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    Little Reckless Woman

    Adele~ Wherever we walked through, whoever we walked by turned to give us more than a second look. Some audibly gasped, others purred, and many couldn't even keep their admiration hidden. “They're so beautiful,” I overheard one woman whisper to her friend as we passed the spice stall. “Look at that child, she's so cute I want to snatch her. Aww.” “The mother is beautiful as well. She reminds me of Adele Ford. Her husband clearly treats her right. Look at how glowing her skin is.” “Oh my God, that's true! Sue does resemble Adele Ford a lot!” I pretended not to have heard them as we continued shopping. Silver gave me a knowing look and smiled, her meaning was clear: ‘leave them confused and guessing.’ “Wow, the husband looks like a greek god in a magazine cover,” another murmured, eyes following Detroit like he was a runway model disguised as a produce shopper. Detroit didn’t react, of course, just kept that perfectly composed, mildly irritated expression, the kind that probabl

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Holding Hands For Freebies

    Adele~ “Really,” I nodded. “She was so proud she personally introduced me to her friend, an art professor in the university, so I could start learning more techniques ahead of time. She told me my future would be bright as long as I didn’t slack off.” I sighed, the nostalgia mixing with something bittersweet. “And for a long time, I believed her. I worked like crazy, practicing every day, dreaming about launching my own fashion brand. I thought nothing could stop me.” Silver was watching me now with that quiet, attentive gaze kids have when they’re storing something away for later – like maybe she understood this wasn’t just a story about art, but about not letting life pull you away from the things you love. I leaned toward her with a little grin. “So you see, genius astrophysicist or not, you should never ignore what makes you genuinely happy. You never know when someone will see your work and want to hang it up for the world to admire.” “So, my dearest Little Silver,” I said w

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Trip To The Market

    Adele ~ The drive to the market was exceptionally quiet and awkward. I mean, I had imagined the relationship between father and daughter might be… strained. But what I experienced in this ride was something else entirely. It wasn’t strained. It was frozen. Silver sat in the backseat, her little face turned toward the window, expression unreadable, as if she’d decided the passing streets were more interesting than the man sitting in the driver's seat. Detroit didn’t even glance at the rearview mirror once. If he wasn't answering me grumpily, he was staring straight at the road with a deep scowl on his face, jaw tight, like he was counting down the seconds until this was over. I shifted in my seat, suddenly very aware of how loud the car seemed without conversation. This was the kind of silence that wasn’t born from shyness — it was heavy, deliberate, like two people had learned long ago that talking didn’t get them anywhere. I tried to break it. “So… uh… what grade is your daughte

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Price To Pay

    Julia~ Sixteen years old Adele had just left the orphanage and showed up at Greenfield Academy. Julia was shocked to see Adele had left the orphanage and planned her revenge, which was to bully Adele and make her understand that this school was her territory. While the naive Adele, who was panicking as she tried to walk past so many pairs of mocking and condescending eyes, kept her head down and clutched the strap of her worn backpack like it was a lifeline. Whispers floated around her like invisible darts. "Is she the scholar from the orphanage? Does she think this school is for beggars? My parents pay hundreds of thousands for my tuition, yet someone gets to attend for free? The nerve of those people!" someone barked from the crowd. "Look at that uniform, it’s practically grey from age. My nanny’s daughter won't wear that. Eww." "Poor little orphan probably doesn’t even own a hairbrush. We should be magnanimous, she'd serve us well in the future. An errand girl for me, and

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Assassination Attempt

    Ryan~He was barely conscious on the hospital bed, machines beeping steadily around him, tubes snaking from his arms like pale, artificial veins. His head was swathed in thick bandages, broken nose held up with splints, and his swollen face was mottled with bruises in every shade from sickly yellow to deep, angry purple. His lips were cracked, a faint trail of dried blood crusted at the corner of his mouth. Each breath came shallow and ragged, his chest rising with the effort as though even oxygen had to be fought for. His right arm was suspended in a sling, while his left hand twitched weakly. But none of that was enough to make Julia give him a chance to breathe clean air. From the moment she arrived at the VIP ward, toxicity followed.“My life is a mess right now, Ryan! What am I supposed to do with you lying here hopelessly?!”Julia raised her voice, filled with anger and hurt as if that would make Ryan's condition better. She stepped closer to the bed, her heels clacking aga

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

    Detroit beat the ‘unrecognized’ man into a near death state. It wasn't even clear if the victim would survive the onslaught. Vernon’s expression didn’t change, but the air in the office shifted. Thinking he had the upper hand now, the manager finally managed a smile. “That was recorded this afternoon. The gentleman in the video was a regular here. If this gets out… well, I’m sure the press would have a field day with it. Mr. West’s enemies might even pay for the rights to broadcast it on loop.”Silence reigned in the office for what seemed like an eternity before, suddenly, a boisterous laughter bounced off the walls of the office, leaving the manager freezing in his seat. Vernon almost couldn't contain his laughter. “So this is your counteroffer? A Blackmail?” “I’m saying,” the manager replied, voice trembling just slightly beneath the fading bravado, “we can both walk away from this. You drop the lawsuit, I delete this footage. Otherwise… it finds its way to the internet.”One o
