Divorced To Steal His Heart 107. Mrs. Wellington
Jessica's POV My manager advised me to back out of it.She said it's too early to hold a press conference, or it might backfire as it was the hot topic in town right now and there would be a lot of judgemental questions.Well, what does she know?It's better to strike an iron while it's still hot. I won't let Olivia get the satisfaction she wants. She wants to render me weak and hopeless by snatching my man. I could deal with her five years ago. I can surely deal with her now. My only regret is not dealing with her and that boy while I had the chance to. Because the only thing on my mind was the wedding, I'd let go of that golden opportunity. After leaving the hospital, I stopped at my apartment to deal with some things first. “Ma’am Jessica, you look so beautiful. But are you sure this is the best moment?” My hairstylist asked as she smoothened my hair back to its normal look.I nodded to her question. “A lot of people think Theo has fallen out of love with me.”“You don't ha

After my statement, a hushed silence fell across the hall.The reporters stared at each other, all of them clearly speechless.My words must be so believable that they were too shocked to react.Noises exploded, and their questions were louder than before. “Mrs. Wellington! You're Mrs. Wellington already! Are you serious, Jessica?”“If you and Mr. Wellington are already married, isn't holding that extravagant wedding a waste?”“Jessica, for how long have you been married to Theo Wellington?”“A few days ago, you posted a photo of a little boy. So it's true that he's your son with Theo Wellington.”“Why did you guys hide this important secret for many years?”“Jessica, oh- I mean, Mrs. Wellington. Is there evidence that you're telling the truth?”I saw this coming.The reporters would surely have their doubts except the ones I had my manager hire.I didn't need to speak much as they were the ones agreeing with my words, sealing the others’ curiosity.“You're a celebrity, and it's unde

…Geneva, Switzerland.Theo's POVI woke up with anticipation in my heart, looking forward to hearing from my assistant.The DNA results should be ready, right?Olivia will no longer have any grounds to refute my claims. I ate breakfast in haste, washed up, and got dressed.And after getting ready, I couldn't wait to pick up my phone and dial Jake.But then, I realized the time difference. Cursing inside, I paced back and forth inside the suite, constantly looking at the time.Geneva is nine hours ahead of L.A. It's 6:00 AM here in Geneva, but it would still be 9:00 PM back in L.A. With no other thing to do, I sat on the couch, my gaze fixated on the tall apartment building through the floor-to-ceiling window.Knowing I had to wait nine hours before hearing from my assistant, my anxiousness increased by the minutes.Jake should have gone to sleep already, or maybe the results are not out yet.After two hours, my phone miraculously rang with the assistant's name flashing on the scr

Olivia's POV Unless that kidnapper was invincible, he would not be so brave to step into the apartment building in daylight.He couldn't bypass the security or even had the guts to knock.When Nanny Maya ran back inside with that frightful expression, I already had an inkling who that kidnapper was. Despite that, I hoped it was not him. It shouldn't be Theo. My warning yesterday should be enough to make him back off.“Ms. Lawson, it's- It's that man.” Maya was literally shaking like a leaf as she spoke incoherently.Sighing, I took her hand, heading back in the same direction.Dave is in his room, and I don't want this to alert him.Peeking through the hole in the door confirmed my suspicion.Theo is here!“Do you know him, Ms. Lawson?”I nodded to the Nanny's question to stop her from panicking further. “B- But how?” Maya exclaimed. “Who's he? They took Dave away the other time.”I couldn't possibly explain everything to the Nanny, especially exposing Theo’s identity.So I reass

“Olivia-”“Please leave, Theo Wellington.” I cupped my palms together, giving him a hopeless look.The man's desperation scared me.The more he pushed, the more anxious I became.Never would I imagine a scenario whereby my son could be snatched from me someday.And Theo Wellington is capable of that.His eyes are on Dave now, and he'll do anything to take him away. “I've already told you that he's mine and Ethan's son. Just leave us alone, Theo!”I pleaded in a desperate tone, hopeful he would heed my request.But he stared at me as if I was the one torturing him. “Stop doing this, Olivia. Both you and I know Dave is our son. I don't remember you to be a dishonest person.”When did he start trusting me?Who cares if he thinks I'm honest or not?I'd rather be dishonest than let go of my happiness.I'll be selfish in all sense if it comes to ensuring my son's safety. “Allow me to do a DNA test,” Theo added. “Once the result comes out, I'll naturally leave if Dave is not my son.”But he

…Theo's POV I'm not so dumb.When I asked for the sample, knowing there was no way Olivia would allow me to see Dave, I expected her to say no and insist I left.But then, she agreed and instantly brought me a sample.I'm not a fool to believe her. But I have to change strategies.Approaching Olivia directly or pleading and showing her my desperation won't get me what I want.She's hellbent on denying me access to Dave.I never knew she could be so stubborn. “Mr. Wellington, here is all the information you asked for.” The private investigator’s voice dragged my attention. Not only were they written information,There were also some photos attached to the file. “Five years ago, Dr. Lawson came to Geneva, following a professor for an important project. A few months later after she came, she gave birth to a boy.”As the investigator narrated the story, my heart stirred with a complex emotion, seeing Dave's photo when he was an infant. Olivia was sitting on a hospital bed, looking

Vanished?Likely story.Why am I not surprised?After giving me the fake sample, Olivia would definitely try to evade me by running away with my son.I sighed and ended the call.Now what?Geneva is not like L.A., and I can't guarantee that I'll find her easily.Where do I start looking?Yet again, I had another sleepless night. My time in Geneva isn't as I've planned at all.I'd thought after hearing that I'd canceled the wedding with Jessica, Olivia would be touched.I'd thought that she'd feel free and tell me the truth. But it's more difficult than I'd imagined.In the morning, despite my exhaustion, I left for the apartment building to see it for myself.True to the investigator’s words, Olivia was gone and her apartment was locked. What to do next?I'd never been this confused or clueless. If only I could get a single hint.Who could help me in this situation?I sat on the stairwell, thinking for a long time.Then an idea lit up in my head.Although I was not very sure it woul

“Let's divorce.”His cold and low voice rang out in the empty living room. I froze in the doorway, and my bag dropped on the floor.Inside the dimly lit room, the moonlight streamed through the curtains, reflecting on Theo’s intimidating presence.He sat at the coffee table, his unwavering gaze on me devoid of any warmth. I must have heard him wrong. Maybe I've imagined those words in my excited state.D- Divorce. No way.My heart beat uncomfortably, and my palms were suddenly sweaty as I bent to pick my bag from the floor.Trying so hard to convince myself that he didn't say that, Theo confirmed it further by knocking the divorce papers on the table. “You can ask for anything you want. I won't treat you unfairly.” His cold words numbed me.I glanced up, my initial shock now replaced by a feeling of realization.My eyes fell on the divorce papers, my vision blurred suddenly with tears that clouded my eyes.So this is it. Struggling to control my emotions as they threatened to bu

…Jessica's POV “Ahhhhhhhhh!”I thrashed and wriggled all my limbs, fighting to break free.But these filthy nothings overpowered me. The nurses wouldn't leave me alone. They'd all been here ever since I woke up. Does this look like a fan meeting?Do I look as if I'm in the mood to sign some autographs?“Get your hands off me!!! Let go!” I screamed.Yet, they didn't let me go, increasing my hate for them.Damn! I hate everyone right now.I hate myself much more. What mistake did I make?Did I do something wrong to make Theo behave like that? Had I been too anxious and excited throughout the wedding preparations that I noticed nothing?But, no!Theo will never treat me like this in his right mind.Something has to be wrong.He would never abandon me at the altar, shaming me in front of the whole world.“Please calm down, Ma’am Jessica!”“If you try to break another thing, you might get hurt!”“We're so sorry about what happened, but this isn't the right way to respond to a heartbrea

It's a kind of feeling that's accompanied by irritation and a sense of loss.It's as if something valuable has been snatched from me.My hand inched forward, following my first instinct to pull her out of his embrace. But then, I managed to control myself.“What took you so long?” She pulled away, pouting as she spoke to him.Smiling, the man stroked her hair. “Sorry for keeping you waiting, Dear. What's for dinner?”“Your favorite! Wait until you see the special recipe I made tonight.” Excitedly, Olivia pulled him inside and shut the door in my face.I stood in the same spot for a minute, dazed and heartbroken.They're indeed a happy family.If I'd forced myself to treat her this way despite not loving her at that time, would our marriage have worked?I left the apartment building, devastated as well as disappointed.I would have insisted on seeing Dave until Olivia brought him out, but I couldn't stand seeing her smiling at another man.I booked a hotel nearby and lodged there.Wha
