Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 41: I'm back now
Summer’s Point of ViewI was stunned as the little lights above us illuminated his sharp features and the coldness in his eyes. The night and Steven seemed aligned so well. He was like an Alpha of Night that many women would crave to have.Undoubtedly, his argument regarding the meaning of “help” was persuasive. It was a word that shouldn’t be thrown around casually. I firmly believe that when someone offered assistance, they expect you would be forever indebted to them. Consequently, if they were to cause you harm later on, you would not only feel guilt but also the burden of the favour you owe them.So if I had to choose between asking for help or suffering, I would always choose the latter. On the other hand, it was surprising he knew this behaviour of mine. Given that he often acted as though he was not my husband and I was not his wife.After a moment of contemplation, I let out a deep sigh and nodded in agreement. I looked into his eyes, trying to convey my disappointment with t
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 42: He is my husband
Summer’s Point of ViewI was torn between whether or not to tell him. On the other hand, I didn’t want to break his trust and give him the impression that I couldn’t rely on him after all the help he had given me. I absentmindedly played with the book resting on my lap, biting the bottom of my lip in thought. Despite not meeting his eyes, I could sense his stare fixed upon me.Experiencing the familiarity of people who know you so well is an unparalleled feeling. You cannot escape their sympathy when you try to endure the brunt of life’s bullets alone. However, they stand by you, catching the shots, and sharing your grief. During the short time that I spent with Harvey, I experienced these emotions very strongly, something that Steven did not make me feel. It was clear he knew what it was like to weather a storm.After a moment of contemplation, I lifted my head and spoke honestly. “Steven and I made an agreement. If you happen to know Celine - she’s my secretary,” I paused briefly,
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 43: Bully
Summer’s Point of ViewMy heart was beating so fiercely like a stampede of horses galloping through it. With every tick of the clock, I could feel my breaths becoming shallower and faster while my palms were becoming slick with sweat. As I watched the doorknob turn, my heart burned with anticipation. Slowly, the door creaked open, and I braced myself for what was to come. But then, as I saw who entered the room, it was as if a hundred thorns were suddenly plucked from my chest.At first, I assumed it was Steven who arrived, but to my surprise, it was Nana Tere who came carrying baskets of food. “Missus Carter, eat your breakfast and then take your medicine.”After placing her belongings on a nearby table, she turned to face me. However, upon catching sight of the man standing beside me, her eyes narrowed. “I’m sorry,” she said, her tone slightly guarded. “I didn’t know you had a visitor.”To prevent any misunderstandings, I extended my palm to introduce them to each other. I wanted to
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 44: Second trap and compromises
Summer’s Point of ViewMaggie’s face flushed with shame, leaving her speechless. In contrast, Amby remained still and quiet, determined to make amends for a wrongdoing she had not committed.In less than a minute, the door opened once again, revealing a man with an air of grandeur. Though I had not turned yet, the fragrance of his perfume was unmistakable and immediately recognisable.Maggie and I both turned to look in his direction. He briefly glanced at me before his attention fell on Amby, who was still bowing.“Oh.” As soon as I understood the situation, I burst out laughing uncontrollably. It was funny to think that I had fallen into this second trap. If someone were to see us without knowing the context, they would surely think that I was bullying the Disney Princess.Steven’s expression turned sour, but I simply shook my head, suppressing my laughter. It was odd, really, how I couldn’t help but laugh even when there was nothing particularly funny happening. After my giggles su
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 45: What are you planning?
Summer’s Point of ViewAs the afternoon sun beat down on the window, another visitor came.“Celine!” As soon as she entered, I greeted her with joy. However, my happiness turned to sorrow when I noticed how much weight she had lost. Upon further examination, I observed bruises and wounds all over her body, causing me to feel guilty. “I’m sorry,” I said, unable to contain my remorse.With a shake of her head, she hurried to my side and took my hand, giving it a comforting squeeze before offering me a smile. “You have no fault, so you have nothing to apologise for,” she reassured me. Then, she scanned me and asked in a modest tone, “What happened to you? Why are you here in the hospital again?”In order to prevent her from worrying, I put on a smile and lied. “It’s nothing serious, just a fever. The doctor told me it’s normal considering I was in a car accident. Please don’t worry about me.”She stared at me as tears streamed down her cheeks. “Missus Carter, you’re lying. I know the tru
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 46: Request
Summer’s Point of ViewI chose not to answer Celine’s question. I didn’t want her to worry about my situation, especially since my accident and recovery had already burdened her so much in the past. Additionally, I couldn’t forget that I had dragged her into my messy past, leading to her imprisonment. I didn’t want to put her through those painful experiences again. At the moment, she was the only person I had left.Fortunately, she picked up on my reluctance and refrained from asking for further details. Instead, we conversed for a few hours. When evening arrived, I urged her to return home so she could rest. Although she initially resisted, I insisted.Alone in the room once again, I no longer felt the weight of sadness that had consumed me. Thoughts of Celine’s release from prison had brought a sense of relief to my mind. However, as I gazed up at the ceiling, a different sensation began to take hold - hunger. My eyes shifted towards my phone, and a sudden idea struck me.I dialed
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 47: The Request
Summer’s Point of View“Then, what is it?” He loosened his necktie without taking his eyes off me.Taking a deep breath, I looked deeply into his ocean eyes that devoid of nothingness. “Before I answer that, I want to clarify everything,” I began, my voice steady but with a hint of apprehension. “I know I did a lot of bad things in my past, and even though I don’t remember all of that yet, I already regret it a lot.” I paused, feeling the weight of my words as my eyes searching for understanding. “And even though I desire to change and correct everything, I don’t have a time machine to do that.” “I’m glad you’re aware of that,” he commented coldly.I nod, feeling genuine remorse for my past actions. “And despite my mistakes, I am grateful that you never wished for me to die—”Before I could finish my sentence, he interrupted me, his voice laced with fury. “Then why did you keep insisting I wanted you to die?” he bellowed, causing my ears to ring with the force of his words. “Who tol
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 48: The Contract Agreement
Summer’s Point of ViewIn an elegant and suave manner, he leaned in towards my face, squinting his eyes in a way that was both alluring and refined. Then, he asked, “Why?”“What do you mean why?” I replied calmly, even though my heart skipped from his sudden movement. “I meant what I said. Let’s give this marriage a chance for three months, and if it doesn’t work out, then I’ll give you the divorce you’ve wanted for a long time.”“There are more important things you can ask than this—”“Like what?”“Money. Shares from the company. Everything,” he coldly spat.“And what’s wrong with wanting this?” My eyes fixated on him as I could see his clear hesitation towards the suggestion I had made.“Although it's not too heavy for me, the burden of your request might be too much for you to bear. The odds are against you, and failure seems likely.”“And so?”“This wasn't the best option. You could've chosen a better choice.”“I know that.”“Are you sure you want this?”“I do.”“I'm offering you
