Raven
" Holly?" My chest tightened.
" Oh her,Raven." She answered ,giving me a small laugh.
I stuttered as various thoughts ran through my head." Why the hell are you answering my husband's phone?"
" Oh ..he's in the bathroom,I saw your name and thought to pick it up !" her tone was disgustingly casual.
I clenched my fists so tight until my nails dug into my skin.
I heard the sound of the bathroom door opening and Viktor's voice" Babe who's that?"
My stomach twisted violently as silence lingered on the other end of the phone and then Viktor spoke." Uhh...Rave?"
"Babe?" A bitter laugh escaped my throat as pain shot through my heart. He called her babe ,she's at my house again." What's Holly doing there?"
" Oh...Maya caught a cold so she came over to watch over her." He phrased.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I want to believe what he says but I can't." A cold?"
" Yeah,you're not here, you look after her so Holly filled in." He explained."It's not a big deal right ?"
My legs gave out and I collapsed on the couch." There's a reason we have a nanny ,Viktor. You promised me that she only comes on Fridays." My voice broke at the last word because at this rate,I don't know what to feel anymore.
It's not even up to a day yet and she's already back. Even after he promised me.
Viktor sighed heavily." I sent Julie away for a break....look don't get mad about this, Rave..."
Anger was sipping into my veins little by little." "You sent the nanny away and brought your ex? Are you out of your fucking mind, Viktor?"I yelled.
He snapped back at me." What do you expect me to do?....you are not here, Rave. Someone has to look over our daughters."
My emotions overwhelmed me and a sob broke out of my lips."I got into an accident ,Viktor. I'm blind , temporarily."
Silence
More silence .
" You're what ?"
I sniffed,as tears flowed down my cheeks." I can't see .....I need you to come pick me up and take me home."
He scoffed." "You're blind? Then how the hell will you take care of our kids?Thank goodness I trusted my guts and brought Holly over."
I froze at his statement , unable to believe that he just said that to me." Viktor....."
He continued,his voice sounding nonchalant."You are at the hospital ,right? Get yourself treated ,tell me if you need more money for it. It's not going to be easy taking care of a blind person along with the twins so get a drug or something to cure your blindness ."
My hands trembled at his words,I blinked rapidly to prevent the tears from falling." Viktor you...."
The phone was snatched from me the next moment and I heard the beep sound as the line died.
" Have some dignity." Killian snapped.
I sprang to my feet. I can't tell where he was but I knew he was standing close to me." I was speaking to my husband." I shouted.
He chuckled." yeah right....sounds to me like you're bothering me."
I reached forward trying to see if I could get a hold of him. " You have no right to end the call....give me back my phone!"
I stepped forward,trying to use my sense of hearing to detect his exact location but I heard nothing over the loud pounding of my heart.
" The fucker clearly just dumped you....what more humiliation do you want? He's with another woman, isn't he?" His voice came from the right and I turned in the direction it came.
His words hit me like a boulder but I refused to accept the fact." He ....he didn't dump me." My voice broke at the last word.
Killian kept talking. "He wasn't concerned enough to be bothered when you told him you were blind. If he loved you,then he would have come running down immediately. You wouldn't even have to tell him to come pick you up."
My lips quivered as his words hit." He...he loves me." I whispered , like saying it could make it true.
Killian snorted." Yet he's with another woman."
I gasped for breath as my chest tightened violently. I know what I've put into our relationship, I know what I've been through over the years.
" Stop!" I screamed.
But he didn't. " Let's face it.....he should have called back by now if he loved you but he's too occupied with another woman."
I fell to my knees as I stared at the darkness before me. Deep down , Killian is speaking the truth but I want to give Viktor the benefit of the doubt.
I want to believe that all this is a joke because it's too much." No ....He loves me....I know he loves me."
I felt him crouch down to my level." Then take the phone,call him back and ask him to come pick you up a second time."
He placed the phone in my palm as it rang. It kept ringing,the tension eating up my flesh. He didn't pick up and I called again but it kept ringing.
Another sob escaped my lips as I let the tears flow freely. I had given all I had to Viktor.
This can't be happening to me.
He can't betray me like this. I stood by him when he had nothing ,I sacrificed all my inheritance so we could rebuild his company and start a family together.
I left my family for him.
Killian placed his hands on my shoulders ,giving it a gentle squeeze." Are you seriously crying over him? What the fuck? Quit it!"
He forced me to my feet,I had my eyes down. I don't even know what to feel.
" You have an internship to finish and your life to focus on." Killing snarled.
My life ?
My family is my life .
" No...I have to see him." I shook my head. I can't just let it go like that ,I at least deserve to know if he finally chose her over me and what we've built together.
I looked up,a new resolve in my eyes." I want you to take me to him.... please." Holly must have done something to him,maybe brainwashed him.
Besides Maya is sick ,she needs me.
" Fuck no...." He snapped.
I reached forward and finally managed to grab a hold of his sleeve." Please...I can't drive in this state but I have to go. I know Viktor ...he'll come back to his senses the moment he sees me. Holly must have done something to him."
He grabbed my elbow and forced me to sit on the couch." Can you hear yourself right now?....I'm not taking you anywhere. You're going to stay here till you come to your senses."
" But ....."
" I said no!" He hissed and I flinched." If he can be so easily swayed by another woman then he was never committed to you.You're acting too desperate. Stay here and ponder on what that man you call a husband just did to you."
And just like that,I heard his footsteps retreating and the door clicked shut.

"You cannot even keep your own man in the room. You are making a mockery of this family."
When Harper rushed to the hospital, Chase blamed her for Lila's theatrical, fake miscarriage.
He threatened to pull every cent of capital from Harper's investment firm if she dared to walk away.

Eileen Goff was a nobody, scrubbing diner tables to survive while her greedy family bled her dry.
On the eve of her twentieth birthday, the government's mandatory marriage algorithm matched her with a spouse.
It wasn't a plumber or a teacher. It was Harrison Butler, the ruthless, untouchable billionaire king of Butler Industries.
At the registry, Harrison's glamorous intended fiancée threw a half-million-dollar check at her.
"Take the money, get out of here, and never show your face again."
The registry supervisor even offered her a million dollars to sign a cancellation agreement, trying to erase her from the system.
At their first high-society gala, Harrison's stepmother and the fiancée locked Eileen in an empty room, plotting to humiliate her and prove she was just cheap trash.
Eileen was terrified and confused. Men like Harrison Butler didn't just accept federal matches with girls who smelled like fried onions.
But instead of abandoning her, Harrison smashed the door open, publicly banished his own family, and kissed her in front of the entire city's elite.
Why was this billionaire going to such extreme lengths to protect a complete stranger?
Then she overheard his assistant talking about a marriage clause in his grandfather's trust fund.
He didn't love her; he just needed a powerless, state-mandated wife to lock his parasitic family out of his empire.
Realizing she was a highly valuable pawn, Eileen stopped trembling, looked the billionaire in the eye, and spoke.
"I believe we can have more than just a legal relationship. We can have a business arrangement."

She was the doomed villainess.
And she had just executed the most pathetic plot in the book: hiding in the closet to seduce her cold, ruthless legal guardian, Hayward.
It was the exact move that got the original Helena thrown out on the street to die.
"Helena, your time is up. Get out."
Hayward's freezing voice came from the other side of the door.
He didn't just reject her. He threatened to strip her of her trust fund and permanently lock her in a psychiatric ward.
Everyone in the massive estate despised her, treating her like trash.
To force her to break, Hayward exiled her to the company's worst design department, a graveyard for corporate failures.
At the same time, her innocent step-sister, the novel's female lead, was being cornered and harassed by a predatory manager.
Helena was suffocating under the original owner's ruined reputation.
She was surrounded by hostile eyes, everyone just waiting for her to throw a tantrum and completely self-destruct.
Why should she be forced to pay the ultimate price for the original villain's deadly mistakes?
Instead of screaming or begging, Helena wrapped herself in an oversized coat and played the perfect, submissive lunatic to survive.
She completely flipped the script and took the terrified female lead under her wing.
When that manager tried to lay a hand on her new sister, Helena didn't hesitate to crush his foot with her stiletto.
