Chapter 1 CHEAP WOMAN
" I absolutely love the cover of this book! You have no idea how grateful I am for your service," Selene muttered, admiring the freshly printed copies of her latest book.
"Thank you, ma'am," one of the workers replied, continuing to package the books with their team.
As Selene watched the hustle and bustle of the publishing house, her phone rang. Without checking who was calling, she answered.
"Selene, I need you right now. Meet me at Atlantis restaurant," Sia's voice came through, sounding urgent.
Selene raised an eyebrow. "Am I safe, though?"
"You are for now, but how safe you'll be in the future depends on how quickly you get here," Sia replied. Selene chuckled at the seriousness in her tone.
"On my way!" she said, standing up from her chair and stylishly walking out of the publishing house. The workers were too focused on their tasks to notice her leaving.
Not long after, she arrived at the restaurant and heard her phone ring again.
"I'm at the front of the restaurant," she said, parking her car in the garage and walking down.
When she reached the entrance, she spotted Sia waving at her.
Smiling, Selene walked over to the table where her manager was sitting and took a seat beside her. "You sounded really urgent on the phone," she said.
"Yes, I did. Look at this photo I took," Sia said, handing her phone to Selene.
As Selene scrolled through the pictures and videos, her heart sank. She froze in shock, realizing she was looking at her fiancé cheating on her with another woman.
"How did you get this?" she asked Sia, her voice trembling.
"I saw him with a woman not long ago and decided to follow him. I've always suspected he was like this, but you wouldn't have believed me without proof," Sia explained. Selene nodded, feeling a mix of gratitude and heartbreak.
"Thank you, Sia. I need to go now," she said, standing up and leaving before Sia could stop her.
Selene drove quickly, her mind racing with memories of Thomas assuring her of his love. Suddenly, she pulled over to the side of the road and texted Sia. "Send me those videos." Within a minute, they appeared in her phone's storage.
Taking a deep breath, she continued her drive and soon arrived at Thomas's house.
Using the spare key she had, she opened the door and stepped into the living room, hoping to find someone else there. But it was just Thomas, sitting on the couch with his laptop.
"Hey babe!" he greeted, looking up. But as he noticed her tense expression, he sensed something was off.
"Who are you looking for?" he asked.
"Who is she, Thomas? Don't pretend you're innocent. I have proof that you're cheating on me," she said, standing her ground.
"What do you mean?" he replied, feigning confusion.
"Are you really asking me that? You know exactly what I mean!" she shot back.
"When did you start talking about cheating, Selene?" he asked, still focused on his laptop.
"You're my fiancé! We need to talk about this!" she exclaimed.
"I think you're being crazy," he said dismissively.
Selene felt a wave of disbelief wash over her. "Excuse me? What do you mean?"
"I'm busy, and I don't want to deal with your childish drama today. Didn't you say you were at the publishing house? Why are you here questioning my love for you?" he replied, irritation creeping into his voice.
Did he just say she was questioning his love for her? She thought. She looked into his eyes and tried to read him deeply but just couldn't. Was this all he could offer her? He looked indifferent as though he hadn't done anything wrong. Selene couldn't take it in anymore. "Please stop pretending to love me right now. If you truly loved me, you wouldn't be cheating on me with some cheap woman," she said, her voice breaking.
"Cheap woman?" Thomas smirked, clearly unfazed.
"I have proof! Look, Thomas. How could you do this to me?" she said, tears welling in her eyes as she showed him the videos and pictures.
At first, Thomas was shocked, but he quickly regained his composure. He didn't think he had done anything wrong. Who had sent her those images? Anger began to bubble inside him. Was she monitoring him now? If she had been better, maybe they would not be having this conversation.
"This is what I get for supporting you all the time. What does she give you that I can't? Nothing, Thomas, absolutely nothing!" she cried.
"Who said it's nothing?" he shot back. Was that what she thought? She must be feeling so highly of herself to think she was that it.
"You don't even feel sorry! Is this what I get?" she sobbed.
Seeing her tears, Thomas felt a tinge of guilt but quickly hardened his heart. "You should have focused on being my fiancé instead of following me around. I'm not denying that you're great, but it doesn't change the fact that you can't give me what I want," he said coldly.
"What do you want? What do you mean, Thomas?" she asked, her voice trembling.
As he looked at her tear-streaked face, he realized he had no feelings left for Selene. He stood up and walked her, while she stood there, heartbroken. "You can't give me what I want." He spat giving a disgusted expression
