BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW “why don’t you join us for breakfast?”
As I approached the sitting area, a knot tightened in my stomach. Every step felt heavier than the last, weighed down by the uncertainty of what awaited me. Samuel’s presence here was like a dark shadow creeping into the light of my new life, threatening to pull me back into the darkness I had fought so hard to escape. I had prepared myself for anger, for accusations, for the cold, bitter man I knew all too well. But nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I stepped into the room.There he was, sitting comfortably on one of the plush chairs in my grandmother’s opulent sitting room. And he was smiling. Not the usual smirk of mockery or disdain, but a genuine smile—a warmth that I had never seen on his face before. It was unsettling, to say the least. The man who had only ever shown me contempt was now looking at me as if he were an entirely different person.“Good morning, Anna,” Samuel greeted me, his voice soft and warm, as if we were old friends. “You look lovely today.”
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Resilient Anna
The day was warm but carried a sense of anticipation. I had been pacing around the mansion since morning, preparing for Alice's visit. My grandmother, who had shown me nothing but kindness, insisted on meeting Alice, the one friend who had been there through the worst of times. It felt surreal, bringing Alice into this space that had seen so much of my suffering, and even more so to have her meet Samuel again—my tormentor, my husband, in name only.Alice arrived just before sunset, her hair catching the last rays of light. As soon as she walked through the door, I felt a wave of relief and anxiety all at once. She greeted me with a tight hug, her smile reassuring. "You look tense," she whispered, pulling back to look at me closely."I’m just… it’s complicated, Alice." I looked away, not sure how to explain the tight knot in my chest.Alice gave a small nod, her eyes scanning the room. "I’ll handle it," she said simply, a spark of determination in her voice. And just like that, I knew
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "This is between Anna and me. It’s none of your…
It was early morning, and the Edgewood mansion was as grand and quiet as ever. My days had become a routine of endless learning sessions, as Grandma had taken it upon herself to ensure that I received the education I had missed out on. After realizing that I had never gone beyond basic schooling, Mrs. Margaret Edgewood was adamant about fixing this gap.She arranged for the best tutors to homeschool me. It felt overwhelming at first, but deep down, I knew she meant well. I spent hours every day pouring over books, studying subjects I had never imagined I would need to know. It was exhausting, but also liberating in its way. Each lesson was like a step forward into a future that I was slowly reclaiming.While I spent my days buried in books, Samuel… well, Samuel was doing what he did best—enjoying the privileges of the Edgewood name. By marriage alone, he had access to the wealth, power, and influence that came with being associated with our family. And he reveled in it. The title of "
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "Leaving in a hurry, Samuel?
The tension was palpable as Samuel stormed out of Anna’s room, his footsteps echoing angrily down the hallway of the grand Edgewood mansion. His mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions—frustration, shame, and the unmistakable sting of Alice’s revelation. Lara. Pregnant. The words still buzzed in his head, and now, he had to find a way to regain control of the situation before it slipped completely out of his hands.As he rounded a corner, his path was blocked by Henry, Mrs. Edgewood’s personal assistant and the man who handled much of the estate’s day-to-day affairs. Henry had always been an unassuming figure, quietly efficient and fiercely loyal to Mrs. Edgewood and her granddaughter, Anna. But there was something in his posture tonight—an edge to his gaze that Samuel hadn’t noticed before."Leaving in a hurry, Samuel?" Henry’s voice was calm, but there was a weight behind it, like a predator waiting to strike.Samuel scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Not that it’s any of your busines
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "Anna! Help me! Anna!"
The evening was cozy, a soft golden glow from the lamp illuminating the guest apartment where Alice was supposed to be staying. But over the past two weeks, she had barely spent a night in her assigned room, choosing instead to curl up with me in my bedroom like we used to when we were younger. Those nights, full of whispered conversations and shared memories, had become a source of comfort in the midst of everything else.Alice stretched her legs out on the plush carpet, leaning against the edge of my bed, her face framed by the soft glow. “These past two weeks have been beautiful, Anna,” she said, a smile playing on her lips. “I’m so happy for you. It feels like you’re finally starting to live again.”I couldn’t help but smile back, even though her words stirred something bittersweet within me. The truth was, these last few weeks had been a small escape from the heaviness of my reality—filled with laughter and warmth that had been missing for far too long. Alice’s presence had remind
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW "I need to divorce him "
Alice stood up quickly, her eyes wide with alarm. “What is he doing?” she asked, her voice tense.“I don’t know,” I whispered, my mind racing as I moved toward the door. Panic surged through me. Despite everything Samuel had put me through, the sound of his voice—filled with fear—set off every instinct to run to him.The night had been quiet, filled with the warmth of Alice’s company and the shared memories of our youth. But all of that shifted in an instant when the door burst open, and Samuel stumbled into the room, his face pale and panicked.“Anna, please,” he gasped, his eyes wild as he moved toward me. “I need you to talk to Mrs. Edgewood for me. I didn’t mean it.”He spoke as if he were being questioned, but I hadn’t said a word. The room was frozen in silence, the only sound his frantic breathing and the pounding of my heart.I stood there, rooted in place, staring at him with a mixture of confusion and dread. What was he talking about? What had he done this time?My mind raced
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW “It’s time to let go.”
It had been a week since Samuel's panicked plea and his desperate attempt to drag me into whatever mess he had caused. In that time, Mrs. Edgewood had been silent. Not a single word about Samuel’s outburst or whatever had happened in the hallway. Her silence was unnerving.I tried to push it out of my mind, focusing on the routine of my responsibilities, but the uncertainty loomed like a shadow over me. What had Samuel said to her? And why hadn’t she brought it up?I was in the study, going over some paperwork, trying to distract myself, when there was a soft knock on the door. The maid, timid as always, peeked her head in.“Miss Anna,” she said, her voice low. “Mrs. Edgewood is asking for you.”My heart skipped a beat. It felt like the moment I had been dreading for days had finally arrived. Nodding, I set the papers down, smoothing my dress as if it could somehow calm my nerves.“Thank you,” I murmured, rising from my seat.As I made my way to Mrs. Edgewood’s sitting room, I couldn’
BILLIONAIRE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW “Just be calm,”
After the long conversation with Grandma in her room, I felt a weight settle on my chest. There were so many things she had told me, things that made me realize just how much my life was tangled with Samuel’s, whether I liked it or not. But more than that, I had to face the truth: I needed to talk with him. I couldn’t keep avoiding him forever. My future, and the care of Mrs. Idris, hung in the balance.Walking down the hall, I found myself thinking over every possible scenario of how this conversation might go. Could I stay calm enough to get through it? Could I finally get Samuel to understand that his presence in my life was unwanted and that I had to move on? But then, what if he reacted badly? What if he exploded the way he used to? I couldn’t afford for things to go wrong, not with Mrs. Idris in the nursing home, her care under my guardianship. Samuel could easily make things difficult. He always knew how to disrupt my life in ways that hurt the most.As I made my way downstairs
