Chapter OneRia's POVDing!I rolled my eyes in utter disgust. I was just about to take a nap! Who the hell sent me a message?I reached for my phone that I had tossed somewhere beside me a couple of minutes ago."Meet me at the hotel by 7P.M in the evening." I squinted my eyes reading the message I just received from my husband.My cheeks reddened instantly and I stood up in high spirits. Turns out, he remembered my birthday! I was about to go to sleep after having such a bad birthday, but I guess my busy husband had a surprise for me after all!It was just after six so I obviously didn't have much time. I sprang into action immediately. I ran to the bathroom to immediately take a quick shower.After showering, my ass immediately sank into my room chair, where I faced my mirror to apply my makeup.I stared at nothingness dreamily as I thought of the surprise he got me last year; a brand new car. I wondered what he had in store for me now. I couldn't stop blushing hard. A glittery bli
Chapter TwoRia's POV.*The Next Day*I jumped to my feet immediately after I heard the beeping sound which came from the door! I have been waiting for him since last night after the incident that happened at the hotel and he was yet to come back home. My eyes were already puffy due to the tears last night. He went as far as embarrassing me at the front of the whole crowd standing there.He walked in looking a little bit rough. His tie was crooked, and his buttons from his shirt were not properly done. Even after what happened last night, he spent the entire night with her. "Good morning." I called his attention towards me while he tried pulling off his shoes. He looked up and then sucked his teeth; there was only one expression on his face, and that was him looking at me like I was a piece of shit.He walked out of me, ignoring me like I wasn't talking to him. I went after him as he walked into the room."We have to get divorced." I mentioned to him immediately we were both inside t
Chapter Three.Ria's POV.I didn't know if I should be excited or not after reading the text."I'm getting divorced." I blurted out at their presence, with my head bowed in shame. I covered my mouth after I had realized had done. I didn't mean to say that out loud."I knew it! I knew the marriage wasn't going to last because you latched yourself to him like you were a parasite! I bet you must have cheated on him after seeing someone better." Maddie mentioned clicking her tongue as she looked at me with her lips curled."That wasn't the issue! If only you knew it was your daughter..." I held back my statement, knowing fully well that she was not even going to support me at first. Even if she realized that her daughter slept with my husband, she would still support her."What did my daughter do? You want to bring up another lie?" Priscilla, who was at my front, scoffed. She moved a step closer to me since there was barely any space between us."I wasn't expecting him to change his mind
Chapter Four Ria's POV.*Few Days After*There was no way I would be able to go on this way if I didn't get to find a job that would bring a lot of money. "I am sorry, Miss Rialyn Logan, we would not be able to employ you for this job." I got a text message from the company I just applied to."Fuck fuck fuck!" I smashed my pillow to the floor in frustration. I didn't use his last name to apply, but they still called me with his last name!Even after we were not together, he still haunts me.This would be the fourth time a company would be canceling me without even getting to interview me. I met all the qualifications, but it was still the same thing.This was definitely Miguel's handwork. He doesn't have to make life hard for me this way. I was starting to regret the fact that I let me pride took over me. I should have just accepted the alimony instead."You can't give up yet. You could still get to see a lot of job vacancies." I mentioned to myself as I patted my face, pouting my l
Chapter FiveRialyn's POV.*TWO DAYS AFTER*'Yes! I agree to do that.' I hit my hand on my head remembering what had happened between Luca and me two days ago. How the hell did I agree to that kind of deal? I don't know if I should be regretting right now.I agreed to do that so I could get back at everyone who made me this way. That was my only option.I brought out my phone, looking at the time. 'Shit!' I cussed out so loud as I removed the washing gloves immediately. How the hell did I forget that I will be meeting up with him this evening?It was happening this night and I must say that I am a little bit nervous.I rushed out of the room as I then bumped into Priscilla! I knew what she was up to and what she wanted to say. I wasn't ready for her petty fight."It looks as if you are in a hurry. Where are you going to?" She questioned, as she folded her arms. Her eyes piercing into mine. I couldn't possibly tell her that I was going to meet him.There was no way I would let her know
Chapter SixRia's POV.His hand further went down my hips as I raised it up to his waist. I could see the print of his dick against the towel, which he was putting on. He removed my clothes from my body slowly as the moans slowly escaped from my mouth. I felt his hot breath on my skin, and he then kissed my neck slowly, giving me hickeys.I was left with my bra and my panties. His mouth kissed my chest, while his other hand caressed my boobs together with the bra. His other hand went to my panties as he then massaged it slowly.My back arches due to his touch. "It was nice having fun with you." I heard him saying as he then stood up from the bed, leaving half naked and bewildered. Was this a joke? Was he really leaving me this way?What the fuck just happened now? Did he just tease me? He walked back into the closet, leaving me on the bed in shock.I tried standing up as I was still in amusement. I zipped my gown as I then walked out of the room. There was no way I would wait for hi
Chapter SevenLuca's POV. Five fucking years! I still couldn't get over her. I had to move away from here thinking I would have gotten over my obsession with her, but it was not possible.I had to pretend all my life that I hated her. I waited for this moment and all I needed was for her to love me back.I had to make her deal that could put my entire hard work in a big problem just because I didn't want to see her with Miguel anymore, hoping I was going to have a chance with her. I wasn't sure about having sex with her yet, but I just wanted to know if I could get a chance with her. I didn't want to rush her, since I wanted to take things very slow.The memories from.thag morning kept on flashing in my head. I had always fantasized about moment like that in the past and it almost happened, but I wanted things to be okay between the both of us first I think things were going in my favor when I got to discover that she was planning to divorce Miguel. I knew that this was going to ha
Chapter Eight.Ria's POV*TWO DAYS AFTER*My eyes were fixed on the emerald green gown that was at my front. I couldn't believe he was so fucking real. The fact that he had to send in the gown I was going to wear too.How the hell did he get to know my size?'Have you tried it on already? What if it doesn't fit you?' There was no way this gown wasn't going to fit me; it looks exactly just like my size."Are you ready? You have one hour left." I read the text message that I had gotten from him. I changed into the dress after I was done with makeup.It looked so good on me. It was a strapless gown that has a floral pattern on the chest that was made with beads. The gown has a slit up to my laps. I never knew my boss had good taste when it comes to dresses.The dress fitted me perfectly too.I look at the other box, which he had delivered to me, and it has a Louboutin in it. "What the actual fuck!" Why would he bother doing all of this? One might think all of these was a test. I wasn't
Chapter 128Ria's POVI got a call from my phone and it was from a strange number which I had never seen before. "Hello!" I picked up the phone immediately, and that familiar voice resonated in my ear. That was Luca.I could tell that he was the one. My head started spinning right in that moment. I couldn't tell if I was hearing things.The call ended immediately, as I was unable to say anything. What just happened!?Everything has been taken care of, and I could feel some of the side effects of the epidural which I had used, but things should get better after a few days.My phone was handed over to me by Liam."Just let them take over it at this point." Liam. Mentioned showing me the news that Miguel was about to have another shareholder's meeting.Fuck! He knew he has the right time to do it, and that was why he decided to do it. He was really smart for coming up with that. "I have to use my last approaches" I stated."You can't use your mast approach now. Do you really think you
Chapter 128.Liam's POV.I wasn't sure if she was in danger, but her voice sounded like she needed help. Dis she misplace her phone? How was she able to dial my number without her phone with her.A lot of questions crossed my mind as I drove off the street to the location which the caller id had sent to me. Apparently, it was a hospital.It turned that she was admitted into a hospital, but I didn't know what was wrong with her or the cause of her illness. My leg pressed the accelerator moving with a very high speed to the hospital.I was doing this because I felt guilty after I had spoke with her that night. I didn't know what she was going through, but I still made this hurtful words towards her.I still didn't know what she was going through, but I could make up for my mistake.I got to address in no time, Ria's call interrupting my thoughts."You were asking about Zoa the other day. What was the reason? I haven't been in contact with her for days now, and that was very unlikely of
Chapter 127Liam's POV."Hello, Robert," I mentioned over the phone. I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I needed to know if she was okay. Ria hasn't heard anything from her, not even a call."Who is this, and where did you get my number from?" he questioned."This is Zoa's friend speaking." I added, making him know about it. "Oh! That bitch? How am I supposed to know you, though, and why, and why are you calling me?" Bitch!? How could he call her something like that?"I am the guy you saw at the restaurant the other day, Liam." I introduced myself to him. A loud laughter almost blasted my ears through the speaker of my phone. I had to place it away from my ears a little bit."I never knew that the both of you were together. So you were her friend?" He questioned. There was no way in hell I would befriend her."Yes. Why haven't I been in touch with her for the past few days? You were the last person she saw after that night." I went straight to the point, while I paced around the r
Chapter 126Ria's POV*TWO DAYS AFTER*It was so hard taking care of kids, especially without their father. I knew I was going to scale through, and things were going to get better in the end.I heard a knock on the door, and it turned out to be my mother.She brought the milking machine with her. That shit was painful as fuck."What about the kids?""They are sleeping," I replied to her. "Then you should take a rest. Make sure you rest at every opportunity that you get." She mentioned it to me. I knew that was essential for me, but that shit has to be hard."I want to start my business again." I broke the news to my mother. As she dropped the milking machine gently on the floor, acting like she didn't just hear what I had told her."I want to continue where I left." I repeated my statement."You want to start your business again?" She scoffed; her hands went to her waist. Obviously tired of me already."Yeah, do you have a problem with it? Do you know how hard it is going to be for y
Chapter 125Zoa's POV."You want to figure out this night?" I scoffed at his statement."You are starting to show some signs I might not like. You know what will happen if the both of us don't end up together?" He whispered in my ear as fear gripped my chest."This is the hotel room key card." He dropped a card on the desk. "I just feel like we should take things really slow between the both of us. Don't you think that we were starting to rush things a lot?" I questioned him, and he smirked.I hated that facial expression, and I wanted to slap his face right on the spot, but my father's life was at risk."I love to rush what I really want." He replied to me."How many wives do you have?""Have? I divorced the three of them already." He mentioned. That means he must have kids already."So I will be the fourth one you might get to divorce?""Yeah! Do you know how easy it was for me to get those ladies? Thanks to my dad's money. I am just 46 years of age, so it wouldn't be bad if I sett
Chapter 124Zoa's POV.Ria was being discharged from the hospital today. I helped her with one of her kids while the other one was with her. Liam assisted her in carrying her luggage.How could I bear to tell her that I needed to be somewhere today with this kind of expression? I don't think I could ever bring myself to tell her that."Are you sure that you are okay?" Ria questioned me."Yes! Of course I am." I replied to her."The both of you are acting like you have some important places to be." She stated, while my gaze diverted a little bit towards Liam's attention."Uhm, it's nothing.""Don't tell me that you will not be available here today?" Liam mentioned. "This was the one that you could finally prove yourself as being a good friend." He mentioned it to me."Hey! I told you not to talk to my friend that way anymore." Ria butted in, and I loved the way she did. "I wouldn't like it if you spoke to her that way in my presence." She entered the car in anger.Liam and I gazed at
Chapter 123Finn's POVThe doctor might think Luca losing his memory was a bad thing, but it was really what I wanted anyways, and I know I got the big shot after I heard that news. It seemed like things were starting to work in my favour.My leg pressed the accelerator while I tried to reach the vacation house quickly. I had to cancel all my plans for the day after I heard from the doctor that he woke up already.It has been up to two months, and I wanted him to stay out till people got to accept that he was gone and no one really gives a fuck about him anymore.I reached the vacation house in no time while the guards were outside. I had employed them to protect the house and capture anyone who came here. I was the only one who knew about this place, and not even Jade could realise that I have something like this.I entered into the house and then went to the room immediately. Knowing full well that I was the one who saved him, I have the upper hand.I entered into the room and saw t
Chapter 122Luca's POV.My eyes opened slowly. Pain rushed through my body while I tried sitting up but my legs were tired.I looked around and then realized that I was in an unfamiliar building. "Finally! You woke up after being in coma for two months." I heard a voice at the other of the room while I turned around to see who it was. It was a man in a white coat.I couldn't see his face since his back was all what I could seeComa for two months? What the hell did he mean by that? He turned at me and I could see a stethoscope on his neck. What was I doing with a doctor?"Can you feel pain anywhere?""I feel so numb." I replied to me, and it felt like a part of me was missing too."You will get better. You have been under treatment due to the accident that happened to you two months ago." The doctor furthered stated.I tried to remember about the incident which he was talking about, but my mind suddenly went black."What accident?" I questioned looking at him and he then stopped al
Chapter 111Zoa's POV.My leg hit the floor slowly as the tears drip down my cheeks. Not that I didn't want to be with her when I had the chance to, but there was no time for me to ahd it was pretty hard for me.Things got really hard andthat was due to the whole incident. My Uber was yet to arrive and it was taking a lot of time for it to come.How could I tell Ria that Jade was bothering my family and I just because I didn't decide to be a spy for her? How could I let her know without her feeling guilty.My dad almost got partial stroke after he heard his little business collapse. I don't think I will have a choice anymore. If things get harder that this, I might just betray Ria at the end."Ria told me to check up on you." I heard that familiar voice. I've seen him talking several times with Jade but it seemed like he doesn't know me, and I don't want to be close with him."Are you not Jade's friend? What the hell are you doing here? You are not even supposed to here. Did she send
