Bound by Magic, Married by Fate novel Chapter 7

"Honey, who is she?" Chloe inquired.

Cecil panicked and nudged the woman inside. "Go inside first. I need to have a word with her."

Chloe wouldn't budge. "Not until you tell me who she is."

LilAnnieB butted in, "I'm Cecil's girlfriend."

"Yeah, right. I'm his wife. We're legally married. How could he possibly have a girlfriend?" Chloe sneered.

Cecil stepped in. "Stop arguing, both of you."

LilAnnieB demanded, "Cecil, when did you get married? Weren't you planning to take me home to meet your parents at the end of the year?"

Chloe fumed. "What's the meaning of this, Cecil? Is this bitch your side piece?"

"Who are you calling a side piece? You're the side piece! I'll let everyone in the livestream see what a homewrecker you really are!" LilAnnieB seethed.

Chloe hissed, "How dare you film me? I'll beat you to a pulp, you shameless vixen!"

The sting of a slap filled the air, and the phone fell, its screen instantly going dark. Their argument raged on, but Valerie no longer cared to listen.

At this moment, more than 900 people were watching her stream.

StaRyn, who had been lurking in the livestream, asked, "Was everything we saw real?"

Valerie answered, "All the men she'll run into before 32 are duds. She won't meet her soulmate until July of that year. She's the kind of person who loses her head over love.

"Fortunately, she's not too unlucky. After going through all these ordeals, she'll mature, and her life will take a positive turn."

Viewer A: "I seriously think this is scripted."

Viewer B: "Me too."

Viewer C: "Me three."

Valerie clicked on their profiles one by one. "Zero2Hero, even with all those beauty filters, I can still see the rough patches on your skin. You've already been to jail once. Stop beating your wife and kids before it's too late."

Zero2Hero: "How did you know I've been to jail?"

Valerie then looked at the second profile. "CrownMe, stay away from places with water in the coming days. It could put your life in danger."

CrownMe: "You've got to be kidding me… I just bought water park tickets!"

Valerie clicked on a few more viewers and gave a few quick readings. Before long, the livestream had ballooned from three viewers to well over eight thousand.

StaRyn never left. Noticing the comments, he joined in too.

StaRyn: "Grandmaster, if I cheer for you now, can I still get a slot?"

MaskAgent: "Count me in!"

Valerie announced, "I'll stream on the first of each month. I charge 200 dollars for each reading, and it's first-come, first-served. See you next month!"

With that, she ended the stream. Nearly ten thousand viewers were instantly booted out.

Valerie transferred her earnings to her bank account, keeping half for herself and donating the other half to a charity foundation.

That afternoon, Lucius arrived at the courthouse right on time in his SUV. Valerie was already there, wearing a baseball cap and a black mask, bundled up from head to toe.

When she spotted him getting out of his car, she waved the documents in her hand. "Let's get this over with." She seemed even more eager than he was to end their marriage.

To avoid attention, Lucius had dismissed his bodyguards to a distance. They entered the courthouse in succession. Apart from a few curious glances at their striking looks, no one paid them much mind.

Before processing the divorce agreement, a clerk in her 40s, Mary Kirk, tried to mediate. "Every couple hits bumps in the road. Can't you work it out instead of splitting up?"

Valerie answered, "He assaults me!"
