Chapter 13

Author: Green Pick
It was Heather's voice, but she was the last person Chandler wanted to see right now.

"Get out!" he yelled.

Heather paused, clearly taken aback, but she pushed the door open nonetheless.

The moment she stepped inside, Chandler froze. "Why are you wearing Danielle's clothes?"

She had deliberately chosen to wear Chandler and Danielle's matching sleepwear, its silky fabric clinging to her curves and accentuating her graceful, alluring figure.

"What are you talking about? I wore this last time, too, didn't I?" Heather snapped back.

That was when he remembered that one night after she moved into the house, she'd stolen one of Danielle's nightgowns and said it made things more exciting. This might be the last item Danielle left behind in the house.

"Take it off," he ordered sternly.

Thinking Chandler was playing along, Heather put on a coy act. "Oh, that's so impatient of you. We have plenty of time to take it slow…"

But without another word, he shoved her onto the bed and roughly

  • A Lifetime Sealed by a False Oath   Chapter 23

    After everything was over, Antoine and I took Alfie to a psychologist. We were worried the ordeal might have left him traumatized, but fortunately, I'd protected him well. Having no idea what had happened, he tugged my sleeve and asked, "Mom, will we never get to see Dad again?"I nodded a little heavyheartedly. "That's right, but if you're okay with it, Mr. Atwood could be your new dad.""I'll choose Mr. Atwood. I like him more."I ruffled his hair as my lips curled up in a relieved smile.Antoine was furious after learning about the dangerous incident. After returning home, he gave the bodyguards he'd assigned to us a stern reprimand. It took all my soothing to calm him down and explain that I'd decided to buy a cake for Alfie and changed our route, which led to the encounter.The bodyguards barely kept their jobs, but Antoine wouldn't let me out of his sight afterward."I can't stop thinking about it, Danielle. The thought of almost losing you and Alfie…" His voice was low

    Despite a few unexpected interruptions, the wedding proceeded smoothly overall.At the reception afterward, guests came to me and Antoine one after another to offer their blessings."I never knew Mr. Atwood was so devoted! If only my man were like him…""Congratulatons! You've been through so much with that jerk, Mrs. Atwood. Thank goodness it's all in the past now."They said after all that we'd been through, we were surely bound to make it to the end, and I believed so, too.By the time the wedding ceremony was over, we were utterly exhausted, despite Antoine having arranged everything perfectly and mobilized considerable resources. We decided to postpone our scheduled honeymoon since the public uproar had yet to settle, and attention was still intense.Chandler's company, weakened by his neglect and extravagance, was on the verge of collapse. He'd sold off most of his assets in his desperate search to find me.As online criticism toward him intensified, Heather filed a police

    I never imagined I'd meet Chandler again under such circumstances. It was both absurd and laughable.Listening to his ridiculous claims fueled my anger as I walked confidently onto the stage under the gaze of everyone present."I am the woman in these pictures, as anyone with eyes can clearly see."Chandler stood frozen with disbelief written all over his face. "That's impossible! It can't be!"Weren't they saying Antoine was engaged ten years ago? You were married to me for ten years, so how could it be you?"I sharply cut him off. "Mind your language, Mr. Leighton. I was never married to you, and we never legally registered our relationship."You've lied to me and pretended to marry me while handing me a forged marriage certificate. It turns out another woman has been your legal wife all along. As for Antoine's fiancee…"I turned to Antoine, and we exchanged a smile as I continued, "That woman's always been me. He'd simply kept the engagement open and waited for me for ten who

    Antoine brought in a world-renowned designer to create the most suitable custom wedding gown just for me.Sure enough, his taste was impeccable, and the gown fit me better than anything I'd tried on in stores. Finally feeling more confident, I threw myself into preparing for the wedding with joyful anticipation.On the day of the wedding, Antoine rented an entire private island as our venue. He transformed it into a fairytale-like garden filled with tulips and lilies, complete with a yacht procession and a drone light show.He arrived earlier at the island's hotel venue to confirm the schedule with the host when a commotion broke out among the guests.It was Chandler, who'd stormed into the wedding venue and snatched the microphone from the stage. "What all of you don't know is that this man, Mr. Antoine Atwood, pretends to be devoted when he's actually a cheater!"The crowd erupted in murmurs."A cheater? That can't be… I heard Mr. Atwood waited more than ten years to finally wi

    Chandler's POVIn the office, Chandler stared at the picture in front of him before smashing several empty bottles against the wall in rage.The picture showed a man and a woman walking hand-in-hand, leading a young boy into a restaurant. "Have you identified who this man is?""Yes, Mr. Leighton. He's the son of the Atwoods."He froze. The Atwoods? Why would Danielle be associated with them? Was it for money?The Atwood family ran one of the most powerful, influential global corporations, the kind Chandler could never afford to cross, even if there were ten of him. Staring at the picture, he clenched his fist, while Gordon timely chimed in, "We've also uncovered something else. "It appears that Mr. Atwood was engaged ten years ago, and he recently married his fiancee. The wedding ceremony is scheduled for next week."A wild, almost frantic hope lit up in Chandler's eyes after hearing those words. "Are you saying that he's married, but he's still seeing another woman? I ne

    It was Antoine. His laughing voice came from just above me. "Will you tell me your answer now?"My back was pressed against his chest, and I could feel my hands trembling slightly as I held the letter. "You…" I tried to turn around, but he held me tighter. His chin rested on top of my head, and his breath brushed against my ear, carrying a faint hint of wine."I've waited so many years," he said as his tone softened almost pleadingly, like the whimper of a lonely puppy."Back then… I was such a fool."Not only had I given him the silent treatment over something so trivial, but I'd also locked this letter away without ever reading it. Even when the Atwoods proposed a marriage, my heart and mind were completely fixated on Chandler, and I'd made Antoine wait 12 long years."You weren't a fool; you just chose the wrong person," Antonie said gently, his voice as soft and crisp as rustling leaves in the evening breeze."Speaking of which, I have something for you." As he spoke, he
