All Chapters of The Vendetta of the Returned Wife : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Max stopped inside the door, his gaze bouncing between the two women sleeping. His eyes remained fixed on the beeping monitor as he blinked multiple times, trying to control the overwhelming emotions. His mother lay on the bed with tubes stuck in her arm. Next to her, Lisandra was sleeping after spending the night looking after her. Whenever he thought of scenarios like that, the person standing beside him was always Emilia. She would support him through hard times and her presence would calm him. Because she was his anchor. But at the moment, he felt lost. Unsure of how to react to everything happening around him. One second he was thinking of what to get his pregnant wife and the next she was nowhere to be found. His mother was in the hospital and his sister claimed it was his wife's doing.Of course, he didn't believe it. Emilia, his sweet Emilia, would never hurt a fly. If she had been the one lying in that bed and she told him his mother did it, Max would have believed it. He kne

"What are you looking at?""Nothing""You’ve got to be kidding me. Are you waiting for her?""She's my wife Nash. Why wouldn't I wait for her?""Because she just went to see another man, you pussy whipped moron" Nash said going to stand beside him. “She’s been back for a few days and already, she has you wrapped around her pinky”"Fuck off. She took Zander with her and I’m afraid she’ll disappear with him again" that was total bullshit and he didn’t try to pretend otherwise. Nash could see right through him."Yeah, you keep telling yourself that man. I can't believe you still trust her so much after what she did""Giving her my credit card doesn't mean I trust her. It was for Zander’s sake" Another lie. Giving Emilia that card was a sign that he still trusted her completely. He could have come up with excuses about how he knew she was going out with Zander but that would have been a lie.Max didn't care what she did with that card. He just wanted to make her happy. If he gave h

"Where do you think you’re going? I’m still talking to you""I’m not doing this with you right now," Emilia hastened her steps, hoping she could get away from her mother-in-law. She was scared and had spent the last two days hiding from her. Making sure they didn’t cross paths. Normally, she would face Genevieve Carter and have it out with her, but the doctor told her to take care of herself. She had to be careful."No one walks away from me. Do you understand?""We'll talk later when... Aaah! " she screamed when Genevieve grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled her to a stop."You will learn to respect me little girl or I will teach you how it's done""Let go of me, Genevieve. You're hurting me""It is Mrs. Carter to trash like you. Now listen carefully. This is the last time I will tell you to leave my son alone. He doesn't deserve to be married to the likes of you""And what is wrong with me? What does Lisandra have that I don’t?" She asked, tears pricking her eyes. If on

"What?""Instead of painting me as the bad guy, why don’t you find out what the truth is""You're saying that because you know my mother can't defend herself? You know she can't talk, so you're using her to manipulate me""Wouldn't you like that?" She spat out, taking a step toward him, “In your eyes, I'm the bad guy. Have been for the past nine years and since you're a coward and don't want to face the truth, you want to keep thinking that I am the villain. Right?""I am not a coward. You fucking ran to avoid criminal charges.""Fine. Since you don't believe me, why don't you ask Mel what happened? She was there, she saw everything, and she was the one who took me to the hospital," Emilia told him, then left. Max stared at her, and for the hundredth time, he wondered who she was.True, his mother didn't approve of her as his wife, but she wouldn't go as far as to push Emilia down the stairs. Not when she knew his wife was pregnant. It was a lie. They were all lies. "Max...""N

Emilia watched as Max pulled Lisandra to the study and locked them inside, wondering if he had taken her advice about going back to that witch. She'd told him they were done, but for him to actually do as she said? Was he serious? He was never going to learn. It didn't matter whether she was around or not, that crazy woman had him wrapped around her fingers.From the first day Emilia had met her, she'd known what kind of woman Lisandra was. Sly, opportunist, social climber with a heart as black as coal. She was the kind of person who would go to any lengths to get what she wanted. It wouldn’t be a surprise if she had actual bones in her closet. It was clear she didn't love Max or she wouldn't be having an affair with Gwen's fiancé. This raised a question that had never occurred to anyone in the Carter family: What exactly did she want from them? If she wasn't fighting to stay in that family for love, then what was it? Any other woman in her position would have left, especially after
