My Deceptive Heart Chapter 79: Burning Lust
Could he have been with Nicole? The moment that possibility formed, it felt like something inside me cracked. My chest ached, and I had to press my lips together to stop myself from making a sound.Should I confront him? The question echoed in my head, but every time I tried to hold onto it, fear followed close behind.What if everything Nicole said was true?What if all of this, everything between us, was nothing more than a carefully crafted lie?What if he had only been pretending all this time, pretending to love me, to care for me, just to gain his grandfather's trust... just to secure his place, his future, his claim over everything the Saavedra name held?The thought alone was unbearable. I wanted answers. I wanted to sit up, walk into that bathroom, and demand the truth from him. But I could not move because a part of me was terrified that once the truth was spoken out loud, there would be no taking it back.That it would shatter eve

I do not think I saw her at our wedding," I said casually, though there was nothing casual about the thoughts running through my mind. I needed him to say it. I needed him to tell me the truth."She was out of the country back then. She was not here," he replied simply.I noticed it the slight stiffness in his movements. The way he avoided my eyes for just a second too long. He was nervous."By the way, what was she doing here? Is it business?" I asked again, pressing just a little further."Yeah... something like that," he answered.Something like that
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 77: The Lie
That was all the confirmation I needed. Nicole was his ex. I knew the secretary had been with Zeke for years. She would know his past better than anyone. And the way she looked at me, nervous and almost afraid, told me everything she was too scared to say out loud.Something inside me snapped. Before I could even think, before I could stop myself, anger surged through my veins, hot and uncontrollable. I turned and marched straight toward his office door. Behind me, I heard the secretary scramble to her feet, panic in her voice as she rushed after me.At that point, my mind had already gone somewhere dark. I was convinced I would catch them doing something they should not be doing. That was the only explanation for her behavior, for the tension in the air.When I reached the door, I did not knock. I shoved it open with force, my heart pounding violently in my chest. But what I saw was not what I expected. Zeke was seated behind his desk, composed in his swivel ch
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 76: Shadow of Doubt
I was on my way to Zeke's office carrying a bag of food I had bought from a nearby cafe. The warmth of the meal still seeped through the paper as if it carried a piece of my heart along with it. I was supposed to head straight to the shelter where I volunteered, but I couldn't resist stopping by first.He had left in such a rush this morning, skipping breakfast entirely after we both woke up late, and the thought of him working on an empty stomach didn't sit right with me.He had just come back from a business trip to Japan, and like always, he returned with too many gifts, little pieces of a place he had been to, carefully chosen with me in mind. But more than the gifts, it was him I had missed terribly.The moment he walked through the door yesterday afternoon, all the distance and restraint we had been holding onto for nearly two weeks shattered. We did not even try to hold back. He kissed me like he had been starving, lifting me into his arms and
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 75: Shatter
"If I'd said yes to his proposal back then, Zeke would never have married you. We both know the truth, don't we? That you and your family are only after the Saldivar money that's why you jumped at the chance to marry him, right?" She continued, her voice sharp. "I was focused on my career back then. I was just starting to make a name for myself internationally, and I couldn't afford to have it ruined by a marriage. So I told him to wait. We fought about it and he got upset. In the end, he was left with no choice but to marry you to get the inheritance, because that was Don Juancho's condition for him." she explained."Excuse me, Miss. I don't see why you need to tell me this. I don't think I need to hear your story. You should explain this to Zeke, not me." My voice came out sharper than I'd intended, edge with the anger that had been building in my chest.Other women might have started a catfight when faced with their husband's mistress, but not me. I'd always believed I didn't need
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 74: The Other Woman
Zeke was on a two-week business trip to Japan, leaving me alone in the penthouse. It had only been six days since he’d gone, but I already missed him so badly. Usually his trips only lasted four days to a week because he often came home early, as if he couldn’t bear being away from me either. This was the longest we’d been apart, and the distance felt like a weight on my chest. Even though he calls me daily, it still seems not enough. I knew now what they meant when they said love makes even the shortest separation feel endless.My mother-in-law had stopped by the other day with Anika. We’d wandered around the city and shared a meal, and it helped a little. On other days, I’d volunteer at charity events and feeding programs, or lose myself in painting to chase away the boredom. I’d already finished two pieces, all born from the empty space he left behind.That afternoon, I stepped back with a small smile as I put the final touches on a new painting, wiping paint
