His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 713

"Bella, you just don't get it. It's all smoke and mirrors. If he truly loved her, why'd he flaunt a mistress around back then? Men and women aren't the same. If a guy doesn't love a woman, he won't suddenly fall for her just because she's a good wife and mom. At best, she’s just someone he feels okay leaving at home."

To Kate, Eliza was nothing more than a piece of decoration.

Just like Renee, in the end, she couldn't compete with the thrill of something new.

Allysha knew that when it came to money, Casper was leagues ahead of Daniel.

But in Falconridge, Daniel was a big shot.

What's a man's worst nightmare?

Getting cheated on, even the idea is unbearable.

When men turn cold, they can be way harsher than women.

Allysha figured Kate was playing with fire, and she'd only end up burning herself.

"Maybe Casper really has turned over a new leaf. I've seen his wife; she's pretty and seems sweet and sensible. If you really wanted something from him, why didn't you make a move earlier? Now's definitely not the best time."

That year, word had it that Casper's wife had an accident.

The mistress vanished without a trace.

At such a fragile time, Kate didn't manage to swoop in.

Now his wife is back, and he's returned to his family.

But Kate's competitive streak was ignited.

"Liz, I'd advise you not to push your luck. If Daniel finds out you're still thinking about Casper, with his clout, he could make your life miserable."

"If I can get him to divorce and marry me, I can definitely walk away unscathed. Don't worry about it."

Kate was sure of herself, watching a couple in the distance.

Suddenly, she had a plan.

"Come on, Bella. Let's head over to the lake."

Once they were gone.

Casper kept watching the deer with Eliza for a bit.

Then, hand in hand, they made their way to the lake.

The lakeside was clear of anyone waiting to row boats.

"How about we go rowing?" Eliza suggested, glancing at Casper to see what he thought.

He was more than happy to join her, "Sure thing."

They hopped into a small boat, Casper rowing while Eliza soaked up the scenery.
