God, I am pregnant," Giselle thought as she stared at the pregnancy test in her hands. She couldn't believe she was a month pregnant. Her phone rang, making her flinch as she picked it up. It was Cameron.She was about to take the call when the door opened, revealing Xavier. She got to her feet, her heart sinking as she stared at him. He wore an unhappy expression but looked at her as he approached."Hey, honey," she said, forcing a smile. He looked away from her and sat on the sofa. Giselle fiddled with her fingers as she sat next to him nervously. He placed his hand on his temple, resting his elbow on the sofa arm. "Honey?" He didn't respond, continuing to look everywhere but at her."What is wrong?" she asked, her voice almost breaking. His eyes moved to her. She gulped. His gaze rested on her. Her hands became sweaty as she dropped her gaze. "Giselle," he called, prompting her to look at him. He was looking at her."Yes?" "I want a divorce." She froze."Wha...what?

Your real parents were deranged people. They were miserable drunkards, and they are dead!" Nina spat.Giselle's heart dropped.She let out a breathless scoff."You are not a Dawson. Your name is Giselle Harrison. You don't share even a drop of our blood."Tears rolled down her cheeks."That explains your ridiculous behavior. A Dawson cannot bring shame to the family like you brought to yours. You are nothing but a dirty, filthy cheap whore!""Nina!" Terry interjected."What?!" she snapped at him.Giselle looked at him, her voice trembling. "Dad, is...is this true?""He is not your dad," Nina replied sharply.Giselle's heart ached painfully as she maintained her gaze on her father.He heaved a sigh, the expression on his face confirming Nina's words. They were not her parents.Giselle let out a breathless scoff of disbelief. Her heart felt weak."I am sorry, Giselle. But it is the truth. You are not our daughter," he said, causing her to place a hand on her chest as more tears poured f

Xavier was focused on the file in his hands.This was real. Giselle thought."Oh, good day, Sir," Rob said, standing to his feet.Sir? Giselle thought.She looked back at Xavier. He hadn't noticed her yet; he was still busy with the file. She stood slowly, scanning his appearance. He was dressed in a very expensive blue suit, looking very different and...And more handsome."Hello, Rob," he said.A lump formed in Giselle’s throat at the sound of his voice."How was your night?" he asked."Awesome, sir. The interview started a few minutes ago," Rob replied, which made Xavier look up from his file. His eyes first went to Rob and then at Giselle.His face twitched.It was really him."Xavier," she called, staring at him with emotions in her eyes."What the hell?" he said, scowling at her.Her heart raced."What is this whore doing here?" he asked Rob, without looking away from her.A sting shot through her heart."Um... She is one of the many who came for the interview, sir," Rob stutter

The files fell from her hands. The sound separated them from the kiss and attracted their attention toward her. "What the hell?" Arabella asked. Xavier scoffed mockingly. Giselle's heart ached again as she leaned down to pick up the files. The other girls joined to help her. "What incompetence," she heard Darlyn say. "What can I say, babe? People are always lousy, and they don't take their jobs seriously," Xavier replied, making Giselle look at him. He was gazing at Arabella and touching her face admiringly. Arabella scoffed. "Why don't you just fire them all?" Xavier chuckled. "Finding new employees can be stressful. You look very beautiful, by the way. I missed you," he said, smiling at her as he wrapped his hands around her waist and kissed her lips again. Like before, his eyes moved to Giselle. She dropped her gaze to the files she was picking up. She heard Xavier giggle. "I missed you too, babe," she said. More kissing sounds reached Giselle’s ears, adding to t

“Did you see my ring on her finger? You remember it, don't you? That's my mother's diamond ring.""You had it, but you chose to defile it with your slutty ways.""But it is fine. It is now on the finger of a more beautiful and genuine woman. A celebrity model who suits my class and status."Giselle's heart tightened severely as Xavier’s awful words repeated in her mind. Tears rolled down her cheeks continuously as she focused her gaze on the road through the windows.She was currently on a bus, heading to Blaire’s place. It was late already, past closing hours. The night was cold because of the rain, and she didn't have an umbrella. According to the address Blaire had given her, she figured she would still have to walk in the rain to reach Blaire’s apartment.That was the least of her worries. She hated her life. She hated everything that was happening to her. She hated herself so much and regretted every bit of her actions from that fateful night five years ago. That night had ruined
