Chapter 2
As she drove away, she thought of how her life was going to be from now on. Suddenly, the beautiful ring on her finger caught her eye. She smiled, touching the ring gently.
Amidst all these troubles and torture, there was only one person who silently stood by her. He was her best friend elevated to the status of a boyfriend, and now he is finally her fiance.
He is her everything. The one who doesn't mind how chubby she looks or the numerous beauties around him. He is the Aiden Kings. He also comes from a wealthy family, just like her.
The only difference is that he is the only child and he is totally adored by his parents, unlike her. She was very surprised when he tried being friends with her years ago.
Most guys actually prefer being with Sheila. Sometimes, when her mind drifts to the past, she always wonders why he didn't go be friends with Sheila. Why did he choose her over Sheila?
Sharon brought out her phone and checked again. Surprisingly, there are still no text messages or phone calls from Aiden. "Maybe he is really busy today," she said to herself.
She understands that his being the only heir to his parents' companies means he will be extremely busy sometimes. "I'll just go over to his apartment and wait for him," she murmured, humming a soft song to herself.
"Hmm... Ah! Yes, that's the spot! You have to go faster! Oh God! I'm cumming!" These were the lewd sounds Sharon heard when she stepped into Aiden's penthouse.
She was really surprised to see the door unlocked when she came because Aiden is supposed to be at work now and no one else lives with him.
Walking into the sitting room only to find clothing scattered around the room, she panicked and silently prayed, hoping what she was thinking right now was wrong.
"Maybe one of his friends just came over to visit, and he forgot to inform me," she soliloquizes. But when she picked up one of the clothes and it turned out to be Aiden's favorite shirt, her face turned completely pale.
She immediately rushed to the bedroom where the sounds were coming from, and sure enough, Aiden was right on top of a lady who was completely naked. He was so engrossed in the hot s*x that he didn't notice Sharon walking in.
Sharon stood at the door, shocked and confused at first. She even rubbed her face to make sure she was not seeing things. Then she gasped as she watched the two on the bed. Anger and hatred completely filled her heart slowly.
She rushed over to them and angrily hit Aiden with her bag. Aiden groaned from both pain and pleasure before he immediately stopped what he was doing.
The questions on Sharon's mind as she looked at him were: How could he have done this to her? She thought of what Benedict said at the company and gasped again. He cheated just before they finalized their wedding.
"You son of a bitch! How could you!?" She screamed, hitting him again with her bag again. Aiden withdrew from the lady and stood up, trying to evade her attacks.
"Babe, just calm down, okay? Calm down!" He said he was not even able to cover his nakedness. "Babe! Don't you dare to address me as babe! How dare you! After all we've been through together for all these years, you treat me like this!" She screamed, feeling immense pain in her heart.
She actually stopped hitting him and looked like she was about to cry. But she won't give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry. Aiden moved closer, trying to touch her.
"Babe, come on, don't cry. I don't want to see you cry," he said, touching her, but she shrugged his hands off her. "Aiden, why are you pleading? Let the bitch cry!" Sharon gasped as she heard the lady talk for the first time since she entered the room.
She shook terribly, looking at the lady in bed. "She...She...Sheila," she stuttered, unable to complete a sentence. Sheila smirked and stood up, wrapping the duvet around herself.
"What is it, bitch? Don't go about talking about how I cheated with your fiance, because Aiden was never and would never be yours," she said, moving closer to caress Aiden.
Aiden didn't even do anything to stop her. He only avoided looking directly into Sharon's eyes, subtly confirming that what Sheila is saying is really true.
"See this ring... He proposed to me, and very soon we'll be getting married after we welcome our first child," Sheila said, showing off the stunning ring on her finger while rubbing her stomach delicately.
'So she is already pregnant. How long have they been cheating behind my back?'Sharon thought as she clutched her chest tightly. Why would they do this to her? He could have just dated Sheila instead of deceiving her for so long. This heartbreak is too much to handle.
"Bitch better don't die here. You should get out and lock the door. Find somewhere else to die," Sheila answered, pulling Aiden back to bed.
Aiden turned to look at Sharon with a remorseful look. But Sharon missed his expression, as Sheila had already pushed him onto the bed and climbed on top of him.
They didn't even wait for her to leave before they started having s*x again. Sharon couldn't take it anymore, so she ran out of the room. Oh! She didn't forget to lock the door like Sheila asked her to.
She locked both the bedroom and the main door and even took the keys with her. As soon as she got out, she threw the keys far away from the house. I think they landed in the stream nearby.
She then turned around and made the f**k you sign.
'Fuck both of you. I hope you both suffocate in that room,' she thought as she walked away.

Present time
"Why won't this rain stop? Today is the worst day of my life," Sharon muttered, shivering from the cold, but she stubbornly refused to stand up from the bench. She bent her head and wept again.
The hooting sounds of the cars and noises from the passersby faded away as she slowly spaced out. She didn't even realize the cars passing were splashing mud on her. Neither did she realize how cold the weather is and how dark it is.
A few hours later, the rain had already stopped, but Sharon is still in the same position. People passed by every second, but no one even bothered to talk to her… No one bothered to ask the quiet, sad lady what happened.
A limousine passed by, and the occupants in it noticed Sharon. The bodyguard looked out of the window and asked, "What's she doing? Does she want to freeze to death?"
Around that time, there was little traffic on the road, so he could stare at Sharon all he wanted. He continued nagging about how careless she was to sit down on a bench in this cold weather without warm clothing on.
His boss finally got tired of his endless chatter and said, "Bring her in." The bodyguard was stunned at first, but when he received a cold glare from his boss, he quickly stood up.
The boss ordered his chauffeur to reverse, and the trail of cars following the limo also reversed.
The cars stopped in front of Sharon, but she didn't even notice them until the bodyguard came out of the car and made a loud sound, clearing his throat. Surprised, Sharon looked up to see the huge man standing in front of her.
It was then that she felt cold and noticed how late it was. She was about to say something, but the bodyguard spoke first: "Miss, my boss wants to see you." Then he said, "Follow me or die out here from the cold."
He then turned around to leave. Sharon gave him a puzzled look. Who is his boss? He sounds arrogant and cocky. Hell! Even the bodyguard behaves arrogantly.
Sharon didn't stand up, deciding she wouldn't follow the strange guy. The bodyguard returned just as he was about to open the car door and was surprised to see Sharon still sitting down obstinately.
He rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking of how impatient his boss must be right now. So he walked back to Sharon, bent down, and carried her over his shoulder roughly.
Sharon immediately screamed, "Put me down! Put me down this instant! This is illegal! It's called kidnapping!"
The bodyguard simply ignored her shouts and took Sharon to the limo. The man inside was able to hear the last statement Sharon made. He laughed coldly and asked, "Really? Who would believe that?"
Sharon gasped again as she recognized the man in the limo. What the heck is going on today? She did that thing by rubbing her eyes again to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
But it's really him!
He just rested his head on his hands, watching Sharon coldly and wondering why she's behaving this way.

Meanwhile, when Benedict came out to see his car bashed, he almost uprooted the whole company with his anger. He went to Porsche, shocked and not able to believe that it was his new car. He has not even finished paying for it yet.
He turned to look at the shaky employees behind him. No one dared look up at him. "Who among you did this!" He yelled, enraged.The employees shook their heads hurriedly, saying, "Not me, sir."
After many threats, the receptionist said, "Sir, after you came in, Sharon was the last person to leave." Benedict thought of it and believed her.
He then smiled coldly and said, "Seems like she hasn't learned her lesson yet. Making her jobless is not enough. Maybe when I make her homeless too, she will not dare to test my patience again."
He dismissed the staff, brought out his phone, and called someone. As soon as he ended the call, he smirked and said, "Sharon, you will come back to me soon begging for help."
To be continued…
Chapter 3
Sharon looked at him again, stunned. Sitting in front of her is Jasper Madon. He's one of the most popular billionaires in the city. He has been trending lately on headlines because he recently just lost his wife and his legs to a tragic accident.
He uses a wheelchair. Sharon stared at him as she couldn't believe that she was sitting in front of the nation's husband.
Yes, even before the accident, tabloids and magazines have always tagged him along with the title of the nation's husband. Meaning he is the most sought after man in the city.
The tabloids may be right about him being cold-hearted, but they forgot to add that he's also cocky and arrogant. He smirked at her coldly.
“What were you doing out there alone? Your clothes even look wet meaning you must have sat in the rain. What were you thinking?” he spoke slowly in an icy tone, emitting intense pressure on the other occupants in the car. Well, except Sharon of course.
Sharon frowned and answered, “I don't think that's your business Mister. Why have you asked your men to kidnap me? I didn't request your help! So let me go right now!”
The chauffeur was about to start driving away, but when he heard the angry lady's voice, he stopped confused about what to do. But as soon as he looked in the mirror and noticed the cold look on his boss' face, he immediately knew what to do.
Of course, Sharon saw all this and frowned. "Why is he doing the opposite of what she asked for?" He smiled and asked, "Who saw them kidnap you?”
Sharon immediately stopped shouting and looked out of the window. Everywhere is dark and there's no one in sight. So even if she wants to report this cocky man, no one will be able to assist her as there won't be any witnesses. That is if security will even believe her.
She suddenly panicked immediately thinking of begging him to release her. But then, with her stubborn personality, she refused to apologize for doing nothing. So instead, she started screaming for help while banging on the window loudly.
Jasper looked up feeling annoyed wondering if he made a mistake. The bodyguard that had literally forced Jasper to bring her in because of his complaints looked away in fear.
He dared not look at his face afraid to see the scary, cold and possibly annoyed look on his face. “Tch! So noisy,” Jasper said quietly. Sharon glared at him, her voice already raspy from shouting.
She was about to say something when his phone vibrated. Jasper glanced at the message and sighed. He suddenly looked so exhausted. Sharon swallowed what she wanted to say reluctantly, wondering why there is a sudden change in his expression.
She quit screaming and watched him lie back on the seat closing his eyes. Only after she had noticed the sudden sadness and exhaustion in his eyes.
★★★★★★
'Brother, Tia is crying non-stop again and Jimmy has refused to go to bed until he sees you,' this was the message Jasper read. It's from his younger sister, Lena. He sighed and closed his eyes.
Ever since Amber died in that fatal accident, he had to raise their two young children alone. It would have been difficult without Lena because during that accident he didn't only lose his wife, he also lost the use of legs.
Now he has to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Jimmy was a very understanding kid. He didn't even ask questions or say anything when he couldn't find his mother.
But it's really hard on Tia. She is just four months old and needs her mother's breast milk. He was contemplating getting a wet nurse for her, but Lena refused, saying she could take care of the baby herself.
But now he really should consider hiring a wet nurse as it's difficult for Lena to juggle between school activities and also take care of the kids.
He sighed again thinking, 'Amber why did you leave? I can't do this without you.' He closed his eyes and murmured, “Why did they do this to us? She didn't deserve this.” Sharon looked at him confused, “Who is he talking about?”
Neither he or Sharon said a word as the limo slowly drove away. Two quiet, broken hearts silently comforting each other.
★★★★★
As they arrived at their destination, Sharon gaped at the gigantic mansion amazed at the beauty and splendor of it. She couldn't stop staring at it. Even though she's from a rich family, the rich also have their own level.
We have the average class rich, the middle class rich and the high class rich. Sharon falls into the middle class rich even though she doesn't get to enjoy the benefits of wealth.
Jasper slowly opened his eyes seeing that the limo stopped. And the first thing he saw was Sharon staring out of the window with her mouth opened.
“Tch... Close your mouth or you might actually end up swallowing a fly. Besides, no one wants to see your yellow teeth,” he said, enjoying the change of expression on her face.
Sharon closed her mouth abruptly and turned to look at him. There was no sign of the sad or exhausted expression on his face earlier.
He's back to being cocky and arrogant. Let's add rude to the list. She looked at him. He has a handsome face like an angel, but beauty doesn't match with his characters at all.
She imagined herself beating him to a pulp right now and smiled happily because she was hitting him hard with a stick in her imagination. But then, he flicked his fingers in front of her and interrupted her happy thoughts.
“Why are you smiling that way? It doesn't suit your chubby face,” he remarked rudely. Sharon glanced at her smile on the window screen.
What does he mean? Her smile looks beautiful. She turned around and glared at him.
Before asking, “Why have you brought me here? Take me back right now!” Jasper rolled his eyes wondering who was just looking amazed right now and why she's pretending that she wants to go back.
Even after his accident made him unable to stand upright again, that fact didn't stop women from chasing him relentlessly. They still sent him numerous love letters and flowers that used to annoy Amber when she was alive.
Jasper smiled remembering the day Amber beat up one of his female staff just because she made coffee for him and put love designs on it. Meanwhile Sharon shivered watching Jasper smile while in deep thoughts. His smile is really scary right now. What the heck is he thinking about?
“You should frown more often. Smile doesn't suit your face because you like the joker right now,” Sharon spoke rudely.
Immediately she said that, it wiped off the smile on his face and replaced it with a frown. He looked at the rude woman opposite him and felt like yanking her hair so hard that she would cry out of pain.
He frowned and looked at his legs in regret. Sharon followed his point of view and instantly guessed what he was thinking. She smiled knowing no matter what she says or does, he can't do anything.
He glared at her and answered, “Watch what you say fatty. You should check your weight and go on a diet before insulting someone else.”
Sharon gasped and puffed up her cheeks angrily. ‘What a rude man? He dares to call me fatty.’ She already knows how chubby she is, so he doesn't have to rub it in her face.
“Being angry doesn't suit you. You look like a swollen puffed bun right now,” he said repeating what she had told him earlier.
Sharon gasped dramatically and pointed her finger at him, “You’re rude... Cocky...” She couldn't complete her statement cause the door suddenly opened and two hefty looking bodyguards helped Jasper into his wheelchair.
Sharon followed, not waiting or expecting anyone to invite her out. As they slowly walked towards the house, Sharon glanced at Jasper.
He looks so powerful sitting in the wheelchair. The cold expression on his face and his heavenly beauty makes him look just like a powerful sleeping lion. Just that in his case, he is sitting not sleeping.
★★★★★
“Babe! I think the door is jammed. I can't open it,” Sheila said as she tried opening the room door. She has dressed up already and is ready to go but she can't open the door.
Aiden walked out of the bathroom with only a towel and walked to the door. Sheila stared at him seductively and suddenly felt so wet looking at how yummy he looked.
Aiden looked at her and noticed the look on her face. He chuckled and said, “Babe don't give me that look. Unless you don't wanna leave this room today.”
Sheila pouted and replied, “It's not my fault that you look so delicious. I wanna eat you.” She whispered huskily when saying the last one. Aiden smiled and planted a quick kiss on her lips.
Then he tried opening the door. After a few trials he turned to her and said, “I think it's locked. It has never jammed before.” Sheila frowned, confused and suddenly thought of something.
“I swear I'm gonna kill that bitch when I next see her. She must have locked us in,” Sheila said angrily.
“Don't worry. I'll just call someone to come fix it,” Aiden said and went to pick his phone. He tried calling and suddenly realized that it was dead.
“Oh shit! My phone is dead. Babe can I have yours?” he asked and Sheila gave him her phone. He checked it and shouted, “No signal. Why is there suddenly no f**king signal!”
Now Sheila starts to panic a little thinking of the fact that they may suffocate in the room.
To be continued…
Chapter 4
As soon as Sharon and Jasper walked in, a slender beauty rushed towards them carrying a wailing baby. Sharon was taken aback.
She silently hit herself inwardly and whispered, “I'm such a fool. I just willingly followed him not even thinking about the possibility of him having a mistress. What if she starts a fight thinking I'm here to snatch her man?”
She was very surprised when the lady said, “Brother thank God you are back. I've fed her, changed her diaper, bathed her and even sang sweet lullabies to her but she won't stop crying.”
She walked around in a semi circle trying to pacify the wailing baby. “What do I do now? I have a date with Mac and I'm not even ready yet,” she panicked not even noticing Sharon.
“Calm down Lena. Just calm down. I'll call the nanny service right away and see if there's anyone available to watch Tia for tonight,” Jasper said, bringing out his phone.
“Let me carry her. I may not be good at many things but I'm good with babies,” Sharon said and Lena finally noticed her. She looked at Jasper, her eyes twinkling with mischief and amusement.
“Brother, you actually brought a lady home. She's so beautiful and...” She didn't finish when Jasper suddenly interrupted her.
“Shut up Lena. I thought you had a date. And she's not beautiful at all. She's rude and chubby. I only helped her,” Jasper remarked.
“You arrogant bastard. I didn't ask for your help,” Sharon replied, pulling his hair lightly.
Jasper winced in pain and said, “Hey watch it! No cussing in front of my daughter. I don't want your bad character to influence my princess.”
Lena, feeling amused, watched them banter about foolish pointless things. The baby seemed to have noticed that they ignored her, so she let out a loud scream followed by wails.
Her sudden loud cries immediately stopped those two from arguing. Even Lena was scared by her sudden outburst. “Shh... Shh... Shh… Baby don't cry,” she whispered, trying to pacify the baby who only increased the volume of her cries.
“Give her to me and get dressed,” Sharon said, collecting the baby from her. Lena hurriedly pecked the baby's cheek and ran upstairs to get dressed.
Sharon carried the tiny pretty baby and lay against her chest before patting her gently. She then began to sing low lullabies. Jasper watched in amazement as Tia slowly stopped crying and even started giggling.
He looked at Sharon, who was smiling while singing to Tia. It is actually surprising that Tia allowed her to even carry her cause ever since Amber's death, she wouldn't allow anyone to touch her.
Just crying profusely. It was only recently that she began to accept Lena carrying her. Even when the wet nurse wants to breastfeed her, she wouldn't accept it. That's one of the reasons why he didn't bother hiring wet nurses again.
Tia giggled again and Jasper lifted his beautiful hazel eyes to look at them. His heartbeat quickened just gazing at Sharon's enchanted face with the most beautiful smile plastered on it.
He's just realized that she actually looks more pretty with a smile on her face. She was quite pitiful earlier with dried tears and snot evident on her face. Now she's smiling so beautifully at Tia, who seems very happy to see the smile.
He lay back on his wheelchair obtaining a comfortable position then he observed Sharon quietly. She can't be considered as beautiful. Yet she isn't ugly. Well, he can't really say much about the baggy clothes she's wearing.
She is not tall. And she is a little bit chubby. Jasper shook his head at that thought. Nope! She is not a little bit chubby. She is very chubby. The only thing he likes about her right now is her beautiful smile that Tia seems to have fallen in love with.
Other than that, her other qualities are so horrible. He listed them in his head. She's so rude, sassy, and ungrateful. She kept on screaming for him to let her go when he only did her a favor. She looked like she didn't have anywhere to go back there and he only tried to save her from freezing to death.
He sighed and soliloquized, “This is what happens when you try to be good Jas. It's just better to keep your cold-hearted reputation.” Sharon heard him mumbling and turned to look at him.
“What did you say grumpy?” she asked him. He frowned at her for calling him grumpy. “I wasn't talking to you fatty,” Sharon gasped pouting.
Jasper looked at her pouted lips and said,“ If that is what you call a cute pout, I'd rather kiss a duck instead of you.”
Sharon glared at him, “Who wants to kiss you anyway? I'll have to bend down to do so. Why stress myself?” Jasper looked down at his wheelchair and glared at her. Was he just praising her right now? He must have been made to do so.
This short lady makes his blood boil with anger that he feels like teaching that sexy little rude mouth of hers a lesson. Oh jeez! He just called her mouth sexy. What's going on?
They were about to start another war of shouting and taunting each other when Tia whined cutely. She seemed to have realized that someone stole Sharon's attention from her, so she protested softly. Sharon glared at Jasper and quickly turned back to the baby.
“Shhh honey don't cry. Don't mind daddy. He likes bullying me a lot. Shh baby don't cry,” she said softly trying to pacify the baby.
Jasper looked at her in disbelief and remarked, “Me! How did I bully you? Tia does daddy look like someone that can bully anyone?” He made a cute sad facial expression. Sharon shook her head at his shamelessness.
The baby started to cry loudly while pouting her lips sadly. She made a hungry expression with her small lips. Sharon turned to look at Jasper, “I thought your sister already fed her but now she's hungry again. Where's her bottle?”
“She won't take it. She's supposed to have breast milk during this time but she won't accept any of the wet nurses I hired for her,” Jasper said, shaking his head sadly. He watched her kiss Tia's forehead lovingly. An idea suddenly clicked in his head.
“Why don't you breastfeed her instead?” he said smugly, feeling proud of his idea. “What!” Sharon almost choked.
★★★★★
Benedict walked into the huge mansion whistling softly. A maid came forward and collected his briefcase while greeting him. He watched the maid go as her mini skirt swayed sideways.
Then he shook his head frowning at the fact that he was just looking at a maid lustfully. He walked into the main sitting room and was very relieved to see both parents there.
He didn't even notice the worried looks on their faces as he rushed forward to complain about what had happened today.
He greeted them and quickly said,“ Dad Sharon bashed my car. She has destroyed it so badly that I'll have to pay more money to repair it than how much I bought it.”
“That daughter of mine is really becoming a rogue nowadays. Why is she just causing trouble everywhere?” His father asked, frowning slightly. Benedict was very relieved to see his reaction.
“That's not the most important thing right now. I can't find my daughter!,” his mother shrieked and Benedict looked at her confused.
“Mom, what are you talking about?” he asked worriedly. His mother held his hands and said,“ Ever since Sheila left this morning, she hasn't returned or called. I tried calling but it's not going through.”
“Did she tell you where she was going?” Ben asked, hugging his mother. She shook her head to indicate NO. “I'll go find her right away mom.Please stop crying,” he said and kissed her forehead.
Then he walked out thinking, ‘There's only one place Sheila can be now and it's Aiden place.’
