2024-09-30 15:35:51Andrew froze, Lily's words sinking into his head.
“ You were in possession of that bracelet” “How come you were not the girl who saved me!? “Answer me this minute !” Andrew yelled, his eyes flashing with rage, his deathly glare pinned on Lily. “Bracelet? Oh that?” Lily snorted disdainfully. She got up from the bed, and stood in front of the white vanity, tying her hair into a bun, she turned to face Andrew. "You know, when I first saw the mark on that bracelet, I thought it was a sign. A sign that you were special, that you were worth something. But I was wrong. So very wrong.” “ You are utter trash!” she yelled, glaring down at Andrew in disgust. Andrew clenched his jaw, his eyes filled with fury “I won't ask again, how did you get that bracelet! ” he asked, his tone cold and deadly. Lily let out a chuckle “Why don't you go ask that naive broke ass friend of mine, she will explain better to you” “ Friend?” Andrew thought, his mind swirling with confusion “ Oh,but I'm sorry,you can't ask her because you don't know where she is,” Lily smirked , enjoying the confusion and anger laced in Andrew's face. Lily stood up from the chair, and walked over to where Mike sat on the bed and bent to sit on his laps. “You know, I find it traumatizing that I had to go through the stress of pretending to be the one who saved a disowned and abandoned trash like you” “You couldn't even help my family get a single contract ! You are so useless! ” “Really babe, not even one?” Mike asked mockingly “Yes babe,not even one. So pathetic!” She spat, glaring at Andrew. Andrew ignored her , his mind focused on one question. If it wasn't Lily who saved him on that day. Then, who was the woman that saved him 7 years ago? His eyes flashed with intensity as he pinned his cold gaze to Lily. “I need an explanation now!” “ I am Lily Harlow, anything I want, I get!” Lily snapped her disdainful gaze to Andrew and boasted, a smug smile crossing her face. “Hey you idiot , get out of my fiance's house right now ” Mike warned, glaring at Denzel in contempt. “One more word from you! and I will make sure you regret your existence” “Shut… Bang! In a swift speed, Mike was hanging in air with one of Andrew's neck tightly wrapped around his neck. “I warned you” Andrew said coldly, tightening his grip around Mike's neck Mike's face flushed red as he kicked his legs, his eyes dilating with fear. “Let him down you bastard!” Lily yelled, her face red with fury. Andrew ignored her, still holding Mike up with one hand. Mike's face turned a deep shade of purple, the veins on his forehead protruding, it felt as if he was sitting face to face with death. “Pl.. pl…ple.. please”he choked out, his eyes bulging with dread. “Let him down you fool, how dare an incompetent thing like you, lay your gutter hands on my fiance?” “A man that can change your miserable life?! ” Andrew scoffed, but still held Mike in his grasp,when he was satisfied enough, he flung him to the corner, the latter yelped out in pain. “I regret listening to my mum, because why would I have gotten entangled with a trash like you in the first place?” “I give you two days! Two days to sign those papers, now get lost! ” Lily snapped , rolling her eyes in disgust. Andrew shook his head. That moment he decided it was time to end the nonsense that had been going on. When Lily saw Andrew still standing at the same position, she thought he wanted to start pleading for a second chance. “Even if you beg me I won't accept, I'm done acting as Benita” The name rang in Andrew's ear “Benita” Was that the name of the girl who saved me? Andrew thought, making up his mind. “ I will sign the divorce papers now! ”

Chapter 233: Husband Of The Year
That word—“husband”—annoyed Anastacia to the brim. But she still maintained a calm demeanor and tried to keep her cool. She wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing her break down, not now, not ever. She took a controlled breath, fingers curling beneath the table as her painted nails pressed lightly into her palm. She could already feel the judgment thickening in the air like perfume—too sweet, too suffocating. This was the part about this sham marriage that she had dreaded the most—when her friends and the influential people she knew would eventually find out about Andrew. She had rehearsed a dozen versions of this day in her mind, prayed it would stay in the realm of speculation until the quiet, discreet divorce. But now, here it was, thrown on the table like some scandalous appetizer. Eyes were watching. Ears were tuned in. Her armor had to stay intact, flawless, as always. They wouldn’t see her sweat.She had been friends with this group since high school, but deep down she
Chapter 232 : Recognized
“C’mon, it’s not possible that you would know someone like that,” Paul said, his voice edged with disdain as he leaned closer to Dorothy. He lifted his wine glass lazily, swirling the golden liquid inside without taking a sip. His gaze flicked briefly toward the direction Andrew had gone. They had all watched the brief incident that had unfolded between Mirian and Andrew. None of them had commented at first, but their eyes had said enough— even if Andrew wasn't a waiter as Mirain had mistaken him for , he didn't seem far from that .But there was a question lingering through their mind "How did he get a vip pass ? “Who knows, he might have gotten a free invite or something,” Paul said out loud as he smiled without warmth, clearly amused by the idea that someone dressed like that could be allowed in a place like this.“Paul is right. Where do you think you could possibly know someone like that?” Mirian asked dismissively , her voice laced with disdain .Dorothy looked over to Andr
Chapter 231 : One Of Them
“Get me an extra wine glass,” the voice, which belonged to Mirian—one of Anastacia’s friends—ordered again, this time harsher than the first.Andrew didn’t say a word to the lady to clarify that he wasn't a waiter. He didn’t need to. Even a blind man could see that he wasn't wearing the same uniform as the waiters. His outfit—a dark, unbranded polo shirt tucked into plain, well-fitted jeans—stood out against the polished uniform of the restaurant’s waiters. But the woman wasn’t blind. She was being deliberately condescending.Her tone had the sharpness of someone used to belittling strangers. It wasn’t the first time someone mistook him for less than he was, but Andrew didn’t react. He’d learned that silence sometimes hits harder than protest. He stared at her for half a second then turned his face away, impassive. He wasn’t here for drama. Anastacia shifted uncomfortably in her chair as she tried to hide the fury brimming inside her.She was pissed, but not because her friend was
Chapter 230: Coincidence
The next day, Andrew went about his day, and was heading home that evening. He hadn’t eaten all day, and his stomach grumbled with irritation, but he barely noticed. His mind wandered until something suddenly clicked. He remembered that one of the men had given him a voucher.Andrew dug into his wallet and pulled out the voucher. The paper felt crisp and cold in his hand. It was a one million dollar voucher to one of the top restaurants in Jashem City. A ridiculous amount, too extravagant to ignore. He blinked at it, then tucked it back into his wallet with a low sigh. He decided to go eat first with the free voucher before heading home.Half an hour later, Andrew arrived at the Mountain Palace Restaurant—a 100-storey skyscraper that lit up the city skyline.Wind pressed gently against his coat as he looked up at the towering building, its glass panels reflecting the early night. It wasn’t just a restaurant. It was a landmark. It was one of the top seven-star restaurants in the cit
Chapter 229: Impending Disaster
Mr. Devon sat in his leather chair, hands steepled, his eyes fixed on the TV screen like his life was dependent on it .The room was dim except for the light from the screen, flickering across his hard-set face. The room was wrapped in silence until the door creaked. One of his men leaned in, said something in a hush. Mr. Devon didn’t shift, his voice came low and deliberate—“Let him in.” Immediately Jackson stormed in like a man on fire, his jaw set, eyes cutting across the room before settling on Devon. He didn’t sit. Didn’t greet. Just folded his arms and fired off, “Where are we with the plan?” The edge in his voice was sharp but Devon didn’t blink.He paused for a moment , a smirk curled around his lips ,then he pointed his finger at the TV. “Our plan is set,” Mr.Devon said, his eyes still glued to the TV. “That news is our plan.” Jackson narrowed his eyes, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. The screen showed a smiling woman holding a child, her name flashing in
Chapter 228: Unwanted Husband
Andrew decided he might as well eat first. The voucher was free. It wouldn’t make sense to waste it. And maybe after that—after some warm food in his stomach—he’d go home and forget how strange the day had been.Half an hour later, he found himself standing in front of the hundred floors building. One of the top hotels in Jashem. Even the entrance smelled expensive. A waiter in white gloves had come out before he even asked for help. “This way, sir,” the man had said. And Andrew had followed.He didn’t ask questions. He didn’t want to draw attention. Just a quiet meal. A quiet hour before he returned to whatever his life was.The waiter led him past the glass staircase, past the champagne-colored chandeliers, past people who didn’t look at him, because to them, he wasn’t even there. And just as Andrew reached the section with his table, his eyes moved to the far side of the room.And there she was. Anastacia.He froze. Not because he wasn’t used to surprises. But because nothing abo
