All Chapters of Keeping His Promise—Not: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

When wandering the streets of Tenth Avenue in Mulverna all on my own, I never knew a person could feel such utter despair in a lifetime.Just like an idiot, I was played by Spencer Jacobson. I was lost and didn't know what to do. My phone still showed the text message that he had just sent me. It read, "Bindi, there are some urgent work matters I need to attend to. I'm leaving ahead of time." The stark contrast between his message and Natalia Saar's latest Facebook update was simply absurd. In the photograph, Spencer, who was always reserved when he was with me, was feeding her ice cream in such a loving manner. "The person who truly cares for you will always think about you, even if they went to the ends of the earth." To make matters worse, her best friends left "warm" comments at the bottom of the post. "May your love last forever!" one read."Some woman still failed to keep Spence by her side even after giving birth. What a joke." I had been hearing such sarcastic rem

Spencer went out again that night. I knew who he went to see because Natalia had just called him to say that she was out drinking. My husband, the man I was legally married to, went to keep her company because he was afraid that she'd hurt herself. I could never mimic that sweet and coquettish voice of hers. "Spencey, is Didi mad? It was my fault for interrupting your trip, but I really didn't do it on purpose. Could you please plead with her for forgiveness on my behalf?" Spencer was fuming to begin with. Hearing that from Natalia made him even more frustrated at me. "Why are you apologizing? I was the one who suggested going to keep you company. It had nothing to do with you. It was Bindi who didn't know her place. You don't have to worry about her." Spencer spoke on the phone in a loud voice right at my door, as if he was making sure that I could hear him.Nonetheless, he had already broken my heart to pieces. I would no longer make a fuss or get jealous over him anymore.

I almost couldn't recognize Spencer when I met him at the entrance to the courthouse. He looked scrawny and no longer had that vigor that he used to have.When he spotted Drew by my side, a fierce glare flickered across his eyes instantly. However, a helpless look returned to his eyes just as quickly.The divorce was finalized speedily. To my surprise, Spencer openly admitted to the staff member at the courthouse about his affair."I was afraid that others would badmouth you…" I was rendered speechless. "You just worried others would think that I cuckholded you because I brought Drew along with me today? Did you?"But guess what, Spencer? Truth be told, I would truly rather be cheated on than continue having anything to do with you." Drew stood by the car, smiling sweetly at me. Why had I never realized that this young man had such a sweet smile? "My love, I'm here to pick you up to get our marriage registered. Let's get away from this unlucky place." "Sure, darling."

I let out a genuine laugh at this moment.I picked up the artwork and smacked it lightly against Natalia's cheek. "If you've got the time to be thinking about men, you should put that effort into working on your designs instead. "That way, you would've known that Six Brothers' name was derived from a mythical butterfly native to North Arula. Then, you wouldn't have drawn a local, Slonian butterfly as you did in your design. What you drew has nothing to do with this brand."Oh, right. There's something else I forgot to mention." I let out a flippant laugh. "From today onward, I will be taking over as chairperson of Six Brothers' board of directors. You'd have to be a cat with nine lives to cause a commotion on my turf." It was obvious that Natalia was scared out of her wits. She pulled her phone out in a panic and made consecutive attempts to make outgoing calls. However, she failed to get through to the person she was trying to reach out to. I waved my phone at her. "Ms.
