Got A Free Husband, His Son Was A Bonus Chapter 62
~ DESMOND ~I was scrolling through my mails while Claudia updated me on a few of the arrangements for the upcoming board presentation.Her voice was steady and professional as always, but something about her felt kind of off. There was a stiffness to her tone, an artificial calm that didn’t match the woman who had worked under me for years. She had always been confident, too confident at that but now it was like she was trying to fold herself into the smallest version of herself possible.She had become less casual and less bent on me, like she used to. Maybe she was finally about to respect my marital state at last. Still, there was something else beneath the surface, something uneasy.As I looked up from the screen of my computer, I caught her turning away from my gaze, her face angled sharply toward the window.Her hands kept fidgeting with her pen, her fingers tapping against the plastic over and over, fast and restless. Her eyes were unfocused, her face pale beneath her makeup.

~MELISSA~"What is it?" He drew closer and my eyes steadied on his."I was beginning to wonder, Desmond. When it's time for us to terminate our marriage, how are we going to tell Caleb? How do you think he's gonna take it?"His shoulders dropped and he let out a soft sigh, scratching the corner of his lips. It was as if he never thought of it. "Or are we gonna lie to him too that his parents aren't separating?""When we get there we'll sort it out.""No, Desmond. No I thought you already had it planned ahead.""I did. But I just never fully figured how to go about that part. It won't be hard. In the next two years, he'll be a bit mature than this. We'll just be telling him," He took a step closer and his hand rests on my shoulder, his gaze away from mine. "that we're separating. Things got aren't that bad but–"I didn't let him finish before my head dropped into my palms. This was terrible. It was really terrible. How could I never think of it?"Look it's better than having to tell hi

~MELISSA~After getting three stitches under my lip, I sat on the hospital bench, with a small plaster attached to the side of my nose and one on my lip, my fingers interlocked and a bottle of painkillers sitting beside me. Patricia had given me a jacket to wear over my grey spaghetti strap dress. To cover all the blood on my chest too, I believe. I couldn't tell if it was out of unusual kindness or her wanting me to always appear presentable.Claudia! That bitch!Maybe I shouldn't have tried to get her jealous by kissing her boss in front of her but hitting me with a ball??I was using a finger to press down on my numbed nose when Mr Steele walked out of the clinic."Hey," he said. "The doctor said we can go now."I got up immediately, grabbed my drugs from the bench and followed him.When I stood back there, I could hear the panicking voices of Patricia and Anna. And of course, Claudia's as everyone hurried around me. She sounded so fake as she cried, asking me if I was okay. I coul

~RICHARD~"Richard!" I heard Patricia's voice from inside. "Who's that?""You were right - There's no one. It's just me!" I roared out before facing the new prisoner in my cell, both of her hands clamped over her mouth."Let me go, please.." The moment she said that, I gripped her arm and pulled her off the wall, dragging her across the corridor, my ears full of her whimpers and please.If she had heard everything Patricia and I just spoke of, then I couldn't let her walk away just like that.I pushed the next door open and threw her into my room, locking the door. "Let me go, please," she pleaded from the wall where I held her."You were listening to Patricia and I.""No. I swear I wasn't," Her fingers shuddered over her mouth. "I was just trying to find the bathroom.""That explains why you were hiding.""No. I'm sorry. I.. I didn't hear anything.""It doesn't matter if you keep lying. Your days in this company are over anyway. Pack your things and get ready to leave. We don't nee

~RICHARD~"No child of mine is going to continue behaving like his and expect I'll give him a chance at the company generations have been building after generations with sweat and determination," Mr Steele had said to me while I was seventeen and on my knees. I had forgotten what my offence was back that day but those were the kind of words I always heard from my father.He saw how desperate I've always been for CG Empire and he knew I was relenting cause I was sure it'll be mine as his first son. But I was going to get shocked on the way.Well, I wasn't interested in talking about my father or his injustice towards me over the years. I was more worried about Melissa. Not for what happened to her but what she had said to me earlier.And more worried, I was about my reaction - I sat at that breakfast table and it wasn't because of my father. But because of her.He sounded genuinely happy to see me at the gathering despite my usual attitude of always ignoring him. The way he talked to

~MELISSA ~Everyone was already seated at the dining table. It occurred to me that I hadn't noticed the festive decorations of the house before. Balloons tied to the chairs, ribbons trailing across the centerpiece, silver dishes arranged neatly.Desmond was already there, sitting quietly next to Mr Steele who was at the head of the table. His eyes lifted the moment I walked in, and for a second, I thought I saw relief flicker across his face. It's almost like how you look at someone when you're glad they're in one piece. I slipped into my seat between him and Caleb, smoothing my dress as I exhaled. And then the surprise arrived.The doors swung open. Claudia announced herself even before we saw her."Hi everyone!" She shrieked with excitement. She walked in, gliding like she owned the air around her. Her olive green dress glittered as she approached -expensive and fitted. Her hair was styled and she was a walking bottle of perfume. It appeared as if I was the only lady who was si
