Chapter 1

1. A ghost from the past

“You’re sleeping?!” My mother-in-law, Fiona's, voice boomed. 

I did not realize when I had managed to fall asleep on the couch. Piles of files and books lay scattered on the floor, most of which belonged to my husband Calvin. 

 "Shit." I said and hurriedly got up on my feet, straightening my hair in the process. It’s been three years since I married Calvin, but I still couldn’t earn my mother-in-law's affections. 

“Who is going to clean all this mess if you’re going to sleep?” She glared.  “Quick, get it all done before Calvin arrives. You know he hates it if things are out of order.” 

I sighed, "But Fiona, I just cleaned this room room yesterday..." 

She narrowed her eyes at me, "You didn't. You made the house help clean it and they did a very shitty job. Hence, I want you to clean it now."

As I couldn’t dare to oppose her, I meekly complied. Fiona always found pleasure in knowing that I was miserable. She wanted to remind me everyday that I was fit for just doing household chores in this lifeless mansion I call home. 

“After you’re done here, make sure you pick up Calvin’s clothes from the dry cleaning for tonight’s gala.”

I looked at her insensitive face with appalment, “The driver is sitting idle outside. I think he can drive-“ 

“You think I don’t know that?” She retorted. “That driver of yours is incompetent as it is. I don't trust him! Remember what he did last time? He booked an appointment with a gynecologist instead of a general physician when Jen complained of pain in her stomach.”

“Well,” I said, suppressing my smile, “Jen mentioned that she could be pregnant, so it’s only fair that he assumed she’d like to-“ 

“Shut up!” She hissed, “I told you to never mention it, didn’t I? It happened ages ago.” 

It happened precisely 2 weeks ago but okay.  

“Anyway, you have the entire afternoon free, isn’t it? You can go with him.” Fiona said. 

Seeing as there was no way I could get out of this. I merely nodded. That was the easiest way I could get her to leave me alone: by giving in to her demands. 

Calvin had been absent from home lately, spending most of his time at the office. Being the CEO for Anderson Constructions was not an easy job. Lately, his job had been more demanding. Despite his hectic schedule, I didn’t mind doing little things for him, like picking up his dry cleaning. It was the least I could do. After all, I loved him more than anything in this world.

I was okay with giving up my career for Calvin so I could be a great wife, and eventually a great mother to our children. Everyone thought I was silly for doing that. Even my father has offered me a great job in his company, but I declined. I believed that I was doing the right thing. I loved my husband immensely, and I was ready to do anything for him. 

Sundays were the only time I could relax, but thanks to Fiona and Jen, my sister in law, my life has become a living hell. They were already overstaying their visit, so I couldn’t help but pray that they leave soon.  

After having scrubbed all the floors clean of dirt and placing all the things back the way my husband liked them, I finally exited the room. As I looked at the clock hung on the wall right outside the door, I realized that it was almost lunch time. I was at it for five hours! God, I was starving. 

I decided to avoid my mother-in-law in the living room, so I took a different route to the kitchen. When I got there, I found no leftover breakfast—just a bowl of cereal for me.

"Where's my food?" I asked the cook. 

She gave me a guilty look, "Miss Fiona said that you didn't need food for breakfast as you will be busy scrubbing the floors all day." 

"What?" I said in surprise, "Where is my lunch then?"

"Miss Fiona asked me not to prepare it, Miss Cassie." 

Angry tears brimmed in my eyes. What did my life become?

I was Cassandra Harper Anderson, an adopted daughter of Arnold Harper, who owned one of the biggest steel manufacturing industries in the country. I was married to one of the richest men in the city, yet I had to live like a beggar. 

Fiona had made sure the cook only prepared meals to her liking.

Most of the days, I would be left with no food, and I had nothing but a bowl of cereal and milk to eat. Today was no different. Finding little use in fighting, I fetched myself a clean bowl and began preparing my meal. When I settled down to eat, I began hearing parts of Fiona’s conversation with Jen in the living room. 

“I heard that Becky’s condition has drastically improved in the past few weeks.” Jen casually mentioned. “The new drug they tried seems very promising. The doctors claim that it might even bring her out of coma.” 

Breath hitched in my throat. Becky was going to wake up?

"Oh, my God. That's amazing news, Jen!" Fiona said in happiness, "I can't wait for Becky to wake up. It's what we've been waiting for since three years! Calvin promised to me just recently that once Becky wakes up, he is going to leave that wench Cassie and throw her on the streets! How wonderful that would be!" 

The spoon fell out of my hands and clinked against the marble of the counter top. My heart was sinking.

Cassandra is a weak woman in this story, why is she still trying to hold onto a man like that. This author is dragging this story until now they haven't divorce.

2. Calvin Anderson
"Yes, mother." Jen said, "Cassie is the worst thing that could happen to our family. I mean, she is utterly useless. She doesn't keep Calvin happy. Even after three years of marriage, Calvin doesn't care about her. He wishes every day that he could marry Becky instead. How I wished it was Cassie that suffered in the accident instead of poor Becky." “I agree.” Fiona sighed, “For the past three years, I've been sick of waiting for an heir. Cassie is useless as it is, but I’d expected that she could at least give me a grandchild. She is honestly good for nothing.” Anger arose within me upon hearing her words. I didn’t know what came over me, perhaps it was the threat I felt in Becky waking up, or the false allegations of my incapability of childbearing, or that I was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally to tolerate them anymore, that I sought to give it back to them for once. Without giving it a second thought, I walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, ready to

3. Can you blame me?
Ignoring me, he started to pull up my shirt. What was going on? Why was he trying to take my clothes off?"Calvin!" I said, grabbing his hands to stop him. "What are you doing?""Didn't you tell my mother that we haven’t been intimate lately?" he said, glaring at me. "I’m fixing that."I stepped back, disgusted. "No! That’s not what I meant! Fiona said—""I don’t care what she said, Cassie," he interrupted, moving closer. "I don’t want to look like an incompetent husband."He pulled me toward him again, but I slapped my hand over his mouth. "No, Calvin! This is ridiculous. I’m not doing this.""Why not?" he demanded. "You wanted a child to secure your place in the family, didn’t you?""Please. I don’t want this!" I cried, feeling the tears well up. He loosened his grip, giving me space to breathe. "I don’t want it like this. Not when you’re so angry at me.""You know I hate it when my mother gets involved in our private life. You promised to respect my privacy, but you told her everyt

4. A mysterious man
I gasped when I saw him. He looked stunning in his new tuxedo. I had always thought he was the most handsome man I’d met, but tonight, he looked even better."What the hell are you doing here?" He demanded as he came to stand beside me. "I asked you to go in as soon as you arrived." "I was talking to-" I turned my face to look at Mr De Luca, but to my surprise, he was nowhere to be found. He had left. "Talking to who?" Calvin asked in impatience. "We're already late, let's go." It hurt to see that his eyes didn’t show admiration like I hoped. He seemed indifferent. I had spent hours getting ready for him, but it felt like I didn’t matter at all."How do I look?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow and gave me a dismissive glance. "Appropriate. Shall we go?"I blushed, embarrassed, but I couldn’t let my tears ruin my makeup. I swallowed hard. "Yes."Grabbing my arm roughly, he dragged me inside with him. Right then, Calvin’s phone buzzed. He read the message, frowning. "What’s wrong?" I

5. Leave!
That night, I reached home very late. Yet, Calvin was nowhere to be seen. No matter how many times I called him, he diverted my calls to voicemail. Dejected, I went to bed alone, praying that he returned home safe the next morning.When I awoke the next morning, the house was surprisingly silent. Fiona and Jen have apparently gone out very early in the morning and didn’t come back. This might be the only good thing that happened today.After getting ready, I settled down by the breakfast table as the maid served me some food. It was my favorite; pancakes with maple syrup with a glass of orange juice on the side.“It tastes delicious. Thank you so much.” I smiled at my maid, “Did Calvin come home last night?”“No, ma’am.”“Did he inform any of you where he has been off to?”“Er.. yes, ma’am.” She muttered, “He rang us this morning to ask for some papers to be sent to Westwood hospital.”The spoon I was holding fell from my hand in surprise, clinking against the plate. Widening my eyes,

6. A fool
“What?” My mind went blank.After a moment of silence, he said abruptly, “I need you to leave!”I clenched my fist, was that it? Since she was here, was he going to toss me out like a used tissue paper? I clenched my fists at my sides, staring at him in disbelief. I wasn’t some object he could toss aside when it no longer suited him. I had feelings, and I deserved far more respect than that.“What if I don’t agree to leave?” I said, taking one step closer to him. Calvin’s eyes widened in surprise as it was the first time in years that I dared to go against him. All these years, I’ve been silent because I was begging for his love and attention. I was hellbent on impressing him, and yet, despite so many efforts from my end, he chose to turn a blind eye toward me and only sought for Becky. If that was the case, then I no longer had to swallow my pride.“What’s wrong with you?” Calvin glowered, “Do you really think I’ll ever be happy married to you? Why would you want to be in a marriag

7 Fine, I'm Leaving
"Calvin wants a divorce?" Kelly’s voice rose in shock, and she nearly dropped her coffee. We were sitting at a cafe, and after Calvin left, I realized I couldn’t keep fighting this battle alone. For years, I had dealt with our marriage struggles by myself, keeping it all hidden from even my best friend. But now, I needed to talk."Shh! Be quiet!" I hissed, glancing nervously at the coffee on the table. The cafe was crowded, and I started to worry this wasn’t the best place for such a conversation, but it was too late to change. I needed to get everything off my chest."It's going to be public soon anyway," Kelly shrugged, sipping her coffee, “Tell me everything.”I frowned, the thought of a divorce still stinging. "We’ve been fighting since day one," I said bitterly. "Everyone thought we were perfect, but it was all just for show. We were never happy."She raised an eyebrow. "But why? You and Calvin always seemed so… ideal."I sighed, "It’s a long story."Kelly glanced at her watch. "

8. Fainted
I stared at the blank white ceiling of the room. I'd been staying in the hotel for a week. The room was small, but it was neat and clean. Honestly, it felt so much better than living in that big house before. Especially without Jen and Fiona's constant torment, and far away from my cold-hearted husband. I’d been looking for a place recently, but it wasn’t easy. My parents wouldn’t help me, and my sister and mom made sure of that. I couldn’t ask Kelly to take me in either, since she was already doing so much for me. She offered me her couch, but I just couldn’t bring myself to let her carry that burden. So, I kept looking for a house, but luck wasn’t on my side.I rolled onto my side and glanced at the clock. Oops, It was 9 am! I needed to go. I still had an hour to get to the hospital for my appointment. Yes, despite everything, I still had to go donate blood for Becky. I didn’t want to go at first, but then I remembered she was awake now. Maybe I could finally get answers from her.

9. Best revenge
When I next woke up, a blank white ceiling came into my view. In the periphery, I noticed a plastic tube hanging from a rod, quickly recognising that it was an intravenous drip set. A constant beeping of a machine interrupted my thoughts, grabbing my attention. Slowly, the smell of sanitizer filled my nostrils, and it didn’t take me long to recognize where I was. At a hospital. I blinked my eyes to clear my view and tried to move my hand. A sharp pain shot up my forearm, making me realize that there was a needle inserted there. As I looked down, I noticed a cannula inserted into my hand, slowly infusing me with fluids. I then felt a gentle touch on my forearm, making me look up at once. It was Kelly. I frowned at her. “Kelly?” I said. I quickly realized that my voice was groggy, so I cleared my throat. “What are you doing here?” “You recognize me?” She said in relief, “Good, we haven’t completely lost you then.”“What?” I said, “What happened to me?” “Well, stress happened.” She

10. Why are you doing this?
When it was finally time for discharge, Kelly had an emergency. “There’s an important meeting I need to attend, Cassie.” She said, “Do you think you’ll manage on your own with Enzo?” By this point, all the essential paperwork had been taken care of and my IV line was removed. I was prescribed oral medication for the next few days, and there was absolutely nothing to worry about. However, as part of the protocol, I had given some blood tests and we were awaiting the results of those. In the meanwhile, Enzo spoke to me about my relationship with Calvin and on what basis he was filing for the divorce. After spending a couple of hours with him, I realized that he was genuinely good at his job and hiring him would help me get a fair share of bargain during the divorce proceedings. He also managed to help me ease into the conversation very quickly, and before I realized, I was opening up to him about a lot of things. Thanks to Kelly, I managed to develop a healthy acquaintance with him i
