Chapter 1866 Reaping What Was Sown
Honey We Are Not Getting Remarried: Get Away From Me!
In a heartbeat, Rochelle blacked out, slumping to the floor. When she regained her senses, she was sprawled in an unfamiliar room, wait a minute, wasnât this the same man she had dispatched to Elisaâs room?
She knew she hadnât been violated, but the optics of sharing a room with a naked man were a catastrophe waiting to happen if anyone stumbled upon them. Suppressing the urge to throttle the guy, Rochelle tried to shake him awake.
But the man was out cold from drugs. No amount of shaking seemed to work.
Beads of sweat formed on Rochelleâs forehead, tracing a path down her face. And then, footsteps sounded outside, spurring her into action like a deer in headlights.
The steps were closing in, offering Rochelle zero time to think. She ducked into a nearby closet, and thatâs when Paulâs voice and a female strangerâs voice drifted in.
Paulâs voice was tinged with eagerness as he said, âOh, baby, how I missed you.â
The woman played the coquette, responding with a saccharine-sweet, âYou naughty boy.â
The sheer sweetness might give anyone cavities.
They entered the room, wrapped up in their little reunion, blissfully unaware of the man passed out on the bed.
Rochelleâs mental gears clicked. This must be Paulâs room! D*mn, Iâve been played!
âWhat the heckâ!â
The woman shrieked, spotting the guy on the bed. She turned her gaze to Paul, asking, âWhyâs there a dude here?â
The unwarranted discovery made the woman question Paulâs sexual orientation. Paul seemed on edge, ready to intervene, but her angry outburst punctured his confidence.
âHow the h*ll would I know?â Paul grumbled, scratching his head with frustration.
âProbably some id*ot who canât handle his boozes.â
Realizing her overreaction, the woman sheepishly apologized. âUm... shall we continue then?â
Rochelle initially intended to avoid misunderstandings with Paul, so she stayed hidden in the closet. But that didnât matter now.
âWhack!â
Rochelle stormed out from the darkness and violently slapped the womanâs face.
Taken aback by the unexpected figure springing from the closet, the womanâs scream filled the air.
The woman was a complete stranger to Rochelle â probably a new intern. Who wouldâve guessed that Paul would be all chummy with someone new the second she turned her back? This was flat-out cheating and betrayal!
Anger blazed in Rochelleâs eyes as she pointed an accusatory finger at the woman, unleashing a torrent of curses. âB*tch! You seriously thought you could steal my man?â
With that, she landed another slap on the womanâs face.
The woman cradled her stinging cheek, tears flowing as she sobbed, cornered by the thought that Paulâs legitimate wife had caught her red-handed. She didnât dare to put up a fight.
Paulâs head pounded from the chaos, spiraling into a mess. He yelled, âShut up, both of you! Youâre driving me insane.â
Catching Rochelleâs bewildered expression, he ignored any explanation. Rochelle charged at him, seemingly wanting to slap him as well.
Paul forcefully pushed her aside, his anger boiling over. âKnow your place. Youâre just a mistress.â
Rochelle stared at Paul, her eyes wide with shock. He had never spoken to her this way before.
Realizing that Rochelle was also in the same boat as her, a mistress, the womanâs anger flared. She stood up, lunging at Rochelle, ready to fight tooth and nail.
