Adele~

Okay, we're done living in the hospital. I needed to return to the resort and start making my plans.

After the chat with Shadow Pack, I didn’t want to waste another second of my life stuck in here.

Ethan was still drifting in and out of consciousness, but he was in the state where he could be flown out of the city, so I started making preparations.

I got hold of a reputable law firm, an appraisal, and a property inspector online, with reputable track records and clean portfolios.

The firm promised me confidentiality, but I knew how easily information slipped through cracks in the capital. So, I emphasized that everything be handled in cash transfers, coded contracts, and closed-door meetings. If Julia and Ryan ever tried to look for where I hid Ethan, I wanted their investigation to lead nowhere.

The inspector scheduled a first sweep of the estate within seventy-two hours, while the lawyers promised to dissect the $350 million asking price with the owner’s representatives.

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

    Adele~ “And you are?” I raised an eyebrow. I didn't know who she was. I haven't seen her in visual meetings in all of my stay at the hospital. Although I learned we hired more hands. Mark cleared his throat. “Adele, this is Miranda Hale. International growth strategist. She’s worked with properties across different countries.” I tried not to look shocked, but I wasn't sure how my face was holding up. An international strategist? What was she doing at my start-up resort? I glanced over other new faces too. Now, some faces began to make sense — the graduate from Stormfield, with the last name, Harrington. Anderson, the man who designed events for foreign diplomats. Rivers, the woman with seven years of experience working with luxury resort chains. Funny enough, we didn’t pay them more than we could afford simply because they had experience that could put us on the map faster than any marketing campaign. And now, here they were, sitting in my boardroom, waiting for my approval as

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Woman In Gray

    Sarah pushed the door to the meeting room open and my eyes rounded at the number of people who turned their heads in my direction. Old faces, new faces, and of course, Manager Mark’s surprised face. “Tada!” Sarah made a dramatic gesture with her hands, like she was presenting me as the grand prize of a raffle no one signed up for. The whole room went silent for a beat before Manager Mark pushed back his chair, eyebrows climbing up his forehead. “Adele?” he said, like my name was a question on a quiz show. “Hi,” I murmured, fighting the urge to step behind Sarah and disappear. “Surprise, surprise,” she sang, nudging me further inside until I had no choice but to walk in. “Our dearest CEO has arrived. You’re welcome.” I shot her a glare that promised future revenge in the form of withholding croissants. She should have told me we were heading into a crowd filled with hungry sharp eyes. I thought she was bringing me to Emily and Mark. Technically, she brought me to them,

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Return To The Resort

    Adele~ “Oh my, Adele! Look at you!” Sarah cried, veering off the corridor like a puppy chasing a thrown ball. My smile stretched so wide it almost turned into a grimace. “Long time, no see, Sarah.” “Oh please, I came to see you at the hospital three nights ago.” She squinted at me, and then started babbling nonstop. “We missed you. How are you? How’s Ethan? I saw the posts. My goodness, what a mess. And Mia, oh, I can’t believe she picked you as chief bridesmaid. That’s… surprising, considering you aren't even close.” Surprising was diplomatic. Infuriating might be closer to the truth. “Ethan’s stable. Thanks for asking. As for Mia, well, people like her make bold choices. It’s great for her, honestly.” “People are saying you asked to be chief bridesmaid because…” Sarah lowered her voice to a scandalized whisper, “You're desperate to be a part of her circle.” She raised an alarm, her hands flying in the air. I was startled. “Like, come on, how could anyone say such a thing ab

    Adele~ Even though they believed me, I'd still get the backlash for getting in between Mia and Detroit, knowing those two had been unofficially offered to each other since childhood. I bit my finger, fighting the urge to scream. Her voice somehow managed to cut through my spiraling mind again, a fake angelic smile plastered on her face. “...because Adele has been such an important part of our journey. The details will be…” I choked on air. Important part of what journey?! My jaw dropped. The audacity. The absolute villainy. This woman had rewritten history and made me the supporting actress in her fairytale. “I absolutely cannot have her as a co-wife. Not even a concubine or a mistress!” “Who are you not allowing as a mistress?” Detroit appeared, a black shopping bag in one hand, while his injured hand tucked inside his pocket. “Are you going to marry Mia, Detroit?!” I barked at him. Okay, he'd explained he wouldn't. I mean, it was obvious he wouldn't. I knew that all of t

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Seeking Trouble Where There's None

    Adele~ Okay, I was overthinking. There was no repercussion, just furrowed brows and nagging on how I'd gotten too ‘thin’ and ‘unhealthy’. And wanted me to eat more and relax my body and mind. He said I was dangling between large and medium in a week, all the way from XL, and that was crazy. Okay, to be honest, Ethan’s situation wasn't the only vacuum that sucked up my fat. The stress of meeting deadlines before the open week festival was the first catalyst, but I wasn't going to tell Detroit that. Considering how much fussing he was doing right now, he might just close down my resort or place someone else as a temporary CEO. “Fine, I admit I'm just a little stressed and tired, but I promise you, I’m fine. Look,” I twirled, jumped, and threw myself onto the bed, bouncing up like I was auditioning for a mattress commercial. “See? I didn't pass out. I'm perfectly healthy!” I declared, my hair flopping over my face in a way that definitely did not scream grace or elegance. Layi

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    A Morning For Drama

    Adele~After how Detroit treated me last night, I decided it was high time I took proper care of myself, otherwise, I might just end up suffering through another vibrator punishment instead of getting my husband’s dick. And that, in my humble opinion, was absolutely unfair.Besides, the child I wasted my fat and sleepless nights on, was just as he was before the accident — ungrateful and blind.Ethan might be feeling like he's five when actually he was seven, still, a month old baby could get on their mother's nerves, let alone a seven year old like Ethan.So, after waking up, I didn't rush off to check on him. I decided to listen to my husband and do other things…like real meaningful things, which meant I had to return to work.After getting dressed, I looked in the mirror and my brows furrowed. The dress I wore felt like it was passed down to me. Except it didn't look worn. No, far from it – it was sparkling new. And it was size before I lost weight. I knew I'd lost weight, but nev
