CHAPTER ONE SHATTERED HEARTDENISE' POVIn the bustling city of Las Vegas, United States, Colin, my husband and I settled at the VIP lounge with a few of his business counterparts at night to discuss a few things about the growth of the family business. Our new investor, unlike others, likes to talk business somewhere nothing close to an official environment; he believes people who wear suits in a boardroom don't have the money they propose or appear to have. They take loans from the banks or from people like him. His money comes from old money, from his club business to say the least. Mr Montenegro El Dinero makes fifty million per night, that's if it's a bad day.“Boring” Mr Montenegro muffles softly at the ebony stripper in front of us—Her skin glows as the disco lights reflect on her body. “Boring! Boring!! Boring!!! “Why don't you go up there and entertain our prospective investor” Colin whispered t
“You cannot override me when I'm here…I'm still her husband” Colin vexed.“Where were you when she was falling from the lounge stairs? Why didn't you catch her?” Gregory asked in frustration, seeing me in pain must have hurt him so much. Colin remained silent for a while before he parted his mouth to speak. “I was busy with some of the investors—and having some cool time with other things. I didn’t know when she left the VIP arena to where I don't know” smile played on his lips. “She got into a fight with someone”, he said. “Your honourable Mistress Angelina” I shouted in pain from my bed.Gregory clinched fist swings across Colin’ face–he landed on the floor. Colin rubs his lips. A red fluid coloured his palms.Colin smiled. “Really, you are going to beat me because of my wife…no man” he staggered to stand up. “Unbelievable”“No it is not unbelievable that I'm keeping you away from your wife. She was first mine but I left her for you to take good care of. What did you do? You
Denise Pov “Here is a cell phone, call your husband and tell him you weren't in your right sense’s when you signed the divorce paper, take the phone” she yelled and I didn't flinch. Greg has been in this hospital with me for a long time now. Ensuring I'm okay. When my mother's pressure became too much, he had to hang around me often. So I don't do things that I'd regret. “I'm not going to do that mother. I'm going to start a new life and give my sisters the best of life..even if I have to break my back. I've been a strong lady and anything I put my mind to do I'll do…” I replied. “Life is not that easy. I'd have gotten to La la land after I became a widow. No man took me. They wanted me to be a sex worker. So I know what I'm talking about”. She suggested. “We ain't the same momma”. This isn't going to be the first time I made her know this. Either way I will still stand my ground. And strategize my dreams. “And if you think this buffoon standing right here will marry you, ple
CHAPTER IV EVER LOVINGDenise' Pov.“The shameless cheater is here again. Makes me think why you returned. You should've at least give yourself time to heal” Angelina said, rubbing her hand over her abdomen. She made the way so I could walk in.The house interior decor has changed. There was no smell of me anymore. Just her and Colin. Their wedding portrait plastered on the wall. Although it was a very beautiful work of art. It looks so expensive She looks pregnant already. I see.“Coming from a whore. I expect a thief not to see herself as a thief but project who she is on the other”. I didn’t even scrutinise my words, never minding I was in her jurisdiction.Everything in this house was partly contributed by me–my soft porn act.“You got some nerves, ” she gritted her teeth. “I'm here to pick my belongings if you don't mind showing me the way that leads to my closet.” I instructed.“Hahaha!” She lau
