Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 52: I don't need you
Jacob stared at the phone in his hand and momentarily blanked out. He was stunned and seemed unable to process what Liam had just said. After a few seconds passed, the words finally registered in his mind. "What do you mean...?" Jacob asked calmly. "Why would she leave without a reason if you're saying she left before the picture issue between Shaira and me came out?" Liam was speechless because he didn't know either, but as he thought, his eyes landed on the phone Jacob was holding. Jacob, too, shifted his attention there. As they both realized what was happening, Jacob quickly unlocked his phone and his hand went cold as he swiped through it, revealing his conversation with Shaira. It was an unknown number, but it wasn't hard to guess who he was talking to. He tightly gripped his phone, his knuckles turning white. He remained silent as he quickly returned to his room to retrieve his important belongings. Upon stepping out, he immediately instructed Liam to prepare the jet th

Jacob was taken aback by what he heard from Stefani. His heart ached slightly and his hands grew cold momentarily.After a minute, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Please, let me explain. This is all a misunderstanding.""A misunderstanding?" Stefani repeated incredulously. "I saw and read everything I needed to. So, you don't need to explain anymore. Just leave."Jacob didn't know where to begin with his explanation. He was afraid that one wrong word could completely shatter Stefani's trust."Please, listen to me. It's not what you think. There's a reason why—"Jacob stopped speaking as the door opened and Stefani appeared. Her eyes were swollen, red, as if she was about to cry again. Jacob was momentarily stunned before he regained his composure.He tried to approach Stefani, but she quickly moved away. He attempted to hold her hand, but she swiftly dodged his touch."Don't touch me!" Stefani said firmly, glaring at Jacob. "You should have told me earlier so we wouldn't have

Summer entered Stefani's room and saw her awake. Stefani was standing on the terrace, watching the plants that she hadn't seen for a long time since she got married to Jacob.She noticed Summer entering but didn't look back. She remained silent until Summer approached her."The weather is nice. It's great to take a walk outside," Summer randomly said and stood next to Stefani. She smiled and took a deep breath of the breeze before speaking without looking at Stefani. "But it's even better to appreciate this view when your mind is at peace and you're with someone you love."Stefani still didn't speak but she felt where her mommy was heading with the topic. She remained quiet before Summer continued, "Sometimes, it's better to share the heaviness you feel rather than keep it inside. The weight may not go away but somehow, your heart will feel lighter."A strong wind blew, tousling Stefani's hair and in an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. "I grew up never feeling insecure because yo

Stefani's heart seemed to ache when she saw Jacob's tears flowing continuously. She panicked and felt confused about what to do next. Unable to bear it any longer, she quickly approached Jacob and held his face. "D-Don't cry. Why are you crying? Stop it! You're making me nervous!" She didn't know whether to lower her hand from his face, leave, or just wait for him to stop crying. As she was about to lower her hand, she was surprised when he suddenly grabbed it and placed it back on his face. He leaned his face on it and closed his eyes while warm tears continued to fall from his eyes. "I'm scared..." he mumbled. "I'm so scared because I know you can make those words happen with just one word from you. And I don't want that to happen... I love you and this love I have for you is making me madly insane." Stefani's heart softened at the simple words he uttered. She couldn't help but feel pain for his tears. She didn't speak while he continued, "Tell me what I lack. Tell me what I n

Jacob and Stefani returned to their home, but Stefani did not feel well. She felt nauseous and dizzy every day, sleeping all day until Jacob came back from work.Today, Jacob could not bear seeing her like this anymore so he suggested, "You're like this every day. Don't you want to consult with a doctor? I know one."Stefani furrowed her brow while leaning against the headboard, still feeling unwell. "Why do we need to see another one? We have a family doctor who can just come here and check on me."Jacob pursed his lips. He knew that their family doctor could do the check-up, but he wanted to personally go to an ob-gyne to confirm if Stefani was pregnant. He was afraid that she might not actually be pregnant and might be sick instead.Jacob let out a sigh. "Honey, can't we just go in person? After all, it's been weeks since you've gone out. We should also go on dates because it's been a while since we've had one."Stefani blushed when Jacob called her by their endearment. Even though

Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 58: Following Her
The morning was cool, and Stefani stood in front of the mirror, tenderly caressing her growing belly. Her pregnancy had filled her life with new light and a deep joy shared by both Stefani and Jacob. On this day, she felt an extra spring in her step as she prepared to surprise him at his office. Spending a lot of time alone in recent times was a rare thing, and she knew how much he wanted to see her.The drive from their house to Jacob's office was serene; the city bustled with its usual rhythm.

Jacob was finishing up his work for the evening when a knock came at the door of his study. He turned to see the driver enter, his face somber. Jacob could sense tension in his face and immediately experienced a knot begin to form in his stomach. Something was wrong."Mr. Jacob, sir, may I have a word with you?" he asked respectfully, though his voice showed traces of concern."Of course," Jacob answered, ushering him inside. "What's wrong?"The chauffeur stepped inside and closed the door behind him, standing erect yet with eyes that shared in the gravity of what he had to say. "Sir, earlier today when I went to pick up Mrs. Stefani from your office… she was being followed by a man."Jacob's face darkened. He leaned forward as his voice emerged steady, laced with steel. "Followed? Are you sure?"The driver nodded. His eyes didn't waver. "Yes, sir. I saw him once she exited the building. He kept his distance but was definitely following her. That is why I hastened towards her and ushe
