Chapter 62: You want a big fat chèque of alimony. In the city of B (Boston), the crowd of over two hundred grew wide as the blonde bombshell triple-threat artist took to the stage, singing and dancing to her catchy tunes. Amongst the crowd in the first row, wearing a baseball cap and a fan art t-shirt of the artist to blend in, Trixson inquired, trying so little to hide her irritation. "Why did you ask me to meet you at a Taylor Swift concert?" "I like her music. She is going to sing 'midnights' next," April answered cheerfully, moving her hips and arms sideways to the edgy beat of the song. "Uh...we need to talk somewhere...less loud," Trixson had to scream the words out to ensure April, who was so engrossed, could hear her. Trix hated live music. She could never believe that these musicians could sing so smoothly without actually lip-syncing. She would say, "Singing and dancing without panting for air or looking tired for three hours straight? I don't think s

Chapter 64: I get overwhelmed by the idea of you "April, you either apologize to my wife, or you leave my house!" Aiden's voice thundered through the room. "Why should I apologize when I am not in the wrong? This is injustice," April retorted defiantly. From her tone, one could think she was actually wronged here. "April!" Aiden's voice grew sterner. "Aiden, it's fine if your sister doesn't want to apologize for humiliating me in public and creating a gap between us. It's fine. I'll be fine," Elsie interjected calmly. 'This little witch,'April thought to herself, 'She's deliberately angering my brother. Elsie is so pretentious.' "Brother, I..." April's voice faltered. The mere thought of apologizing to Elsie who was of a lower class, sounded absurd and down right humiliating. She needed to swallow her pride and gain courage. In an instant, Aiden's temper took over. He pointed brusquely at the exit, instructing, "April, leave my house. Now." "What?"

    Chapter 66: You are only a pawn.     In another city, Trixson slumped into a chair which had her name on the back. She blew out a sigh of exhaustion, her body weak like a pressed marshmallow.     "Trix, have some water," the muscular Boris handed over a Fiji bottled water. He had a complex look on his face which hid the sympathy he held for his beloved at the moment.     Receiving the water, Trix straightened out her arms and twisted her neck in a stretch. She smiled at him, gulping almost one quarter of the bottle's contents. It felt useless because she wanted vodka in its place.     However, her good girl reputation wouldn't allow her to drink alcohol in the presence of Boris or anyone at all. She couldn't help but imagine the cool bottle of Rosé she had hidden un

Chapter 68: Another day At this moment, Aiden came in. He took a double take on April, panic flashed in her eyes when their gaze met. She quickly dropped the jacket on the couch and stood up. Her cerulean blue-colored phoenix eyes darted to meet his grey-colored ones. "Hi, brother," she waved at him, smiling brightly. Even though she acted like he hadn't caught her doing something inappropriate by sniffing his jacket, she played it cool. Toying with her fingers behind her back, a behavior he had told her many times made her look cute. "What were you doing?" he inquired, skepticism evident in his tone. "Sniffing your jacket," she said blandly. April's gaze darted to the jacket once more. "What is the name of the perfume?" Her question was received with a raised brow. She understood it was not like her to act in such a way. She had to think fast. "Back when I was in school, I was dating this guy who was a cognoscenti. We played this game where he would sn

Chapter 70: I'm planning to stay there Before Elsie could answer that question, Aiden's phone rang. It did not take a soothsayer for Elsie to guess who was on the other line. It was April calling. He had saved her contact as 'Silly Girl'. There was no good reason Elsie could think of that would make April call except to ruin their evening. She glanced back at Aiden, who was about to pick up his phone, but she beat him to it. She calmly answered and placed it on her ear. "Brother, I need you," the familiar voice cried in between sobs. But Elsie knew better than to fall for April's cheap tricks. "What happened?" "Elsie, how dare you answer my brother's calls," April raged in anger on the other line. If she were present with Elsie, she would have clawed out her eyes. However, Elsie kept calm. She needed Aiden here and wouldn't allow him to leave, especially when it had something to do with his two-faced sister. Hence, she replied softly, "Why, yes. I am hi
