In the vibrant city, rows of century-old buildings stood tall, their grandeur exuding timeless charm.

The architectural design boasted elegance, while the lavish decorations added an extravagant touch.

Owning such a little mansion was undoubtedly a symbol of status, and these influential people often host private feasts there for celebrities in Duefron.

Unfortunately, these exclusive banquets were not accessible to the common folk.

The Smith family, newcomers to prosperity in Duefron, desired to befriend the Fowler family. However, Juliette was not enthusiastic about social engagements and Korbyn's priority was caring for their grandchildren. Hence, the Smiths set their sights on Rena.

Despite Rena's divorce from Waylen, it was common knowledge in Duefron that Korbyn held her in high regard.

Rena went home to change into a sophisticated black dress, which accentuated her purity and allure, showcasing her slender waist.

The gathering being a private banquet, Rena recognized most of the attendees.

To her surprise, the renowned actress, Mary, was among the guests.

Anod of acknowledgment passed between Rena and Mary before Rena mingled with the rich ladies, holding a cocktail in hand.

A sense of happiness enveloped Rena; this rare moment of relaxation was a welcome respite after the demands of being a single mother.

Outside the mansion, a black car pulled to a stop, and Waylen leaned against it, enveloped in the darkness of his attire, his occasional puffs of smoke blending seamlessly into the night.

At midnight, Waylen extinguished his cigarette and made his way towards the mansion.

The guard recognized him and granted him easy entry, aware that Waylen was the person his boss sought to impress.

Inside, extravagance and liveliness pervaded the atmosphere, with a plethora of stars, models, celebrities, and renowned violinists in attendance, making it a splendid affair.

Having grown up in a wealthy family, Waylen was accustomed to such private parties but nothing could prepare him for the sight of Rena.

Rena was engrossed in a card game, leaning against a dark red sofa, accompanied by a popular heartthrob whom ordinary girls admired and who, was now gazing at Rena, looking smitten by her presence.

Radiating playfulness, Rena seemed to have the upper hand in the game.

Her admirer graciously handed her a glass of champagne, and she accepted it with ease.

Clad in black, Waylen's countenance appeared darker than his attire, as he realized that Rena's world extended beyond the realm of marriage.

He felt her life should always be related to him.

After their divorce, her focus had been on taking care of her children.
