No Longer His Ugly Wife CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
Lucy’s POV“No, no, no, no...” My feet carried me backwards as if in a natural repulsion to him. This couldn’t be happening. This wasn’t happening!“Ms. Jones?” I heard the real-estate agent calling my name but it was merely an echo as I was just too overwhelmed to even absorb what was being said.“I’m not doing this!” I blurted before anyone could say anything else.“What?” Mr. James incredulously exclaimed. He was bewildered by my outburst and understandably so. “I’m not selling to him. I refuse.” I said, my gaze steadily on Alaric’s and all the while he was unflinching. Positively unbothered by my words.“Ms. Jones,” Mr. James started cautiously. “I urge you to reconsider-” he started when Alaric lifted his hand to stop him from talking, his gaze never leaving me as he silently demanded Mr. James’ silence.Immediately he stopped talking. Alaric’s powerful aura demanded such actions. “Is that right?” Alaric sneered. “And how else are you expecting that you’ll get 1.5 million do
No Longer His Ugly Wife CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
Lucy’s POVWhile we waited for Blair to come by and save the day, I stayed by Noah’s side. And it was completely insufferable to hear how adamant he was not to throw Blair under the bus.“Noah, are you sure you’re the one who made the sandwich?” I asked.He’d been harping on and on for the last ten minutes about how he’d been the one who made his sandwich. And while Mrs. Lopez was naive and foolish enough to accept his truth, I didn’t. “I’m not lying!” he screamed. “I made the sandwich! It wasn’t Blair or daddy! I made the peanut butter and jelly sandwich because I wanted to see if my allergies were gone.” He said through babbling tears.It was so utterly disappointing and sad to see how much Blair had manipulated and warped his mind so much that he refused to even tell the truth to me.“What kind of mother are you? Hassling the boy like this?” persisted Mrs. Lopez as she sat on the opposite side of Noah. “If the boy says that he made the sandwiches then he made the sandwiches.”I di

Alaric’s POV“Yes, Mr. Simmons, I look forward to working with you as well,” I said over the phone. I was in a good mood, hearing the trepidation in Lucy’s voice when last I spoke to her. My plans to exact payback were already well on its path.Ray entered on the tail end of my last conference call. ‘Come in,’ I mouthed before officially ending the conversation with the Simmons Corp.“How did the meeting go?” Ray asked.“That’s good,” I dismissed his inquiry. We both knew the answer. His question was just a prelude to the real conversation. “What do you have for me?” Ray had a folder in his hand and I could tell by the look on his face that this was going to be good.He dropped it on my desk. “Just as we thought, she’s financially barren,” he said. “But, that’s not even the worst part.”“Well? Don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me what you found.” “Lucy’s husband is as much a bum as we thought,” he sneered. “A cold bastard is more like it.”I pushed forward, my hands crossed on my des

Lucy’s POVAt home, my mind was still a storm of erratic emotions. Between dealing with a callous, cold-hearted Alaric, and the back end of a divorce, it was difficult to navigate the overwhelming feelings that I was experiencing. The chief of them being anxiety.It was afternoon, and I had decided to make myself a cup of tea when my peripheral caught something from the corner of my eye. I paused when I saw them, a pulsating nausea in my stomach.Blair…Noah…and Tom.I watched as the three strolled out of Blair’s house together, giggling happily about something as they got into her car and drove off somewhere.Seeing it gave rise to a sharp pain in the pit of my stomach as, for a moment-just a moment, I sat there thinking that that should have been me. That Blair had completely stolen my life. That foolish thought-as aforementioned, lasted only a moment though as I was harshly reminded of the fact that my previous life had been nothing but an illusion. A sham concocted by money-grubbi

Lucy’s POV“So, let me get this straight,” Amanda started. “You’ve come here to buy my restaurant?” Ms. George sneered, “Ah, so you actually do know what the word ‘acquire’ means.”Amanda and I were so taken aback by her rude behavior.“Did she really just try to insult me in my own restaurant?” she murmured under breath to me. I could tell she was at her wit’s end.“In any case,” continued Tina, “As I said, you name a reasonable price and Mr. Kingsley will see to it that you’re paid in full.” “My restaurant isn’t for sale.” Amanda was quick to stand her ground.“Everything has a price, Ms. Coleman,” Tina George retorted. “Even your little place here.”When Amanda didn’t respond to her suggestion, the hotel manager took a step closer, closing the distance between us. “I don’t understand the problem here. The man is offering you a lump sum, and in exchange you and your staff will exclusively work under the name of the Grand Starry Hotel. That, in itself, is an honor.”Amanda glanced
No Longer His Ugly Wife CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
Alaric’s POV“Are you sure that pushing back all your calls for the day is a good idea?” Ray asked me as I sat at my desk, my eyes skimming over documents while my mind lingered elsewhere. “It’s a few hours,” I said. “Won’t hurt anyone.” “You have three important conference calls and an in-person meeting with the Simmons Corporation an hour after.”“What’s your point, Ray?” I impatiently retorted.He huffed. “Alaric, you’ve been in talks with the Simmons Corps for months now. They’re the third largest conglomerate in the U.S. You know this is a very lucrative opportunity. And you’re pushing it aside for some news from Tina George about a pastry shop?” Ray didn’t understand. He couldn’t begin to. And I didn’t possess the patience to explain. So, I settled with a simple response.. “Yes.”“Yes?” He repeated with bewilderment.“You heard me, Ray,” I replied haphazardly, as I flipped through another document. “Simmons will wait for as long as I need them to and so will every other cong
