Adele~

She'd know I was pitying her, and that was the fastest way to make children like this shut down. No, if I was going to get through to her, it wouldn’t be with teary eyes and sad speeches.

I kept my smile in place, even though all I wanted to do was blame anything and anyone for destroying a child.

“Family is an important concept to me.” I paused, taking a deep breath. “I had none, so I tried to build the kind of family I would have loved to grow up in. Warm, happy, and safe. But unfortunately, things don't go as we plan.”

I smiled again just as Ethan was about to cloud my mind.

I didn't want to think about that child, even though I should be worried sick about him and what he'd be doing now that his father was likely hospitalized and would be admitted for maybe two weeks.

“What’s the menu?”

I snapped back from the thoughts I didn't want to have and smiled again, this time it was a forced smile.

“Oh, you’ll see,” I said, trying to sound mysterious rather than utterly unpre

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Invitation To World Fashion Gala

    Adele~In a blink of an eye, a month was gone, but it didn’t leave without drama. Amidst the cat-and-mouse play between Ryan and me, Julia and Roman put up quite a spectacle for the internet.Roman divorced Julia but wouldn’t let her take custody of Sophia. The court battle was messy, because Ryan denied being Sophia’s father when he was brought to court, accused Julia of mental instability, and Roman, of being a fraud and unworthy of being a father — he was even suggesting Sophia be sent to an orphanage.The tabloids had a field day. Trendle exploded as usual, and ‘innocent’ me was dragged into it. Not for bad reasons, of course, but to make sure I saw how my ex and his mistress were making fools of themselves.My friends and I didn’t care for gossip – ahem, absolutely not – but we watched with popcorn, like Zee World series, eagerly waiting for the next episode. I mean, update.And most of all, I was keeping an eye on Roman, on how he handled things. I wanted to know why he was so i

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Taking Sophia From Julia

    Roman~Adele…the name alone sent a chill down his spine. Who would have thought that the same quiet and peaceful Adele he once knew would be so ruthless to her enemies? She'd planned so meticulously to rid Ryan off his company and she succeeded – something he could never do. Roman glanced around the faces of the men sitting around the table with a smile on his face. He was here not because he had anything to discuss with the board members, but because Adele had told him to call a board meeting when he got the signal. She'd also made him tip off the auditors with fake reports, just to throw the company into a frenzy. Now that Adele had told him she'd succeeded, he was about to make excuses to end the meeting that hadn't even started when his phone rang.It was his home landline – scratch that, his former home. His brows creased. Was it Julia calling? On second thought, Julia wouldn't call him with a landline, so he answered the call. Before he could even speak, Sophia's voice sounde

    Ryan~ Adele wiped a tear, “It's nothing. Just read that and sign. He's taking back to the capital tomorrow morning…” she paused. “He doesn't know I'm seeing you. If he does…” Adele didn't finish it but Ryan already knew hell would break lose. Didn't the mad man almost killed him the other day? A man that violent, Ryan already knew he wouldn't treat any woman with tenderness for long before his violent behavior started to show. “Shouldn't you tell your Harrington family about it? I'm sure they could get you divorced if you don't –” “And what happens after? Come back to you immediately and give him a narrative to use against us? Aren't you tired from getting dragged every day on the internet? You're still trending for the wrong reasons, Ryan. Ethan is awake, what do you think he'd feel seeing this father's name everywhere?” His lips thinned. She was right. Adele and Detroit just got married less than five days ago. The man pretended in front of the world that he loved Adele, even

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Smart Ryan

    Ryan~He was at the company when Adele’s lawyers brought in the contract review.Three years to refund thirty billion wasn’t a big deal for the giants in the industry, but his Luxehaven wasn’t even worth a billion at its peak, let alone now that it was barely standing on one leg.Still, if he could get that thirty billion, he’d use it wisely. It wouldn’t be enough to make such a return in three years, but it was the best offer he’d ever get. There was no interest, no collateral, only a term that was meant to protect Adele’s heart.How could he refuse it?Julia’s matter was already settled in his mind. After the Fashion Gala, she would go abroad with their daughter, and he would take care of them quietly from a distance.That left only Adele and Ethan.He straightened his cuffs, looked at his reflection in the office window, and smiled faintly. If he played this right, if he charmed Adele enough, by the end of those three years, Adele would let go of the thirty billion herself.With th

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Plan In Motion

    Adele~Detroit folded the contract and handed it back to me like a man passing a loaded pistol. “Make another copy,” he said, calm as always. “But with slightly different terms.”I blinked. “What do you mean?”“You send him a contract review with soft terms – a three year contract instead of three months. As for when he breaches the contract, your thirty billion should be refunded.” He tapped the paper lightly. “However, when he comes to sign, he gets the real contract.”“Hm…and if he insists on reading again? Or if his legal team comes with him?”“They won't,” he paused. “He thinks you're into him, so he'd want every time with you to be private.” Detroit’s lips curved into that knowing half-smile. “Besides, his ego won’t let him think you’re capable of outsmarting him. He’ll come thinking he’s in control.”I exhaled, leaning back. “So basically, he’ll walk straight into a trap. Still, that doesn't answer the real question. What if he insisted on reading it? Ryan is very thorough when

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Greedy Detroit

    Adele~“So, how do I get him to sign these?” I asked. I'd just finished reading the contract I'd asked Attorney Vernon to draft. It seemed Detroit had added his own clause, one that instantly made my lips twitch.It stated that Ryan must not be seen within fifty miles of me, except for official purposes.Detroit sat leisurely on the bed, sleeves rolled up, flipping lazily through his phone as if he hadn’t just turned a legal document into a marital territorial map.I glanced at him. “Fifty miles, Detroit? Are you serious?”He looked up briefly. “Make it a hundred if you want peace of mind.”I scoffed a laugh. “I want him to sign, not make him suspicious.”“He doesn’t have to know it’s my clause.”I rolled my eyes, but my gaze dropped back to the paper, tracing the rest of the conditions I’d spent nights piecing together. Ryan couldn’t be seen around Julia or any other woman in the next three months while he still owed me. During those three months, he wasn’t allowed to disturb me or i
