ANABEL’S POV

I remained silent on the line for a few seconds. My brows drew together so tightly that a sharp ache settled right between my eyes. I couldn’t see my own face right now, but if there had been a mirror in front of me, I was certain the confusion written across it would have been impossible to miss.

I sat frozen on the edge of the bed, the laptop still heavy on my knees, trying to make sense of the words that had just come through the phone. Honestly, I didn’t understand a single thi

    DMITRI’S POVClaire had been against the whole plan from the very beginning. Understandably, she was worried that even if we managed to hide the outing, my mother would somehow find out. She always seemed to have that instinct, an uncanny ability to sense when something wasn’t quite right in the house. Claire had worked alongside her long enough to know better than most how dangerous that instinct could be for anyone caught helping me sneak around behind her back.I noticed the doubt creeping into John’s expression too. The longer the conversation went on, the more his confidence in the compromise he had suggested began to fade. Without giving much thought to how manipulative I was being, I did what any spoiled, desperate teenager might have done. I leaned into the emotional angle. I let my voice crack just enough and made sure my disappointment was impossible to miss, all to push him into fully agreeing to the plan he had already half-accepted.John and I had grown genuinely close ov

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 052

    DMITRI’S POVRemembering something like that hurt every single time, without fail, no matter how many years had passed. It felt like a small, deliberate punishment handed down from somewhere far above me, a quiet penance for the harm I’d caused that day, one I was never meant to fully put down.I knew what my closest friends would say if they were sitting here with me right now because they’d said it so many times over the years that I could recite it word for word. It wasn’t my fault. I was just a kid. There was no way I could have known something like that would happen. I’d honestly tried, more than once, to believe every word of comfort the people who knew the full story had offered me. But something deep inside me, some stubborn, unshakable part of my conscience, refused to accept it. No matter how many kind words people used to soften the truth, I always believed I was the one who had caused it.If I had just listened to my mother’s warning that night, none of this would have hap

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 051

    DMITRI’S POVI sat down in my office chair, staring at the television mounted on the wall across from my desk. It wasn’t even switched on. The screen was dark and reflective, but I stared at it anyway, the same way someone stares into nothing when their mind is too occupied to focus on anything at all. My thoughts kept circling back to what had happened just a few minutes earlier down in the lobby.There she was. Two months ago, I would have said the chances of suddenly running into her were practically impossible. The coincidence felt almost too much to accept at face value, too neat, too improbable given the sheer size of this city and the number of people who passed through this building every single day. And yet, somehow, it had happened. A few weeks ago, our paths crossed that night, and now here we were again.Anabel Wilson, huh.I let the name settle in my mind for a long moment, turning it over the way I might examine an unfamiliar document before signing off on it. Except th

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 050

    DMITRI’S POVThat last line amused me instantly. Nothing special here?Was that really what she thought about Ambercaz? On her very first day walking through these doors, standing in a lobby I’d personally designed down to the last detail, in a company I’d spent the better part of a decade building from a small business into one of the biggest names in the country?“So, if that’s the case, how did you get a job here?” I asked, deciding to play along and act as though I wasn’t the one who’d handed her the opportunity in the first place. There was something oddly satisfying about watching her explain a decision I already knew the full story behind, filling in gaps she didn’t realize I could answer myself in a single sentence.I didn’t particularly want us standing in the middle of the lobby talking like this for much longer, even though I technically owned the building and could stand wherever I pleased for as long as I liked. It still felt unprofessional, especially with the number of

    DMITRI’S POV"Wilson,” I said, recognizing the last name almost immediately. It wasn’t a name I kept at the front of my mind all the time, not the way I did with certain business rivals or political contacts, but it was still well known enough throughout the city that hearing it out loud made something click into place.A few years ago, I remembered meeting Arthur Wilson at a business proposal dinner, one of those long, tedious evenings filled with handshakes and forced small talk. I recalled being genuinely surprised that a man his age was still carrying the full weight of an entire company on his shoulders, still sharp enough in negotiations to make younger executives visibly nervous across the table. When I looked further into his background afterward, the way I tended to do with anyone whose company might eventually intersect with mine, I remembered reading that he had two or three grandsons, one of whom was apparently being groomed to eventually take over the family business. I d

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 048

    ANABEL’S POV “It’s you,” I said slowly, straightening to my feet. My face was still caught somewhere between disbelief and shock, and my heart was doing something strange and fast in my chest that I refused to examine too closely. How was he here? I mean, it wasn’t impossible for him to be here. Plenty of important people probably passed through a building like this every single day, especially a headquarters as massive and well-known as this one. But this was the absolute last place I’d expected to run into him. I’d spent days searching for any trace of him, scrolling through countless photos online late at night when I couldn’t sleep, checking every corner of the internet I could think of, typing his name into every search bar I had access to, growing more frustrated with each dead end. I’d come up with absolutely nothing. Not a single lead. And now, out of nowhere, he had simply materialized in front of me, today of all days, in the lobby of the very building where I’d just lan

    ANABEL'S POV I took a small breath, steadying my emotions and finally pushing away all the tears I'd been crying for the past few minutes. Every now and then, I could still feel the heaviness lingering in my chest, but I couldn't keep breaking down forever. There was no room for tears anymore. Y
