All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Drake’s POVThe morning sun filtered in through the windows, casting a soft golden glow across the Chase family estate. It should have been a peaceful day, instead, I felt the tension as I entered into the grand living room to see suitcases by the door. My grandmother was bustling about, giving instructions to the household staff to pack her things into the car.My heart sank as I had hoped that, with the argument of yesterday still hot, we could all cool off and move on from it. But with a vision of my grandmother ready to leave, it felt like a blow to my stomach."Grandmother," I said, walking forward, "what are you doing?"The old woman glanced over her shoulder but did not stop the ordering about of the staff. "What does it look like, Drake? I'm moving out."I blinked, taken aback for a second by the casual tone in which she let such bombshells drop. "You can't just leave like this. Where would you go?"She waved her hand dismissively. "I have other properties, Drake. You forget

Valerie’s POV I wrapped myself in a world of color and creativity in the small back room of the art supply store, but my mind was somewhere else. The old woman who had taken up residence with Drake and Charlotte had just shared her ambitious plan with me. As I listened to the details, shock gave way to intrigue and excitement."You can't be serious," I said, my eyes wide. "You want me to live there with you? To be a part of all this?The old woman nodded, her eyes gleaming with the determined sparkle of mischief. "Yes, dear, I have been watching Charlotte for far too long. They are so confident, in their little bubble. But you and I, we can change that, can't we? We can turn things upside down for her.".My heart skittered as I absorbed the possibilities. "And you really think I can just walk in there and do that? What if they don't want me around?"The old woman waved a dismissive hand. "They don't get a say in this. You're strong, and you know how to play the game. Plus, having

Drake’s POVAs I drove toward the hospital, my heart was racing, the road was starting to blur through my tears. The phone call from Jasmine was a shock in itself, but then to hear my grandmother died in that accident had felt like a gut punch that was leaving me hollow and worn out. I hadn't spent enough time with her, hadn't told her enough how much she meant to me after staying away so long. The more miles I covered in his hurry to get to the hospital, the more my guilt chewed me up.The parking lot now in sight, I parked hastily and fumbled with shaking hands with my seatbelt. I ran inside the hospital, unbothered by the half-curious looks passing patients and staff gave me as I breezed down the corridors. My mind was filled with thoughts of my grandmother. She had a stern, but loving manner, full of wisdom and unwavering strength. It wasn't until recently that I had known how much she meant to me, and now it was too late. She’s gone. My brain couldn’t accept the reality, it was t

Valerie's POV.Drake stopped in front of his home and I just couldn't believe he lived here alone with Charlotte. I have never been here because when we were still together, he made sure he came to see me in the penthouse. Whenever I asked to come see him he would always decline. I never imagined that I would one day be here, Even though I thought that, Not in this way. I looked at Drake who was trying to turn off the engine of his car. If only we would love happily together, What would have been our relationship now, if all this didn't happen? Maybe we would both be carrying our child happily. I sighed, I don't want to go back thinking about the past. Time isn't going to pause or go back just for me. What is done is already done, I can't change things.Besides, I shouldn't be thinking about this, Rather, I should be making plans on how to make both their lives miserable in here, Love isn't my priority now, I was already failed by love, believing it again would be so stupid of me, Bu

Drake's POV.Sitting in the living room, my eyes on my phone, Ron walked past me, he was coming out from Valerie's room. I wasn't bothered that he went in there, I was only Jealous, How Valerie always welcomes him with open arms. I stood up from my seat and walked to Valerie's room. Without knocking, I opened the door only to see her unpacking her clothes. “Yes you have to” I said to her, it is unclear to me why she is surprised and shocked about following my rules. This is my home, and she would live the way I want, “Don't you want to do that?” I asked and she didn't reply.I sat down on the sofa, She stood still in front of me, I really wanted to ask her to sit, but I just couldn't. One is my pride, and the other is because I'm still angry because of her relationship with Ron. Ron is someone I would never want Valerie to have anything to do with, But it seems everything is not going my way, She already has a full trust in Ron and Him, I'm sure he is definitely planning something, T
