CHAPTER 55

“Don't you have some little shame in you, Miss Ricks? Look how you're flaunting yourself on a married man in public." Cynthia rambled as soon as she got close to them and pushed Lila away from her husband's grip, which made her almost slip on the floor.

Lila remained mute. She calmed herself down because she knew it would be pointless arguing with a demented woman.

“Well, congratulations on your new achievement, Mr. & Mrs. Grey Shun. And to you, Mrs. Shun, I wish you a glamorous birthday. It's really nice meeting you, and I hope we meet again,” Lila said politely and sashayed back to her partner with her smiles, ignoring the bitter looks Cynthia was throwing at her.

“I said it! I know Derrick can never be associated with any good person in this life!” She continued.

“Enough! Cynthia, this is the last time I'll ever tolerate you talking ill of my brother again!” Grey yelled with a thunderous voice, which began to draw unwanted attention to their side. He had gotten enough

    Chapter 1Divorced on my birthday “Honey, you've not said anything since we got here. You neither compliment my dress nor comment on my food,” Lila said.Grey kept mute, as though she were talking to a ghost, not even lifting his eyes and looking at her.“I suppose today should be my happy day. You brought up the idea of us coming here to spend some time alone, and now you're staring at me without a word? Are we doing a retreat?” Lila was losing patience with the serene environment.“You would have allowed me to party with friends rather than with this attitude you're giving me now.”“Enough of the talk already, Lila!” Grey yelled at her, dropping his spoon on the table.“In fact, I'm done! I'm done with you. You and I know that there's no chemistry between us.” Standing up, he ducked his hands into his pocket, brought out a piece of paper, and handed it over to her.“Ensure you go through those papers and sign the divorce. If there's anything you don't understand, you can contact my

    Chapter 2Signing the divorce Lila sat on the bed, with a towel still tied around her chest. She reached for her handbag on the bedside table and carried the divorce papers.She was still reading the papers when the door flung open."Com'on, girl, how often will you keep staring at those papers? This is a new phase of life you need to face. What you should be doing now is figuring out how to rebrand yourself and move on while you plan on your revenge, not sticking to old pains.” Eucharia said as she dragged the papers from her friend's hands.“I'm not taking any revenge. Even though I'm heartbroken by the way he served me the divorce, it will do more good than harm to me. At least I'm free from bondage.”“Bondage? What do you mean by bondage? I thought you said earlier that you've never suspected him of having an affair.” Eucharia said. “Even though I never suspected him of that, I've never been happy in my marriage.”Lila instantly became mute, recalling the torment she passed thro

    Chapter 3Secret exposed!“Why am I not hearing a woman's voice? Could he be talking to himself, or maybe watching a movie? But what a coincidence that his movie will be talking about signing a divorce paper.” Lila's mind was buried in thoughts. Her chest was burning like fury; she felt like pushing the door and pouring acid on whoever was behind the crashing of her marriage. But a sudden thought came to her: that action would only lead her into more trouble, as she would be charged with a case of murder and might be sentenced to life imprisonment.Sounds of kisses and moans continued. She was dazed to hear her husband moan and scream a woman's name, something he had never done while married to her for a whole three years, making promises of giving her heaven on earth. Lila was just imagining how her husband was on top of another woman, banging her like one who had been starved of s*x for decades.“I don't know how dumb she is not to have known that we're in a relationship. Poor girl

    Chapter 4. Divorce conditions.“I know you had a long day. Why don't you take a shower and eat first? Then we can talk for all the hours that we like before we catch some sleep.” Lila wants Charia to eat first because she knows that once she narrates what happened to her, Charia will not enjoy the food as she should again.They both sat at the table and ate the delicacy made by Lila.“Oh, thank you so much for this sumptuous meal. Now, it is time to tell me how your day went.” Charia said.“Well, my day was not bad, since I didn't end up taking someone's life,” Lila answered."Like, what do you mean by taking someone's life? Did you have an accident on the road?”“Accidents would have been better. I'm talking about using my bare hands to kill someone.” Lila reiterated.“Please, maybe I'll understand you better if you stop talking in parables,” Charia said.“Okay, the simple explanation is that, finally, I was able to know the reason behind my marriage crash.” “Like seriously!

She must be stupid to think that I'll agree to all these conditions!” Grey yelled, throwing the paper on the bedside table and hitting the walls with his hands over and over again.The sound of his scream was so loud that it scared Cynthia who was in the kitchen with his mother. They ran upstairs to ask what was all the shouting for.“She is trying my patience and pushing me to the wall. Just take a look at what she's demanding before she'll sign the papers. Her plan is to render me bankrupt, but that will never happen.” He handed the pieces of papers to Cynthia which they both read with his mother.“Impossible! She wants to take over the company as well? I thought the company was in your name?” His mother asked.“That's why I said it must be unreasonable to think that I'll just give her what she demands on a platter of gold. The company is mine and will forever be mine” Grey added, hitting the table with his hands.Cynthia became

Don't tell me you're afraid of her already.” Grey questioned Cynthia as she came back, looking sorry.“Believe me, she's just an empty talking drum. She can do nothing.” He added. After a long gaze, Cynthia nodded her head in agreement with his statements.“I know, but you can never underestimate the words of an angry woman, especially when it has to do with her marriage.” Cynthia's mind was overpowered by fear.Grey drew her closer, placing one hand on her belly and the other around her waist. He gave her a passionate kiss on the forehead.“You're my world, honey, and I'll always be there for you and our children. Don't mind that ugly sister of yours; I know how to handle her.” He concluded, and Cynthia heaved a sigh of relief, but deep down in her mind, she's afraid for her unborn child.She went into the ward to meet her mother, who was seated beside her dying father.“I'm sorry, Daddy.

I'm sorry, my dear.” She heard the consoling voice of a man from behind, trying to lift her.“Thank you so much, sir. I'm fine. I'll just walk carefully down the street, Lila replied.“Com'on, I can walk you home if you want. Besides, I'm Grey Shun, also a newly admitted student.” He extended his hands for a handshake with Lila.Lila became nervous, feeling too shy to look at his face. How lucky was she to have attracted the compassion of such a handsome man? Yes, Grey is the pure definition of handsomeness. It is hard for a group of four girls to see him, and three will not have an instant desire for him.Since the death of her mother, a great gap has been created between Lila and love.

He locked his tongue into hers, giving her a passionate kiss.“Thank you for officially accepting the call into Shun's family. My love for you knows no bounds.” Grey confessed, and their tongues were locked into each other again. Gently landing her on the new sofa, specially bought and dressed with new bed sheets for their wedding night, he unhooked the wedding dress and all her inners, revealing the captivating figure eight that has been getting all men's attention in skirts. That was the sweetest and the only best day Lila could talk of when it came to her marriage with Grey.As the good wife that she is, Lila woke up as early as five o’clock and made her first breakfast for Shun's family b

You look tired,” Grey observed with a bit of concern when he saw the mood swing in his wife immediately after his mother left.“What did she tell her?” He wondered.“Isn't this what you wanted? That I go dance with your good-for-nothing brother while you dance with your mistress?” You and your mother are so despicable, Grey!” She said hoarsely with teary red eyes and made an attempt to move.“Where do you think you're going?” Grey demanded while he held her wrist tightly, drawing her back with force.“Let go of my hands! You're hurting me!” Cynthia screamed, hitting his hand hard with a violent pull of her wrist out of his grip.“What are those two doing? Fighting in an event they planned?” Derrick, whose eyes had been glued to them since he noticed their silly dance steps, muttered loudly with a frown.“Well, that's what w

Who is she? Plus, the name sounds familiar!” She claimed.“You know her, right?” Derrick replied immediately with a light grin on his face.“Is she your sister? Or your aunt? Or, is she your mother? Is she,”“Hey—hey—hey! Calm down.” Lila interrupted his speech, pressing her hands in the air to calm him down.“Who is the lady to you, and why are you so obsessed with knowing my connection to her? Besides, I don't even know her! I mean—this is the first time I'm hearing such a name!” Lila claimed with a plain face.“Is this woman cracking a joke or something?” he said inwardly, looking more confused at her funny act.“Lila, are you serious? You live in New York City, yet you don't know who Miss Mishell is? The m

It's all my fault! All this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't stepped in with the intention of salvaging the situation.” Lila added calmly, leering at Grey with a corner eye.She turned to Derrick and lifted his hands off her shoulders, shifting a seductive gaze at him. “De

    CHAPTER 51 THE RETURN OF LILA What Derrick never knew was that the woman he's planning to woo knows him more than he even knows himself. He insisted until Lila smiled with her eyes as she continued to pick the berries on the table, chewing them slowly. “You know for sure that no woman would say no to a handsome man like you, right? And you shouldn't expect that from me either! But—the problem is, what if I'm only moved by your physical demeanor without having true feelings for you?” She asked with a polite smile. “I only need you to love me, Lila. The reason behind the love doesn't matter,” Derrick said reluctantly but with a serious face. “Except if you're with your escort already,” he added, his voice leaking with a hint of flirtatiousness and jealousy. “You know already that I can't be here with you if I were already married or engaged; moreover, I don't flirt,” Lila responded with a plain look. Soon, the commissioning ceremony started, and Lila saw a young lady whos

    Chapter 50 JEALOUSY STRINGS While Grey was thinking of the fastest means to capture Lila's heart by blocking Derrick, Cynthia's mind felt at ease, heaving a deep sigh of relief. Just at first sight, she had pictured Lila as her rival already. “If you don't mind, can I at least take my guest to her seat?” Derrick said politely with a rich smile. “Sure. Make sure you give her the best treatment she deserves, please,” Mrs. Shun said with a smile, and Derrick's arm spread wide to receive Lila's hands. “Thanks, ma'am, it's really nice meeting you,” Lila returned the warm welcome with a mischievous smile, and her folded dimple didn't fail to captivate Derrick and Grey's hearts. Grey watched as Derrick and Lila walked towards the VIP seat. Swaying her waist deliberately, Lila's lips curled up with a smile at each step she took, not because Derrick was sounding funny but because she can't just imagine what must be going on in Grey and his wife's mind. Slowly, she turned her eyes and

    CHAPTER 49 INSTILLING FEAR “Oh, sorry, my attention was just caught by the beautiful couple standing over there,” Cynthia feigned an explanation when she saw a couple she knew walk in. “I gave them the invitation late, and I'm just surprised to see that they still made it,” she added with a faint smile, covering her guilt. She was gripped with fear; there was no way someone who had been declared dead some years ago would still be alive, right? “Well, I'm Cynthia, wife to the most handsome and richest man, as you can see, and thanks for gracing our occasion,” she said after heaving a sigh of relief, but the fear in her was still very evident. Lila nodded; the displeased frown on Grey's face for his wife's interruption was too evident to remain unnoticed by her, but that was her plan, by the way, so it gave her more satisfaction. The fear and doubt in Cynthia slowly dispelled when she quickly checked through her phone and confirmed from the pictures and the news about Lila'

She's there to watch the commissioning of the new company, the S&S Wine Empire, a collaboration of the Shuns and the Sims family. The venue was filled with men and women of the hierarchy dining harmoniously as they celebrated the new accomplishment of the Shuns and Sims family. She watched Cynthia and her mother dressed in pink alongside her ex-husband and his family. An achievement worthy of celebration to them was a heart-wrenching event for her. She felt her heart pounding in her chest whenever she saw their faces ignited with joy. The more she sees them wear a smile, the greater the pang of hatred and revenge burns in her heart. She just wished she could turn the whole table around and dismiss everyone from the hall. “Where do you think you are going? And... what are you trying to do, Lila?” A familiar voice whispered into her ear, and sudden

I can remember her following me on all my social media handles and would always give a thumbs up to our quality product advertisements,” Brian concluded and agreed with what she said.“Wow! That's good to hear. It shows that Mrs. Lila has been in love with the company since before she even married my client. With this, I believe you'll manage it well, as my late client has always wished it to be.” Barrister Joe agreed to their explanations and commented.Lila and Damian exchanged side glances and heaved a sigh of relief for successfully convincin
