Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

In my haste to make a run for the bathroom, I almost fell flat on my face. I managed to untangle the bedsheet around me and within seconds, I was kneeling before the toilet bowl and puking my guts out."Mrs. Baldwin?" A gentle voice called."Almost done." I replied amidst vomits. My maid, Lisa, waited until I was done. I flushed, then gently stood to go rinse my mouth and wash my hands by the sink."Yes, Lisa?" I turned to her when I was done."Your tea is ready, ma'am. It'll help calm your stomach." She said."Thank you. Where's my husband? Did he return home last night?" I was still weak but my stomach was stable a bit.Christian had not been home last night. Due to my morning sickness and other pregnancy-induced factors, I had been unable to wait for him."I think he's in his room." She commented, following me obediently back into our matrimonial bedroom."In his room? You have no idea if he came into our room last night?" That was new. Why was he in his room? We both had our sep

I walked back into the restaurant. I allowed my eyes roamed the place, I spotted where he was seated. I marched towards his table. He was with some men. There were glasses of wine before them and a bottle.There was the waitress who had served me coming towards me. "Ma'am, here's your bill. I..."I ignored her and focused on the table of these men. I randomly picked two glasses still filled with wine and emptied their contents on him, angry tears filling my eyes."I hope your conscience haunts you everyday of your life!" I took the other two wine glasses while he stared in shock and also poured them on him. "I hope you never find peace and may your marriage, if you have any, and life in general be ruined the same way you ruined mine." I wiped tears with the back of my hand. "I hope karma visits you and steal your happiness as you have stolen mine."I turned away from his table and, on heavy legs and with a despaired heart, walked to mine to get my bag. I opened it and brought my card

"Where are you taking me to?" I asked, taking note of the different route he was driving.He had come to bail me few minutes ago. I had spent thirty six hours in a holding cell. I'd had my morning sickness just this morning and it was a kind female cop that had helped me with a bucket.I was itchy and unkempt but I didn't care about my physical looks, not when my heart was bruised. This emotional turmoil was too much for me."Is that the apology you should be rendering?" His tone was as I'd heard it the last time — unfriendly and hard."You want me to apologize to you after what you've done to me?" My voice shook badly with sadness and disbelief.I blinked back tears. "Take me to my husband, let's go talk to him. You're the only one who can clear this air! You had sex with me.""Shut up!" He bellowed.His deep angry voice had me flinching as though he'd slapped me. "Someone — who was definitely not me — had sex with you and you didn't even know?! What are you? A child? How can a full

The click of heels coming from the foyer subdued every conversation. Only Martha was exclaiming in anger. "What the hell, Pete?!"A girl came into view. To say she was beautiful, was understating it. She looked like a goddess and even walked like one. But something told me she was going to be one evil goddess.I might be wrong."Hey babe." She squealed as soon as she saw Jared and ran to him."Hey, baby." Jared was happy to see her as well. He stood and hugged her. They exchanged a brief kiss. I should not be watching them display their affection so openly but I couldn't help it. Someone cleared their throat, I jerked my eyes away to meet Martha's hateful one. She had seen me moping hopelessly at them like some pervert.Ashamed, I brought my head down. I couldn't even look at Uncle Pete to know if he had seen or not. "So who is marrying who?" She asked again, taking in everyone's faces. She stopped when she got to mine, a small frown appeared. "Who is she?"Pulling her close to him

My phone rang while I was in the room. I had been given a room in the Johnson's mansion but Jared and his Martha were mad at me for not agreeing to the marriage yet.That was after I'd changed my initial yes to a solid no. They would not understand. I had everything to lose and they would just enjoy the proceeds of this marriage into the Johnson family.Uncle Pete was the only one who was patient with me and he was also asking Jared to be patient with me too. Excitement and nerves bloomed in the pit of my stomach when I saw the caller ID. Christian.Had he changed his mind? Was this going to work for me after all?Eager to find out, I picked. "Hello.""Hey. Uhmm...I need to see you." He said.I gauged his tone. It was calm. There was none of the meanness or bitterness when he talked to me. It was as if we were back to how we used to be. "Okay, where?" This was too real to be true but I had to believe that Dad's advice was saving my marriage.Maybe he was ready to talk. Maybe he was
