The Cherished Wife



"I heard that it starts at seven, but I think we shouldn't arrive so early. By the way, I was told that Winter would be there as well." Rowena did not sound too happy about it. "I thought that little bitch would never dare show her face. She must be up to no good if she's attending the reunion as well."

Noelle could not help laughing when she heard Rowena's tone. "It's going to be fine. We're all classmates, after all." Despite her reassurance, Noelle knew that someone like Winter would never let Noelle get out

of the reunion unscathed.

This reminded Noelle of her university days when they ended up in the same class as Noelle had great results while Winter did badly.

Noelle remembered how Winter would always try to outdo her. Whenever Noelle did better than Winter, Noelle would end up being yelled at by Jade. Jade would always berate Noelle for embarrassing Winter.

She remembered the tone her mother had used on her when she was being berated. Noelle was young then and could not understand why her mother would treat her that way.

Not long after, Winter stopped schooling for a while to shoot overseas. That was when Noelle finally knew how it felt like to finally have a chance to breathe. The two years Winter was away were the best years of Noelle's life. Even though Winter's friends would occasionally give Noelle trouble, it was still the best life Noelle could ask for.

Mindy was the one who had arranged the location for the classmate reunion. She used to be their class representative and had great leadership skills. Even though she was a woman, Mindy's capability was on par with a man. She had even been president of the student union.

Noelle heard that Mindy's husband came from a family of bureaucrats and she led an exciting and respected life. Her husband was a prominent figure in Brookville and they were able to have the classmate reunion at The Majestic Lounge because of him. Everyone felt proud about it.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The reunion was at seven, and

Mindy had arrived early to handle the last arrangements. Mindy's husband Spencer Sabian, worked at the Land and Resources Bureau. He apparently knew the president of The Majestic Lounge, which was why it only took one word from Spencer to get a booking there.

Mindy greeted everyone who arrived as they began to show up. Their classmates were not the only ones Mindy invited; she had also invited some of the university's more renowned high achievers from other

courses.

She had also informed everyone that they could bring their partners, which made this reunion especially exciting.

Noelle, Rowena, and Teresa arrived

at about eight. Mindy had managed to book an entire floor of The Majesty Lounge for the reunion, and everyone was talking happily about their university days. They talked about their dreams back then and how they had wondered about their future even though they were full of hope.

Some of them were talking about their recent achievements, with most of them showing off. It was a classmate reunion, after all, and it was a place to flaunt themselves.

A random person suddenly mentioned Noelle and Winter and began to talk about how everyone in the university tried to date Noelle and Winter.

“I heard that Winter is a popular celebrity right now. Remember how Noelle was the popular one in school? She seemed to have disappeared after that."

"That's right. I remember how we voted for who between both sisters is the true campus belle!"
