Author's POV:

Wendy's heart raced as she realized the implications of Sandra's words. "What do you mean? What have you been putting in my tea?"

Sandra answered readily. "It's just a little poison, ma'am. Just enough to make you weak and reliant on Cole."

Wendy swallowed but she didn't say anything. This was just too much to take in.

"Dr Cole? He's your boyfriend, isn't he?" She asked, her mind racing.

"Yes, ma'am. And he's been after your fortune for years. We figured if we could get you dependent on him, he could convince you to change your will in his favor. To do that we had to poison you."

The cup fell from Wendy's hand and broke on the floor.

She couldn't find her ground anymore. It was almost as if she was going to faint any seconds now.

"E-explain something I don't know," Wendy stuttered. "My mysterious illness for the past six years, was it because of the tea?"

Sandra smiled widely. "Yes indeed. Since Cole was the only Dr whom attended to you, no one else could've figured i

    Laura's POV: The thugs had moved me from the cave to a waiting truck. Initially, I thought maybe I was finally going to be let free but I was wrong. We didn't head back to the mansion as I was expecting. Instead we drove into an abandoned farm house at the outskirts of sun island. "What are we doing here?" I asked suspiciously. My mind couldn't work. It was as if I was being stored in a deep freezer. The head thug turned to me with a sneer in his voice. "If you don't shut up now, I'm going to put a bullet to your head."I didn't say anything because I knew if I wasn't careful with this guy, I might end up with a bullet in my head. "Where the hell is Fred?" he demanded from the driver as the truck pulled up. "He must be inside the house," the driver answered, jerking his thumb at the car parked behind them. From inside the house, I saw a young man running towards where the truck stood. I regarded him with interest. He was to me, one of the most good-looking guys I've ever seen.

The driver stepped out and opened the door, revealing inside, my young son sitting beside me.I glanced down at my boy. "We're here, Billy. Are you ready?"Billy nodded even though he looked nervous. I won't say I blamed him. It was his first day in school. He has every right to be nervous. I held his hand and wrapped my arm around his shoulder. "Hey don't worry about it, I'm right here with you, alright?"He bobbed his head and gave me a faint smile. It's amazing just how fast Billy grew. After six years, it felt just like yesterday I held him in my arms. As we stepped out of the car, my eyes scanned the crowd of students and parents gathering in front of the school. I spotted a group of my Billionaire colleagues. They waved at me and I waved back, giving them a casual nod before turning to my boy."Come on, Billy," I said,

After she slapped me, she marched to her office but I followed her, calling after her like my life depended on it. Clair returned back to her seat and waited patiently in the reception hall. Now I'm trying to calm Laura's jumping nerves. She was pacing around her office, swearing, cursing and crying. Suddenly she began regaining her composure. She leaned her weight on the edge of her desk and stared directly at me. The look she gave me was cold and scary. I had to keep my cool because I have absolutely no idea what she was going to do next. "Is it true?" She asked. "That you had a one night stand with her behind my back?" As much as I hated to admit it, I had no other choice but to speak the truth. "Yes I did. But trust me. It was just this one time. I haven't done it ever since."

Since Greene wanted me to test her, to see if she was truly the woman I thought she was, I had come prepared with a plot in mind. I challenged him to try to convince her to divorce me and marry him instead. That was his role. Greene was taken aback by my boldness, but I could tell he couldn't resist the opportunity to show his skills.I then reminded him of the eight hundred million dollars he had placed on the bet and Greene couldn't help but laugh. "I can never forget the large sum of money at stake, Reiner," Greene said. "Trust me. I won't back down on thi

    Reiner's POV: Reiner," Laura began, her voice suddenly hardening. "Tell me what is going on."I sat across from Laura in a small bamboo cabin by the beach. The warm air and the sound of the rain tapping against the roof set a calming ambiance as we were about to enjoy the dinner for two I had prepared.The table was set with a crisp white tablecloth and adorned with a vase of tropical flowers. Our plates were filled with grilled seafood and vegetables, paired with a smooth red wine. The romantic mood was palpable, as the soft light from the candles cast a warm glow over the room.I took a deep breath and reached across the table to take Laura's hand. "Laura, there's something I need to tell you," I began. "I know this may come as a surprise, but I have a confession to make."Laura's eyes lit up with expectation, and she leaned forward, eager to hear what I had to say. I took a moment to gather my thoughts, trying to find the right words to say what I needed to say."Laura, I've b

I must see Greene. When I reached the penthouse, the guards outside stopped me, asking who I was. This wasn't the time for this. These Meatheads should get out of my way. But I decide to play it cool else they might think I'm some psychopath. I took a deep breath and told them my name, and demanded to see Greene. At first they were hesitatant but then they made a call to their boss and I could hear him yelling at them to let me in.The guards reluctantly led me to Greene's suite, and left me alone in the room. As I waited, I heard a sound coming from the bathroom. Before I knew it, Greene stepped out of the shower, wearing nothing but a bathrobe. I felt uncomfortable and guilty, as a married woman, being in such close proximity to another man."Well, well, well," Greene grinned lustfully at me.

    Laura's POV:It's been a whole month since then. Reiner and I never had an argument again but we were at it again and it started out of nowhere. Unexpected, like a trap. I was at home nursing the kids when Reiner walked in and announced that he wants to take me out on a date. I couldn't help but feel a wave of happiness wash over me. It had been a while since we went out together, and I was looking forward to some alone time with my husband."Laura, get dressed, I'm taking you out," Reiner said with a smile. I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my stomach at the thought of getting dressed up and going out with my husband.I walked to my closet and picked out my favorite dress. It was a beautiful, red, off-the-shoulder dress that hugged my curves in all the right places. I paired it with a pair of strappy heels and some simple jewelry.As I got ready, I couldn't help but think about the hardships our family was facing. We were still struggling financially, and it had been a diff

Greene and I had what you might call a good business-relationship. He's one of Griffen Groups elite clients and he thinks so highly of me. Due to our strong bond, Reiner always lets me to handle him. If someone had told me Greene had more in mind for me aside business, I wouldn't have believed it. Greene's the only child of his family. As such, he inherited everything his father left behind. He's one spoilt rich kid but he's got a sharp mind for business and how he runs the family company. Green was four years younger than me. I learnt earlier on he's got a big taste for older women.

The kids are always hungry and I can see it in their faces.But that's not the worst of it. Wendy, who also lives with us now, has suddenly turned against me.
