SOPHIA.“The necklace looks good on you, Mrs Hart. A necklace fit for a Queen,” Tracy, my personal stylist, complimented as she did my hair. I looked in the mirror, admiring the necklace that Lucas gave me. It had a white gold chain with a teardrop-shaped diamond at its center. Smaller diamonds surrounded the larger rock, adding more sparkle to it.“It was a gift from my husband,” I replied, my heart swelling with warmth. Lucas had not said anything about the necklace, but I had a feeling it meant a lot to him and for him to give it to me… did that mean…?No, I couldn’t jump to conclusions. He was yet to answer my question about the nature of our relationship and it was starting to make me anxious. “Your husband loves you a lot. I’ve never seen Mr Hart treat any other woman so well before,” Tracy remarked. She looked at me through the mirror, smiling. “How do you want your hair done?” “Put it up… I want the necklace to show,” I replied. He did say I should show it to everyone. Tr

SOPHIA. My heart skipped a beat and I turned, seeing Lucas walking towards us like he owned the place. His eyebrows were creased and he had one hand in his pocket as he looked at the scene before him. He stepped closer, his expression dark with fury. “What’s going on here?” “U-Uncle… I’ve been looking for you. Grandpa said you were in a meeting with some of his friends,” Elias immediately said, trying to distract him. However, Ashley suddenly smirked. “Mr Hart, you won’t believe it. This divorcee claimed you would fall for her!” She rolled her eyes. “I told her if you fall for her, I would cut off my pinky! What a joke… how dare she make such claims? She’s just an abandoned woman who doesn’t deserve your time!” The air around us suddenly turned cold and Elias’s face turned pale. “Uncle… let’s go back to the—”“She was so confident, Mr Hart!" Nicole cut in eagerly. "She even dared to place a bet on whether you would give her the time of day. Ha! I told her I would kneel and bark

SOPHIA. Ashley and her friends were visibly shaking now. Long gone were their complacent expressions. Their faces were crumpled like a deflated balloon as if someone had popped their pride with a pin. “M-Mr Hart, we are family, there’s no need for all this. We were just joking… it wasn’t that serious,” Ashley stammered, fear flitting through her eyes. “You were joking?" Lucas spat icily. "You mocked, bullied and insulted my wife and you say it wasn’t that serious? What the heck do you take me for?” “It was all Ashley, Mr Hart. She’s the one who told us to mock Sophia! We didn’t want to do it but she said she would give us a Hermes bag each!” Nicole yelled, pointing at Ashley. “If anyone should get punished, it’s her. Not us!”“That’s right!” Michelle uttered. “I didn’t want to do this in the first place.” Ashley’s eyes grew into saucers when her friends threw her under the bus. “No... it wasn’t me!” She denied it and turned to Violet before pointing a finger at her. “It was her!

SOPHIA. “Lucas, if something happens to our father, I’ll hold you responsible!” Richard yelled, pointing an accusing finger at Lucas. Lucas didn’t reply, simply looking at his father with creased eyebrows. Everyone could tell he had fake collapsed again but Richard was trying to blow things out of proportion. “Richard, we’ve all seen that there’s nothing wrong with your father. He’s just shocked by the news,” an elderly woman said. “How sure are you that there’s nothing wrong with him? His granddaughter-in-law became his daughter-in-law, do you really think he’s fine?” Richard spat. “The forbidden marriage must have given him a heart attack!” Olivia said. Looking at me, she sneered. “Father trusted Sophia a lot. Who knew that she would seduce my brother-in-law just to stay in the family and benefit from our wealth? I heard the Adams Group is on the verge of bankruptcy, she must have schemed her way into Lucas’s bed and forced him to marry her!”“Mom, I doubt Sophia can do that! S

ELIAS. “Sophia, if you walk out that door with my uncle, you will never get another chance to apologise! I’ll never accept you back even if you beg me!” I yelled, frustration creeping into me. Sophia simply chuckled, holding the bastard’s arm lovingly. “Luca, let’s go. We are done here.” They both glanced at me, giving me a taunting smirk before turning to leave. I couldn’t believe what was happening.When I heard news about Sophia coming to the party, I thought she was coming here to beg me so I could take her back. However, not only was she not here for me, but she was also married to Lucas Hart, my uncle and biggest nemesis.How could she do this to me?I clenched my hands into fists, glaring at Sophia and my so-called uncle as they walked out of the lounge, hand in hand like a happy couple. I could feel my body trembling with rage, jealousy surging within me like a tidal wave. How dare they make a fool of me?They must have been having an affair, no wonder Sophia was so eage
