Chapter 1

“Can you believe it? She was proposed to with a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar ring.”

“Forget about the price, it is a limited edition green emerald diamond ring, there are only four in the world.”

“She’s such a lucky woman, I envy her. Her fiance booked out the entire restaurant. That must have cost a fortune.”

Ryker could hear the comments from the onlookers as he served them drinks.

Today was his wedding anniversary and he was working as a waiter at the prestigious Hillbilly restaurant for the holiday to earn enough money to buy his wife a present.

This was not his normal day job but he needed all the money he could get, so he wore the waiter hat effortlessly, serving important dignitaries with a big smile on his lips.

As he worked, he thought about what he would get Sara, his wife. 

‘If only I was as rich as the man who proposed to his lover, Sara is a beautiful angel that deserves all the finest things in the world,’ he mused, reminiscing the smile of his beautiful wife.

“Sara Ford is a top ten beauty in Crimson, it’s no surprise she caught the eye of a juggernaut like Sebastian Cole.”

Another comment filtered into Ryker’s ear and his heart suddenly sprinted when he heard his wife’s name but then he laughed at himself. 

It had to be another Sara Ford. 

How can his wife be getting engaged to another man while they are still married?

However, curiosity moved his feet and he pushed past the crowd to catch a glimpse of the newly engaged couple and when he saw them, the tray he was holding slid off his hand, his heart clenched with pain and he wiped his eyes multiple times to be sure he wasn’t seeing  things.

But there was nothing wrong with his vision, smiling to the crowd and showing off a huge diamond ring on her finger was no one else but his wife of three years, Sara Ford.

“What are you doing, Sara?” 

Ryker marched forward to face his wife.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Sara fired at him, not a hint of remorse in her tone.

“What am I doing here? How can you accept to marry another man when I am still your husband? What is wrong with you?” Ryker’s tone was curt but full of pain.

SMACK!

Sara slapped Ryker out of nowhere, leaving his face stinging red.

“What right do you have to question me, you incompetent bastard? You are nothing but bad luck to me.”

She flaunted her engagement ring in his face. 

“Do you know how much this costs? Even if you work for ten years, a poor trash like you could never afford it.”

Ryker was stunned. 

He loved Sara dearly and would do anything for her. 

He thought she shared the same love for him. But apparently,he was totally wrong... 

Sara reached for her bag and took out a document, throwing it at Ryker’s feet.

“I have already agreed to marry Seb so you have only one choice, sign the divorce papers.”

She was planning to give it to Ryker tonight,but now that he had seen all this,there was no need to wait any more. She could get rid of him immediately.

Ryker stared at her in pain and disbelief. 

He felt like a truckload of stingers were dumped on his heart as he picked up the document to see Sara had already signed it. 

“Three years Sara, three years of doting on you, giving you everything I work for, taking care of your entire family and this what I get? A surprise divorce?” Ryker replied in a deeply pained tone, moving closer to her, when a man came between him and Sara, putting Sara behind him possessively.

That man was none other than the heir to the Cole Shipping Company, Sebastian Cole.

He was a son of a third tier family in Crimson that controlled almost fifty percent of the city’s import and export, making them amass great wealth over the years.

“Do you think trash like you is worthy to compete for a goddess like Sara with me?” Sebastain asked, looking completely disgusted by Ryker’s poor appearance.

“I don’t have to compete with you, she’s my wife,” Ryker answered sternly.

“No she’s not, for the past two years, Sara has been warming my bed and milking my cock, you were just a place holder, nothing but a fucking cuckold and now, I want her all to myself, so do us all a favour and fuck off.”

Ryker gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, unwilling to believe that Sara has been cheating on him for two years.

Sebastian scoffed and grabbed a glass mug from the table.

“I will forgive your impudence for crashing my engagement ceremony as today is a special day for me. I will even be generous enough to let you come to our wedding, if you kneel on this broken glass and apologise to me and my wife.” 

Sebastain boasted, smashing the mug on the floor and pointing to it.

“No baby, he can’t come to our wedding, filth like him is not worthy to attend such a grand occasion,” Sara said with a frown, rolling her eyes at Ryker in contempt.

Sebastain chuckled. “I never said I will give him an invite, he will come, but as a cleaner. That is the only thing befitting of a pauper like him.”

“Oh baby, you are so vile and generous at the same time, I love it,” Sara replied with a mocking chuckle, looking at Ryker.

“So what is it going to be loser, are you going to kneel and apologise or do I beat you to death?” 

Sebastian smirked coldly at Ryker.
