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
A week passed, and Nicole was officially charged with attempted murder. The charge came as a relief to her, knowing she had not killed Greg. Her lawyer, on a pro bono basis, assured her he was doing fine and recovering.That was all that mattered at the moment, as she was slowly trying to accept her fate.The guard walked into her cell and informed her she had a visitor. She looked up at her in confusion. She could not think of anyone who would visit her.She was led to the visiting room, where Agness walked in.She looked away disappointed, knowing the woman was there to grout."The chains and orange suit you," Agness stated in a serious tone."What do you want?""I just came to inform you that I made a deal with Marcus Rashwell to testify against you for the fake rumors," she announced.Nicole kept staring at her."Not only will you get years for trying to kill my son, but I'll make sure you get more years for the fake news," Agness explained with a smile.Nicole closed her eyes, tr
A vacation that was termed an "emergency vacation" for some days turned into a month-long vacation for Nera and Marcus. At first, she did not like the idea of staying longer than they planned after what they left in Texas, but as the days went on, she began enjoying her new Florida beach life.Marcus had secretly taken her to his secret beach house without telling anyone except for the driver where they were.He had a high beach house that was only minutes away from the beach. The swimming, the long walks on the beach, and the sunbathing became Nera's normal routine and she was enjoying itThe sun was perfect for her pregnancy, and every time she felt morning sickness or woke up fatigued, she would take small walks on the beach, lay a mat and an umbrella, and sunbathe the whole day just like a princess, Marcus used to call her.Eventually, she stopped asking about when they were going to go back and embraced the new life on the beach.She was left with no option but to step away from
Nera moved to where Marcus was applying lotion on the baby and picked up the lotion bottle. She looked up at her husband, whose skin was starting to pale up."Oooh, my God, Marcus, are you okay?" Nera asked worriedly.She quickly took the baby away and placed him on his bed while Marcus took a seat on the bed."Did you break something? Oh, is it your blood pressure?" Nera began panicking.Marcus quickly held her hands, "Calm down, I am fine. I think I just pulled a muscle," he lied.Nera paused and hit his back. "I warned you to stop carrying Sam on your back!" She stated and walked to finish dressing Sam."Ouch! Did you have to hit me?" Marcus asked."Because you do not listen, I have been warning you, but you never listen to me," she said, rolling her eyes at him.She finished with the toddler and took him to the playroom, where he was eager to play with his toys.She walked back to the room and sat next to her husband. "How is the back?" She asked"Fine, I will take some rest," he
