Mistress on My Husband's Phone Novel by Rina Novita

I felt like I had just been struck by lightning. I just couldn’t believe what Uncle Benny had just said. How could I marry a guy I just met yesterday?

“Sorry, Uncle Benny, can you repeat that?” I asked, hoping it was just a prank.

“Well, 1, your late father, and Troy’s late father were friends since college,” Uncle Benny began to explain.

“Your dad and Troy’s dad were successful in building their companies. They had agreed to merge their companies by having their children marry each other. And so, they made a will, Uncle Benny explained in detail.

noticed Troy smiling the whole time.

“Troy, did you already know about this?” I asked, suspicious.

“Yes, that’s true. I’ve been keeping an eye on my future wife for a while. Sarah, it’s time for you to be happy. After suffering so long with that useless man, I promise to make you happy for the rest of my life. Marry me,” Troy said.

I was stunned, looking at Troy who was suddenly standing right in front of me. My heart was pounding. It fluttered when our eyes met.

Troy was too perfect in my eyes. Surely many women out there wanted him. Could I handle the jealousy? Would Troy really make me happy for the rest of my life?

“Ahem… ahem… There are still a lot of people here, boss. Save the gazing for later when you’re alone,” Bradley interrupted, snapping us out of it.

We both felt awkward and sat back down.

“I understand that you need time to think. That’s okay. But I’ve known Troy and his family for a long time. He’s the right man for you. After your divorce paperwork is done, you should get married,” Uncle Benny said.

I was silent, digesting Uncle Benny’s words. The pain and disappointment from my marriage with Derrick still lingered. I didn’t feel ready to start a new marriage.

“Uncle Benny, let’s leave it to Sarah. Give her time to think and decide. But I believe she’ll accept me in the end,” Troy said while smiling at me.

How could I resist Troy’s incredible charm that had started to stir my heart since last night? But this time, I couldn’t be hasty. I didn’t want to be disappointed a second time.

“Good morning, sorry I’m late.” Albert appeared at the door. He looked pale and weak.

“Albert, I’m sorry I asked you to come today. You look really pale. I’ll take you to the doctor later, okay?” I said, moving to sit next to him.

Albert just stayed silent, which was unusual for him. Maybe he was still very dizzy. I felt guilty for making him come to the office today.

“Let’s continue the meeting. Excuse me.” Uncle Benny got up and shook hands with each of us.

The meeting continued with discussions about the collaboration between my company and Peterson Group. Again, I felt guilty because Albert was mostly silent this time.

When the meeting ended, Troy and his team said their goodbyes. The office. was abuzz as Troy walked past the employees toward the exit. I couldn’t imagine marrying him later. Could Troy resist the temptation of all the beautiful and classy women out there?

“Albert, come with me, okay?” I asked after finishing all my work.

“Where to?”

“To the doctor. You need to get checked out. Your face is so pale. Come on, let’s take my car.” I grabbed Albert’s hand and half–forced him to come with me. Surprisingly, he followed without any protest. Not like usual.

During the drive, Albert was mostly silent. His behavior seemed odd to me.
