In this story of love and betrayal, Nicole Du’s sister-in-law who lived in the suburbs of the city gave birth and invited her over to help care for the baby. It was a demanding job and to be successful, it was paramount that Nicole would pack up and go stay over there with them.

Nicole wasn’t the type to say no to her matrimonial family, cos she came from a societal class well below them. They used her like a maid, but since her husband was taking care of her poor liability of a family, she thought the best she could do was do as she was told.

She packed up, but before she left, she went over to Sabina’s who lived a few blocks away in the estate. Sabina was her friend for a long time. While she was dating Austin, she once took Sabina with her to visit him, Austin saw Sabina’s appearance – dressed in revealing, and skimpy clothes – and warned Nicole to not allow her to influence her. But Nicole was constantly in the rescue of Sabina, saying how she was a good girl and a book shouldn’t be judged by its cover.

Part 1: Story-line of Sweet Sorrow

There was a certain accident that happened one of the days during the period. Nicole had received a call about how her friend Sabina had fainted in the lobby of one of the hotels in town. She rushed over and took her to the hospital.

She later heard a rumor about how she’d fainted because a certain man’s wife had slapped her. Sabina denied it all, of course, and naive Nicole believed her. Well, Nicole asked Sabina to keep a watch on her husband while she was gone… Sabina promised to not let him cheat on her, and Nicole left for the suburbs.

She woke up one morning to a text from her ex. She read it, but something else worried her. She’d begun to discover that there were discrepancies in the communication pattern she’d established with Austin ever since arriving here.

As a matter of fact, she called for many minutes that morning and no one answered. She also texted, but no one responded, and neither did she receive a call or text back. She was troubled in her spirit and therefore decided to pay her home a surprise visit.

On arrival, she opened the unlocked door and walked in. On the floor were littered two people’s pairs of shoes. One a female, and the other a male. She followed the trail, and there were clothes. A tie, a trouser, and female clothes; a pantie, bra, and consequently satin jumpsuit. All were lying around on the floor, leading a trail towards the master bedroom, as if the owners were in a hurry to ly down. The bedroom door was wide open and Nicole walked in.

On the bed were Sabina and her husband – Austin. She watched in shock for a minute before they spotted her. Austin hurried up to find his boxers somewhere under the covers. Sabina only had a laugh ready for the occasion.

She’d, of course, rehearsed in secret in anticipation of this moment. She was nice enough to tell Nicole how stupid she was and how she was a smarter woman, saying how Nicole was a terrible wife who was never around for her husband.

Austin agreed with her and said that they need a divorce since he was tired of taking care of her family. Her brother was in University and her mother was in a nursing home.

Austin had previously accepted them before and during the one year their marriage had lasted. But alas, he’d changed. Nicole accepted his request for a divorce and left them.

Nicole was serving her mother-in-law the next morning when Austin came over. They both went to the registry and got officially divorced. Now, Nicole needed a job to care for her family. She entered a hotel and miraculously got a job. The pay was good, the incentives were generous. She was working one day, a few weeks later when she was asked to clean the presidential suit. Lo and behold, the occupant is her ex-boyfriend whom she’d dumped without a reason, a few years ago.

Part 2: Main Characters of Sweet Sorrow

Nicole Du, the strong female lead of sweet sorrow, was born to a poor family. She’d migrated to the city in search of a job and had met the wealthy Mr. Austin Liang at the mall one day. She was 22yrs and Austin was 30. Nicole loved her husband so much cos he loved her and accepted her family.

She was submissive not only to him but also to his entire family. She never complained for one day cos she was grateful to them. Even after catching her husband red-handed and accepting his divorce request, she still went over to her mother-in-law’s house to help her.

Sweet Sorrow Chapter 3: Long time no see

Nicole had run away as soon as she set her eyes on Jacob Gu. He was a tall handsome man, very shapely and attractive. Nicole never believed there was anything in this world that would bring them together again.

She sat on the floor and covered her face in shame. He was looking all handsome and expensive, while she was dirty in a worker’s uniform.

Sweet Sorrow Chapter 4: Value

The manager informed Nicole to go please their important guest in the presidential suit.

He demands that she make him happy. She arrived in the suit and saw that it was really Jacob. It was even more shocking that he hadn’t moved on. He desired her still and wanted to take her by force, at least for the sake of revenge.
