She leaned against the wall, stumbling out while shaking all over, teeth chattering.
There wouldn’t be a n
ext time.
Soon she’d kick him out of her life.
That evening, Alexander’s assistant delivered a gown and jewelry, saying she needed to attend a charity auction.
Aria went.
Then at the entrance, she saw Savannah.
Savannah wore a designer gown with a diamond necklace Alexander had bought last month at auction for millions.
Aria stopped and looked at Alexander. “She’s there, so what am I here for?”
His expression was cool. “Didn’t plan to bring her, but she wanted to see it.”
He paused, his tone casual. “Don’t be so petty, Aria.”
Aria trembled slightly.
She wasn’t being petty.
He just never considered how having both his wife and mistress appear together would make her the target of gossip and mockery.
Alexander walked straight in with Savannah clinging to his arm, smiling sweetly.
People whispered nearby.
“Look at them – perfect couple, huh?”
“Nah. That’s the wife. The other one? His mistress.”
The person glanced awkwardly at Aria. “Well, no wonder I mixed them up. He gave the originals to the mistress while the wife got the freebies. He sure treats that one well, huh?”
Aria dug her nails into her palms.
When the auction started, Aria casually bid on a few items,
But whatever she bid on, Savannah would outbid her by just one dollar.
Low laughter spread around them.
“Wow, never thought I’d see a mistress bullying the wife around like that…”
Aria’s expression remained flat as she signaled “no-limit bid.”
It meant she’d take the item at any price, no ceiling.
Savannah turned pale and tugged at Alexander’s sleeve. “Alex, I really really want this one…”

“No.”
“She can’t make no limit bids, but I can. I’m the wife. What’s yours is mine.” Aria shot Savannah a cold look. “No matter what you give her, she’ll never

equal me.”
Savannah’s eyes instantly reddened. She stood up abruptly. “You-”
Then she suddenly covered her face, crying. “Yes, you’re his wife… I’m just a hidden plaything. I shouldn’t have dreamed… Alex… we should end this!”
She turned and ran.
Alexander’s face darkened. He grabbed Aria’s wrist, almost crushing her bones. “I told you I’d get bored eventually! Why the hell did you have to push her out?!”
Aria looked at him calmly. “What the hell does it have to do with me?”
His eyes turned cold, released her hand and strode after Savannah.
Aria stood there with mocking and pitying stares all around her.
But she didn’t care.
Soon she’d be gone anyway.
The next morning, Aria was startled awake by a news notification on her phone.
[BREAKING: 999 intimate photos of Sterling family head, Alexander Sterling’s wife to be auctioned at Sotheby’s!]
Her blood instantly froze.
Those photos… only Alexander had them.
