Tristan took Phoebe home and she couldn't stop feeling happy on the inside.She felt she has really successfully crushed every soft spot Tristan might have had for Cora.And she felt that he might really take her seriously now.She just had to continue acting like a saint,the perfect saint for him.As Tristan pulled up in front of her house,she said to him with tears filled eyes."I'll be fine,Tristan.You don't have to worry.And please do forgive Cora and her friend.I'm sure they didn't mean to…""You need to stop making excuses for people.What Cora and her friend did to you is unacceptable!"Phoebe sighed,heavily and did her best to look even more pitiful.She briefly wondered what Tristan would do if he knew that she had been framing and lying against Cora all along?She quickly shook her head,shaking off that thought.He'd never find out about it.And that was why she had to get rid of Cora from his life as soon as possible."I…still love you, Tristan."She confessed wanting to move
*CORA*Those words seemed to hit him hard and he just stared at me wide- eyed.I scoffed.I will never let him see how much his actions were hurting me.Phoebe chipped in."Tristan,I don't want to live in her room.I think it might be dirty…""Dirty?"I laughed."That's rich coming from you because you seem to accept all kinds of trash in the form of a man.""You…"Phoebe glared at me and then turned to face Tristan."Tristan,she's never going to change,she's so mean.She sees you as trash."I'm pretty sure Tristan heard that.She didn't need to explain it to him but if she needed to hurt him more with my words,then so be it.*****************TRISTAN*I was nothing but trash to her?Did she see me as trash the entire time we were married?She said I was something she didn't want anymore.Wow.This woman never ceases to surprise me.And the more vile things I found about her,the more vile things I wanted to do to her.Bringing Phoebe into this house was part of it.I was so going to torment
Phoebe was confused.She had placed this jade in Cora's bag.How did it end up in her bag?!"No.It's impossible.I was framed!"She cried out and grabbed Tristan's hand."You know I can't do something like this,Tristan.I was framed!""Miss Phoebe,you have to take responsibility for this."The manager said.Phoebe almost broke down into tears.She looked up to Tristan."Trust me,Tristan.I didn't take it."******************TRISTAN*Of course I knew that Phoebe couldn't do something like that.I recalled how Cora's friend had cornered her when I walked in.I stared at Zoe."As if what the other friend of yours did the other day wasn't enough,you had to stoop so low as well."Zoe frowned at me."What are you talking about."Cora walked up to us."You know what you two did."I shot at them.*********************CORA*How dare he accuse Zoe and I of doing this to Phoebe?We were psychotic like Phoebe even if he was too blind to see that.My chest tightened.It turned out that he saw me as a very b
*CORA*It was already 6:30 when I finished my work and came back home.Winnie had already prepared dinner.When I came back,I too Lily for a brief walk.While having dinner alone,I looked around the big room.It was empty and sad.It was so quiet that I could hear nothing but the sound of eating.After dinner,I took a shower.Lying on the bed,I was reading abnormal psychology.Yeah, it was necessary for me to study psychology so I could deal with a psycho like Phoebe.*************TRISTAN*I was buying a new car with Phoebe.I looked down at my Rolex watch on my lift hand from time to time.It was 6:15.We had been out for an hour.Phoebe was choosing a car and she was taking forever to do so.Phoebe came around and kissed me on the cheek.I just forced a smile at her.I was doing all I could to feel an attraction for this woman.I felt that she was perfect for me.She wouldn't go sleeping around or causing trouble like Cora but even after all her characteristics,I still couldn't even think o
*TRISTAN*"She did that purposely."Phoebe let out."Did what?""Pretended as if she was about to vomit.She definitely implied that you and I are disgusting."I sighed."Let's just eat and go to work."I didn't want to deal with Cora right now.Even if I felt her behavior was very exaggerated,I didn't find it enough to argue with him.Part of the reason why Phoebe was in this house was because I wanted to get a reaction from Cora.I wanted to see if she never ever considered me as her husband and so far,it seemed she didn't.She was okay with Phoebe's presence in this house.When Cora walked into the dining room,I noticed how pale she was.She might not be pretending afterall."Are you okay?"Yeah.I didn't mean to interrupt you two's breakfast.You can go on without me."With that,she walked off.Was she sick?**************CORA*The more I smelled oil,the worse I felt.I didn't want to have greasy food.I came to a conclusion to go to the hospital to get checked up once I was chanced.Befor
*CORA*The sense of failure was magnified infinitely,as if it was about to explode in my mind.I had no choice but to continue sorting out my contract with Dylan.I tried to numb my nerves by working hard.Before I decided to cooperate with Dylan,I had some scruples before.After all,I knew that Dylan would occasionally show affection to me,but he was just a friend to me.A very good friend.He didn't make things awkward at all though.I could only hope that I had misunderstood my friend's kindness by thinking too much.I was going to accept the offer of being a manager of the newly opened supermarket of Dylan's company.On one hand,I could improve my ability to,on the other hand,I had wanted to expand new market for my company and evade Tristan's control as soon as possible.Now,I loved and hated Tristan,but at the same time,I missed and was afraid of him.But I didn't dare to express my feelings.What was the use of telling him?It was just that my self-esteem would continue to be trampl
*TRISTAN*I raised my head during the meal.The atmosphere was so weird.It was like a showdown.I had decided to keep Phoebe around.Afterall,because of the nature of my family,I would need a wife and an heir someday and Phoebe was like the best candidate for me right now.She was someone who wouldn't give me much trouble.I caught a glimpse of Cora's face which looked much haggard than I had seen yesterday.My heart twitched.Obviously,I didn't love her but I still felt sad to see her like this.Even if I didn't say anything,I could feel her grievance.But she didn't say anything to show how aggrieved she was.In the past three years,Cora had been so obedient to me.She was a good wife.But then she had found the divorce papers in my room,papers I had prepared years ago and forgotten and she stated she wanted a divorce.When did it go wrong?Was it when she got involved with Alvin?When did she even start seeing him?How long had they been seeing each other?I was so fucking curious.And
*TRISTAN*My heart sank.Cora's response made me feel an headache.She had just accepted my arrangement without arguing as if everything that happened today meant nothing to her.I had thought she would reject it but she accepted so smoothly,it was beyond my expectation.As expected,she really wanted nothing to do with me.*******************CORA*As soon as I left the company,my suppressed feelings erupted.I didn't want to talk to anyone.Although I had pretended to be nonchalant and cold in front of him but I was very broken.I drove my car between the traffic,tears streaming down my eyes,uncontrollably.Why was I crying?Because I felt wronged,tired and sad.The car was only a few hundred meters away,and I could no longer see the road in front of me.I had to pull over by the roadside.Unfortunately,a traffic policeman came up to me.The policeman knocked on the window but I didn't want to open the door.He then used a loud speaker to shout outside."Hello,Miss.You can't park her
*CORA*When I walked into the dining table with Lily.I saw the crabs and crayfish on the table.The meal was mouthwatering."Winnie,come eat with me.It'll be such a waste if I can't finish everything."I invited Winnie to dine with me."Thank you,Cora but I've had breakfast already."She rejected.I smiled and didn't push her.After washing my hands,I picked up a crayfish and began to eat.My appetite became better,and it seemed that my emaciated condition did not not continue to deteriorate.This was a good sign.I thought that I would starve to death because i couldn't eat all the time.Afterall,man was iron and rice was steel.Fortunately,I had appetite to eat now.Lily crouched down and looked at me with her big watery eyes.Taking a look at Lily,I couldn't help asking."Winnie, has Lily eaten yet?"Winnie raised her head and replied."Yes.Don't let it have any more,Cora."Nodding,I said in a playful tone."Lily,Winnie said that you can have any more because you already had breakfast,
As soon as Tristan saw Alvin and Cora conversing in the hall,he frowned deeply and walked up to her,grabbing her by the arm.He gave Alvin a warning look and then tugged Cora away."How many times will I tell you to stop fooling around with other men?"Cora glared at him."You came here with Phoebe but I'm the one fooling around?"Tristan looked embarrassed. This was not the Cora he knew."Cora." It had been a long time since Tristan called her that calmly.Cora's heart was throbbing. This dangerous man was so terrible that she could be moved by his one word.Raising her head,she had a charming face. She wasn't expecting what Tristan would say next."As long as you behave well and don't cause me any trouble, I will give you a large sum of compensation after our divorce is announced." He looked gentle, but his words were chilling.Compensation! It turned out that no matter what, their relation was a deal. There was no need to pretend."Okay, I understand." The stubborn look on her face
*CORA*After returning to the company,I went to my father's office to report the recent progress of my cooperation with Dylan.It turned out that my dad was already seeing Dylan in another light."My dear,I know you and Dylan has been friends for years,but be honest,what do you think of him?"I frowned and curled my lips."What should I think of him?"I feigned ignorance as if I didn't know what he was talking about.My dad sat upright and said."I think he'll make a good partner for you.He is so much better than that Tristan.""Dad,I'm not in the mood of think about that now.Dylan is just one of my friends and a business partner now.That's all I see him as."I said, firmly."Go ahead with your work then."He said with a smile.I went back to my office and revised the profit allocation of the previous contract.I thought that I would sign the contract soon.Finally, the first step to get a better standing in my company was to get rid of Tristan.But why couldn't I feel happy?I was still e
*CORA*When I opened the door, I looked up at the living room and saw that Phoebe was sitting on the leather sofa as if she was waiting for me.There was no sign of Winnie.Maybe she had gone to bed.Afterall,it was so late.Raising my eyebrows, I thought something bad was going to happen.I didn't want to talk to Phoebe so I went straight to the second floor.As soon as I was about to take the first step upstairs.I heard Phoebe's voice."Cora,thank you so much for your understanding,today.You didn't say anything to hurt Tristan and I."I rolled my eyes and turned around."Even if I'm in dire straits.I won't do anything unscrupulous like you."Phoebe frowned and let out in an angry voice."Stop pretending.You're so downcast yet you're acting so proud.Do you even know what's going on with you?Don't you understand ‘find shelter under other's roof'?"Hearing that,I was stunned.There was an indescribable indifference in my eyes."Well, we're the same.Don't you live under other people's roof
Without saying anything,Cora started the engine. The restaurant was not far away from his supermarket, so they arrive there soon.Dylan got off the car and stood at the roadside. "Drive slowly when you go back, Sara."Cora nodded.She had always knew that Dylan was so considerate.He watched Cora drive away until she was out of sight. Then he went to the supermarket which was being decorated.Dylan took the packaged food to the construction workers hadn't eaten yet, so after handing it to them,He left. Several workers exclaimed that the food was delicious.He was in a good mood today. Unexpectedly, when he came to the supermarket, he met Cora. The two had stayed together for a long time. Dylan could not help recalling the blush on Cora's face. Her side face, Her beautiful curve., She was so beautiful.Cora had to go to the company. She hadn't been there the whole morning, and there were a lot of documents waiting for her to review.As soon as she arrived at the company, her assistant t
