“Ugh, Sarah. I think we look like two little whores, rather than two young girls coming to a birthday party.”
“I’m ok with that. Don't complain too much. Our appearance is perfect. We are two hot, sexy women. Look at us.”
Sarah pulled Shanon's shoulder to see the reflection of the two of them in front of the tighty closed car window. Shanon felt that she couldn't be as confident as Sarah, who was posing sensually while showing off her curvaceous body clad in a tight maroon dress. Shanon still saw herself as a bitch beneath the tight navy dress she and Sarah had bought this afternoon after she came home from the hospital.
"I will make Stevan regret cheating on me."
“Yeah. That dress will definitely make every man stare at you with their mouths watering.”
“Thanks, Shanon. I wish Anthony was here too to see your super sexy self tonight. He should be sorry for treating you like trash.”
Just as Jordyn looked back, a fist flew straight at his chin. Shanon screamed loudly, seeing Jordyn slumped on the floor and groaning in pain.“Keep your damn hands off her.”Anthony's gaze turned to Shanon, who looked very shocked by what had just happened before her eyes. Anthony grabbed Shanon's wrist roughly and dragged her away from the bar.“You're crossing your limits, Shanon. Go home right now."“What are you doing? Let me go. Jordyn, help me!”“Shanon.”Anthony ignored Shanon's screams and her attempts to get away from him. He continued to drag Shanon out of the damn club, not caring that several of his students were there and were looking at him in surprise.“Let go of her.”“Mind your own business, Jordyn. Shanon has to go home.”“She came here with me. I'll take her home.”“No. I don’t believe you."“
“Oh my God, what is going on?” Sarah stopped dancing when she heard a commotion near the bar and Shanon's screams mixed in with the very loud music around her.She had a bad feeling and her feeling was never wrong. Sarah hurriedly left the dance floor and pushed her way through the crowd of people who were buzzing around the bar like a swarm of bees.“Excuse me, please give me a way.”When Sarah finally managed to push her way through the crowd, the fight that everyone was discussing had ended. She looked right and left to look for Shanon, but she couldn't find her anywhere."Are you looking for your best friend?"A pat on the back startled Sarah."What are you doing here?" Sarah looked at Stevan sarcastically.“Ignore your anger at me, okay? We have a situation.”“There are no more we. Tell me what happened?”Stevan sighed softly. "Follow me."Sarah finally
"Good morning all. This is our first class after summer break.”"Who is she? Why did she suddenly come into Anthony's class?” Sarah whispered next to Shanon."That's Anthony's girlfriend I told you about before. Her name..."“I'm Miley Stuart. I am Professor Anthony Bruce's new assistant.”“What the hell. That damn man wasn't joking. He even brought his girlfriend to this university to be his assistant. It's really hard to believe. Just a glance at her, I can already smell the scent of a bitch around her body," Sarah grumbled while watching Miley, who seemed to be acting friendly with the students in the front row. But a second later Sarah realized that Shanon was silent beside her.“Shanon, are you okay? Say something.""What should I say?" Shanon looked down and pretended to be reading her journal.She had no right to interfere in Anthony's affairs, but that man always interfered in her affairs an
Shanon didn't like to stay long on campus because Miley worked as Anthony's assistant. She was sick of seeing her cling to Anthony like a leech. Not only on campus, Miley also often came to Anthony's house for dinner, and they deliberately showed off their affection in front of her. Shanon felt like she was a true masochist because she allowed herself to be exposed to these painful things for days on end. And thank God she didn't go crazy. Or at least, she hadn't.“Hey, you ready to go home today?”“Shanon. I thought you forgot to pick me up today.""Not my fault. He suddenly insisted on coming to pick you up. I have to wait for him to finish basketball practice.”Shanon shifted her body to the right and Jordyn appeared from behind the door.“Oh, Jordyn!”“Hi, Avery. Glad to see you recovered quickly. The last time I saw you, you were still lying on the gurney. And look at you now, you're standing al
Anthony opened his desk drawer and took out a photo from the bottom of his documents. The photo looked like it was still new even though a year had passed since the photo was sent to his house as a goodbye.“Sir, you got the package this afternoon. I have put it in your study."“Thanks, Martha. You can go home now."The housekeeper nodded slowly and went out the back door carrying a bag of rubbish to throw in the rubbish bin.After Martha left, Anthony rushed to his study to check the package that Martha had mentioned. He suspected the package came from one of his colleagues as a wedding gift for him and Miley. Tomorrow morning he and Miley will be married at the cathedral church. That's kept Anthony very busy over the past week. There were so many things that had to be done at the office that he had to work overtime to finish all his work before his wedding day.After getting married, Anthony wanted to take time off to honeymoon with M
Nothing made Shanon more tired than working on her thesis surrounded by toxic people. The family drama still revolved around her, like the carousel of her childhood. She was on top of the carousel, and it continued to spin and spin endlessly around her. Shanon wanted to stop it, but she couldn't because she was right on top of the carousel. She was right on top of a pile of problems that were becoming more and more difficult to solve day by day.Every day, apart from Anthony pissing her, Miley also added to the long list of burdens in her life by intruding into Anthony's personal life. Sometimes, she stayed overnight at Anthony's house and treated her like a maid, more than Anthony treated her as a maid. And what was most annoying was that Anthony just watched his girlfriend act cruelly towards her.As happened this morning at breakfast, Shanon had prepared Anthony's favorite breakfast and let Miley eat cereal because she didn't want to cook for the snake woman. But an
Shanon walked unsteadily towards Anthony's house carrying her heavy backpack. As usual, she entered through the doggy door and closed it again slowly. Shanon saw Anthony's car parked in the carport, while the door to the house was wide open. She vaguely heard the boisterous sound of someone talking in the living room. Shanon rushed into the house to see who had come to visit Anthony's house.“Avery?”“Shanon. Come in.""What are you doing here?"Shanon's body stiffened. Her gaze turned alert when she saw Avery and Anthony sitting face to face in the living room. On the table, there were several sheets of paper, one of which had Avery's signature.“What are you doing here, Ave?”“It's okay, Shanon. I will free you from Anthony. You deserve happiness. Instead, I will surrender myself to Anthony.”“No. You can't do that. Anthony, cancel all the deals.”“I can't,” An
The sound of a knock on the door stopped Shanon from lamenting her sad fate. She had been curled up in her bed since Jordyn took her home three hours ago. She just lay on her bed crying and hugging a bolster.Shanon was grateful that the doctor allowed her to go home after observing her condition and finding nothing dangerous other than that she was malnourished and exhausted. Doctor Anastasia told her to take complete rest for at least three days and gave her various vitamins to help her recover quickly and to maximize the development of her fetus in the early trimester.Shanon was very sad every time she remembered the fact that she was pregnant. She was pregnant with Anthony's baby! Something she really didn't expect would happen amidst the complexity of her life. She had blamed the pills she had been taking so far because they could not protect her from the disaster she was facing. But Doctor Anastasia told her that the pill was not completely effective in preventi
Shanon frowned in confusion when she saw Anthony suddenly stand up and throw the napkin on the table. He hadn't finished eating his steak and hadn't touched the wine, but Anthony suddenly left the table in a silent anger that confused her.“Hmm... I think he's sick of having a wife like you. You show the affair too bluntly in front of him."“You've really drained all my patience, bitch. If you can’t say proper words, you better shut your damn mouth.”Shanon moved her chair back and stood up.“Shanon, where are you going? Your ankle is sprained. I will help you.”“No, Jamie. I can handle it. You just keep eating here.”With unsteady steps, Shanon walked out of the dining room. She was so angry that she wanted to hit something. If Annika wasn't her friend, she would have happily punched her sister-in-law in the damn mouth who had been messing with her since this afternoon.Shanon walked to
Shanon was happy because her relationship with Anthony was quite conducive throughout the afternoon and evening. They didn't leave their room after Anthony got a bruise ointment. They spent their time lazing around in bed, cuddling. Shanon enjoyed a very calm moment with Anthony with the sight of a snowstorm that made the entire landscape outside the window very white. They could barely see the mountain ranges or trees that were usually clearly visible from Shanon's room.At seven, they finally went out of their room because they were starting to get hungry. Anthony held Shanon's waist tightly and led her down the stairs because Shanon refused to be carried by him. Shanon's friends greeted Anthony in friendly tones as they passed each other near the stairs. Shanon was very grateful because she didn't run into Jammy at all while walking down to the dining room. That would be a very awkward moment. Shanon hoped they could return to Boston as soon as the storm passed.&ld
Anthony jumped down from the helicopter with solid footing. He brushed off the sunglasses that framed his eyes and rolled his gaze to the range of snowy mountains that spread out around him. Everything was white and a little misty. Anthony turned towards the magnificent villa that stood on flat land at the top of the hill. The villa was quiet. Anthony told the pilot to wait because he wasn't planning on staying that night. He just wanted to take Shanon home right then and there. He thought about it while they were still in the air. He wouldn't let Shanon stay at the villa any longer with her ex-lover and immediately took her home.“Are you one of Mrs. Sarah’s friends?”"Yes. Where is she? Where is everyone?”“They were skiing on the hill.”"When are they coming back?" Anthony asked impatiently.“I think they'll be back at lunch.”Drake looked at Anthony's appearance from head to toe. All black
Shanon appeared exactly five minutes later in a white and blue gradient ski outfit and furry hoodie. Shanon carried goggles and other ski equipment in both hands.“They gave me this before I came out.”“Sarah and Stevan make sure their friends have everything here. Let's go. Our friends left half an hour ago.”“They must be at the top of the hill. Why is there no cable car here?” Shanon started to complain just a few steps after her shoes hit the snow. The combination of uphill roads and very thick snow made the walk feel five times more difficult than just climbing up a steep mountain.“Where's the fun if you just get on the cable car and glide? The journey from the bottom to the top is more amazing than just gliding.”“Really?”As far as Shanon could see, she only saw pine trees and rocks covered in snow. Shanon wondered whether Anthony was a ski fan or not? She had seen Anthony s
“Morning, Shanon.”“Morning, Josie.”“It seems you didn't sleep well last night.”Shanon put her ass on one of the empty chairs next to Joselyn and her husband. Most of the other round tables were already filled with other couples. Shanon caught a glimpse of Sarah and Stevan sitting with Justin and his girlfriend.“Yeah, I think so too. I woke up with a very tired body and mind. I need some coffee.”Right after Shanon said that, a housekeeper came in with a pot of very fragrant coffee and started filling her empty cup with coffee that made Shanon's mouth almost drip."Thanks."“What would you like for breakfast, ma'am? We have pancakes & bacon, hashbrown & sausage, and smoked beef omelets.”“I want a smoked beef omelette with hashbrown, can I?”“Sure. I will be right back."Shanon leaned her back against the back of her chair whi
After making sure Sarah didn't follow her, Shanon dashed to her room and plopped down on her king size bed as soon as she arrived at her room. She rolled herself up like a fetus. She felt that the bed was too big to sleep on alone. She had never felt so vulnerable when she was away from Anthony. She was always fine while living alone in New Heaven. She had never missed Anthony so much. But, that night she felt vulnerable and missed Anthony so bad. She needed to hear Anthony's voice.Shanon rushed to grab her cell phone on the nightstand. She deactivated airplane mode and dozens of notifications started flooding into her phone. It took Shanon ten minutes to wait until the notification ringtone died down, and her cell phone returned to silence. Shanon then pressed the speed dial to call Anthony.“Anthony…” Shanon's voice sounded hoarse and wet."What's wrong with you? You turned off your phone, and you suddenly called me with puffy eyes?”
Something big?Shanon thought Jammie was just joking to scare her or intimidate her. She didn't have any inkling as she went into the dining room with the dress code Sarah had set for that evening. A silk nightgown for the women and silk pajamas for the men. Sarah seemed inspired by their summer vacation at Joselyn's villa. At that time, they had a pajama party and played a snakes and ladders game all night while eating various kinds of snacks that they brought from their respective homes.But for tonight, Sarah had modified it a little. She didn't make her female friends wear pajamas, but instead nightgowns, as a sign that they were no longer teenagers, and that they were adults with integrity.“Welcome to the pajama party.”Shanon's jaw dropped as she entered the common room. The room was on the first floor, second hallway after the hall. The room looked really amazing with a gold interior and walls covered with gold wallpaper. The
Shanon quickly forgot everything Jammie said as she was busy welcoming her friends who came to the villa that day. They reminisced while screaming and hugging because it was the first time they had met since graduating from high school.“Anna Hughes! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's you.”“Sarah, thank you for inviting me and my boyfriend.”“Hi Anna. Are you pregnant?”“Oh, our Shanon genius! And yes, I'm pregnant."“Oh, congratulations to you, darling!” Shanon hugged Anna warmly.She then hugged Aaron, Anna's lover.“Welcome to our humble Villa. Please follow Tobby to your room.""Thanks."Not long after Anna and her lover went to their room in the right wing, Drake arrived from the airport with three couples. Joselyn, the blonde woman, got out of the van for the first time and screamed excitedly as soon as her eyes caught the figures of Shanon and Sarah.
Anthony's voice on the speaker startled her. Shanon hurriedly opened the door wider and asked Jammie to come into the villa. Shanon then turned her back to Jammie to talk to Anthony."I have to go," whispered her.“Hey. Is he one of your friends?”Anthony caught a glimpse of Jammie's face over Shanon's shoulder. Anthony narrowed his eyes suspiciously at his wife's movements.“Yeah, he's one of my friends. I have to find Sarah or Drake to get them to prepare a room for Jammie. I'll call you again tomorrow. Love you.”Shanon sighed softly. She didn't know why she suddenly became that nervous just because Jammie came while she was on a video call with Anthony.“Did I interrupt you with your boyfriend?”Shanon choked up hearing Jammie's voice so close to her ear. She hurriedly turned around and smiled awkwardly. Her face turned red when she was stared at so intensely by Jammie."That was my husba
