Chasing the Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 80
GENERAL POV Isabella sat on the edge of her bed. She was staring at her reflection in the tall mirror opposite, her thoughts running wild and uncertain. Lilian was actually in the living room, having visited hours ago to keep her company. They had shared a light meal of grilled salmon and a fresh garden salad, laughing over wine glasses in an attempt to escape the heaviness that she has been struggling with for some time now. But after the meal, when Isabella saw that she had begun to scroll through her phone, she had excused herself, feeling the need to withdraw and think. She sighed deeply. Her mind was now replaying the rumors that had been circulating recently, whispered behind closed doors at her hospital, and openly exchanged in hushed tones at Michael’s company. She precisely recalled the one of yesterday, the meaningful stares from her colleagues, the sly smirks of the hospital staff, and the way one of the nurses, Megan by name, had said to her friend in the breakr

ISABELLA’S POV Just like yesterday, I remember meeting James in the hospital after my motorcycle accident. It was love at first sight. We got married two days later without informing my family or telling James the truth about my family background. Today was our 2nd wedding anniversary, and I was ready to reveal the whole truth. "Not today of all days."I murmured, glancing at the clock with growing impatience. It was fifteen minutes past 9 p.m., and James was not yet back. Another thing that was growing was my incessant fatigue. I was not too fit; I had been feeling weak for some time now, my throat itched, and even my breathing was labored. Yet, I had neglected all these to look good, cook, and decorate the room just so we could have a perfect 2nd wedding anniversary dinner. Just then, my phone rang, breaking my train of thought—it was my father, Elliot Harrington. “Isabella, your mom said today is your second anniversary with your husband,” Dad said, his voice lower than usual.

Isabella's pov “Who…who is that?” James flinched and stuttered in a sharp, frantic voice, jumping down from the couch and pulling away from the woman he was on top of. “What's going on here?” I mouthed with teary eyes, my voice losing its strength as I looked from naked James to the strange lady in disbelief, who was also half nude. James grabbed his trousers from the armrest and quickly slipped them on, while the lady tactfully picked her gown from the floor, throwing it on as well. “What do you mean by what? I.. I was just drunk, that's all.” James said in defense, fastening his belt around his waist and zipping up with quick fingers. “Uggh!” The lady with him let out a tired sound, rolling her eyes weakly. “How could you do this to me, James?” I whispered, pointing at him with deep hurt. “After all I have done for you?” James kept his face stony; the expression on his face was guilty but nonchalant. I opened my mouth in a bid to express even more, but the hostile

MICHAEL'S POV I spread my legs under the long oak dining table and readjusted myself on my seat to feel more comfortable. I wasn't the only one who had stopped eating. As a matter of fact, everyone at the table had stopped eating the moment Grandfather cleared his throat twice, dropped his cutlery, and rubbed his hands together. It was a common habit of his to always do that whenever he had something very important to say, particularly at such a gathering. After Grandfather cleared his throat, everyone looked towards the central dividing point of the table where he was sitting. And when I say everyone, I mean from my father and mother to my doting grandmother, Lady Anne, then finally to Gregory, my cousin, and his mother, Aunt Elsa. Her husband, my father's elder brother, was late. He had died in a plane crash about 8 years ago. "It is of no doubt that life has indeed been kind to us in this family." Grandfather finally began with his speech. "Aside from the unfort

ISABELLA'S POVI nodded painfully, keeping a tight hold on my tears as I signed. I was still doubting the experience, still blinking and feeling like I was going to wake up anytime soon. Then I turned around and made to leave for the bedroom, but the quick, brash voice of James's mother stopped me midway."Heading to where?"I closed and opened my eyes, inhaled, then turned around measuredly, tears now gleaming from my eyes."Need to get my things."Naomi instantly let out a short, disbelieving laugh before she asked;"Wait, your things? From where?" She queried further with her hands spread out.I let out a surprised gasp before I answered with "From the bedroom." My eyes were already dancing about in confusion, wondering where she was headed with this.She let out another short laugh before finally folding her arms to say;"You must be joking, young lady. Because you ceased to own anything in this house after you signed those documents right there.""What!?" I exclaimed loudl

Isabella's POV Many seconds after my call with Owen came to an end, I still had my phone hanging against my ear. Whoever it was that made Owen sound so worried must have been really close to him, and that also meant that there was a possibility that I knew him too. I lowered myself onto the bench and closed my eyes momentarily, trying to dig up random images of Owen's old friends from the past. I scanned my mind for old memories of high school and even college days, but no tangible one readily came to mind. "Whoever it is, dear God, keep him safe. At least for my brother's sake." I murmured prayerfully under my breath. After the little moment of supplication, I rose to my feet again as the reality of my present situation dawned on me once more. I remembered that I was still homeless and that I had yet to figure out a way out of this conundrum. The worst part was that, since I was finding it hard to reach out to my mother, who ordinarily should have been the easiest to reac

JAMES'POV I heaved a sigh of relief after my mother and Celine returned from the gate without Salindra. It felt like a dream; I had expected that she would put up a little bit more struggle than that. I remember replaying this particular scene several times in my head, and this was as far back as six months ago. I had imagined it to be so much messier than how it just played out. However, I knew it was something I needed to do; it was just common sense. Since the day I met Zoey, my life has continued to change for the better. I still wonder how I was promoted from an ordinary doctor to a head of department just by her dad's influence. Who knows the magnitude of the promotion waiting to see if I should marry her? "Thanks, Mum." I appreciated her with an indebted smile as she re-entered through the sitting room door with Celine. She waved me off and took her seat on the sofa. "Now you can both live your lives happily and in peace." She said. "And as for you, James, sto

The elevator ascended to the top floor of the hospital. Inside it, I was standing in between my parents, my mind lost in a train of thoughts as I replayed the little muted scene that just took place back at the entrance. I was replaying the shock that had compressed the face of that traitor over and over again in my mind.“If only he and his new wife could tell what was coming.” I thought with a small smile.My father, Elliot Harrington, reached out from behind and placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder; his touch felt warm and grounding.“Take a deep breath.” He whispered. He must have mistaken my enthusiasm for anxiety, or perhaps maybe I was also a bit anxious.My mother, Sophie Harrington, rubbed my arm gently. The air around her was composed of authority. She has been a pillar of strength since I returned home.As the doors slid open, we stepped into the spacious, elegantly furnished conference room. The walls were lined with blue and white patterns, and the large windows offer
