“Why are you still here, Merry. Shouldn’t you have gone home?”
I, who had just entered the room this morning, was surprised by a surprising question from Aaron. Did he hate me that much? Was he that bad? Or would he give this room to… Nadya?
“Don’t get cocky, Aaron. Do you think I’m willing to stay here? Do you think you deserve to be regretted and begged not to leave?” I started to speak loudly. Luckily my voice didn’t tremble, luckily my voice didn’t sound hoarse.
No matter how broken my heart was, what was clear for now was that I would prove to Aaron and his mother that I was able to stand on my own two feet and I didn’t want to cry in front of their eyes.
“Sorry, Young Master Abbas, I am still here because I am still your wife and I am currently taking care of our divorce papers. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be afraid that I might slow down your path to living with your shameless mistress. Because I also don’t want to keep a cheap man like you.”
“Good.” Aaron answered without even feeling guilty. He immediately opened the closet, threw all my clothes and he looked at me with his cold gaze. “Now move to the guest room, because tonight Nadya will come and stay here. And I also don’t want you to cause trouble with Nadya. Understand?”
Aaron immediately left, in my heart I kept trying to suppress the emotions that were there, trying to put my heart back together that was in shambles. Just wait, okay… just wait, I will make him regret treating me like trash.
And the night of my mother-in-law’s birthday party arrived. Of course this was something that everyone had been waiting for. All members of the Abbas family, all relatives and business relations of the Abbas family came and no exception. Maybe this would be one of the reasons for Aaron to show off the woman he loved, that was why he was waiting for this moment.
Damn it! I never thought that Aaron would be so shameless. When he was still my husband, when we were still married, he would do this annoying thing to me. Was he satisfied? Did he do this on purpose? How barbaric!
"Young Madam, this is a delivery from Mr. Abbas."
I turned my head and saw the servant coming to my room, I saw that he was shocked by the situation in my room, but I didn't care about that. What I cared about was the delivery that the servant delivered. A delivery from... Imran?
“Can you help me move all my stuff in the guest room?” I asked for an offer.
The maid still looked surprised, until finally she nodded and followed my order.
“Yes, Young Madam.”
We finally rushed to move all my things, then I arranged everything in the guest room. A small room that was very far from the main room, and it made me smile bitterly. It was really funny, and it made me think that it was true that there was not a single person in this world who could be trusted at all.
“Young Madam, I’m sorry… I got an order that all these things must be moved to the Master’s room.”
I started to feel confused.
“Why does it have to be like that?”
“We are just following orders, Young Madam.”
I held my breath perfectly and let the servants do everything. While I was still in the guest room, then opened the package that Imran sent me.
There was a red dress, silver high heels, a bag, and jewelry. Everything looked very beautiful and expensive, also… elegant.
Aaron had never bought me anything like this in his entire life. A simple and polite appearance was what I had to do. At first I thought that if he wanted to take care of me, it turned out that I was not considered important enough to be attractive.
“Wear all of these things. All of them are the most expensive from world-famous designers. I make sure that tonight you will be the center of attention as the most expensive woman at the party. Don’t forget to wear red lipstick, walk with your chest puffed out, lift your chin high. Prove to them that you are a woman who is completely untouchable.”
My hands trembled reading the short message written by Imran. A revenge plan that seemed mature. I wiped my tears roughly, I swear this would be the last tear I will shed for Aaron, and for the failure of my household relationship with the man I used to love so much, and now I will make sure to those who hurt and betrayed me if I am able, and if I can stand much higher than them.
“Make sure that useless woman doesn’t come out of the room when my party is going on, Aaron. I’m really sick of that woman! I don’t want that woman to disturb my birthday party.”
“You don’t have to worry at all, Mom. I assure you that everything will go smoothly, even if that woman goes out, there’s nothing she can do except feel ashamed and devastated.”
I could vaguely hear Aaron and his mother discussing me very clearly, and I could hear that the house was already very noisy.
So, they deliberately kept me from leaving the room? Truly, a plan that would definitely fail.
I could see how my room was locked from the outside, and I didn't even have a chance to get out.
I held my breath perfectly, I tried to stay calm. It would be much better if I prepared myself first so that when Imran came I could immediately go with him.
After I made sure that I was ready, there was a knock on my door. There was an argument from outside until finally my door opened wide after being broken down. I could clearly see Imran standing arrogantly, looking at me with his sharp gaze. For some reason, the feeling that had been anxious from the start was now starting to calm down. Was Imran that important now?
“It’s time for you to come out, Maria. Prove to everyone out there, that you are the future Lady of this family.”
Imran extended his hand to me, and I grabbed it firmly. While he was holding my waist possessively, I started to puff out my chest, and lifted my chin. I walked arrogantly and people had started to look at me. I could clearly see how my mother-in-law, Aaron, Nadya and their child were standing in front of the cake, and they looked so happy.
Relax…wait, after this they will be destroyed instantly.
“Why are you in such a hurry to blow out the candles? I haven’t even given you a present yet.” Imran said and everyone immediately looked at us.
I could clearly see how Aaron stared at me with wide eyes, it seemed like he was surprised that I suddenly came with his uncle.
Imran hugged me even tighter, as if he wanted to give me strength. I smiled confidently, while seeing Imran speak again.
“Before I give you a gift, I want to announce something in front of all family members and our family business relations.”
“Imran, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly with that woman?”
“That woman?” Imran said again. I started to feel quite worried about this. “The woman I am embracing will be my wife, we will get married soon after this.”
I immediately turned to look at Imran, he kissed me. I could see from the corner of my eye how Aaron, his mother and Nadya were shocked to death by Imran’s announcement. I smiled, I returned Imran’s kiss to me. I felt my heart win watching how shocked my rotten husband was!
