The Billionaire's Wife and the Mistress 26. After the Divorce
Leo emerged from the bathroom wearing a towel wrapped too low around his waist. His athletic body would force any woman to admire him. The sight was even more beautiful when he appeared fresh and wet after being showered.Leo grabbed his phone from the nightstand that had been ringing constantly. "Elise, do you know what time it is? Can't you call later?" Leo greeted his only sister without using any formal greeting. That was just his way of talking."Dad wants to know when you're coming home. Haven't we fulfilled all of your wishes?" The woman's voice on the other end of the line asked."....""Hey, answer me! I can't stand Dad's nagging anymore!" Elise urged impatiently."You know, don't you? I still haven't confirmed whether she's really Imogen or not." Leo replied lazily to his sister's very nagging request."Leo! Imogen has passed away and you couldn't possibly find her anywhere!" Elise was getting impatient with all the excuses Leo was making."Okay! Okay! I'll come back next we

"Maya? Leo? Are you also here for a prenatal check-up?" Sabrina greeted them. Now, Sabrina felt like she was on cloud nine because Adam was all hers.Meanwhile, Adam, feeling uneasy, had to force a smile too. He felt a little guilty for kissing Sabrina's baby in her belly and ignoring the baby in Maya's belly. Deep in his heart, there was a slight affection for Maya’s baby that he tried to suppress so badly.Especially now that Maya's expression was so unhappy, it made Adam even more uncomfortable. In his heart, he regretted Maya's pregnancy. If he knew it would turn out like this, he should not have impregnated Maya so she could start a new life with a man who loved her."Is your pregnancy going well? Is the baby healthy?" Adam finally asked. In his heart, he really wanted to kiss Maya's belly too. Even though he did not love Maya, the child she was carrying was still his. "Do you already know the baby's gender?"When Adam asked a question, Maya could only answer with tears streaming

The day after the pregnancy examination, Leo brought a female nurse to accompany and monitor Maya's daily condition. Leo also visited Maya more often after he finished his errands. "Why bother bringing a nurse here? I can't afford to pay her salary," Maya protested Leo's excessive action. "I can still be alone. Don't worry!" "Maya, let me do something for you. If no one is here to accompany you, I will be with you for 24 hours. Do you want me to do that?" Leo insisted, asking Maya just to accept his help. “I will be more than happy if you allow me to nurse you.” Maya lightly hit Leo's muscular chest, finding his joke not funny at all. “In your dream.” She then smiled and invited Leo in to have coffee and taste her homemade oat cookies. "I made oat cookies! Do you want to try them?" She offered her friend with a sincere smile plastered on her pale and tired face. "With pleasure," Leo replied, as he liked anything that Maya had ever served him. Leo had not yet told Maya

Maya's condition worsened every day. Although every effort had been made, including a low-salt diet and regular light exercise, her condition continued to decline.When Leo received this news from the nurse who was taking care of Maya, he immediately returned from Washington DC, where he had gone to fulfill his promise to his father, and asked for his father's permission for additional time, although it seemed unlikely to be granted."I don't believe you. You will definitely use this opportunity to run away from me again." His father refused to be fooled by Leo … again. He did not want to give permission to his son."Dad, please give me four more months." Leo pleaded desperately. "After that, I will definitely come back and never leave you again."However, pleading with Mr. Alexander Warren was like pleading with a stone. His heart would never be moved by Leo's sincere desire to help Maya. Mr. Warren only knew profit and loss. Nothing else mattered.Leo had to think of the best way to

Maya decided to keep her pregnancy. The doctor did their best to keep Maya's condition stable, but she had been staying at the hospital for over a month, with unpredictable ups and downs.Leo visited Maya every day after helping with Wilson Group's affairs, as Maya asked for updates every day. The once-attractive man now looked worn out, not from fatigue but because he worried about Maya's condition every day."Leo, I suddenly want to eat oranges," Maya whispered weakly. It was not like her to inconvenience Leo, but this time she really craved oranges."I'll go out for a bit. You wait, okay?" Leo smiled weakly. He stroked Maya's hair with affection and pity. Leo's heart ached every time he thought of Maya's suffering, as she tried to keep her baby despite her worsening condition.A few minutes after Leo left, someone entered Maya's room. The weak woman wondered why Leo came back so soon. "Leo, did you forget something—"Maya's words stopped as she saw who came in. It was not Leo, but

Sabrina walked slowly along the corridor, feeling a pain in her stomach. She didn't expect that today's activity would exhaust her. After all, walking two kilometers from her apartment to the hospital was not an easy task for a pregnant woman like her.The gentle ringtone of her phone startled Sabrina. She then answered the call from her husband. Sabrina was very anxious. She was afraid that Adam had already come home earlier and found their apartment empty."Sabrina, where are you?" Adam asked with a worried tone."I...I went out for a moment. My pregnancy supplements ran out," Sabrina answered, slightly stuttering because she didn't ask Adam's permission to meet Maya today. If her husband knew, he would surely oppose her frontal action. After all, Adam would see it as begging Maya to fix their financial situation."Where are you? I'll come to pick you up!" Adam sounded really concerned that his wife was out alone. He didn't want anything to happen to Sabrina and their baby. The last

Adam's first punch hit Leo's face. However, Leo successfully blocked the second one."Adam! Stop it! Why did you suddenly hit Leo!" Maya yelled, trying to stop Adam's rage.Adam didn't care. He still tried to attack Leo. Meanwhile, Leo, who could easily defeat his opponent, was busy blocking and defending himself from Adam's attacks. He didn't have the heart to hit Adam because Maya was standing next to him."Hey! Why are you acting like this? Remember, we're in a hospital!" whispered Leo softly but firmly."What did you do to Sabrina, huh? A witness said that my wife fell after a big blonde guy scared her!" Adam replied angrily. "Who else could it be if not you!"Leo frowned. He was confused by Adam's question. He did have some unfriendly chat with Sabrina, but was it really that bad to put her in a critical condition?"It's you! You must have told Leo to scare Sabrina, right? You don't want to see my family happy, do you?" Adam accused Maya now. Adam's eyes, blinded by anger and hat
The Billionaire's Wife and the Mistress 33. Blood is Thicker than Water
The small kitchen in a charming, athletic man's tiny apartment was now filled with the tempting aroma of butter. Not only did the smell of food make the mouth water, but there was also another equally enticing sight. The training pants, which he was wearing in the kitchen, hung too low on his waist, making any woman who looked at it unable to pass a day without feeling hot because of the beautiful sight.If there was a woman there, all five senses would be indulged with worldly pleasures because the sound of the man holding a pan and tongs would make the hearts of all women tremble while talking. Don't ask what sensation it would feel like if that melodious voice whispered in your ear; it was guaranteed that the world's angels would float even though there were no wings attached to their backs.However, at the same time, anyone who saw the man's sad face at the moment would surely feel sorry and wonder why that charming Adonis was upset. The answer was only one. He was worried about h

Five years have passed since Maya’s death. Now, the twins have grown into healthy and active children."Paul, Freya! Come down and finish your breakfast!" Adam shouted from below, calling his two children who could be heard being noisy upstairs as they changed clothes."Dad, Paul hid my doll! I wanted to take it with me when we pick up Uncle Leo at the airport!" Freya replied, her voice almost on the verge of tears. The little girl with dark wavy hair looked more and more like her mother as she grew older."Liar! You forgot where you put your ugly rabbit doll. Don't accuse me randomly!" Paul retorted in a high-pitched voice.Paul’s dark eyes sharply looked at his younger sister, who was smaller in size. He looked a lot like his father at that state. With a stronger and bigger body, he often teased Freya. Even though he was punished many times, teasing his twin was like a drug he would continue to do no matter what the consequences were.This kind of morning commotion in the Wilson man
The Billionaire's Wife and the Mistress 38. The End of the Love Story
Sabrina was supposed to feel like the world and everything in it belonged to her. Maya had left. So had Mr. Paul. Adam was hers, completely. But reality seemed to be mocking her because she felt the opposite. She often remembered her own baby who hadn't survived when she was born prematurely at six months old. Physically, her baby had been in better condition than Maya's twins. She couldn't accept that fate. To make matters worse, why did she have to help take care of Maya's children?Sabrina, who used to hate Mr. Paul because he couldn't love Adam even though he loved his wife very much, has become very understanding of what Mr. Paul did. Not everyone is blessed with compassion like Maya. Sabrina and Mr. Paul are like that.Until this point, Sabrina might have been able to endure because Adam didn't demand that she love the twins. But what made Sabrina's situation difficult was Adam's inability to give her another child naturally.Sometime after Maya left, Adam's biological desires s

Adam's financial management was much better than when he was younger. When he received his salary, he immediately invested some of the money, set aside some for emergencies, and used the rest to cover his family's daily needs.However, Adam's firmness regarding finances was also one of the reasons for Sabrina's annoyance. She didn't agree with all the financial limitations that Adam imposed. She couldn't understand why she couldn't use the luxurious facilities that belonged to Adam's children. Didn't she also occasionally help Adam take care of the twins?"Adam, I just want to borrow this limo once to go to the party. Why won't you allow me?" Sabrina protested loudly. She had already prepared herself beautifully to go to the party and felt very frustrated because her efforts seemed futile. How could a woman with makeup like a queen go to a party in the ordinary family car that Adam drove to work every day? "Even if this belongs to the children, why can't I borrow it once or twice for

That day was the day Adam had been waiting for. Paul and Freya came out of the NICU after having been treated there for ten weeks. Of course, Adam didn't forget to bring Sabrina along to pick up the twins.After all, Sabrina was going to be the stepmother to Paul and Freya. Although Sabrina had initially declined when Adam invited her to visit the kids in the hospital while they were still undergoing treatment, Adam didn't want to give up on bringing them closer. He wanted there to be a bond between mother and child that was established among them."Bree, I'll wait downstairs, okay!" Adam exclaimed nervously. He was really impatient to pick up Paul and Freya.Sabrina did not answer. She lazily applied makeup to her face, hoping that time would pass quickly and Adam would leave her out of boredom. "Sabrina, my love! If you don't come down soon, I'll come up and carry you down. Remember, we're also starting to move to the mansion today!" Adam shouted after waiting for Sabrina for thirty
The Billionaire's Wife and the Mistress 35. Sabrina's Jealousy
A man stepped out of an Uber and stopped at a simple rented house in a suburban area. The man looked tidy, even though his clothes weren't too expensive. It was just a standard quality outfit purchased from a middle-class store. Anyone would never have guessed that the man who got off the ride-sharing service was the CEO of one of the big companies in the city.He had recently returned to his leadership position there after being fired a few months ago by the previous company owner. He could sit back in that position only by the grace of the Almighty. It was just because of His miracle that the man was still given a chance to once again hold an important role in the company that had thrown him away because of the scandal he played.The tired-looking young man slowly unlocked the gate of the rented house so as not to wake the surrounding neighbors. He also carefully opened the front door of the house so as not to wake his wife, who might already be asleep."Are you just coming home?" a

Adam looked at the two little creatures in front of him with tears streaming down his face. So small and fragile. They needed tubes to help them survive."My children...." Adam whispered emotionally, making Leo feel that Maya's decision to hand over her babies to their biological father was the right choice.Blood is thicker than water. That's how it is. Adam loved his children because they were his own flesh and blood."She was so happy when she found out she was pregnant with twins. So was I. I even cursed how lucky you were," Leo recalled the moments when Maya cheered upon finding out the gender of her babies. "If only she was pregnant with a man who truly loved her, it would have been even more joyous. Do you know how Maya felt when she saw you and Sabrina happy when you found out the gender of your baby?"Adam swallowed hard. He looked up remembering all the mistreatment he had given Maya."However, her happiness disappeared when the doctor diagnosed her with severe pre-eclampsia
