&quot;You tramp! You still have the nerve to step your feet in here?&quot; Victoria blocked the young woman&#039;s way.<br /> &quot;I don&#039;t have any affairs with you Victoria. Where&#039;s Devon?&quot; Ariel slowly enunciated trying to keep her cool.<br /> &quot;He wouldn&#039;t waste even a little time with you. Leave!&quot; Victoria dismissed her.<br /> &quot;Devon! I know you&#039;re here! Please, let me explain!&quot; Ariel continued shouting and pleading at the same time.<br /> &quot;Shameless woman! LEAVE!!&quot; The matriarch shouted.<br /> &quot;No!&quot;<br /> &quot;You! You&#039;re the reason for all of these! You biss!&quot; Ariel&#039;s patience suddenly depleted when she saw the wicked woman.<br /> &quot;Devon!&quot; The visitor hugged the man and pleaded with him.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t you dare lay a hand on her.&quot; Devon said without sparing a glance at the woman and quickly distanced himself from Ariel.<br /> &quot;Why----&quot;<br /> &quot;She&#039;s pregnant with Devon&#039;s child,&quot; Victoria answered Ariel&#039;s unfinished question.<br /> &quot;Noooooo!!!!&quot; <br /> ————————<br /> Natalia&#039;s POV<br /> Oily skin? Check.<br /> Chapped lips? Check.<br /> Dry hair? Very check.<br /> This is me now. Natalia Yushkova. After being married for three freaking years, my marriage slowly ripped apart.<br /> Having the name of Yushkova attached to yours can make you into another whole person. Everything must be precise or much better--- perfect. All eyes are on you waiting for you to make mistake and be taunt countless of times.<br /> It all happened to me. And I cannot recall how many times. Thanks for my two-faced bestfriend that has been ALWAYS there for me whenever something funny happens.<br /> Oh yes. Always.<br /> Even inside our own home. We are currently residing at the Yushkova mansion. We never separated from my husband&#039;s parents. Never got to design our own bedroom, never got to do shopping for our curtains and never got to choose a paint for our own wall.<br /> Every move inside the house was being monitored. Heck, even our honeymoon was not even special and sacred.<br /> As I&#039;ve said, my best friend, Ariel Zippi who&#039;s been with me through good and worst times, was and will always be compared to me.<br /> My mother-in-law, Victoria, would deliberately state at the whole family gatherings how she wish she has a daughter-in-law like Ariel. To the point she invited her to have a long term vacation at the Yushkova manor. Very considerate. I know!<br /> Being only a twenty-three year old housewife is not much of a great honor for me anymore. Most of the time, I am deprived of going out with my friends and seeing my own family.<br /> I have wasted my married life being the perfect wife I could never be for my husband, Devon and a perfect in-law his family could ever dreamed of.<br /> My husband keeps himself busy at the business empire his father, Euro, founded. I only see him every midnight and when my alarm hits six o&#039;clock in the morning, he&#039;s already gone for work. He never defended me once and well, that&#039;s how life is unfair to me.<br /> As for the rest of his family, they treated me like a wall flower. Only necessary on gatherings such as tonight as well as in the moments of bantering.<br /> Later, we&#039;re having a celebration for our good-for-nothing wedding anniversary. Can&#039;t wait.<br /> Enough of this pretentious blissful household, this is one of few times that I will see my family. Oh how much I&#039;ve missed them.<br /> Victoria sent a team of make up and fashion guru inside the master&#039;s bedroom to make sure I will be presentable in everyone&#039;s eyes. The experts looked at me from head to toe and their eyes expressed a shock tone. I&#039;m not a ghost.<br /> You see, my skin is now pale white and my once toned body was reduced to a fragile looking one. I lost my sense of fashion and no one taught or criticized me about it. Totally invisible.<br /> &quot;Natalia. So nice to see you. It&#039;s been few years since your wedding day.&quot; The fashion expert, Ziv, uttered.<br /> I didn&#039;t answer but gave him a peck on his cheeks in return to the same gesture he initiated.<br /> &quot;Where are those clothes that I&#039;ve pledged to give you every month?&quot; He questioned me unhappily as he scanned me circling my body.<br /> Really? Hmm. Now I know where Ariel brought &#039;her&#039; collectible custom made clothes from.<br /> &quot;I&#039;ve given it to a really close friend of mine. You know me, I don&#039;t want to repeat clothes. Forgive me?&quot; I replied shrugging my shoulders and walked gracefully to my dresser.<br /> &quot;Of course gem.&quot; Ziv answered. He was one of those few persons that I trust. He once told me that he knows what a true gem is when he sees one. He even called Ariel a barbie and a leech to which he earned a scolding from me back on the day of my wedding. He really do know what he says.<br /> Milda, the make up artist and also an elite in the industry, had done a great job on moisturizing my skin before caking me up and made my skin glow with no effort.<br /> &quot;Many thanks to you two.&quot; I said from the bottom of my heart as I scanned myself on the mirror after three hours of beautification. There&#039;s no more trace of a haggard looking housewife. A glowing and fierce woman has resurfaced instead. My old self.<br /> &quot;Ziv, as promised, I will give you three of my sketch designs.&quot; I uttered to the man.<br /> &quot;Are you serious?! Give me! Give them to me!&quot; He panicked in a good way and raised up his two hands to received from me.<br /> I walked towards my wardrobe chuckling and opened my vault. And there it is. My handmade folder full of sketches of clothes and jewelries. I have piles of it since it&#039;s only once a year that Ziv and I can converse and get together. The Yushkovas tapped my mobile phone and put tracker into it. Same goes with my laptop.<br /> Ziv made an &#039;N&#039; clothing line bearing my designs that I have gifted him back in the days of me being a maiden.<br /> &quot;Thank you for these my gem. My competitors will salivate again with these creations. Do not worry, the profit of N line is secured on your personal account under your maiden name.&quot; He winked at me.<br /> &quot;I know I can trust you my friend.&quot; I uttered grinning.<br /> A secret. I earned millions from those sketches. I said to Ziv that I only need a portion of the gains but he gave me eighty percent instead. He said I deserved it as Ziv treated me as his consultant and that his name will be at the peak once my designs materialized. Which it did. He&#039;s now a worldwide respected fashion guru and creator.<br /> &quot;Milda, as for you, a set of limited artist-designed jewelry by yours truly.&quot; I gave her a simple black box containing the trinkets. I owned a jewelry shop from my unmarried days---The Belle Shop. I have my dummy owner and CEO, Trish Vene, to take over the business before I got married.<br /> Why? Because the Yushkova family drafted a prenuptial agreement to the distate of Zimmer household, my family. So as to appeased my parents, I was forced to let go of my wealthy aspirations in life to protect what&#039;s mine and give a face to my family. Which I never regretted and I&#039;m thankful for everyday.<br /> Seeing both of my friends joyful and satisfied, I&#039;ve made my way to the party.<br /> As I descend, I was thinking of the last straw that ruined my daydreams of having a future loving family. It was when my unborn child died. My angel was just two months old, I believe, when I miscarriaged.<br /> At first, I didn&#039;t know that I was pregnant. Only my mother-in-law and bestfriend knew my real situation. I was naive to believed that I was sick and should take medications which harmed my angel on the process. Two years after, one of the maidservants told me of my real condition but was too late.<br /> She secretly brought the supposed-to-be-thrown ultrasound result from the hands of Victoria and proved that I was with an unborn child.<br /> Later that day, I cursed myself from being innocent from those things and let myself be a victim of those two vile women.<br /> From that day on, I wailed at unimaginable agony and saw the world in black and white.<br /> Deedee, the maid that confessed to me, served me faithfully from that day onwards. She&#039;s been my eyes and ears inside the mansion with no reward of bonus in return because she felt guilty at what happened to me.<br /> I&#039;ve waited so long for this moment. The moment when I can be free of this narcissistic household. My patient tank has been empty for several months. I cannot take a little bit of mockery from them anymore. I&#039;ve been a good wife and a person.<br /> I can no longer be.<br /> Wearing my Ziv tailored black evening gown adorned with my own limited edition of jewelry and a three-inch stiletto, I&#039;ve graced the grand stairs of the Yushkova mansion looking for my husband.<br /> &quot;Now, where is that cheater?&quot;<br /> NATALIA&#039;S POV<br /> Scanning the room, I quickly saw my spouse with none other than my bestfriend Ariel. From afar, you can observe that they are such a great pair. of Leeches.<br /> Devon, as always, looks dashing in his three piece black armani suit. He&#039;s such a good looking man in my eyes even up to now. No one can compare to him. His firm body and cold aura added to his oozing appeal.<br /> Clinging on his left arm is Ariel who wore a white evening gown in contrast to her dark alter ego. Victoria is on his right side and smiling like a goof to please everyone her husband and son is talking to. On my mother-in-law&#039;s right side is Euro who was talking with other business tycoons. A happy family indeed.<br /> I looked pass them and finally saw the apples of my eyes. The Zimmer family.<br /> Making my way to them, my father already saw me.<br /> &quot;Little monster, I&#039;ve missed you.&quot; Daniel, my dear father, uttered while hugging me tightly. I&#039;ve missed him so much. My mother was no more of this world but I&#039;ve never felt incomplete having him as a parent.<br /> &quot;Piglet!&quot; A brunette adonis-like man joined the family hug. He&#039;s my big brother, Jake, a bachelor but not a womanizer. He&#039;s a one-woman man just like my father.<br /> &quot;You&#039;re skinny. Are you eating?&quot; Jake voiced out scanning me from head to toe.<br /> &quot;And you&#039;re nearing thirties, when can I have a niece or nephew? Don&#039;t worry I&#039;m on a diet.&quot; I said in one breath and winked. My brother zipped his mouth with my first argument.<br /> &quot;Where&#039;s Devon?&quot; My father asked changing the topic. I just shrugged and got a drink from one of the walking servers.<br /> &quot;That scum!&quot; Jake hissed looking beyond me. I don&#039;t need to see who was at the receiving end of his cold stares. The leechers.<br /> I just smiled full of warmth. By the boost of the spirit drink that traveled through my throat, I felt a little bit courageous for the good show later.<br /> &quot;I don&#039;t mind.&quot; I flatly said to them. My father looked at me knowingly and seemed to understand what I was communicating. You&#039;re absolutely right father. I already came to my senses.<br /> Devon and I had an arranged marriage. My father planned it because of my big infatuation with my husband. The Yushkova unfortunately agreed to the arrangement since my family&#039;s company is such a big catch.<br /> We have a technology and systems company. Currently, we are at the top and hoping for the years to come, too.<br /> Sadly, I didn&#039;t know any hacking techniques since I was on the artsy side of the spectrum. I wasn&#039;t able to study the intricacies of systems and hardwares for my emotions clouded my sober mind three years ago.<br /> A clink of glasses can be heard and I made my way to my dear husband.<br /> Standing before him, I felt nothing. I didn&#039;t spare him a look and impartially listened to the barbie who&#039;s giving the toast. How sweet.<br /> I wasn&#039;t paying attention for my mind floats to what I&#039;ve prepared for later. I suddenly felt an arm encircling my fragile waist and was forced to look at the man I onced love.<br /> I was taken aback when his lips crushed into mine. It was warm and loving. I must be hallucinating.<br /> Our peck lasted longer than I have expected. I responded thinking I should act the part of a loving wife for this one last time.<br /> His peck was pleading and have a sense of longing but to no avail, my heart never falter and was cold. He licked my lower lip to ask for an entrance which I didn&#039;t grant. Cheater.<br /> When the peck ended, I tried to strengthen my legs and faced the crowd and bowed my head. I never looked at him during the process.<br /> For the audience, I looked like a demure wife after the magical moment which they accepted without any suspicion.<br /> &#039;Happy anniversary!&#039; All of them greeted at the same time. I gave my best smile and planned to stay away from my husband for the rest of the night.<br /> He tightened his gripped on my waist.<br /> &quot;Stay....Please....&quot; Devon said. I looked at him and saw longing in his eyes. Oh, how much I&#039;ve waited for that kind of look all these years. Too late.<br /> I leaned forward and whispered to his ear, &quot;Ariel is looking.&quot; He loosened his arm that was clinging to my waist. I turned away and headed to the portable bar the party supplier had prepared.<br /> DEVON&#039;S POV<br /> I saw her descending from the stairs. My lovely wife. She&#039;s a sight to behold with the black evening gown that accentuated her body on the right places. I felt warm looking at her and I can feel my lips curving upwards.<br /> She looked at my way and I gasped expecting she will come to me. She then averted her eyes to somewhere else in my dismay.<br /> &quot;Mr. Yushkova, Mr. Wei of Cruise International.&quot; My assistant introduced which made me snapped back and discussed brief business matters with the senior capitalist.<br /> I unconsciously averted my eyes from the man and scanned the hall for my wife.<br /> I was transfixed with her smile, laughs and hugs while conversing with Daniel and Jake. How I wished I was the one receiving those precious reactions.<br /> Bored with the discussions around me, I have decided to approach her and my second family. My mother stopped my tracks.<br /> &quot;Where are you going?&quot; She whispered to me.<br /> &quot;Going to Natalia.&quot; My wife.<br /> &quot;There are more important things at hand here. These capitalists are rare to be seen and hard to interact with. We must make a good and lasting impression.&quot; My mother reminded me that she purposely invited all these money makers at the expense of our anniversary. I sighed. My father gave his nod in agreement, too.<br /> I stared again to my wife from afar. Maybe after this, we will have the time of our own. For sure.<br /> After quite awhile, to my relief, Ariel let go of my arm and proposed a toast for Natalia and I.<br /> Then I saw my wife gracefully walked towards me holding her head high. Her long dark hair was bouncing on every step and her hips mildly swayed as she stride forward. She is and will always be the phoenix in my eyes. No one can compare to her.<br /> I know I have been busy with our company expanding it to what it is today. Now, I have the luxury to spent more time with my wife.<br /> Standing beside me, Natalia never looked my way. I felt something&#039;s wrong. I instinctively put my one arm around her waist.<br /> Look at me. I silently pleaded.<br /> At last, she spared me her eyes but they were void of any expression. Flashes of bitter memories of her being laughed at and bullied crossed my mind.<br /> No. My mind shouted knowing what that look means.<br /> Without waiting for the start of the actual toast, I crushed my lips to hers. In my surprise, Natalia responded with my peck. I missed us.<br /> After that sweet moment, I looked at her, hopeful that she felt the same emotions that I have. A warm one. But it didn&#039;t come. She avoided my gaze once again and bowed her head. My heart became heavy. Throbbing.<br /> As I looked at her side, I tried to imprint her elegant face, her smile and her frame in my mind as if it will be the last time. I tightened my arm around her not wanting to let go. I pleaded with her the second time.<br /> &#039;Stay...Please...&#039; by my side forever. I will make it up to you.<br /> My heart skipped when she tiptoed and leaned towards the left side of my face.<br /> &#039;Ariel is looking&#039;, she whispered. I was stunned by her words. Then she took the liberty to turned around and walked away.<br /> My world crushed before me. Turn around. Come back to me. Please.<br /> But she never did.<br /> THIRD PERSON&#039;S POV<br /> A graceful woman with a black designer off-shoulder evening dress approached the bar. She planted herself on a seat beside a person who was silently observing her the moment she entered the party.<br /> That person noticed how the woman mingled with her family;<br /> saw her sipped at the glass of spirit that the woman in a white dress offered her for the toast;<br /> felt her cold presence from beginning to the end of the peck;<br /> saw her whispered to her husband and turned away to distanced herself.<br /> A smirk crept on the observer&#039;s face while drinking a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.<br /> &#039;Interesting.&#039; The person thought.<br /> The woman separated herself from the hideous world she&#039;s in. A bitter smile adorned her lips as if she now understood the reality of that world.<br /> &quot;Young madam, anything you prefer?&quot; The bartender inquired after recognizing her.<br /> The woman looked ahead and crinkled her brows at the question. Natalia glanced sideways and came to a conclusion.<br /> &quot;Whatever he&#039;s having.&quot; She simply pointed at the person beside her without sparing a glance.<br /> &quot;Taste it first.&quot; A baritone voice came out from the stranger. The man stood beside her and handed down his drink on the counter.<br /> Natalia&#039;s senses rose up at the hot soothing sound that crossed her ears. She shook her head and just stared at the glass contemplating. Her full lips pouted for a quick moment.<br /> She, nonetheless, accepted the offer. She took hold of the transparent chalice, gave it a swirl, sniffed and earned a sip.<br /> The man amusingly observed how the woman arched her chin up and got a full view of her perfect neck.<br /> The lady satisfied her unquenchable thirst as she took sip after sips until she emptied the glass. The woman realized what she had done and smiled helplessly at herself.<br /> Before she can utter an apology and take a glance at the man beside her, the stranger took hold of the new spirit glass that the bartender served the woman and left*.<br /> &quot;Ladies and gentlemen, the cutting of the cake.&quot; The master of ceremonies announced. The married couple made their way at the center of the hall. Some of the audience smiled thoughtfully as if remembering their own experience of the tradition.<br /> Natalia looked around to marked the server that will supposedly tripped and accidentally pushed her forward to land on the five-tier cake. &#039;Ah. There you are.&#039;<br /> She positioned herself on the left side of Devon where her bestfriend was used to be. On her peripheral vision, Natalia saw Ariel not far from her husband&#039;s right side. His family was on the right side too, while hers was on the left part.<br /> Three. Two. One.<br /> The server fall on Natalia&#039;s back but another one also tripped and incidentally pushed Ariel on the spot.<br /> The whole scene happened in a slow motion course on Natalia&#039;s eyes.<br /> She saw how Ariel screamed and how Devon left her side to support her bestfriend while she silently closed her eyes bracing for the impact. Reality stinks.<br /> The room was quiet after the fiasco. Devon saved Ariel from the fall leaving his wife of the same fate and giving the spectators some pondering as to why he instinctively helped the other woman.<br /> Natalia opened her eyes and miraculously felt safe. One sturdy hand rested on her stomach and another one supported her upper left arm.<br /> &quot;Careful.&quot; A low soothing voice echoed in her ears. It sounded familiar she thought.<br /> Natalia looked at the person who produces such reassuring tone. Standing beside her was a six-feet-tall man with a breathtaking visage paired with honey-colored eyes.<br /> His aloof demeanor far exceeded her husband&#039;s. The man emits authority that no one can overpowered. He was simply astonishing and she regarded him as the most outstanding facade she had ever seen.<br /> Natalia was grateful but at the same time scared of what the man can do on any given situation.<br /> &quot;Thank you very much.&quot; She muttered weakly as she tried to compose herself. Her knees became weak as her nose landed the smell of his minty aftershave. And her stomach felt they were full of butterflies. Weird.<br /> She broke away from the man&#039;s support and glanced at the leeches. Devon looked at her with guilty eyes. She hanged down her sight and kept her silence. No one saw how a small smile crept to her face.<br /> In addition, Daniel and Jake&#039;s face were red enough showing that they will not forget and forgive this moment. Their silent deadly glares penetrated the bones of the Yushkova family.<br /> The emcee was put on an awkward situation. They all saw what happened and couldn&#039;t continue with the cake tradition not wanting to offend the Zimmers anymore and their lovely young madam.<br /> The host changed the atmosphere when he invited the crowd to eat the first course meal. The servers then efficiently handed down the plates on each table.<br /> Natalia then reassured her family that she&#039;s actually fine and exited the hall discreetly with a graceful escape. Freedom.<br /> Unaware, the stranger knew of her departure and unconsciously walked the same steps she left behind.<br /> #######<br /> &quot;Mister Gates?&quot; A woman called for the man&#039;s attention.<br /> &quot;Mister Alexander Gates?&quot; The woman repeated when the man didn&#039;t reply. She abruptly blocked his path when she noticed the important man leaving the hall.<br /> &quot;Yes, madam...?&quot; His assistant, Sergei, answered instead. He stepped forward preventing the middle-aged woman to have a physical contact with his boss. One of Alexander&#039;s personal guards stepped in, too.<br /> &quot;It&#039;s Victoria Yushkova. This is my husband Euro.&quot; The man just looked at her lazily.<br /> Victoria was still in awe of his presence. No one dared to approach him at the party earlier because of his indifferent presence. Having that kind of aura makes him more attractive to any woman of any age.<br /> Standing tall with a Stuart Hughes&#039; three-piece black suit, Alexander waited patiently for his assistant to deal with the random people.<br /> &quot;Mr. Gates is a bit tired. Excuse us.&quot; The assistant told them flatly. He&#039;s great at doing his job of filtering important people from those who aren&#039;t.<br /> Right now, his boss was chasing a very important individual.<br /> Reluctantly, the Yushkova couple let go of the matter for they do not want to offend a big personality like the Gates. Alexander is the heir of the biggest hotel and restaurant chain in the world --- the Zion Group of Companies.<br /> Victoria invited him with the connection that her maternal grandmother was acquainted with the Gates. Fortunately, the man attended the celebration. His brief presence is enough to set a big path for their Yushkova empire.<br /> &quot;Sir, this way.&quot; Sergei told his boss. He led Alexander to a secluded roof terrace and leave quickly.<br /> Meanwhile, the woman at the terrace was very engrossed in her thoughts as she looked at the night sky. A lonesome tear escapes her left eye as her sweet faint laugh illuminates her surroundings.<br /> The man observing from the dark corner made sure that the woman is safe and then took his leave.<br /> &quot;Sergei, make Simon and Zeb watch over her. Also...give me all the details of the Yushkovas and the Zimmers.&quot; He ordered.<br /> &quot;On it.&quot; His assistant simply replied.
