" what sort of outfit" Tamar asked " baby, the one that dude bought for you on your last birthday, that gown seem great "Alice replied. She quickly jumped out of the bathroom and rushed in search of the beautiful peplum pink gown she was gifted with. She looked at herself in the mirror, smiling, then a thought flashed through her mind, as her face expression changed. She remembered when her parents bought her a beautiful gown for a beauty pageant, she had won the pageant competition and was awarded. Tamar was indeed beautiful and brilliant but everything had changed in the past few years back. Pom pom, she was shocked by the horn of the car because she was already lost in her thought. " Alice, Is that you" she tried to shout ,but her voice went faint as if she has been crying earlier. Tamar wasn't expecting any answer though, she walked down the wooden entrance door as she slowly opened the door, standing before her was a very tall man of about 6.2 inches. She was surprised that morning as she wasn't expecting any visitor, as she was about to request for an introduction from the young man, she heard a voice calling her name from a far off. "Tamar my baby" ,it was Alice. Alice came close ,greeted the young man and because she was a forward person, she didn't waste time asking why he was there that evening. The young man introduced himself as Claire. " I am here to see the most beautiful lady in this city " Claire said."

" this party, you have to attend, kindly tell your so called Claire to wait till tomorrow, I can't afford you missing the beautiful moment at the party tonight and besides I am not ready to gist you" Alice said. "Therefore, do yourself a great favour by coming with me" Alice added.

" you are only going to miss the bunch of money we will be given, and it can't be compared to the token this your Claire will give you" Alice said as she leaves.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
