DENVER'S POV

Thankfully, there's no blood on my hands.

I rushed Mr Edwards to the hospital the minute his eyes shut close, calling out that it was an emergency. He was taken to the ICU when I told them I suspect a case of poisoning and now, he's breathing soundly in one of the words.

I'm standing on the other side of his room, looking at him.

His words keep echoing in my head..."Someone wants me dead and that person is a woman." This guy knows more than he's let on, but it has almost cost his life so I won't be putting him under pressure to speak. At least until he opens his eyes.

I need to fucking know what's going on.

What woman wants him dead? Could it be that snake, Laura? How did she know about him? I know she and Liam are working together but she hadn't met Liam when my father died.

That means she wasn't there when Barrister Jordan was killed. I traced the period the barrister went missing and it was only a couple of weeks after my dad died.

Something doesn't add up here.

  • Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother    Chapter 75

    NERIAH'S POV The king of America. I can swear I've seen that inscription on a t-shirt Laura used to wear. She had gotten it from that miserable thug of a boyfriend who she'd been following about during college. I would have said it was probably that guy but he's too silly to be dreaded the way Eden said it. She's snoring softly on my couch now. I can still see pink bruises from the wounds healing on her face and hands. I wonder what they do to her wherever she goes. I wonder where she even goes. My mom would ask me to 'keep away from matters that don't concern me directly' but I can't shake this feeling off when it comes to Eden. There's just this nudge to help her. To know her. I can't explain why. Her large eyes flicker open and she rubs her eyes on them sleepily. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" I shrug. Even I don't have an answer to that question. I've tossed and turned on the blankets I spread out on the ground but I just can't sleep. "I guess I'll sleep in the morning

    NERIAH'S POV I'm staring at the box of chocolates sitting at my doorstep, utterly confused. I thought they were from Myles because he's been sending me texts with lots of heart emojis on iMessage, along with flower deliveries which I've been ignoring, but today, I received chocolates and a big, pink teddy bear. The card attached to it says, "Call me. Denver Chadwick." It's been exactly seven days since he asked me to get my things and leave the company and since then I've neither heard from him nor seen him. A member of the sales team, Ava, told me that she hasn't seen Gia around either and that the sales department is in disarray. Maybe Denver wants me back because he's seen that he can't handle the company by himself. Especially with his failing health. My arms wrap tighter around the pink teddy as I bend to pick the box. I'm not a girl who likes the color pink but I must admit that this is really cute, plus it's nice to

    LAURA'S POV "Liam, what the hell?" His head is in his hands, a pack of aspirin and a bottle of water are sitting on the couch beside him. My head's banging too but I don't want the aspirin. I want to know what the fuck is going on in the family I'm married into. I saw a copy of the will the late Mr Chadwick left and all I could do was scream "Fuck!" until day break. Fuck. That's the only way I can express how I feel inside. "Liam, I need you to say something." And he better start talking fast or else I'd unleash my crankiness on him, and boy, would he be so surprised. i want to know everything about the will but first, I need to know what happened last night. "Sit down," he groans weakly. This isn't a command, or request, I want to oblige but..I lower myself to the ground in front of him. There's a large couch behind me but this is where I want to be right now. On the ground. "My whole life is coming to a stop in front of me, Laura. I feel like I'm losing it gradual

    DENVER'S POV There's nothing on Judy Mckeine and there's an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. It's almost like I can't breathe. How the hell does a woman exist in only letters? I had to ask Samuel to widen the horizon of his search as she might be in other states, or countries matter-of-factly. It's 2 am and I can't find sleep. My hands are fisted on the table with a glass of whiskey in front of me. Why does everything regarding my father's will stop at a dead end? Why am I not making progress?I almost picked my phone up to call Liam and ask why he killed Barrister Jordan but that would compromise everything I'm working for. And how did Liam do all of this without any of Neriah's knowledge?Or could she have known the barrister? I pick my phone to send her a text on iMessage but it occurs to me that I displaced her from work. I'm the last person she'd want to talk to right now. I grab the glass

    LAURA'S POV I've seen Liam drunk severally, but never like this. He's staggering, shirt left open. His feet are bare and I can't find both tie and jacket. "Liam?" He has a bottle in his hand. "What is this? What's wrong with you?" He stumbles, crashing to the ground. Montero shakes his head in disgust. "Look who you left me for, Laura" he mutters into my ear as he crouches to lift Liam to his feet. "Oh shut the fuck up." Now I'm in need of something strong to pour down my throat. What on earth made him drink this much? The fact that he ran into me at the orphanage? The fact that I changed my name? Or said that I knew him? I used to think Liam was simpleminded and foolish, but this man...the man who's been parading this house lately, he's complicated and completely unfathomable. I can't seem to understand him or figure out his motives for acting like he does. Three days back he stormed into the room, bent me over and thrust feverishly into me like he's been sex starved for
