All Chapters of Two Wives (English): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"WE NEED YOU here, Meredith," Ellwood told me. "Yeah, I know that," I replied in a hoarse voice. "Hey, are you alright? You're not taking care of yourself, are you?" I shook my head at the tone of his voice. His voice lowered one decibel due to the sudden fluctuation of his emotion. "I'm fine, Ellie." I said in a whisper-like voice, stopping myself from coughing. I felt really heavy these past few days, I'm just pushing myself to still gi to work despite having a fever. I leaned against the sofa when I heard him heave a deep breath. "You're lying," he stated. "I'm fine, I swear..." I lied but he didn't respond. I sighed frustratedly and lolled my head at the sofa. With his attitude right now, I feel like my fever just broke the mercury thermometer. "Tell mom, I'll be home next week." "Make it as early as you could, I'm running out of reasons. Tita might find out if you'll stay there longer." Ellie sounde

JUST LIKE EARLIER, my eyes blinked repeatedly in bewilderment. My heart pounded so loud that I almost couldn't hear anything but its beating. "Don't worry, it's a business party." He maliciously chuckled. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't," I abruptly refused. Why doesn't he just invite Alessandra instead of me? "Again, it's a business matter," he clearly said to me. "Why don't you present your wife instead of me?" His brows creased and looked at me darkly. "Alessandra has nothing to do with this, besides, Marcus and Sarah will both attend the party tonight. I sighed heavily at that, if I didn't know Alessandra or if he was another person, I'd probably go with him. But hell, yes! He is my husband, and as the world gets smaller between us, the more I want to just go away. This is what I wanted in the first place, to be close to him. But not that way, I don't want to put him at too much risk just because I can't decide what's better for us both. "I'm sorry, I don't really feel well tod

I FROZE in my seat, suddenly feeling warm all over. I remained silent, stupefied, and baffled at his compliment. The fiery warmth blazed on my cheeks, creating a red powdery tint from being flustered. I was relieved because the lights were a bit dimmed, the disco ball was the only source of light emitting. "Uh, t-thank you..." was the only thing I replied as I tried to recover. I straightened my body as I coughed the clog inside my throat. I thought he'll sit properly as well, but I was wrong when he held my wrist tightly yet gently. "Dance with me..." he uttered. Before I could even refuse his offer, he already pulled me softly from my seat. He's too strong and dominating that even though he's just gently leading me to the dance floor, I just can't get out of his grasp—or maybe I chose to not get out of his grasp. He can surely hold me effortlessly, even my heart seconds the motion. Because of the big crowd on the dance floor, no one noticed us coming to the center. Despite that

"ISEAH! Mery brought you something." Kesha bragged the book she was holding. He didn't respond, instead, he continued walking until he reached the end of the staircase. "Are you done with your homeworks?" "Of course, we're done!" Zia quickly said. She carried the luggage to their living room and placed it on the table. "Stop that. Ready our dinner," he demanded at the two as his eyes never left me. "Good evening, I heard you just came from your office. How's work?" He remained mum while his eyes lingered at me, not minding the question.I asked a while ago. I quickly glanced at Carding, he got the message and nodded his head before turning his back on us. "What brings you here?" he asked after a few seconds of silence. "I-I came here for a visit, I also have something for you..." I almost whispered. I lowered my head a bit at the intensity of his eyes. I can feel the anger of his heart through them. "Brin

Also, buying a ten-wheeler truck for our mining business was not a joke, even the two private planes used to export our products. There are also a few elf vans that are used to deliver the fabrics, and last but not the least, the armor truck we acquired for the safety of the sales from our jewelry shop and other businesses around Queensland. I understand that, I know it's a bit too much, but it's not bad to ask for something once in a while, right? I am the only child, soon, I'll be the president of our own company. With that being said, I still don't have a car to run errands with?! I know it's kinda childish and immature, my reasoning are not as concrete, but can't they let me have it just once? I was shaking my head while Ellwood's car arrived. It's almost seven in the morning and I'm running late on my first class. "What took you so long?!" I closed the door loudly and crossed my arms as I sat on the passenger seat. I didn't bother to put on my se
