Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 59: Waiting for Answers
Aria's POV “Ma'am, you’ve been here for almost two hours.” The waiter’s gentle voice pulled me from my thoughts. “Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?”I faced her. “No, I'm fine with the coffee you brought. Thank you.”"Alright, Ma'am.”She collected the empty cup from a nearby table before heading to another group of customers. I absentmindedly turned my gaze toward the transparent glass to see Alexander's security men still outside. They had been standing beside the vehicles for nearly two hours.The poor men couldn't even complain.How could they? They weren't ready to see their heads on the floor.I felt a little pang of guilt for them. It's still my fault anyway; I'm the reason they're here. I raised my hand and summoned another waiter. “Excuse me.”“Yes, ma'am.”“Could you please prepare meals for those men outside?”She followed my gaze. “Of course, ma'am.”A few minutes later, several packed meals were carried outside. The guards exchanged surprised glances. When
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 58: Two Women, One Face
Alexander's POV My security team immediately stepped between us as one of them extended an arm, blocking her path. “Alex, please!” her voice followed me across the driveway.I climbed into the back seat of my car and shut the door. Through the window, I saw Avie standing helplessly behind my men, her eyes swallowed with tears. Looking away, the vehicle drove out of the compound. My phone suddenly vibrated inside my pocket. I retrieved it and answered the call.“Hello.”“Mr Sterling, we’ve identified the person who uploaded the video of your wife during her speech in the architectural department.”My expression remained cold. “I don't care who did it.” I watched through the window as the mansion disappeared behind us. “Give that person a punishment he/she will remember for the rest of their life.”“Yes, sir.”The call ended. And I slipped the phone back into my pocket. That careless recording has created an unnecessary problem. Because of the video, Mrs Ava Grey had discovered tha
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 57: The Unwanted Visit
Alexander's POV“How dare you come to my house?” Mrs Ava Grey’s voice cracked through the air the moment she opened the front door and found me standing on the doorstep. She didn't bother hiding her displeasure. Her fingers tightened around the edge of the door as she stared at me with open hostility. “Grandma,” Avie appeared behind her after hearing the commotion. She rubbed her eyes, feeling sleepy as curiosity had drawn her toward the entrance. “I'm trying to get some sleep. Who is…” The instant she saw me, she paused, her entire expression changed. “Alex?” Her eyes brightened as she hurried forward and wrapped her fingers around my arm.Seriously… I hated this. She's so irritating.“Alex, I'm glad you finally came here after all these years of refusing to set foot inside the Grey Mansion. Please come inside; let's welcome you properly.”I immediately pulled my arm free and straightened the lapel of my suit. My action wiped the smile from her face. “Mrs Ava Grey, it's nice to s
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 56: The New Mission
Samuel gritted his teeth as he watched his father disappear through the door. He looked away, trying to suppress the resentment boiling beneath his calm expression. Stella stepped beside him, watching her husband's retreating figure. She waited until she was certain Thomas was gone. “Why didn't you kill her when you had the chance?” She whispered. “That was your biggest mistake.”“I couldn't, Mom.”“I was scared of what Dad would do if anything happened to Isabella.”She rolled her eyes. “Do you honestly think your father cares about that girl? He only kept her around because she served his selfish ambitions.” She paused, her expression becoming suspicious. “But lately, I'm beginning to wonder.”Samuel glanced at her. “Wonder about what?”“What if his obsession has gone too far?" She folded her arms. “What if he has a develop a soft spot for her?”Samuel scoffed. “I don't care. I'm still his flesh and blood. Every piece of his wealth, his company, and his dirty business connections
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 55: The Bigger Trap
The wounded leader collapsed onto the grass after running for thirty-five minutes. His breathing came in ragged bursts. He pressed his palm against his shoulder, but blood continued to seep between his fingers. He looked around as sweat covered his forehead and neck, soaking his shirt. He noticed there were no buildings or people around, only tall grass, scattered trees, and a dirt path disappearing into the distance. He was relieved he managed to escape again after weeks of being a hostage without a trap. However, he never knew he had walked into an even bigger trap. His hand trembled as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the phone he’d stolen during his escape. He switched on the device and went to the dial center. After inputting the number, he put the call on speaker. He was too weak to hold it to his ear. The phone rang three times before someone answered. “Hello, Sir…. It's me, Tom. I need to speak with the Boss. Please, I need his help. I'm in serious trouble.”“Whe

Aria's POV “Mrs Anna.” Lucy and Joy sprang from their chairs the moment they realised the woman standing behind us. I quickly lowered my head, hiding my face as I brushed off the tears from my cheeks with the back of my hand. Mrs Anna's gaze swept over the table before settling on me. “Mrs Sterling, you shouldn't be having breakfast here." Her tone was polite. “This cafe is reserved for staff. It's not appropriate for the CEO's wife to dine here.”My expression hardened. Before I could respond, Joy and Lucy hurriedly pushed their chairs back. “We're sorry, Mrs Sterling. We shouldn't have sat here with you.” They took their breakfast trays and hurried toward another table. I watched them go as a strange emptiness settled inside me. At least they’re the only people I can feel comfortable with.Mrs Anna gestured towards the way. “Please come with me to the VIP dining section. Your meal can be served there.”I glanced around. That's when I noticed several employees had stopped eating

Aria’s POV I adjusted the strap of my handbag as I stepped out of the terminal, my eyes scanning the unfamiliar city in Australia. The sun was warm against my skin, but it did little to calm the strange unease twisting inside my stomach. This was my first international project as an architect. Th
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 5: She Belongs To Me
Alexander's POV The four men froze, when they saw my men. They were outnumbered and outgunned. The leader looked around, his eyes wide behind his mask. He realised he had walked into a trap. One by one, the intruders let their weapons clatter onto the marble floor. My men rushed in, pinning them d

Alexander’s POV I leaned my head back against the chair, closing my eyes. Inside this room, I had spent the last four hours staring at both Isabella Grey file records, a spy who once worked for a syndicate and Aria Bennett file records, a top-tier architect from New York. The dates didn't make
Her Face, My Wife's Shadow Chapter 3: Going Somewhere, Miss Aria
Aria's POV Where did that memory come from? I remember when I grew up in the United States. I remembered my fifth birthday party with the lopsided cake; my graduation; my dad's burial; and every detail of my life in New York from the time I was a little girl until now. So why was my brain showing
