Amanda's POVI am furious as I storm out of the ballroom. It was supposed to be my night tonight. I was supposed to get Chase to notice me. All that happened tonight is that I made a fool of myself, all thanks to that brat. My beautiful dress is ruined, but I can return it to Susan. She said that I had to be careful. How was I supposed to know the little brat would step on my dress? And I think he did it on purpose. He pretends it was an accident, but he is just as cunning as his mother. I will not be surprised if his mother puts him up to it. I hate Belinda. I want to get home and forget what happened tonight, but I guess it will be all over the Internet. I jump into our car. Then I realized one thing. I walked out with my naked butt because Jake was not behind me. He was supposed to protect me from people laughing at me. Where did he go? My mother and father came running after me."You stormed away while Jake's parents were calling him. Why didn't you wait for me? I was trying to ca
Jake's POVI get out of the car and walk into the house. As expected, the three people I despise are still waiting for me. I am not afraid of them. I know they can be evil, but I am not scared of them. Amanda looks furious when she is sitting in a high-school sweatpants and top. Typical, she still lives in high school and will never grow up. Why didn't I see this before? Why didn't I see her selfishness before? Why didn't I know that she would never grow up? I could have been with a woman like Belinda. Now, I am stuck with this woman and about to tell her I want a divorce. I know they are already furious with me, but they will throw tantrums like always. They only use me because they think I will inherit all my parent's money one day. My parents have threatened to disinherit me if I do not divorce Amanda. "Where did you run off to? Why didn't you protect me? I am your wife. You let the whole world see my nakedness at the ball! I am the laughing stock on the Internet. That picture is
Chase's POV It is time that Belinda and I started investigating the circumstances in which her mother's death occurred. Now that she has kicked them all out of her properties, we can continue investigating what happened to her mother. I know that the case investigator must have been corrupted or paid off. We cannot go to him. We will have to go to another investigator and ask him to reopen the case and look into her mother's death. Perhaps I had something on him. I do not know if he's even in the police force anymore. I know a few investigators and have a few friends in the police. I will have to talk to Belinda about it after we spend the first night together in our room. She allowed me to stay in her room. We now cannot return to separate rooms because of Conner. The sex is excellent, and I know Belinda enjoys it as much as I do. However, she never utters a word of love. I know I love her, and I will never let her go. However, I do not know how she feels about me. We will have to
Jake's POVWe have waited a few days until all the arrangements have been made for me to leave America before we announce my divorce from Amanda. Today, me and my father will talk about the divorce. Although my father is not one of the wealthiest people in New York, he has a reputation in town. We must explain to the world why we will not proceed with this marriage. I'm ready to move to Europe. I cannot see Belinda. Knowing I am in dangerous territory, I always want her, and nobody messes with Chase Stone. I cannot wait to get away from that family. The Jones is not good for me, and I know getting away from their problems with Belinda and her husband is the best thing I can do. I will also announce my departure from the law firm. I know everything is going to work out. I have to find a new life in Europe. I also have one thing I need to do before I leave. I need to go and apologize to Belinda and Chase. I know my father wants me to do that because he does not want to lose his business
Amanda's POV I am curious where I stand and hear Jake's accusations against me. How dare he tell the world that I am not expecting his child? I know that I have been sleeping with other people. However, that does not allow him to humiliate me like this in public. Please don't assume that it is my fault that he is not a good lover or husband. I know he has been craving for Belinda ever since he left her. How do you live with her husband, who longs for another woman? He has always told me he made his biggest life mistake by taking me and leaving Belinda. I cannot believe his cruelty to me—throwing all our dirty laundry like this in front of the public. I thought he loved me, but I am sure he has never loved me. He always loved Belinda. I wouldn't say I like anything about this situation I am in. "How dare you? Amanda is my daughter, and you are slandering her in front of everybody. You cannot talk, Jake Green. Everybody knows that you have always been in love with Amanda's sister, Bel
Amanda's POVI do not believe that I can live on my own. I do not know where to go. I have no friends that are willing to take me in. It is my fault that I never made any friends. There are not many women in this town who like me. Most of them hate me. Can I blame them? I have slept with most of their husbands. What I forget is that it takes two to tango. I could not have had affairs without men that are not willing. At least I have a little bit of money that I have saved over the years. It is not much, and it will not take me far. I know I will not be welcomed in my father's business anymore. I will have to look for another job. Maybe I can ask Belinda if she is willing to take me in, but I have mistreated her in the past, and I do not believe she wants me close to her.I do not know what Belinda thinks about us being half-sisters, and I do not believe that she appreciated that my father cheated on her mother while her mother was still alive. However, I do have information about her
Amanda's POV I drive to Belinda's office. I hope she will see me. I would not want to see me if I were her. But there is nothing else I can do but go to her and talk to her. I know my mother took the money from my in-laws. If they think I'm going to get rid of the baby, they are making a big mistake. I will take my child, and I will raise him myself. I do not care anymore what people think of me. And I do not care who the father of this child is as long as I know he is mine. I keep thinking of the child as a boy, but it can be a little girl, and I do not care as long as the child is healthy. I stop in front of Belinda's office. There are tears in my eyes as I go to the reception. "Mrs Green, how can I help you?" The receptionist asks, and I can see that she has a smile. I know that she saw the press conference. Many people are delighted that I have come to a fall. I do not care. I know I am not a good lawyer at all. Today, I have just faced myself. And I realized that I am not as gre
Belinda's POV I know I do not show feelings when looking at my sister. I never thought about her as my sister, but now I have to think about her as my sister, as I know that we are half-sisters and not stepsisters. I feel sorry for her, although I do not show it. Having a husband who does not care about you must be hard. It must be hard to be alone with parents who do not care. I know how that felt when I got pregnant. At least I have somebody that loves me. Chase may not be perfect, but he is a good father. Well, I cannot complain. He is a good husband as well. I will help her. I will help her with this divorce case, and I will help her get the money that her parents got from her father-in-law. They had no right to take the money. They had no right to choose for her. I will ensure that they do not even see their grandson because I am sure that although she has cheated, she was careful. I have a feeling that Amanda knows Jake is the father of her child. I know she wants to ensure it
