“Nancy, I can't endure seeing you with him anymore, you have to find a way to kick out that useless nominal husband of yours. Every time I see you with him, it's like a dagger straight to my heart. I just want to kill him.”Xavier Winthrop froze on hearing the voice. It was Jason Blackwell, his wife's childhood friend. He had just finished preparing dinner when he heard the door open, and wheeled himself to the sitting room to take a look. But before he could open the door, the vicious words drifted to his ears. “Jason, you have to be patient. You waited five years, a few more days is nothing. Hold on, alright?”He opened the door slightly, enough to get a faint glimpse of the duo. His wife Nancy was currently squatting between Jason's legs, caressing his face with a doting expression in her face. “Ethan is currently the largest shareholder of my company, Crescent Waves corporation. If I kick him out without a good back up plan, he might do something crazy to get back at me and ruin

Xavier’s phone rang, distracting him from what he had been doing. It was his son's fourth birthday, and he had gotten everything ready for the celebration with the help of the household staff. He was currently wrapping up gifts for little Ethan. Nancy might have done him wrong, but his son was his no matter what. Even if they divorced, his boy was coming with him. “Boss, the divorce couldn't be processed.”Xavier frowned, sitting up on the wheelchair. “What do you mean?”“Sir, the government records show you've never been married.”His hands shook. He had thought he couldn't feel any more hurt than what he had already experienced so far. How wrong he had been! The fire burning in his chest spread across his body. In an instant, sweat matted every inch of his skin. “But the madam's profile is showing married.”“Why did it reflect on hers but not mine?” Even as he asked, he already knew, dreading the answer. “The groom is Jason Blackwell, not you.” There was a short pause at the ot

Nancy felt her head spinning, the world around her turned blurry. Mocking words and whispers from the guests she had invited to show off permeated the room like poison. “What just happened now?”“What do you think? The people that just arrived to pick him up mentioned that she cheated on him. He must have discovered she cheated, so she wanted to kill him to hush it up.”“It must be with Jason Marlowe. I knew that bastard was up to no good, always hanging around someone else's wife like flies to rotten eggs.”“Damn! Women are vicious.”“She wasn't the one who pushed him. It seemed to be that man beside her.”“This is crazy. I can't believe she would do this after all he had done for her.” The heiress of a fashion line whispered to her friend, shaking her head. “I knew her since college, she was from an impoverished middle class family. But after she married him, he gave her his company and turned her life for the better. Who would have expected she would treat her savior like this?”

Crescent Waves Corporation. “Zenith group hasn't replied till now. What could be wrong? They normally got back to us within twenty-four hours. They can't be changing their minds, right?” Nancy was incredibly worried as she stared intently at the computer screen, waiting for the confirmation email. Jason patted her shoulder. “Don't worry, they will reply. They were the first to reach out, why will they back out now?”Nancy wasn't convinced, for some reason dread filled her heart. She felt hollow, it was as if something huge and unfavorable was going to happen to her. “Zenith is a big group, and there are rumors it's connected to that mysterious Dominion consortium. Crescent Wave is a new company that just rose to fame. What if they decide to work with others?”“I have someone at Zenith, I will pull strings to get you the contact. Don't worry.” Jason pinched her cheek with a soft smile, and she looked up at him. “You're still the best.” He leaned down and took her lips in a consuming

At another part of ErindorTrinity stared down at the unconscious Jason, hatred and disgust consuming her. She grabbed him and teleported to the bay area. The cold wind against his face woke him up. The first thing he saw was the crashing of waves beneath him. “No! Oooh!”“Aiya!” Trinity sneered and let go of him. His screams resounded as he fell into the sea with a mighty splash. “Trash like you dared to hurt my master? I will have to remind you where the trash belongs.”The sea was ice cold, and water was rapidly filling Jason’s mouth. Despite being a good swimmer, his limbs remained immobile.It could be fear, it could also be because whoever grabbed him did something to him. Despair, confusion, fear, all formed a horrifying mix in his mind. Something blinked a few meters away from where he was struggling. His heart jumped. A mighty fish? Shark! Screams tumbled out of his lips. However, the sea water rushing into his mouth muffled the sound. A low trumpeting sound came from t
