Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

Alex sighed deeply. Slightly annoyed, he drove his car to one of the malls. He should be finishing his work by now. But his mother called and asked to be picked up immediately at the hospital.

“As a good future husband, you should be able to take Nicole wherever she needs to go. Especially if it’s to find your wedding dress.”

“But, it doesn’t have to be now, Ma. Alex is still working.”

Alex breathed frustratedly. This wasn’t the first time his work schedule had been disrupted because he had to obey his mother’s orders.

“Well, it has to be now. When else? Besides, time is running out. Aurora said you’ll officially divorce soon. If it’s true that you’ll separate this week, Mama wants you and Nicole to have the wedding party by the end of the month.”

Nicole, who was sitting in the back seat, smiled broadly. This was what she had been waiting for since the beginning.

“The end of the month? That’s just seven or eight days away. Isn’t that tight?”

“No,” Savana replied casually. “And it has to be rushed, Alex. Can’t you marry Nicole only when her belly is big?”

“Yes, Honey,” Nicole added. “The end of the month seems like the right time for us to get married. Just hire a wedding organizer if you can’t handle it yourself. Anyway, I’m not asking for any particular type of wedding. The important thing is to become your wife as soon as possible.”

Alex was reluctant to respond again. Besides, it was pointless. His words wouldn’t be heard by his mother anyway.

Arriving at the mall, Alex followed along with heavy steps. He just let Nicole and her mother stroll around, entering one boutique after another to find the perfect dress for their wedding party.

They looked very happy. Until not long after, Alex’s steps were forced to stop when he found his mother reprimanding a woman he knew very well.

“Aurora…”

From her eyes, Alex could confirm how Aurora, who was walking with another man at that moment, was. Alex didn’t forget that the man was Aurora’s ex-boyfriend from the past.

He felt a pang of jealousy. He wanted to be angry, but Alex realized he no longer had a claim over Aurora.

“What are you doing here with another man?”

Aurora, who was not far away, turned immediately. She stopped walking, then replied.

“Mama asked Aurora what she’s doing at the mall? Obviously, spending money, Ma. What else could it be?”

Savana sighed in annoyance. She hated it when Aurora showed no respect to her.

“Is this how you behave outside the house?”

“How’s that?” Aurora asked casually.

“Well, it doesn’t look right. You’re not even officially a widow yet and you dare to go out alone with another man. Is he perhaps your new boyfriend?”

“Who said Aurora was just walking alone?”

From a different direction, Asher and Rayyen suddenly appeared. The man approached and stood right beside Aurora.

“Aurora was walking with me and her lawyer.”

“Ah, really?” Savana expressed disbelief. “That’s not convincing.”

“Well, it’s up to you. Do I have to convince you?” Asher laughed at Savana. Nevertheless, he continued speaking. “Besides, even if Aurora walks with anyone, it’s none of your business, right? Alex, who is still Aurora’s husband, can sleep with other women as he pleases. Can’t Aurora, who’s just walking and having lunch with a man who’s richer and better looking than Alex, do so?”

Savana’s face turned red. She wanted to be angry but was quickly pulled by Alex.

“Enough, Ma. It’s embarrassing. This is in public.”

“Don’t worry, Madam,” Rayyen spoke this time. “This Friday, the divorce decision between Alex and Aurora will be announced. After that, they will officially divorce. After that, Mrs. Savana can immediately marry Alex to Nicole.”

Then Asher took Aurora and Alden to leave immediately. Leaving Savana annoyed and immediately invited Nicole to return to see wedding dresses.

“Don’t worry, Ma. Don’t be upset. Nicole will retaliate against their actions.” Nicole tried to comfort her. She invited Savana to enter one of the famous boutiques. “Let’s look around again. Maybe we’ll find the dress you want this time.”

Savana nodded and then smiled. Luckily, Nicole was smart enough to lift her mood. Therefore, she continued to look for a dress. Along with Nicole, she was busy trying on one outfit after another until finally getting what she wanted.

“It seems like this one is the most suitable for you to wear at the wedding party.”

Savana sounded satisfied. She looked with admiration at Nicole’s appearance as she tried on one of the dresses that fit perfectly and, of course, was expensive.

“So, should we take this one?”

Savana nodded. Then she called Alex to come closer.

“What do you think?

“I’ll leave it up to Mom,” Alex replied uninterestedly. He was still annoyed at seeing Aurora once again leaving with a man who was clearly her ex-boyfriend from the past.

“In that case, let’s just go with this one. You pay now, and then we’ll leave.”

Alex nodded lazily. Together with Nicole, he went to the cashier. After the items were totaled and double-checked, it was time for Alex to pay.

“The total for the dress, bag, shoes, and some other clothing items is $2000. Will you be paying with debit or credit card?”

“Credit card, please.”

Alex then took out and handed over one of the black cards from his wallet. After waiting for a moment, until finally, the cashier called him again.

“Sorry, Sir. Do you have another card? This one can’t be used.”

“What? Are you serious?”

“Yes. It’s been declined multiple times.”

“In that case, let’s try the other one.”

Alex then took out another card. Unfortunately, the same thing happened again.

“It’s still not working, Sir.”

“Wait, could it be that Aurora blocked your credit cards?”

Immediately, Alex and Nicole exchanged looks. They were both panicked and confused about how to pay for the dress that had already been placed in the paper bag.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
