Adele~

I'd be a pathological liar if I said that Mia’s visit didn't leave me miserable. Even though I wanted to convince myself that I walked away having the last words, her words remained hooked in my chest, squeezing my lungs until my breathing was ragged.

And the worst of what she said was, “Your stubbornness already put your son in the ground…”

True, had it not been for my stubbornness, Ethan would still be Julia's puppet. No, scratch it – she was his mother. I'd have still been in the dark. So, my stubbornness saved me. I think.

But this time, it was different. Detroit wasn't Ethan. And his world was obviously more dangerous than living in the orphanage.

So, should I leave him?

I shook my head, that was out of the question. I love that man. But love didn't save Elisa. If they could kill a pregnant woman carrying the future heir of the West family, then what chance did I stand?

The thought coiled cold in my gut, pressing so heavily against my chest that I had to grab the wall

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

    Another pause, then a soft click.“Hold the line, please.”Ryan’s eyes darted to the scattered documents again, his pulse pounding. She was daring him. And he never took that lightly. Then, finally, the line shifted, and a voice came through, calm, controlled, but sharp as a razor.“Mr. Thompson.”Ryan’s lips curled into a cruel, calculating smile. “Adele. I see you’ve sent me a… little surprise.”Adele’s voice was almost playful. “Oh, how surprised must you have been, Mr. Thompson?”Ryan laughed darkly, the kind of laugh that sends a chill down your spine. “You're cute, Adele, really. Very cute.” He scoffed. “So, you think you can play me like that? 100 billion? Huh?!” “Too little? Okay, I'll withdraw it and ask my lawyers to draft another. 200 billion. What do you think?” “Adele!!”Adele didn’t flinch. In fact, she sounded amused, which only made the vein in Ryan’s neck throb harder.“Yes, Mr. Thompson?” she answered sweetly. “You raised your voice like you wanted my attention. I

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Not Taking Adele Seriously

    His eyes ran through the document faster than his brains. His pulse skipped multiple beats. His knuckles turned white and sweaty from the tight grip on the papers.All his life of signing contracts, he'd never seen anything this cruel. Three months contract? What three months? If he recalled vividly, it was a three years contract he sighed! Three years! Ryan’s throat dried instantly. A sharp, hot rage climbed up his spine, but even that anger felt shaky. He slammed the papers onto the desk and barked a laugh that didn’t sound human.His assistant flinched. “This is a joke,” he muttered. “Adele must be playing some childish fucking prank!!”He nodded to himself, convincing himself because the alternative made his skin crawl.Yes. A prank. Adele wanted his attention, wanted him to call her, wanted him to chase after her the way he used to. Why else would she pull such a ridiculous stunt? Why else would she send him something so dramatic, so over the top?A hundred billion? Has she

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    His Vision Blurred

    Four days later…Ryan has been looking for Julia for four days, yet he still hasn't found her.There are no CCTV cameras inside his house, but the ones outside gave him just enough to keep him awake at night. The footage showed Julia being carried out by two men in black. After that, nothing. The men had no faces. They were wearing facecaps and masks.Then, he checked every hospital in the city – major, minor, private, public… even clinics, still nothing. Her name never appeared on any emergency intake list.Alive or not, he had no idea.That was when he realized how big of a mess he was in.Julia slipping out of his fingers after what he'd done to her was a terrible mistake. Now, she was a ticking time bomb.If she was alive, then, her return would be destructive to him. He knew it. He could feel it in his spine each morning when he woke up.This matter had become a huge thorn in his side, one he could not ignore, one that refused to stop pulsing in his throat.And then, there was Ad

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

    Adele~I’ve stationed people around Ryan’s house for when Julia showed up. I wanted solid evidence to prove that Ryan broke the contract agreement, but for three months, he was extremely careful to not see Julia in his house.However, I knew that with the backlash and assault, Julia would likely run to him for help, so I asked some men to trail her and step in when her life was threatened.I didn’t want Julia dead, I wanted her alive to testify against Ryan if we ever went to court.But nothing prepared me for the video she sent.As you already know, I didn’t go online very often, let alone open my messages. However, after sex with my husband, I was worn out but couldn’t fall asleep, not when my mind was filled with dread and the possibility of him dying.For some weird reason I couldn’t name, I took my phone and logged on Trendle. I wasn’t searching for anything in particular, but when I saw the number of unread messages on my inbox that Lucy hadn’t cleared yet, I decided to open the

    Ryan didn’t say a word as the person continued to ask questions. His gaze as they shorted towards Julia were so cold she felt her blood freezing. And then, he clicked the end button, raised the phone, and the next minute, smashed it against the far wall. CRASH!The phone exploded into pieces of glass, metal, battery fragments scattering across the marble like spilled bones.Julia flinched, her entire body trembling, breath coming in wet, broken gasps.Blood dripped down her shoulder, down her fingers, pooling beneath her. Every part of her body was wet with her blood. Ryan crouched before her. He lifted the knife and pressed the sharp edge right beneath her chin, forcing her head up.Julia froze.She didn’t breathe.One wrong twitch and the blade would slice straight into the flesh on her chin. Even without moving, the edge bit into her skin, drawing a thin thread of blood. “Did you try to get help, Julia?” Ryan murmured, staring into her half-lidded eyes. “You can never escape fr

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Ryan's True Nature

    Julia~He was going to actually kill her.The cold, unhurried look in his eyes said it all. Ryan wasn’t threatening her. He was hunting her.Julia’s heart jackhammered in her chest as she clutched her bleeding side, staggering backward. She didn’t even think, she spun and ran, naked and barefooted. Droplets of blood seeping through her fingers, staining the marble floor. However, just before a few steps forward, the deadly hiss of a silent pistol came again. Pfft!Pain exploded in her right shoulder, so sharp her knees almost buckled. She screamed, stumbling forward, her bleeding fingers scraping the surface of the couch, landing on her purse.“Keep running, Julia,” Ryan’s voice was calm, almost teasing. “It’s cute when you think you can actually get away.”Gripping her purse tight as if to anchor her, she continued forward, her breath came in short, ragged bursts. The world tilted, her vision swaying, but she refused to stop. She had to reach the door. She had to live.“Please—Ryan
