Bethany pulls back from his protective and quite reassuring hug, crosses her arms, and bites her lip. “And now the media is going to come after us. They’ll tie this to Campbell Conglomerate… to me.” Her voice wavers, but she takes a deep breath, trying to maintain composure, to show them all that she can still be rational.

Her life is the perfect example of no rest and the idiom ‘from frying pan, to fire’. She only just got out of the frying pan the day before only to end up with a good night’s sleep, the unknowing short trip into the fire.

Arthur pulls her close once again, his arm around her shoulders. “We’ll deal with whatever comes. We have nothing to hide. They will not be able to pin anything except trashy circumstantial sayings and whatever trashy media they try to come up with, we’ll control it. Unlike with Millicent because she was an actress, this is pretty controllable. No one wants to be sued.”

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   To Let a Little Loose

    Bethany steps into the house, her thoughts still tangled in the events of the day.The police station they are just returning from, Kevin’s death, the ongoing investigation, it all feels heavy on her shoulders. Arthur walks beside her, his presence steady and grounding. They haven’t said much to each other since they left the station, but his hand has been holding hers the entire time, providing silent comfort. One that oddly enough, she finds herself needing.As they close the door behind them, Martha appears at the end of the hallway, her expression gentle but concerned. “Bethany,” she says softly, “can I have a moment with you?”Bethany looks at Arthur with a curious eyes, but he only gives her an encouraging nod. “Go ahead,” he says. “I’ll be upstairs, getting some things ready.”With that, Bethany follows Martha down the hallway.They pass the living room, where the sound of the television playing softly echoes in the background. Martha leads her to her room on the ground floor,

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Off For a Visit

    Bethany and Arthur lay side by side on the soft grass, the warmth of the sun sinking into their skin as a gentle breeze rustled the faraway trees around them.For a while, they simply enjoy the silence, the serenity of being away from all the noise and complications of the world. The tennis court they had just left was a distant memory, and the day felt lighter, easier, as they basked in the quiet moments between them.Arthur and Bethany lay side by side on the bench, basking in the cool breeze that brushes over them.The lighthearted laughter from their tennis match fades into a comfortable silence. The peace of the moment feels like a small escape from everything, but the silence, however comfortable, only makes their minds wander back to the places they did not want to go.After a short, silent while, Bethany breaks the silence, her voice soft and thoughtful. “Arthur,” she begins, her eyes fixed on the sky, “are you not worried about Daisy? With John in detention at the police stati

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Fury and Smiles.

    Downstairs, the silence, getting longer and worse by the seconds passing, between Daisy and Arthur thickens like a fog, heavy and oppressive. Arthur sits rigid in his chair, staring at the glass of water in his hand, his fingers wrapped tightly around the cool surface as though it could somehow calm the storm brewing inside him.It doesn’t.Something about being here, in front of Daisy, seeing how older she has gotten from all of her poor life choices, everything just makes him boiling hot on the inside.He glances up at Daisy, her expression a mixture of nervousness and guilt, her hands wringing the dish towel over and over as if she could twist her own anxiety out of existence. She had picked it back up seeing that there was nothing to do with her hands, and a nervous tic.But Arthur’s patience has long since worn thin.“Have you even seen Charles lately?” Arthur’s voice cuts through the silence like a blade, sharp and demanding. “Does he know that Quinn’s assaulter has been caught?

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Mentally Ill, Physically Drunk.

    The tires of the car crunched softly on the driveway as Arthur and Bethany pulled up in front of Charles’s house.The silence in the car had been comfortable but as soon as they drove in through the unmanned gates, their silence became thick with the worries that neither of them wanted to voice but they can both see it either way.Bethany glanced out of the window, her eyes scanning the empty, lifeless shell of what had once been her matrimonial home. The sense of worry that hung over her had been growing stronger ever since they left Daisy’s house, but now, seeing the state of Charles’s place, it is almost unbearable.The small garden on the side of the house, the same one Bethany had painstakingly tended to when she had lived here is now a withered patch of dry, brown earth, no single sight of a green leaf or any colors at all. The rose bushes she had once pruned with care were now shriveled husks, lifeless and brittle. It was as if the neglect that had consumed Charles had seeped i

    Arthur’s patience snapped. He grabbed Charles by the collar, his fingers digging into the fabric as he shook him violently. From side to side, head to toe, he shook him hard, hoping against hope that he’ll become sober.The movement was erratic, fueled by frustration and anger, as if he thought shaking Charles hard enough would somehow snap him back into reality. But Charles remained a dead weight, his body flailing uselessly as his eyes flickered open in a drunken stupor."Wake up!" Arthur growled, his voice rising. "Get it together, Charles! This isn't the time for you to be out of it! Your wife is passed out from whatever reason and you are piss drunk?"But Charles wasn’t responding. His eyes remained glazed, his head lolling to one side, completely detached from the chaos unfolding around him. Arthur shook him one more time, a desperate attempt to bring him back to his senses, but it was no use. He swore under his breath, feeling his muscles tense with the mounting frustration.Fi

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Married Life, Blissful Life.

    Bethany sat quietly by Alexa’s side in the hospital room, watching her closely.The beeping of the heart monitor and the sterile scent of disinfectant filled the air, creating an already uncomfortable atmosphere for someone like Bethany who does not like the smell and even though she tries to not have reasons to be at a hospital, she can’t seem to help it.Alexa’s eyelids flutter briefly before she finally opens her eyes. Her gaze is blurred and unfocused at first, as though she is trying to adjust to the bright white hospital lights above. When her vision finally clear, she notices Bethany sitting there, her expression filled with concern and relief that she has woken up.“Alexa, are you awake?” Bethany leaned forward, her voice soft but laced with worry. “How do you feel? Are you okay? I hope you don’t feel hurt anywhere?”Alexa frowned, confused.She blinked a few times and slowly looked around, realizing she was in a hospital bed. The room was unfamiliar, the sterile white walls an

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Two cases, Two Evidences.

    Arthur drummed his fingers lightly against the steering wheel as he maneuvered the car through the rush hour traffic. The Brooklyn skyline stretched ahead, the warm glow of the early evening sun casting its light all over the city.The day had been so damn long, filled with tension and unexpected revelations, and for the first time in hours, specifically since they left the tennis court, he could finally breathe, alone in the car with his wife.Beside him, Bethany stared out of the window, her mind still occupied by everything that had happened at the hospital with Charles and Alexa. The weight of family conflicts and buried emotions was exhausting. She sighed softly, rubbing her temples unconsciously.Arthur glanced at her and smirked. “You look like you’re having a very dramatic internal monologue within yourself.”Bethany turned to him, a small chuckle escaping her lips. “Oh, trust me, the drama inside my head right now could rival a trending soap opera.”Arthur laughed. “Then it’s

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   To Love, To Hate.

    The next morning, Bethany woke up to the scent of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of birds faintly chirping outside the window or from Arthur’s morning playlist. A sleepy smile tugged at her lips as she stretched beneath the soft sheets, taking in the peaceful moment before her mind reminded her of Arthur’s infuriating secrecy about their honeymoon.She turned over and found Arthur already out of bed, though the warmth on his side of the mattress still lingered. As if on cue, the bedroom door creaked open, and there he was, holding two steaming mugs of coffee. His gaze softened when he saw her just waking up.“Good morning, sleeping beauty,” Arthur greeted, stepping closer and handing her a mug.Bethany accepted it, sighing in contentment at the first sip. “Mmm. Okay, you’re forgiven for keeping secrets, just as long as the coffee effects last though.” she murmured, eyes still half closed.Arthur chuckled. “That easy? Maybe I should have brought coffee last night when you were gril

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Fake Blonde Man Visits

    It takes about an hour.One long, slow, silent hour between the couple.Bethany stubbornly keeps her back turned toward Arthur, stewing in her own complicated swirl of already fake anger and her pride not wanting to speak first.Bethany tries.God, she tries to stay mad at him but...For a full hour, she gives Arthur the full on, patented silent treatment, staring stubbornly at the wall on the other side of thr bed, answering in one word grunts if he so much as breathes too loudly so he’ll catch himself from disturbing her ‘sleep’.But she’s very terrible at it.She’s always been terrible at it when it came to people she loved.She cracks before the sixty minute mark, because when she finally turns her head, awkwardly and carefully because of the neck brace, she sees him sitting at the very edge of her hospital bed.Not looking at her.Not doing anything visible to her.Just… sitting there by the bedside.Palms flat on the mattress. Head bowed.Like he’s waiting to be sentenced. He do

    The hallway is dim and seemingly never ending. Just like is her job to do this once in a while, she is going to do it once again before clocking out of work for the day.Ana Yang walks briskly down the sterile, silver lit corridor of Unique Auditing’s private floor. Her heels click sharply against the marble tile, echoing between the glass walls and chrome doors, ignoring everyone she meets on her way since she has one single focus in mind, do this and get the hell out of here.She clutches a thick folder to her chest, filled with updates, invoices, coded communications. The usual weapons of their currently losing war, she’ll be dropping off the file with the ceo before leaving.Ahead of her, the double doors to the CEO's office loom like the gates of some modern day hell.She swipes her keycard.The lock clicks and the doors swing open.Inside, the room is dim, only thin shafts of light cutting across the floor from narrow windows.And, as always, the swivel chair behind the vast mah

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   "Stand the fuck up."

    The fourth day in the hospital after the blast seemed just as bleak as the first three days that had come and gone, waiting for Bethany to wake up and open her eyes to absolutely no avail.Arthur hasn’t left her side. Not once, making sure to make sure that she is attended to every single time and cleaning her unconscious body every morning and night.The nurses have stopped trying to convince him to take a break and go home or something. At this point, he’s more permanent than the IV drip standing by her bedside. Martha comes and goes, bringing fresh clothes, home cooked meals that Arthur barely touches, whispered encouragements he barely hears but nods smilingly at anyway, the old woman already has too much on her neck so Arthur always manages to persuade her to go back home as well each time.He sits beside her now, as he has for four days, one hand curled over Bethany’s motionless fingers, holding them as though he is using his body’s warmth to remind her of the way back to him, b

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   To Choose... Blood or Blood.

    Time slows.Bethany’s fingers brush the handle of the driver’s side door just as the second beep-beep fades into the air. A bird chirps from the lamp post above the lot. The wheels of a nearby shopping cart squeal as someone exits the pharmacy across the road. Arthur opens his mouth to say something…And the world erupts.BOOM.It’s not just a noise., it’s a force. A living, monstrous thing that tears through air, glass, and metal like paper. The car explodes in a big explosion of fire and shrapnel, its roof splitting, hurling into the sky. The windshield vaporizes in a white hot flash and for the person standing right next to the explosion...Bethany is thrown violently backward. Not a stumble. Not a fall. She is launched into the air like a ragdoll and what goes up, always comes down.Her body hits the ground very hard. The sound is sickening, skin on pavement, ribs crunching, skull cracking and the audible sound of all of it.Then stillness.Alarms scream in every direction. The

    The man walks in front of the station like he’s trying not to walk into a landmine, slow, tentative steps. He stops at the top of the stairs, takes one deep sigh, rubs his weak looking eyes and takes the few more steps into the building.He does not take big strides and no waving hands. Just quiet, precise steps through the front doors of the Precinct, wearing a weather beaten hoodie and jeans that have seen better years. His eyes are the kind that don’t blink enough, too haunted to remember how.Or at least that is what it looks like to whoever cares to give him a glance.At the front desk, Officer Laney gives him the once over. She’s halfway through sipping her third iced latte when she asks, “Can I help you sir?”The man doesn’t answer at first, first choosing to check if she is a police officer since she is in civilian clothes, then seeing her badge in her hands, he sighs audibly before responding, saying…“I need to talk to someone. Someone in charge of a particular case here.”L

    Rumors begin less than three days later.Apparently, grabbing a cup of coffee with a beautiful female Major is grounds for rumors, and even people whom you don’t know who begin to study your every move. The rumors, with truths in them however, rage on the barracks.They spread like heat on dry bush. Fast, wild and pretty much unstoppable. A Major seen sneaking smiles at a Lieutenant during drills, the same Lieutenant caught slipping out of the officer's quarters too early in the morning.Chara doesn’t as much as flinch when she hears then, she’s pretty much used to the weight of judgment.Chara doesn’t pretend to care, not at all.She keeps her chin high, her stride sharp like the boss lady that she is, like no one dares say it to her face, because they really do not dare say it to her face.But Mason hears it.He hears them and unlike Chara with her own steely indifference, he is not indifferent to it.And it gets harder to ignore, mostly because it is not all about him but her.Mason

    It is a new day on the barracks, the morning frills are done and so are evening ones, it’s just past the time for everyone to have dinner but someone is not headed to the cafeteria for food.The knock on the door announces his arrival to his caller.Major Chara’s office is dimly lit but bright enough fir the time of the day, considering she is in the male fields, she knows just how to be careful enough to not have too much light on, not too much to help the stalkers peek through the window at her perfectly figured body. She’s currently halfway through dressing, uniform pants already snug around her waist, boots laced to perfection, but her shirt still hanging on the back of a chair.“Come in,” Chara calls, her voice calm.She doesn’t bother rushing. She knows exactly who it is and why she has sent for him.The door opens, and then nothing.No footsteps. No greeting.Just silence from who it is that stands at the door.Private First Lieutenant Mason Campbell.She turns slightly, still

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Final Judgement

    The courtroom is brightly lit, smells like polished wood and paper and different, different smells of perfumes and cologne.It's still early in the morning, the sun barely slanting through the tall and somewhat dusty windows, but the room is already full, a lot of people seem to be quite interested in the case and other than that, there are also students who have come to just witness one and some other purposeful individuals, albeit, the courtroom is filled. The silence is thick, every cough or chair scrape feeling louder than it should because every sound that is not inevitable is not allowed in the court, it should always be bone silent and they all try to keep to the rule, although the silence can feel a bit suffocating but they can’t help it.At the defense table, John Worth stands stiffly, his head cast downwards staring at his feet or at the floor, either, wearing the same annoyingly orange jumper he has worn to every hearing in the past week.His hands rest by his sides, fisted

He passes the front desk, the vending machines, the bulletin board with the crooked missing persons flyer... all of it feeling a little more annoying than usual.For the first time in a very long time, he regrets his job and for once wishes that he was in a position of power to refute the corrupt order that he is about to go ahead and act out.
