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. As the sleek office building came in view, Stefani took a deep breath, feeling both excited and a gentle flutter from life growing inside. She smiled as she stepped out of the car and thanked the driver before heading inside.The lobby was grand, as usual, but today it felt especially so. Stefani moved with grace, her hand set protectively over her belly, as she glided towards the elevator. It wasn't until the doors closed that a surge of anticipation washed over her. She couldn't wait to see
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 59: Teach a lesson
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
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 60: Rage
Stefani awoke gradually; the soft morning light filtered through the curtain. Instinctively, she reached out for the security of Jacob's presence lying beside her, but her hand pressed onto cool nothingness on his side of the bed. Frowning, she turned upright and looked around the room, peering through with the response of unease. The room was too quiet without Jacob there to fill it.She slipped out of bed, and the chill of the wooden floor made her shiver. As she went downstairs, unease filled her more and more. The house was silent-much too quiet. Where could Jacob have gone so early in the morning without telling her?As she entered the kitchen, she was greeted by the fresh, unmistakable aroma of just-brewed coffee; however, it did little for her brittle nerves. She found one of the maids cleaning the countertops."Good morning, Mrs. Stefani," the maid greeted her cordially with a courteous smile.Stefani just as politely smiled back, though it seemed rather forced. "Good morning.
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 61: Kill You
Jacob sat alone in the darkened underground room, his fists still clenched from the encounter he had with the stalker. The thoughts which were juggling in his mind comprised Stefani, her safety, and the horrific truth he had just came across. The rage which had driven him some minutes ago was still broiling in his mind but was gradually ebbing and was replaced by a gnawing concern.He pulled out his phone; the screen lit his grim-looking face. A few taps later, the call log was full of missed calls and voicemails from Stefani. His heart ached as he thought about how worried she must be. Jacob took a deep breath, trying to steady himself, and hit play on the first voicemail."Hey Jacob, it's me. I woke up and you were gone. Please call me when you get this. I'm worried."Her voice came out soft and laced with anxiety, cutting through his anger like a knife. The anger that had burned within him, a fury directed at Shaira, the stalker, and everyone involved in this twisted plot, seemed t
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 62: New Dish
Stefani stood in the kitchen, placing her hands on her growing belly, a soft smile playing on her lips. The sun shone brightly through the window, waves of soft light dancing across the countertop. She watched as Marta, the maid, chopped vegetables efficiently and confidently.“Marta,” Stefani said, breaking the comfortable silence, “do you think you could teach me how to make a new dish today? I want to surprise Jacob when he comes home from work.”Marta looked up, her eyes crinkling with a warm smile. “Of course, Mrs. Stefani. What do you have in mind? Something special for Mr. Jacob?”Stefani nodded energetically, the excitement just bursting inside her. “Yes, something that will really make him smile. I want him to know how much I appreciate him.”Marta chuckled, then gently wiped her hands with an apron. “How about a classic beef stew? It’s warm and comforting—just what we need for this type of weather. I’m sure Mr. Jacob will like it.”Stefani nodded in complete agreement, and t
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 63: Stomach Pain
The next morning, Stefani sat alongside Jacob at the breakfast table. The soft morning light seeped through the curtains. They shared a serene moment filled with the scent of fresh coffee and toast. Stefani took a mouthful and smiled, enjoying how simple the morning routine had become with Jacob by her side.Just as she was about to take another bite, her phone rang. Stefani peered at the screen and saw that it was Shaina, Shaira's sister. A faint furrow creased her forehead as she received the call with some second thoughts."Shaina?" Stefani's voice was clear, but an edge of surprise betrayed her tone. Rarely did Shaina call her."Hello, Stefani," Shaina said once she answered, the tenor of her voice just a tad guarded. "I hope I am not disturbing you.""Not at all," Stefani said, laying her fork down. "Is everything all right?"Shaina let out a soft sigh on the other end. "I just wanted to inform you that Shaira is leaving New York. She thought best to get away for some time."Stef
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 64: Twins
Jacob paced outside the emergency room, peering through a small window that gave him a general view of Stefani lying in bed, her complexion pale, her face contorted in a wave of agony as she grasped her stomach. The imagery of her in this manner, weak and in pain, made his chest constrict, his heart heavy with helplessness. It had all happened so suddenly, she had been okay one minute and was doubled over in pain the next. He hated that he could do nothing for her at the moment but wait.Behind the glass, Stefani shifted uncomfortably, her hands pressing into her swollen belly. She was pregnant, and they had been so excited, but now… Jacob swallowed hard, fighting back the rising fear. What if something was wrong with the baby? What if something happened to Stefani?Jacob hadn't noticed Summer and Steven hurry into the waiting room. Summer was the first to speak; her voice was soft yet laced with concern."Jacob, what happened?" she asked as she glanced from him to the door behind him
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 65: We will take care of them
Stefani sat in the waiting room of the Ob-gyn that was becoming so familiar, her hand resting gently on her already visible belly. She and Jacob had known about the pregnancy, yet with every visit to the doctor came a mix of excitement and nerves. Still, this visit felt different.It was after a recent hospital scare, where Stefani had been rushed in for sharp pains, the doctor noticed something strange on her ultrasound: a small shape they couldn't quite explain. They'd been told to follow up today, and the air was thick with anticipation.Jacob sat beside her, his knee bouncing restlessly. He hadn't said much, but Stefani knew he was just as anxious as she was. His protective side had only grown stronger since the pregnancy, and every minute waiting felt like an eternity."Mrs. Hansley, we're ready for you," called the nurse.Stefani and Jacob rose, the friction between them nearly palpable as they followed her back to the exam room. The routine was familiar now, the cool gel, the h
