Sylvia stepped into the familiar lobby of her father’s house. She entered and saw her stepmother and stepsister in the living room. Sylvia looked around, wondering where her father was.

Victoria and Emily gazed up from the couch, their eyebrows furrowed in exaggerated worry. ''Oh, Sylvia, dear, what happened?' Victoria asked, her voice sugary sweet, her eyes gleaming with a calculating intensity. Emily nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling with malice.

Sylvia already knew that they didn’t like her and were just pretending whenever her father was around, and they acted and treated her very well whenever her father was around too.

“Oh, my bad. I forgot that you were left by your supposed husband on the altar inside the hall.”

Victoria's voice was a masterclass in insincere empathy, her words dripping with honeyed concern as she cooed, 'Sylvia, darling, you must be heartbroken!' But Sylvia heard the faintest hint of a smirk beneath the surface, a telltale sign that Victoria was secretly delighted by her misery.

Sylvia forced out a bright smile, but her eyes betrayed her hurt and anger. “Where is my father?”

But they were obviously not done dealing with her yet.

Emily her step sister snickered, her ears perked up in amusement.

Emily's voice dripped with sarcasm, her words a taunting whisper: 'What happened, Sylvia? Didn't Nicole want to marry you as his wife ?' her eyes glinting with malice.

She was jealous of the fact that Nicole chose Sylvia when Emily was more beautiful than her. What does he even like about her? It made Emily wonder.

But after seeing how the wedding went, She was more than happy to see Sylvia's ass getting dumped by Nicole.

She has never been so happy as she was in her entire life.

Sylvia's lips curled into a triumphant smile, her voice a sweet purr. “You wish to be in my shoes? You wished Nicole chose you instead'; her eyes sparkling with satisfaction.

“You- “ Emily felt ashamed because her thoughts were revealed.

James's face turned red, his voice a thunderclap, 'Enough!' his fist slamming down on the table like a judge's gavel.

James's face turned red, his veins bulging like twisted ropes as he yelled, his voice echoing off the walls. His fists clenched, shaking with rage, as he walked over Sylvia, his eyes blazing with fury.

Emily immediately kept quiet. Victoria also stood so she could watch the drama that was about to unfold.

"Dad,” Sylvia said with an aggrieved look.

James' gaze bore into Sylvia, his eyes flashing with disgust. James's eyes narrowed, his voice a cold breeze. "You are a disappointment,” his gaze pierced Sylvia like a sharp knife.

This made Sylvia's heart sink.

James's face fell, his eyes clouding over like a stormy sky as he looked at Sylvia. He shook his head, his voice low and disapproving. “You had one job, Sylvia. One chance to secure our family's future. And you blew it. You want the family to be a laughing stock so bad. I’m sure this will make you happy after all.”

Sylvia's lips curled into a brittle smile, but her eyes flashed with anger and hurt, betraying her true emotions. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she fought back tears.

“I.. I “ Sylvia stammered.

James's voice cracked like a whip.

"Go to your room; you are grounded," he said, his eyes flashing with authority.

Sylvia's voice trembled like a leaf.

“Father, no.” her eyes welling up with tears.

Victoria's smile was a thin, cruel line, her eyes glinting with a triumphant light as she watched Sylvia's distress. Her voice was a sugary purr, dripping with false concern, as she cooed, “Oh, Sylvia, dear, you're so upset. Let me help you through this difficult time.” Victoria tried to grab her, but Sylvia avoided her like she was plagued.

Sylvia's feet felt heavy as she walked away from the living room, the weight of her father's words settling in her chest like a stone.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she fought back tears. The sound of her father's stern and unforgiving voice echoed in her mind, making her feel small and powerless. She stormed into her room, slamming the door behind her, the sound reverberating through the hallway like a scream.

Sylvia walked into her room and walked towards the bed. She sat down on the edges of the bed.

The maid's soft voice interrupted the silence, her eyes filled with concern. 'Miss, do you need water?"

Sylvia's lips curled into a brittle smile, 'I'm fine'; her eyes betrayed her true emotions.

The maid nodded. She doesn't know what else to say to console Sylvia because the humiliation was really too much.

Sylvia's phone suddenly rang. This made Sylvia snap out of her daze. She looked at the maid and asked, “What is that?” She asked her.

“It is your phone, Miss; should I bring it?” She asked.

Sylvia frowned and wanted to say no when the phone rang again.

“I think it is a text message,” her maid said again.

Sylvia's hand shot out, her fingers grasping the phone like a vice. “Let me see it!"

The maid immediately walked towards her with the phone in her hand. She gave the phone to Sylvia.

Sylvia unlocked the phone. She did not see a missed call, so she guessed that it was a text message. Sylvia opened the text message app, and she saw two new messages from an unsaved number.

Sylvia frowned and opened it.

The first message was a picture of Nicole and Tendy in an intimate hug.

This made Sylvia's heartbreak. She felt like her heart was stabbed by something, and it was bleeding.

Sylvia scrolled down and saw the second message. The message blazed on the screen, its words a venomous hiss: 'You really think he will marry you and let you be his wife ? In your dreams!!"

Sylvia's eyes froze on the screen, her mind numb as she read the words over and over, willing them to change. Her breath came in short gasps, her chest constricting like a vise as she felt the ground beneath her crumble.

Sylvia's lips curled downward. It seems she was really being delusional about the whole thing. Nicole never said he wanted to marry her because he fell in love with her; she was the one imagining all these things alone.

Sylvia really thought she would have Nicole all to herself now. Even though she knew that he never loved her, she thought he would grow to love her after they got married.

Sylvia's eyes dropped back to the screen, and she saw a third message waiting for her. “Meet me at the oak tree; come alone.” It was from Nicole.

This made her heart start beating fast.

Did you find another replacement so quickly?” She asked, raising her eyebrow enviously, she wondered how Sylvia was always able to get so many rich men. “I don’t know him,” Sylvia said calmly as she walked away.

    Sylvia Luke nodded thoughtfully, absorbing Lily’s words. It felt like a moment of clarity had settled over her, one that brought a sense of understanding she had been searching for. “Okay, I understand now,” she said, finishing the last drop of her drink. It was refreshing, like a cool breeze on a sweltering day, and she felt a little lighter. Lily, however, had different plans. She poured a generous measure of alcohol into her glass and downed it in one swift motion. The burn felt familiar, a reminder that sometimes the easiest way to dull the ache of longing was to simply forget. She forced a smile, one tinged with bitterness, knowing Sylvia Luke couldn’t see the true emotion behind it. Deep down, she longed for someone like Stephan Damon—someone who would love her unconditionally. “You are a lucky girl,” she muttered under her breath, her voice barely audible over the hum of the bar. It was a statement directed not at Sylvia but at her own unfulfilled desires. “Did you say

Sylvia Luke shrugged, pouring a drink into the empty glass on the table. “I am okay,” she replied, attempting to mask the turmoil beneath her surface. Lily smiled knowingly. “You don’t look like you are alright,” she said, her tone laced with familiarity. “Is it written all over my face?” Sylvia countered, trying to keep her voice light, but the weight of her emotions was hard to hide. “If you want to deceive everyone, you can’t deceive me,” Lily said, her voice firm yet gentle. “I can tell when you’re not really okay. What’s wrong? Are we still best friends? You’ve started keeping things away from me.” Her expression turned sad, and Sylvia felt a pang of guilt. Sylvia sighed, feeling the walls close in on her. “It’s Stephan Damon!” she blurted out. “And I’m sure you’re keeping things from him too. What are you hiding from me?” Lily chuckled, a hin

    Sylvia Luke closed her room door with a soft thud and sank onto the bed, her mind racing. Just then, her phone rang, slicing through her thoughts. Startled, she fished it out of her bag and glanced at the screen. It was Lily, her closest friend. She answered the call, placing the phone to her ear. “Hello?” she said, trying to keep her voice steady. “What’s up?” Lily’s voice came through, bright and cheerful. “I’m good. What about you?” Sylvia replied, attempting to mirror her friend’s upbeat tone. “Okay.

    Stephan Damon’s expression darkened at the mention of her name. “She’s with the police. Why do you ask?” His tone was guarded; he didn’t want to believe that Sylvia Luke might feel sympathy for the woman who had wronged her. Sylvia Luke shrugged, her heart heavy with conflicting emotions. “I just want to see her, to understand. I feel like she might have been deceived or something,” she said, her voice quieter now. The idea of confronting the woman was daunting, yet she felt a strange pull to learn more, to empathize with someone who seemed to be acting out of pain. Stephan Damon regarded her thoughtfully, his gaze searching her face. He could see the turmoil within her, the struggle between her desire for justice and her instinct to show compassion. “You don’t have to carry her burden too,” he finally said, his voice low but firm. “Focus on your healing first.” Stephan Damon nodded, the weight of the situation hanging between them. “She will tell the police all that.

He leaned closer, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead. “Please, come back to me,” he murmured, his voice laced with emotion. “I need you.” Stephan Damon walked out of the ward, needing a moment to collect himself and avoid disturbing Sylvia Luke’s fragile peace. He stepped into the dimly lit corridor and pulled out his phone, his fingers trembling slightly as he dialed a number. “Hello?” came a cautious voice on the other end. “Boss, the woman is still adamant that Madam seduced her husband. She claims she received some images on her phone,” the bodyguard reported, his voice shaky. Stephan Damon clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white. Anger surged th

    Stephan Damon dropped to his knees beside Sylvia Luke, his heart aching at the sight of her. She lay still, her chest barely rising and falling, and for a moment He walked closer to her and carried her in his arms not caring about how dirty and haggard she looked. The smell of urine assaulted his nose, but he didn't care about that, he was a clean freak but he didn't even bother about getting dirty. “Sylvia?” he whispered, his voice barely above a breath. Sylvia Luke heard the familiar tone, like a lifeline pulling her back from the abyss. She struggled to open her heavy eyelids, each flutter feeling like a monumental effort. Finally, she managed to focus on the face that meant everything to her. “Hubby, you’re finally here,” she said in a low, raspy tone, forcing a smile that felt more like a grimace. The effort it took to appear cheerful only deepened the ache in Stephan Damon’s heart. His chest tightened painfully as he took in her disheveled appearance. She looked so fra

    Just when she thought it couldn’t get worse, the phone in her pocket began to ring, cutting through the chaos like a beacon. The woman, still holding her down, felt the vibrations and yanked the phone out. She glanced at the screen, her expression shifting to one of disdain as she read the name: “Baby.” “You’re really shameless. Is it one of the men you seduced calling you? Let’s see who else you’ve seduced after my husband,” the woman sneered, holding the phone like a trophy, her expression a mix of triumph and derision. Sylvia Luke’s mind felt blank, a swirling fog taking over as she processed everything. The ringing felt distant, and she could barely comprehend the woman’s words. The humiliation, the anger, the pain—it all melded into a haze. Her consciousness flickered in and out, making it hard to focus on anything but the overwhelming embarrassment. “Answer it! Let’s see who you really are!” the woman demanded, pressing the phone to Sylvia Luke’s ear. Through the haze, S

    “Hello?” a man’s voice cut into the conversation. Sylvia Luke’s brow knitted in confusion. “Who are you?” she asked, sensing the shift in tone. “I’m the officer handling Miss Emily Anthony’s case. Are you her workplace friend?” he asked, his voice professional yet firm. “Yes,” she replied, anxiety bubbling in her chest. “Okay, your friend borrowed a sum of one million dollars from a lady over the past two months and has refused to pay. Can you come to our station?” the officer explained. Sylvia Luke’s mind raced. A million dollars? What had Emily Anthony gotten herself into? “Where is your office located?” she asked, struggling to keep her voice steady. “Downhills Local Area,” the officer replied.

    She scrolled down to the comment section, her heart sinking further as she read the barrage of supportive messages directed at Ruth Slice.

That bitch seduces married men!” “Bitchy: Tsk tsk, you are really nice. You gave up easily! I love your courage—thumbs up! You are my role model from now on.” “Ruth Slice’s daddy: she even seduced other people’s men.
