Damon gave me a sharp look after hearing the question I had just asked him. With his wicked, loud mouth, he replied to my words casually. "What's wrong with that? This is my house."I felt something stirring inside my chest. Anger, annoyance, hatred, and disgust all rolled into one. How could I not be angry with him for casually bringing his mistress into our home? This is indeed Damon's house, which is also my house, so I have the right to decide who can come to my house.The house we live in is a very beautiful European-style house. I had always envisioned having this kind of dream house because of its unique and classic architecture. Then, after we got married, Damon gifted me a house. He gifted me this dream house as proof of his love for me. At that time, I truly felt like the luckiest woman alive. I also never forgot Damon's beautiful words when he gave me this house."Honey, we will live happily here forever with our children."Oh, how sweet his words were at that time. He made
Damon’s POVAfter the house, Cora and I enjoyed dinner at a fancy restaurant in the city center. Cora liked this fancy restaurant because the food menu was very delicious, she said. So, as an understanding man, I obeyed everything the woman I loved wanted. Moreover, we had an unpleasant incident when we met Addison at home.My intention to bring Cora to the house still occupied by Addison was at Cora's request. She said she wanted to know where Addison had lived all this time. I didn't want to take Cora there, but she always insisted, so I couldn't help but obey her. Like yesterday, when she asked me where my favorite place with Addison used to be when dating, Cora was also curious and forced me to take her there. And, whether by coincidence or what, I met Addison there instead.In this restaurant, there was a special stage where there was a piano, and once in a while, there would be a pianist playing melodious and very relaxing music.The waiter delivered our dinner orders. Cora and I
Damon’s POVI was still busy with my work at the office that morning. And, until this moment, I still didn't know the news of Addison's whereabouts. Not even the tracking of the credit card I gave her. I'm sure that Addison doesn't use the credit card or ATM card I gave her. If she doesn't use the credit card I gave her, where does she live? For the past two years, I've been limiting the amount of money I send her because I don't want to spoil her anymore.I let out a long breath, leaning my back against the chair. I looked up at the ceiling and wondered where Addison had gone. Stupid me, never finding out who Addison's friends were. I was too busy with my work and didn't have time to figure it out. I didn't think that Addison would do this."Good morning, Mr. Saunders."I straightened up as Jared walked into my office in a hurry. Let's hope he has good news about Addison this time. "Tell me.""Mrs. Addison didn't meet with Mr. Clarke at all because Mr. Clarke has been out of town sinc
Addison’s POVI've been staying at Shofia's apartment for the past two days. Yes, I left Damon without a word. I didn't care. After all, he wouldn't look for me either because he already thought that I was worthless to him.I also deliberately didn't use Damon's credit card so he wouldn't know where I was, so for the time being, I borrowed Shofia's money and will pay her back soon. When I left the house that day, I used a little disguise to avoid being seen. I knew very well that Damon had his spies watching me wherever I was.At first, I went to a village about two kilometers from the city. Once in the village, I changed my clothes, wore an unrecognizable appearance, took a bus from there, and headed here. I knew that if I didn't do that, Damon's men would quickly discover my whereabouts because they had CCTV everywhere. Meanwhile, the village I visited was still very limited, so they would never think to look for me to the village.Luckily, Shofia lives in a crowded apartment, so to
Addison’s POVI'm currently at a small cafe not far from Shofia's apartment. I deliberately waited here, a small cafe located on a street corner, and I was sure that Damon's men wouldn't be able to get there. Besides, Damon wouldn't be looking for me since he was busy with his wedding to Cora.Oh, yes. Why am I here? It's because Hayden asked me to meet. Just now, when I was surprised to receive his phone call, he said that he wanted to meet me. I couldn't possibly refuse him since he'd been so kind to me. So, I said yes to his request to meet here. I waited as I savoured my iced chocolate. My eyes scanned the cafe, which was not too large. This afternoon, the atmosphere of the cafe seemed very quiet, with only three people visiting there, including me. And it wasn't long before the person I was waiting for finally showed up. Hayden is wearing a neat suit and smiles warmly when our gazes meet.By now, Hayden had taken a seat right in front of me. "Hi, Addison," he greeted me. I ret
Addison's POVI didn't feel up to meeting Cora or Damon here. I didn't expect that we would accidentally meet here. Just hearing Cora's voice disturbed my peace. I'm still rooted to the spot where I'm standing like there's a nail stuck in my foot, and it's hard to move. I'm unlucky to be here.Damon is standing right behind Cora, and Damon's eyes are looking at me very sharply, while Cora next to him looks very happy. It was as if she was very happy to see me and hoped that Damon would bully me again. I knew that Cora was very happy to see me when Damon started berating me in front of her."Mr. Saunders? Are you here too? Are you accompanying your girlfriend shopping?"It was Hayden's voice that greeted Damon. I didn't know that Hayden could recognize Damon. Since when did he know him? Ah, I forgot that Hayden is a businessman so he would know Damon, a businessman, too.Hayden was already standing right next to me with a warm smile that he directed at Damon and Cora."Yes, I'm with my
Addison’s POVWe were now in another room of the boutique, and I hoped we wouldn't run into that sickening couple again. I hope they leave here and don't come back.I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to neutralize the emotions that were still churning in my chest. Coupled with the headache that had suddenly attacked me. Maybe it was the effect of earlier when Cora insulted me and made my emotions rise."Addison, are you okay?"Opening my eyes, I could see that Hayden was looking at me with a worried look. Then I nodded slowly. It was so hard to get a sentence out. My body suddenly went limp. I also felt my legs looking limp, as if they couldn't support the weight of my body."Your face is so pale, Addy. Are you sure you're okay?" Hayden asked again, and this time, he was really very worried about my condition.I forced a faint smile at him. "It seems that I need to sit down first." For some reason, my voice sounded very hoarse.Hayden looked surprised, so he took my hand again and
Damon’s POV I was already outside the boutique with Cora, whom I slightly forced to leave to get away from Addison. I couldn't accept what Addison had done to me. I was fed up with that woman and how she ignored her husband. It's only natural for her to ask for a divorce because she's got a man who can afford her entire life. That's the attitude of a bitch. She's so clueless and shameless that she wants a divorce just because she's found a man who will support her. I didn't expect Addison to have that kind of attitude at all. I remember once when Addison and I were still unmarried. We walked together on the sidewalk and went to a city park. We walked hand in hand on a warm afternoon, where Addison always smiled and told me she loved me. I will never forget the words of love she always told me. "Oh, Damon... you know how much I love you with all my soul. If you're not by my side, I don't know what I'll become." Damn it! The words that she used to say now sounded like nonsense. The
