Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

This morning, Aurora was willing to sit at the same table with Alex. Feeling that there was something that needed to be addressed, she deliberately took the time to speak directly with the man who had been her husband for two years.

“Tomorrow, it’s our first divorce hearing. I want, you don’t need to attend so that the process can proceed quickly without the need for further mediation.”

In his seat, Alex seemed to sigh quietly. Judging from the expression he displayed, there seemed to be a reluctance that soon he would be divorcing Aurora.

“Is it really true that there’s no chance for me to fix all of this?”

Aurora chuckled instead. She looked at Alex’s face while shaking her head. She couldn’t believe the audacity of the man in front of her.

“Oh my God, Alex. Am I hearing correctly? You’re asking about chances? Wasn’t it me who already did that before?”

“I know, Aurora. But it’s just—”

“But, didn’t you fail to make use of that chance properly?” Aurora interrupted immediately. “I’ve struggled hard and even foolishly turned a blind eye. Choosing to forgive and even giving you a chance. Yet, you clearly brought another woman into our bed. Do you think I’m not good enough? Not patient enough? Or just plain stupid?”

Alex hurriedly shook his head. He felt thoroughly guilty hearing Aurora’s heart-wrenching words.

He realized he had made a big mistake. But truly, if there was still a chance to be together, he wanted that.

“No. That’s not what I meant. I just don’t want to end up being separated from you in the end. I love you, Aurora. I’m in love with you.”

Aurora’s laughter grew louder. Whether Alex was truly shameless or actually engulfed in deep regret about parting from her soon. Or perhaps the man was fearful because he realized he would soon lose all the luxurious facilities that had surrounded him for the past two years.

“Oh come on, Alex Wildblood. If you truly love and cherish. Or, truly be grateful once because you had me in your life, I’m sure this affair would never have happened.”

Alex swallowed hard. It was indeed his own fault for playing with fire from the beginning. Shamelessly, he dared to engage in an illicit relationship with his wife’s cousin.

“Enough. There’s no need to feel regretful. This decision is final. I want to separate from you soon. Besides, you’re supposed to marry Nicole soon, right?”

“Yeah, of course.”

From another direction, the figure they were discussing appeared. Without permission, let alone being invited, the woman pulled a chair and seated herself right next to Alex.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Just so you know. I can’t wait for you two to divorce so I can marry Alex and become his legitimate wife.”

Aurora grinned. Somehow, meeting Nicole at this moment felt like a mood booster. Like having a new toy ready to play with anytime.

“Oh don’t worry, my dear cousin. This divorce only needs one court hearing. Last night, Rayyen confirmed that the divorce proceedings between me and Alex could be completed soon. So, no need to wait for months.”

Last night, before going to bed, Rayyen indeed called. He ensured that all the evidence and documents needed for Aurora’s divorce hearing were very thorough.

“I’ll make sure this divorce process can be completed a few days after tomorrow’s hearing.”

“Are you serious?” Aurora was naturally delighted. This was what she had hoped for. To be able to separate soon and then teach a lesson to the people who had made her suffer.

“Yes. Especially since the evidence of the affair is very clear and complete. Just ask Alex not to attend the hearing. Because if he does, mediation will surely be offered.”

“Alright. I’ll make sure he won’t attend tomorrow. Please handle it well, Ray. Tomorrow afternoon, if your business is done, I’ll stop by your office directly to discuss further developments.”

Aurora was grateful to have Rayyen who could help her maximally to complete the divorce process. Now, she just had to wait for the right time to slowly make her calculations.

“That’s great then. It means today I can already go hunting for a dress to wear at the wedding.”

Aurora nodded hearing her cousin’s chatter.

“Feel free. Let alone a dress, hunting for a house to live in after the wedding is also not a problem.”

“A house?” Nicole repeated then smiled. “Why hunt for a house? Alex and I can live in this luxurious house. Besides, you’re filthy rich, Aurora. Why don’t you just leave this house and buy a new one?”

“Me?” Aurora pointed to herself. “Leave my own house?”

Nicole nodded repeatedly. She thought, because there were many assets acquired and accumulated during Alex and Aurora’s marriage, there would surely be a lot to divide upon their divorce. Including the house they currently lived in.

“Yeah. Besides, why don’t you just move out? Or do you want to reminisce about the good times with Alex in this house? Come on, move on. Don’t be like an unwanted woman.”

Nicole grinned. She leaned forward slightly, then looked at Aurora in a certain way.

“By the way, your own bedroom has been used by me and Alex for intimate moments. Aren’t you disgusted sleeping there?”

“NICOLE!”

Alex immediately reprimanded. With a sharp glance, he shook his head in disapproval.

“That’s enough!”

“I’m just reminding. Just in case Aurora forgot.”

Not in the least bit provoked, Aurora remained calm. Rising from her seat, she prepared to leave. But before leaving the house, Aurora didn’t forget to respond to Nicole’s earlier remarks.

“As if I could forget your disgusting actions. And besides, try taking this house if you can.”

Aurora then gave a scrutinizing look. She looked at Nicole from head to toe, while curling her lips and then smiling broadly.

“Moreover, someone like your modeling career wouldn’t be suitable to be the mistress of a luxurious house like this. All you can do is make it dirty.”

Nicole immediately cursed angrily. She couldn’t accept being insulted in such a manner by Aurora.
