"Congratulations, Aurora. Today you've officially acquired a new status."In Rayyen's workspace, Aurora appeared visibly happy as she received the documents just handed to her by her cousin. Starting today, from this moment forward, she was officially divorced and held the status of a widow.Aurora knew this wasn't an achievement to boast about. In fact, some people out there regarded being a widow as a disgrace that would subject someone to judgmental looks.However, Aurora wouldn't let that happen. No matter who it was, nobody had the right to demean her. And most importantly, after this divorce, she could finally break free from the Toxic family that had weighed her down."Thank you so much, Ray. Thanks to your help, my divorce process could finally be completed quickly. And now, I can truly be free from Alex and his family."Rayyen could see the sparkle in those brown eyes filled with happiness. Aurora was relishing the euphoria of freedom that she had patiently awaited for so lon
Savana seemed to waste no time in holding the wedding ceremony for her beloved only son. Just five days after officially becoming a widower, today she escorted Alex to marry Nicole, making her his lawful wife as a replacement for Aurora.Held in a multipurpose hall, many guests were present. Most of them were from families, relatives, and a few close friends.The international-themed wedding party lasted until the evening. When the event was over, Alex immediately took Nicole and Savana back home.However, as they entered the mother's residence complex, the three of them were surprised. Along the way to the house, they found flower arrangements sent to them, the messages of which infuriated Savana.Instead of receiving congratulatory flower arrangements for the wedding, Aurora sent condolence flowers for Alex and Nicole's wedding."Condolences for the wedding of a wicked couple.""Congratulations on entering a new hell for the adulterous couple.""Congratulations on starting a new lif
Aurora scrutinized the white and gold invitation in her hand attentively. It clearly stated that today was the date when Alex and Nicole were getting married.If Aurora wanted, she could attend the wedding party. However, since she had already made plans with Asher, she was now waiting for the right moment to visit and give a special gift to the newlyweds."Aurora, you okay?"Asher had just arrived. Catching Aurora lost in thought, he quickly addressed her."What makes you think I'm not?"Asher approached where Aurora was sitting. He even deliberately stared intently, locking onto Aurora's shimmering eyes, then spoke with a feigned serious tone."Are you really okay?" Then his hand reached out, deliberately placed on Aurora's forehead as if checking her body temperature. "No fever. Huh." Asher raised his eyebrows. Then he looked back at Aurora. "Blood pressure okay, right? How's your heart rate? If you feel any abnormal or problematic palpitations, luckily I have injection medicine in
Nicole is cornered. She doesn't know what dream she had last night that led her to be bombarded and hit by a tsunami of facts by Aurora and Asher.Earlier this morning, Nicole had performed the ritual of seven-colored flower baths. She hoped fervently that the sacred procession of her wedding with Alex would proceed smoothly and without any obstacles.Initially, she felt happy and proud because she finally became the legitimate wife of Alex Wildblood. Basically, Nicole wanted to prove to Aurora that she, who was considered a servant, could become the only queen in Alex's heart.Throughout the day, Nicole had imagined that after this, she would embark on a honeymoon and hoped that in the following days, she would live happily with the man she had pursued since the beginning.However, Nicole's painstakingly crafted dream was threatened to vanish. She cursed Asher and Aurora's interference, suddenly bringing her mother to visit her in-laws' residence.Moreover, Alex and Aurora had offici
Bastian wiped the blood trickling from the corner of his lip. He didn't flinch when Alex delivered hard punches to his face and stomach.Bastian realized he had made a fatal mistake. What else could he do? He couldn't resist Nicole's temptations."Outrageous!"As if unsatisfied with his blows, Alex shouted loudly. His jaw clenched tightly, showing that he was truly consumed by anger."Despite everything, I considered you like a brother.""I'm sorry," Bastian replied remorsefully."When did you two first get involved?" Alex asked, curious. But thinking about it, there seemed to be no way for Bastian to approach Nicole, let alone get close to her. Almost every day, Nicole met and spent a lot of time having fun with Alex."Since your first affair was discovered by Aurora."Alex's brow furrowed reflexively."What do you mean?""Yes," Bastian nodded. "When your relationship with Nicole was sniffed out by Aurora. You and Nicole separated for a few months, right? There, Nicole initially aske
Aurora and Asher just arrived at their parents' house. When the black Jeep Rubicon was neatly parked, Asher was momentarily confused. Instead of quickly getting out, his sister remained silent for quite a while."Aurora, come on, let's get out. We've arrived."This invitation was ignored. Turning to Aurora, Asher gazed intently, making sure his sister was okay."Aurora Harperwood, are you okay?"Aurora looked up, smiling faintly, her eyes appearing reddened."No. Totally No, Ash."Then, without saying much, Aurora approached and threw herself into a hug. She held her younger brother tightly for a moment, shedding all the tears she had been holding back.Despite the revelation of Alex and Nicole's affair, not to mention the facts about Savana's involvement in the destruction of her marriage, Aurora hadn't shed a single tear until now. She had made sure she appeared strong. Besides, as Rayyen had said, her tears were too precious to waste on people like Alex, Nicole, and Savana.But Aur
"Darling, are you really kicking me out?"Nicole hung her head weakly. Let alone enjoying their first night as newlyweds, her status as a legitimate wife was about to disappear soon.Today was supposed to be a happy day. Everything was ruined instantly because of Aurora and Asher's actions."From now on, I'm divorcing you. Tomorrow, I'll take care of our divorce. So, please take all your belongings and leave. I don't want to see your face anymore!"Alex looked furious. Consumed by anger, he ordered Nicole to leave his mother's residence immediately.Moreover, what was the point of Alex holding onto Nicole? It was clear that he had been betrayed. Besides, the baby in her belly wasn't even his flesh and blood. So why should he persist, let alone take responsibility? It was a waste of time."But, Alex. I'm pregnant. Don't you have any pity for me?"Alex stared intently at Nicole, who was now sitting on the floor. She seemed to be trying to persuade Alex to reconsider his decision to kick
Reluctantly, after being openly driven out, verbally abused, and treated like trash, tonight Nicole was forced to return to her apartment.Ironically, after being arrogant, refusing even to act as though they were willing to acknowledge each other, Nicole ultimately left by accompanying Bastian.Upon reaching the apartment, the man responsibly helped carry the suitcase and some other belongings. Despite his reluctance, he insisted on buying food so that Nicole could sleep on a full stomach tonight.Bastian did this deliberately. Aware that Nicole was pregnant with his child, he didn't want their unborn baby to become a victim of the ongoing issues."No need to seek attention!"Nicole, sitting on the living room sofa, immediately sneered. She glanced at Bastian, who had just brought her a cold drink."I'm not seeking attention," Bastian replied casually. He continued arranging the food he had bought on the dining table."Then what do you call this if not seeking attention?""No need fo
