This Guy Is Somewhat Sweet

His Trophy Wife, The Apex Predator

Eydie Pfefferle

My husband of three years, Arthur Vanderbilt, came home smelling of his mistress's perfume and threw divorce papers on our marble kitchen island. He demanded I sign away all rights to our assets for a five-million-dollar "severance," calling me a leech his family picked up from the suburbs to solve a temporary PR crisis. When I refused and demanded my four percent equity in the Vanderbilt Group, he and his mistress, Serena, launched a vicious smear campaign. They planted false stories on Wall Street forums, accusing me of laundering money for an Eastern European crime syndicate. They tried to force my hand with a check for five hundred million, which I tore up and threw in his face. To them, I was just a trophy wife they could easily discard. They had no idea that the "leech" they so despised was the anonymous investor who had secretly bailed out their entire company three years ago, saving them from bankruptcy. Their final move was to hire an actress to publicly accuse me of fraud in the lobby of the most powerful law firm in Manhattan. They didn't realize I was there to retain the firm's most ruthless lawyer. After security threw them out, I looked my replacement in the eye and made her a promise. "Prepare for an FBI probe into perjury and corporate defamation."

Oh shit! It's already midnight. And still, I am not able to sleep. Ouch! I just fall from my bed. What's happening with me, tonight. Why can't I sleep? How will I?

It's barely a few more hours to pass and I will be reaching my New College. I know not a single one there. How will I overcome the living situation here?

Ok, I need to be relaxed by getting some fresh air. Who's standing there? Is he Daniel? Yes, He is Daniel. He was my best friend.

But a few weeks ago in the farewell party, where all were disguised in masks. Kaile was also wearing the same gown as mines.

And Daniel kissed her, but it wasn't his mistake. He was too drunk, but Kaile should have stopped him, but she didn't. I think she liked him, but all the other students including my friends thought it was me.

I had always told them that Daniel is just a friend of mine who has nothing with my love life. At that moment, I don't know what happened, I learned about that the incident afterward from my Mom.

Oh no! My alarm is ringing. But where is it?

It's there but first I need to switch on the lights. Now it's already five what else can I do? I had to quickly check my bag.

And then I need a cold shower as my body stinks. But I was not able to ignore Daniel's face. Why was he so upset? Why? I want to know the reason behind his sadness.

And, this question is eating my head up. I quickly changed my attire. Was he upset about me going to the hostel? Oops! by mistake, I stepped on something.

What is that? Oh! it's my diary. I have just forgotten about my dairy. Let me put it in my backpack.

Suddenly, Mom shouted, "Where are you, Cristill?"

Oh! Mom, wait a minute I am ready. I am just coming. I ran downstairs but none of my friends came to say the last goodbye including Daniel. But why?

I haven't done anything unfair so why it's arising to me?

Mom said, "Breakfast is prepared, honey, be quick to finish it."

Ok mom, should I leave a letter to Daniel? But If he doesn't want it? No, I shouldn't leave a letter as he didn't come here to say goodbye.

Mom should, "Kiddo! fast, I am waiting in the car."

Wait for a little just let me tell goodbye to my room, bed, and all stuff. I have to leave my phone also.

Mom replied, "No you can take it."

I asked, "But are phones allowed?"

Mom replied, "Yes, but you cannot use it during the day but it's allowed from 9 to 10, as many students come from very far.

So let's go now!"

I feel a little awkward. As I don't know if something bad is waiting for me there or not? Mom and I were talking about the hostel and we reached there.

So this is my new hostel. It seems to nice.

I kinda like it! I can see someone from here.
