The Vendetta of the Returned Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

     "How's your vacation?"TC snorted "This isn't a vacation. I got here yesterday and scouted the property twice. It was clear but I have this nagging feeling that something isn't right so I'm keeping one eye open" "Even so, you're still in Hawaii man. Why isn't my job as interesting as yours?" "Stop complaining and find me the link between Carter Industries and the Russians. Max might not have signed that deal but I need to know how he got in touch with them in the first place" "He has a lot of employees. It'll take some time before I can look through all of them" "Then stop yapping and get on with it. I'd like to... Shit! I gotta go. I see a dog sniffing around" he hung up and got out of his chair. Luckily, Carter had agreed to install cameras outside and a motion sensor that only sent notifications to their phones when tripped. He brought up the image to find a guy dressed in a white T-shirt and black trousers creeping around the

     Emilia was walking back home from the beach when she felt a chill run down her spine. They'd spent the whole day in the water and Max was chasing Zander back to the house after teaching him how to surf. With all the things they'd done, she wondered how they still had the energy to run around. Although, she couldn't deny that it made her happy to see them that way. It wasn't hard for Zander to call Max dad anymore and he didn't overreact every time he found them arguing. He was comfortable with him, like how father and son should be. She realized she was the happiest when they were both happy. Finally, they were the family she'd longed for and she wanted it to always be like that. But lately, she had been feeling uneasy. As if someone was watching her. Yesterday she had decided to take a walk in the evening and she could have sworn someone was following her. She didn't see anyone but she felt it. And today she also had the same feeling. Was it her paranoia or was somet

                    "Hey, buddy? What did you bring your favorite uncle?" "You're my only uncle and I brought you a shirt. Dad said you'd love it" Zander said. "If your father said I'd love it then I will definitely not love it. Let's see it, the sooner the disappointment, the faster I'll get over it" "Let's go. It's in my bag" Hand in hand, Zander and Darren went up the stairs. Emilia smiled, sitting on the arm of the chair Max had just sat on but he dragged her onto his lap and nuzzled his nose on the crook of her neck. She sighed. "Darren's right. It's as if he knows you picked something awful for him" Max grumbled "It's not awful. I like that shirt" "Then why didn't you get one for yourself?" "It's too bright," he said then realizing he was contradicting himself, he grinned up at her "I guarantee Dar will love it. He's my brother and I know him" "It's your birthday that's coming up soon. Let's see wh

  "Hey, do you have time for lunch? We need to talk" "I was on vacation and today is my first day back at work. I don't think I'll be able to breathe let alone have lunch" "It's important Em" "How about tomorrow then?" "Dammit, just come see me. I managed to free up my lunch today and I can't say it over the phone" Thea was grumpy sometimes but never snappy. The fact that she sounded so curt made Emilia sit up. "What's wrong Thea?" "Lunch. I'll come to you at the hotel" she answered then hung up. The call put her on edge. Instead of concentrating on her work, she spent the whole morning wondering why Thea wanted to have lunch urgently until one of the employees came to get her. Apparently, one of the guests complained about them and he wanted to see the manager. Since he'd booked one of the VIP suites, Emilia couldn't ignore him. "What happened?" she asked the woman who was part of the executive housekeeping team

Earlier that day "I'm bored," Gwen said getting up. She'd been spending her time with Lisandra or Albert but now that she had broken up with both of them, she had nothing to do or anyone to talk to. She found it funny how her life had revolved around those two. First Lisandra since they were teenagers then after Albert came into her life, she'd split her time between them. It scared her to think what would have happened if she hadn't seen their true colors. At least she had the chance to start over before it was too late. But she was at a loss for what to do. Staying at home all day was starting to get old. At first, she was hurting too much to realize what time of day it was. But after Darren took her out and she met Trent, she realized just how long the days were when she had nothing to do. It made her wonder if it was time to get a job. As the youngest in the Carter family, her family had given her whatever she wanted. Sometimes she didn't even have to ask, Ma
