All Chapters of My Husband's Secret: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alfonso's MansionColumbus, Ohio, US. 10 AM"What did you come for?" Claire stepped away—trying to put some distance between herself and Michael.Michael raised an eyebrow. He looked at her calmly as if feeling innocent about what had happened yesterday. "Let’s go home,"Claire shook her head, “I'm going home with Mommy. You go home first.""What did you come here for?" Michael stepped closer, "let's go home." he repeated his order."I told you that I'm going home with Mommy.""And I've also asked what you came here for?" Michael answered quickly."Are you blind?" Claire muttered under her breath, "As I remember, I was the one who was blind, so you—"Her sentence was cut off because Michael grabbed her arm and kissed her hard.Claire's eyes widened as her hands moved uncomfortably in Michael's grip.He pushed her away—cornering her between the wall and his arm.Michael's kiss was hard—rough and demanding. Ss if his kiss was not out of love but anger—great frustration."Michael," Clair

Michael’s Another MansionYonkers, New York, US 8 PMClaire was amazed when she saw the beautiful nature in front of her—the towering trees, the mountains that could be seen from the balcony of her room in the darkness of the night, then the sounds of birds and night animals that could be heard shouting—as if they were welcoming Claire to this place.This place is Michael's other home, a secluded place in the woods. Built on a cliff so she can see the canyon on the back balcony, while her bedroom balcony looks out over the beautiful mountains. She had heard the sound of running water when walking on the back balcony. And a maid said that there was a river at the bottom of the ravine—circling their mansion and ending at a waterfall not far away. She couldn't wait until tomorrow morning to see the sunrise in her room. Or maybe walk down the river and explore the forest.The building of this house is dominated by the glass—a magnificent mansion built in the middle of a forest like a stun

Williams MansionManhattan, New York, US. 17 Years ago"Can I have your bread?" A soft voice from beside him made Mikael turn his head reluctantly.Claire blinked her round eyes as she held out a plate to him."Didn't you already get your own bread?" He glanced at the traces of jam on the edge of Claire's plate. “You are greedy,” he muttered."Come on," Claire pursed her lips, "Mommy forbade the maids to give me chocolate jam." She spoke in a low voice—afraid that someone would hear her voice.Michael looked around him. Only the two of them were having breakfast at the mansion's large dining table, but a few maids were standing not far from them—watching whether they were eating properly or not. Meanwhile, as usual, John and Josephine weren't home."Then you think I'll share my bread with you?" Mikael rolled his eyes.Even though he had known Claire for three years, he still often felt irritated by the behavior of that orphanage girl.Well, now Claire has indeed changed. Her appearanc

Michael's MansionManhattan, New York, US. 10 AMIt's been almost two weeks since their wedding. And… nothing happened.Claire didn't know how many times she had held back tears over breakfast with Michael in the morning. Or how many times she lowered her head to avoid looking at Michael at dinner. Or how many times she had stopped herself from following Michael into the guest room at night.Two weeks passed, but their relationship did not get better. They only got worse.Claire had forgotten the last time she heard Michael call her name or she called his name to get his attention.They get married and live in the same house but act like two strangers who don't know each other.On the fourth day, when they lived in Yonkers—Michael's mansion in the middle of the forest, she finally returned to Manhattan with Theo.Yes, Theo, not Michael. He just left without saying anything, so Theo was the one who took her home.On the way home, Claire had asked Theo where Michael was—which was diffic

New York, US. 2 PMClaire took in a slow breath before exhaling slowly.Her heart was pounding when she saw a group of men dressed in black waiting for her at the end of the hospital corridor—among the ruins of buildings after the bombing.The hall is empty. There wasn't a single person there as if this place had been vacated beforehand—as if all of this had been planned.Her hands clenched tightly. In her heart, she tried to count the seconds that she passed—hoping that Theo would immediately enter the hospital and find her.Stupid. She shouldn't have asked Theo to wait outside.If only she had known all this was coming, then she would have allowed Theo to come with her. She knew that Michael had hired Theo as her bodyguard for a reason, even though she didn't know Michael's reason yet.And Michael…Where is he? Why… he wasn't here when Claire needed him the most?Thinking about Michael made her feel even sadder. The fear that filled her heart was no greater than her sadness for Mich
