Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

“Congratulations, Aurora. Today you’ve officially acquired a new status.”

In Rayyen’s workspace, Aurora appeared visibly happy as she received the documents just handed to her by her cousin. Starting today, from this moment forward, she was officially divorced and held the status of a widow.

Aurora knew this wasn’t an achievement to boast about. In fact, some people out there regarded being a widow as a disgrace that would subject someone to judgmental looks.

However, Aurora wouldn’t let that happen. No matter who it was, nobody had the right to demean her. And most importantly, after this divorce, she could finally break free from the Toxic family that had weighed her down.

“Thank you so much, Ray. Thanks to your help, my divorce process could finally be completed quickly. And now, I can truly be free from Alex and his family.”

Rayyen could see the sparkle in those brown eyes filled with happiness. Aurora was relishing the euphoria of freedom that she had patiently awaited for so long.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

For Rayyen, Aurora deserved all of this. After enduring so many lies, betrayals, and humiliations, it was time for Aurora to rise and start a much better life.

“No need to thank me. I’m happy to help you get through all of this. After all, it’s my duty as your lawyer, Aurora.”

“Yes,” Aurora nodded. “Now, we just have to wait for Alex, Nicole, and Savana to receive their special gifts.”

Rayyen could see the meaningful smile etched on Aurora’s face. He knew well that Aurora and Asher had been planning something big meticulously for a long time.

“Why not give them their gifts now?”

“Why are you suddenly so impatient?”

Rayyen laughed heartily. For whatever reason, he was also eagerly anticipating the moments when Aurora would retaliate against her ex-husband, mother-in-law, and despicable cousin.

“Do you know what? Among all the targets, I’m most curious about Alex’s mom’s reaction.”

Aurora’s brow reflexively furrowed. Of all the people, why was Rayyen curious about Savana’s reaction? Did they share the same feelings and thoughts?

“Alex’s mom? Why are you curious about her?”

Rayyen folded his arms across his chest. Sitting back more relaxed, he explained his reason to Aurora.

“Because out of everyone, she’s the most wicked and heartless. I distinctly remember Aurora telling me about Savana’s confession, how she deliberately asked Nicole to seduce Alex to turn him away from Aurora. I feel like this action is unforgivable.”

Just imagine, a mother intentionally leading her son into sin. Supporting, even contributing to making her son a denizen of hell.

“For whatever reason, I’m just curious about how Mrs. Savana will react when she finds out that Nicole isn’t the woman she thought she was.”

“We’ll see, Ray. I’m afraid Mrs. Savana won’t accept reality and suddenly have a heart attack.”

Aurora spoke up again. Compared to Rayyen, she was also impatient and extremely curious to see Savana’s reaction.

Considered the ideal prospective daughter-in-law who could provide offspring, deemed prettier, and even better at serving Alex, Aurora was only worried that Savana might suffer a heart attack or a stroke upon learning the true nature of Nicole.

“In that case, you should be prepared and have an ambulance ready.”

Aurora smiled thinly. “That’s a good suggestion. Let’s both see if Mrs. Savana can still be arrogant when faced with many facts about the behavior of her beloved daughter-in-law.”

Meanwhile, in the evening, with a pout, Nicole seemed busy packing her belongings into a suitcase. After hearing from Alex that he had officially divorced Aurora, Alex decided to leave the house and take Nicole to live with his mother.

However, Nicole had hoped Alex would stay and, if necessary, demand Aurora’s luxurious house as part of the property to be divided. But, whether out of guilt or pride, the fact remained that Alex seemed reluctant to stay there any longer.

“But this house is also your house, Honey. Why do we have to leave? I’m already comfortable living here.”

Alex sighed softly. Tired of giving the same answer to Nicole. “I’ve told you many times, this house belongs to Aurora long before she married me. So, we have no right to stay here.”

Nicole’s face grew even more sullen hearing Alex’s seemingly uncompromising response. She had tried to provoke him. But, the result was still nothing. Alex was steadfast in his stance.

“So, we’re staying at Mama Savana’s house?”

“Yes,” Alex replied casually after making sure all his clothes were neatly stored in the suitcase. “If you don’t want to, you can stay temporarily in your apartment.”

“No.” Nicole immediately refused. It wasn’t fair that she was asked to stay alone. Quickly, Nicole approached Alex, then hugged his arm affectionately. “I want to go wherever you go, Alex. But, at Mama Savana’s house, can we sleep together, right? Besides, we’ll be officially married in a few days.”

Previously, Alex would never have refused, let alone missed any opportunity to spend time alone with Nicole. But, once again, since their relationship was exposed, Alex himself didn’t understand why he seemed to lose interest in Nicole, who had become fuller and even sexier since becoming pregnant.

“There are many empty rooms at Mama’s house, you can choose where to sleep.”

“But I want to sleep with you.” Nicole insisted. She thought, what’s the point of living together but not sleeping in the same room? “It’s better if we sleep in the same room. In case it’s cold or we want to have fun, you won’t have to leave the room to find me.”

Hearing Nicole’s rambling, Alex could only sigh deeply. Instead of responding, he chose to remain silent and then rose to get ready to leave.

When everything was neatly arranged, Alex then asked Nicole to come down to the first floor. Just before they left, Aurora appeared, who had just returned from the hospital.

“Both of you ready to leave?”

Aurora’s question was clearly just small talk. From the beginning, she had been waiting for this moment of parting.

Then Aurora smiled as she saw Alex and Nicole carrying a large suitcase, clearly preparing to leave for the car.

“Yeah. Nicole and I are leaving. Thanks for the hospitality over the past few days,” Alex replied. From his tone and expression, it was evident that he seemed reluctant to leave the luxurious house he had shared with Aurora for the past two years.

If only Alex hadn’t made the mistake of being seduced by Nicole’s persuasion, perhaps their marriage would still be peaceful and harmonious.

“Well then, be careful on the road. No need to rush. After all, you’re carrying a pregnant woman. We don’t want anything bad to happen,” Aurora said, her words clearly aimed at Nicole.

Nicole immediately pursed her lips. She knew Aurora was being sarcastic.

“No need to act concerned,” she retorted.

“Nicole…” Alex interjected. He shook his head, indicating to Nicole not to argue. Then he turned back to Aurora, bid farewell, and prepared to leave for real. “Thanks for the reminder. In that case, I’ll take my leave. I’ve left my resignation letter from Lumire in the office. I’ve also left some car keys in their usual place. Once again, thank you very much.”

Aurora watched Alex and Nicole’s departure. Now, she just had to think of the best way to deliver the special gifts to her ex-husband and cousin.
