Chapter 9 The Secret Is Out

Evan Shore
Hunter returned to the house he shared with Audrey in a daze. The once cozy living space was now drab, and the flowers on the windowsill had withered as well. Tears streamed down his face as he collapsed to the floor.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Hunter hastily scrambled to the door.

"Audrey!" he called out in a hopeful tone.

Unfortunately, there was only a deliveryman holding a small box standing before him instead of the figure he was hoping for.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Hunter Jones? You

  • Marriage by Betrayal   Chapter 11 A Delightful Surprise From the Sea

    It was yet another bright and sunny day. Lucas and I agreed to go to a nearby town to buy our daily necessities together.I opened the window just as I have been doing ever since I've taken to staying here. To my surprise, I saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure standing outside the yard.Hunter's haggard state was certainly a rare sight to me. He met my gaze, took a few quick steps forward, and gripped the fence tightly."Audrey, I've finally found you."The moment I saw him, my good mood for the day immediately soured. A look of annoyance inadvertently appeared on my face. It seemed that Hunter actually saw it as he seemed to be hurt by it. His whole body began to tremble, and his voice choked as he rushed to explain, "Sarah and Jerry lied to me. I had no idea that Grandma had passed away. Grandma has been so kind to me. I couldn't possibly neglect her. I just…"He stood there with his lips parted, struggling to put his reasons into words."I'm sorry, Audrey."Meanwhile, I lo

  • Marriage by Betrayal   Chapter 10 Life in Noscaria

    Sarah excitedly rushed to the meeting place when she got Hunter's call."Honey, I have some good news for you," she said, her tone laced with excitement. "I'm pregnant. It's yours. We're going to be parents."Hunter held the pregnancy test report indifferently and scoffed, "I always use protection. Besides, I've been taking male contraceptive injections for a long time to prevent myself from accidentally impregnating you. So, whose child is it that you're carrying?"Sarah's face turned stark white.Finally, she understood why she didn't get pregnant despite sleeping with Hunter so many times. Regret crawled at her chest, for she wouldn't have thought of getting pregnant by another man out of desperation if she had known about it.Still, she didn't expect Hunter to have used protections the whole time he was with her. Jerry certainly hadn't said a thing about it."Jerry's spilled all the beans that needed spilling. So what about you? Do you have anything to say?"Sarah started sh

Hunter hastily scrambled to the door."Audrey!" he called out in a hopeful tone.Unfortunately, there was only a deliveryman holding a small box standing before him instead of the figure he was hoping for."Excuse me, are you Mr. Hunter Jones? You have a parcel from Ms. Audrey White."Hunter eagerly signed his name and accepted the package when he heard Audrey's name.He was dumbstruck after opening the box.That was because there was a fake marriage certificate, Audrey's engagement ring, and several printed images of Sarah's past social media posts in the box.It turned out that Audrey had long known about his marriage registration with Sarah.Each of his affections toward Sarah was posted on social media and became the weapon Sarah

    "Lucas, you're back!" Nora greeted the man before introducing him to me."Audrey, this is my brother, Lucas."She happily bounced over to her brother. "Lucas, this is Audrey, my friend from the East that I'd mentioned to you before."After that, she turned to me and said, "Audrey, this is elk meat. It's delicious. You should stay here for dinner tonight!"As she spoke, she carried the elk meat into the kitchen, eager to set up the dinner. As she flitted away, Lucas stretched a hand to me."Hello."Since he had his back to the light, his tall figure seemed to loom over me. His blond hair shimmered under the dim lighting, and his blue eyes resembled a tranquil sea. Yet, there was no denying that he was as warm as Nora. When he learned that I was about to go to the beach alone to take photos, he swiftly offered me to come aboard his boat. "The scenery at sea is exceptionally breathtaking. I can take you diving nearby, and we can go fishing for fresh sea urchins," he said.Althoug

  • Marriage by Betrayal   Chapter 7 Something Is off With Jerry

    Hunter bought some nutritional supplements for Grace and a gift for Audrey. On his way to the hospital, he kept thinking about how Audrey would react when she saw him.'Will she cry aggrievedly? Or will she glare at me angrily? Maybe… she'll throw herself into my arms?'A faint smile played on his lips as he thought about it.Hunter swore he would definitely make it up to her now that he was back, feeling bad for putting Audrey through all sorts of misery recently.Halfway through the journey, he suddenly received a call from Jerry."Mr. Jones, uh… Ms. White had checked her grandmother out of the hospital this morning, and I don't know where they are now."Hunter instinctively retorted, "That's impossible. Grandma is too weak to endure any strains. How could she possibly be discharged from the hospital?"On the other end of the phone, Jerry stammered and couldn't answer. He simply said that the hospital had handled the discharge procedures that morning and that he had only just

    Third-Person POVAfter the wedding, Hunter and Sarah flew abroad and boarded a cruise ship for their honeymoon, as planned."Did you drop Audrey off at home safely?"Jerry Scott, Hunter's assistant, nodded guiltily."Please rest assured, Mr. Jones. We have safely sent Ms. White back home."Hunter felt a lot more relieved upon hearing his answer. After all, Audrey's grandmother, Grace Smith, was still in the hospital. So, Audrey definitely won't leave. Therefore, he figured he could just make it up to her when he got back.However, Hunter couldn't wait any longer before the honeymoon was even over.
