6: Violet’s Pregnancy.
(Cassie’s POV)
Max turned to Violet and hastily asked her to leave early, his tone firm and a little too eager. “Violet, I think we should call it a day here.” He beamed a smile at her.
“Alright then,” She nodded quickly, gathering her things without a word. She took some documents with her and
arranged some on the table.
“Goodbye,” She said looking at Max with a glint in her eyes. Max nodded at her casually.
I scoffed within me.
As soon as she left, Max turned to me, a soft smile tugging at his lips.
“Come here,” he said, stepping closer and reaching out to hug me.
I stepped back, avoiding his touch. “No, it’s okay,” I said lightly, forcing a small

smile.
His brows furrowed. “Are you okay?” he asked, concern lacing his tone.
I gave a short laugh, my arms wrapping around myself. “I’m just feeling a bit cold,” I replied. “And your body must be cold right now too. I don’t want to feel that on my skin.”
Max chuckled, shaking his head. “Then I’ll warm up my body and hug you,” he said playfully, his grin widening.
I laughed softly in response, but inside, the disgust churned in my stomach. The scent. of perfume and sweat still lingered on him remnants of his intimacy with another woman just moments ago. And now, he had the audacity to act like nothing happened, trying to pull me into the same. arms that had held her.
“I ordered some gifts for you,” Max said, his tone casual. “And I asked the nursery to send over your favorite flowers.”

I smiled faintly, nodding. “Okay,” I said simply.
He stepped closer, his gaze warm. “Don‘ t worry about me working so much, alright? I don’t want you to think I’m overdoing it. But I have to give my wife the best things.”
I tilted my head slightly, the smile never leaving my face. “Just don’t push yourself too hard, Max. I wouldn’t want you to affect your health.”
He smiled proudly, as if my words were some grand validation. “I’ll take care of myself. Don’t worry,” he said, turning toward the bathroom. “Let me shower quickly, and then I’ll come back to you.”
I watched him disappear into the bathroom, the sound of the water running moments later filling the silence. The smile on my face vanished as soon as the door closed. I sat down on the edge of the couch, the weight of it all pressing down on

6- Violet’s Pregnancy.
I was utterly disgusted as I looked around. I was so done with all this!
It was clear now. This man who I thought was my husband was a stranger to me. A liar cloaked in sweet words and gestures that were as hollow as the love he claimed to have for me. He was a pretender!
The next day, Violet arrived, her arms full of gifts. There were so many of them luxury bags, jewelry boxes, fresh bouquets. that anyone looking from the outside would believe Max adored me. The servants buzzed around, placing the extravagant displays exactly where Violet instructed.
Before, I might have thought the same convinced myself that these gestures were proof of his love. But now, I know better. This was nothing more than Max‘ s attempt to ease his guilt for betraying me again.
The gifts were so many and managed to deceive everyone that he loved me so

much. All the servants and workers in the house looked at it with glee in their eyes as they whispered how much he loved me.
My lips curled into a grin as I laughed within me.
Meanwhile, Violet was dressed to provocatively and exuding a smug confidence, took charge of the household as though it were hers. “Place that vase near the window,” she said, pointing at one of the servants. “And the smaller boxes, just over there on the side table.”
I didn’t intervene. If this had been before, I wouldn’t have tolerated her acting like this in my home. But now, none of it mattered. Soon, I would give everything to this house, these meaningless gifts, even Max himself to her.
As I watched everything going on around me, I felt nothing but disgust. The sight of the gifts only sickened me further, their presence just seemed like it was mocking me. Like he does, does he see me as cheap?

What does he take me for, this gift was worthless if he was interested in another
woman.
Violet turned to me, her lips curling into a sarcastic smile. “You know,” she began,
“Passion is so important in a relationship. My boyfriend and I… we re so passionate. It’s what keeps us going strong.”
I said nothing, my face blank.
She walked over to the pile of gifts, picking up an ornate jewelry box and inspecting it with disinterest. “These are nice,” she said, tilting her head. “Expensive, yes, but a bit old–fashioned, don‘ t you think?” She glancehd at me with a smirk, waiting for a reaction.
I gave her none.
She put the box down and turned toward me, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. “You know, I haven’t told
anyone yet, but…” She hesitated, then smiled, her eyes sparkling with

My stomach tightened, but I kept my expression calm.
“You‘ re the first to know,” she continued, practically beaming. “I just couldn’t hold it in any longer. I’ve been keeping it a secret because I want it to be a surprise for him.”
I let her words hang in the air, but I didn’t respond.

I finally met her gaze, my lips curling into a faint smile. “How would I tell your boyfriend when I don‘ t even know who he is?” I asked acting like I was confused and didn’t know what was going on.
Violet laughed, the sound sharp and filled

She let out a laugh as though it were a harmless joke, the weight of her
implication crushed whatever remnants of
emotion I had left.
I tried to hide my emotions but within me it was a storm! Violet was pregnant for
