Chapter 6
Chapter 6 Yasir paused for a bear before continuing .
Nevin mentioned that everyone in town knows Yvonne got kicked out of the room on her wedding night .
Youve been gone for a year , and now you come back with another woman .
Do you think people will go easy on her ! Hayden stayed quiet .
He hadnt known what Nevin had done .
So , Yvonne was seeking a divorce because of this ? he wondered , remembering the resolute expression on Yvonnes face from the night before , and a flicker of unease rippled through his usually composed eyes .
Yasir didnt intend to press the matter further .
He casually added , Its about time we got going .
The partys kicking off soon .
Hayden nodded , stood up , and left .
Since returning from the Parker residence , I had been standing at the doorstep of Rosy House , the place Id moved into after marrying Hayden .
The estate sprawled over 600,000 square feet , featuring pavilions , terraces , rockeries , and ponds .
The rose grove in the backyard was especially lovely , bursting with countless roses in May , which had given the estate its niante Once , I had thought I would live here forever , but in just a year , it had turned into a cage I wanted to escape .
As I steeled myself to step inside , the boiler .
Rita Linton , approached with a retinue of servants , Mrs.
Parker , its time to change your clothes .
The dinner party is about to start .
Dinner party ? I inquired instinctively , a wave of bewilderment washing over me Mr.
Parker informed us of a gathering tonight and requested your presence .
Your attire has arrived , and the car is on standby Rita responded with deference .
Now in clicked .
Hayden had just returned to the country , so he had to attend many social gatherings .
These events were usually organized by the elle , so he needed to bring me , his wife in name .
Otherwise , hed probably have taken Joanna instead .
Im feeling a bit tired .
Just tell him to take someone else , I replied calmly , choosing to give Hayden and Joanna their monen Rita looked taken aback .
After a brief pause , she sincerely advised .
Youve been waiting for Mr.
Hayden Parker for so long , and now that hes finally returned , you should seize this chance .
y throat tightened winning Haydens heart wasnt just about wanting it let out a bitter smile , preparing to decline again .
My Rita persisted , Tonights party includes an auction .
Why not take a look at the jewelry ? There might be paintings , and even a Steinway piano A piano ? I vaguely remembered my mother mentioning a piano being auctioned off before she passed .
Could this be the very same one ? Yes , Mr Parker .
With your stunning looks , If you dress up , youll outshine the other woman , Rita said , her voice brimming with enthusiasm .
My expression froze , and she quickly caught her ship .
I mean , Mr.
Farker will surely be pleased to see you she corrected herself , trying to smooth over the moment .
Perhaps it was because Id always tailored to Haydens tastes that Rita seemed so anxious now .
But I had no intention of explaining that my feelings for Hayden were a thing of the past .
I glanced at the dress held by the servant behind her a light , off shoulder evening gown in a moonlit hue .
i was the epitome of simple elegance , exactly what Hayden preferred .
Everyone in the city knew he had a cool , detached demeanor , favoring styles that were simple , elegant , and had an otherworldly charm , Unfortunately , after a decade of dressing up in the styles he loved , I still hadnt won his heart .
Suddenly , frustration welled up inside me .
This one wont do .
Go fetch some more vibrant evening dresses , I said , my voice ley .
Why was I still dressing to impress Hayden ? It was time to be true to myself Mrs.
Parker , you , Rita hesitated , her voice trailing off as if she couldnt believe her ears .
If we dont hustle , well miss the party , I reminded her , Only then did she quickly turn and take the servants upstairs .
Half an hour later , I slid into the car , rocking a stunning bright red off shoulder evening gown With a smooth purr of the engine , we pulled away , leaving the servants staring in surprise .
At the entrance , I spotted Hayden leading Joanna inside from a distance .
She wore a flowing white dress , looking like an angel .
She occasionally Те 1/2 Dreame Read Romance Stories Installed Chapter 6 turned to talk to Hayden , her smile radiant and cheerful , while he stood next to her like a knight .
Honestly , they seemed like they were made for each other .
I stood there , watching quietly , a pang shooting through my chest .
If Hayden had Joanna on his arm , why did he extend an invite to me ? Was it just to embarrass me ? Yvonne , you actually came ! Hayden already has a date .
Why are you shamelessly here to join the fun ? A voice dripped with mockery cut through the air .
I turned around to see Nevins smug face .
Did you tell Rita to send me over ? I narrowed my eyes , sizing him up .
What did you expect ? Did you think Hayden would bring you ? Stop dreaming .
He would never fall for a schemer like you .
Nevin laughed triumphantly .
It clicked Nevin was playing a revenge game .
Alright then , if that was how he wanted to play , I wasnt about to sit on my hands .
Without wasting any words , I whipped out my phone and punched in a number .
Jamie ? Its Yvonne , I said with a chilling smile .
Regarding what Nevin did to you earlier , youre good to go ahead and sue him whenever youre ready .
Instantly , Nevins fare darkened .
He lunged for my phone , bellowing , Yvonne , have you lost your mind ? End the call now ! I stepped back , evading his hand , and hung up after hearing a faint response from Jamie Lewis .
Then , I turned to Nevin and said in a cold tone , I told you before , dont mess with me Nevin was furious , practically exploding with rage .
How dare you let Jamie sur me ? Hayden wont stand for this .
Then youd better hope Jamie will let you go first .
You stole his girlfriend and broke some of his bones .
Get ready to spend a long time in jail , I sneered .
Without another glance in his direction , I walked toward the party hall Yvonne Jackson You crazy woman ! Nevins shouts echoed behind me , but they didnt slow my pace .
Crazy woman ! This was just the beginning , and it would only get crazier from here .
A cold smile crept onto my lips , and just as I took a few more steps , a man suddenly blocked my path , Youre Yvonne ? You dont seem to match the rumors the man remarked , his voice a deep , captivating rumble .
And you are ? I raised an eyebrow and asked .
He stood there with his hands clasped behind his back , his tall silhouette angled away from me , obscuring his face .
The cut of his finely tailored .
high end suit screamed money and power , hinting that he was a heavyweight .
Not to toot my own horn , but I knew almost every powerful figure in this city .
Still , this guy was a complete stranger to me .
He turned around , and his long eyebrows showed a hint of disappointment .
You dont recognize me I gently shook my head , confused .
Never mind , he said with a soft sigh .
Just remember , my name is Marlon Warner I was stunned he was from the Warner family , the ones rumored to have built their wealth through shady dealings ? But they were known for being discreet and typically avoided large gatherings .
So , what was Marlon doing talking to me ? And what brings you to me ? I inquired , striving to keep my composure .
I heard you want Nevin to go to jail ? Marlon raised an eyebrow , looking amused .
Its said youre smutten with Hayden .
Nevins his baby brother , and are you really ready to pull the trigger on that ! SEND GIFT
