My Ex-Wife's Hidden Identityย ย ย chapter 90
The soft rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor filled the room, a steady pulse of life in an otherwise tense and fragile silence. The morning sun filtered through the pale curtains, casting gentle streaks of gold across the hospital floor.Rita stirred slightly.Adrian looked up, his eyes bloodshot from staying awake all night. He had barely moved from her side, watching her, whispering apologies, regretting every moment he hadnโt spoken the truth.โRita?โ he leaned closer, his heart suddenly racing with anticipation and fear.Her lashes fluttered, slowly revealing her eyes โ red-rimmed, dull, and unreadable.He smiled faintly, relieved. โYouโre awakeโฆ thank God.โBut Rita didnโt smile. She didnโt speak. She simply blinked, and her gaze drifted away from him, toward the ceiling.Adrianโs throat tightened.โRitaโฆ I was so scared. I thought IโโโWhy didnโt you tell me?โ Her voice was hoarse but carried enough weight to silence him instantly.Adrian froze. โIโฆ I didnโt know how. I was af

Sophie wasn't done.Not by a long shot.Ever since Adrian had stubbornly refused to leave the pregnant woman she called "trash," Sophie had been plotting.She knew Adrianโs weakness โ his family.If she couldnโt get him back with sweet words or tears, she'd drag his mother into it.After all, Adrianโs mother had high standards.There was no way sheโd approve of a woman she had never heard of โ a woman carrying a child that might not even be Adrian's."Letโs go," Sophie urged, practically dragging Adrianโs mother and sister into her car.They drove quickly across the city to Adrianโs house, Sophieโs heart pounding with triumph.Today, she thought, she would expose Rita for good.But when they arrived, the house was eerily quiet.No Rita.No sound of life.Adrianโs mother frowned."Where is she?" she asked coldly.Sophie immediately dialed Adrianโs number with trembling fingers, trying to hide her panic.He picked up after a few rings, his voice rushed and anxious."Iโm at the hospital,

Sophie stood frozen outside the hospital doors, her hands clenched tightly into fists.She could barely believe what had just happened.After all the years of loyalty, after enduring Adrianโs coldness for so long, his mother โ the one person she thought she could rely on โ had abandoned her without a second thought.Abandoned her... for Rita's babies.Tears of rage and humiliation welled up in her eyes.She had supported the engagement, she had tolerated Adrianโs indifference, and now, she was nothing but a discarded afterthought.Choking on her sobs, she pulled out her phone and called her father."Dad..." she whimpered the moment he picked up."Iโve been humiliated... She left me... for those... those babies!" she cried.Her father tried to calm her, but Sophie wasn't listening.The rage was blinding.She shoved the phone into her purse and stormed off down the street, not caring where she was going, bumping into strangers without apology.She was too angry to notice anything.That

Back at the city, darkness brewed beneath the surface.Mary, still recovering from everything she had been through, knew she couldn't let Linetโs lies continue any longer.After everything Linet had done โ manipulating, lying, scheming โ Mary had found out the ugly truth: Linetโs pregnancy was nothing but a well-played act to trap Francis and the entire family.Mary decided the upcoming family dinner would be the perfect stage to expose Linet publicly โ in front of everyone Linet was trying to fool.She began gathering evidence carefully โ doctor's reports, witness statements, and even a secret recording of Linet bragging to a "friend" about how her "baby bump" was nothing but a prosthetic trick for now.Mary was careful, calculating โ she knew Linet was dangerous when cornered.What Mary didnโt know, however, was that Linet had already sensed the threat.Her instincts were sharp.She knew Mary wasnโt the type to stay quiet, especially after the last tense confrontation they had.Pani

Thrown out like garbage.Humiliated in front of everyone.Linet sat alone in a dim hotel room that night, staring blankly at the city lights. The shame burned through her skin like acid โ but she didnโt cry. No, Linet wasnโt the crying type. She was the kind that bled inside until the blood turned to venom.โThey think they won,โ she muttered darkly to herself.โThey think theyโre so perfect...โA cruel smile curved her lips.Let them laugh now. Let them celebrate.Because when she was done, they would all regret the day they crossed her.Especially Francis.A few days later, Linet sent a calm, polite message to Francis:"Can we talk? Just a final conversation. Iโll even buy you coffee."To her surprise โ or maybe not โ Francis agreed.Guilt gnawed at him; maybe he felt he owed her that much.They met at a discreet little cafรฉ, far from the estateโs judging eyes. Linet looked stunning โ composed, almost saintly in a soft blue dress, no sign of the hellfire brewing inside her.Francis

Francis was spiraling.His father's threat echoed endlessly in his mind.If the world finds outโฆ you're no longer my son.He could feel the walls closing in.Every whisper in the hallway, every glance from the house staff, felt heavier now โ like they knew.Like everyone knew.And LinetโฆShe wasn't staying quiet.Across town, Linet was preparing for war.She sat at her vanity, fixing her flawless makeup with steady hands, while her eyes gleamed with a dangerous light.She picked up her phone and sent a mass message to the elite social circle:"Exclusive family announcement coming soon. You won't want to miss it.Location: Dalton Estate.Time: Dinner party tomorrow.Dress to impress."Then, she called her lawyer."I want all legal documents ready," she said crisply. "If Francis tries to divorce me, I want full rights to use his infertility reports. Make it messy."The lawyer hesitated. "Are you sure you want to go that far?""I was thrown away like trash," Linet hissed. "It's their tur

Inside the hospital room, the atmosphere was light, warm, almost sacred.Adrian sat at Ritaโs side, one baby asleep in his arms, the other tucked against Ritaโs chest.Mr. Drake โ the once cold, stern patriarch โ stood by the window, hands behind his back, occasionally glancing at his grandsons with a rare smile softening his weathered face.Mrs. Drake couldn't stop fussing over the babies, cooing softly and wrapping the twins in tiny blankets she had rushed to buy.Adrian's sister was already taking pictures secretly, unable to contain her excitement at becoming an aunt.It felt surreal โ like a wound that had long been open was finally being stitched closed.The Drakes โ once divided, cold, and controlled by expectations โ were finally feeling like a real family again.They started discussing plans for a small private welcome dinner, just close family only, to properly receive Rita and the twins into the Drake family.Mrs. Drake was excitedly suggesting decorations and baby gifts wh

The house had barely settled back into the joyous atmosphere when the front doors slammed open again.The echo rang through the air as Sophie and James were dragged back into the limelight โ but this time, it was a humiliating, bitter spectacle.Sophieโs carefully curated appearance had already started to unravel.Her red dress that once looked fierce and confident now appeared out of place, like the outfit of someone trying to hold onto their power that was quickly slipping away.Her perfectly painted makeup had begun to smear with the tears she couldnโt hold back.James, on the other hand, tried to mask his panic with a cocky, defiant smile.But his attempt at maintaining control was shattered when the guards escorted them directly into the middle of the hall, the center of all eyes.โThis is your last chance,โ Mr. Drakeโs voice thundered through the room.The gathered family members looked on with curiosity, shock, and disgust.Adrian had never felt more disgusted in his life.His

Back home, after the serene whirlwind of the honeymoon and the quiet strength it had restored in him, Adrian made a decision that would ripple through the Drake family and beyondโhe finally agreed to take over the family business.The announcement was made during a quiet family dinner at the Drakesโ grand estate. The table went still for a moment when Adrian, with Ritaโs hand gently resting over his, looked up at his father and said, โIโm ready to carry on the legacy.โHis mother gasped softly, tears immediately brimming in her eyes. She had prayed, waited, and hoped for this dayโnot for power or pride, but because she wanted her son to know his worth and own it.Mr. Drake, a man not easily moved, leaned back, visibly shaken by joy. โYouโre not doing this for anyone else, right?โ he asked, voice steady but low.Adrian nodded. โIโm doing it because I now know who I am. And Iโm not afraid to lead.โThe room erupted with joy. Champagne was opened, glasses clinked, and hugs passed around.

Indeed, with envy came fascinationโand fascination brought admiration that turned into unexpected blessings. What started as whispered jealousy soon transformed into public celebration of their love stories. The resort staff, charmed by the couplesโ grace and gratitude, nominated them for the "Golden Hearts Getaway Contest"โan exclusive island-wide event recognizing the most inspiring lovebirds.And they won.The news was announced at a special dinner under a massive banyan tree draped in twinkling lights. As the host read their names, Rita and Adrian, along with Lydia and Ethan, stood stunned amid thunderous applause and camera flashes."For showing the island that true love not only exists but glows," the emcee beamed, "we award these couples an extended stay at the honeymoon suite, full spa access, and a private yacht tour of the secret coves."The crowd clapped wildlyโsome with genuine excitement, others masking their envy behind polite smiles.The rewards kept flowing.At breakfa

As the wedding festivities continued to wind down, the excitement of the day lingered in the air. Adrian and Rita, now officially husband and wife, sat together at their table, holding hands and discussing the next chapter of their lives. Their laughter and whispered words were filled with relief, happiness, and the warmth of a love that had stood the test of time and adversities.Rita leaned in, her eyes sparkling. โSo, where do you think we should go?โAdrian smirked, his eyes softening as he thought for a moment. โIโm thinking somewhere quiet, away from the chaos. Somewhere we can really relax, just the two of us. No phones, no camerasโjust peace.โThey turned to Lydia and Ethan, who were seated across from them, both of them grinning ear to ear, still riding the wave of their own engagement. Ethan caught Lydiaโs eye and squeezed her hand before joining in the conversation.โItโs hard to believe itโs finally our turn,โ Lydia said, her voice warm with emotion. โAfter everything weโv

As Linetโs cries faded beyond the estate gates, a hush lingered โ a strange blend of relief, awe, and stunned silence. But amid it all, Rita walked back down the path with the elegance of a queen who had just conquered her fiercest storm.Adrian stood at the altar, watching her with a soft, steady gaze. The way he looked at her โ as if the entire world disappeared and only she remained โ calmed every heartbeat around them.Rita took her place beside him, her hands slipping into his.The priest, having witnessed the chaos and the calm, nodded solemnly. โShall we continue?โAdrian didnโt wait.He took a deep breath, lifting Ritaโs hand to his lips.โRitaโฆ you are the reason I know what peace feels like. When the world doubted, you believed. When enemies schemed, you stood by me. When I lost myself, your love reminded me who I am. I promise to never let you feel alone again.

The grand courtyard of the Drake estate shimmered in white and gold, the soft strains of violin lifting gently through the spring air. Rows upon rows of elegantly dressed guests rose to their feet as the soft chime of the wedding march began to play.And then, she appeared.Rita.Her dress โ custom silk organza with hand-sewn beads that shimmered like morning dew โ flowed behind her like a cascade of light. A delicate lace veil framed her glowing face, and in her arms was a bouquet of white peonies, tied with a ribbon that matched Adrianโs pocket square.The crowd gasped softly โ not just at her beauty, but at the serenity and grace that clung to her like a second skin.Rita held her fatherโs arm, her other hand gently curled around her bouquet. Her heart raced with every step. Not out of fear โ she hadnโt sensed the danger โ but from the overwhelming joy of the moment. Her eyes were fixed ahead.Adrian stood waiting.He looked regal, composed, but only those who knew him well could s

Not rage. Not sorrow.Justโฆ finality.Behind him, Rita stood โ not in fear, but with quiet, fierce resolve. Her hand rested protectively on her belly, the true twins safe and far from the storm."You really did it," Adrian said quietly. "You broke into my home. You tried to harm my children."Sophie staggered back. "They were never supposed to exist!" she shrieked. โWe were supposed to get married!

The grand Drake estate was abuzz with activity. Silk-covered chairs, imported flowers, endless trays of pastries, and fabric swatches โ everything screamed perfection. But Adrian wasnโt smiling. Beneath the elegance and sparkle, a quiet storm brewed.He paced the edge of their private garden, his eyes scanning the perimeter.โSecurity doubled at every corner?โ he asked his assistant sharply.โYes, sir. Discreet, but thorough.โRita stepped onto the patio, adjusting the veil on her trial dress. She looked breathtaking โ and exhausted.โYou havenโt slept,โ she said, crossing her arms.โNeither have you,โ Adrian replied gently. โWeโre close.

Lydia sat in the cozy corner of a chic cafรฉ, a handwritten list folded beside her coffee cup. She glanced at it for the tenth time, then sighed, half-excited, half-nervous.It had taken her weeks to narrow it down โ not because she lacked friends, but because this moment felt... sacred. These women would stand beside her at the altar.
