Chapter 116: The deception

Bella walked aimlessly along the pavement, her mind reeling from Claudia's words. She desperately wanted to deny what Claudia had said, to dismiss the damning photograph as a cruel fabrication. Yet, a part of her knew deep down that those photographs were not lies.

She couldn't deny the fact that she and Theodore were from different worlds and believed an ordinary woman like her wasn't suitable to be his wife.

Driven by a fierce determination to prove herself worthy of him, she had poured her heart and soul into her career. Success would be her armor, her way of showing Theodore that she was capable, that she could stand beside him as an equal. But now, the image of Theodore and Gina together shattered her resolve, compelling her to reconsider their relationship.
