***** THAT SAME DAY

Bethany seethed with rage in her home, her anger fueled by Fred's latest stunt.

She glanced at her phone and saw the incriminating pictures he had leaked to the media.

Why did this have to happen all of a sudden? Everything was going smoothly before they came back to haunt her.

Fred must be stupid to involve the media and humiliate her like this. What does he want from her?

And with this scandal, was Chantel ever going to return her son after seeing the compromising pictures of her and Fred?

Her phone rang, shrill in the silence. It was her boss from the finance company where she worked as a manager.

Apparently, it was against company policy to be embroiled in a personal scandal. For all she knew, she had a lot of explaining to do.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, jolting her out of her thoughts. She went to open the door, her frown turning into an angry stare. It was Dean at the door.

"What are you doing here?" she asked immediately, her voice laced with annoyanc

    NEXT DAY – 7 PM Bethany adjusted her black, sleeveless gown and let her fingers graze the soft fabric. Her reflection in the mirror stared back, her hair cascading over her shoulders, framing her exquisite features. Tonight was the one-year anniversary of Avery and her husband’s marriage—a milestone Bethany had missed two years ago. She smiled faintly, though the ache of those years apart from Fred’s family lingered. Avery had been more than just a sister-in-law; she was her confidante, the one who sought her advice and found comfort in her presence. It was time to see her again—her “water sister,” as they’d called each other in jest. Satisfied with her appearance, she grabbed her purse, her heart pounding lightly, and headed to her car. HART'S MANSION The towering Hart mansion loomed in the distance as Bethany pulled into the driveway. Memories she’d tried to bury clawed their way back to the surface. This was the place where she’d been humiliated, broken, before fleeing to F

    Bethany punched Fred’s back, pounding her fists as he carried her over his shoulder. "Put me down, you jerk!" she yelled, her voice cutting through the night. Fred ignored her protests, his stride purposeful. When they reached his car, he finally set her down, trapping her between his arms, her back pressed firmly against the cool metal of the car. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" she shouted, her chest heaving with rage. "Let me go!" Fred leaned in closer, his grip unyielding, his eyes bloodshot with fury. "What the hell do you think you’re doing? Who invited you, huh?" His voice was a sharp growl, laced with the disgusting scent of alcohol. Bethany winced, her nose scrunching. "You’re drunk! Let me go!" Fred’s hand caught her chin, forcing her to look at him as his voice dropped to a menacing whisper. "Two years, Bethany. Two fucking years, and you're already smooching some guy." His nose brushed against hers, the intimate moment clashing with the venom in his tone.

    Bethany’s jaw tightened as she heard the familiar voice. It was KATE, FRED'S MOTHER. The woman who had been humiliating her in her own home for months, immediately after Fred was sent to a business meeting and placed her in the family house and treated her terribly. “Oh my God! What are you doing here?" Kate exclaimed, her tone dripping with mock surprise. She removed her glasses, biting her lip as if relishing the moment. "You never changed, sweetheart." Bethany’s stomach churned. the woman who had tormented her for months. while she was married to Fred. She had turned her home into a living hell constantly belittling her, pressuring her to get pregnant again, and planting doubts about Jason's paternity. Worse, Fred always took Kate's side, falling for her fake tears. Kate's smirk widened as she threw a bundle of cash to a group of boys loitering in the corner. "Boys! Thank you very much," she said dismissively, watching them scurry off like trained dogs. She turned back to Beth

She rested her head lightly on his shoulder, offering him a warm, almost teasing smile.“This is the man after my heart….Dean,” she said, her voice soft but steady.Avery, standing nearby, gawked at the two of them, her eyes wide with disbelief. “Wait... is this for real?” she asked, her voice laced with both surprise and amusement. “I can’t believe it—you actually found someone to love you, Bethany. And it’s Dean!” She laughed and stepped closer to them, clearly trying to process the scene before her.Bethany forced a smile. “Yes, Avery,” she replied with mock confidence. “It’s not so hard. I’m a single lady in the market, after all.”Beaming with excitement, Avery squealed and quickly pulled out her phone from the pocket of

    Fred’s frantic question made his tongue twist as he avoided meeting Bethany’s piercing gaze. She stood firm, arms crossed, waiting for an answer.A smirk tugged at Fred’s lips, curling into a sly, almost triumphant smile. “If you ask me,” he said slowly, “he’s too uncomfortable to give you back.”Bethany’s patience snapped. “Could you stop it, Fred? This isn’t something to discuss outside the company walls!”But Bethany wasn’t ready to back down. She straightened her posture and replied, “He can answer here. He’s not afraid to face you, and he’ll accept the partnership offer.”Fred scoffed, leaning against his car. “Oh, sure. The girlfriend speaks for him now? Classic.” His smirk widened. “PS: Get ready….this girlfriend is about to land back in my lap!”He winked at Bethany before sliding into his car and speeding off.Bethany’s gaze dropped to the ground as questions raced through her mind. Has Fred always been this insufferable? Of course, he had always been an egocentric man, but t

    SWISS HOTELBethany arrived at her office, hoping the issue was financial and not related to her personal life.She made her way into Malcolm's office and found him fuming, sitting in his chair and glaring at her.She greeted him with a forced smile to maintain her composure. “Good morning, Mr. Malcom. I thought I wasn’t allowed into the office for two days!”He stood abruptly, slamming his hand on the desk. “You disobeyed me!”Bethany flinched, raising her hands slightly in a calming gesture. “I can explain, Mr. Malcom!”He stormed toward her, pointing a finger aggressively. “So you did it? Go on, confess! Confess now!” Her brows furrowed in confusion as her lips parted. “Confess to what?”“To giving Dean’s files to Fred! I told you to stay away from Fred, and now you’ve leaked the secrets of Dean’s company!”Bethany was stunned by the accusation. It seemed absurd and baseless.She placed a hand on her chest, shaking her head. “I can’t believe you’re accusing me of stealing files. I

    Her voice cracked, trembling as she struggled to process the man’s words. Her heart raced, pounding in her chest as fear and panic surged through her. “What… where are you?” she stammered, barely able to speak.“I accidentally pushed Jason down the stairs,” the man admitted, his voice shaking. “You need to come to their mansion—no one’s at home!”The air left her lungs.

She wasn’t bluffing when she said she’d do it.Fred’s eyes widened in shock, caught completely off guard by her impulsive act.“Bethany!” he shouted, racing toward the pool.

She wants to die!” Chantel screamed, her voice trembling with urgency.Fred ignored Chantel’s plea, dragging a soaked and trembling Bethany out of the water.

    FLASHBACK5 YEARS AGOBethany stumbled through the hotel hallway, her clothes torn and heels clutched in her hands. Her heart pounded in her chest, a cold sweat gathering on the back of her neck. The sounds of her pursuers echoed behind her, footfalls heavy and urgent."Get her!" a voice yelled from down the corridor.Panic surged through her, but she didn't stop running.She darted left into a side hallway and spotted a door, room 540, just ahead. She didn’t hesitate—she threw her shoulder against it, forcing it open, and locked it behind her.Gasping for breath, Bethany collapsed against the door, sliding down to the floor, her hands trembling. She kicked off her heels, eyes scanning the room. She could still hear the footsteps of the men searching outside. They wouldn’t give up easily.Bethany straightened up, looking around frantically. Her eyes landed on the bathroom door, and she rushed toward it. Before she could even test the lock, she froze.A man stood before her, barely

    IT WAS NEGATIVE!Fred let out a relieved sigh before punching the air with happiness. "Yes! Yes! I knew she would never do it!" he exclaimed, his face lighting up with joy.He had been noticing Bethany’s recent blackouts, her frequent headaches, and the condom incident—it all seemed to point to the possibility of pregnancy. Now, the test results confirmed otherwise.From behind him, Bethany’s voice interrupted his moment of triumph. "Hey! The doctor said he gave you my results!"Fred froze, his eyes widening in panic. Quickly, he shoved the test result into his pocket before spinning around with a feigned look of innocence. "Oh yeah! He just handed me this!" He extended a random paper to her, trying to act casual.Bethany took the paper with a confused look, then glanced at him. "Why are you sweating so much?"Fred stammered, "Huh... aren’t you going to check that? That’s the reason I brought you to the hospital!"Bethany smirked slyly and tucked the paper into her bag.

    7:00 AM"Ahh!" She yelled, springing up from her bed.It was all a dream! But why did it have to be about Fred? Sitting up straight, she placed her feet on the ground and let her gaze drift to the golden card on the table."Argh! This card is driving me nuts!" she groaned.Then she remembered—Dean had postponed the trip by five days. But why was she dreaming about it?With a sigh, she walked toward the kitchen to grab a glass of water, only to freeze when she saw Dean and Natalie there. Quickly, she hid behind the wall.Peeking around the corner, she watched as Dean grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge while Natalie continued eating her food.Dean suddenly broke the silence. "Are you going to keep stuffing your mouth with food you didn’t pay for?"What? Did Dean really just say that? It didn’t surprise her, but it disappointed her deeply.Natalie remained unfazed, her gaze fixed on her food.Dean, however, didn’t relent. "One mistake, and I’ll have you thrown out of this house. T

    NEXT MORNINGIt had been two days since Stacy's death, and just one since Fred revealed the chilling truth about Dean.Bethany couldn’t get it out of her mind. She had been trying to avoid Dean, using work as a convenient excuse, but he kept pushing—after all, she had agreed to be his girlfriend. And now, there was no escaping him.She pulled on a black gown, layered a coat to ward off the cold, and left for work, her mind swirling with thoughts she couldn’t silence.As she neared the Swiss Hotel, a familiar car pulled up beside her.Dean. He stepped out, a devilish grin already spreading across his face."What’s he doing here?" she muttered, her heart racing in her chest.Suppressing her immediate unease, she wore a smile on her face and opened her arms to greet him. Dean wasted no time in pulling her into a tight embrace, spinning her around before pulling away just enough to caress her cheek.“It’s been way too long since we kissed, babe. Work, work, work! But don’t worry,” he wi

    Her mind raced as she tried to free her hands and run away, but he held her back.Before she could make another move, she heard a thud to the ground and saw that Fred had already taken care of the guy."Oh my God!" she gasped, breathing heavily.Fred blew air across his knuckles and smirked. "You're welcome, princess! Or do I see that you’ve already punched him?"Raising her brows, she couldn’t fathom that he was mocking her when she had just fought for her life."You’re insufferable! Crying prince!" she yelled, throwing her bag at him. The contents spilled out onto the floor.IT WAS CONDOMS!Fred’s eyes widened, and he quickly darted his gaze away, raking his hair in embarrassment.Bethany, mortified, wished the ground would swallow her whole. What she had been trying so desperately to hide had just been exposed by Fred.Dean had told her to buy it but not for them. It was strange! "I... I..." She scratched her face and bent down to pick up the condoms.Fred stared away, his foot on

    Fred widened his eyes in shock and surprise. Stacy? Dead? That couldn’t be possible."Are you serious? Is Stacy really dead?" Bethany asked, her heart pounding with fear.The staff member caught her breath, gesturing nervously with her hands. “One of the staff found her in a pool of blood behind the building. She was shot in the head!”“Oh my God!” Bethany exclaimed, her voice trembling.“ What the hell is happening in this company? " Fred stood up abruptly, grabbed his coat, and barked, “Don’t let this situation alarm the customers. Get back to work; I’ll handle it!”He marched toward the door but paused, turning back to Bethany. “Are you coming?”She shook her head violently, waving her hands dismissively. “No... no... It might not even be true. You should check it out first.”With a nod, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.Bethany stared at her trembling hands. It was happening again. Every time she heard about a death, her hands shook uncontrollably, and her heart race

    The gunshot shattered the air, reverberating like a thunderclap. Bethany flinched, a sharp shriek escaping her lips as she crouched behind the car for cover, her heart pounding against her ribcage.“Oh my God!” she gasped, clutching her chest to steady herself.The minutes ticked by like hours before she finally summoned the courage to straighten up, glancing around cautiously. Just as she was about to slip away, Fred appeared out of nowhere, his face etched with a mixture of worry and urgency.“Hey!” he shouted, his voice startling her.Bethany’s gaze darted to him, her expression a mix of relief and irritation. “Don’t bother calling me, Fred. I need to go check on someone,” she snapped, moving toward her car.But Fred blocked her path. “Natalie? That’s exactly where I’m headed!” he exclaimed, his voice rising. “She hasn’t been picking up, and I swear, if that bastard is there—”“Fred, stop!” Bethany interrupted, her mind racing. Who was this person? How did Fred know about them?

    NEXT MORNINGBethany stared at her reflection in the mirror, reflecting on the woman she had become. Emotionless, detached, and heartless—all because of the heat emanating from Fred. His influence had changed her in ways she never thought possible.Natalie had been kind to her at times, but deep down, Bethany knew her so-called friend’s motives were shallow. That realization stung more than she was willing to admit.After their heated argument, Natalie had stormed out of the house without a second glance.Was she too harsh? Did she make the right decision? Or was she genuinely in trouble, spiraling out of control?Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted when a pair of comforting hands rested on her shoulders. She gasped and turned to see Dean standing behind her, his expression calm and reassuring.“Oh my God! Dean?” she exclaimed, sighing in relief as she reached for his hand.He stepped closer, his fingers working magic as he massaged her tense shoulders. “You look so stressed. I

    The long jump made a heavy thud, causing Bethany to lose her balance."Oh my God!" she yelped in pain, clutching her knee as she tried to regain her footing.Her heart raced as the adrenaline kicked in. There was no turning back now. The decision had been made, and she was on this path. Yet, in the fleeting moments of hesitation, doubts began to flood her mind.Am I really doing this? Am I really going to Fred's? The weight of the situation bore down on her, filling her with dread and second-guessing. Fred had seemed so serious, so insistent. What could he possibly have to say that couldn't wait? She needed answers, even if it meant revisiting old wounds.Lost in thought, Bethany was jolted back to reality by a sharp voice."Where do you think you're going?" someone yelled.She looked up, her heart sinking. "Natalie?"A wave of unease washed over her as she took in the sight of Natalie standing there, arms crossed. “How is it possible she's here? “ Bethany thought. She hadn’t expec
