Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 21: Talk with Amby
Summer’s Point of View “Divorce?” Steven chuckled, but his eyes lacked any joy. “Missus Carter, you seem to use that word a lot these days just because it is convenient for you. Since you can’t recall, allow me to remind you of your past self-centered refusals when I asked for a divorce.”I felt a lump in my throat and even I wanted to open my mouth; I knew all that would come out was air. The car stopped right at that moment as he turned his head on me. With his cold eyes, he asked, “What? Nothing to refute?”I pinched my right leg to force myself to stay conscious, feeling drained from the intensity of Steven’s gaze. He wanted to torture me. I was sure of it because his eyes couldn’t deny it. As my pants slowly became breath again, I muttered, “I’m only asking you to free Celine out of the jail. Is it hard for you to do?””How can you expect me to risk my neck against the Brown family for the insignificant assistant you have?” Steven sneered. “Insignificant?” I gritted my teeth an
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 22: I can't accept your proposal
Summer's Point of ViewAs I glanced into the VIP room Steven had given to Amby, I felt a sense of grandeur; the walls were covered in intricate gold leaf. Her room was orderly and tidy, with plenty of space for visitors. Perhaps this was how Steven Carter cared for the woman he cherished deeply, keeping her safe from harm.My husband would make sure her sweetheart had everything she needed to be as comfortable as possible during her recovery. To him, the million dollar cost of the hospital per day was a worthwhile investment if it meant Amby would recover.Hailey looked at Amby and angrily stood up before she spat, "Don't you dare do something, Summer, because I will make sure you will regret it!"Hailey was seething with rage and glared at me before storming out. The reverence she had for Amby was so great that she would follow her instructions, even if she didn't like them.My eyes went back to Amby's face. I stared at her angelic face for a long time and couldn't help but admire it.
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 23: Steven's wife
Summer’s Point of ViewI looked on as Steven stepped into the room, his presence filling it with a strange electric energy. His face was livid, and I could feel the sting of regret on my tongue, like I had wronged Amby because of what he said.“Steven, why are you staring at me like I’m the worst person you’ve ever met? Did my presence ever mean anything to you? Do you really think I can do something so horrible to Amby?"I wanted to convey those words to him, but I refrain myself by biting my tongue. If he assumed I was intending to do those terrible things to his sweetheart, he would not use his mental capacity to think and would instantly kill me himself.”Don’t worry, my good husband.” I started, emphasizing the word husband, and smile, but it didn’t reach my eyes. “I acted with the utmost integrity and did nothing wrong with her. We are only talking about something.”He looked over at Amby with a critical eye, as if he wouldn’t believe me until he could check for himself that she
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 24: Stop loving me with your eyes.
Summer’s Point of ViewSteven pulled me to the secluded corner, and I felt the roughness of the wall behind me as he moved his face closer to me. When I felt his brawny arms, I couldn't help but gasp at the sensation. I was out of breath, my strength sapping as I tried to push him away.The way he acted brought a pleasant, tingling warmth to my chest. However, his piercing eyes seemed to study me, and I felt my skin crawl under his scrutiny.“Summer, what did you tell Amby?” he asked.“What do you think?” I asked back, a little frustrated as I pushed him. I tried to avert my eyes, but he grasped my chin, making me look directly into his. I felt my mind go blank, overwhelmed by what he had done. We were locked in a silent battle of wills, neither of us looking away.“I’m asking you, Summer. Answer my question.”His breath was hot on my skin as his murmuring grew louder. His presence alone was enough to cause me to collapse. What more to this kind of distance? His voice was low and men
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 25: You're the reason
Summer’s Point of View“Answer me, wife. What can you destroy in my life? How will you do that?”When I understood Steven had me cornered by his question, the fear ran through my veins, and I could feel my heart beating faster and faster. I couldn’t believe I had been so naïve, not realizing he was trying to ensnare me with my own words.“Why do I need to answer you? I will not answer you, for I know it will make you suspicious of me.” I scoffed at him and shoved him away before I said gruffly, “I have some things to do, so I have to go. Bye!”I already turned around and took steps. However, before I could make a distance from him, his breath struck my nape.“Just the typical Summer, nothing to expect.”As my stilettos shuffling against the pavement, I heard his throaty voice behind me, but I hastened away. His movements were quick and calculated, like a beast searching for prey to feast on. I exhaled slowly to slow down the frantic hammering of my heart.Whenever I was with him, I fel
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 26: Can't live without power
Summer’s Point of View I arrived at the dinner party at 7 pm. As I entered the banquet hall, I could see the glimmering chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The vibrant colors around me made me remember why I had come to this place. Of course, it was because of learning more about my past, but I received news that Steven would attend the party, too. Recalling the moment he told me it was my fault that Amby’s dream had been crushed, I was stirred to come here more.I made my way around, eager to find him. My eyes searched the crowd, and I struggled to find his familiar tall body amongst the sea of unfamiliar faces and figures. It took me half an hour yet I still did not see him. Feeling my feet hurting from walking, I ended up stepping into the garden. Standing at the edge of the garden, I could see the huge outdoor swimming pool and marvel at the clarity of the water. I noticed the few guests standing, their voices carrying across the pool as they chatted with each other. I survey
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 27: Help me
Summer’s Point of View*Splash*“Shit! Ah!”As I felt the splash of the water after Hailey pushed me into the pool, I couldn't help but scream out in surprise. The cold was so intense that it felt like I could freeze to death in an instant. It was winter, so expect the so much coldness.I tried to swim, but the pool water felt like a viscous liquid, and it seemed to wrap around my body. I could feel my pulse quickening as I stepped further and further away from safety, feeling that death was imminent.“My goodness, Summer! Why did you jump into the pool? Is this your way of getting the sympathy of everyone here?”Hailey's words were becoming increasingly difficult to comprehend. I was too busy focusing on my survival to catch all of what she had said.I tried to float, but I couldn't muster the buoyancy to stay afloat. As I struggled to keep my head above the surface of the water, and the more I fought, the more I felt like I was drowning. I could not touch the bottom of the pool, so d
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 28: The call
Amby’s Point of ViewI glanced over at my manager, who was animatedly discussing something with the production team. I could see she was still in a panic. Her eyes couldn’t calm and darting around as if she were trying to determine if I was safe since I was sitting on the ground.Steven stepped onto the set and was met by the frenzied voices of the cast and the chaos of the scene. He walked over to me and I could feel his gaze running over me. “What happened to you? What’s going on?” I opened my mouth, ready to tell him I was okay, when my manager came barreling towards him. Her eyes bulged, and I could feel her desire to be my rescuer. “Mister Carter, please help Hailey!”“What?” Steven plainly asked.“Did you see that woman? It's Georgie Muller!” Georgie was looking at the production crew when my manager pointed her finger in her direction. “She’s an actress. She’s the one who kept causing trouble for Amby whenever they are filming.”"Maggie, let's not make this into a huge drama,"
