“What is she doing here? I don’t want her here! Make her leave!” I yelled in annoyance upon entering our house. I dropped all my shopping bags on the floor and walked towards the living room, where my husband and his first love were sitting. 

I crossed my arms in front of my chest before standing in front of him, fuming in madness. How dare he bring that woman inside our marital house? 

“Dylan, will you please lower your voice? You don’t need to shout. We can hear you perfectly fine,” said my husband; Beckett. “I asked them to stay here.” 

“Them?” That’s when I fully noticed the child beside her, who seems to be around two years old. 

“Sarah and her child need a place to stay in the meantime,” he said. 

“So? How is that my problem?” 

“They’re going to stay here with us, so I expected you to be more considerate towards them. I don’t want any of your bratty attitude; am I understood?” His voice was filled with authority.” 

I scoff, “You can’t be serious. Please tell me you’re joking.” 

“I don’t fool around, Dylan. I’m dead serious, and I expect your full cooperation,” he ordered. 

I sneer, “Not going to happen.” 

“That’s not up for discussion. I’m not asking for your permission; I’m merely informing you of my decision.” He ended our conversation with those words. “Let’s go, Sarah,” he said as he helped Sarah with her things as she held the baby in her arms. 

Sarah and Beckett were once lovers. I met him first, but he fell in love with my best friend, Sarah. I’m the type of girl who always gets what she wants. And that’s what I did: I trapped Becket into marrying me despite knowing that he’s in love with Sarah. 

That time, it really didn’t matter. I’m beautiful and rich, so I’m sure, in time, Beckett will fall in love with me during our marriage if I just become an attentive, compassionate, and caring wife. 

Our parents were business partners. During those times, Beckett was starting to take over their business. I used my influence over my parents to convince them to force Beckett into marrying me. My parents would do anything for me, and as I expected, they offered Beckett’s family a business venture that involved marrying us together. 

Beckett was starting to make a name for himself during those times, and I know that he wouldn’t let that opportunity pass. His parents accepted our offers, and one led to another. Since then, Beckett has become one of the most successful businessmen in the country. 

And I thought that in the past few years that we’ve been together, I would successfully manage to earn his love, but obviously I failed.

I tried so hard to make this marriage work. I will not just let Sarah take away the life I’ve been working on so 

hard. 

I followed them upstairs. Beckett brought Sarah to the guest room
