Rosemary: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Yes, I am that woman. That woman is me. My whole life, luck had never been on my side. My parents favored my twin sister over me. Still, I was grateful to get married to the man I had loved for ten years. I was heavily pregnant and eager to meet our child. But when he suddenly decided to divorce me after impregnating my twin sister, it was as if my whole world came crashing down. I was left with absolutely nothing. Pained and angry, I sought out to make them pay! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gerald: It was never part of the plan to fall in love with another man's wife. But by the time I realized it, it was too late. To get back at her ex, she proposed marriage to me and I agreed on a whim. As if that wasn't enough, she surprised me again by offering to pay me for my troubles. If only she knew that I was one of the youngest billionaires of the century... Cheers to a story of betrayal, revenge, love, and I-never-saw-that-coming!

Sabrina asked at noon after I told her what happened. I nodded, sipping from my glass of juice. "Please keep your voice down. People might hear you." Sabrina glanced around the restaurant. "Fuck that shit! Please tell me you gave her the beating of her life!” “I didn’t. Max was there and I was hurt.” Sabrina rolled her eyes, clutching her fork even tighter. “That bitch has got to pay! You should report to the police." "No," I said, shaking my head, "I want to deal with this my own way. It has been a long time coming, anyway." Sabrina wiped her lips with a piece of serviette. "If you say so." She looked at her watch. "Can we go now?" I set down my glass and picked up my bag. "Yes, please." Sabrina and I walked out of the restaurant and went to the shopping area of the mall. She had offered to take me shopping earlier. As we passed
~Rosemary~"I am going to call security and they will throw you two out, that's what!" I fired, unfazed by her murderous glare.Amani scoffed. "You must be out of your damn mind! Max and I are quite popular around here. If you do anything stupid, this hotel will go under."I scoffed in return. "Let me worry about that, will you?"A look of surprise appeared on her face, but she continued, "We demand an apology!"She turned to Max again. "Right, honey?"Max nodded and looked at me. "As a manager, it's your duty to keep the customers smiling. Apologize to us right now!""I will do no such thing!" I snapped. "Stop wasting my time. Take your things and leave!"Amani stamped her feet. "I won't take this. We have spent so much money only to receive such shitty service, what are you going to do about that!"Sucking my teeth, I opened my bag and took out the bundles of cash I had planned to deposit in the bank tomorrow morning. I took off the bands, spread the notes like a fan, and then flung
~Rosemary~Three years. That's how much time had passed since I got divorced and remarried. A lot happened within that time. I had toiled day and night. However, I still couldn't believe I had achieved so much. I was no longer the broke and broken Rosemary Beckett. Now, I was a boss. After flipping stocks for a long time, I was finally able to buy a prestigious hotel located in the heartbeat of Manhattan. I also bought a bunch of other properties.Standing up from my desk, I adjusted the silver watch on my wrist and slipped into my red bottoms. I closed my laptop and then grabbed my phone and bag.It was just a few minutes past five, but I was leaving the hotel early today. I turned off the lights in the office when I got to the door. As soon as I walked out, a waitress in a black and white uniform came rushing from the left. She bumped into me. "Sorry, boss. I'm so sorry!" She bowed deeply."It's all right. Be careful next..." My words trailed off when I saw tears rolling down her
~Rosemary~The next morning, I woke up to find an unfamiliar ceiling above me. It took me a good minute to realize that I was no longer in Max's house. Even worse, I was no longer pregnant and had no baby bump to examine in the mirror every morning.As much as I wanted to stay in bed all day, I had an early appointment with a business consultant today. It was time to get my life back on track by starting a company with the ten million. So I dragged myself out of bed and walked straight into the bathroom.I scrubbed my body hard in hopes it would wash all my pain away. However, it didn't work. I kept thinking about Max and how I put my life on hold for him only to get cheated on and dumped."Men are overrated. I won't fall for any man again!" I hissed, turning off the shower and stepping out.Just as I reached for the white towel on the washstand, the door of the bathroom swung open. My breathing ceased the second Gerald walked in, yawning and running his fingers through his tousled b
~Rosemary~Time seemed to stop when my chest collided with Gerald's. Our gazes locked. I could see my reflection in his alluring eyes.Suddenly, we pulled away from each other. I ran my finger through my hair and looked away in embarrassment."Sorry," Gerald said softly.I waved my hand. "Don't be. Thanks for catching me."Oh, God! Why is my heart beating fast? And why can't I look at him in the eye anymore? That's normal, right? He's a handsome man. There's no way I am falling for him. I still loved Max."Your ankle twisted. Are you sure you are okay?" Gerald asked, glancing at my ankle.I pulled back my leg and waved. "I'm fine. It just hurts a little."Gerald nodded. After holding the door for me and getting behind the wheel, he asked, "Where to now?""Elmont. The house my father left to me is on the outskirts."Under my direction, Gerald drove us to my father's childhood home. It was a washed-up one-story building that stood surrounded by trees.The first thing I noticed when I wa
~Gerald~Everyone on the couch gasped, looking extremely offended. I also sensed Rosemary's shocked gaze on my back. "Who do you think you are! How dare you barge in here to lecture us? Do you have any idea who we are?" the older woman yelled.The younger woman who looked a lot like Rosemary also sprang up. "Yes, who the fuck are you? And why are you defending her?"Max, whose face I knew all too well, stood up too. He pointed at me. "How dare you come here and insult my love and her mother. And because of this thing?"I smiled, glancing at Rosemary. "Let's just say that I am someone who stands for what's right. More so, I have loved this woman for a long time."It was true.Rosemary Beckett was the woman I dreamed of every day for many years. Like it was yesterday, I could still remember the day she walked into my life.I was just seventeen years old at the time. On that fateful day, I just got off my cleaning job when I was accosted by some hoodlums. They were sent by the loanshark
~Rosemary~Amani looked back at me and snapped her fingers. "Oh! I heard that you lost the baby. Thank goodness, my son wouldn't have to deal with a disgusting half-sibling/cousin!"I felt a jab to the heart. It was bad enough that she wrecked my marriage, now she was going to mock me for the miscarriage? The baby was Max's too. How could he allow her to say such...My thoughts trailed off as I looked at Max. He was smiling at Amani dotingly. It was as if my miscarriage was a joy they both shared. "Amani, I--" I began, but she suddenly put out her left hand and said, "Max proposed yesterday! Look at the ring he got me. It's beautiful, isn't it?"My heart sank to my stomach as soon as I saw the huge clear-cut VVS diamond ring on Amani's finger. To say that I was hurt was an understatement. It was the same type of ring I had asked Max to buy for me, but he got me a plain silver band instead.After flaunting the ring, Amani pressed her hand on her chest as if showing off her big boobie
~Rosemary~"Congratulations! You are now man and wife!"As soon as the official said those words, I felt a twinkle in my heart. How I got divorced and remarried within 48 hours was beyond me!The mood was awkward as Gerald and I walked out of the county clerk's office. I glanced at him. "I guess you're Mr. Beckett now, huh?"Gerald stopped to look at me. Then he smiled. "You heard what the nurse said?"I nodded while forcing a smile. Gerald took my surname. He said that's what he should do because the money I paid him could save one of his best friends in Mexico.I had just resumed walking when my phone rang. Although the number wasn't saved, I answered it, "Hello...""Hello, Rosemary. This is Barrister Steven, your father's lawyer.""Oh, hey! To what do I owe this call?" I asked, remembering the man's face.He paused before saying, "Your attention is urgently needed. Can you come to my office now?""Sure, sure..." I replied, feeling a little disturbed. "I'm on my way.""What's the ma
~Rosemary~"What! We just lost our child and that's all you can say?" Max raised his voice. "What else do you want me to say? How am I even sure the pregnancy was mine? We don’t meet often, after all.""It was yours! I never cheated on you, Max. And you know it!" I yelled, my chest tightening. "Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that Amani is the one I want to be with. Sign the divorce agreement and send it over. I'll send your belongings. Also, don't ever call this number again!"With that, he hung up.Tears blurred my vision as I stared at the phone screen in horror. It was bad enough that he impregnated my twin sister. Now, he accused me of cheating and laughed at my miscarriage.He blamed me for covering up his own mistakes, I knew. But who made him such a coward?It was all because of one person, Amani. My twin sister, why couldn’t she just allow me to be happy for once?As kids, Amani was favored by everyone, even by our parents. Since she was hotter, more beautiful, and eve
