Chapter 1: Unfortunate Dinner

“You were never enough for me.”Flora Grey blinked at the harsh words from her husband, Henry Grey as the fork fell from her hand. They were eating dinner in the summerhouse Henry’s parents had given to them as a gift for their third anniversary. Classical music was playing softly from the speakers in the room but it all sounded so far away to her as she stared at Henry.Tears stung her eyes, threatening to spill and ruin her delicate makeup. Flora hated crying, it turned her face so red and splotchy she looked like she was having an allergy attack. Henry dropped his fork and picked up the napkin by his plate to wipe his mouth. His dark grey eyes were devoid of any feeling. “Stop crying now, I’m not done talking.”“Where is this coming from Henry?” Flora said, her voice breaking. She rubbed her face, trying to stop her tears from falling. She wasn’t really shocked, but she was angry. Angry with him for what he had just dared to say to her, and for surprising her with a trip to this be

Chapter 2: The Aftermath

Eva Wilson, Flora’s closest friend, rolled her eyes heavily as she went through the contents of the papers Flora had brought to her. After Flora had cried out the majority of her anger and grief at her marriage ending, she’d taken a minute to collect herself before packing the papers Henry had given to her and setting them neatly on the table. As if on autopilot, Flora had robotically cleared the table of their cold abandoned food and put all the leftovers in the fridge. Then she’d washed the dishes and treated herself to a long hot bath to soothe her nerves. She was going to need all her strength to face the day. There were no servants to help Flora, because mistakenly, she had assumed Henry would want to touch her after so long and dismissed all the maids employed in the summerhouse. How stupid she had been.The signs had been there all along, but Flora had been too naïve to see them. When Henry had started keeping late nights, he had told her it was because his new promotion at w

Chapter 3: Painful Discovery

Eva’s sleek car came to a stop in front of the mansion Flora and Henry shared. Flora recognized the black and gold gate, and the gorgeous architecture of the building, but this place no longer felt like home to her.When it fully became hers after the divorce was finalized, she would sell it. Of everything she would receive after the law recognized her separation from Henry, it was the one thing that would constantly remind her of her cheating husband and disastrous failure of a marriage, and she didn’t need that.“You’re sure you don’t want me to come in with you?” Eva asked as Flora opened the car door. She looked at Flora with a face full of concern. “I could stay and help you pack what you need.”“I couldn’t make you do that, Eva,” Flora refused gently as she came down. “I know you got called in for something urgent at work. Don’t worry about me, I’ll take a cab to your apartment once I’m done.”“You’re sure? It wouldn’t be a problem, Flo. Really.” Eva said as she handed Flora her

Chapter 4: Making Plans

Henry pushed Flora aside and wrapped Olivia in a hug as she continued crying.“My God, Flora,” he scolded, shouting at her. “Why would you do that? I understand you’re upset but you can’t just do that. She’s your sister!”Flora ignored him and walked to her wardrobe. She pulled out a box and opened it, pushing her clothes – her real clothes, not the nonsense Henry’s mother liked – into it forcefully. Next, she threw in a pair of slippers and flat shoes. She packed other essentials into the box and zipped it up firmly. She jerked up the box and rolled it past her slimy husband and evil sister.“Flora!” he called out, still embracing Olivia. “You can’t leave like this, we-we still need to talk.”She paused and looked at him from head to toe. How had she ever thought this man was attractive? Now that theveil of love was gone, Flora could list a thousand things that were not pleasing about Henry. His beard was unkept, his hands were too bony, his chest was too wide. To boot, he was a cow

Chapter 5: Moving On

Flora did not have many friends apart from Eva, and certainly none with husbands who had cheated on them with their sisters. But even if she had, she was sure no wife who had been so betrayed would be doing what she was doing right now; going through the social media pages of the mistress.She had not meant to look up anything related to Olivia, or even Henry. Of a truth, Flora was bored. After she and Eva had spoken, Eva had formally informed Henry’s lawyers that they were rejecting the terms of the divorce that he had offered. Instead, she was now demanding half of Henry’s shares in his company, Sunstraight Manufacturing Ltd. Amazingly, she was going to get all this plus all the other assets, including the houses and cars. Flora had been afraid at first, that this would make Henry blow up and recruit his mother and sisters against her but Eva had told her that things were moving quite smoothly. It turned out that all he was really concerned about was that Flora

Chapter 6: Live Life A Little

“Okay, you have to pick one milady. Green shimmery dress or cobalt tube gown?” Eva held each selection to her body as she mentioned them. She struck a pose, waggling her brows at Flora. “Come on Flo, pick one. Personally, I recommend the cobalt. Show off those curves to the world girl.”Flora rolled her eyes, dropping the book she’d been attempting to read before Eva had begun her mini fashion show. “I’m not going to a nightclub Eva. I haven’t been to one in what, five years? What would I even do there?” She shook her head, making her chestnut hair fall free from the loose bun she’d packed it into. “I don’t think I even remember how to dance.”Eva blew out an irritated breath, one hand on her hip. “You’re not some old grandma; you’re in your twenties! It’s your literal prime. Just because Henry kept you locked up doesn’t mean you can’t live life a little now that he’s out of the picture.”“By drinking myself half to death and ending up with a kil

Chapter 7: A Handsome Stranger

The moment she saw the Cherub, Flora wondered what she had been so scared about. It was a beautiful place, and the very sight of it soothed her nerves. The actual building resembled a magnificent mansion that was lit up with electrical lights that were designed like medieval lamps. In front of the entrance was a huge water fountain that was lit up from underneath with blue and yellow lights that gave it the illusion of an intricate water show.All around the building were fully grown palm trees that nearly towered over the building, lending sophistication to the entire location. Flora could barely contain her gasp as she got down from the car. “I told you,” Eva said with a huge grin. “It’s a swanky place.”Her friend was wearing the cobalt tube gown she had tried and failed to convince Flora to wear. It hugged her body like a lover, emphasizing her slim hips and tiny waist. The gown was strapless, and Eva’s midnight black hair fell over her shou

Chapter 8: Cinderella

“At my service?” She rose her eyebrows at him. “Are you going to show me all the secrets of the Cherub?”He did not reply to her for a second, letting his gaze trail all over her and Flora fought the shivers that went down her spine at his obvious attraction to her.Really, he was the epitome of sophistication, his tailored tuxedo accentuating his chiseled features and piercing eyes. His commanding presence drew attention yet he seemed unfazed by the admiring glances, devoting his attention to her and her only.It was a heady drug, his attention, one that was intoxicating yet very unsettling. When she had left behind the clothes that were made for her body type and begun wearing maternal clothes that suited a woman several sizes bigger, it was as if she had become invisible. Due to Henry’s insistence, she had started staying at home so much more which limited her human contact. Often, the only people she would speak to in a week were the servants, Eva and Henry’s mother when she call

Chapter 9: Discovering the Stranger

Flora lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling. Despite drinking some chamomile tea before retiring for the night, she had not been able to sleep until very late into the night, and even when she had managed to fall asleep, she would always wake up after an hour or two before getting so tired she would succumb to sleep once more. Her rest had proven restless and Flora knew exactly why. It was the guilt of leaving Damien the way she had, with so little explanation for her strange behavior. What must he be thinking of her now?His concerned face flashed in her mind and she cringed, embarrassment flooding through her. She had not meant to leave him so abruptly, but she had felt like she was suffocating, the weight of her doubts and fears crushing her. Flora had enjoyed the kiss but the panic that followed was overwhelming. She’d thought she was ready to move on but the kiss had brought all her insecurities flooding back, filling her with a feeling of inadeq

Chapter 10: Family Drama

As the plane descended, Flora’s heart quickened with each passing minute. She peered out of the window, her eyes scanning the landscape below. The sprawling city was bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun, casting long shadows over the horizon.The familiar sights brought a sense of unease, a feeling that had been gnawing at her since she had booked her ticket. As the aircraft taxied to a stop, she took a deep breath, steeling herself for what lay ahead. She gathered her belongings and made her way down the narrow aisle, the hum of the engines fading into the background as she stepped onto the tarmac. The crisp evening air greeted her and the warm sunshine enveloped her, a stark contrast to the chill that had settled in her bones. She had been dreading this trip for weeks, but she knew it was necessary. She had to face her father and stepmother, to tell them the truth about her marriage and the impending divorce. She couldn’t do it over the
