After the interview Tahlia couldn’t stop thanking Ella, for everything as she saw her a blessing sent from above. Two days after she got home from the interview. She got a call from Ella who said she was dropping in after work. At around five pm she heard a knock on her door and she knew that it was Ella immediately as she rushed to open the door for her.“Hey, you know you don’t need to know when you come here, you’re like family now” Tahlia says as she stares at Ella.“Oh c’mon,you don’t need to tease me like that. “ Ella says as she steps into the room.“That is not a tease.

Tahlia stood frozen as she stared at her husband, she didn’t know what her reaction should be or how to feel, she just kept watching him. Everything seems to flash before her eyes, how she feels in love with him , and how her family didn’t agree with the relationship then how she mistreated him. She watched him as he turned and held his lawyer’s hand as they walked past her into the office and Derek ignored her existence as if he didn’t see her.She froze the more as she felt her heart skip a beat as she watched Derek walk into the CEO office. As she connected the dots, she was shocked that this was Derek company she had come to apply for a job. A sense of hope entered her mind as she taught about the possibility of Derek wanting her back.“ He would have known I was the one who applied, he didn’t seem surprised when he saw me here. Which means he employed me on purpose. I should find a way to get him back as he is starting to accept me back” Tahlia though.The idea of leaving disap
Tahlia walked out of the CEO's office feeling defeated and humiliated. She couldn't believe the position she found herself in.

She looked directly into Derek's eyes, refusing to show any vu
With a newfound sense of confidence, Tahlia decided to attend the dinner. She wanted to confront her fears head-on and show Derek and Bianca that she was no longer affected by their presence. She would prove to herself and to them that she had moved on.As Tahlia arrived at Derek's luxurious mansion, she took a deep breath and walked inside with her head held high. The familiar scent of the place brought back memories, both good and bad, but she pushed them aside, focusing on the present.Derek and Bianca were already waiting for her in the lavish dining room. The room was adorned with exquisite decorations, and a table filled with gourmet dishes awaited them.

"Yes, I thought it was time for me to move forward and show you bo
She felt curious about what Bianca had to say. She wondered if there was more to the situation than she had initially thought. Tahlia knew that going to dinner at Derek and Bianca's place might be uncomfortable, but she also saw it as an opportunity to gather information and gain a better understanding of the dynamics at play.With a mix of apprehension and determination, Tahlia decided to accept the invitation.

The days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months as Derek's intricate plan for revenge slowly took shape. He had spent years quietly amassing power and influence, and now the time had come to reveal the extent of his transformation to Tahlia and Gianna.Derek's first move was to strike at the heart of Tahlia's world—her successful art gallery, which had become a symbol of her triumph over adversity. He used his connections to spread rumors and manipulate the art industry, sowing seeds of doubt about Tahlia's talent and integrity. Fake news articles, negative reviews, and whispers among influential figures slowly eroded the reputation she had worked so hard to build.As Tahlia struggled to understand the sudden downturn in her career, Derek remained distant, seemingly unaware of the chaos unfolding around her.
