All Chapters of Collateral Wife: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CHAPTER 62LIAM'S POVMaybe the club incident was a wrong move. Okay, I admit it, it was. Because now I'm on lockdown and my father is really determined to disown me this time. I guess I'd pushed him to the limits.It wasn't my fault though that I turned out this way. When I needed both my parents, they were too busy working and fighting with each other and never cared about me. I had both my parents but I felt like an orphan. I would have preferred being an orphan.They argued a lot and at age four, I already knew what the word 'mistress' and 'affair' meant. Because it constituted a major part of their fight. It simply meant that Dad didn't like his family and wanted to be with someone else. That was exactly what my step uncle explained to me. He said my parents didn't want to be together and they were only putting up with each other because of me. So I grew up with the guilt, that I was ruining my parent's lives and they wouldn't be together if it weren't for me. Uncle Adams told me

CHAPTER 64TRISHA'S POV.Dayna was calling me. I could see her name boldly written on my screen but somehow,I just sat there, watching the phone ring.She had been sending me pictures of Lorena for a few days as proof that they'd had their eyes on her and that they'd make their move soon. I trusted her. She had done it before and to this day, no one ever found out who did it. She was that thorough.So I couldn't explain the fear that paralyzed me when I saw her call. Maybe it was because this was the first time I'd actually ordered a hit on someone. The first one wasn't really my idea. I had already grown tense when I got nothing from her for a few days and now she was calling me.I picked up the phone and answered. "How did it go?""His tracker got turned off.""What do you mean?""My men, they have a tracker that monitors their heartbeat. Helps me check if they're still alive and where they are. His tracker got turned off and that means he's dead.""I..I don't understand." What the

CHAPTER 66LORENA'S POV.I couldn't focus at all during the lecture. I just sat there, letting my mind wander. These past few days had been filled with surprises and I was yet to recover from everything.I was right. Andrew had heard my mom talking about Jonathan Railings. He was smart not to mention that we'd had dealings with him already and besides, I had no idea he was my father when I'd met him. But now I had gotten really curious about him and a part of me wanted to know more."What are you going to do?" He'd asked when we were finally alone. "Jonathan Railings and I have already signed a contract and the company's already working on the supplies. We can't escape him anymore.""I know, and you shouldn't have to go back on the deal because this was the only way your father would let us be together. And it would make him suspicious too if you suddenly pull out. I know he has his suspicions already, it just didn't make sense to me then.""What do you mean?""Remember when he asked

CHAPTER 68EVA'S POVI didn't know how I managed to contain my anger until we got home. Well, after all these years I guess I've had to learn to be cool headed in front of other people. There were too many people in the car and I couldn't risk losing it in front of them.That woman, Lorena. Her face still clouded my mind and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake off the feeling that she was bad news. It was even worse that my husband had known her for weeks. Did he see what I saw? Certainly it wasn't just all in my head. She looked like Ariana Shepherd quite a lot and even if there were little differences, the resemblance was still uncanny. There was no way Jonathan wouldn't have noticed it too especially with how obsessed he'd been with her.He headed up the stairs immediately, loosening his tie as he ascended."I heard there was an incident with Liam. I knew that boy would always try to embarrass me but I keep giving him chances. Let him know this is his first strike and I'm

CHAPTER 70TRISHA'S POVThe large sign hanging from the ceiling read. "TEE'S HOUSE OF LUXURY." Another one read "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISHA." and it was surrounded with colorful balloons and decor which I thought were a tad too childish but I guess I would allow it since everyone got a little childish on their birthdays.It was finally the day I had looked forward to with anticipation. The day I would make Andrew mine.I'd heard he was in London for business and he really had hit it big, partnering with the largest conglomerate in London so I knew he would leave me now. He had no reason to be with me anymore and his father would no longer insist on it. My father was angry at that family now as well and it took a lot of convincing to let me invite him to my opening ceremony and my birthday. What neither of them knew was that I had my own plans and I did not intend to let Andrew go.Everything was ready. I knew exactly what to do to make him mine but still, the thought of it scared me. I'd b
