For three years, she had never been able to see her husband who left the Aisle without showing his face. She kept waiting for his return home, despite everything. Her mother-in-law treated her like a slave until he returned. The day she thought she would be happy to see her husband who she has been waiting for three years, he appeared along with his first lover and declared that he only loves his girlfriend. Three years of their marriage broke within three days, she left, stepping onto his prestige. After three years, in a business meeting, she appeared as the biggest shareholder of his Enemy company. His Ex-Wife Is Now A Big Shot.
The dark brown hair swiftly caresses her face, getting attached to the slightly red skin because of sweat. Her exhausted eyes keep monitoring the foods which are letting a flavorful aroma of seasoning. Today, she is going to meet her husband, a Billionaire who has been away from her since the day she said, " I do!"
Gwen Stacy is the obedient wife of a billionaire Businessman who has said goodbye before saying " I do", signing the marriage paper and getting no chance to look at his wife or let his wife see.
When she vowed to love her husband, she thought her life would be like a fairytale-like all middle-class family girls wish to have. Getting a husband who is many
women's heartthrob. A family where she doesn't have to worry about money neither a world where she has to face poverty...
However, Those thoughts were well-wishes and fantasies. In reality, she was never able to meet
her husband neither she even had the experience of being a wife in front of her husband.
Right now, After three years of waiting,
Her husband is finally coming back home today. She's pretty busy preparing the favourite dishes of her husband. After staying here for three years without any break, her mother-in-law made her memorize the list of their favourite things that she must have followed as the Daughter-in-law of the Rich family.
"I have told you to cook all the dishes right before it's 1:00 pm. Now it's already 12:45 pm. Do you think you can finish everything within fifteen minutes?"
A rude voice echoes the walls of the kitchen as the sound of high heels approaches her from a distance. Hearing the voice she can recognize, that her mother-in-law is coming here.
Gwen chewed her bottom lip with nervousness. Her fingers shake as she grabs the freshly baked cherry pie.
Her mother-in-law's daily routine is yelling from the balcony while enjoying her own time. She doesn't
even allow the Servants to help her with a single task. She has to do everything by herself and without any flaws. So having her around right now is nothing but something strong choking her to death.
"Sorry, Mom I had to handle everything alone and -"
She can't even complete her words as her mother raises her voice with her hand which lands on her sweaty face.
"Are you giving me an excuse? I still think my son never deserves such an idiot girl like you. Why did l ever go to my parents' house and let my husband do
whatever he wants.Tsk!"
Frustrated, she stops standing for another second since the kitchen is getting hotter because of nonstop cooking since morning. Her long silk gown which flawlessly kisses her body, looks dazzling and beautiful in the light. But her character, the inside is filled with ugly poison.
Gwen's gaze falls upon the boiling oil which is bubbling up. Her eyes shake with painful tears as her hand reaches her face. Sometimes her heart wants to escape from this world. If only she didn't have
promised her father-in-law.
Two years ago, The unexpected marriage happened when she met her father-in-law in a park unconscious.
She out of kindness took care of him as she used to take care of her sick father.
Did she ever think that her actions would bring her something unexpected? She was asked and
promised to marry his son. Because he believed that she would be the perfect wife for his son.
But Three years have passed, and she hasn't even seen him once.
"Make sure. You finish them."
Her mother-in-law shouts from the dining room, grabbing her favourite snack to dig in. In this house, only her mother-in-law is allowed to walk freely. Gwen has to finish her work silently without any word spoken.
Gwen nods silently. She doesn't have anything to say. Since she got married, she wasn't sure who she talked to. Her father, her only family has betrayed her before she could able to question, " Why?" Her mother is long lost, she said Hello to God for long time ago. So, in this world, all she has is her husband who doesn't call her or talk to her. She doesn't even know if her husband is a good person or a bad person. All she knows, she isn't allowed to question about her husband.
A hopeless sigh escapes from her wishing to have a good time with her husband who never showed up before her. Maybe he will change her entire fate. She doesn't complain about the suffering. All she wants is to get the love and get the treatment as a human, as a daughter-in-law.
As she is lost in her deep thoughts, A sudden palpitation starts hitting her heart as if she will run out of breath anytime when her mother-in-law exclaims " My Son is here!"
They know who it is as the doorbell rings. In this house, Only she and her mother-in-law live. Her father-in-law passed away last year. Except for some servants, no one visits without any prior notification.
" My Sweetheart! How are you? Mom was missing you so much!"
A towering figure appears as the door is open. With a soft and genuine smile, he wishes Good Noon to his mother who is desperately hugging her only son.
Derek Nicole, 27 years old handsome boy is a workaholic CEO of Nicole Entertainment Company Limited. One of the best companies that rules the entertainment world.
With a god-gifted handsomeness, he can attract women without any single attempt. The 6' 2" tall with a ripped body, Derek undeniably stands for his breathtaking appearance.
After three years of spending time outside of the country for business, he finally returned home.
" How are you, Mom? You look beautiful today!" Derek grins hugging back to his dearest mother. At his father's funeral, he was unable to return and wasn't here to support her. He feels guilty for everything.
"I am fine. Don't flatter your mother." Mrs. Nicole laughs, blushing at her only son's comment.
Meanwhile...
Gwen's eyes are desperate to see the water flowing on her hands as fast as possible to wash her hands. Tearing a pile of napkins from the napkin holder, she walks towards the kitchen door and slightly peeps into the hall room to see her husband for the first time.
Her black orbs glisten, and eyelids part away to express more as her eyes catch his six-foot-tall figure, thick eyebrows and well-defined arms, which are caged with his well-tailored fitted shirt. A hiccup escapes making her embarrassed as she keeps staring at the Man who is her husband.
"So handsome!" She whispers resting her exhausted body against the edge of the wall. Her eyes are thanking God after being blessed with such a good looking husband. He will definitely be a perfect husband for her, this excites her exhausted soul which is desperate to get love.
However, Her pupils shrieked, finding a beautiful girl entering the room and wrapping her hand around his arm. A gentle smile appears on her husband's face as he watches the girl walking forward confidently.
"Hello. Auntie. It's been a while" The girl smiles hugging Mrs Nicole.
" Anusha. Is that you? I can't believe that you have returned. My Moon who brightens up my house!"
Exclaiming, her hand reaches Anusha Suzanne's back to stroke gently. Her eyes are full of expectations for a certain future which she can only imagine.
Gwen who is kinda confused about the girl's identity, frowns. They seem to know each other. But she never talked about having another daughter or someone relative.
But Anusha Suzanne, the girl who is creating thousands of questions in her mind, ends those popping out questions with her sentences.
"Your son has never wanted to let me go. He found me. even though I wanted to run away. That's why I couldn't stop myself from coming back. My love is true for him and it's hard to ignore him, Aunt!" She blushes, looking at Derek who is proud of his girlfriend's words.
"| can never let you go!" he declares.
In the midst of everything, they have forgotten there is someone who has been waiting for three years to meet her dearest husband. Gwen's gaze reflects the light, tears around her eyes are struggling to shed. Her soft and fragile heart crumples with inner storms.
" Young Mistress! The cake is ready."
Everyone's attention goes to Gwen who startles when a servant speaks and calls her name out. Derek who is standing with his girlfriend, looks at her, seeing her agitating on the spot.
" Sorry, I forgot about it." She speaks calmly, heading inside.
" Who is this beautiful lady?" Anusha asks,
" Nobody! She is the servant of our family. Don't worry about it, My sweet girl!"
Mrs. Nicole grits her teeth, glaring at Gwen who dared to walk out without her permission.
