“I want a divorce!” Olivia said after a long time. Her words echoed in Cedric's brain.
He never thought one day she would divorce him, her sentence sounded like missiles in his ears.

“Divorce? You are so scheming! After all, I have done for your family!” He gritted his teeth and his hands clenched the bars of the prison.
Olivia looked at him with total ridicule. She felt like adding more salts to his wounds but decided not to.

“I am not that scheming! If there was an award for the most shameless man on earth, then I bet you will win!”
She smirked and also handed him a file and pictures alongside it. He collected the picture, his eyes magnified when he saw the pictures of the girls he hangs out on.
Cedric shook his head and murmured in his mind. He thought she was just a weak person who was thrown out and disowned by her parents, seeing the evidence in his hands, he underrated her abilities.

“So you knew all this while?” His voice broke into a sweat and watched Olivia. He could not deny that he had been fooled all this while by her weakness and paid less to her strengths.

“I am not as foolish as you are. I have always waited this long and calculated how this day will come. The reason why I didn't sue you or chase you for my physical damages is that I still respect your mother. ”
Olivia said with a little scorn. Though she hated him to the core and wanted by all chance to destroy him, she did not want to tarnish the image of his family.
As far as she knew, they were a little supportive of her son yet she knew they disliked her.

“ Olivia! I hope you know who you are messing with! You can not keep me locked up here forever!” Cedric yelled as he saw the retreating shadow of Olivia.
Never in his life would he think he would be put in jail by a weakling. The door slammed shut after she had passed out and reopened again with two men walking in.
Cedric raised his head and watched as the two men along with a young man strode into the room.

“Mr. Noville , I hope you enjoy your cell well. ” The Armis's family lawyer spoke as the light was switched on.
Cedric's eyes twitched at the man who ridiculed him. He cleared his voice and adjusted his clothes.
Seeing the way he dressed, it is possible he came to bail him out or plead for him. He smiled and said to himself.

“So my cheating on Olivia we're beneficial!” He grinned with his teeth and chuckled.
The man in the suit carefully observed the man's unruly behavior and felt irritated.

“You must be the person sent by my wife to bail me out, right? Here is the thing, when I am out, I need you to teach someone some manners. ”

“You must be the person sent by my wife to bail me out, right? Here is the thing, when I am out, I need you to teach someone some manners. ”
Cedric said with his shoulders held high. The man's lips twitched at his words.
‘ He was still planning his revenge on the boss's Lady? What a menace!’

“Mr. Noville, I think you are mistaken. I am from the legal team of the Armis family .” He handed over his ID card to Cedric.

“I hereby sue you for all damages incurred on Olivia during your marriage. ”
His volume stressed on the smoking part and looked him in the eye. Cedric shivered at the intense stare from the attorney.
What kind of strong backing did Olivia have? Who is behind her?
He wondered. Olivia never had such strong backing before, could it be he offended a bourgeois?
He slapped the thought as he has been careful to gain favors from them and not added them as enemies.

“And if I may ask? Where do you come from?” He needed to know the exact Armis that had the guts to sue him.
He had done many businesses with the Armis's over the years, thus, the lawsuit could not come from them. They were so close to the extent that he did not believe they would break apart their relationship just for a piece of used shoes.

“You alone are not worthy to set your filthy eyes on him. Get ready Mr. Noville. The billing has been done.” The man said as he turned his back to leave the room and stopped.

“It is better you stop playing with fire!”
With that, he left the prison cell. Cedric banged the gate and later gave up when it refused to budge.
.................
Meanwhile, At Arya’s Apartment.
“Get the fuck out of here!” She yelled furiously, grabbed the coffee table, and flipped it over.
Her face was all red and steamy. Her eyes bulged out and screamed danger. She held the envelope tightly.

“Tell me what is wrong! You have been throwing tantrums. ” The manager pleaded as she forcefully took the envelope.
Arya was perfectly fine and normal before she received the envelope. Peyton carefully unwrapped the envelope and read the letter.
Her mouth fell out of words and gazed at Arya. Now she understands why she is this furious. She was disqualified from the competition.

“There must be a mistake!” Peyton shook her head and tore the letter into two.
She could not believe that all her resources wasted onArya's beauty competition went in vain.

“That is my line!” She was frustrated by throwing the coffee mug at her. Losing was one thing but losing to a rookie in modeling says it all.
The winner of the competition was announced earlier today to participants but not yet broadcasted on the news.
Her fist balled tightly together. Her teeth gritted harshly as the image of Meiyin's face appeared.

“But........the man......Are you sure you slept with the right man?” Peyton questioned again.
She knew that withArya between the man's legs, her success was assured and also Peyton's effort.

“Him?!” She said in mockery. She felt so disgusted with herself for falling into such an awful trap.
He tricked her and she also lost too. Such a deal was none profitable to her.

“Let me call him and confirm it ” Peyton, who still is unable to accept the fact, reached for her phone to dial him when she was stopped by Arya.

“Do not waste your time. He is not answering ” Her horse and blunt voice spoke out. She was tired and honestly did not want to remember such an annoying deal.
Peyton clenched her phone and glared at the Caller ID. His phone number was dialed several times, yet could not go through. Her whole body fell out of breath as she supported herself on the wall.
Arya marveled at her weird reaction. Wasn't she meant to be the one to react like that? Why was it the opposite?
Arya's phone rang and she swiped It.

“Hello?”

“Who is this?”
She answered vexedly with the unknown caller. A sigh was heard as the voice echoed.

“Meet me at lunch, if you want a good piece of news.” The unknown caller cut the call before Arya could respond.
The two women in the room were dumbfounded at the call.

“Who is that?” Peyton asked curiously as she saw Arya heading out of the apartment.

“Someone with the same motive as me ” She grinned and left the apartment.
Wearing thick blue German sunglasses, she drove to the address sent to her. She was curious to know who this unknown character is and why she had news for her.
Her feet stepped on the break and parked at the destination. The cafe was big but had few customers.
She gave the keys to the security and strode into the cafe. Her long legs take one step at a time. She got to the seat number given.
She sat down gracefully and faced the woman.

“What do you need?” Arya said arrogantly.
The woman sat down there and an unimaginable aura evolved around the seat.
Her fingers crossed over the mug of latte carefully blowing off the steam from it.
Her lashes are straight and upright. On her fingers, the JL's newest ring. From her appearance, she was stunning.
The woman slowly removed the sunglasses and smirked. Her smooth, silky face amazed Arya. Her mouth widened as she gazed at her.
She dropped the glasses on the table and picked up the latte.

“Miss Arya, how long would you stare at me?” The voice gave a shock to her. The woman seated next to her is no other person but the mighty, EMILY HUDSTON!
