Then, Keaton and Yanni kissed. His lips were warm, and he held Yanni close. He kissed her again and again until she completely melted in his embrace…That night, Yanni stayed over at Keaton’s place.…Three days later, it was Gael’s wedding.Time was tight, but Gael still gave Emilia the grandest celebration. At the Regent Hotel, he hosted a lavish banquet with a total of 99 tables, inviting the city's elite. He might've just done it to witness the spectacle. Surprisingly, many people showed up.Emilia looked stunning today. Gael had prepared a custom wedding gown worth millions, making her resemble a swan. The jewelry she wore was worth several million dollars altogether, making her the absolute center of attention. Everyone addressed her as Gael's wife.Emilia felt that everything was worth it.Yanni and Keaton arrived with little Ella. The former didn’t dress up particularly. She merely wore a thin cashmere dress under a black coat, looking warm and perfectly matched with Kea
The scene was suffocating. Gael had never seen Emilia like this. She was completely lost in the moment with Troy, her words dripping with abandon. As he stood at the door and peered through the crack, he felt a wave of nausea wash over him. Gael should have charged in and confronted Troy for sleeping with Emilia. Surprisingly, however, Gael felt a strange calmness. Today wasn’t the day for a scene. With hundreds of guests in the banquet hall, each one influential, he couldn’t afford to lose face. Emilia was just a woman, after all. They hadn’t even registered their marriage yet.Despite convincing himself, Gael's heart felt heavy. He walked to the end of the corridor and leaned against the window. Then, he lit a cigarette to gather his thoughts. He needed to think carefully about his future with Emilia.The night wind howled, contrasting sharply with the lively banquet hall behind Gael. Emilia was in the lounge and lost in a passionate embrace with another man. Meanwhile, he stoo
Troy smiled playfully and said, “If you know what today is, then why are you still messing around with me?”Emilia got off the bed and touched up her lipstick in front of the mirror. She looked indifferent. “It’s just a formality! I'm just fooling that simpleton—Gael.”Troy was well-dressed. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her slim waist, leaning down to kiss her fair neck. “When should we meet again?”In truth, Troy wasn't attracted by Emilia, given her age, appearance, and figure. However, it was different since she was Gael's wife. Sleeping with her was quite thrilling.Emilia looked at the reflection in the mirror. She thought for a moment and said, “In a few days!”Troy smiled and left. Then, Emilia opened the door after she finished her makeup. To her surprise, she found Gael standing there with a very displeased expression.Emilia was taken aback. “What are you doing here, Gael?”Underneath the dazzling crystal chandelier, Gael's expression was extremely grim.
As soon as he arrived, Jamie saw Yanni and Keaton being close, accompanied by a little girl. He walked over with a graceful charm, and he took in Ella with a keen eye. Ella recognized him, and she knew how to make people happy. She looked at Jamie with her big eyes as she sweetly called out, “Hi, Jamie!”Jamie ruffled the little girl’s hair. At this moment, he had no idea that he actually had a daughter—one secretly born to Paityn. It happened two or three years before their deal. Jamie had thought that he had had sex with Paityn for the first time, however, the truth was that she had already given birth to a baby girl. Jamie's daughter was named Carol McKinney, and she had been raised in Silvercrest.Yanni was a bit surprised to see Jamie, especially since he had never been fond of Gael. He sensed her thoughts and shifted his gaze to Keaton. Jamie said with a hint of discomfort, “Dad asked me to come over! He wants me to tell you to come back for dinner when you have time an
Emilia was taken aback. Today was supposed to be her joyous day with Gael, and she was looking forward to getting ready for their wedding night. She didn’t expect him to suddenly lash out like this.Emilia believed that hosting the wedding made her Gael's wife. So, she dismissed him. She opened the car door and said, “You must be too tired and talking nonsense, Gael. I’m your wife. Where could I possibly go?”Gael remained seated in the car. He didn't move a muscle. He watched as Emilia held up her dress and stepped up the stairs toward the entrance. She looked like the mistress of the villa. Well, she almost was.At that moment, a maid approached and looked at Gael. “Do you really think of this place as a new home, Mr. Gael?”Gael stepped out of the car, his long legs striding forward. “No.”The maid felt relieved. She and the others preferred Yanni and didn’t care for Emilia. Just by looking at her, Emilia seemed petty with a sharp and difficult demeanor.Gael stood in the dark
Suddenly, Emilia burst into laughter, and her whole body shook with it. “You finally woke up, Gael! Too bad it’s too late. Yanni, that noble ex-wife of yours, won’t even look at you again. "She found a new boyfriend without breaking a sweat. They’re apparently getting married. Doesn’t that hurt?”“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something. Buckle up, Gael, because I'm the one who leaked that video. And you actually wrongly accused Yanni. "Do you even realize how foolish you look every time you blame her? A self-righteous man like you deserves a broken marriage. Now you feel wronged and upset, but why didn't you feel the same when you were secretly meeting me behind Yanni's back?"…Gael was deeply provoked. His eyes turned bloodshot. He had intended to hit her again, but looking at Emilia’s shameless demeanor changed his mind. He stepped forward and yanked her hair to force her to look up. “You think you’re worthy of being my wife?”That night, Gael humiliated Emilia several
Zoe Sanders wasn’t sure if every cheating man had two phones. Mason’s lover sent a picture to him while he was in the bathroom. She was a delicate young lady, but she was dressed in elegant attire that didn’t exactly fit her age. So, she looked a little out of place. “Thank you for the birthday present, Mason.”Zoe stared at his phone for a long time. Then, her eyes welled up. She knew Mason had kept a lover on the side, but she didn’t think she’d look like this. Aside from the obvious heartache, Zoe was surprised at her husband’s taste in women as well.She felt sorry that she saw his secret. Then, she heard the bathroom door opening. Mason wrapped a towel over his defined muscle and sturdy chest. He was tall and sensual.“How long are you going to look at it?” He took the phone away, glanced at her, and started getting dressed. He wasn’t the least bit embarrassed over the fact that she caught him cheating. Zoe knew very well that he was able to act this way because he was the
Six years! That was how long she had loved him! Zoe closed her eyes abruptly.…It was a Friday night. Something bad happened in the Sanders house. Mason still wasn’t home. They received news that the eldest child in the Sanders family, Noah, might be facing a ten-year sentence because of the Sanders Group’s financial case.Ten years imprisonment was long enough to ruin someone’s life. Her dad was hospitalized due to a brain hemorrhage. It was critical and he needed to undergo surgery immediately. Zoe stood in the hospital hallway and called Mason non-stop, but he didn’t answer. Just when she was about to give up, he sent her a text via WhatsApp. It was brief as usual. “I’m still in Hucksburgh. Find Ava if you need anything.”She gave him a call again, and he answered this time. Zoe said at once, “Mason. My dad is…” Mason cut her off abruptly. He sounded a tad impatient, “Is this about the money? I told you. Just look for Ava. She’ll hook you up… Are you even listening, Zoe?”
