All Chapters of Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I entered the passenger seat, barely acknowledging Uncle Pete holding the car door for me. I was drained in every way possible. My head hurt, I felt like I was hit by a truck transporting tons of brick. And I would not stop crying.Uncle Pete climbed in beside me. It was late already. I had no idea how long I'd stayed on the floor in that garden crying my eyes out. But when I'd realized my phone was ringing, I had seen it was late. Uncle Pete had been the one calling because he'd been worried about me. "He doesn't want me." I divulged amidst pains gnawing through my broken heart. "You'll be fine, Hailey. Let's just get you home and cleaned up." He patted my shoulder and then started the car."Where's home now?" I asked, sniffling as more tears fell."It's wherever you want it to be." Came his wide reply.He passed me a comforting smile and drove me back to the Johnson's mansion. Like one who had seen a ghost, I got down from the vehicle and trudged into the house."I don't have t

I was stunned when I realized the state of my wedding dress. "Why would you pour ink on this dress?"My tone came out squeaky and a bit scared. I hated it but there was nothing I could do to stop it. "W-what are you trying to do?" I moved back when she would not reply and still approached me with a pair of scissors.My back hit the clean yet cold tiled wall of the bathroom and kept my gaze on her. "You think you can have my spotlight?!" She spat angrily."I-I...drop the weapon, Mia." I pleaded, I was trying to run out of the bathroom stall before she could get ahold of me."You think you can spring out of nowhere and marry Jared, you fool?!" She was rushed at me and pressed the weapon to my throat, also pinning me hard to the wall.I whimpered as fear overwhelmed me. "P-p-p-please, Mia. Don't d-do this." I begged."Any more pressure to your neck and your blood will spurt everywhere." Her tone was cold and menacing.She sounded like a psychopath who would only be too glad to cut my t

"Eww!" Mia was yucked out.I could not stop throwing up, my eyes were hot and I felt like I was floating on clouds of ice — I was cold and a bit lightheaded Uncle Pete wrapped the blanket around me. "There is the toilet bowl. You could have just gone in there." Jared was as disgusted as his fiancee.Jared walked over to the wash basin and began cleaning himself."What should we expect from a low class?" Martha said from her distance.Uncle Pete was the only one who didn't complain.I moaned in discomfort. My stomach churned more, I felt like going for a second round and I was yet to have breakfast or even lunch.I had no idea what the time was specifically but if I could guess, it was lunch or close to. Martha had refused me eating anything this morning despite being a pregnant woman who needed food for her fetus.According to her, I didn't need to have a bloated stomach and look unattractive on her son's day. That had been laughable because I had a natural flat stomach. It didn't

JARED"This is the third time you're taking her to an event. What the hell is happening?!" My girlfriend was in my face and really angry.I pulled her close, lifted a hand to gently caress her face. "I know it's not easy seeing me go out with her but I have no choice, babe. She's the wife they know.""I am supposed to be your wife! I am supposed to be by your side going to every event with you, Jared!" She retorted.I heaved a sigh. It's been two weeks since my marriage with that girl. It only got harder by the passing moment.My relationship was crumbling and it was all because of her. I didn't want to lose Mia, not for anything and certainly not for a girl I knew next to nothing about and wasn't interested in knowing."I know baby and I'm sorry but my hands are tied. These events, plus ones are required and since the world knows I'm married and who I married, I have to go with her." I tried to make her see reasons.She moved away from my hold, folding her arms, an angry pout contort

"The audacity you have." The voice boomed angrily.I almost jolted in fear but held myself. I had been feeling sick for three days now, alongside a strong waist pain.I had to beg Jared till I was almost blue in the face before he decided to drive me to the hospital. I was told to be careful with my pregnancy.Stress was a huge factor contributing to the pains I was experiencing. Who wouldn't be stressed in such an environment?When I had Martha who hated me. Mia who was determined to make sure I never smiled. Even Jared would rather swallow his tongue than support me. Uncle Pete was busy these days and rarely had time to come around but he did call to check up on me. It's just that I didn't want to disturb him much.He had his own life to lead and he needed to do that without having to always come to my aid. He had done enough for me as it stood.Mia walked further into the kitchen and flipped my plate of breakfast. Martha had instructed the maids not to help me with anything so I w
