Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 43. Fight for Her Man
The voices outside quietened down for some seconds, increasing Haley's confusion. Neither the security man nor the lady spoke again,Until the sounds of footsteps resumed, closer this time.“Where is she!?” Camille barged into the place. “Where is that slut who's been seducing my husband? You'd better come out-”She paused, her gaze snapping to the dining table. Camille staggered and her bag dropped onto the couch, while she let out a loud scream. “Ahhhhh! Oh, my goodness!” Hugging her pregnancy bump, Camille sank onto the couch, her face twisting with pain. “Oh, God! I think my baby's coming!”Standing up, Andrew breathed out an exasperated sigh before sitting beside her. Haley left the dining table too and sat on the lady's other side. “Andy, help!” She cried. “You're alright, Camille.” Sounding helpless, Andrew carefully rubbed her stomach. “You were moving too vigorously and shouting, of course, the baby would be disturbed.”Her pregnancy wasn't so big to expect a baby so so
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 44. In Trouble
Snatching her bag from the couch, Camille fished out her phone to dial a number.Haley could only shake her head, exchanging glances with her brother. What's the use of beating Leah up? Besides, that vixen was pregnant. They could hurt an innocent child. “Hey, Camille… stop.” Haley took the phone from her, carefully. “Calm down, okay?”“Huh? What do you mean I should calm down?” Camille stared at her in disbelief. “Are we just gonna let her go?”If Leah hadn't crossed her path, Haley would never even know that girl existed. Forcing a smile, she replied, “Between Leah and Liam, who deserves more punishment?”Her husband could observe self-control, but he didn't. If his moral compass was correct, he would never touch another woman after the marriage vows they shared. Yes, he didn't love her. But he could be loyal to the vows.“The cheating scumbag deserves to be punished, I guess,” Camille reasoned with her. “Then, I have a great idea!” Her eyes dimmed into menacing slits, and she
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 45. Lifting His Rule
Like drum beats hammering her heart, his hard footsteps resounded as he closed the distance between them. “I thought you were supposed to be living here.” He trapped her by the door, his eyes running over the nightdress she wore. “Where are you coming from?”“None of your business-” Haley gasped and the words died in her throat when he leaned closer. Leaving her no space for breathing, her throat was suddenly parched. “Doing all these to get my attention, huh?” He smirked. “Newsflash! You won.”Haley sucked in a deep breath as his cold lips touched her skin, trailing soft kisses down her cleavage. Pressing her to the door, one hand left her waist, running up her fabric. He hooked a finger on her shoulder straps, pulling it down, and exposing her skin. When the man lifted his head and kissed her lips, sparks exploded in Haley's head. Was this a dream or a nightmare?Craving his touch all the time, she'd had similar dreams before. Lost in his touch, Haley grappled for the reality
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 46. Run Over Her!
No way!Haley didn't even use that much force. The vase was also fragile. Still, Liam was bleeding too much. The mighty man lay on the floor in front of her, his tall frame unmoving. Damn! Was she in trouble now?Fiddling with her phone, Haley's first thought was to call an ambulance. What if she got implicated, though?The police could arrest her and demand a statement. She could spend the rest of her days in jail!Scratch that! It would be heartless of her to just let him bleed to death.Haley turned on her phone, her fingers shaking. Finding her phone's battery dead, she cursed inside, beads of perspirations rolling down her face.What if she informed his assistant? Joye would definitely be faster!Haley took out Liam's phone from his pants pocket. Swallowing a huge gulp of saliva, her fingers shook as she typed in a message to send to his assistant. Then she shot to her feet and fled out of the apartment.“H- Haley- I mean, Mrs-”Haley almost breezed past the caretaker who
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 47. Being The Center of Attention
Haley's palm flew to that spot on her neck, her heart sinking. Apprehension filling up her heart, she dared not stare into the guy's eyes. Damn! William Nash deserved more than a crash in the head! “Ha,uhm… it's just- it's just a mosquito bite.” Haley bit her lips. Quickly, she loosened up her hair, letting it fall over her shoulders to conceal her neck. “That mosquito must be a master at his job.” Daryl cleared his throat, a hint of laughter in his tone. Haley blushed. She stared out of the window and took in a long drag of the air. If she hadn't been so frightened, she wouldn't have instinctively hit Liam with the vase. If only he'd listened to her warning to stay away from her. An awkward silence hung in the air after Daryl's last statement. None of them spoke a word until the car finally pulled over. “You're not lively around my Bro. Hope he's not bullying you.”Haley didn't see his question coming. He must be a very watchful person to detect the tension between her
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 48. Quitting The Job
~A ghost, really?Standing up from his chair, Liam clenched his fists, irritation taking over. “You must be tired of living.”But she stood still, blood draining from her face.As if she'd lost her tongue, her lips parted, her wide eyes glued to his face, unblinking. Haley should have been in the seventh heaven last night when he lifted that rule.Who knew the crazy girl would smash his head with a vase? That spot throbbed with pain, and Liam's hand subconsciously went up to touch it. Was she having mental issues as rumors had it? Last night was the most bizarre experience for Liam. He couldn't believe Haley didn't want him to touch her.“Any last words?” Liam left his desk, still she remained rooted to the spot. He used that opportunity to trap her by the wall. As she flinched away, he couldn't help the subtle smile tugging at his lips. Haley squeaked, shrinking in his presence. “Y-You… you. You're not gonna revenge, right?” “Great idea.” Liam took a strand of her hair, t
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 49. Acting Indifferent
Pushing the door slightly, Leah stepped into the office, her eyes wandering around the place, looking like a lost kitten. Her gaze strayed to him, and she smiled, lowering her head. What was she doing here? Liam frowned.Wasn't she supposed to be resting at home? Last week, she'd complained about feeling weak and dizzy. Liam gave her a month's leave to fully recuperate at home. She never told him what caused her illness and he had to hear about her pregnancy from his mother. Liam's thoughts wired back to that business trip. If he'd drunk less, he wouldn't have made such a huge mistake!Still, why couldn't he remember a thing? Leah hesitated by the door as her fearful gaze darted to Haley.She looked shocked for a while. “I- Uhm, I- I didn't know you were here, Mrs. Nash. I- I'll take my leave.”“Come back,” Liam called out. She hadn't even said what brought her. Was she very scared of Haley that she was leaving so soon?“Why did you come?” He asked. How did she even know th
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 50. Keep Her Promise
…At The Employees’ Area. The whispers weren't only loud, but distracting as well. Also disturbing was the anger in Haley's heart. Why was she even angry? She wasn't at all surprised that Leah would visit Liam in this place, but weren't they gutsy for thinking they could order her around? “That lady has spent more than an hour inside.” “Yeah, I heard she went to the CEO's office directly.”“Then is she the rumored wife?”“Well, she looks pregnant. She must be the mysterious Mrs. Nash.”The employees gossiped nonstop. They must have seen Leah entering Liam's office.To evade the gossip, Haley contemplated going to the rooftop, But the employees wouldn't leave her alone. “Does it mean we've been worried for nothing?” Amby blocked Haley's path, folding her hands. The girl's once-forced smile was now filled with genuineness. Amby tried to hook her arm around her, but Haley sidestepped. “Oh please stop acting all mighty now,” Amby snickered. “You don't even stand a chance anymor
