The Woman From Hell

I closed my eyes. I felt like there were daggers in my chest. I did not want to watch the person I loved

deeply care for other women and hate me.

“This is my office. Please go to the reception room,” I insisted when I opened my eyes again.

Theo sneered and pushed me away. He said sternly, "Wanda Lane, do you think that the Grant family

belongs to you just because you bear the title of Mrs. Grant? You are not worthy!"

His sharp words were disheartening as if they were cold water splashed at me.

I took a step back and helplessly watched as Theo carried Cindy into the bathroom.

He was right. This place belonged to the Grant family and not to me.

Theo opened the wardrobe and took out an unworn set of clothes. He handed it to her and said softly,

"Quickly take a hot bath. You might catch a cold later."

"Theo, it is not that I do not want to wear Wanda's clothes. But you know that I have some skin

allergies, so I can only wear custom-made clothes." Cindy held the clothes and said with a troubled

expression.

"Do you mean the custom-made ones from Eastpeak? I will go get them immediately." Theo walked out

after saying that.

"Theowy, I feel so dizzy all of a sudden." Cindy held her forehead and fell into his embrace.

Theo held her in his arms and looked up to see that I was still standing there. He coldly said, "Go to

Eastpeak and get some clothes for Cindy."

His tone was direct and stern, not taking no for an answer.

There was still a thunderstorm outside. He only cared about Cindy, and he never thought that I would

have to brave the rain too.

Looking at Theo's condescending expression, I did not know how to tell him that the thunderstorm

outside had halted the taxi services. It was not safe for a woman like me to drive alone from the West

City to the East City in a storm.

I knew that he did not care about this at all. All he cared about was that Cindy gets her custom-made

clothes.

I swallowed the bitterness in me and headed out.

They said that love is cruel, and whoever fell in love first would lose. The first time I saw Theo, I had

already fallen in love with him. I was fated to bow to him in our relationship.

The rain was pouring heavily, and the sky was as dark as my mood. I could only see less than five

meters ahead of me and had to rely on my senses to drive the car in such conditions. Fortunately, there

was no one on the street, nor was there a single car.

When I returned to my office with the clothes two hours later, Cindy was sitting on the sofa calmly in my

clothes.

Theo was beside her, using the hairdryer to blow her hair.

"Theowy, try this grape. Although it looks hideous, I did not expect it to taste so good." She fed him the

grape.

Those were my grapes. Perhaps because I was pregnant, I had been craving grapes from my

hometown in the past few days. Heidi had especially asked someone to bring them back for me. The

box of grapes had just arrived yesterday, and I had yet to open it myself.

He raised his head with a smile and opened his mouth to eat it. He said gently, "If you like them, you

can bring them home later." He smiled and looked at her lovingly.

This interaction was warm and sweet, like a couple in love.

“They are a good match, aren't they?” a gloating voice came from behind her.

I was shocked and turned around. Theo's buddy, Zedd Nichols, looked at me with a half-smile on his

face.

“Yes, that is why you are fated to be a fan only.” I laughed lightly. I could also be quite sharp-tongued,

except when I was in front of Theo.

Zedd was a loyal fan of Cindy. For the sake of Theo and Cindy, he had been picking on me. In return, I

did not show him any mercy.

"You…" Zedd left angrily after my words had struck a nerve. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Wanda, you are back." Upon hearing my voice, Cindy turned her head and said innocently, "I was just

about to ask you where you bought your clothes. Somehow I did not get any allergies when I put them

on. It feels very amazing."

“So, you will not need these anymore, will you?” I turned and tossed the bag of Eastpeak clothes into

the trash can.

Cindy immediately stopped smiling and looked ashamed. She lowered her head and sobbed. "Wanda, I

am truly sorry that you wasted your effort to go all the way there for me. Please do not be angry with

Theo. He only made you go because he was afraid that I would get skin allergies."
