eyes,

    MIRANDA The expression on the faces of everyone turned into shock. Seeing that I looked serious, the lady at the counter said, "Calm down, Ma'am. I will call Mr. Duke right away and inform him."At this point, a man walked up to the counter. From the way he was dressed and the way all the employees at the counter greeted him respectfully, I could tell he was a prominent figure.One of the employees picked up a card from a bunch on the counter and handed it to the man, saying, "Here's an invitation to the boss' launch party tonight. It's mandatory to show up with the invitation, sir."The man smiled and accepted the invitation card, saying, "Thank you, I will surely be at the party."As the man turned and began to walk away, I stared at the heap of cards and thought, "So that arrogant man is throwing a party, huh? I wonder how he would react if I gate crashed it. Would he send me back home just as I want?"I suddenly became excited as I thought about what I could do at the party."I'm

    MIRANDA My so called husband stared at me in shock and scoffed, "What effrontery!""Sammy, what are you still doing? Throw this piece of trash out of my house before I lose it."I rolled my eyes, "As if I want to be here! You must be crazy upstairs, which explains why you can't speak without raising your voice, old man. Pick on someone your own size and news flash, I would be more than happy to leave this place."A few other domestic staff had arrived at this point and they were all staring in surprise. The man looked at me in shock as though he could not believe I was speaking to him.He began to approach me and at this point, one of the domestic staff ran and stood in front of me. She seemed a little older than me and was beautiful too.Sammy tried to speak to him but he pushed him away. I folded my arms, feeling so happy that he wanted me gone. When he got close to me, the girl in front refused to budge. The man stared at her in surprise and it made me wonder who she was."Who the

    MIRANDA I had no idea what was going on there but seeing the look on the faces of my family members, I got an uncomfortable feeling. The woman was about to speak, possibly to explain whatever the hell was going on, however, I did not give her the time to do so.I couldn't go through the back because my mum was right behind me, so, I passed the woman and bolted out the door. I stood outside briefly, and came up with an idea; rather than to Collins, I would run to my cousin's for the time being, until I understood what was going on. I heard footsteps behind me and began to run without looking back."Please, don't abandon us when we need you the most," I heard a familiar voice and stopped.My mom walked up to me and turned me so I could face her. Tears kept falling from her eyes as she cried, "Please, Mira. Go with the woman and do whatever she says. This is the only thing I have ever asked of you.""That's a lie, mom," I replied. "You've asked me to do a lot of things over the years. T

    MIRANDA I stared at Collins' departing figure and thought, "You'll change your mind once I get back, Collins."I continued running to the road to get a cab. I could not stop worrying that something had happened to my dad. My mom didn't seem like the patient when I heard her voice earlier. My elder brother, Sean, was strong and athletic so it could not be him also. This left me with my dad who had poor health from smoking when he was young and becoming hypertensive after we lost my sister. Once I got to the front of my house, I saw my mum pacing up and down. She stared at me in shock when she saw the way I was dressed. I had initially left through the back and planned to return through it because I wasn't allowed to wear such skimpy clothes and with good reason."Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and tried to wipe off the makeup on my face. She completely ruined it but that was the least of my problems."Mom, what happened?" I asked anxiou

    MIRANDAI stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in approval. I looked really sexy in the short, black dress I had on. There was no way Collins would not go crazy if he saw me looking so hot.He had been my boyfriend for three years in high school and now we were both in our first year in the same college. However, he sent a breakup text to me last night.I couldn't find him all day in school but I learned about the party that would take place in his house. Even though I wasn't invited, I intended to gatecrash the party and give him the one thing he had been asking for.My constant refusal over the years was the same reason why he broke up with me but I loved him too much to let him go. If having sex with him was what I had to do to keep him, then I was getting laid tonight. I arrived at Collins' house a few minutes past six and saw that the party was in full swing. His family was well-to-do, so hosting a party such as that was a piece of cake for him, especially when his pa

    ADAMAfter Lisa left, life felt boring. Reading her letter had been extremely excruciating, especially because I knew that my Granny had gotten to her.I couldn't even get upset with my Granny. I loved her too much, and I knew that she did what she did because she felt it was best for the family.I so badly wanted to talk to Lisa, to hear her voice even once, but I had to respect her wishes. It was the only way I could convince her that I really loved her.In the days that followed, I was forced to get along with Clay, who also seemed to have become very sad. At some point, I wondered if he genuinely loved Lisa, or if he was just upset that he did not have something to use against me anymore.Thanks to our Granny, we were forced to eat breakfast, lunch, and even dinner together. Each time we tried to miss anyone, she would suddenly become sick and create a scene. We knew her health wasn't too good, so we had to play along.

I thought I knew him. Even in the short time I met him, I didn't think he could be so selfish. I was so disappointed in him. But I was very happy, too, that Adam was not willing to give me up.For a moment there, I had been scared. As I listened to their conversation, I had thought that Adam would give in to his Granny's request, but he stood his ground. It meant he really loved me. His Granny soon arrived, and I smiled at her.She sat beside me and said, "Lisa, to be very honest, I have nothing against you.
