Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3678

Rowena lowered her head, burying her face in her hands as she wept bitterly. Why had she become like this? Why didn't Barton understand?

For years, she had waited for him to divorce Miranda and finally give her and their son a legitimate status. But half her life had vanished—her best years completely wasted—and she had absolutely nothing to show for it!

She was doomed to be the hidden mistress, forever lurking in the shadows. Barton never allowed her to be in the same room as Miranda. Even if they accidentally crossed paths, she was expected to immediately turn and hide. What was she? She had less dignity than a servant!

Trapped in this endless, hopeless waiting game, the prime of her life had been entirely consumed. How could he possibly expect her to remain kind and open-minded?

The hatred inside Rowena festered and burned. "Everything Miranda has should have been mine! I've compromised and stepped aside for over twenty years. I am done playing the victim! Stop pushing me, Barton, or I swear to God, I don't know what I'm capable of!"

With that, she slammed the phone down, ending the call.

Barton immediately called back, but she declined it without a second thought. She had swallowed her pride for two decades; she was finally allowing herself to act out!

She was done forcing herself to appease him every single second of the day!

Unable to get through, Barton sent her a text message: *I won't pursue what you and Kai did. I will continue to treat you both exactly as I always have. But I have one absolute condition: You are not to lay a finger on Miranda!*

Staring at the screen, a mockingly bitter smile twisted Rowena's lips as tears streamed relentlessly down her face. Half-laughing, half-sobbing, her expression morphed into a terrifying mask of twisted agony.

The man she had begged and sacrificed everything for had ultimately fallen in love with another woman!

Miranda!

She had stolen the life that rightfully belonged to Rowena. She had stolen absolutely everything!

Even if it killed her, Rowena swore she would drag Miranda down to hell with her!

*

Monday.

When Marina stepped out of her apartment that morning, she saw Carson standing in the hallway chatting with Lucy.
