"Come in!" I called out, placing my phone on the bedside table, anticipating the arrival of the person who had knocked.

''Mrs. Carter...'' greeted the maid who had organized the packages earlier, as she peeked inside. ''Would you like me to prepare your bath?''

They were really treating me like a princess here. ''That's alright--''

''Helen. My name is Helen...'' she smiled warmly at me.

I acknowledged with a nod. ''That's alright, Helen. No need to bother yourself...''

''Okay...'' she replied with a smile, gently closing the door with a soft thud.

I reached for my phone once more, but accidentally activated the voice messages, and Flora's voice filled the room as I hit the speaker button. I had ignored all her calls before the wedding, so she might have left several messages. The content of the message instantly made me regret listening.

''What the fucking hell are you doing, Riley?'' she spat out angrily. ''Did you really think you could just force me out of my job

I was simply too drained, too weak, and too exhausted.I was simply lying in my bed, in my room, but I felt so inexplicably tired. My brain seemed to cease functioning, possibly due to the stress from Flora and the people bashing me on social media.''It's none of your business!'' I retorted, though my voice still sounded so weak. "Didn't I tell you to mind your own?! Leave me alone!"Enzo's jaw clenched as he took long strides towards me, prompting my protective instincts to kick in, causing me to scoot back and clutch my knees even tighter.I gulped as he approached my bed, his eyes darting to the untouched food tray on my nightstand before fixing a stern glare on me. "Get out!"''Eat...'' he ordered, his voice brooking no argument, ignoring my tantrums.I shook my head, dismissing his command as I averted my gaze away from him. ''I'm not hungry...''

    Chapter 094ReeseThe next morning, I woke up to find Enzo and Riza in the dining room, already dressed for work and school. The maids were busy preparing breakfast, and I sat down next to Riza once more. As she did yesterday, her face lit up when she saw me."Good morning, Leese...'' Her smile revealed her tiny, adorable teeth as she greeted me."Good morning, sweetheart...'' I returned her smile warmly, leaned in, and kissed the top of her head.Her giggle faded, prompting a concerned look from me. "Are you feeling better now? Da... Uncle Enzo mentioned you were sick." Concern was evident on her face as she glanced at Enzo, then back to me.I halted my hand before it could take a piece of garlic bread. "I'm okay now, Riza. I feel much better," I assured her, and it was the truth. Her beautiful face had already made my day brighter."Riza couldn't sleep last night until I assured her you had eaten your dinner," Enzo remarked irritably, not looking at me as he bit into his bread.A wa

    Chapter 095ReeseI was still trying to process the information that Jimmy had said to me. Why did they invite my ex-boyfriend as well to that event? Weren't they aware that I was already married? Were they not aware that we were on bad terms due to our breakup?"I'm not sure who came up with the idea, but they believe having both you and Marcus on the show will be beneficial," Jimmy explained. "The goal is to quell the animosity between your fans since they've been clashing on social media. You have to think about this carefully, Riley."He was right. Marcus' fans and my fans were at odds, almost like adversaries. It wasn't uncommon for Marcus' fans to spread negativity about me, and mine about him."Any idea about this, Jimmy?" I asked him, wanting to know about his thoughts on this matter."Honestly, I think it's a good idea," Jimmy remarked, further complicating my already troubled thoughts. "You're married now.

I waited for my car to arrive while I stood in front of the house.Trevor had called the previous night to say he had reached his father's place in Greenwich Village, just a thirty-minute journey from Enzo's. I had forgotten that Trevor was originally from Manhattan and had only relocated to Los Angeles for work.When my car arrived, Trevor was in the front passenger seat next to the driver. I greeted him with a cheerful ''Hi, Trevor!'' It had been so long since I'd seen a familiar face.''Hi, Miss Riley...'' he replied, stepping out to open the back door for me. ''How are you? How's your married life?''I hesitated before responding to his questions. I wanted to express that it was a difficult one. I couldn't claim to love every part of it, but it wasn't as terrible as I had anticipated.''Is there someone I need to knock out?'' Trevor asked again, his

As Marcus handed me the microphone, our fingers brushed against each other, causing me to momentarily pause, and there was a smirk on his face when he noticed my expression. Nevertheless, I composed myself and, clearing my throat, proceeded to ask the question I had prepared the previous night.I wouldn't let him distract me tonight. I was here to work and not to be affected by his presence.''Go

Enzo lied effortlessly, igniting a desire within me to strangle him with my arms around his neck.Did he just call me clingy?''Sweetheart... isn't it enough that I hurried here from my meeting just to see you?'' he implored, his gaze compelling me to play along, while cameras flashed around us and reporters chuckled, commenting on our supposed sweetness as a couple. ''They're waiting to hear from you. Can't you hold off until we leave? And we'll have plenty of time after I return home later...''A laugh, tinged with frustration, burst from me, but only I understood the true sentiment behind it. To the outside world, I appeared to enjoy Enzo's words, yet I felt like the most unfortunate woman for having him as my lawful husband.''What can I say? You're always buried in work at the office, coming home late...'' I continued the charade, clenching my teeth in silence as I offered a

His statement was the most absurd thing I had ever heard, as if he considered himself a better person.''Naive...?'' I echoed his accusation. ''You know nothing about my relationship with Marcus! You know nothing about me! About my life and what I and Marcus went through! How could you even say that?''Yes, Marcus had made a mistake, but I despised how Enzo spoke of me as if I were the most foolish woman alive, and he was the smartest man on earth.''Alright, tell me...'' Enzo dared, his tone low and icy. ''Tell me one good thing about that guy! Tell me what that guy did to make you fall for him!''I felt my body tremble, loathing the fact that this conversation was forcing me to confess what I was about to reveal.''Marcus is at least the most genuine man I have ever met...'' I said, lifting my chin. ''I fell in love with him because he was real. He wasn't like those who used me for their gain. He

''It's just this once, Riza...'' she said, offering a comforting smile. ''Remember, your uncle needs to meet his business partner early today since they have a flight to catch to Germany, right?''Riza merely nodded, but the sadness in her eyes was still obvious. Suddenly, an idea struck me. ''I can drop you off at school, Riza...'' I offered cheerfully. ''If you'd like that...''Her head whipped towards me, her face alight with sudden excitement. ''Really?''

She was using a cane for support, and a metal brace extended along her right leg. What happened to her? Had she been involved in a fight with her fellow inmates?Our eyes locked, yet her expression revealed no emotion. She appeared to have lost considerable weight, her once fake ginger hair now dark and cut very short. Her complexion appeared quite pale, and she seemed excessively thin, a stark contrast to the woman I believed I had fallen in love with.Mandy was hardly recognizable.''Mandy...'' I spoke as she settled into the chair opposite me, with the guard positioned a few meters behind her.Mandy regarded me with an expressionless face. ''What the fuck are you doing here?''I observed her closely, noting the animosity reflected in her eyes.''I came to say goodbye. I'm leaving Manhattan...'' I replied, anticipating her inquiry

    Chapter 147Troy I had just paid a visit to my mother's grave and opted to enjoy a coffee at a nearby café beforehand. As I gazed through the glass window, I noticed a woman on the pavement across the street who bore a striking resemblance to my ex-wife. Her long peach dress, covered with a coat, fluttered in the breeze as she stood, lost in thought, staring down the road. She brushed a strand of her ginger hair away from her face with the back of her hand, a gesture so familiar that it sent a jolt through my heart.I rose abruptly, inadvertently knocking over my cup of coffee. The woman turned her lovely face upward, and for a fleeting moment, it felt as though she was looking directly into my eyes. In that instant, I realized that the woman was indeed my wife. I recognized her without a doubt.ReeseThe last time I had seen her at the office, she had noticed me but chose to ignore my presence, heading straight for the elevator to meet her husband, Lorenzo Carter.Prior to that, I h
