Chapter FourteenAndrew's jaw slackened completely. Aria wasn’t left out; she wasn’t aware of that fact. “Didn’t the house belong to Andrew?” She drew her brows together, confused.However, she didn’t want to believe Sharon's words.“Are you saying this place belongs to you? There is no way that’s possible.” Aria scoffed and glanced over at Andrew, who had fallen into total silence. She wanted him to defend himself, but Andrew couldn’t say a word. Aria's brows knitted together tightly. Was Sharon stating the facts?Sharon clearly remembered how she gathered her money to buy them a nice house after Andrew complained about how broke he was and how bad his company was moving when they wanted to get married. Buying the house was part of the reason she was penniless after their marriage, but in return, she was betrayed. But how could she be so stupid not to notice all the obvious? Sharon's eyes scanned around the house that was painted in Aria’s favorite color; everything in the house w
Chapter FifteenThe moment she walked outside the apartment, Sharon slipped into the black sedan car parked outside.She was happy that she was able to leave the two in confusion, but she knew that the real battle had just begun. Aria won’t sit still, as well as Andrew. They were going to do anything to drag her through the mud.Sharon quietly opened up the ring box she had picked from the drawer. A soft smile escaped from her lips at the sight of the two rings and the thoughts of her mother. It was the only thing her mother had left behind personally for her. The diamond ring was one of their family inheritances, and it had been passed down from generation to generation. Sharon had thought she would be wearing it with Andrew, but it turned out to be the other way around. She doubted if she would be able to wear it with anyone. She knew she would be breaking family tradition, but she was quite sure her ancestors would understand her situation.She dropped the box into her bag before
Chapter sixteen. Dee left her room afterward, and Sharon was left alone. Her mind reeled with possibilities of where Mathew could be taking her, but she didn't dwell on them. Rising to her feet, she walked to her closet. Deciding to change out of the long gown Dee had selected for her that morning for the lawyer's office visit, she stripped down and changed into something simpler and more casual. Just as she finished dressing up, a knock came on her door. She thought Dee had come, but after the door opened, it turned out to be Tara. Tara raised her brows slightly the moment she walked in, and her gaze rested on Sharon, who was standing in front of the mirror. “Are you going somewhere?” She immediately asked her. “Yes. Matthew said we are going somewhere.” Sharon responded, turning to her face. “And you are going in that?” Tara's brows raised even higher as her eyes scanned through Sharon from head to toe. “Is something wrong with my dress?” Sharon mumbled, and she took
Chapter Seventeen Just as Sharon thought, it turned out to be a very long day. Sharon sighed dejectedly as she put on the sixth dress. No matter what Madam Shan picked for her, Mathew rejected them, saying it didn’t suit his taste and wasn’t what he was looking for. “What exactly is he looking for?” Sharon clenched her fist angrily. For a moment, she felt like strangling the man. She took a deep breath. She knew that she needed to relax. Right now, the man was like her savior, and it was also part of the contract; she needed to follow it. She mustn’t be the one to defile it; after all, she would be the one who would be most greatly affected. “I pray he likes it." Madam Shan breathed as she completely zipped up Sharon’s dress. Sharon took a deep breath before stepping out of the dressing room with Madam Shan behind her. “What do you think about this?” Madam Shan asked Mathew, whose eyes were glued to the magazine in his hands. He glanced up at Sharon quietly, but j
Chapter Eighteen They are making their first appearance?Sharon didn’t think much about it. A little smile escaped from her lips; she was happy Mathew liked the dress and approved of it.Madam Shan packed the dress for them, and they were ready to leave. “I hope to see you next time, my lady.” She smiled so brightly at Sharon.They finally walked out of the store, heading outside to where the car was parked.Sharon slipped into the car, placing her dress right beside her.A smile escaped from her lips as her eyes went out of the car window. She had seen the dumbfounded expression on Mathew’s face the moment she stepped out with the gown on.Sharon suddenly looked at the man busy with his phone again. She ignored the thought and rested her back.“You should branch over at the jewelry store; we are getting a ring,” Matthew ordered Remo, he never bothered to tear his gaze away from his phone.Sharon wasn’t sure if the last word belonged to her; she only looked at him with her brows r
Chapter nineteen Sharon watched Aria walk towards her at a fast pace. Behind her were some ladies whom she knew nothing about. “You know her?” One of the girls asked. “Of course, that’s my sister, the one who gave her husband divorce papers on the same day they married,” Aria mumbled, and her friends instantly gasped. “By chance, is she crazy?” One of the ladies asked, turning back to Sharon, who looked perfectly okay and fit. “You shouldn’t talk in that manner to her; she is my sister,” Aria said, but she clearly chuckled. Sharon wasn’t moved by all that; she folded her arms across her chest, watching all their dramas. "So, what are you doing here?” Aria asked, her eyes glaring through her. “I doubt if you can afford anything here. Didn’t you just pay Dad’s debts? Aren’t you broke? What are you doing in such an exclusive store?” She continued to ask her Aria knew she was penniless at the moment; she had just paid their father’s debts, and she couldn’t lay her fing
Chapter Twenty “Is she your bride?” The staff asked, looking so perplexed. She covered her mouth mildly in shock as she remembered all the harsh words she had said to Sharon. That could make her get fired at that instant. Sharon didn’t think about all that; she simply turned to Matthew and nodded. “I’m fine. Can we return home now? We have some unwelcome guests here, and I don’t want them to disrupt my shopping.” Hearing that, Mathew’s brows snapped together. “Do you want them shoved out of here? I don’t like anyone disturbing my wife.” Matthew said, and Aria's face dropped completely. Wife? Sharon is his wife? How could that be possible? How could she get such a man in such a few days? “No, it’s fine. There are our customers; it won’t be nice shoving them out rudely.” Sharon said politely Matthew was moved by Sharon’s maturity. He nodded and grabbed her hands warmly, ready to walk out of the store with her, but they were stopped by Aria’s voice. “Sister, you are already m
Chapter twenty-one Matthew and Sharon walked outside, and Remo instantly picked them up with the car.Sharon looked over at the man, who she didn’t expect to have acted cozy beside her. He had always acted grumpy and rude; for a minute, she liked this side of him.Her mind reeled back to how he had addressed her as “his wife,” and she found her face turning red.“Ma’am, are you okay?” Remo, who had mistakenly taken a peep at Sharon’s face from the rear mirror, questionedShe instantly erased any traces of excitement from her face, and a little frown appeared on her face instead.“I’m fine.” She mumbled, and her eyes fell out of the window.The rest of the drive was silent; Matthew didn’t bother to say a word until they arrived home.“We can get the ring another time; I don’t think today was the appropriate day.” Matthew's voice stopped Sharon as she was about to alight from the car.She nodded slightly and got out of the car. She walked towards her room with different thoughts runni
