Adeline's POV

I've been feeling terrible for the past few days. I never got out of my room and just spent the day drinking to the limit of what I could handle. I didn't want to go out and look my best as usual, only to be ignored by Chris.

You see, it's been more than two days since I've left my room, but he hasn't even bothered to find out how I'm feeling. I had already finished more than three bottles of wine by myself, and my stomach was filled with nothing but last night's dinner.

I tried not to think about the worst possibilities that Nova talked about and how he looked at me when discussing the divorce, but they kept coming up unbidden. They seemed to be a nightmare that haunted me into this state of restlessness.

"I told you, leave me alone!" I cried out in anger when a servant attempted to take away the wine glass I was using, and it ended up shattering when I failed to hold it properly.

The servant looked scared when she saw my angry gaze and accepted my slap. I vented my fru

    Adeline's POVI just want to have fun tonight. Although the party was held in a nightclub, this club was different from the cheap clubs scattered around the city. Not just anyone could enter and participate in this party except an official member or trusted acquaintance of the guest.All of the guests were not random people but people who took influential places in conglomerate families, companies, and even a city without employment ties and were already at the stage of high society whose level was no longer playing games.I don't think Nicole is fit to attend this party at all. "She shouldn't be here," I grumbled under my breath, glaring at the woman who was confidently standing next to the leader of our socialite group.That woman should be somewhere else, a place where no one would hear her presence and would have absolutely no effect. Besides, this place was not at all suitable for her, who was in the lower class, like when she was a servant in the Martinez Family's house.Nicole,

    Adeline's POVI immediately hugged myself, making sure to get my arms around my dress, which had already separated from the straps around my shoulders, revealing my bra and stomach so that I might as well expose myself in front of the other women.Feelings of embarrassment and shock all rolled into one. I had no idea what I was in for. I hadn't even done anything but stand up from my seat. There were no sharp objects around me, which was the main cause of my dress ending up like this when it was fine before.In my moment of confusion, I could see Nicole grinning at me. My thoughts stopped for an instant, then turned to anger at knowing what was really happening to me. All of this must be the work of that woman who somehow managed to take the first step to humiliate me."Are you alright, Adeline? How did your dress end up like this?" The woman who invited me to the party asked, looking concerned about the sorry state of my dress. I couldn't even let go of the handle of my dress if I di

    Nicole's POVI became more relaxed after Adeline left the party. I could see her going in a hurry while clutching her ruined dress without any company, and I felt a smile that had not completely disappeared from my lips.Although it was a minor accident, I was glad that she experienced such an unexpected situation after humiliating me. I could remember her surprised expression that quickly turned into anger when she saw me smiling. Still, after that, I deliberately ignored her because other people were more important than her."What are you looking at, Nicole?" Selena asked, touching my arm lightly to get my attention. "I've called you several times, but it seems like you couldn't hear me earlier."I blinked my eyes, not remembering when she called out to me. "Really? Sorry, Selena, I had something on my mind.""It's alright. Ah, this is Mrs. Pamela. She's my uncle's wife." Selena introduced me to a middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful. We greeted each other and then exchanged

    Nicole's POVBright morning, I got ready in my room and quickly walked towards my son's room to wake him up. We had some things to do together, so she had to get ready to leave as well.In the room, Richard still looked asleep. I walked slowly and opened the curtains on his bedroom window so that the morning sun immediately touched my son's face, who was now frowning with his eyes still closed. I tapped him lightly on the shoulder to keep him from falling back asleep."Come on, wake up, son," I said softly, making my son open his eyes slowly and blink before I blocked his face from the sunlight momentarily.Richard squirmed and stretched his body on the bed. He looked at me with a still sleepy look but also sweet as he spoke. "Mom, good morning.""Good morning to you too, Richard." I smiled as I watched him shift to sit on his bed while my hand reached out to smooth the back of my son's slightly messy hair. "I got a wonderful gift from you last night. Thank you."My son, who had looke

    Nicole's POVWe were currently riding a Ferris wheel that was very high in my estimation. I couldn't look out of the window and could only look at Richard, who seemed to be enjoying the ride while moving his feet happily and not taking his eyes off the Ferris wheel window since we entered.His face brightened as he looked at me. "Mom-oh, what's wrong?" He looked a little worried."Mom's feeling a little scared, Richard." I gave up, feeling trembling in my body, and reached out to my son, who was sitting on the other side.Richard formed a flat line with his lips but accepted my hand. I felt like he could tell how scared I was from how moist my hand felt in his grip. "Are you a child? I'm really scared."I shook my head, denying my son's remark about me being like a child. "I've always been afraid of heights, but you like it here, don't you? I just need this kind of company to be less scared.""Okay." He patted my hand lightly with his other hand, trying to calm me down. "You just rela

    Nicole's POVWithout saying anything, the man I saw at the table across from us now took the nearest chair and moved next to Richard. He seemed to smile faintly at my son without looking back at me."You probably don't know, but I own a pretty big robot development company, a little one. You can come there as my best friend." The man spoke"I don't need it, sir," Richard responded to Chris' words without hesitation. "I already have many places to build robots that are more fun than coming to your company."Chris looked at my son intently. "Are you sure? I don't want you to give up this opportunity because I rarely give it to anyone." He said, persuading my son more persistently."There's nothing wrong with you going to different robot manufacturing places to see what other people are making. You're a researcher for your robot. You'll need all kinds of references that can't just be found in books."I shifted my gaze to Richard, noticing my son was already wringing his hands and startin

    Nicole's POVI was surprised by the water splashing on my face and the droplets hitting my clothes. At that moment, I saw the figure of the woman who was screaming earlier and was most likely the perpetrator of the watering that was directed at me. Adeline. The woman looked flushed with anger and was looking at me sharply."I already know that if you were a bitch once, you will be a bitch forever. How dare you meet my husband." She said with a shameless curse. "I should have known. You must have been planning to seduce Chris and get him since you reappeared, right? Just confess!"I didn't answer right away, preferring to calm myself down first from her wanton behavior, and grabbed a handkerchief, wiping my face until it was no longer wet. I felt much calmer as I realized that the woman was pouring from a water bottle that only contained mineral water, not the tea Chris had ordered at the table where I was sitting.It would be annoying if I came home with sticky and stained clothes rat

    Nicole's POVIn the car, Richard was still holding my hand. His face looked worried. "Is Mom okay?" He asked.I couldn't answer right away. I was still trying to calm my anger that had almost returned after my encounter with the two people who had both mistreated me in the past, as well as their attitude towards Richard.I never wanted to show the violence that existed in domestic life to my young son. Even with his mature attitude that he would never do that someday, I didn't want to give him the idea that violence was one of the solutions to problems in any relationship.I want a happy life for my son, and I don't want to get involved in violence if it's not necessary, but that incident disturbed me.I finally exhaled after catching my breath, feeling much calmer than before and smiling as usual. "Mom is fine. Are you worried, Richard?""Yes, mom." He nodded, gazing at the top of my clothes, which still felt damp after being splashed by Adeline's water. "Mom's shirt is wet."I touch

    Nicole's POVI looked at my father, who had been watching me since earlier. I ignored it at first, but after a while, I got curious and finally asked him. "Is there something you want to talk to me about, Father?"He shook his head, smiling slightly with eyes that seemed to sparkle. "No, no. I'm just happy to see that you've been in good spirits lately."I smiled back at him, although I also thought that my father's attitude was quite strange. I didn't feel as excited as he said, just as usual. The things my father said were even more applicable to him, who somehow looked radiant.Of course, I felt happy about whatever my father went through because I knew he could behave like that now. After the betrayal of his old friend, I felt that my father became much more reserved and only focused on his work, but now he's become better than that.I finally changed the subject. "Is Richard with that man, Father?"He nodded.Lately, my son has been spending a lot of time with Chris. It was usual

    Nicole's POVI was already in my study, realizing that the thing that happened a moment ago was really happening.The things I felt and the attitude I showed the man... I touched my chest, feeling the pounding of my heart that always became unusual whenever I couldn't control myself, especially when it came to that man. Chris.I didn't know what was wrong with me anymore, feeling messed up and not knowing what to do to fix what had happened."No," I said, with a complementary slap to snap myself out of my current situation. "I need to focus."It wasn't time for me to dwell on whatever feelings were surrounding me and dwell on them. Work was waiting for me, and I couldn't put it off any longer for any reason.I slapped my cheeks repeatedly. Only then could I take my work seriously.I spent most of my days staying out of that man's reach. Sometimes, Chris was at my house for some business, but I still avoided him and didn't show myself to him as much as I could. When I came home, I aske

    Chris' POV"Chris!"A shouting voice rang in my ears. I turned my head and saw a woman running towards me. She immediately hugged me tightly. Smelling the fragrance of her body so close to me and catching a glimpse of her face, I felt certain that the woman in this embrace was Nicole.I looked in the direction the woman had previously run and found several people scattered around the streets, shouting and moving away from each other. This was paving the way for a tree snake that seemed to have escaped from one of the shops in this row of streets.Not far from the snake, two staff members who seemed to be from the shop could be seen chasing the escaping animal with nets and ropes. They looked tense, following the slithering animal's movements on the hot street.The atmosphere was definitely noisy, but I could only feel the fear of the woman who was in my arms and was giving me a tight hug without any warning as if I was her life preserver and didn't want to be let go by her anytime soo

    Chris' POVI felt that my relationship with Nicole was fine, even better than a few weeks ago, even though she sometimes tried to ignore my presence around her.She was becoming more talkative with me about some mundane things that I didn't know would happen so soon. She didn't kick me out anymore, even if I went over her limit, which would usually make her upset and follow her emotions.I still remember when she acted shy when receiving my cheek kiss and her anger at the charity event when I kissed her on the lips. My reactions to those two things were quite different. One was closer to negative because I was in a hurry, while the other was closer to positive, even though they were close in time.Perhaps my thoughts on our current situation were correct.She probably doesn't hate me as much as she used to, and I can also do things that I could never do even if I wanted to. For now, I won't do anything more than the usual touching of a young couple, but even that already makes me happ

    Chris' POVI returned Nicole's widened gaze, feeling a little pleased and proud of myself. "I know, you must be admiring me, right, Nicole?""Are you showing yourself off?" She snorted, changing her previously unseen gaze to what it was now, slightly sharp. "Why would I admire you sitting down?"I noticed the woman who looked a little sullen. I still don't know the reason, but she seemed to be annoyed that I accidentally made her emotional with my out-of-context words.Anyway, I was happy with her attention and unconsciously said whatever came to my mind.I cleared my throat softly, returning the conversation. "If you try, you can do it too, Nicole. Cooperation with Mr. Divo." The woman was still looking sulky. "You might be able to get this deal done first.""I can't." The woman's father suddenly spoke up, looking serious. "If Nicole does that, it will be dangerous for her."The woman seemed to turn her attention to her father, frowning as she asked. "What makes it dangerous for me,

    Nicole's POVI knew what he meant when he dropped me off after our accidental lunch. My gaze was drawn to the scene in front of me, inside my house, which should have consisted of my father, Richard, Key, and the servants, but this time it was different.The man and my two and only family were in the living room. My son looked relaxed while my father chatted smoothly with the man. The three seemed familiar, even to the point of not noticing my presence, and had already been welcomed by the servants in our house.Perhaps I stared too long. My father turned to me, as did the other two. They had quite similar happy expressions, which made me frown."Nicole, you just arrived?" My father asked by way of greeting. "I thought you'd be home a little later because of the work you've been piling up. Key told me."I ignored my father's words, paying more attention to the calm-looking man mingling among them. He noticed my gaze and smiled politely, but I could feel slightly annoyed by his natural

    Nicole's POVI paused to look at the man's face, especially his smile, which made me feel like I was about to lose focus. I didn't let that go on for too long and pushed the bouquet of flowers at him, waking him up to something.His eyes widened slightly. He put a little distance between us, letting me stand evenly, though his hands were still on my waist, and said casually. "Oh yes, I wanted to give you this bouquet of flowers."I gazed at the bouquet of flowers she handed to me. The arrangement was pretty, consisting of only three flowers, but the colors of the flowers were well integrated and complemented each other. The skill of the bouquet arranger could be recognized. I could also smell the fragrance of the bouquet he gave me.At this point, my focus completely disappeared, especially as I tried to deal with the predicament right in front of me.It's been too long since I've experienced this, and it felt so different when I was with Matthew. After all, this man in front of me di

    Nicole's POVI exhaled after they left, then turned my gaze to her. "Why are you talking like that? Do you wish for me to be your lover?""A lover is not a wish-"I cut him off. "Don't you know any shame? I've rejected you many times, but you keep acting like that."We stared at each other. I didn't know what she planned to do to take this path again. I felt quite relieved when he only focused on my son, familiarizing himself so that their relationship became much better than before.But that day, as well as her behavior today, was like a repeat of what he had done a few months ago, even worse with him latest act that I didn't expect her to do.He had gone so far that I could have sued him had Richard not liked him like he was. I clenched my fists, looking at the man's gaze, which seemed to soften but still spoke insolently."I am indeed shameless. No matter how much time passes, I will still want you, Nicole. Having you as my life companion has become my way of life." He said, making

    Nicole's POVI didn't know we could end up like this. I was having lunch with Chris, just the two of us, without Richard, who would usually mediate between us and familiarize himself with each of us to fill the silence.A while ago, he called me while I was still in the office and working. He only spoke briefly, as if telling me, without waiting for my reply."Mom, let's have lunch together. I'll send you the restaurant's address; don't be late." My son hung up immediately.I stared at my phone for a while but immediately prepared to leave after receiving the message that the address was already from him. I sent a reply message to inquire about his whereabouts. Still, he has yet to read or reply immediately, as usual.I left it at that, feeling that Richard must also be on his way to the restaurant we were heading to for lunch.Within moments, I arrived at the restaurant, which was quite crowded. There were a few office workers and students who were also having lunch, but among them a
