Poor and struggling, Bernice tried to get her feet in the world by doing menial jobs to survive. But then the man she truly loved broke her heart by spending her hard-earned money and sleeping with her best friend. She will be forced to accept a billionaire's proposal and when she sets her eyes on him and realizes he is her ex-boyfriend's uncle, revenge will be brewing hot.

Chapter 1 The hurt

"What is happening here?" she asked in a very low voice which was barely above a whisper.

Bernice's eyes darted from left to right then she began to shake from so much pain, the betrayal she felt was second to none,it cut through her like a very hot knife.

Hot tears spring from her eyes as she watches the scene before her.

This was unbelievable. Never in a million years will she believe that Ethan will do something like this to her.

She could have forgiven him right here and now if only he had done it with someone else then it might be better but it was with nobody but her best friend Olivia.

The shock was still plastered on her face as more tears streamed down her eyes.

He was the same person who had called her just a few hours ago that he had running temperature and he needed some money for drugs but here he was groaning and moaning with her best friend beneath him,both of them entangled in ceaseless ecstasy.

And to even think that she had turned down a marriage proposal from Italy's popular billionaire CEO because she thought the love they both shared was strong and genuine.

She began to step back a little as their moans grew louder driving her crazy ,she missed her footing and stepped on a crushed piece of paper and that was when both of them realized she had been in the room all this while watching them.

They immediately disengaged and the shock which was plastered on Ethan's face was enough to win a Grammy award.

"Bernice." He stuttered trying to cover his nakedness ,they both fumbled for the blanket .

Olivia was chewing gum and she pretended not to see Bernice trying to avoid her, and she finger combed her disheveled hair.

"We....I ... didn't know when you came back ." he said stupidly ." Why didn't you knock?"

She stared at him stunned and felt like reaching over to strangle him.

"Is this what you are supposed to say?"

"I thought you said you were running temperature ."she heard herself and bit down on her lower lips so hard that it brought out blood.

"I even came with the money for your meds." Then she shook her head trying to pull herself together.

"Why ? Ethan why?"She cried as her heart tightened breaking into thousands of irreplaceable pieces.

And to think she left her job at the restaurant just to come and see him .

To see this nonsense.

"I can explain." She heard him saying again as he tried to sit up properly.

"Ethan,you have been cheating on me with my best friend and all this while I thought that we were in love."She said her voice breaking.Ethan our wedding is in two weeks time."

She reminded him and began to weep .

"How could you, how could you do this to me?I thought you loved me?"

He looked sheepishly.

"I do,but please I beg you just forgive me."

"Forgive?" She chuckled bitterly

"You even have the nerve to sleep with her on my bed."

Ethan was her life, everything she thought she had found in a man, all his excesses and bad behavior, she had overlooked because she thought her love was enough for both of them.

But then she had died a thousand deaths when she saw this.

"Why would you do this to me?" she said again

He quickly wore his trousers and tried to approach her.

"Don't touch me."she warned him.

"Aww,come on ." he raised his hands in exasperation ." I have already apologized. What else do you want me to do? give you the statue of liberty?"

She stared at him in shock, her eyes dancing with fresh tears .

"Is this what you are saying?" She asked, her voice cracking with sobs.

As if that wasn't enough he continued."You should have given me a call that you will be arriving soon. "

While she was still trying to put herself together she heard a beep from her phone and she glanced at it and the message on the phone almost made her lose consciousness.

It was a message from her landlord.

Using the back of her palm, she wiped her tears. She was going to bring up the subject later but for now she needed to pay her house rent and also her tuition fees.

"Can I have the money I gave you two weeks ago?"

Ethan and Olivia exchanged funny glances and it seemed they wanted to laugh all this while Olivia said nothing as she was still sitting on the bed chewing the gum.

"I don't have it now," Ethan said.

"I don't understand what you mean," she said in a small voice. "That money is for the house rent and my tuition fees. What did you do with it ?"

"Can I just have a moment of Peace? He yelled, stamping his feet ."Just because of this little mistake, you're already reminding me of past debts."

Her eyes widened still trying to process what was happening ."Do you call this little? Ethan we are supposed to get married."

"Oh please." Olivia said for the first time ." Who do you think you are? The college sweetheart?

*look he is mine so back off, she moved closer and dropped a kiss on the side of his neck while she watched on.

"So why are you still standing staring at us? You should get moving. He was mine first and we had been dating for six months but you had your head buried in your books to notice." Then Olivia approached her still hugging the sheets around her curvy frame.

"You are nothing but a twerp, a poverty-stricken fool ." She said, jabbing her fingers in Bernice's chest ." You are so worthless and...."

Without waiting for another heartbreaking word, Bernice turned around and ran out of the room running down the stairs with tears flooding down her cheeks.

She had to do it now, she could be betrayed and hurt but she wouldn't be overcome by life troubles.

She scrolled down her phone and went through call logs to the unknown number that called her two weeks ago.

It was now or never.

On the second ring, a voice came on the other end.

"Am I speaking to the P.A."

A slight pause.

"Tell Mr Fernandez that I have accepted his proposal."

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What's worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn't thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn't seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he's different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
