A Little Bit of Joy

Once The Foolish Wife, Now His Eternal Obsession

Calla Rhodes

For three years, Cathryn and her husband Liam lived in a sexless marriage. She believed Liam buried himself in work for their future. But on the day her mother died, she learned the truth: he had been cheating with her stepsister since their wedding night. She dropped every hope and filed for divorce. Sneers followed-she'd crawl back, they said. Instead, they saw Liam on his knees in the rain. When a reporter asked about a reunion, she shrugged. "He has no self-respect, just clings to people who don't love him." A powerful tycoon wrapped an arm around her. "Anyone coveting my wife answers to me."

seated in his room he was perfecting one of his recent songs he just wrote.

"what do you want" he asked grumpily

"ump sir, dinner is ready"the maid said from outside Adriel's room

"And so?? he asked again

"you should come outside for dinner sir" she replied humbly and calmly

"what" Adriel half yelled opening the door to face the maid properly,

"did you just command me??? adriel asked with raised brows

"N.....no s.....sir i dare not" the maid replied stuttering and shivering in fright ,

"But I feel you just commanded me'" adriel replied with his head tilted to the left

" No sir I didn't " the maid tried justifying herself but Adriel was so bent on frustrating her.
