As I pushed open the glass door of the bathroom, the warm scent of roses enveloped me.

“What…is…this…?” I asked aloud, utterly shocked. The bathtub was filled with warm water, and rose petals floating gracefully on its surface.

The soured party was more than compensated for. My feelings were through the roof. I had no idea Aldwin could pay such close attention. Grinning like a fish in fresh water, I tied my hair into an updo, and slid gently into the bathtub.

I was loving every single bit

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 125

    "What? How did you come up with that?" Lisa seemed shocked. She was clearly not expecting to hear that."Of course, without Aldwin's knowledge, and that's why I won't be doing this myself." I let the words hang, hoping she would catch on."You want me to do this instead?""Yes," I said without skipping a beat."I already have their hair samples. All I need is for you to take them to a different hospital and run the test.""You're serious about this, aren't you?" The disbelief was evident in her voice."I labeled them using random names, so no one would guess who they actually are," I explained further, ignoring her question."Kora," Lisa said slowly, the way she always did when she wanted to talk some sense into me."Lisa, please."She exhaled loudly into the phone. "You realize what you're asking me to do? If Aldwin finds out…""He won't," I cut in. "That's the whole point of sending you. He doesn't monitor your movements."She sighed, heavily burdened by the task I was assigning her

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 124: A DNA Test for the Boys

    Aldwin had eyes and ears even in unimaginable places. I didn't want to risk him knowing what I was about to do. But how else could I make such a move without him finding out?I’d already thought about not using their delivery hospital, which was the only hospital we went to, and which already had Zane and Zion's information. I collected samples of their hair from the comb I had used this morning and was pacing the room, not sure how to go about this without raising suspicions. A brilliant idea came to mind – Lisa.It took one ring before she answered the phone.“To what do I owe this morning call?” Lisa groaned, almost mumbling. It seemed like something was blocking her words from coming out freely, cutting off some of her words.It took me a second to realise what it was.“Are you making out?” I asked, furrowing my brows.Lisa was taking time to reply, then I heard lips smacking, kissing sounds.“Wait. Is that what I'm thinking it is?” I asked, almost irritated, but it was another m

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 123: His Sweet Side

    Then the front door opened, and all my worries scattered — temporarily.One of their best moments was when Aldwin came back home from work.“Where are my little men,” he said, using the name he fondly called them – little men. “Dad!” They shrieked loudly, running towards him. He scooped up Zion, tossing him into the air once. When they were younger, he would toss them several times, but they were five years old now. He kissed him on the cheek before setting him down and reaching for Zane. Zane was the shy one; he didn't shriek like Zion did as Aldwin tossed him in the air. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Aldwin's neck and rested his head on his shoulders – content and quiet. Aldwin held him for a moment longer than he had held Zion. They always looked forward to this moment. They would chase each other around, playing and laughing. I watched them and the knot in my chest tightened. Aldwin loved both of his sons. I had never doubted that – not even once. He was present in wa

  • Despised By My Billionaire Husband    CHAPTER 122: They Are Not Identical

    Aldwin kept true to his words – he changed. It had been five years since the birth of Zane and Zion, and the thought of leaving never crossed my mind again. It was different now and I felt at peace. Aldwin made me feel loved. The care and attention I had hungered for from him became present, even though it kept tugging at the back of my mind that if not for the existence of the twins, things would have remained as they were. I pushed aside the loud voice that kept telling me that Aldwin only seemed loving because of the boys and not because of me – that I wasn't enough to make him mine. It was difficult fighting those thoughts and not succumbing to the ideas that built up each time they rang in my head. Zane and Zion gave me a reason, a definition, and that was enough. An obvious dissimilarity could be seen in the twins, but Aldwin was too blinded by his love for them to notice – or maybe he didn't want to talk about it. Not all twins were identical, but Zion and Zane were complete

    Aldwin's face lit up in a bright smile. “I like it,” he said sharply.“Zane and Zion,” Mrs Ellison repeated. “Those are beautiful names, I like it too,” she said, patting my arm.I felt pleased they liked the names. I had thought Aldwin would turn it down, but they accepted the names without a second thought. I had given the Ellisons what they wanted, and now I had to figure out what I wanted for myself. I felt welcomed and accepted for once, ever since I got into this deceitful marriage. I finally got to feel a sense of belonging. It wasn't so difficult to do, but there existed an invisible wall between the haves and the have-nots, and it determined how you were treated, and the amount of relevance that should be accorded to you – the exact way I was pictured when Aldwin announced me as his wife – a wife he unwillingly chose out of a silly bet. My phone beeped: ‘Hey, I said to give you some space with Aldwin and his mom around. Besides, it's late already, I think I should head ho

    “Mom, Mom, can you tone it down? They're asleep. You're going to wake them up,” Aldwin said, and stood to collect the bag she was carrying.Her eyes widened as she placed a hand over her mouth in a hush.She had been waiting for this moment for years – probably longer than I had known Aldwin. The Ellison empire needed an heir, and now she had two of them. Her fears of the family name dying out, of all that wealth and power having nowhere to go, had been solved in one afternoon.She pulled me into a careful hug, mindful of my sore body, and when she pulled back, her eyes were wet.“Thank you,” she said, and the words sounded genuine in a way I hadn't expected.I nodded with a weak smile. This was the same woman who had accused me of going through Aldwin's safe, who had threatened me over the phone, who had looked at me like I was everything people gossiped me to be – a gold digger who had trapped her son into marriage. But right now, she looked like a grandmother who had finally gott

    “It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Aldwin Ellison, and congratulations,” one of the men beside Aldwin said with a genuine smile. “This is Mr. Pearson, the CEO of Pearson group,” Aldwin said, still holding my waist. “Thank you, Mr. Pearson,” I said with a smile. Aldwin went ahead to introduce me to

    "I should have listened to Aldwin and gone straight to the house.” I blabbered, finally finding my phone from beneath the tangled sheets. Ray had left me countless missed calls and messages. “We should get going already, Mr Aldwin will be there soon,” Ray said, pushing the bedroom door ajar. “

    “Don't bother waiting, I'll let you know when you can come pick me up,” I said to Ray as he dropped me off at my apartment “Don't take too long. You should get ready before the guests begin to arrive,” Ray replied. I wasn't up for any more talks. I gave a nod and left. Ray stood for a while,

    We arrived at the Marriage Bureau moments later; our drive there had been a silent one. Aldwin held my hand as we walked up the row of steps. We were just in time. Tommy joined us as a witness,“I can't believe my eyes, no way!” Tommy said aloud, his tone laced with disbelief as he saw me walking u
