JEROME.

“Did you find the flash drive?” I asked without taking my eyes off the shredded documents.

Andy looked at me with a complicated expression and lowered his head.

“I'm sorry boss but we didn't.” He whispered just loud enough for me to hear.

“She's not stupid.. She knows you've been trying to recover the flash drive.” I clenched my jaw in frustration knowing I was losing control.

“I'm afraid you'll have to keep playing this game till we find out where she'd hidden them.”Andy suggested and I waved my hand to dismissed and he excused himself immediately.

Only when he'd left did I raise my head and heaved a sigh, anger still evident in my eyes.

I glanced at the shredded papers and it only made my blood boil.

How dare she throw a tantrum when I'm doing everything for her?

Divorce? Not going to happen.

“You'll have to try harder, Luv.” I muttered under my breath as I stood up and walked towards the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the maze with my hands shoved into my pocket.

    “Is it true you left your Girlfriend to go be with your ex wife instead?” There seemed to be a long pause after that as I locked eyes with an unfamiliar reporter.I was about to ask for her name and the company she works for when Autumn came out of nowhere and snuggled her arm around mine.“Smile for the camera, Jay. You don't want them to know we're at log heads?” She said in between clenched so low only I could hear while she forced a smile for the camera.I cleared my throat as the flashes just wouldn't stop.My patience was running thin and this bitch was trying to make things worse.“Sorry guys but we won't be answering any more questions, as you can see Jay is exhausted from working so hard. He needs to rest for a while.” She spoke with a lazy smile on her face. Anyone who saw her at the moment would think she was truly going through something.“Get out of my way everyone.” My voice was dangerously low and this time no one dared to block my path as I walked towards my car with A

    Ava's PovI looked up to the mirror, my chest slightly heaving. The red silk dress that I had gotten just yesterday hung beautifully to my figure, the small train resting on the mahogany floors.I ran my hand slowly over my waist, my wedding ring shining in the light of the room. My eyes slowly fell on the reflection of my husband behind me. A sad smile rested on my face.He was looking away, fixing his tie. Just like I was seeing him for the first time, my heart skipped a beat, and I could feel myself going hot again.Jerome Parker, my husband, is the most perfect man ever. Three years ago, I was lucky enough to marry him, and even though he was mostly cold, I believed I could love him for both of us.A small smile lit up my eyes as I watched him adjust his tie, then look up to me. His dark blue eyes met mine in the mirror, and I couldn't bring myself to look away.I still couldn't believe that after three years, we were finally celebrating our marriage.Being married to Jerome has b

    Ava's PovGold Star Hotel was just another one of the Parker group's various hotels that was spread all over California. Tonight, it was illuminated with bright lights, and I could see a large mural of us right outside.It was my favourite picture of us, and it had been taken days before the wedding. Jerome was behind me, his chin resting on my shoulder, a smile on his face. His dimples sunk in, his eyes held twinkles, and he was holding me around my shoulders, and his other hand rested on my waist. I still wonder where that Jerome went. Was he just very good at acting? Did he never really care for the wedding? A part of me wanted to believe that he at least cared for me. That something hard changed after the wedding, but he... at some point in time, cared for me.I slowly got out of the car and walked up to the front entrance. I stopped by the mural again, and I took in a sharp breath. Maybe I just had to wait five years. Maybe I just had to wait a little more.A sigh left my lips,

    Ava's PovI ran down the same long spiral stairs, my chest heaving hard, my body shaking. I couldn't believe what had just happened in there. Jerome... Autumn. Now, it suddenly all made sense. The reason he was never at home. The reason we never moved into the house we had deemed to be our dream home. The reason he never touched me. I was just his placeholder wife, and she was the woman who had his body, his soul, his heart.It broke me that after three years, he could never still love me. Did he drive her down here? How did it feel having him sleep on the same bed? Being able to touch him, being able to feel his kisses?"Ava!"Before I could react, a strong hand grabbed my arm and turned me around violently, forcing me to stop.My eyes met Jerome's, and in our entire three year marriage, this was the most emotion I saw in his eyes. He looked livid, like he could kill someone."What the fuck do you think you are doing?" He asked, his teeth gritted, his eyes wide. "What the fuck do you

I hissed in pain, struggling to keep my eyes closed. But I couldn't sleep anymore, and with great effort, I fluttered my eyes open to find myself staring at a white ceiling. "What happened?" I murmured to myself, my hand instinctively going to my throbbing head. I managed to sit up and looked around, taking in my surroundings. I was in a hospital room. The last thing I remembered was lying helplessly at the bottom of the stairs. As I took deep breaths, memories came flooding back like an ocean, reminding me of the betrayal and how I was pushed down the stairs by Autumn. I glanced at the IV drip connected to my hand and ripped it off without hesitation, wincing as I began bleeding. But I felt numb, and quietly, I picked up a tissue and gently wiped away the blood stain before forcing myself out of be
