Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 156. Naming Her Nephew
Haley's heart skipped a beat.It was too late to turn back.Too late to go back to the car and remain sitting there, wishing he'd disappear.Coming face to face with Liam, she came to a screeching halt, the shock immobilizing her.Liam's expression mirrored the same shock as his eyes widened in astonishment.Then he glanced from her to her parents, suspicion flashing in his eyes.Haley couldn't tell what he was thinking, neither could she tell the assumption in his mind.A sudden look of suspicion flashed in his eyes, followed by betrayal.He stood there, his lips parted but didn't say a word.“Hmph!” Haley's mother scoffed, breaking the momentary silence.Liam was blocking their path, and the woman grabbed Haley's hand. “Let's get out of here.”Without another word, they nudged past him, her mother bumping shoulders with him in fact.But the woman didn't care.Her rage towards Liam was all evident on her face.After what he and his mother did to their family, it was hard to speculate
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 157. Totally Wrong!
Haley instantly became the center of attention, all eyes turning in her direction.Her mother's question hit her, chasing away the distraction.Damnit!Everyone gave her confused looks including Lana who'd been the cause of her distraction. In the heat of the moment, she'd forgotten the conversation they were having in the room, even mentioning Liam's surname, Nash.Of course, Haley would never suggest that name to anyone even in her sleep.The last name on her mind, she detested hearing it or someone mentioning it.How could she ever call her nephew that name?Clearing her throat, Haley let out a nervous laughter. She addressed her mother's question, “No, Mum, you heard me wrong. I mean Ash, not Nash… Ash as in Asher.”Haley's lie hit home.Everyone nodded in understanding, the confusion disappearing from their eyes.In fact, her parents looked relieved, and so was her brother.They must have been suspecting the same thing,That she mentioned the Nash Family's name intentionally.
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 158. His Apology!
~She paused, her shoulders tensing up. Her back was facing him, and Liam couldn't tell her expression.He could only guess that she looked as shocked as he felt right now.Never did he expect those words to be so easy to say.The words which had been weighing heavily on his heart.He'd thought it'd take decades before he would finally be able to say them.He was sorry!Indeed,He shouldn't have mistreated Haley.Of all people, he shouldn't have distrusted her.The only people whom he trusted happened to deceive him.His mother… his father,And Leah!He shouldn't have pushed Haley away when she so desperately wanted him by her side.Now that she was pushing him away…Liam wasn't himself!He'd never been himself ever since he realized his mistake. He should have protected her from his parents' bullying earlier.If he hadn't turned a blind eye to it from the beginning, it wouldn't have led to this.It wouldn't have led to Haley taking this measure to get his parents off her back.Liam
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 159. Never Show Her Face
Liam squeezed the reports, hands trembling, rage coaxing through his nerves.What did his eyes just see?Leah got pregnant earlier than she reported.That filthy woman was pregnant way before they went on that business trip.Yet, she only told him after a few weeks of returning from the trip that she was pregnant, pushing the responsibility onto him. She made him believe he was the only man who had ever touched her.Thinking about it now…Did Liam even touch her?From start to finish, he couldn't remember a single thing.The only thing Liam could remember was waking up next to her.They were both wearing almost nothing, so he concluded something happened between them.Leah affirmed that, crying in grief that he forcefully made a pass at her.So she made it all up!The baby wasn't his.Somehow, Liam was relieved by this revelation. It meant his hands were clean and his morals were intact.However, Who was Leah's baby's real father?It mustn't be his father, right?Desmond and Leah w
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 160. Their Plan!
…At The City's First Hospital.As Haley left the hospital with her parents, her heart raced wilder than before.Her thoughts were in jeopardy, and so was her calm and cool. Liam!She didn't hear him wrong, did she?That man didn't just apologize to her. 'I'm sorry.’That phrase echoed in Haley's mind, occupying her thoughts.Liam said he was sorry. How unbelievable. Haley must have hit her head somewhere and imagined him saying that. She was too shocked at that spot to even react. If she did, wouldn't she have made a fool out of herself?Liam didn't say that word and she'd imagined it. “What's distracting you, Haley?” Her father's voice, suspicious and confused, broke Haley out of her trance. As they stepped into the parking lot, she almost bumped into the man due to not looking ahead. Haley pulled herself together, feigning calmness. Her parents stared at her suspiciously and she breathed inside, faking a smile. “It's nothing.”After all, the couple had been giving her th
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 1. Desperate To Have A Child
Scented candles, champagne, and rose petals… check!Haley strolled across the bedroom.A crimson silk gown hugged her curves, flowing down her ankles, with a daring slit that revealed a glimpse of her slender leg.In the background, a soft melody played, lulling her to give in to the exhaustion from spending the whole day getting ready.The atmosphere was a mix of jasmine and lavender fragrance wafting in the air, the urge to sleep became stronger with each minute that passed by. Going to sleep was impossible though. For twenty-nine days, she'd been anticipating and preparing for tonight. Liam rarely came home. They'd been married for three years, but their relationship was nothing more than a distant coexistence.Her husband was always conveniently busy with work, hardly having time for her. The only proof of their relationship was the intimacy they shared once a month. Tonight marked their third anniversary. As one of the few nights Liam would get intimate with her, everything
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 2. Get A Divorce
She loved him and wanted to have his baby. Was it a crime to ask? A marriage was supposed to be a union of mutual consent where the couple lived harmoniously. But she didn't even have a right to voice out her heart desires.His words fell over her like chilled water, dousing the wine's effect, and dampening her hope. Haley sobered up immediately, grief clutching her heart. “Liam, do you think I married you just for money?”Haley didn't see those words coming from him.Through her actions, her genuine love was obvious. While he spent most nights outside, she maintained a perfect home for him to return to.She neither complained nor demanded his affection, just giving and never taking.Why couldn't he see it?The suspicion in his eyes as he stared at her hurt more than daggers piercing her heart. If only she could read his thoughts- his mind. “What else do you expect me to think!” Liam spat out, unaware of the poisonous effect of his words on her heart. Or maybe he was aware. “Hal
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 3. Run Back And Apologize
…The Next Morning. As Liam ate breakfast in the dining room, the atmosphere was stale and somehow still as if something was amiss. He glanced at the empty chair across from him now and then, his thoughts wiring back to last night.Where was that crazy woman?Was she still inside the bedroom shedding crocodile tears?Spending the whole night in the study room was enough to teach her a lesson. At least, she'd lost the chance of him touching her this month. She would never bring up that ridiculous topic again.Yet, halfway through eating, Liam's indifference turned into a small frown that formed on his face, his eyes darting upstairs. Did she think that starving herself would make him give in and grant her wish?How silly.Liam summoned the maid. “Why isn't Mrs. Nash coming down? Go and get her.”But the maid lingered, her fearful gaze avoiding his eyes.With a hesitant look on her face, she extended a gift box to him. “Actually… M-Mr, Nash. Mrs. Nash left the house an hour ago. She
