Third-person pov "You can't possibly be serious, Cole!" Whitney hissed as she stared back at Cole with an annoyed look on her face. "And why exactly do you think that I'm not being serious right now, Whitney? What else do you expect me to do? Did you really think that I was going to let my pride get in the way? I'm not that stupid, Whitney! Don't underestimate me like that," Cole responded, not liking how Whitney was reacting to the fact that he had told her about meeting up with Monique. The reason he didn't tell her beforehand was because he knew how dramatic she was, and the last thing he wanted was for her to let her emotions dictate how they should go about the fact that Monique was about to be a problem again. Whitney rolled her eyes at him, letting her irritating show before responding. "I'm starting to find it very difficult to believe you when you say you're not stupid, Cole. I mean, how do you not realize how stupid and embarrassing you must have looked when you decide
MONIQUEI was stunned. I was trying to comprehend all that he had just said to me. It didn’t feel real but then it was because he was right in front of me telling me what I should know about him, things he never said before.This was why he rescued me. He also had a vendetta against Whitney and was amused by my action that day when I interrupted their wedding by pouring a bucket of red paint on her white dress.Whitney wasn’t her real name. I couldn’t believe it. Does Cole know this? I thought to myself but then again if he doesn’t know it’s none of my business because it would be nice for her to deal with him just as she did with every other but at the same time her type shouldn’t be walking around freely. “I want to take her down. I want to expose her true identity to the world and for me to do that, I need your help. She is the cause of my younger brother's death and also the reason my mother is on the bed, lying helpless and paralyzed,” Gavin said through gritted teeth, I also di
Monique "This can't be happening," I muttered under my breath as I scrolled through the comments under one of the many articles that were posted about me. I honestly did not think that this situation was going to blow out of proportion this way, but my name hasn't left the media ever since the first article was released, and not only was everyone talking about the fact that I'm only recently divorced, they were also talking about how I was now the CEO of one of Gavin's companies. When I initially found out that an article was released, I had hoped that the situation would die down very quickly, but instead, it kept getting worse by the minute. Gavin hasn't stopped calling as many reporters as he knew to help him diffuse the situation, but it seemed as though the more he tried to put an end to the mess, the messier it would get. Right now, I was reading through an article that not only accused me of being a gold digger, but I was also accused of trying to get back at my ex-husb
Monique I walked into Gavin's office slowly, doing the very best that I could to mask the fact that I was nervous. As soon as I walked in, the first thing I saw was Gavin's father, Anthony Jones, standing in front of his son with a very disapproving look on his face. Mentally sighing, I closed the door behind me, and both men immediately turned to look in my direction. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the lady of the moment," Anthony said as soon as he saw me, and of course, I knew he was being sarcastic with his comment. "Hello, Mr. Jones. It's good to see you," I said, maintaining a polite tone. He scoffed as soon as I responded and then proceeded to roll his eyes at me. "I wish I could say the same for you, but unfortunately, I can't say it's good to see you because it's not good to see you," he hissed. "Do you realize how much embarrassment and shame you have brought into my family and to my last name? Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is for me to have a daughter-in
MONIQUE“You don’t have to worry about my dad,” Gavin said to me some seconds after his dad left. I heaved a sigh of deep relief. It was tense earlier and now I was able to maintain composure still made me surprised.“I cannot help but think about what he said though. We have to find out who is behind all of this. It has been weeks Gavin and my name is always out there, it’s like there’s someone who wants my downfall,” I explained to him. “My men are doing everything they can in their powers and it seems the person behind this also has a strong connection because they seem to prevent any hint or traces that leads back to them,” he replied.I closed my eyes, trying to mentally calm myself because I was starting to choke. I can’t keep avoiding it. No matter how hard I tried not to get affected, I was still affected and I hated it. “I spoke to Cole earlier today,” I revealed.“You did what? And what did he say?” Gavin inquired.“I went to speak to him concerning the news surrounding m
MONIQUE“You know what? Say whatever makes you sleep well at night okay? I am bigger than you and will always be and you will always be that girl that wants everything I want but won’t and can’t get it, that’s just simple as it is,” I stated firmly. I sighed deeply and I smiled at her. “You just wasted my time and I regret saying a word to you. Since you already said what it is that you have to say then you might as well let me go, alright?”I turned to leave but felt her arms around me. I frown at her, expecting her to let go but she doesn’t let go.“I hate you so much,” she said with so much venom laced in her tone and although it was not surprising, it felt annoying hearing her say it to me. “And why do you think I’m finished? You can’t leave unless I want you to so don’t make me angry,” she said boldly and I mentally scoffed in disbelief before taking her hand off me.“You don’t get to tell me what to do. I said I’m done speaking to you and that’s it. I’m done and that’s it, und
MONIQUE“Exactly. She won’t succeed because I already know her plans and what she does. So this time around I would be able to get rid of her. I would have all the evidence that I want already to use and bring her down,” he said.“That’s where she loses it all. This is where her plans finally backfires,” I added.“But I do have a question tho. With all the wealth that she has acquired, what does she do with it and why isn’t it enough for her to stop?” I mean there must be something else making her do the same work without stopping. She has acquired a lot of money for her to finally start a new life but she refuses.“That’s another question I have in mind but the closer I get to her once my plans begin to work, the easier it will be for me to know a lot about her,” he replied. I sighed deeply. I took the glass of wine in his hand and took a sip.“I think I will call it a night and go to bed. I have a long day ahead,” I said getting up on my feet. “Alright. Goodnight. Get ready for t
Monique Gavin and I walked into the hall where the event had already commenced, and many people were already present at the party. Despite how many times I told myself that I wasn't going to get nervous, the second I took in my surroundings and realized that I was surrounded by rich and famous people, the nervousness that I tried to suppress sprouted out, and I unconsciously started to clench my fists while holding on to my dress. "Are you okay?" Gavin asked. "You look pretty pale right now," he pointed out, and I felt a little embarrassed by how obvious it was that I was nervous. "Don't mind me, Gavin. I'm just a little nervous right now," I responded, and he chuckled."It's only understandable that you're nervous, but I want you to know that today you're here as my wife, and as my wife, you're unstoppable and untouchable. There might be a few comments you might not like to hear, but ignore every disrespectful comment and keep in mind that you deserve to be here," he said, tryi
