The first time she met Rayan Allen was when she was only 19 years old. He was three years older than her, 22 at the time. Their first meeting was in the orphanage, where she used to volunteer. It was the same orphanage she grew up in before being adopted. Even after being adopted she frequently visited and volunteered there. Rayan was a freshly graduated student who moved from New York City to Quebec City. At first, he was just a cold, aloof, and introverted boy who occasionally volunteered alongside her and played music with orphan children. He didn't talk or interact with people much. Anthea heard from one of the sisters of the orphanage that his mother also grew up here before being adopted. However, as time went by, she started to get to know him more before ultimately falling for him. He was extremely handsome and smart while she was clumsy, dumb and talked too much. They were the total opposite of each other. She liked to talk, while he liked to listen. But they had a mutual interest in music.  The time she spent with him was like a fairy tale. Even though he was cold and aloof at first, he slowly warmed up to her. They didn't even realise when they fell for each other. He was the perfect boyfriend one could ever dream of. A true gentleman who took care of her swept her off her feet. They were young and foolishly in love. At least she was. She couldn't wait until she spent the rest of her life with him.

Even though everything was perfect for them, Anthea was unaware of his life before meeting her. She didn't know anything about his past, like who his family was, where he came from, his friends or anything. For some reason, he didn't like to talk about it. Even though she found it quite strange sometimes, she wanted to give him enough time to open up to her. After being in a relationship for three years, one day he proposed to her to marry him. To be very honest, it was too shocking and early for Anthea but she still agreed because she was so in love with him and was ready to spend the rest of her life with him.  They got married in the orphanage's church and started their own little family of two. Ryan loved music at the time, and he was aspiring to become a singer. Anthea did everything she could to support him. She was only a high school graduate and didn't attend college because she felt it wasn't necessary for her. She just wanted to take care of the most important people in her life. Her adoptive father, her adoptive brother, and her husband, Rayan. 

Yeah, she was brought into the orphanage when she was just 6 and then adopted by her adoptive father, Christian Wisley, when she was 11. He was a widower with a 3-year-old son back then. He adopted Anthea when he moved from Hamilton to Quebec after his wife died.

Everything was going well until Rayan's real identity came to light. Anthea came across a family photo of Rayan, which made him reveal his identity to her. So the man she thought was an orphan was actually an heir to a multibillion-dollar company. An elite member of New York City. His father was a well-known tech giant in the world, and he was his only son who ran away from his home to disobey his father's wish to take care of his business. His father was against his wish to pursue music, which caused a rift in their relationship. But their relationship was already strained after Rayan's biological mother died of cancer when he was 14, and his father remarried his stepmother, Camila, two years later. Rayan also had a younger sister called Amalia, who was 5 years younger than him. Camila had a daughter called Sarah from her previous marriage; she was a year older than Amalia. Somehow, Rayan's father found out about Anthea and their marriage. They failed to reach Rayan, so they reached out to her, the easy prey. Anthea, being the foolish girl she was, was moved by seeing their fake love for Rayan and failed to recognise their actual faces. She got manipulated by Rayan's family after meeting and talking to them. They begged her to talk to Rayan and reunite their son with them. They wanted her to bring him back to New York along with her where they could live as a perfect family. 

After finding out everything, Anthea didn't want Rayan to be separated from his family. So she did what she thought was right at the time. She begged Rayan to return home and be with his family. She was so moved by Camila's words that she failed to recognise the viciousness under her mask. At first, Rayan was livid after finding out they had contacted her and had a huge fight with his family. It also caused the first ever fight between Anthea and Rayan so in the end he had no choice but to give up under her persuasion.

It didn't take long for them to move to New York City, where he grew up. Anthea was over the moon when she thought she would finally have a big family and a mother like Camila. Rayan was kind and considerate enough to bring her adoptive father and brother along with them and take their responsibility. He brought them home, got a job for Christian in his company, and got her adoptive brother, Noah, into the best school in New York.

 At first, everything was like a fairy tale for Anthea. Under her persuasion, Rayan joined his father's office and finally took back his responsibility. But their marriage remained secret in the public's eyes. Why? Camila advised Anthea that it was the best thing to do. She was the best mother-in-law. The mother Anthea never had. So whatever she said, Anthea foolishly believed it. Camila asked her to move to the Allen estate so that they could spend time together as a family. Anthea, being the foolish woman she was, believed her words and begged Rayan to move into that house with his family. At that time, she remembered that he would never say no to her, so he agreed to her request to make her happy. But the moment they moved into that house, everything changed. Her downfall began on the very same day.

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Beg For Mercy   Epilogue

    "Why are we here, Rayan?" Anthea asked the moment she realised where Rayan had brought her! This was the place she dreaded coming to the most.Her father’s grave! Anthea’s mind went blank just thinking of this place. She had never visited this place in the last six years. She just couldn’t go there. Never. It had given her so many memories, sorrows, and pains, along with happiness. "Just trust me, please, baby.""But Rayan, you know I can't." Anthea shook her head; her voice sounded broken and vulnerable. Rayan quickly hugged her, rubbing her back to calm her down. "I know it's hard. But you have to be strong. You are strong. It's high time, Anthea; you need to let this heartbreak go and confront your fear. He's waiting for you, baby," Rayan encouraged while caressing her hair lightly. "You know I can't. It's too painful. I just can't face him, Rayan. How am I going to answer him? He's mad at me, I'm sure. Anthea let out a sob as tears slowly started to fall from her eyes. "Don't

    “How did it go?” Anthea asked anxiously as soon as Rayan stepped into the living room. He smiled at her before pulling her into a tight hug. “Everything went well. I have already submitted all the evidence and they are taking the case directly to the court. He wouldn't be able to escape this time.” He answered while burying his face in the crook of his neck, trying to relax. Anthea let out a sigh of relief. “Thank god! You should have taken me with you.” She expressed it heartily while hugging her arms around Rayan’s back. “No! I don't want his dirty eyes to land on you, even for a second. I will take care of everything from here while you just stay here and take care of Nevaeh and our family.” Rayan raised his head and shook it before speaking. Anthea sighed again, totally understanding his concern. “I'm glad finally it's over with the Jones and we can relax.” Anthea smiled, changing the subject as they broke the hug while walking towards the couch. No one was present in the livi

    Sebastian just got out of his car and was about to enter the Jones Corporation when a few men walked towards him before blocking his path. “Mr Jones.” One of the men called him before flashing him his ID card. Sebastian, who was surprised by the sudden unwanted visit, looked at the ID card of the man and realised they were from the Central Bureau of Investigation. “What brings you here, Officer?” Sebastian asked, trying to smile politely at them, but deep down he already had an ominous feeling rising inside his chest. “You are under arrest. Please raise your arms and cooperate with us.” The officer announced this loudly, grabbing some passersby’s attention who let out visible gasps while witnessing the scene. Sebastian was quite startled too, as he didn't expect some CBI officer to suddenly appear and tell him that he was being arrested. “What?” He looked at the officer in confusion, not understanding what was going on. “Handcuff him.” The officer ignored his words as he gestured

    After the dinner ended, everyone was sitting around and casually chatting when Roman got up from his seat before walking towards Rayan, who was talking to Elijah. “Can I talk to you for a few minutes?” Roman asked Rayan after reaching him. He excused himself from Elijah before nodding politely at Roman. “Of course.” He answered, making Roman nod. Elijah excused himself before giving them some space to talk. “Let's go somewhere quiet.” Roman offered, making Rayan nod. They were about to walk out of the VIP dining lounge when Anthea’s sudden voice stopped them. “Where are you two going?” She asked, looking at them with a frown. Rayan was about to answer her when Roman beat him to it. “Smoking!” Rayan blurted out while trying to cover something from Anthea. The moment the answer left his mouth, Anthea’s eyes narrowed as she looked at her husband with a scowl. “Rayan! I told you to quit smoking.” She glared at him, looking totally pissed. Rayan sighed as he looked at her angry expre

    “Anthea, Rayan!” Athena greeted her enthusiastically as soon as Anthea, Rayan, and Nevaeh stepped into the private dining room. “Hey!” Anthea smiled while walking towards her, while Rayan stayed behind her, holding Nevaeh. “We were waiting for you!” Athena said, smiling heartily. Anthea smiled back, her eyes shifting to Roman, Elijah, and Emilia, who were already sitting on the chairs. Emilia waved her hand slightly when she met Anthea’s gaze. “Oh my God! Is that our little princess?" Athena exclaimed in joy when she caught sight of Nevaeh, who was walking beside her father, looking like an angel. Athena was totally awestruck by the sight of Nevaeh. “Yeah!” Anthea nodded with a chuckle, while Rayan smiled. “Nevaeh, say hi to your uncles and aunts." Anthea turned around before instructing Nevaeh with a smile. She looked at her mother before looking at Athena, who was still looking at her with a smile. “Hi!” She grinned shyly while trying to hide behind her father. Rayan let out a

    “You didn't tell me you were coming here.” Rayan asked in surprise when he met Anthea in the hallway of the hospital. He was just returning after checking in with his father. He thought she would be going to the office directly after meeting Silas. “Because I knew I would find you here.” Anthea replied with a barely visible smile on her face. Rayan already noticed her dim expression, causing him to frown in concern. “Is everything okay?” He asked, walking towards her before holding her hand. Anthea glanced at him before nodding her head slightly. “Yeah. How is Mr. Allen?” She asked, trying to change the subject. Rayan also realised it but said nothing. He quietly followed her back to the VIP ward. “Better than before. He will be moved to the general word tonight after they did some last inspection.” He replied while intertwining his hands with her. “That's good news.” Anthea nodded, a genuine smile spreading across her lips at the good news. It didn't even pass 48 hours and his c
