"Mom, you…" said Wilson.Suddenly, Tiana yelled, "You're right! Your son is out of my league. So now, I'm going to let some other girl be a servant to him and let her enjoy the life I lived!""Why are you yelling?" Wendy raised her voice too. "Did I force you to marry him? You were the one who threw yourself at him. "If it wasn't for you, Wilson could have married a more educated girl from a better family! You're nothing except for having passable looks!" "Is that why you treated me like a servant?" Tiana retorted. She looked at Wendy with red-rimmed eyes and said, "Mrs. Tate, is that all you have to say of me after the two years I was married to Wilson? "Who was there to take care of you when you were sick? Who washed your feet and scrubbed your back? Who massaged your limbs when you couldn't sleep at night?" Tiana pushed on. "I did yoga with you just to keep you company and went to the movies with you when you wanted to go. "I even dressed up and went to visit your rela
Wilson had always been successful since he was a kid, and everyone thought of him as a prodigy. Everybody at the workplace sang his praises too. This was his first time being complained about, and by his own wife too. Wilson felt terrible seeing Tiana's red-rimmed eyes, gritted teeth, and icy expression. He did not want a divorce. He felt as if their relationship wasn't so bad that it called for divorce. However, Tiana looked resolute, and she ignored all his pleas for reconciliation. Wilson felt helpless.Tiana had already started settling money matters with him. She said, "According to the market price in Haldon City, a housekeeper's wage starts from ten thousand dollars per month. I worked like a housekeeper for you guys for two years, so I should get 250 thousand dollars."As for the days I took care of your mother when she was sick and the medicine I bought her, five thousand dollars is not too much to ask."I also bought all sorts of gifts for celebrations, your relative
Wendy couldn't tolerate this anymore and said, "Wilson, she doesn't love you anymore. Why do you still want her back so shamelessly? You have everything it takes to find a better wife!"Wilson knew that Wendy had just ruined any chance of him getting Tiana back. As expected, Tiana laughed coldly. "She's right. You're so capable that you could even marry a princess. Transfer me the money now and we'll sign the divorce papers!" said Tiana."Wilson, I think that's enough," said Larry. "You did not discuss it with me before marrying her. Yet, you're still unwilling to settle things when it's already become like this. Why are you still hesitating?"Wilson said nothing. Tiana and his parents hated each other now, and their attitudes were obvious. It was too late for him to change their minds. This was the end of his marriage.Tiana knew that he had accepted reality and said, "Transfer the money to my bank account. See you at the city hall tomorrow at 9:00 a.m."Then, she added, "Mr. a
Shane was speaking to Tiana, but his flirty gaze was fixed on Sage. He continued, "Ask her to notice more of my plus points and accept me sooner!"Sage glared at him, and Tiana burst out laughing. "Okay, I'll try my best," said Tiana."I'm taking your car. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning!" said Shane. He then sped off before Sage could refuse."Why do I feel like he's going to beat Ian with all his effort?" teased Tiana.Sage put her arm around Tiana's shoulders and said, "It seems like you're still in the mood to care about my business. Are you really feeling okay?"Tiana sighed. "Do I seem so weak to you? Wilson's just some guy who doesn't love me. I can dump him any time. I can definitely live without him!"Sage didn't know how much Tiana meant what she said, but she still felt relieved. Tiana's courage in leaving Wilson in this life was much better than her misery in the past life. "Tiana, I'm sure you'll find happiness," said Sage sincerely."Hey, stop it. No need to
Wilson's phone didn't have a pin, so Tiana just swiped it open. She deleted her number and all her social media accounts from his phone, including all their chat histories. "It's done!" She handed his phone back to him and said, "I'll delete your number too, and we'll be strangers from now on."Wilson seldom contacted her anyway, so she thought that he would be even less likely to look for her if she deleted all her contact methods."Tiana, must we really be like this?" Wilson frowned."Is something wrong? I've quit being your housekeeper, so there's no more reason for you to keep my contact. "I won't bother you with my problems anymore, and I hope you'll do the same. Don't come asking me if you can't find your belongings anymore," said Tiana."Tiana, please stop calling yourself a housekeeper. We were husband and wife over these two years." "Fine. Goodbye, ex-husband. We're strangers from now on," said Tiana.She wanted to walk away, but Wilson called out after her again. "
Giselle's cool remark came as a relief for Sage, and even more so for Shane. Shane, who was in the middle of a drinking bet with Calvin, set his glass down and went over to Giselle when he overheard her talking about calling off the engagement. "Have you finally come around?"Giselle concealed her disappointment from him and scoffed. "I never liked you that much in the first place. I was just misled by our parents. Now, I'm free from heartache, and it's your turn to experience it. I hope you get it worse than me!"As if that wasn't enough, she turned to Sage. "Sage, I'll leave him to you now!"Feeling both entertained and speechless, Sage did not reply to Giselle. Shane nonchalantly remarked, "It's good. I don't mind suffering a little heartache for Sage. A good life is made up of various new experiences, after all!"Sage and Giselle stared at him wordlessly.Calvin, unhappy to see Shane close to Sage, challenged him. "Hey, Shane, are you chickening out? Let's keep on drinking!
Ian remained close to her. He trapped her with an arm and said, "You have agreed to accept me as one of your suitors. Yet, you are still hostile to me, unlike how you treated Shane."He recalled the way Shane had unabashedly left the company in Sage's car. When Sage left the Tate family, she made Shane drive her and Tiana home. On top of that, their chemistry in the lounge pissed him off.Looking up, she glared at him. "I'm being nice by not kicking you out!"Holding his temper in, he couldn't help but hug her. "My Sage, I promise that nothing from your dream would actually happen. Don't hate me, please."She was surprised by his words. Even if the past events did not reoccur in this life, the trauma wouldn't go away. Just as she opened her mouth, she heard Giselle shouting at her. "Sage Joyner!" She turned around and met Giselle's eyes. Giselle gasped. "Oh, is this why you've been away forever? You're hanging out with Mr. Holcomb?"Sage shoved Ian away in frustration and shame.
Sage felt slightly stung when Ian brought up the abortion. Indeed, she had been resentful of him because he had forced her into an abortion. She hated the fact that he had stopped her from strangling Ivy, and for refusing to believe that she was carrying his child.However, when she calmed down and gave it more thought, she realized that it was her fault for misleading Ian in the first place by claiming that Shane was the father.Besides, given Ian's skeptical personality, his distrust did not come as a surprise.She shrugged his hand off and mumbled, "I don't resent you. It's all in the past anyway."After that, she paid no more attention to him and headed back to the lounge.…That night, Tiana successfully got herself drunk. Sage had to help her into a cab at the end of the night.In the cab, Tiana rested her head on Sage's shoulder and muttered, "Sage, I feel so relieved and exhilarated. The last two years were so frustrating.""Right? You should have let go earlier." Sage
