“What? Changed your mind about the divorce?” Cecilia sneered. “You’d better think it through. There are plenty of women lining up to marry Chase–young, beautiful ones. The only thing you’ve done is give him a son. Other than that, there’s nothing special about you. Now that Nina’s back, it’s time you stepped aside.”
Katrina’s anger flared instantly. “You want me to divorce Chase and make room for Nina? Keep dreaming! I’m telling you–the only Mrs. Mercer will be me, Katrina! I’ve given so much to this family, and now you think you can just toss me aside? Not a chance!”
With that, she stormed out of the bedroom.
Watching her lose control like that only made Cecilia more impatient.
Honestly, what was Chase dragging his feet for? He should’ve divorced her ages ago.
Cecilia was about to leave when something on the floor caught her eye–a torn invitation.
She bent down, picked it up, and looked it over. It was for Nina’s birthday.
“Right… tomorrow’s her birthday.”
A smile spread across her face. The fact that Nina had invited Chase could only mean one thing–she still had feelings for him.
Perfect. Once Katrina was out of the picture and Nina married into the Mercer family, they’d be set for an even brighter future.
Barely containing her excitement, Cecilia immediately called Chase.
The phone rang twice before he answered, his voice edged with impatience. “What is it?”
“Chase! Is that how you speak to me?” she snapped.
Realizing it was his mother, he still sounded worn out. “Did Katrina ask you to call me?”
“What does Katrina have to do with this? I’m calling to tell you to get ready for Nina’s birthday tomorrow!”
The more Cecilia spoke, the more excited she became, as if she could already see the Mercer family’s rise ahead.
“Katrina tore up the invitation.”

“So what if she did? With the relationship between our family and the Tanns, do we really need an invitation to attend a birthday party?” Cecilia dismissed it outright. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. You just bring a gift tomorrow and make Nina come around, got it?”
Sitting in his office, Chase felt something stir at her words.
If he could win Nina back… he wouldn’t hesitate to divorce Katrina.
That afternoon, Nina was picked up by a Mercer family car and taken to their new residence.
She glanced at the grander, more luxurious villa and gave a faint smile.
Looks like the Mercers had been doing quite well for themselves.
“Nina! You’re finally here. It’s been five years–I’ve missed you so much.”
Cecilia hurried over, beaming, as if she’d completely forgotten that Nina had bought the Mercer family’s villa five years ago.
“Mrs. Mercer, it’s been five years. What made you think of reaching out to me all of a sudden?” Nina asked, smiling, though the warmth didn’t reach her eyes.
“Well, I realized your birthday is tomorrow, but the invitation was accidentally lost by the maid. So I was hoping you could give me two more. I’ll make sure Chase and I come celebrate with you no matter what.”
As she spoke, Cecilia took Nina’s hand and led her inside.
The Mercer living room was spotless, as if it had just been cleaned.
The Mercer home was just as lavish as it had been before.
