I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My phone had beeped signalling a message had come in while I was busy trying to figure out a way to contact Cole and try to explain the whole situation and why I kept my real identity away from him all these time. Only for me to receive this heart wrenching message again! It was a video of me and Nate while he took advantage of me and raped to fulfil his own desires. A gasp escaped my lips and I felt dizzy for a while as I lost my balance and fell on the floor, my phone still in my hands but I was panicking.Why was all of these happening in such a rush to me? What on earth was it that I had done to Nate to deserve this? First he drugs me then takes advantage of me and rapes to his satisfaction. Not only did he stop there, he also made a tape to intimidate and blackmail me. My heart began to beat faster as another gasp unconsciously fell from my mouth and a sob threatened to break through from me. I watched the whole video and my face was obvious

Elizabeth's povMy eyes were puffy by morning from all the tears I had shed the last night. I couldn't even try to hide the sadness on my face because it had eaten deep into my soul. I couldn't say I felt empty but I felt unworthy and useless as I stared at myself in the mirror. My legs were still feeling sore from my encounter with Nate and there was no one I could tell because I'll end up getting blamed and be told I also played a part in inviting Nate.A fresh round of tears wound up in my eyes and I couldn't help but try to muffle the cry that threatened to escape my mouth.Why was nothing going my way recently? I and Cole were having a blissful vacation with our friends only for it to turn to chaos at this point.

He left me and I was desperate to have someone beside me in my

While drinking with his friends in the bar, he began to think of Elizabeth as he chugged the liquid down his throat, 'Elizabeth...' he slurred slowly in a whisper.He stared down at his glass as he twirled the margarita around. The chuckling and happy giggles of his friends had all ho e to the whirlwind as the thoughts of Beth began to envelope him.He suddenly began to miss her, 'but why would he even miss her?' he queried himself internally! It was just a contract marriage. Nothing more and nothing less, and besides in a few months the contract period will be over and I'll pay her off; out of my mind... Out of my life, forever.He said to himself, "Hey buddy" a voice had woken him out of his reverie it was Zayn. "Yeah?" Cole replied him, all eyes on the table were all focused on him.

LIZAI woke up to the sound of my notification alarm going off like a bell. My belly dropped as a gut instinct of what happened filled my belly. I knew what it was. I just didn't want to believe it.He did it. I snatched my phone from the table top, steeling myself to open it. The first thing I saw was the tabloid headline. I felt bile rise in my throat as my eyes scanned it."Billionaire's Wife caught cheating on him with proof!"And they just kept getting worse. I ignored the notification of people tagging me, knowing it would only take me back to where I was throughout these past nights.I opened my chat inbox, seeing about a thousand message notifications from my group chat with Crystal and Karry. I checked if Cole had texted me, but saw nothing. I ignored the side of me telling me I should leave him alone and texted him.Coco Honey Bear: Please call me. Don't look at the news. You need to hear me explain first.I opened the group chat next, skipping through the numerous messages,

BethLife was a bitch. Who said good always won? They lied. I am not the best person out there and I should have told Cole the truth but I did not deserve this. I had laid in my bathtub for what feels like mere minutes but when I moved my limbs, the intense pins-and-needle sensation made me realise it had been longer than that. I had ben sitting in this tub lost in thought for 2 hours. The same tub Cole and I had shared. The tears gathered in my eyes again and I tied to force them back. Crrying would not help. I had done enough of it the past 2 days to know. I needed a game plan, an organized, plan.Leaving the bathroom, I got dressed and by some twisted fate stepped on the remote. The TV came on and my face came on screen. It was a good picture of me that was used but that was not the point. The headlines were haunting “After Billionaire’s Wife is Found Cheating, Husband Returns Alone. Could it be the End to a Seemingly Perfect but Short-lived Marriage?” I crumbled to the floor. When

ElizabethThe mornings got worse. Everytime I woke up and didn't see Cole next to me and knowing why he wasn't, it was starting to take a huge toll on my mental health. I rubbed my face, releasing my breath through as a hiss through my teeth.I picked up my phone from the bedside cabinet. I didn't even know who I was going to call. Crystal and Karry were back in Hawaii, and I wasn't about to ask them to come over for me.I could get through this on my own. I just had to keep my head clear and keep running through those practice breathing techniques.I had deleted any form of social media whatsoever, in order to keep myself from going online and seeing the nasty things people were speculating about me.I turned off my phone, throwing off my covers with my empty hand. I slipped my feet into the slippers by the bed, moving towards the kitchen. The pantry was still full, so I decided to treat myself to a lavish breakfast.I wasn't sure I would finish it, but it would lift my spirits. drop

I wasn't sure what to do, I was too weak to fight, too drained to defend myself.I have been living a lie and I knew it was going to catch up with me, I knew it was going to be the death of me.

We didn't fly together, I took the private jet and he flew back using business class in a commercial plane, ever since I had known Cole, he had never flown in a commercial plane, I thought about the countless hours of trips we had have in this private jet while I was still working as his secretary, how many girls I have seen ride with him, how he would flirt with them and how they would think that he was in love with them just to have on the next trip him bringing back another girl. It was a habit for him. I had never seen one girl twice on this train. Most of them flew with us during the trip and he would dismiss them before the trip was over—tops, two days. I sometimes wonder what those girls felt but sometimes I conclude they knew what they were getting into and the truth was that most of them just wanted a taste of his money and glamorous lifestyle.
