All Chapters of The Vendetta of the Returned Wife : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"Because they're having an affair behind your back" and because Lisandra was sick in the head. Despite knowing that was Gwen's favorite restaurant and that she frequently went there with her fiance, she still chose to eat there. As if she didn't care if Gwen caught them or not. "Why?" Gwen asked tears streaming down her face. Taking her bag and Gwen's, she paid for their food and then herded her out of the restaurant. She was still in shock after seeing her fiancé and best friend cheating on her. Emilia was counting on that shock to last longer or at least until they got home. It was one thing to tell Gwen the truth and it was another to let her make a public spectacle of herself. It would be better if she just confronted Lisandra somewhere private. She cried all the way home and Emilia let her. Finding out the person you loved with your best friend had to be one of the worst betrayals. For Gwen, it had to be worse because she'd trusted Li

"I'm sorry, did you just say kidnap or am I hearing things?" "It sounds funny. Doesn't it? The idea of me kidnapping you so you wouldn't sign a contract." "Not funny but unreasonable." "Okay, let's forget about it then but don't say I didn't warn you," she told him knocking his hands away and leaving. Max stared at the door in confusion. He had so many questions but knew she wasn't going to answer any of them. Once in a while, her stubborn streak would make an appearance and he was afraid this was one of those times. He thought to ignore what she'd said but then a strange thought flit through his mind, making his stomach drop. Was that the reason she'd come back? Because she knew about the contract? Who sent her and what would she gain if he listened to her? Had everything been a lie? The contract she was referring to involved a new shipping company. They had a deal with another company before but it tur

"Good morning, my love" Max paused beside his car, looking puzzled. She'd slept in her room and hadn't bothered to go down for breakfast. He probably thought she was still mad at him hence his reaction. "Going to work?" "No. I'm going with you today" Emilia answered, rummaging through her bag to see if she had forgotten anything. "Going where? To my office?" "Yeah. Where else are you going?" "What is this about Em?" "You won't listen to me so I'll go with you and put a stop to it myself" "Have you seriously lost it? I'm about to sign a really important contract and instead of being honest, you're freezing me out. I didn't like sleeping alone and the way you're behaving is starting to piss me off" "Suck it up, baby. I'm all good so let's go" "We're not going anywhere" "That is even better. We can go back inside and start on th

She was like a magnet that men couldn't help but be drawn to. In the few hours they'd been separated, how had she found another moron who looked like he was ready to step in front of a moving car for her? Her friend Hendrix saw him first and whispered something to her. She looked up, saw him and the smile on her face disappeared, which only made him angrier. Why wasn't she happy to see him? He was her husband. She couldn't smile at other men and give him a frown. Max moved to stand between her and the other moron, asking, "Wife, you better be dressed like that for me" "Excuse me?" "Mr. Carter, what a surprise. Why are you here?" Hendrix cut in before he could answer. A wise man would have thanked him for the save but when it came to his wife, Max was anything but wise. Especially when other men were involved. He'd barely gotten her back. "You were dressed differently when we lef

Max watched her sleep, her chest rising and falling in rhythmically. He loved the little pout she made while she slept or was in deep concentration. The moment they arrived, she told him she was going to take a shower and he'd thought he could catch her before she was done but Zander had decided he was hungry. And because the kid was still mad at him, he spent longer than necessary to tell him what he wanted. A part of him had been tempted to throw Emilia under the bus and he would have done it if he thought Zander would believe it. To him, his mother could never do wrong. They finally decided to have a sandwich each and Max tried to bribe him with another game but ended up promising to get him two. They shook on it and reconciled. Being the overachiever he was, he told him about the vacations they took when they were young and the ridiculous stuff Darren used to do that landed them in trouble. Before he knew it, an hour had passed. By the time he got to their room,
