Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 137: Don't die
Summer’s Point of ViewAs Steven’s image materialized before me, a sudden chill swept over me, causing my stomach to knot up. The sight before me was gruesome - blood was splattered all over the floor and someone lay motionless in the midst of it all. Without a moment’s hesitation, Stefani dashed towards the person and I followed suit, trying my best to keep my balance as I ran.“S-Steven!” I cried out. “C-call an ambulance!”I held him on my lap while scanning the area for Brandon, who was frantically speaking on his phone. Despite his anxious stare at Stefani and me, my attention was solely focused on Stefani, who was watching the situation.My hands trembled, and my thoughts were jumbled. I couldn’t decide who to prioritize first between Stefani and Steven. In the midst of my confusion, Celine unexpectedly appeared.“Summer!” She came running towards us and picked up Stefani in her arms. “Aunty’s here. Don’t cry,” she said soothingly.Tears blurred my vision as I gazed at her, my f
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 138: Trial Court
Summer’s Point of View[Senior Carter, also known as Gregorio Feed Carter, will soon be stepping down from his current position. He is expected to announce his successor and reveal who will assume his power.][Steven Carter, the young and successful businessman, is currently in a coma after being shot by his childhood friend, who was suspected to be his mistress.]After hearing that, I switched off the TV and headed to the bathroom. I submerged myself in the bathtub until my mind calmed down, all the while gazing at my clean hands. These very hands were the ones that had tried to stop the bleeding in Steven’s chest. Yet, despite their cleanliness, an overwhelming sense of terror persisted, as if the blood still lingered.In a state of daze, my room unexpectedly opened without a knock. As I stared at the person who had entered, tears welled up in my eyes and I found myself unable to hold back the sobs that escaped me. The hands I was fixated on became blurred by the stream of tears.“M
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 139: The Court's decision
Summer’s Point of View“Prosecution, you may call your first witness,” the judge declared.“Thank you, your Honor. I call to the stand Calvin Klein,” my attorney responded.“Will the witness please stand to be sworn in by the bailiff?” the judge announced.“To the witness, Calvin Klein, please raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?” the bailiff said.“I do.”Calvin’s deliberate footsteps echoed through the room as he made his way to the front, causing my breath to hitch in my throat. The expressions on Mr. Klein and Amby’s faces revealed their surprise, and I could see Calvin’s father whispering to the lawyer. Their eyes shifted towards me, but I casually shrugged it off, my gaze fixed ahead. Uncertainty lingered, unsure if this man would also betray what he had witnessed.As his gaze fixed upon me, his voice resonated through the room. “Mister Carter is my father’s esteemed business partner,” he began, the sound of his words
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 140: A New Baby
Summer’s Point of ViewFollowing the trial, I wasted no time in heading over to Celine’s place to share the news and pick up Stefani. They were overjoyed to hear it, as they had faith in my abilities but doubted the people of New York City. Harvey offered to lend a hand, but I didn’t want to involve him any further in my troubles. I was simply grateful to have them by my side throughout the trial.Having already visited the hospital, we were surprised to find Calvin there. It amazed me, as I had thought he wouldn’t want to see me again after what had happened. However, as he noticed me approaching, he closed the distance between us.“Once again, I sincerely apologize for what happened, Mrs. Carter. I am here to personally extend my apologies on behalf of my father, as supporting Amby feels like a betrayal towards Mr. Carter as well,” he said and bowed his head.I smiled and shook my head. “No, I should be the one thanking you for what you did. Thanks to your testimony, Amby is finally
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 141: You are my wife
Summer’s Point of ViewI blinked repeatedly, my eyes straining to distinguish between reality and the product of my yearning for him. But before I could fully comprehend it all, he swiftly drew me into his embrace, and I found myself instantly pressed against his warm, solid frame.That was when I snapped out of reality and noticed his wound, which I could have accidentally hit. With my eyes widened, I tried to stand up, but he was pulling me closer, our bodies already pressed against each other.“Steven, stop it!” I exclaimed, struggling to pull out. “And when did you wake up?!”“I’ve been awake since 4 am, and since I can’t see you and Celine, I fell back asleep,” he whispered, his breath gently brushing against my ears. “As I expected, your scent is far more comforting than the sterile smell of this hospital.”I gulped, the sound echoing in the room, as his words hit me like a sudden wave. A rush of warmth spread across my cheeks, turning them a deep shade of crimson. But amidst th
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 142: Go home
Summer’s Point of ViewI collapsed to the ground, my entire body trembling uncontrollably. As I glanced upwards, I saw a tall, white man peering down at me. He had a distinctive scar on his left eyebrow, but there was no denying his elegance and the air of wealth that surrounded him. Despite wearing a gray jacket, black pants, and white rubber shoes, he wasn’t appearing to be just an ordinary passerby.With my demeanor still not calming, I slowly crawled back and nearly gasped as he squatted down to match our heights.And then he asked, “Are you okay?”I resisted the urge to reply, my attention now fixated on his countenance. The longer my gaze lingered, the stronger the sensation of familiarity washed over me, like a distant echo resurfacing.After a minute of gazing at him, he let out a sigh, followed by a chuckle. “Listen, Miss. I have no intention of hurting you, okay?”Silently, my lips remained sealed, my eyes fixed upon his face, searching for a familiar memory. Yet, despite my
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 143: Thank you
Summer’s Point of ViewI let out a sigh. “Alright, but I advise against going to work just yet. Everything is currently under control, all thanks to Brandon.”“It appears that Brandon is handling things quite well.”“Yes, and he deserves a raise.”“Good point.” He smirked before wrapping his arm around my waist and sitting back on the bed. “Shall we head home now?”“I’m sorry, not yet,” I replied, gently pushing him. “We need to go see grandpa first. You know how concerned he is about you, especially after what happened. Luckily, he has his nurse by his side because when he found out you were shot, he had another heart attack.”He remained quiet, yet his grip on my waist remained firm as his mind began to wander. “What about Amby?” he finally asked.I shifted my gaze to the side, my eyes fixated on the dark sky adorned with shimmering stars. In a hushed tone, I quietly responded, “She’s currently behind bars.”What she did was truly terrible, but I knew that Steven still had some empa

Summer’s Point of View“Grandpa!”Stefani dashed towards Senior, embracing him tightly. Meanwhile, his gaze remained fixed on the man standing beside me. Then, in a sudden instant, his eyes welled up with tears, glistening with emotion.“Steven. Oh, my grandson... I thought I was going to lose you, too.”Steven approached him and knelt down in front of him. “Grandpa, I am sorry for the trouble I’ve caused. I should have been more careful in my calculations and anticipated that it would lead to such a disastrous outcome.”“No, that’s not important right now. What matters is that you’re awake again,” he said, turning his head towards me with a smile. “You’re fortunate to have a wife who stayed by your side.”I could sense a hint of sadness in his voice, but he made an effort to brighten his mood by flashing a cheerful smile.“Grandpa, is something bothering you?” I inquired.With a half smile, he shook his head and replied, “I was just thinking about how poorly I treated you, and I feel

The house was aglow with festive cheer. Warm lights twinkled on the Christmas tree, and the scent of cinnamon, pine, and freshly baked cookies filled the air. Stefani stood in the kitchen, putting the final touches on a tray of cupcakes. The sound of laughter and chatter echoed through the living room, where both sides of the family—hers and Jacob’s—had gathered for the holidays.This was exactly how she had always imagined it—a full house, filled with the people she loved most. The twins, Elara and Ethan, were playing with their new toys, their excitement bubbling over as they showed their grandparents everything Santa had brought.

Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 104: The Twins’ 5th Birthday Celebration
The warm sunlight streamed through the curtains as Stefani stretched, listening to the excited giggles from down the hall. Today was a special day, one she had been anticipating for weeks—Ethan and Elara's fifth birthday. Five years. Stefani could hardly believe how quickly time had flown. It felt like just yesterday she was cradling two tiny newborns in her arms, overwhelmed with love and exhaustion. Now, they were running around the house, full of energy and life, growing faster than she ever thought possible.The house buzzed with activity as Stefani got ready. Balloons lined the walls, colorful streamers were draped across the ceiling, and the smell of freshly baked cake filled the air.

Stefani’s heart fluttered with excitement as she paced the living room, her phone clutched tightly in her hand. She glanced at the clock for the hundredth time, mentally calculating the minutes left before Jacob was supposed to arrive. The house had been transformed into a celebration space, a labor of love that had taken weeks of planning and countless late nights spent coordinating with friends and family. The air was thick with anticipation, and the only thing left to do was wait for the guest of honor to walk through the door.Jacob had reached a major milestone in his career—winning a prestigious award for excellence in business management, something that had been his goal for years. It was a recognition of his hard work, long hours, and dedication, but more than that, it was a symbol of how far he had come. Stefani had watched him pour his heart and soul into his work, even though he once lost sight of their family.So, when she heard about the award, Stefani knew she had to cel
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 102: Stefani’s Business Launch
The sun was just starting to rise, casting a golden glow over the city, but Stefani had been up for hours. Her heart raced with a mixture of excitement and nerves as she stood in front of the mirror, brushing her hair and making final adjustments to her outfit. Today was the day. After years of dreaming, planning, and putting it off for her family, she was about to open her very own bakery.Stefani had always loved baking. It was more than a hobby for her; it was a passion, a way to express her creativity and share joy with others. From the time she was little, she would spend hours in the kitchen, covered in flour and experimenting with different flavors. But as life moved forward—marriage, children, and all the responsibilities that came with them—her dream of opening her own bakery had taken a back seat.Until now.Jacob had been her biggest supporter, urging her to follow her heart and make this dream a reality. He’d helped her find the perfect location for the bakery—a charming l

The school auditorium buzzed with excitement, filled with the soft murmur of parents, teachers, and children waiting for the talent show to begin. Stefani sat beside Jacob in the front row, her heart racing with a mix of pride and anticipation. She held Jacob’s hand tightly, glancing at the small stage where, in just a few moments, Ethan and Elara would perform in their first-ever talent show.The twins, now five years old, had been practicing for weeks. Every day after school, Stefani and Jacob would find them in the living room, dancing, singing, and occasionally arguing over who got to lead. It had been a rollercoaster of giggles, minor frustrations, and endless rehearsals. Now, the big day had finally arrived.Stefani shifted in her seat, excitement bubbling in her chest as she watched the children backstage. "I can't believe our babies are up there," she whispered to Jacob, her voice filled with awe. "It feels like just yesterday they were learning to walk."Jacob smiled, squeezi
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 100: Family Vacation and Renewed Vows
The gentle breeze rolled off the sea, carrying with it the salty freshness of the ocean. The sun hung low on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the pristine sands of the island they had just arrived on. It felt surreal to Stefani—the beauty of the place, the laughter of her children echoing in the air as Ethan and Elara chased each other down the shore. This island was nothing like anywhere they had been before, and for the first time in a long while, Stefani felt the worries of everyday life slip away.Jacob stood beside her, his eyes locked on the twins with a soft smile tugging at his lips. “It’s beautiful here, isn’t it?” he asked, his voice warm.Stefani nodded, her fingers lacing through his as she leaned into him. “It’s perfect,” she whispered. “I can’t believe we’re actually here. No work, no stress—just us.”He glanced down at her, something unreadable in his expression. “That’s exactly what I wanted, Stef. Just us. We’ve been through a lot, and I thought we could use so
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 99: The Breaking Point
It was a Wednesday afternoon when Stefani sat by the window, staring out at the garden while Elara and Ethan played outside. Their laughter echoed through the yard, but Stefani couldn’t find it in herself to join in. Her mind was miles away, consumed by the growing distance between her and Jacob.Days had turned into weeks since their last conversation about his workaholic tendencies, and though Jacob had apologized and promised to do better, nothing had changed. He was still coming home late, still missing family dinners, and still buried in projects that seemed more important than their family.The door opened, and Jacob walked in, looking as exhausted as ever. His tie hung loosely around his neck, and his shirt was wrinkled from a long day at the office. He glanced at Stefani, his eyes filled with that same apologetic look she had grown used to."Hey," he greeted her, dropping his briefcase by the door. "Sorry I'm late again. The meeting ran longer than expected."Stefani sighed, h
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 98: Work, Distance, and Heartache
Stefani sat at the dinner table, her eyes tracing the empty seat across from her. The warm glow from the chandelier above felt dim compared to the brightness that used to fill their family meals. It wasn’t the first night Jacob had missed dinner, but it felt like the hundredth. His absence weighed heavily on her heart, an unspoken distance growing between them.Elara and Ethan, now five, chatted animatedly as they poked at their food, their little voices filling the silence Jacob had left behind. Stefani tried to focus on their laughter, their joy, but her mind kept drifting back to the clock on the wall, ticking louder and louder with every passing second. Each tick felt like a reminder that Jacob was missing yet another evening with his family.“Mommy, when is Daddy coming home?” Ethan’s soft voice cut through her thoughts. His big brown eyes were filled with innocent hope, the kind that still believed his father would walk through the door at any moment.Stefani’s heart clenched. S
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 97: Stefani’s Growing Insecurities
Stefani sat by the window in their bedroom, watching the sunset as the soft orange hues danced across the horizon. The house was unusually quiet, save for the distant laughter of their children playing in the living room with their grandparents. She sighed, clutching her phone as her thumb hovered over Jacob’s contact.It had only been a few hours since she last saw him. He had left early in the morning for a meeting, and now the day was fading into night, with no sign of him returning. She knew Jacob loved her deeply, and she had no reason to doubt his loyalty. But still, the whisper of insecurities crawled into her mind ever since Olivia started working in his office.Despite Jacob’s reassurances and the fact that Olivia no longer bothered him, Stefani couldn't help but feel unsettled. She had always been confident in their relationship, but lately, small things seemed to gnaw at her sense of security. The little voice in her head was louder than usual.What if Olivia is still aroun
