30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 20
“Hmm?” Jason's voice, mellifluous and soothing, answered with a touch of
warmth and a hint of flirtation.
The couple seemed to have an unspoken understanding, and before Paula could
even process what was happening, she was left dumbfounded once again.
Estrella was doing this on purpose. Paula was sure of it. But there was Jason,
playing right along with her, responding so suggestively.
“Jason,” Paula said incredulously, staring at him as if he were a stranger. This
wasn't the
Jason she once knew.
Snapping back to reality, she turned to Estrella. “Estrella, you must have drugged
Jason. I was going to let you maintain your image and not call you out in front of
everyone for
but you're just too arrogant. You don't even care about Jason's
your s
feelings.”
With that, Paula whipped out her phone, scrolled through her gallery, and thrust it
at Jason. “Don't be fooled by Estrella’s prim and proper act, she’s been cheating
on you. I've got proof of her indiscretions right here. Take a look if you don’t
believe me.”
Paula's outburst drew the attention of the surrounding crowd.
Jason, hands casually pocketed, glanced at Paula's phone with detached
interest. The pictures indeed showed Estrella looking a bit too cozy with another
man.
At that moment, Paula glared at Estrella and seethed, “You're done for this time,
Estrella.
Estrella lowered her gaze and glanced at the phone, then chuckled disdainfully. “I
thought for a moment you'd actually caught me in bed with someone.”
Her nonchalance only made Paula's face redden with anger, “Jason, can brazen
she is? Just listen to her. It's clear she’s been messing around.”
you believe how
Paula was beside herself with fury, but Jason, with a calm gaze, said, “The man
in those pictures is me.”
“What?” Paula was stunned. “That's you in the pictures, Jason?”
Shocked, Paula looked closely at the phone and, indeed, the silhouette bore a
striking resemblance to Jason. “Jason, how can this be.” Paula stuttered, at a
loss for words.
Estrella, with her arms crossed, smirked, “Paula, if you can't even recognize
Jason, I guess I overestimated your fondness for my husband”
The crowd snickered at Estrella's comment.
When Paula first brandished the phone, Estrella had immediately recognized the
photos from the day she was discharged from the hospital and Jason had come
to pick her up.

Estrella genuinely thought Paula wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
“Estrella, you...” With a pale face, Paula swung at Estrella in a fit of rage. “Did
you just mock me? I'll teach you a lesson.”
But before Paula's hand could make contact, Jason had intercepted her arm.
Turning to see Jason holding her back, Paula's eyes welled up, ready to protest,
but Jason coldly released her. “You're not even worth touching her.”
His protectiveness brought tears to Paula's eyes. “Jason, don’t be fooled by
Estrella. She's no good, and her marrying you is just...”
She was cut off by Jason's ringing phone. Disinterested in her drama, Jason
turned and answered the call.

Meanwhile, whispers spread among the onlookers, with those in the know
informing the clueless that Estrella had been married to Jason for two years.
Paula looked wronged, and Estrella took two steps forward, leaning slightly
towards Paula, whispering in her ear. “Thank you so much for making my
marriage to Jason public, Paula.”
Not many knew about her and Jason's marriage, but thanks to Paula's scene,
that was likely to change.
As Estrella spoke, Paula retorted defiantly, “So what if you're married? People
get divorced all the time. Who's to say you won't be next?”
Estrella’s smile didn't falter. “Better to have loved and lost than never to have
loved at all.
Paula was at a loss for words as Estrella gently brushed a strand of hair from her
face. “Save your energy. The more you struggle, the more Jason will side with
me.”
Paula clamped her mouth shut and stormed off in search of her parents.
Once Paula left, Jason ended his call. He turned to Estrella. “I've got to head out
for a bit.”
Seeing his demeanor, Estrella knew without asking that the call was from
Serene. She caught his arm, “Do you really have to go?”
Jason's gaze softened just slightly, “Some one will come pick you up later.” With
that, he gently disengaged from her grasp.
Estrella let out a self-deprecating laugh in her mind. There was no point in
holding on to someone whose heart was elsewhere.
She watched Jason depart, and remembering a small victory over Paula, Estrella
allowed herself a sarcastic smile.
Once Jason had left, Estrella found a corner to settle down and check her phone
for legal documents. The banquet hall suddenly erupted with excitement.

“Korey.”

In the next second, she froze. Korey was back.

“Just got off the plane. Mr. Hector, I heard you were celebrating your birthday, so
I came straight here.”
“You're thoughtful, kid.”
“It's the least I could do, especially since our families share so much history.”
“Indeed.”

She had arrived with Jason, but he
had left early, leaving her stranded.
Not in the mood to wait for someone
to come pick her up, Estrella decided
to hail a cab on her own. However, at
this hour, it seemed like an eternity
before one would become available.

“Estrella.” As she lingered by the hotel entrance, a voice unexpectedly reached
her ears.
