My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Vivian had been hearing hushed whispers about her fall from grace and Liliana’s praises.

She had dumped Terry as soon as she was inside and had been surprised when he had not pressed for it.

She saw him in a corner with another man and an underage girl, both of them had a strong likening to poverty. She sneered in her heart. At least, he knew his rightful place.

Terry on the other hand completely ignored Vivian. The way she had got rid of him validated his assessment beyond any doubt. He also recognized Liliana as the person who had sponsored his entry into Kings High.

On the other hand James Miller, Jonathan and Henry’s best friend, recognized Mariana as the woman who had rammed into his car and pretended to be pitiful to get away with it when they were abroad.

They all mingled in the crowd as Jonathan introduced Liliana to several of his partners and big-wigs.

Liliana carried herself with ease, and Jonathan was pleasantly surprised at how good she was at having things her way.

She was the seemingly ‘fresh’ face yet she had that natural air like she owned everyone and everything.

She was not aloof or cold, but warm and inviting. Yet, she had that aura that prevented anyone from getting close.

Her boundaries were clear and maintained without exceptions.

The more time he spent with her, the more he was in awe of her and he was curious of her.

Liliana saw first-hand how Jonathan flitted in the crowd. He was still young, yet men twice his age were respectful to him and dared not cross him. He was a business prodigy indeed.

The women eyeing him were everywhere and she was pleased to know he never even acknowledged their presence, much less give them any encouragement.

Vivian made her way towards them and asked Liliana if she could excuse them as she had something to talk to ‘her man’ in private.

She had been quite confident that Jonathan would not embarrass her in public. After all, she had the agreement and the photos to tie him.

But Jonathan gave her a slap in the face.

He avoided her touch and snorted, “I am not your man. And Miss Stone as far as I know Stone group was not in the guest list.”

Jonathan said in the same octave as she had talked. Everyone around them heard the conversation loud and clear and the news spread across the venue.

“Jonathan, don’t be like this.” Vivian tried to act like a wronged girlfriend.

“It’s President Smith for you. And stay away from me. I have never acknowledged you as my girlfriend.” Jonathan snapped.

Vivian decided to change her strategy and target Liliana. If she was to be humiliated, she would paint Liliana as a home-wrecker as well.

The onlookers could clearly see the difference between the two women.

One stood proud and tall while the other tried to bring her down rather than climb up by herself.
