Chapter 1Divorce

"Ewan, I want a divorce."

Athena spoke, finding her voice a minute after seeing her husband, Ewan, and his self-acclaimed best friend, Fiona, in an intimate position on the black, long, plushy L-shaped, gold trimmed sofa in the sitting room.

What good husband would abandon his wife to grief today? What good husband would choose his work—or rather mistress now—to spending at least five minutes to mourn with his wife over her mother's death? What good husband was that cold hearted? 

Seeing them had brought to her remembrance the unflattering, yet heartbreaking picture that Fiona had sent to her two days ago; of Ewan sleeping at Fiona's home, in her bed, intertwined with her. 

Athena had been beyond pained then, but now she just let out a sarcastic laugh.

 

Divorce?

Athena had always thought it an abstract event, relegated to certain people, but not her. Yet at this moment, this was the only thing she wanted to do.  Oh, the tides of life! 

 

She watched now as Fiona dealt her a withering glare before slithering out of the arms of Ewan who had turned lazily to see the disrupter of his peace.

 

"What did you just say, Athena?" Ewan asked, sitting up properly on the sofa, his countenance, a canvas of aloofness. A bystander would think that he was asking about the weather, or inquiring about the time.  

 

"I've had enough, Ewan. Grant me a divorce." Athena answered, clamping down the hurt and searing pain that was threatening to mask her face on seeing Fiona slip her right hand into Ewan's open palm. 

Was that a solidarity stance? Athena wasn't sure, but it pained her the most; her heart tethered on breakage the most when Ewan clasped, and covered Fiona's hand with an attitude that suggested normalcy.

 

Athena felt faint then, yet she stood her ground, choosing to see the end of this matter there and then, before disappearing to grieve two losses. She believed that she had no choice at the moment. 

Seeing that Ewan didn't care for her emotions, had never cared actually, it would be stupid of her to break down in tears before them. Her foolishness and naivety of three years ended here. She no longer had the desire to thaw the ice that was Ewan Giacometti.

   

"I told you from the very beginning." Ewan started, rubbing gentle slow circles on Fiona's palm.

 An act, which Athena swallowed bravely amidst the withering ache that assailed her heart, without blinking an eyelid. 

"There would be no easy way out of this marriage. Not until I get what I want from you and that day looks to be a long way off. Unfortunately, cliche though it may seem, you've made this bed and we both have to lay in it."

 

"I can't live like this anymore, Ewan. Yes, stupid me made the bed, but I think we should get rid of the bed at this point. There is no use lying on it again." Athena attempted the dark humor with a chuckle, resting nonchalantly by a wall, choosing to take up the aloof countenance that her husband was sporting. She knew she couldn't cower at this point. 

On her lips were a chilly smile that grated on Fiona's nerves, and in her eyes were a mixture of stark hatred and anger which unsettled Ewan deeply.

 

Ewan stood then, so instant and aggressive—the first crack in his aloof countenance—that Athena's right hand unconsciously flew over her stomach. 

This action didn't go unnoticed by Fiona, whose mind wheels were already in motion.

 

"Do you think I'm happy being with you?" Ewan asked, unable to mask the tremor in his voice, still raking in a shallow unbelief that Athena would want to dispose of him nonchalantly.

Had her love been fake all this while? Well, wasn't she her father's daughter? 

"I need a divorce too, wife. But first, you need to bring forth a son for your father, so that he can return my property to me." He covered the distance between them as he dropped the bombshell.

 

Athena furrowed her eyebrows, not understanding what property Ewan was talking about. "What are you talking about, Ewan?"

 

"The illiterate breeder feigns ignorance."

 

Athena bristled at Fiona's snide comment, but she didn't grab the bait. 

Ignoring the jab at her education status, another cruelty of life to her, she concentrated on the other two disturbing factors. Breeder? Property?  What were the two idiots talking about?

 

She had thought that Ewan's obsession with a son had been because of the maintenance of his noble lineage, and to further cement the union of the two companies that had been at loggerheads with each other since forever. However, she was beginning to think that there was more to the story, more that her father had kept hidden from her. 

This knowledge pushed her to tighten her hand over her stomach, as if to protect the child that she recently found had taken solace in her womb.

 

Athena had gotten the great news two days ago, but had decided to keep it under the wraps till after her mother's funeral. Foolish her had thought she could thaw Ewan's cold heart with the news, but with these new revelations, she knew that was an impossible matter. 

She didn't know of her father's role in her marriage, only that he had persuaded her, his only child, to marry Ewan, but she wouldn't leave her child in the hands of two cold men.

 

"You want to be gone?" She heard Ewan ask, his voice retrieving its cold and aloof quality.

She nodded her head slowly, holding his gaze, unruffled when his blue eyes got darker with rage at her answer.

 

"Then give me a son. Until then, take that thought of divorce off your head. Hopefully, your barren womb will take pity on us, and conceive after this night."

 

 "No way! I will never ever-" 

But before Athena could finish her statement, Ewan, with an insane speed and agility, to the surprise of both women, carried Athena on his shoulders, and trudged angrily towards their bedroom.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!

Lin Fu's biggest regret was being born into a military police family, yet due to physical limitations, she could only sing and dance in the cultural troupe, serving as a qualified vase. Accidentally traversing to the interstellar era three thousand years later, she was thrilled to discover she possessed a rare S-level psychic power, inherently cut out to be a fleet commander. She would attend the military academy, join the Marine College, command a cosmic fleet, and become a gallant female general. ** However, her new identity was just the daughter of a remote star system's farm owner. To achieve her dream, she aimed to marry into the family of the empire's youngest space fleet commander. Commander His Excellency was cold and abstinent, with an imposing presence, yet devastatingly handsome enough to break hearts. Lin Fu fell for him at first sight. She wanted to have him, and even more, she wanted to stash him away secretly. ** Later on, the whole interstellar space finally learned that the always ridiculed incompetent bumpkin was actually the commander of the Empire's Third Fleet. She was also the former most noble and adorable Princess Freya of the royal family, as well as the fearsome star thief that made people tremble. The entire interstellar was boiling with excitement. The handsome and noble commander His Excellency was not happy: What happened to the promise of stashing me away privately?
