That girl is so beautiful like a Barbie doll. Her long and slender legs, beautifully flaunted as she wore an elegant black silk skirt, wrapped around her hips which swayed beautifully as she walked.

Her upper body is even better. Her chest hangs beautifully, making all the men who pass by her must look twice. If it wasn't for her chest, it would be because of the beauty of her face. Her reddish-brown hair was long and thick, the result of the hard work of a famous hairdresser.

Her slender fingers with peach-painted nails clamped the cigarette stick to her lips, aiming at her plump lips with the same peach color. Her lips exhaled smoke elegantly.

The woman sitting alone on the balcony of her house was Clarissa. An independent businesswoman, with several subsidiaries in the highly successful interior design field. Clarissa is a free and independent woman with a very seductive aura.

However, now Clarissa was upset. She looked at Mia, her personal assistant, with a sharp look.

“Are you sure the information you got is correct?”

Mia nodded her head nervously. She had worked with Clarissa for years, but for some reason her intimidating aura always made her nervous. She reminded her of Medusa, a beautiful woman who with her gaze could turn anyone who dared to look back at her to stone.

“That's the info I got from the guy at Mr. Aaron's company. They say Mr Aaron married his assistant Laurel in a rush wedding on the island of Bali and is now spending his honeymoon on his private island.”

Clarissa exhaled her cigarette in annoyance. “A hasty and secret wedding, eh?” her smile is very sinister. “I doubt that Aaron remembers to give me the invitation. I have to admit I was a little hurt to know that he easily forgot about me and married that woman. You got her photo?”

Mia handed the photo she got to Clarissa. Clarissa accepted the photo and placed it on the table.

“All right, you can go, Mia.”

After Mia left, Clarissa took the photo. A photo out of nowhere depicting Aaron walking with the woman Mia said was named Laurel.

Laurel.

How Clarissa hated that name. It was a girl's name that made Clarissa feel sick. She still remembered the painful nights she had made love to Aaron. Aaron took advantage of this by calling her “Laurel”, imagining he was making love to her even though he was making love to Clarissa at the time.

Aaron was innocent, Clarissa had deliberately made it seem like she didn't really want to be in a binding relationship. Because she knew, if she looked like she wanted to tie up Aaron, if there was even the slightest hint of her feelings for him, Aaron would leave her right away.

The man closes his heart and will immediately stay away from anyone who has more feelings for him. That's why Clarissa pretended and let Aaron think that their relationship was a relationship without status, taking advantage of each other, without any ties to each other.

Even though Clarissa loved Aaron, really loved him from the bottom of her heart. However, when Aaron calls her Laurel, sees her as Laurel, makes love to her while imagining Laurel, her feelings are crushed. Destroyed, angry and humiliated. Not to Aaron, he loved the man too much, but to a woman she didn't know named Laurel.

How dare that woman take his Aaron's heart, make Aaron close his heart to all women! Clarissa wanted her name to be called by Aaron with longing, like when he called Laurel's name so softly. Clarissa hated that woman named Laurel. She wanted to kill her if necessary, but she didn't even know Laurel existed and had thought that she was just Aaron's imaginary figure.

Until then the news that Aaron married a woman named Laurel appeared. Clarissa didn't believe it at first, but when Mia explained that it was true, her anger bubbled up, so much so that it almost burned her heart.

Clarissa studied Laurel's face in the photo. That girl is too simple. What did Aaron see in her? She felt herself a thousand times better than a little girl who couldn't dress like Laurel. Is this really the Laurel that Aaron always calls? Or was she just the lucky girl that Aaron married impulsively because she happened to be named Laurel?

Exasperated, she poked her cigarette into Laurel's face in the photo, ruthlessly destroying the image. Whoever she was, Clarissa hated her. And everyone she hates will be crushed!

She had to make Aaron realize his mistake, before it was too late. She had to make Aaron regret that he had the nerve to leave her and choose a woman who was so far below her level.

Her fingers reached for the golden cell phone on her desk. A voice answered there and Clarissa muttered in her husky and sexy voice, “I need to go somewhere. Can you arrange my trip there?”
