Crowned by temptation

Back To Square One

Without condom. That means there was a high possibility of getting her pregnant.

"If you want to ask me how I found out, I could show you the tape he sent of when he slowly slid into you. And you moaned, you moaned like a freaking slut, and you have the audacity to still ask me 'how could I do this to you?'. Trust me I never wanted to cheat but you started it"

Jonathan said as he turned about going back to his seat, but Manon grabbed his arm with a pleading gaze.

"Please, I don't know what happened. I was truly drugged" Manon said but Jonathan just tore her hand off his clothes with a glare.

"From today onward, we share no ties whatsoever with each other. Go back home, back your things and leave my house" Jonathan said and his words shattered Manon's heart into pieces.

So this was truly the end of her marriage. She looked behind Jonathan and saw Lucinda smirk at her, Manon immediately realized it.

That voice that whispered ‘I'm sorry’ could be no other person than Lucinda. She had allowed herself fall victim to her trap. Manon ran her finger's through her hair taking a deep breath as she looked at Jonathan with nothing but hate and regret.

"We are married for four years, Jonathan and you still have the right to cheat on me with my own sister really?" She said to Jonathan but he was done speaking with, he grabbed Lucinda's arm as he pulled her along with him.

"When you're done, lock my office for me and don't let anything go missing" Jonathan said, glancing at her as if she was some irritating s**t before he left the office.

Manon stood there, her body vibrating due to anger and sadness. Her own blood sister had the audacity to sleep with her husband, she couldn't even believe it.

Yes, she believed that Lucinda didn't like her but this was just too much. Manon felt tears slowly running down her cheeks, where does she start from.

Her parents would obviously call her a failure. To them, her and Lucinda were like competitors in some sort of huge competition and the one who loses us taged as someone who is nothing but useless and a burden.

Manon cried, her shoulders shook as she felt her knees go weak, allowing herself crash to the floor. The pain she was meant to feel in her leg, due to the impact.

She didn't feel it.

After a while, she pulled herself together, gathering her purse and phone. She looked at the food and cake on the floor, she just smiled as she walked out of the office.

Manon sat in her car as the sweet melodies of 'that's so true' bursted through her car's speaker. She had no idea why Lucinda would go this far just to ruin a marriage she had kept intact, a marriage she endured a lot of things for.

Now it was over.

She had nothing to show for it except from a luxurious company which she had started under the name of Jonathan. When she was speaking she wanted to mention that but what guarantee does she had that he would even give her a penny?

Manon drove back to her family's house, her head throbbing as she did but she didn't even want to think about any of that now. The guard who was usually welcoming and flashes her a bright smile when he arrived looked pretty dull and his face was stone cold.

“What is it?” Manon asked as she stepped out of the car, it felt as if a stomach was placed on her heart but she just couldn't place why it felt that way.

“With all due respect ma'am, please go in back your things and leave this mansion as soon as possible. Boss is almost back home and has demanded he meets no slut in his house” The guards said shuddering at his own words, he was forced to say this if not he would loose his job. A camera at the front gate pointed right as him to show proof he actually said it.

Manon chuckled darkly at his words, Jonathan and Lucinda were the most shameful people she had ever gotten entangled with. “No problem” she said wth her shoulder slumped.

She pulled her tired body back into the house, gazing at the luxurious interior design and thought about how sweet this marriage was when she had first gotten married. Not planning on wasting time.

She immediately headed upstairs, brought out a large suitcase as she loaded all her things into it. She felt like bursting into tears but she wouldn't give Lucinda something to laugh about, she would leave this country after she had settled something's and wouldn't return back only after she became wealthy and would come back for revenge.

As soon as all her things were pack up. She paused looking at the vast bedroom, it was painted her favourite color, pink and black just because Jonathan wanted to make her happy.

Where did that sweet and thoughtful man go? She quietly asked herself as she chuckled darkly. Manon grabbed the framed picture she held dear to her heart. Smashing it in the floor with a scream.

Lucinda who had just arrived at the mansion with Jonathan heard the scream chuckled as she rested her head on Jonathan's arm. “Looks like she's bound to run mad soon”

Manon who was pulling her suitcase down heard this and her ftwon deepened, she would never allow her younger sister trample over her like that.

“Just because I let you eat from the same bowl as me doesn't make you superior to me. Jonathan, I'll have my lawyer send you the divorce papers, have a nice day” With that, Manon left the sitting room, leaving both Lucinda and Jonathan shocked to their bones.

“That wrench” Lucinda said as Jonathan runned her back soothingly.

“Don't let her upset you, don't forget that she's just another mad dog looking for who to upset” Jonathan's words made her smile softly as she pressed her soft body into him, looking up at him with crystal clear doe eyes.

Manon looked at the guard who had helped her place her luggage into the boot, he had an apologetic look on his face and she immediately understood what had happened earlier.

“I know they put you up to it, don't feel guilty and just help me make sure Lucinda doesn't do something she'd regret” Manon said hearing her sister's giggle coming from inside the house, her eyes looked lifeless and calm but they had lost that spark they usually had in them.

“I'd make sure of that ma'am, I wish you good luck in all your endeavors” The guard said softly allowing Manon nod as she walked to her car, open the driver's seat door as she entered. Starting the engine as she drove away.

She looked back once as tears rolled her her cheeks. “Back to square one”
