13:59
It was noon. The sun was a bright blinding glare in the sky shining down on Orchid Vale Country Club, an exclusive country club and golf course for the rich and famous.
Anya had been compelled to join Evan for a game of golf at the country club.
They stepped into the lavishly decorated establishment.
Instantly, uniformed staff and caddies rushed forward to receive Evan with a warm welcome.
Anya had arrived at the country club alongside Evan.
Hence, it didn’t matter who she was.
She received the same cordial reception. The staff of the country club treated her with such friendliness that she found herself slightly overwhelmed by their enthusiasm.
Luckily, Evan did not require her to do anything after they had arrived at the country club. All she had to do was get on the golf cart, take a seat and be driven to a vast stretch of leveled, green lawn.
Evan got out of the golf cart as soon as they arrived at the golf course.
The caddie, with the bag of golf clubs and golf balls slung over his shoulder, trailed the young man closely like a second
shadow
Anya didn’t know how to play golf. She ended up trailing after them slowly.
It was a really warm day.
The glaring harsh sunlight spilled across the golf course and cast a harsh brightness across the green lawn. Anya’s forehead was beaded with sweat.
Evan had already begun his first game.
Anya stood a distance away as she observed the game. After some time, she couldn’t take the heat any longer. It was simply too warm outside. She desperately needed a break and some shade.
As the young woman was walking away, a white golf cart sped past her and nearly knocked her down. Anya steadied herself before continuing her way towards the shade. The white golf cart stopped without any warning.
A young man got out of the golf cart.
The man froze momentarily at the sight of Anya. A smug look appeared on his face the next second. It had been a year. He had not expected to see the woman who had cuckolded him.
What a coincidence.
Zachary stared frostily at Anya before moving right into her path. Malice dripped from his every word. “Anya, what are you

doing in a place like this?”
“This is where rich folks hang out. I heard you were driven out of the MacMillan family. You’ve lost the right to be here.”
Anya hadn’t realized whom it was who was standing in her way when she had looked up. Surprise rippled across her eyes. She had not expected to run into her ex–fiancé here. They had broken off the engagement.
She wasn’t interested in talking to the man.
She threw him a cool look before walking away wordlessly.
Zachary wasn’t having any of that. His family had forced him into a marriage of convenience with Anya a year ago. But what had come of it?
Nothing but a humiliating affair. His fiancée had fallen into bed with another man.
It had humiliated Zachary
Luckily, he had broken off the engagement quickly. The thought of being married to such a loose woman turned his stomach.
But that didn’t mean that he was over the fact that she had cuckolded him! He still wanted payback for what she had done
to him.
“Anya, have you hooked up with some rich guy?” Zachary caught Anya’s wrist and eyed the woman’s pretty face. Beautiful women were nothing but trouble. “Is that what you’re up to now? Prostitution?”
“You’re the prostitute, not me!” Anya detested insults to her character. Zachary’s words Infuriated her instantly. She tried to tug her wrist free.
“How dare you insult me? Who do you think you are? The Virgin Mary?” Zachary was seized by the impulse to humiliate the woman in public. “Who knows how many men you’ve fallen into bed with? Stop that virginal act of yours!”
“Let me go, Zachary.” Anya wasn’t interested in starting an argument with the man. “I’m going to yell for help if you don’t let
me go.”
“Go on and scream for help. Let me see which rich guy you’ve hooked up with now.” Zachary was from a rich family too. He wasn’t afraid at all. But he hadn’t expected to hear a loud thud as soon as he had spoken.
Nor did he expect a golf ball to hit him squarely in the leg.
Zachary howled in pain and released his grip on Anya instantly. The young man clutched his leg, fell to the ground, and began wriggling in pain.
Amidst Zachary’s pained yowls, Evan appeared with a golf club in his hand. He stared down at the other young man. His voice was as harsh as winter. “Don’t let me see you put your hands on Ms. MacMillan again. You’re going to get hit by something a lot harder than a golf ball.” Original from Nôdaisynovel.com.
The promise of pain was clear in Evan’s eyes. The man was threatening to hit Zachary with the golf club next.
