Chapter One ~ A Warm Welcome
Brielle loved her job, as she was a waitress and cashier for a small cafe, Tea O'Clock. Not only did she do it for the money, she loved meeting new people and finding out more about personalities. It was just her thing. But she had one particular person in her mind, Lennox.
"Hey Bri!" Lennox acknowledged, as he walked in. Lennox was one of Brielle's, or Bri, as he would call her, regulars.
"Ah! Hey Len! Just the regular today?" The talkative female asked. Brielle knew almost everything about Lennox, I mean, why wouldn't she? He was one of the most supportive people that she had ever met.
"Oh, is it okay if I try your hot chrysanthemum tea today?" Lennox replied, with a tint of shyness in his voice, "A friend recommended it to me, apparently some people really like it."
Brielle smiled, remembering that he hated to try new things, "Of course! Anything else or will that be all?"
"Ah, yeah that would be it!" Lennox grinned back at Brielle, before speaking again, "Oh by the way, your shift ends in about 5 or 10 minutes, correct?"
"Huh? Uh, yeah! W- Um, why do you ask?" Brielle stuttered, feeling her cheeks flushing a tint of rose. She stood there, wondering how he even remembered that, she told him that 2 months ago.
"Perfect! When you're off, join me! I've been needing so many new book recommendations! Oh! And here, keep the change!" The tanned haired male declared, handing the flushed girl a $5 bill, walking away right after.
Lennox looked up from his novel, "Thanks Bri! It smells really nice and fresh!" Brielle watched as Lennox poured the tea into the cup he was given, how could he pour it so gracefully? Lennox snapped as Brielle's brain broke out from her thoughts, "Oh, there you are! You should take off your apron and come sit with me! Your shift is about over, correct?"
"Ah! You're right!" The toffee haired girl bounced, "Be right back, you can enjoy the tea first!" Brielle instructed him as she trotted away. Brielle felt as if she was a walking tomato, she touched her face, as she spotted her manager, Leonard, or Leon.
"Oh, there you are, Brielle." Leon waved as she walked towards him, "I know that your shift ends right now, but is it okay if you bring over the boxes to the coffee station? I'm a little uhm, busy at the moment..."
"Yes, I can see that you are a little busy at the moment," Brielle laughed, looking at one of her co-workers tying Leon's hair up into pigtails, "But sure, I'll go!"
Not many people knew it, but Brielle was actually quite fit and athletic. She had a huge dream of becoming a badminton player.
"Mr. Evans, please maintain some dignity. Don't forget I'm your brother's wife!" Having caught her husband and best friend together in the bed, Elena wanted nothing more than to exact revenge on the people she once called family. She refused to be a pitiful divorcee and vowed to make everyone who had once looked down on her beg for forgiveness. And to start with her newfound freedom, Elena indulges in a one-night stand with a stranger. However, what was meant to be a fleeting escape turns into a nightmare when she learns that the stranger is none other than her husband's older brother! Would Elena be free from the shackles of her marriage? Or would the mysterious stranger make her life a living hell since he seemed to have a personal vendetta against his family?

He helped her take retribution from her tormentors and kept her from being bullied again.
Belinda thought after divorce, they would part ways for good - he could live his life on his own terms, while she could indulge in the rest of hers. However, fate had other plans in store. "My darling, I was wrong. Would you please come back to me?" The man, whom she once loved deeply, lowered his once proud head humbly. "I beg you to return to me." Belinda coldly pushed away the bouquet of flowers he had offered her and coolly replied, "It's too late. The bridge has been burned, and the ashes have long since scattered to the wind!"
