Elaineâs past actions, especially when she exposed photos of Edwin and Olivia, made her utterly evil and unforgivable in Ceciliaâs eyes.
Cecilia wasnât one to hold grudges.
Her marriage with Mark wasnât even official.
And while Elaineâs obsession with Mark was her own business, her actions had hurt others.
She had this coming.
As Ceciliaâs sleek limousine pulled away, Elaine was left, lost in her thoughts.
Her phone buzzed, breaking her daze.
Chandlerâs voice, rough and impatient, echoed, âElaine, Iâve done a lot for you.
Even got on the wrong side of Mr.
Evans for your career, and Iâm paying the price.
But now, youâve angered the Fowlers and dragged me into your mess.
My wife? Sheâs not someone youâd want to mess with.
If she gets to you, donât say I didnât warn you.
Be careful of what you say.
â
Elaine felt so ashamed; tears welled up in her eyes.
After ending the call, she was readying to leave when her phone was suddenly knocked out of her hand.
A tall woman, heavily made-up and wearing a fur coat despite the warm weather, stood in front of her.
It was evident that she came from the north.
âYouâre Elaine Shaw, right? Chandlerâs latest fling?â she sneered.
Elaine tried to find words, but the woman seemed to read her intentions.
âHit her, especially that pretty face of hers.
Maybe then sheâll think twice about chasing someone elseâs husband.
Honestly, I feel like Iâm doing everyone a favor.

With the command, several men lunged at Elaine, roughly grabbing at her hair.
The sound of slaps echoed.
Elaineâs arms turned an ugly shade of blue as they handled her with zero compassion.
Tossing a wad of $2000 bills, the woman scoffed, âGet yourself checked in at a hospital.
And cut out this whole mistress act.
As for Chandlerâs gifts, keep them.
But hear me; if you go near him again, I will skin you alive.
â
Money littered the floor around Elaine, who was now all too aware of certain boundaries.
A little digging revealed that this attack was orchestrated by Rena.
Elaine knew she should swallow her pride, apologize, and make amends.
But bitterness held her back.
