MY CRUEL HUSBAND CHAPTER 105
CONFRONTATION Maxwell’s POV Morning arrived quietly. Maxwell did not wake with the usual urgency that often pushed him out of bed before the sun had properly risen. Instead, he opened his eyes slowly, staring at the ceiling as the pale light of dawn filtered through the curtains. For a few seconds he remained still, allowing the reality of the day to settle into his mind.Today was the day. The meeting with Greg.The beginning of a confrontation that had been decades in the making, long before Maxwell had even understood the meaning of corporate rivalry or inherited betrayal.He inhaled deeply and sat up on the edge of the bed. The house was silent except for the distant hum of the city beginning to stir. Normally he would have rushed to prepare for work, moving quickly through his morning routine with the efficiency of someone who had trained himself to respect every passing minute.But today felt different.Today demanded clarity, not haste.Maxwell rose slowly and walked toward t

THOUGHT TO RECLAIM THE COMPANY BACK.The room remained quiet after Anne’s last words, but the silence no longer carried confusion or grief. It carried direction. Maxwell stood near the window for several moments, staring at the faint lights of the city beyond the glass. The world outside continued its ordinary rhythm, cars passing, distant conversations drifting upward from the street, the soft glow of neighboring apartments where lives unfolded without the weight now resting on his shoulders.Behind him, Anne remained still, watching him carefully.She knew that expression. It was the same one he wore whenever he made a decision that would change the course of his life.Finally, Maxwell exhaled slowly and reached for his phone on the table beside him.Anne tilted her head slightly. “What are you doing?”Maxwell glanced at the screen, scrolling through a list of contacts that contained years of alliances, negotiations, and fragile professional ties. His thumb paused on one name.“Greg

SOFT REFLECTION Maxwell’s POV The house was quiet when I arrived, the kind of quiet that does not soothe but listens. The lights in the living room were dim, casting soft amber shadows against the walls. Anne was seated on the couch, her legs tucked beneath her, a book resting open in her lap though her eyes were not moving across the page. She looked up the moment she heard the door close behind me.“You’re late,” she said gently, studying my face almost immediately. “And something is wrong.”I loosened my tie, suddenly aware of how tight it felt around my neck. “We need to talk.”Her expression shifted. The book slid from her lap onto the cushion beside her. “That serious?”I crossed the room slowly and sat opposite her rather than beside her. The distance was instinctive. What I was about to say required space.“I met with Michael today,” I began.Her fingers tightened slightly against the fabric of her sleeve. The name alone carried history; neither of us pretended it did not ex

END OF THE PAST.Maxwell’s POV The memory faded the way evening light fades from a classroom window, slowly, reluctantly, leaving behind shapes but stealing the warmth. I had not realized I had been staring at the floor until Michael’s voice pulled me back.“And then?” he asked quietly.We were no longer boys standing beneath the tree outside the school gate. We were men seated in a dimly lit office that still smelled faintly of fresh paint and ambition. My office. The name on the glass door outside read Maxwell Foster, Founder and CEO. It looked powerful in bold black letters, but titles have a way of hiding the long road that leads to them.I leaned back in my chair and let out a breath I did not know I was holding.“After secondary school,” I began, “everything changed faster than I expected.”Mira had remained constant for a while. She was there through my early struggles, through the scholarships and late nights, through the hunger that was not just for food but for something la

WHISPERS AND SURPRISESMaxwell’s POVThe car slowed in front of the school gates, tires crunching lightly over gravel before coming to a smooth stop. Through the window I could already see clusters of students in uniform gathering beneath the jacaranda trees, some laughing too loudly, others hunched over last minute homework. The morning sun cast long shadows across the assembly ground, and for a brief second I wished I could remain inside the quiet cocoon of the vehicle.Daniel opened his door first, stepping out with the ease of someone who had never had to measure his entrances. I followed, adjusting the strap of my backpack over my shoulder. The car door closed behind me with a muted thud that somehow felt louder than the school bell.The murmurs began almost immediately.“That’s Harrison’s car.”“Wait… isn’t that Maxwell?”“Since when does he arrive like that?”The whispers were not cruel, but they were sharp with curiosity. In secondary school, change spreads faster than rumor b

MORNING VOICEMaxwell’s POVThe bathroom mirror reflected a version of me that still felt slightly displaced within the frame of this house. Steam curled against the glass in soft clouds, blurring the edges of my face before clearing again, as if the room itself was adjusting to my presence. I stood there longer than necessary after bathing, towel draped around my shoulders, studying the subtle changes that rest had already etched into my features. My eyes were clearer. The faint shadows beneath them, once permanent from late shifts and restless nights, had softened. It unsettled me how quickly the body responded to stability.I ran the towel through my hair and reached for my shirt, the fabric crisp beneath my fingers. The closet behind me still held too much empty space, my few belongings arranged neatly along one side as though hesitant to claim territory. As I buttoned the shirt carefully, aligning each button with more focus than required, my phone vibrated against the marble cou

RESCUING ANNE Anne's POV.Eleanor held me tightly and choked out, “Sorry, Anne. Endure it” I groaned in pain, enduring it, though it had declined. She half-dragged me through the living room. My heart was pounding so loudly I could barely hear anything else. My weight sagged against me, my body t

FAMILIARITY Anne's POVI heard Eleanor's voice, sounding urgent in my ear. “Where are you, Anne?” She asked, her tone dripped with quiet sympathy. “You told me yesterday that you're not feeling well, you're yet to return to the hostel.”I breathe slightly, swallowing the lump that formed in my thr

ENCOUNTER WITH CRYSTAL Anne's POV I blinked slowly as consciousness began to return. A faint voice drifted through the haze of my half-sleep, pulling me back to awareness. My vision was blurred at first, shapes and colors blending together, but as my eyes adjusted, I realized two people were stan

SPARKLING ROMANCE Anne's POV I became shy following my sudden outburst, as a result of unnecessary glances my voice had stolen from us. I looked down initially but later looked up to see Crystal smilingIi.“Crystal,” I lowered my voice this time. “Is that you? Thank you for the other day.”A slow
