They fell in love young. They married young. She devoted her youth and her whole life to him, making him the centre of her world. But what did she get in return? Betrayal, heartbreak, and divorce papers. He had promised her the world; he had sworn to love and cherish her till death did them apart, yet he was the one who fell out of love first. He was the one who threw her aside like trash when he found someone new. His perfect new lover, the one who was promised to him for years,. He was the one who said, “Let’s get divorced. I don’t want you anymore.” After surrounding himself with wealth, fame, and success, he walked away from her without looking back. He forgot all the promises he made to her; he forgot all the pain and heartbreak he gave her. However, she did not. She remembered every single pain, betrayal, and heartbreak he caused her, making her swear to revenge on the day she was thrown away with those divorce papers. Now that God has finally answered her prayers, she's back in his life after five years, but not as his lovesick, devoted wife. She's back as the powerful Morin Heiress who wants to destroy him and have him under her mercy. Rayan Allen had everything in his life—look, money, fame, or success—name it all. He had everything under his feet except one thing. Her. The woman he failed to cherish and regretted letting go five years ago. Now that she’s back in his life with her little silly game of revenge, he's going to do everything in his power to make her his again. Anthea Morin was, is, and will be his forever, and he was going to make sure of that.
View MoreRight after Rayan left her office, Anthea heard a sudden knock on her door. She heaved a sigh while running her fingers through her hair. She felt exhausted to meet anyone right now. “Come in.” She cleared her throat before asking the person to enter. The door opened, revealing Silas, who smiled at her as soon as their eyes met. Anthea instantly relaxed before smiling back at him. “Hey.” He greeted her while closing the door on his back. Anthea was a little surprised to see him dressed in casual clothing instead of his usual business attire. It was a rare sight. “Silas!” She acknowledged him while walking a few steps before welcoming him with a warm hug. It's been a while since they last met in person. Besides, she had a small argument with him a few days ago, which made her kind of ignore him. Anthea instantly felt guilty for treating him so poorly when he had been a great friend and a mentor from day one. “I just met Rayan on my way. What was he doing here?” Silas inquired as th
“Where's the first aid kit? Rayan asked as soon as they stepped inside Anthea’s office. She glanced at him before rolling her eyes. Her lips pressed in a hard line as she tried to process all the things that happened in the last half an hour. “Answer me, Lily.” He narrowed his eyes at her when he didn't get the answer from her. Anthea heaved a sigh at his persistence. “No need. It will be fine in a moment.” She replied nonchalantly while walking towards her desk. She placed her bags and phone on the table before turning around to face him. “It’s bruising. How did this happen, and where were your bodyguards? Why didn't they protect you?” He questioned her at the same time, his eyes fixed on her face. His face turned grim at the sight of her bruised face while he scolded her for being careless. “Ask your sister. Besides, I never thought I would be needing protection in my own company.” Anthea’s response was filled with sarcasm as she leaned back on her desk. Her head was running wil
“Lily?” Anthea heard Rayan’s voice as soon as the call was connected. She had put the call on speaker for everyone to hear while holding it in her hand. “Yeah, it’s me. Where are you right now?” She responded before inquiring about his whereabouts. “I'm going to attend an important meeting in a few minutes. What's the matter?” Rayan answered over the phone. His reply made Anthea pause as she glanced at Aurelia and Sarah, whose smiles widened after hearing Rayan’s response. “Nothing. Can you come over to my office?” Swallowing the sudden hesitancy, Anthea demanded. A small, provocative smile played in the corner of her lips. “Right now?” Rayan sounded a little surprised by her demand. Anthea bit the corner of her lips before responding. “Yeah. Right now. I will see you in 15 minutes." She didn't give him the chance to reply, as she announced before cutting the call. Deep down, she was afraid he would turn her down with an excuse, which would lead to her getting humiliated in f
The next day, Anthea got back to her work. When she walked through the office, she could feel all the eyes on her; they were all stealing curious glances at her while whispering different types of gossip. She pretended not to notice their stares and whispers as she confidently walked towards her cabin with a straight face. Just a while ago, she had to avoid swarms of reporters waiting outside their company building for an interview. She was already aware of all the things she was going to face after Rayan’s sudden move. For a moment, she decided not to respond to anything and lay low. However, after she reached her floor and got out of the elevator, she directly made her way towards her cabin while once again trying her best to avoid people’s curious eyes. “I don't pay anyone to stare or gossip. If anyone has leisure time to waste, they can leave my company.” Anthea barked with a poker face, fed up with their unprofessional behaviours. She wasn't going to pay them to gossip about h
Anthea left Rayan’s penthouse in fury before driving straight to her apartment. After getting off the car, she made her way upstairs before heading straight inside her home. The moment she pushed the door and stepped inside, all the heads waiting in the living room turned towards her. “Oh my God! What happened to you? Why do you look so pissed?” Emilia was the first one to speak, as she questioned her with a concerned expression. “What happened, Thea? Roman also asked his sister as he got up from the couch. They were all gathered together in her living room, patiently waiting for her to come back. Anthea didn't tell Roman where she went, but he already found out her whereabouts, and the pissed look on her face drew his attention. “He never submitted the divorce papers. He says I'm still his fucking wife. How could I be so stupid?” Anthea informed in a high-pitched tone, her voice lacing with frustration and anger. The room fell into a moment of silence as all of them tried to proce
After returning from the garden, Anthea cooked another meal for Nevaeh while the little girl kept sitting on the kitchen island with Rayan standing beside her. Nevaeh kept asking Anthea all kinds of questions, to which Anthea patiently replied. Rayan helped her here and there with the cooking, which she didn't refuse in front of Nevaeh. If she was being honest, she seemed to have softened around him a lot since the previous night after he proved he wasn't involved in her father’s case. After cooking and feeding Nevaeh dinner, Rayan fed her the medicine, which made her fall asleep quickly. Anthea left Nevaeh’s room to find her phone, which she hadn't seen for more than a few hours because she was occupied with Nevaeh. She made her way back into the kitchen, where she previously thought she had left her phone. However, after searching for a while, she still couldn't find her phone, which made her groan in frustration. “Where did I put it?” She asked herself while trying to remember w
Anthea made Anthea comfortable on the bed before taking the food tray for Rosie with thanks. She carefully placed the food tray between her and Nevaeh before feeding her the first bite. The little girl obediently sat on the bed while her eyes remained glued to Anthea with the same excitement as before. Rayan, on the other hand, was also sitting in the other corner of the bed, watching the scene unfold in front of his eyes with a smile. For some goddamn reason, he was smiling a lot today, which obviously irked Anthea. She tried her best to ignore his stares, focusing all of her attention on Nevaeh. “Do you like it?“ Anthea asked nervously as she fed Nevaeh the first spoonful of porridge. Nevaeh instantly nodded her head with a smile, making Anthea feel relief. She wasn't a bad cook, but for some reason, she felt nervous about Neaveh not liking her hand-cooked food. “It’s yummy. Better than Aunt Amalia. I like it.“ Nevaeh answered in an adorable voice while playing with her pushie. An
Anthea finished making the chicken porridge, along with some boiled vegetables. She then turned to look at Rayan, who was preparing some warm water with honey. Anthea’s heart flipped as he caught her staring at him. “Are you done?” He asked with a smile, making Anthea nod her head. She began to clean the kitchen counter while avoiding his eyes all of a sudden. “Yeah, almost finished. I will go and check if she woke up or not.” Anthea replied after wiping the counter.“You stay here; I will go and check.” Rayan proposed instead, stopping her from moving. Anthea didn't seem to mind it, and she nodded her head. Just as Rayan took a step, they both heard Nevaeh’s crying voice coming from upstairs. Both of them immediately looked in the opposite direction before looking at each other. “She seems to have already awoken. I will go and check on her. Meanwhile, you can bring the food. She must be hungry by now.” Rayan suggested seeing the anxious expression on Anthea’s face. Anthea heaved a
The moment Anthea stepped inside Nevaeh’s room, her heart dropped to her stomach at the sight of her. The poor baby was sleeping on the small single bed, her face pale and red due to the fever. Anthea walked towards her with small steps while clenching her fists tightly on both sides. Rosie, who was initially sitting beside the sleeping Nevaeh, looked up at her with an with an invisible shock on her face. Anthea spared her a small smile in acknowledgement before directly making her way over the bed and then sitting down on the left side of the bed. Neaveh’s small body was half covered in a blue floral-printed duvet. “Has she eaten anything in the morning?” Anthea asked in a small voice as she placed her hand on Nevaeh’s forehead. Thankfully, she wasn't burning up with fever. Her temperature had cooled down slightly, but there were still traces of fever. "Yeah, but not much. Rayan was able to feed her a few spoons of soup I had prepared in the morning.” Rosie answered with a sigh, gl
