All Chapters of A Matter of Wife and Debt: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Javier's PovAfter a moment I could feel her body relax in my arms. The feeling of guilt began to wash over me. if only she had taken one of my cars she won't have had to experience all these a second time. I suppose even the first time was my fault as wellFirst I need to take her home before she gets a cold. Blocking my thoughts I pulled my coat and used it to cover her torn clothes, then I lifted her up into my arms. Carefully, I made my way out of the truck and placed her inside the back seat of my car. I got in and so did Juan who hit the road the next minute. The ride back home was really quiet with her looking out the closed up tinted window. I wonder what could be going through her mind at this moment? She must be tired, possibly replaying what happened to her. In the next few minutes we arrived home. Juan came around and opened the door for me to come down but I have to carry her because I believe she must still be in trauma to think that she was almost raped…because of me

Daniella's PovHis face is so close to mine that our noses could almost touch, I could feel his breathe lightly over my face. My heart thumped in unsteady rhythm in my chest, I swear he could hear it. Staring into his eyes this close, I realize how beautiful they were, hypnotizing too. Maybe that's why I couldn't look away.I find my eyes parting ways with his and landing on his lips which were a bit far from mine.What if he closes the distance and our lips touch?That thought really made my heart thump even more faster. I could feel something in my stomach too. I have never experienced a situation like this.What is this feeling I'm experiencing? The door opening made him come off me, and brought me back to reality. I looked up to see who came in, I felt so embarrassed to see it was Juan. I know I am not meant to be embarrassed because whatever we were doing, it's not wrong as we are couples.Wait!What am I even talking about? Whatever we were doing? We weren't even doing anythin

Third Person's PovShe picked up her baby from the nursery cradle where the nurses had kept him. She had delivered about few days ago and really delighted when she discovered the gender of her baby. She knew that this baby will be her ticket back to the life she once walked out on.Her thoughts got interrupted when her private ward door went opened and Diego walked in. She suddenly felt irritation at the sight of him.“What are you doing here, Diego?” She asked, making sure he knew how displeased she is to see him.“You delivered for days now and you couldn't inform me about it?” Diego asked, sadly.“Now you know, what difference does it make?”“Vicky…”“What is it you want Diego?” She asked, trying to control how pissed she is right now.“I am here to see my child, and you mi amor.” He said and she scoffed.“How many times do I have to tell you that this child doesn't belong to you.” She said, trying not to raise her voice.“If this child isn't mine, then whose baby is it?” Diego ask

Daniella's PovI find myself waking up to the knock on my door, I groaned as I sat up. I looked at the wall clock.7am.It feels like it's been a short night. The knock on the door came again, snapping me out of my thoughts. I came down from the bed and made my way to the door. I opened it to see it was Penelope.“Good morning Penelope.” I greeted with a small smile.“It's time to wish Natalia, come on.” Penelope gestured in excitement.I almost forgot about that!“Oh dear, Give me a sec.” I said and made my way to my bed.I grabbed my gown robe and made my way out to where Penelope was waiting for me outside. I almost came to a halt when I saw Javier standing right in front of Natalia's door with the cake we made last night.Thinking about last night made me recall our moment from last night and it brought some weird tingles. He signalled Penelope and I to come over already which we did. Reaching to where he stood was only when I found Juan standing there too, looking all profession

Daniella's Pov“Apparently, her parents coerced her into the marriage because of my wealth. It was all about the money… all about it. But then and there I wanted to throw away all the confession she made if only she could look into my eyes and tell me she loved me a little bit. She didn't..” he said, looking all emotional.I really don't know what to say or how to react right now. How could I have known Javier is this broken on the inside?All the while I thought he would be the reason why his ex-wife left, but I was wrong. A part of me felt guilty for accusing him so wrongly in my thoughts.He had loved Victoria, I could see that in his glistening eyes as he told his story. He had loved her and she broke him beyond words. What could I do to console him?I found myself taking slow steps towards him and soon, I was beside him. With shaking hands, I gently guided his head to rest in the embrace of my arms.. Surprisingly, he didn't resist. “Do you know what hurt the most?” He asked and
