I've never waited for time like now. The way I watched as each second went by, I was biting my fingernails. I was so anxious. I really, really wanted it to come out positive.

“Should I look first?” Victor asked as the time ran out. We were both looking away, as if that would change the results.

“Yes.” I nodded. Victor took a deep breath before walking toward where the tests were. It took him a minute to finally check. “Tell me.” I now wanted to know. He didn’t respond, just looked at me, and qu

  • His Ex Is Now A Billionaire's Wife   Chapter 44

    It was a good thing our marriage wasn't normal, as I could easily turn this into a business arrangement. He protects my family, and I would be willing to give him a second child as soon as this one arrived. So I put it on the table, but it turned out to offend him.“You still think this is just business?”“Well, I… we didn't talk about titles yet.”“This is real. We are making it work. Now, this woman—who took the DNA results? Are you sure they're not tampered with?”“I only did the DNA test to confirm it, but I recognized her as soon as I met her.”“You know, Ronan once asked me to look into someone. The way he spoke, I figured it was your mother, but I never found anything.”“Yeah, she's good.” I attempted to make a joke.“Lyra, I've done this many times. I work with detectives who can find anyone from any part of the continent with just their first name. If they didn't find her back then, then I don't know.”“Clara, she's my sister. Well, she's adopted, but yes, she's the one who t

    I was in shock.I honestly couldn't believe it, that after so many years of being like an orphan, I had finally found my mother.“It's her, Lyra. Carol Smith is your mother,” Ronan said.At that point, my eyes had already filled with tears. I blinked, but more tears just kept forming.I was Lyra Smith.Even though I was very young when I was left on the streets, I was smart enough to know my last name, so I kept using it. And before you ask, yes, I tried everything myself and eventually found my identity papers.“Are you alright?” Ronan asked again. I shook my head. I couldn't lie to him. I was so confused right now.“I don't know what to do. What... what do people with mothers do?”“Spend time with them?” Ronan also didn't know. I mean, he was honestly the wrong person to talk to about this considering he didn't grow up like a normal child. “She took years to find you, Lyra, so you have the right to react however you want. Your feelings are justified.”“I have so many questions for h

    Okay, no one needed to explain what was happening. Elara was clearly trying to threaten me, or kill me considering how she had almost done exactly that last time. I didn't take her lightly.“What did I do? I promise I'll fix it,” I blurted out.“Oh no, sweetheart, if you give in so quickly, it's not fun.” She sounded psychotic. “See, I found out you and Ronan used to fuck.”“That's all that happened. He has moved on with you. He proposed to you and...” I swallowed. “I'm married now. I'm pregnant with Victor's baby. Believe me, I have no business with Ronan anymore.”“Then what the fuck is he doing here?”“Oh, that. He... Victor... he came to see his friend,” I thought of that excuse quickly.“So there's nothing going on between the two of you?” She finally looked at me.I was so grateful that she was still by the door. She hadn't tried to get any closer.“Nothing.”“I have a tracker on his car. It was in a suspicious neighborhood today and my instincts tell me he went there with you.”

    “You… you think Dad is after Mom?” I asked quickly. “That's why her life is in danger?”“It's not my story to tell. Like I told you, I was adopted. I might be family, but I'm not in the state to tell you this.” She sighed. “Now I'll give Daniel Mom's hair and you can do a DNA test then. But until then, please think about taking Mom out of this place, okay?”“Thank you.” I didn't push it. Plus, there was already a knock on the door and it was Victor with Ronan. Ronan was asking him to calm down, but Victor wasn't listening, and from the way they sounded, if I didn't go out there now, they would just murder each other.“Shut the fuck up, Ronan. She's my wife now. I have more right to her than you.”“All I'm saying is Lyra will come out. No need to knock like that.”Before Victor could clap back, I opened the door. He immediately grabbed me and asked if I was okay and, most importantly, what Ronan was doing here.“Ronan just came to bring me something important,” I spoke softly.“Oh, so

    These little moments are what I craved with Ronan, but as we all know, he was too busy pleasing his father to even spare me this type of attention.“I… I was at the beach. I had to change my clothes, that’s… that’s why I put on perfume,” I explained even when he didn’t ask.“It’s driving me insane, dear wife.” I giggled at his words and looked away from the mirror. “Hold on…” He turned me around quickly and faced me. “Is my wife shy?”“What?” I laughed. I wasn’t shy, just this type of attention made me blush.“Yes.”“No, I’m not. I just… we are still, I just…”“It’s alright. So, have you thought of us?” He held both my cheeks, and damn, I had forgotten he asked what we were now, that he expected a response when he was back.“To be fair, I thought you’d return in the evening.” I was so good at excuses.“Fair. Alright, I have our food ready, shall we go and eat?”“Actually, I want us to watch a movie.” Again, Ronan didn’t give me these moments, and now that I seemed to have a chance, wh

    Just as Clara almost opened her mouth to speak, Mom stopped her.“All she needs to know is that he is not a good man, that's all.”“She is grown enough, she—”“She’s twenty-one.” Mom cut her off. I could try to force Clara to tell me, but I knew she wouldn’t because she sighed when Mom mentioned my age.“Whatever, but if anything happens to her, it's all on you.” Clara stood up and walked toward the kitchen.“She has been protected by the Lord; she will continue to be.” Mom sounded confident and sure. I wanted to hear more, but now my mind was on Victor. If he was home, then surely he spoke to the guards, and I couldn’t imagine what that meant for me.I also stood up and followed Clara to the kitchen side. Mom asked if I had any other questions, but I told her I was good. I had many questions, yes, but I had to leave.“Did Victor also return home?” I asked Clara, and she looked at me without answering.“How even did you marry him?” she asked after a moment, after she took a sip of her
