Reborn as His Ms. Right Chapter 1 The Young Woman Alton City’s streets were bustling with cars and pedestrians. I’d already been seated at a coffee house called “Serendipity” for two hours. My table was near a corner and facing the counter. A young woman in a sky–blue apron bustled behind it, making various drinks for customers. She was about five feet and three inches tall and couldn’t weigh more than go pounds. She was slender and had a smile at the ready. Het thick, glossy bait was tied up in a high ponytail, and her eyes curved into half–moons when she smiled. She looked charming “Should I make you another cup, miss?” She approached me and smiled brightly at me. Oh, how rude of me to have stared at her. Fortunately, was also a woman. Otherwise, she would’ve thought of me as a pervert or freak. I smiled politely and said, “Yes, please I’ll have another black coffee Soon, the young women brought me another cup of black and bitter coffee. Instead of leaving after putting down the cup, she hesitated and said, “You’ve already had two cups of “They might help to wake you up, but they’re not good for you if you have too much. How about you come back for more some other day?” She was kind and outgoing. Her voice was lilting and melodions. I looked at the coffee on the table before grabbing my bag and standing up. “Alright, then Could I have the bill, please? The young woman was pleased that I’d taken her advice. cath or credit?” ran off to the counter to get my bill and told me, “You’ve spent a total of 87 dollars, miss. Would you like to pay by 1ted the coffee house after silently paying the bill when my driver, Lee Jackson, saw me, he nodded respectully and opened the car door. ” “Head home. ” I smiled faintly at him. As the car started moving, I shut my eyes and rested in the backseat. I couldn’t help thinking about the young woman in Serendipity–she was lively and vivacious. Was she the one? The one who would make Rowan Faye severes with his family and do everything in his power to divorce me in a year’s tim Honestly, I didn’t expect this to be the first thing I’d do after being reborn. I’d gone all the way to this special young woman’s workplace and observed her every move like a freak I was just too curious to know more about the woman who’d taken away the man I’d loved for a decade. In my previous, I’d never even met her. All I had other was a name and some photos. Rowan had protected her like she was aprecious trees. I’d lost everything and suffered aborible deleat, yet my opponent hadn’t even shown her face before me. She was young, beautiful, innocent, kind, and outgoing Any of these adjectives were perfect for describing her. The only weakness she had was that she didn’t come from a poweral family. She and Rowan were from two different worlds. Lee suddenly said, “Mrs. Rajme, today’s your wedding anniversary with Mr. ” I slowly opened my eyes. For a moment, I felt lost He was right. This was the fifth year of my marriage to Rowan. Every year, on this day, I would be busy preparing a candlelit dinner and an anniversary gift. This year, I was 27, and he was 20 “I knew. “I rubbed my temples, which throbbed a little “You don’t need to remind me. ” Lee had probably spoken up because he’d noticed that was acting differently this year But why did I always have to be the one giving? Why did I have to fall in line with Howan? in my previous lite, on my deathbed, these questions had plagued me. I’d given up verything for Bowie, leading to the demise of my family and myself. While I was deep in my neverie, the car pulled up at the entrance of our home. It had been a marriage gift from both our parents–an imposing manor with gardens covering more than ten thousand square feet. It had been decorated lavishly. What surprised me was the fact that Rowan’s car was in the driveway, too. He was back. Thad more feelings about this. I’d already died once, and this would be my fint time meeting the person who’d caused my death after being reborn. What would be the right expression to put an? I thought I would hate Rowan to the core. He’d forced his wife of five years into acorner and had taken the lives of his in–laws, who’d treated him well. He’d destroyed my family, and it had all been over a w But now that I could see him, I realized my hatred for him wasn’t that strong. On the contrary, I felt somewhat relieved. In my previous tale, Rowan had given me a chance he’d asked for a mutual separation and would compensate me with Payne Corporation’s stocks. Those would’ve been more than enough for me to live a cushy life, but I’d refused. I hadn’t gotten a sliver of his love despite the decade I’d spent on him, yet another woman had used only a year to enchant him and make him turn his back on everyone in his life, to, I’d used various ways to get him back. One step after another, we’d slowly gone from a mutual separation to severing ties and becoming sworn enemies Now that none of that nonsense had happened, I wanted to change my ending rather than waste time hating Rowan “Why are you just standing there?” Rowan sat in the living room with his legs crossed leisurely. He’d just finished smaking a cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray. Then, he glanced at me, his gaze as indifferent as always. On the day of our wedding, he’d told me bluntly that we were only working together and were nothing more than long–term housemates. He had no feelings for me whatsoever. “No reason. I just didn’t expect you to be at home. ” Thent down to change into some lounge slippers–they were gray and from Hermes. The design was simple, and the color was boring. There wasn’t anything nice about them aside from the fact that they were counter than others. Trecalled the young woman at Serendipity Her apron had a red flower with a smiling face embroidered on it–hers was the only one like that. No one else had that on theirs. In comparison, all my clothes were expense but becing. They were all simple and dull. Suddenly, found myself hating these lounge slippers. I threw them aside and padded 2/2 Chapter 1 The Young Woman barefoot into the living room. Rowan frowned slightly at that, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. “Aren’t you gonna wear your slippers? “Nope. I don’t wanna wear them. “I sat across from him as I answered him plainly. “What a surprise. What’s gotten into you?” He chuckled. It was a rare show of light–heartedness. I couldn’t help thinking that meeting his true love was what had gotten to me. I looked down at my clean feet. They seemed rather malnourished because of how skinny I was But Rowan’s true love, Ashley Bluefield, wasn’t like that. She was slender, but her skin had been bright and supple. I was nothing but skin and bones compared to her, Five years of being trapped in a loveless marriage had resulted in me having several health issues. I’d also lost interest in eating, leading to me losing more and more weight. I looked more like a skeleton with every passing day. “Rowan,” I suddenly said “Hmm?” He didn’t even bother looking up from his phone The black shirt and pants he wore were of good quality, and he had a perfect figure. His handsome face and deep–set f features accentuated his demeanor–it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say countless women had wet dreams of him. I looked away from my feet and up at Rowan. My voice was a little husky as I said, “Let’s get a divorce. ” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Theard him snom, He threw his phone onto the couch and looked at me with a familiar, cold gaze. “What are you up to this time, Ivory Sadler?“ Chapter 1A Long–Overdue Gathering “I’m being serious. ” I sat up straight and looked into Rowan’s domineering eyes. “at’s been five years, and there’s no way you’ll fall for me. We might as well just give each other In a month, a large–scale business forum would be held in Alton City. There, Rowan would meet Ashley, who’d be working there as an usher. He would fall for her at first sight and do anything together. Theirs was a love story meant for the ages, and I sure didn’t want to be part of it. I would only be cannon fodder, anyway I’d already done everything i wanted to do, could do, and should’ve done in my previous life. I also knew the results of my actions, in this life, I wouldn’t allow me to become the butt of people’s jokes anymore. I wouldn’t lead the Sadler family to ru 1 decided to extricate myself from this whole before Rowan and Ashley met each other. I would make the first move on their thorny path to true love Perhaps the look in my eyes was too serious for Rowan to think I was joking. His expression darkened almost immediately. He’d always had a bad semper, and if anyone were to piss himett, he wouldn’t let them offesy “Have I become a plaything now?” He laughed, but his eyes couldn’t be any colder. “You insisted on marrying me five years ago, and now, you want a divorce. Are you fucking playing me, Ivory?” Five years ago, the relationship between the Sadler and Paynefandies had been at its best, Rowan and had been set up at that point. With Rowan’s personality, there was no way he would’ve gone along with the marriage so obediently. The plot twist came when his grandfather, Robert Payne, fell gravely ill and forced him to any me To Rowan, this was humiliating Fortunately, he didn’t have anyone he loved deeply. At the same time, he needed a presentable wife because he was slowly taking over the family business. He’d settled with me for the past five years I smiled bitterly, feeling a little sorry for myself. “Don’t tell me you want to continue being imprisoned in this marriage in “Amarriage in name?” He seemed to consider the meaning behind this. Then, he raised an eyebrow and said mockingly, “I get it now. Are you feeling lonely?** “No, I just_“I passed to think of the correct words But Rowan got up and came to me. He leaned down with his hands on either side of me, forming a circle around me and locking me inside. His voice was alluring as he said, “Why didn’t you call me if you were lonely? You even went untar as to ask for a divover. Are you that desperate for a fuck?” He liked to smoke, so the tent scent on him always had nicotine mingled with it. Of course, he’d never given me the chance to smell on him by hugging me or anything. I’d secretly suilled his coat in the past. Now that his intoxicating scent was around me, I should’ve felt cited and blushed from his proximity. But in truth, I only felt oppressed I was preparing myself to leave, so anything that would sway me win a bad om “It’s not because of that tried to explain. I’d spent so many days and nights alone that I’d long since gotten used to the loneliness. “is that so?” Rown straightened up. He went interested in me, to begin with, so he wouldn’t lose control and have tricked way with me. He’d only teased me flirtatiously earlier to embarrass me. I was a 27–year–old married virgin–resentment and bitterness were the only things I exuded, not charming sensualzy. “I know it’s our wedding anniversary today, Ivory, but I’m not interested in celebrating any of that nonsense If you’re using that as an excuse to ask for a divorce, take my i and save it. ” Rowan stood before me and looked down at me imperiously. His voice was back Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… to being as cold as always. “we’ve never celebrated our wedding anniversary. I wouldn’t need to wait until the year tock up a fuss. ” I stood up as well and tilted my head slightly to look into his eyes. ” Think it over. I don’t think you have much use for me anymore, and you should need freedom more than I do. Don’t you agree?” advice With that, I turned and headed upstairs to my bedroom. I didn’t want to say anything more as headed upstairs, I heard the dear slam shat loudly. Then, a car’s engine revved to life knew Rowan had left, but this fane, I could face it calmly Just then, my phone rang. it was a call from my good friend, Jean Dane *Come out for some, hd We’re at Symphonical” Her loud voice immediately washed away my glumness. She was about the same age as me but had remained single thus far, After marrying Rowan, I’d rarely gone out for fun. I’d burned’s invitations down most of the time, but that hadn’t stopped her from inviting me out, “Sure!” 1 sald. I’d answered an swiftly that Jean fell silent. After a while, she asked in shock and doubt, “Isn’t today your wedding annetary with Row? Are you sure you want to come out?” I’d used the same excuse to be her down for the past four years, after all. “Yes, I’m sure. It’s a wedding anniversary, not a death anniversary be right there thung up after answering Jean firmly. opened my wardrobe to see a variety of clothes in shades of black, white, and gray–even blue was hard to find Every major brand name had designs in various colors, yet I’d foolishly spent a fore buying the most boring plece.

It was slinky and smooth, and the V–neck went so low that it almost reached my belly button The elastic waistband emphased my owly slender waist. My arms were left here and exposed, and more than half of my back was on show I could still remember I’d bought this dress to seduce nowan Unfortunately, he hadn’ten returned home that whole month. Now, the only thing I was unhappy with was the fact that my chest was too fat was somewhat unworthy of the sexiness of the dress. Still, comforted myself and told myself it would do for now, I just had to eat more in the hubur, 1 changed into the dress and put on some makeup before heading to the gene.
