All Chapters of The Vendetta of the Returned Wife : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"Ugh, can you believe him, Thea? How could he pass his mistress down to his brother? What is wrong with him? Why did I marry that asshole?" Emilia breathed down the phone, pacing in front of the bed. Darren saw the best in people so he probably didn't know Lisandra's true nature but she thought Max had already found out. Why hadn't he kicked her out of that house yet?"Are you angry or jealous?" "JEALOUS OF WHAT?" She roared "Don't you get it? I'm trying to kick her out of this house but it feels like he's holding onto her. He doesn't want her but he can't let her go either" "Hate to break it to you, but that sounds a lot like jealousy" Emilia felt like punching a wall. Were they blind? Why couldn't they understand the reason she wanted Lisandra gone? Maybe a small part of her was jealous but the bigger part wanted her away from Zander and the Carter family in general. If she continued living in that house, they would never know peace. Besides,

Max seized the guy up and decided everything about him was average. Starting from his ugly-ass face and his yellow teeth had to be a turn-off for women. Why was he still smiling? Who had lied to him about standing a chance with Emilia anyway? She was a goddess. He couldn't keep his eyes off her and knowing other men would approach her, even if it was for a simple chat, made him territorial. She belonged to him. Throwing a possessive arm around her waist, he pulled her into his side and turned to Fabbri. "If you will excuse us, we have important guests to attend to," he said, hoping the guy would get the underlying meaning. He wasn't important. "See you later, Mr. Fabbri," Emilia said over her shoulder as he was pulling her away. He didn't care that he was dragging her or that several eyes were on them. "What is wrong with you?" "Why would you go on a date with that loser?" "It's none of your business. Hands off me, Max" "Not happenin

"Oh my gosh, did we get married again?" Emilia squeaked, raising her hand to inspect her finger while the other covered her mouth. She'd come back with bare hands and thanks to his possessiveness, he had bought her another ring. If she insisted on calling herself Mrs. Carter, it was only right she wore a wedding ring. Max had been wondering when to give it to her and how to make her wear it without getting on her bad side. Luckily, she'd given him an opening and he'd be a fool not to take it. He still couldn't believe she'd suggested they renew their vows. Granted, she'd been trying to stick it to Lisandra but he wasn't complaining.Her inebriated state was thanks to her friend Jennings and as much as he wanted her to be sober that night, he'd take anything he got. The little talk they'd had earlier hadn't even covered half of their issues. He knew they had a long way to go but as long as Emilia gave him a chance, he'd rectify all his mistakes. When she wrapped her hands ar

Emilia was huffing and puffing because Max insisted on taking her to pick up Zander. She didn't mind him going with her but she needed space to clear her head. Things were happening too fast and she wanted to talk to someone about it. What if sleeping with Max was a mistake? Was it too soon to forgive him? Her biggest fear was finding out they had no feelings for each other. Maybe their love had fizzled out and whatever they felt was because they were clinging to memories. She needed another person's perspective. An outsider who could judge their situation without being biased. But it seemed like Max was afraid of letting her go anywhere for fear she might disappear again. Even though she'd told him she wasn't angry, he was still waiting for the other shoe to drop. "What if paparazzi ambush you?" He asked, his argument weak. Just because people had found out she was his wife didn't mean she'd become famous overnight. It would be a wonder if her face mad

"Define new" Emilia said squirming under Thea's penetrating gaze. She had this thing where she only stared at a person until they felt compelled to tell her everything she knew. And while she'd gone to Thea's house for advice, she didn't want to talk about the argument they'd had before leaving the house. It proved Max didn't trust her and she didn't want Thea to know that. Not after she'd made a fool of herself by renewing their vows and sleeping with him. But her friend was going to coax everything out of her before pointing out the reasons she shouldn't be with Max. Which was what she needed to hear but didn't want to. Love turned her into an idiot. After the night they'd had, Emilia wanted someone to tell her everything would be alright. That she wasn't building castles in the air and their issues would resolve themselves. Maybe she should have gone to Sawyer and Hendrix. They were hopeless romantics and would probably convince her Lis
