ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS LATER

Priya sat in her office with a frown on her face. Her eyes were glued to the computer screen where another mail had been sent to her from the board of directors. They were having a meeting to push for her dismissal as CEO of JHoldings and appoint Charles.

This was their fourth attempt to push her away since Renee’s disappearance. Luckily for her, they had failed every time as she was continuously backed by an anonymous shareholder who kept using all of their large shares to make sure she remained CEO.

She guessed that it was Renee but, she wasn’t sure as he hadn’t heard from her in a year. All she got was monthly texts, informing her that she was still alive. No matter how much she called or texted, Renee never texted back.

It was as though she wanted to be deleted from the world.

Priya fiddled with her phone, biting her lips nervously. She was sending another text to Renee even though she knew it would be unanswered.

  • Dear Wife, I refuse to divorce you!   Chapter Twenty Eight

    Ethan sighed deeply, his jaw clenching tightly as he stepped back into the hospital room and closed the door behind him. His chest was still heaving from the heated conversation outside and as if things weren’t tense enough, Jessica remained in the hallway, as stubborn as ever.Having had enough, he walked directly to Anita and pulled her aside.“What the hell are you doing?” he whispered harshly, his voice low but thick with anger and frustration. “Are you really going to keep playing this game? Bringing Jessica around like this? You’re messing with people’s lives, Anita. This isn’t a joke anymore.”Anita crossed her arms and leaned against the wall casually, a smug smile playing on her lips. “You keep saying it’s a game, Ethan. But to me? It’s just reality. You slept with her, you got her pregnant, and now you’re mad that she wants to be a part of your life? Come on, Ethan. You should know better than that.”Ethan’s nostrils flared. “I don’t even know if she’s really pregnant! That

  • Dear Wife, I refuse to divorce you!   Chapter Twenty Seven

    The smell of fresh coffee and waffles filled the kitchen as the sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Renee sat across Bryan at the glossy marble island, stirring her tea absentmindedly. She hadn’t said much since she woke as her mind was still adjusting to the new environment and reality. The smell of fresh coffee and warm pastries drifted through the open-plan kitchen as sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Renee sat across from Bryan at the glossy marble breakfast island, stirring her tea absentmindedly. She hadn’t said much since waking up. Her mind was still adjusting to the new environment, the silence around her, and the man who, in a matter of days, had gone from stranger to partner-in-pretend. “I got an invitation last night,” Bryan said, breaking the silence as he slicked into his waffle. “An invitation?” Renee looked up. “A party. The host is an investor at my company. Can’t really remember what he wants to celebrate but, I did get

    Renee followed the security team after giving Bryan a call to be sure they were sent by him. After they were done packing her things from the hotel, they left the hotel. There was a black SUV waiting for her outside. The ride there was twenty minutes long with Renee’s heart beating drums as she realized how real it was. She was really moving in with Bryan! Soon, the car slowed down and she stepped out, her designer boots clicking against the smooth pavement as the security guards began unloading her luggage and walking into the building. Her eyes lifted to the building in front of her and her brows knitted in confusion. This wasn’t what she expected at all. Instead of a flashy mansion, she had expected a man as rich as Bryan Taylor to live in, a tall glass building stood before her. It looked almost like a penthouse except that he was the only occupant. “Is everything okay, Ma’am?” One of the men asked and she nodded slowly. “Yes.” She smiled and followed him into the house. N

    “I’ve missed you, Danny.” Chloe purred, her perfectly manicured fingers grazing his shirt. “What are you doing here? And how did you even get in?” Daniel asked but remained seated, his tone anything but harsh. As much as he hated to admit, some of him still wanted Chloe. Maybe it was the loneliness… “I’ve always had your passcode, Danny. You gave it to me, Remember?” She shrugged and walked to where he sat, and made herself comfortable beside him. “Well, you look a mess.” She sighed, pushing her hair backward as she took a good look at him. His hair was disheveled, and he was dressed in a pair of black sweatpants and a blue tank top on a weekday. He looked…unemployed. “What are you doing here, Chloe?” He repeated, ignoring her comment. Chloe sighed and leaned into the chair, scooting closer to him. “I’ve missed you.” She whispered. Daniel paused, internally conflicted. His body wanted her, but his mind told him she was in trouble. “No. We’re not together anymore.” He forced

  • Dear Wife, I refuse to divorce you!   Chapter Twenty Four

    Renee stared at Bryan; her eyes widened in both shock and disbelief. She blinked rapidly as if she hadn’t heard him correctly. Then, she burst into laughter, shaking her head in disbelief. “You’re good! I didn’t know you were funny.” She said, still laughing. “But this isn’t the time to be joking.” She finally looked up, and her laughter died slowly. He wasn’t smiling. His expression was still serious, almost as if he was wondering why she thought he was joking. “Wait.” She frowned. “You’re serious?” Bryan gave a slight nod. “Dead serious.” Renee gasped and stared at him for a while. “You really want us to be in a pretend relationship? Us?” Bryan nodded again. “We would be clipping his wings. He won’t be able to pursue you publicly if you’re in a relationship with me. It’s going to be even worse if we let the whole world find out about our relationship.” She bit her lower lip. The idea was fantastic, she had to admit. As ridiculous as it sounded, it made sense. The only pro

    Renee sat behind the wheel, her fingers tightening around the steering. She had wiped her tears and focused her attention on putting Daniel in his place. When Bryan asked her to come to his house and texted her the address, she didn’t hesitate. She didn’t even care that she probably looked a mess. She was now driven with fury and the ache of betrayal. Fifteen minutes later, she pulled up at the gate of a quiet apartment in the heart of the city. As soon as she got down from her car, she was spotted by security, who walked down to her. “This way, Miss Jackson.” The blonde-haired man said, and Renee figured Bryan must have informed them of her arrival. She walked through the reception area, which was meant to be a waiting area, and entered the elevator. Something told her he lived on the last floor, and when the security punched the numbers, she knew she was right. As expected, he lived in a penthouse, and from the exterior, she could already tell it cost close to a million dollar
