Chapter 2 Gertrude felt like her mind had gone blank . She was surprised to hear Jensina say such a thing . But what truly stunned her was how far Coleman would go to humiliate her . Gertrude muttered a curse and said , " Forget the courier . I'll bring it to you myself and then head back for overtime . " Why let a courier handle it when she could get it done herself - and faster ? Jensina ended the call , surprised at her own straightforwardness . She'd been holding it in for too long , and it was suffocating .. Coleman's words at the club that night rang true . He'd never slept with her . ears of It was hard to believe , but after three years of marriage , she remained a virgin . At first , she thought there might be something wrong with Coleman . But then , she caught him in the study multiple times , using a photo album for self - pleasure . His muffled sounds were like slaps to her face . Once , he noticed her . He hugged her , whispered in her ear , " I'm sorry , Sina . The thought of hurting you that way just didn't feel right . I could only do that with your photos … " Ironically , the usually shy Jensina blushed . But that night , back in Los Angeles after taking her fever meds , she mustered the last of her energy to go to the study and force open the locked cabinet . Inside was the photo album , packed with pictures of Juanita , vibrant and captivating . Every one of her smiles was cherished by Coleman . Jensina felt like a fool . Lost in thought , she recalled how she used to trail after Coleman . In fact , she wasn't really trailing after him . It was just because Stanley Herring was always with him . Seeing him often , she began to think , " It'd be nice to marry him . " Coleman had a great temperament , was patient and kind , and always brought her a gift when he visited Stanley . He was the most courteous among Stanley's friends . This courteous gentleman preferred to pleasure himself with Juanita's photos rather than sleep with his own wife , who was right there . Jensina was surprised by Gertrude's speed . She had just woken up and finished washing up , not yet heading downstairs , when the doorbell rang . If the courthouse had still been open , Gertrude probably would've dragged them there . Jensina took the agreement and felt a bit of relief , but then a sharp noise from upstairs made her pause . Susana hurried downstairs , looking pale , hesitated , and said , " Mrs. Hardwick … " " What happened ? " Jensina asked . " Josh broke the family photo in your room , Susana said . Jensina initially thought it was just a frame , but then Susana handed her some pieces . 10:22 0.8 % < Chapter 2 Jensina's face drained of color . When she was five , her parents died , leaving only this photo . It was her last connection to them . Jensina clutched the torn photo and strode upstairs . Juanita was just stepping out of Jensina's room , holding Joshua . Jensina looked at her coldly . " Juanita , you were in my room . " " Coleman said this would be my home now . " Joshua , not happy , shouted , " Uncle Coleman also promised to look after us like Dad did . " Jensina saw that Juanita wasn't planning to discipline Joshua and laughed . She looked at Joshua . " Do you know what Santa will do to you for Christmas in a few days ? " Joshua lifted his chin . " He'll bring me lots of candy ! " 2 2 5 2 2 2 2 2 7 1 1 " Wrong , " Jensina shook her head , smiling . " He'll cut off the hands you used to break my photo , bake them , and feed them to the monster . " After all , Joshua was just a child . He hugged Juanita tightly and cried . Juanita frowned at Jensina , " He's just a kid . You don't have to scare him . " " You can't even raise a child properly . Besides extreme sports , what else can you do ? " Jensina said and quickly returned to her room . Late in the evening , the black Maybach drove into the yard .. Menu Jensina , standing by the floor - to - ceiling window , watched as Coleman got out of the car and Joshua , pulling Juanita , hurried to meet him . They looked like a perfect family of three . After a while , there was a noise at the door . Coleman entered , wearing a white shirt , and walked over , his voice stern . " You frightened Josh ? " " Yes , " Jensina admitted . She pointed to the item on the nightstand . " He destroyed my family photo . " Coleman was taken aback , realizing he didn't have the full story . He reached out his arm to comfort her , but she dodged . Thinking she was still upset , he softened his tone . " It's my fault . I apologize for Josh . Is there anything you need ? I'll make it right . " . Jensina smiled , " Anything ? " Coleman apologized sincerely , " Absolutely . " " I want these two things , " she said , handing over the prepared agreement . Coleman took it , glanced at the property contract , and signed immediately . The second one , he flipped straight to the signature page and signed quickly . He was always generous with money . After signing , he sighed , put his arm around Jensina's waist , and pulled her close . " Sina , how did Stanley teach you to be so sweet and sensible ? " Jensina felt uneasy and was about to push him away when there was a knock on the half - closed door . Seeing who was there , Coleman almost instinctively pushed Jensina away . Jensina , was taken aback but then understood . He wanted to show his loyalty to his lover , so he could go three years without being intimate with her . Now that they were under the same roof , he had to act even better . 10.22 0.8 % < Chapter 2 Juanita sounded a bit helpless . " Cole , Josh is upset and wants you to put him to sleep . " I'll be right there , " Coleman agreed and then looked at Jensina . " You're not upset , are you ? " " No , " she said . As he turned to leave , Jensina took out the second document , the divorce agreement . She was indeed well - behaved and sensible . Even for the divorce , she was the one who prepared the papers and gave them to him . Menu < Chapter 3
