Greg was left standing, staring at her figure as she disappeared behind the gate, debating to himself and asking whether he heard correctly.He looked at the driver, who had his fists clenched and was breathing heavily. His reaction was an indication that he did not hear double. Nera just invited him and inquired about his tea preference. She still remembered that part of him. He quickly snapped out of it and ran after her. Nera had no intention of inviting him inside the house. She knew how insulting that would be for Marcus, so she led him to the gardens and asked the servants to bring black tea for the guest.Greg followed her and watched as she took a seat. She noticed he was keeping his distance as if he were scared of her. It was funny in some ways, but she maintained her cool."Please take a seat; I will not bite," she joked.Greg gave out a fake smile and took a seat."Thank you; I guess I am just shocked you invited me in," he replied."We are both adults, Greg; we moved on
Another day passed, and Marcus was finally discharged from the hospital. He had not yet told Nera about Nicole's affair with the mayor. He wanted to hold on to the wild card, waiting for them to be caught together in the physical act.He knew telling her would result in her going public with the news or confronting Nicole which would result in the affair ending up as allegations especially since the nudes of the two cheating idiots did not contain faces.When he arrived home, Nera was so excited to have him back in the house that the second they both walked into the bedroom, she quickly closed the door and began kissing him."Nera, what are you doing?" Marcus asked"I missed you," she replied, and she kept kissing him. Marcus quickly held her hands, stopping her. He had recovered but was tired and needed rest."Sorry, my princess not today; the doctor recommended that I get some rest," he replied disappointing her.Nera frowned, ever since she got pregnant her hormones were all over
Nicole arrived home like a thief, whose eyes were all over the place searching if anyone was watching her. From the switched-off lights, she could tell that everyone was asleep.She tiptoed inside, hoping to get a quick bath and get the stench of the mayor off of her body.She was about to get on the stairs when the lights turned on. Greg was standing on top of the stairs with a bottle of alcohol in his hands.He looked at his watch, then at her."I already informed you that I was running an errand," she replied, trying to get past him.Greg barricaded her and ordered her not to move."Get out of my way!" She yelled at him.Greg grabbed her by the arm and said, "You do not give me the respect that I deserve in this family!" He yelled.Nicole glared at him, irritated. She was tempted to slap him but contained herself."I will say this for the last time, get out of my way!" She warned him.Greg grabbed her by the collar and dared her to do her worst."Greg, let go of me!" She yelled at
Nera arrived home pissed, knocking over anything that was in her way. She did not mind Agness secretly taking the members to her restaurant to probably convince them to vote her out of the charity, but Patricia ignoring her calls was insulting.She threw herself onto the chair, breathing heavily. She knew she was not supposed to let the situation bother her, but doing the fundraiser for ungrateful old fools was looking like a waste of her precious time.She began wondering if it was worth it; maybe starting her own charity or foundation would be productive, she thought to herself. Marcus, who was already informed about the situation, came running downstairs."Princess, are you alright?" He hugged her. "The driver told me what happened," he added."Seriously, does that driver of yours always have to tell you everything?" she snapped, breaking the hug."Yes, that's why I trust him," Marcus smiled and grabbed his phone."Do not worry, no one is going to vote you out of that drowning cha
Like a thief caught red-handed, Nicole began looking for an exit. She couldn't believe she had fallen into the trap for the second time in a row. She turned, searching for Greg, but noticed him talking to two elderly men. For someone who had complained the entire trip to the stupid fundraiser, he looked to be enjoying himself and cracking the loudest jokes.She turned to her right and also noticed Agness busy cracking jokes. She was the one with the keys to the car but getting the keys seemed impossible.She had no option but to think fast; getting a cab seemed to be the only option. Excuses were always available in her head, and all she had to do was text them after the cab arrived.She quickly called for the cab and decided to walk outside and wait for it, but before she could turn, Nera and Marcus approached her."Hello Nicole," Nera waved."Hi," Nicole waved in a shaky tone."I do not think I have ever introduced my husband, the man with the old balls that you seem to be always m
Nicole closed her eyes as more tears kept streaming down her cheeks. She wanted to storm out of the premises, but her legs felt like they did not want to move. The humiliation was too heavy on her.Some guests began to leave the premises, while those who enjoyed gossip lingered, waiting to see what would happen.Nera and Marcus moved to where Nicole and Agness were standing."Tomorrow you will both be saved with a lawsuit. We already have a confession from Greg that you were behind the nasty allegations," Marcus announced."What? What are you stupid!" Agness yelled at him."The stupid fools in here are you two who decided to come after my family!" He warned her."No, I did not. Direct the stupid lawsuit to this slut!" Agness replied, pointing at Nicole.Nicole finally raised her eyes, staring straight into her mother-in-law's eyes."She planned everything and circulated those photos, claiming your wife was cheating and not me!" Agness defended herself. "That's none of our business, f
The days that followed were hell for Nicole, with a lawsuit from Marcus and divorce papers from Greg, who refused to meet up with her and was denying her any time with her son.She admitted she was not a good mother but he had no right to deny her visitation to her child. From being married into one of the most prominent families in Texas, she was reduced to renting a cheap room at a motel and eating out of a box.She had nothing and not a penny to her name. She had lived a life of luxury thanks to the checks that her mother-in-law was always getting from her son, and the two would shop until they were dry with nothing to save.She never thought a day would come when she would be thrown on the streets. She had always been careful about sleeping around and no one had a clue. But thanks to stupid Nera and her husband, she lost everything.To make matters worse, she would spend all the money she was getting from the mayor on useless things. If that was not enough, the stupid mayor was y
Nera stared at the woman she once called her best friend, straight in the eyes without flinching. She knew she was supposed to be on her knees and begging for her life, but she did not feel like it. Begging meant giving her power to grout over her death once she was dead. So she chose to look the woman who had come to kill her straight in the eyes without fear."Get on your knees!" Nicole yelled"Why don't you shoot and make me?" Nera asked, further infuriating Nicole."Please Nicole…think about your son," one of the women tried to pump some sense into her, but Nicole pointed the gun at her and asked her to shut up. The woman quickly covered her face and looked away."If anyone talks, they will be the first to go to hell before that stupid bitch in front!" She warned them and turned, moving closer.Nera kept staring at her without moving."You thought we were going to have a happy ending?""No, I thought you were going to have a miserable ending," Nera replied. "Three years ago you
