A message came through on my husband's phone. 'Hey, baby. Hope this gets you nice and hard. Can't wait to see you tonight xoxo'. What? I was shocked! But I was even more shocked when I saw the picture. A woman in a skimpy, slutty, red lace bar. The bra was so sheer you could see her nipples. She had red lipstick, her face in a sexy pout. The woman was my husband's first love – Ellie! My husband was cheating on me? A wave of nausea washed over me. My heart raced. I felt dizzy. It was clear from the message that this wasn't the first time, either. I would never tolerate such a thing. I asked for a divorce and threw away my wedding ring. He would definitely regret it when he found out I was actually a billionaire. But so what? I don't care.

Chapter 1: The Text Message

Cassandra’s POV

Ping.

A message came through on my husband’s phone. ‘Hey baby. Hope this gets you nice and hard. Can’t wait to see you tonight. Meet at my new place? 1215 Sherbrook Drive. Xoxo’.

What?

The message was quickly followed by a picture.

It was a woman in a skimpy red lace bra. The bra was so sheer you could see her nipples. She had red lipstick, her face in a sexy pout.

I recognized the woman. It was…

Ellie.

My husband’s first love.

But how was this possible? Ellie had been in a horrific car accident many years ago. A head-on collision with a semi-truck. She’d been lucky to survive, but the accident had left her in a coma. She was a vegetable, kept alive by machines, unable to talk or move.

Jordyn had been devastated. His heart belonged to Ellie; she was his first love. His only love. He had visited her for a long time after the accident, even though she couldn’t communicate.

I’d known how much he loved Ellie, but I thought that after several years of marriage, he’d grow to love me too.

This text message, however, suggested otherwise.

Her NEW place? Something about this told me it wasn’t the first time. How long had Ellie been out of the hospital?

And more importantly, how long had Jordyn been seeing her?  

A wave of nausea washed over me. My heart raced. I felt dizzy.

I stared at the erotic picture of Ellie, speechless. But then I heard Jordyn coming out of the bathroom. I quickly tossed the phone onto the bedside stand.

He was wrapped in a towel, bare-chested, and freshly showered. He didn’t even glance at me; he just went straight for his phone. He saw the message, ran his hand through his hair, and smiled. Then he went to his wardrobe and threw on some clothes.

“Where are you going?” I asked, innocently. I knew damned well where he was going. But he didn’t know that I knew.

He turned, exasperated. “None of your business, Cassandra.”

“When will you be home?” I did my best to sound nonchalant.

“Nevermind.” He shook his head. “God. You’re so controlling. Just back off, will you?”

Without another word, he left the bedroom, slamming the door behind him

I clenched my fists.

I sat alone in the bedroom, thinking about our marriage. I recalled why we’d been married in the first place.

I’d helped Jordyn’s grandfather while I was still in college. That’s actually how I’d met Jordyn. It was love at first sight for me. He was so handsome, so smart, so sexy. But I quickly found out that he was in love in someone else. So I figured my feelings would never be reciprocated. And I was just about to drop it and force myself to move on, when Jordyn suddenly had a change of heart. Out of the blue it seemed, he wanted to marry me.

Me!

I’d been over the over the moon! Our wedding day had been picture perfect. I was the happiest girl in the world.

Until…

It became clear pretty early on in the marriage that Jordyn hadn’t married me for love. For him it was just a marriage of convenience. He needed a wife to look after him, so that’s what I did. He became even more distant, though. Cold even. He was gone a lot. Always working late. Plus his mother hated me, so that didn’t help.

Still, though, I brushed it off and tried to be the perfect housewife.

Why?

I was naïve.

I thought that if was perfect, maybe he’d grow to love me. If I doted on him, took good care of him, made all his meals, kept a nice, clean home, maybe I’d earn his respect?

It hadn’t worked. He became even more absent. His mother became even more venomous. I became miserable.

So….I suggested a divorce. Several times. I was serious. Why stay in an unhappy marriage? But he was dismissive. He scoffed at me, said I was being ‘overly dramatic.’ ‘Unreasonable.’ ‘Ridiculous’.

Then he tossed more money at me, to placate me.

It was never about the money, though. I didn’t want his money. I only wanted the one thing he was never going to give me.

His love.

The image of Ellie, in her red, lacy bra, flashed through my mind.

This was the last straw. He was cheating on me? With his first love? This was unforgivable. I had to confront him.

I had to confront both of them.

I drove to the address from the text message.  

Eillie answered the door, surprised to see me.

“Cassandra?” she asked innocently. “How lovely to see you!” She reached out to embrace me, but I waved her off.

“Stop pretending,” I told her. “I know what you and Jordyn have been doing.”

She blinked rapidly a few times. Then her expression changed. Her lips curled up into a sly smile.

“Is that so?” she cooed. “Well, you’re not surprised, are you? I mean, when was the last time you and Jordyn made love? From what I understand, he never even touches you anymore. It’s me he wants.”

She leaned in and whispered in my ear, taunting me.

“It’s ALWAYS been me.”

I was angry but I held it in. I wasn’t going to let her see me get upset. She didn’t deserve the satisfaction of knowing that she’d hurt me. That they both had.

“How long?” I asked. “How long has this been going on?”

I wanted all the facts so I could make an informed decision. I did my best to remain calm, but my mind whirled.

“He’s a MAN,” Ellie said. “He has NEEDS. Sexual needs. Needs YOU can’t satisfy.” Her tone was mocking, and sarcastic. I held in my anger. She continued. “He never loved you. He never will. You’re a nuisance to him. A nag. Always meddling in his affairs.”

I didn’t respond. Her words cut deep. I had tried, many times, to be intimate with Jordyn. I craved intimacy with him. But he’d always held me at arm’s length. Even when we were making love, he was still distant.

“Ellie, I was thinking Chinese for dinner. How does that…” It was Jordyn. He emerged from her bedroom, his shirt off.

“Jordyn?” he asked, clearly surprised to see me.  

He took one look at me and his face contorted into a look of shock.

“What are you doing here?” he asked, his voice low.

“Cut the crap,” I said. “I know everything.”

He nodded. I searched his face for guilt. But there was none.

I knew what I had to do.

“You have two choices. Either you come home with me…immediately…” I paused for effect.

“Or?” he asked, his hands on his hips.

“Or we get a divorce.”

My breath hitched. Deep down, I wanted him to come home. If we could sit down and talk about this, maybe…just maybe….we could work this out. I mean, I loved him. I really did. I was angry, yes. And hurt. But he was my husband. We could go to counselling? Try harder?

He interrupted my thoughts, though. And his next words shattered me.

“Enough,” he scoffed. “Really, Cassandra. You’re so childish.”

Childish?

And then it hit me – he was NEVER going to change. He was a condescending, arrogant, belittling asshole! At least, that’s how I felt in the moment. He had ignored me for years!

I’d been so stupid! So naïve!

Well…not anymore! This marriage was over! 

I slid my wedding ring off my finger and forced it into his hand.

“Take this ring. I don’t want it.”

“Cassandra,” he scoffed, rolling his eyes.

“Don’t talk to me,” I seethed. “Just wait for the divorce papers.”

How often are the updates? Seems like it would be an interesting read as long as the updates are consistent. Tired of starting a book only for it to be abandoned!

Chapter 2: The Stoneworth Estate
Cassandra’s POVClink. I heard the ring drop to the ground as I turned and walked away.I hopped into my car and pulled away, without even so much as a glance back.He wanted to cheat on me? Fine. He could have sex with whomever he wanted. I was done! I’d call Cameron to come and pick me up, and I’d go home. Back to the estate. Back where I belonged. I rolled down the windows and cranked up the radio. Relief flooded through me. I felt like a weight had been lifted – a Jordyn-sized weight. The wind blew through my hair and I felt free, really free.Back at the apartment, I hauled out my suitcases and a few things. I didn’t need to take everything; I could replace most of my clothes. Then I called my brother.“Hey, Cameron. It’s me. Come pick me up? I finally left Jordyn.”“Say no more. I’m on my way.”I waited for my brother in the foyer. He pulled up in a hot, red Lamborghini. He got out and rushed towards me, scooping me up into a crushing bear hug.“I can’t breathe,” I mumbled in

Chapter 3: She Doesn’t Mean It
Jordyn’s POVThe ring clattered to the ground. I stared at it for a beat, then I bent down to scoop it up. She was playing games again – Cassandra. I casually slid the ring back into my pocket.Divorce?Yeah right. How many times had she mentioned divorce? Five? Eight? Fourteen?I’d lost count.It was a ploy. Something Cassandra did when she wanted more attention. It was a childish scheme and I was tired of it. Which is why I didn’t take her threat seriously.I knew Cassandra. She didn’t mean it.“Are you okay?” Ellie asked, her eyes flooded with concern.“Just a bit rattled,” I told her. “I didn’t know Cassandra knew about us. I was shocked to see her.”“Me too,” she said, sidling up to me. I inhaled her perfume. Vanilla and rosewood, the same perfume she’d worn before the accident. I loved it. “I haven’t done anything wrong, have I?” she asked with a pout.Damn, she was so cute when she pouted like that. I ran my thumb along her lower lip.“Of course not,” I told her. “You’re perfec

Chapter 4: He hadn’t recognized me
Cassandra’s POV “Thanks Dillon.” I sighed.“Never mind, ready to enjoy your traveling?” Dillon smiled and winked at me.“Yeah, but I gotta call Stella first.” I took the calling card out and threw it in the bin and got a new one. I then called Stella on Facetime.“I’ll be gone for about a month,” I told Stella. Stella was my best friend, one of the only people I’d been able to count on through everything. I trusted her with my life, so it only made sense that I trusted her with my company. Then I gave her the rundown on all the business affairs of Hot House Flower. I’d only be gone a month, so I only told her what she needed to know. Stella had a degree in fashion, just like me. Although my degree was in design and hers was in fashion marketing. But still, I knew she was the right person to look after my company while I traveled to clear my head.“Don’t worry, Cass, I got you,” she told me, giving me a flying kiss. “Just go and heal. And when you get back, we’ll celebrate you dumpin

Chapter 5: Talks and T***s
Cassandra’s POV“Come on,” Cameron said, tugging my hand. We saw Jordyn’s figure approaching us. He just have followed us into the parkade.“Can you…just go ahead without me? To the car? I won’t be long, I promise.”Cameron studied my face. He was wary to leave me alone with Jordyn. But I wanted to handle this situation on my own. He finally relented.“Okay. But not too long. And I’ll be right over there if you need me.”“I know,” I smiled.Cameron walked away just as Jordyn approached. The parkade was well lit, and the harsh fluorescent lights shone down on Jordyn’s distraught face.“Look, we need to talk,” he said.“I agree. I assume you’ve had your lawyer look over the divorce papers,” I said.“I know you cheated on me.”Umm. What? He just ignored my comment and went straight to his own accusations. This was SO typical.“Excuse me?” I said, aghast. “Don’t even try to hide it,” he told me, his voice firm.I blinked, staring at him in disbelief.HE was the one who cheated, not me!

Chapter 6: The Banquet
Cassandra’s POVI eyed myself critically in my floor-length mirror. After a long, drawn out deliberation, this was the dress I’d chosen. A calf-length, A-line dress of emerald green silk. It cut into a halter style at the top and plunged dramatically in the back.I nodded approvingly at my reflection. The dress was, of course, one of my own designs. It was the perfect choice for the Talks and T***s banquet.It hadn’t taken me long to decide. By the time Stella and I had finished our bagels and lox, the decision was made. I would attend.Jordyn could be damned for all I cared. I wasn’t going to let him prevent me from attending this banquet. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up. Stella had agreed whole-heartedly, and we’d spent the past week ensuring that I chose the perfect dress.If I was going to run into Jordyn, I might as well look hot as hell, right?Ping.It was a text from Stella.“Good luck! Knock ‘em dead.” Heart emoji, dancing girl emoji, four-leaf clover emoji.An

Chapter 7: Mr. Cameron Stoneworth
Cassandra’s POVI felt everyone’s eyes fall on me. None of them recognized me because I never accompanied Jordyn to any events. As such, I’d been completely out of the public eye during our marriage. I’d never really been identified as his wife.Ellie’s eyes narrowed and looked at me, a malicious expression on her face.“Oh, I…um…beg your pardon,” the woman said, withdrawing her hand from Ellie.I saw the looks of confusion pass through them. If I was his wife, then why had he entered with Ellie on his arm?“I wouldn’t really call myself his wife,” I smiled politely. “Not anymore. We’re in the midst of a divorce.” I shot Jordyn a look that said ‘how dare you do that to me?’Everyone nodded, relieved that the mistaken identity had been a minor mishap. Jordyn, however, was angry.“Why are you here, Cassandra?” he asked, his eyes fixed on me.I balked.Was he really going to do this? Was he really going to make a scene in front of all these people? The group of people uncomfortably aver

Chapter 8: Hot and Heavy Kiss
Cassandra’s POVI struggled.At first, I really did.His lips pressed into mine and I struggled against him.But then…His lips were warm. Warm and familiar. The lips that I’d kissed so many times before. And despite all my anger, I felt myself unwillingly wanting his kiss.My mind screamed at me: Push him away! My mind knew better, knew that I shouldn’t let this happen. My mind wanted me to run, far away. To stop this kiss immediately.But my body?My body still wanted him. My body always had. So many nights, I’d lay awake in bed, longing for him to touch me, for his lips to kiss my hot flesh. My body wanted this kiss.My mind and my body fought hard.But my body won.I parted my lips and the kiss deepened. I tilted back my head, allowing him to kiss me passionately.It was ironic. I’d always longed for Jordyn to kiss me like this. I’d longed for it our entire marriage. Our kisses had been lifeless. Cordial. The kind of kiss you give a friend.He had passion, all right. But this pas

Chapter 9: Fight
Cassandra’s POVI whipped my head toward the voice at the door.Dillon?My jaw fell open.Dillon was the last person I expected to see here!Luckily, Jordyn was surprised, too. Surprised enough to let go of my hand. This gave me the chance to step away from him.Dillon stepped in front of me, blocking Jordyn.Jordyn was pissed off. He glared at Dillon.“Who the hell do you think you are?” Jordyn seethed.“She doesn’t want to be in here with you,” Dillon snapped back.“She’s my WIFE! Mind your own fucking business,” Jordyn said, his voice rising.I saw them both clench their fists.Shit. They were going to fight. That was the last thing I wanted.“Let’s just go,” I said, touching Dillon lightly on the shoulder. “Come on. It’s not worth it.”Dillon didn’t respond, but I could see that he was breathing heavy. He was clearly very agitated. They both were.My hand on Dillon’s shoulder must have really pushed Jordyn over the edge. His face contorted with rage. “It’s HIM, isn’t it

Chapter 10: The Birthday Party
Cassandra’s POVI laid out the suit one last time on the desk. Then I inspected it with a scrupulous eye. I wanted to ensure that every single detail was perfect, right down to the last stitch.It was a gift for Stanley Smith, Jordyn’s grandfather. I had been working on it for months. I hoped it would show him just how much I respected him, and how much I’d enjoyed our time together.I carefully placed it in a garment bag, realizing that it was probably the last gift I would ever give the old man.Once Stanley heard that Jordyn and I were getting divorced, he’d want nothing to do with me. At least, that’s what I assumed. So this birthday tonight was going to be bittersweet. I still had no idea how I was going to tell Mr. Smith that we were divorcing. But I had to face the music some time. And tonight seemed as good a time as any.Just then, there was a light knock on my office door.“Come in,” I said, and Stella entered.“Cass, we have a bit of a problem,” Stella confessed, holding ou
