AUDREY

My lashes flickered, chest clenching as I stared into the nurse’s eyes.

“Surgery?” I whispered, my voice cracking as I moved closer to her.

“I'm afraid, yes,” she replied, “he has nine major fractures on his left shoulder, including his humerus, scapula and a few pieces of the bone fragments almost pierced his heart—”

In a blur, I grabbed the nurse by her shoulders, squeezing tight as she stared at me with shock.

“Please!” I whispered, “Let nothing happen to him. I won't be able to forgive myself.”

The nurse nodded, forcing a smile as I let go of her. Then I crept toward the window to look inside.

“You should have taken the check and left.” I whispered, glaring through the window even though I couldn't see Richard. A tear slid down my face.

“Miss Audrey,” a masculine voice called from behind me, one of my father's bodyguards.

I wiped my eyes before I turned to face him, letting off a fake smile.

“Your father has sent us to take you home.” He said, “You need to change out of

  • He Cheated, So I Bought A Husband    CHAPTER 41: Love wasn't part of the agreement

    AUDREY My head ached slightly as I massaged it with my palm, sending a sharp pain lancing through my skull.My left grip tightened around my lap as I let out a sharp squeal. At that moment, someone knocked on my door twice before opening it—Vickie.“You wanted to see me,” she said as she closed the door gently before approaching me. “What's wrong?”I turned to her with a fake smile on my lips. “It's nothing… just a mild headache.”Vickie placed her right palm on my neck as her eyes studied my mood. “Your temperature is normal,” she said. “I think you're stressed.”My shoulders fell as I heaved a deep sigh of anguish. “Vickie, I couldn't sleep all night.” I whimpered. “I don't think I'm well.”Vickie adjusted her position as she shifted toward me, placing her hands gently on mine. “You can trust me, Audrey,” she said. I sighed, lifting my eyes to hers. “Richard and I fought. He said I should let Kevin and Claire get married.”Vickie's eyes narrowed. “Why would he say that?” Vickie as

    AUDREY My gaze narrowed as I crossed my arms at that moment. Richard's stare froze the moment he saw me, shocked.Then I took a step toward him, gaze trailing with a mixture of shock and suspicion as it switched between them.“Richard,” I muttered as I raised an eyebrow, “What is going on here?”“Nothing,” Richard replied with a half smile. “I asked Vickie to show me around the mansion.”My eyes narrowed even more. “You've been here for quite a while now,” I replied, shaking my head slightly as I stared at Vickie. “I thought you’d be familiar with the mansion by now.”Richard smiled. “Well, it is a huge mansion,” he said “And besides, I spent quite some time in the hospital… twice.”My lips instantly curled downwards that moment. I heaved a sigh of distress as my chest ached.“I'm… sorry.” I whimpered, forcing a smile at him.Richard then approached me and held my hand as he stared into my sad eyes.“Hey,” he whispered as I looked up. “I never said it was your fault. I'm sorry.”At t

    RICHARD The door crept open quietly as Vickie and I walked inside, glancing every second in case.Vickie clutched my arm tightly as she walked behind me, shimmering in fear.“Richard… I don't know if this is a good idea—” She whispered, pushing the door quietly to close it.“We'll be fine,” I replied, less bothered. “Mr Sinclair won't come back anytime soon.”“It's not just him…” she replied as I went straight to all the drawers to open them. Vickie let out a weak sigh as she watched me while I searched through every single file I touched. Then she approached me.“This is the third room I've shown you and you haven't found anything yet.”“Yet…” I replied, giving her a hopeful smirk but that moment, she took hold of my right wrist, causing me to pause.“What if someone else sees us?” She whispered, “Maybe a maid or Claire… or even Audrey.”“No one's gonna know,” I said as I placed my hand on hers as I assured her. “I promise, you're not going to get into any trouble.” Instantly, Vic

    RICHARD I stood still behind the pillar upstairs, watching closely as the maids cleared the table. Dominic and Kevin had left immediately after the Thanksgiving dinner, alongside his friends, whom he had invited.“Now's my chance,” I mused out loud before turning in the direction of Audrey's room. She hadn't said a single word to me since she went to confront Dominic about Kevin's intention to marry Claire.She had locked her door from the inside, a sign that she didn't want to be disturbed… perfect timing!Slowly, I crept past her room and headed for Dominic's room, eyes glancing back to make sure no one was watching.Slowly, I unlocked the door and the moment I entered his room, I went straight to his file drawers.“Francine… Come on, where are you?” I mused out loud as I navigated through the files, trailing my eyes down every writing and pictures on every page.Pissed because I couldn't find anything, I tossed the files carelessly aside and I opened another file.“Come on…” I mut

    AUDREY My dad's eyes narrowed with curiosity as I batted my thoughts. “Audrey,” he called out, hand clicking on his glass as he was about to take a sip. “Are you okay?”My eyes began to strain as I kept shifting my gaze from Kevin to Claire and back, repeatedly, unaware that my dad was speaking to me.Claire bit her lower lip seductively as she clutched Kevin's arm tightly while still staring at me. She looked completely unfazed by my reaction, and so did Kevin, confirming my theory that they were planning something less stupid but more sinister.“Audrey!” My dad called again as his voice rose sharply, causing me to flinch hard. “What's wrong with you?”My gaze turned to him, eyes wide open as I forced a smile. “Nothing,” I said, before turning to Claire. “I'm really happy for you, Claire.”The seconds that followed were a long, awkward silence that felt like eternity. I was so shocked that I felt my skin melting into my seat in embarrassment.Then I turned to Richard who was also s

  • He Cheated, So I Bought A Husband    CHAPTER 36: The Thanksgiving shock

    AUDREY For the first time in a long time, I felt quite happy as today was a very special day for us.Vickie and the other maids set the table with different kinds of delicacies, especially my personal favourite, pumpkin pie and cheesecake for dessert.Richard sat beside me and smiled at the chicken breast in front of him. “Thank God I'm not celebrating Thanksgiving in the hospital.” He muttered.I smiled back at him, but then it faded in an instant. Kevin and Claire walked elegantly toward the table and sat beside one another as Claire smirked at me.I ignored them, unwilling to let anything ruin my mood at all. My dad had also invited some of his friends to join us at dinner, including Sam.“Please join us, Vickie,” I said as she was about to leave with the other. Slowly, I turned to my dad. “If you don't mind, Dad, I'd like Vickie to join us at the table.”He hesitated for a while before nodding, completely aware that we were very close. Vickie forced a smile as she looked at me be
