As soon as Emerald is gone, Lauren breaks down into tears. Not only has her cousin insulted her, she didn't apologize for wickedly making her work for nothing for the past seven days. How can family members be so cruel? She is still wiping her tears when Paris enters the room. She better head back home. It's not good that she looks such a mess now. As she steps out of the room, she bumps into Paris again, and this makes her laugh. "Hi, it's you again. We have to stop bumping into each other." Paris has a different look in her eyes, as if she has run down here because she was told about an emergency. "Miss, I'm sorry, but I need to confirm something from you. I promise that I won't take too much of your time." "Sure. What do you want to know?" Paris points a shaky finger at her. "Are you by any chance Stanley Adkins' fiancee?" Lauren laughs, it seems that everyone is just finding out today. "Wife, actually. My name is now Lauren Adkins." She corrects her, but Paris back sla

"You think I care what your husband thinks?! I've just been told that Lord Snow just got married! That means that you fucked me over! What am I supposed to tell my family and friends? I'm supposed to get married to him in three months!" Meg sighs as she turns away with a scoff.Of course she doesn't know anything about Lord Snow. He is slick by not revealing himself openly, even to his family, and that's very embarrassing to tell a common outsider. "You think I didn't do my best for you?" Meg clicks her tongue. "Lord Snow is a very stubborn boy! He doesn't listen to his dear auntie!" "Well, you better make him fucking listen, or else I am going to burn the whole city to the ground!" Emerald screams like a crazy animal. Meg's phone rings out of nowhere, and she picks it up. It's a customized number, and she immediately knows that whoever is calling her is very important. She holds up her hand, telling Emerald to be quiet. "Hello, Auntie Meg." The voice is not of anyone she kno

Lauren is still snoring in the bed when the door quietly opens, and one of the servant girls tiptoes to come and wake her up. "Mrs Adkins, please I need you to wake up," the lady whispers through her teeth. Lauren lets out a loud yawn as she rolls to the other side of the bed, grumbling because she won't be left alone. She didn't sleep early last night, and Stanley has already gone to work. What's the problem? "Mrs Adkins!" The servant gives her a loud slap on her back. "Ouch!" Lauren jumps up. She is wide awake, but she now is writhing with pain. The servant lets out a whimper of fear and then she takes a few steps back. "I'm sorry, Mrs Adkins! I didn't mean to do it, but you were refusing to wake up, and it's an emergency!" "What's an emergency?" "Mrs Meg Snow is here, ma'am. And she has requested to see you!" The servant announces. Meg Snow?! It's like someone has taken a hard, flat piece of wood, and slapped Lauren across the face. She knows exactly who Mrs Meg is, so s

Mrs Meg goes quiet at the other end. "Roman, do not lie to me right now." Roman slaps himself in the forehead, because he is sure that he has made a very huge mistake, but it's too late to turn back now. It's either he makes this outrageous promise to her, or if she stays there long enough, Stanley will come and throw her into jail for harassing his wife "My darling, have I ever lied to you before?" He pulls at his face. "Lord Snow personally spoke to me, and said that he wants to meet his only aunt." Meg chuckles pleasantly at the other end of the phone. This is the turn she has been waiting for to make a prideful boast to her friends. See, Roman and Meg were punished by God for the maltreatment of Stanley and his mother, by not giving them a child. This hurt Roman so much, but Meg, not too much. She was never going to birth a child because it's too much work. Her beautiful body would be ruined by stretch marks and bloating. She opted to use a high-class surrogate, but after

The big hurdle in front of Mister Roman Snow is to tell Stanley that he promised his wife that Lord Snow will be joining them for dinner. His mind is not at peace, because he knows that his powerful nephew would not be happy about that, but he is wrong. Stanley calmly agrees to go for dinner with them. "Are– are you sure, sir?" Roman stammers. "I mean, going out in public with Meg would reveal your identity to everyone. You know that you made me swear never to reveal it." "Maybe I have chosen to show my real self to Meg and Emerald. Didn't you say that it would make her love and accept me as Lord Snow. And that she will not try to treat me like I'm a poor man?" Stanley snorts. "Sir, you know it's not that easy..." Roman pleads. "I'm going to make things easy for her, I'm not going to hide myself from her one bit, and if she believes, then I will stop my revenge plan against her." Stanley promises. Roman's ears perk with interest, and he lifts his eyes and finally looks his ne
