Widowed By Betrayal
Lisa Knox
The day I caught my husband and my sister having sex on the bed while my son had drowned in the pool was the day I made my decision and stood by it. Nothing was going to make me stay in this five years marriage. So, I took the divorce papers, signed it and left everything behind. Including the wealth and company I Inherited from my late dad. I had handed everything in my life over to him when I was blinded by love. Now, I vowed as I stepped out to get back everything until my sister and my ex husband are reduced to nothing.

The day before my wedding, I had caught my first love and wife-to-be getting fucked by my PA in the study room. I had said nothing and simply went out to drink, completely hopeless for love. There I met her, a beautiful young lady whom I could use for the night. The sex had been good but that was about it. I cancelled the wedding when I got a call to come back home and take up the responsibility of a father, to adopt my niece because my twin brother had just been murdered. Five years later, everything is in chaos and I need a woman who is experienced in raising children who will stay. So when I met that lady from the one night stand again, I made up my mind to have her for myself. She would be my wife and would raise my daughter, no matter what.

Chapter: Chapter 4Lisa KnoxWhat insolence! When my eyes met his, it took everything in me to not go crazy right there and then. The man who ruined my life—contributed to ruining my life, was standing there. He had the audacity to still look fucking attractive, so much my body reacted to his touch and I had to hold myself with a leash before jumping on his dick again. He had the audacity to also tell me he was going to his daughter's school. So he married the woman after all and now has a child. And he wanted me to still be in touch. "I can't believe we meet again." He said as we drove towards the hospital. I had the opportunity to stare at him. The nicely shaved beards gave him that manly and rugged look that added to his allure. "What happened in the past happened in the past. Let it go, Andrew.""You know my name?" He asked, a brow raised. "I don't even know yours."Now, that stung. I wouldn't know his name either if his stupid ass head hadn't spilled his seed inside me and impregnated me. "Le

Chapter: Chapter 3Andrew Mccarthy When life gives you lemons, they said to make a lemonade out of it. How about slamming it back at them and giving them the middle finger? Why did it never work that way?I made that resolution many times ago when my father stated that I wasn't fit to be his son anymore for an accident. The orange sun was slowly dipping in its horizon while I sat in my office, cigarette in between my fingers, a bottle of whiskey in the other hand. I didn't want to go home to yet another complain from the nanny. She had been patient enough among all the others I had hired for Cara. Possibly because she was older. A bit on the fifties and strict. She was also Filipino so her skill in making sure Cara followed the rules was exceptional. I didn't want to lose her.But recently, the complaints were getting more frequent. She was starting to sound like the previous nannies. "She drew on the wall last night even though I strongly warned her against doing that.""She won't eat her vegetable

Chapter: Chapter 2Lisa KnoxI had been searching for him, hoping to find him before my father found out I was pregnant. I tried to terminate the pregnancy but the doctor had said it would affect my chances of conceiving ever again if I went with it. And I always had dreams of becoming a mother. I couldn't lose that dream just because of a mistake of one night. So I decided to keep it. I had told Rina all that happened and thankfully, she said she still had contacts with the other guy, whom she had slept with that same night. They were friends. Before I went back to my dormitory, I got a text from Rina. It was a link to the stranger's page. Andrew Mccarthy was the username. As I scrolled through his page, it was hard not to peek at his pictures. I spent hours, staring at every image as if I needed to memorise every contour of his face. He was perfect in every way. Sandy blonde hair, light blue eyes, chiseled nose and jaw, perfect height and a physique to die for. I had fucked him once and I still co

Chapter: Chapter 1Lisa KnoxMy hands trembled as I looked at the file in my hand. A divorce? How could he? I quickly held on to the nearest furniture to steady myself. My head was swimming, my vision blurring as I tried to make out the words. I had just had a miscarriage, the blood still dripping down my legs when my husband and love of my life slammed down the envelope and strode out of the house. "This is unfair," I cried, feeling the tears rolling down my cheeks. "Maybe it's because I can't give him a proper child." Angelina, my only sister, who had been sitting at the corner of the bed, arms folded came closer. She pulled me into an embrace as she spoke."It's never your fault. Don't ever blame yourself. Besides, you already have a son for him. Why are you beating yourself up?"I held my trembling lower lip between my teeth as I spoke out. "Sean doesn't like him.""Because he has a disability?" I nodded. "It's not your fault he has cerebral palsy, sister. Don't let that douchebag make you feel

Chapter: Chapter 116Jason was receiving an award for his book that he'd published and Jimmy was in the city, so he did the best thing he could before running off to Florence. It has been a long time since he'd been around but the event that had unfolded recently had taught him to spend more time with family. Encaenia took place in the Sheldonian - a long and rambling ceremony conducted in Latin for six distinguished persons though, in Lola's mind, this was a celebration mainly for Jason. At last, he was receiving the recognition he deserved. After the ceremony, she stood and watched him with pride as he mingled with guests. She had met Jason briefly before the ceremony and they had hugged, but hardly spoken; too many people and not enough time. She thought at first that it was perhaps the way it should be, with no time for sentimentalism, but no, she decided that it was not the way it should be. They needed more time. "Do you know all these people?" Malik whispered."No." Lola shook her head, even tho

Chapter: Chapter 115Night had fallen over Shekina. Jimmy stood alone on the porch of the fieldstone house enjoying the sounds of laughter and reunion drifting through the screened door behind him. The mug of coffee in his hand had granted him hazy reprieve from his mounting exhaustion, and yet he sensed the reprieve would be fleeting. The fatigue in his body went to the core. "You slipped out quietly," a voice behind said.He turned. McEwan's grandmother emerged, her silver hair shimmering in the night. Jimmy gave a tired smile. "I thought I'd give your family some time together." Through the window, he could see McEwan talking with her brother. Sophie's grandmother came beside him. "Mr. Jim, when I first heard of Esquibel's murder, I was terrified for McEwan's sake. Seeing her standing in my doorway tonight was the greatest relief of my life. I cannot thank you enough."Jimmy had no idea how to respond. Although he had offered to give McEwan and her grandmother time to talk in private, she had asked

Chapter: Chapter 114"Davis?" McEwan was standing outside the car, looking back at him. "Are you coming?" She was holding the rosewood box, which captain Romano had returned to them. Inside, both cryptex had been reassembled and nested as they had been found. The verse was locked safely at its core - minus the shattered vessel of vinegar.Making their way up the long gravel path, Jimmy and McEwan passed the famous west Wall of the chapel. Casual visitors assumed this oddly protruding wall was a section of the chapel that had not been finished. The truth, Jimmy recalled, was far more intriguing. Shekina chapel's entrance was more modest than Jimmy expected. The small wooden door had two iron hinges. The chapel would be closing soon, and as Jimmy pulled open the door, a warm puff of air escaped, as if the ancient edifice were having a weary sigh at the end of a long day. Entering with McEwan, Jimmy felt his eyes reaching across the famous sanctuary and taking it all in. Although he had read accounts of She

Chapter: Chapter 113The mist had settled low as Amorth limped into a quiet hollow out of sight. Kneeling on the wet grass, he could feel a warm stream of blood flowing from the bullet wound below his ribs. Still, he managed.The fog made it look like heaven here.Raising his bloody hands, he prayed, but most importantly he prayed for his mentor… Myositis… that he would not fade with the sands of time. The fog was swirling around him now, and Amorth felt so light that he was sure the wisps would carry him away. Closing his eyes, he said a final prayer.His pains at last began to fade, and he knew Myositis was right. It was late afternoon when the London sun broke through and the city began to dry. Andrie Romano felt weary as he emerged from the interrogation room and hailed a cab. Sir Albert Rodriguez had noisily proclaimed his innocence, and yet from his loose ranting about the Archstone, secret documents, and mysterious brotherhood, Roman suspected the sly historian was setting the stage for his lawye

Chapter: Chapter 112Myositis's body had endured many kinds of pain, and yet the searing heat of the bullet wound in his chest felt profoundly foreign to him. Deep and grave. Not a wound of the flesh… but closer to the soul. He opened his eyes, trying to see, but the rain on his face buried his vision. He could feel powerful arms holding him, carrying his limp body like a rag doll, his black cassock flapping. Lifting a weary arm, he mopped his eyes and saw the man holding him was Amorth. He was struggling down a sidewalk, shouting for a hospital, his voice a heart-rending wail of agony. His red eyes were focused dead ahead, tears streaming down his face. "My son," Myositis whispered, "you're hurt." Amorth glanced down, his visage contorted in anguish. "I am sorry sorry, Father." He seemed almost too pained to speak. "No," Myositis replied. "It is I who am sorry. This is my fault. I was too eager. Too fearful. You and I were deceived." Myositis was unconscious when the doors of St Luke's hospital hiss

Chapter: Chapter 111Jimmy and McEwan moved slowly down the north aisle, keeping the shadows behind the ample pillars that separated it from the open nave. Despite having traveled more than halfway down the nave, they still had no clear view of the tomb. The sarcophagus was recessed in a niche, obscured from this oblique angle."At least there's nobody over there," McEwan whispered.Jimmy nodded, relieved. The entire section of the nave near Klaus' tomb was deserted. "I'll go over," he whispered. "You should stay hidden just in case someone-"McEwan had already stepped from the shadows and was headed across the open floor."-is watching," Jimmy sighed, hurrying to join her.Crossing the massive nave on a diagonal, Jimmy and McEwan remained silent as the elaborate sepulcher revealed itself in Tantalus increments… a black-marble sarcophagus… a reclining statue of Klaus… two winged boys… a huge pyramid… and… an enormous orb."Did you know about that?" McEwan said, sounding startled.Jimmy shook his head, als
