Taylor collapsed to the floor, burying her face in her hands.

  • Storm Warning: My Wife Runs to Him   Chapter 10

    Brandon's POVSix months later, the storm completely subsided, and time eventually erased all traces of the past.Fortunately, the seizure hadn't left any lasting neurological damage on Timmy. And under my and my parents' meticulous care, he was now a chubby and adorable little baby who could now babble and smile at me all the time.I decided to reapply to further my studies abroad, a dream that I'd once abandoned for the sake of staying close to Taylor. Mom and Dad then told me that they would relocate to Ruisse with me while I studied so they could help take care of Timmy.It was a rare bright and sunny day on the day of our departure. The sun shone in through the glass panels in the airport, warming us up.I pushed the stroller along, chatting and laughing with Mom and Dad as we walked toward the VIP security checkpoint.When I casually looked around, I suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure standing behind the pillar in the airport.It was Taylor.It had only been six m

    Brandon's POVTaylor had built her business from scratch. However, it was entirely thanks to my mother's connections and financial guarantees that she was even able to stand firm in such a competitive industry.I never brought up the part about my family's help to Taylor, just to protect her ego. But when I went home with Timmy in my arms and told my parents about everything that happened, including Timmy's near-death, Mom was outraged."A heartless woman like her doesn't deserve to use our resources at all!"She made a few phone calls after that. And, less than a week later, the three largest core suppliers for Taylor's company simultaneously refused to renew their supply contracts for the next six months, citing strategic adjustments.Then, the three-million-dollar working capital loan that Taylor had just successfully negotiated with the bank to fill the company's funding gap was rescinded and rejected in the final review stage. They simply stated that they didn't agree with th

I didn't give her a chance to continue pleading with me for mercy and said, "If you don't sign this in three days, I will take the CCTV footage and hospital records proving that you abandoned your critically ill baby to meet your brother-in-law during the hurricane and file for divorce in court."When that happens, and things go out of hand, we'll see how your company's biggest clients think of their supposedly loyal and devoted CEO. You should probably think twice."Taylor knew my character and that I meant serious business. And so, for the sake of what was left of her dignity and to save her precarious reputation at the company, she signed the divorce papers with trembling hands.We would be complete strangers once we got the divorce finalized in court.…I moved back to my parents' with Timmy after everything. However, things only started going south on Taylor's end.Having lost my support and see

  • Storm Warning: My Wife Runs to Him   Chapter 7

    Brandon's POVTaylor stared at the divorce papers for a long time, her face turning pale. She shook her head fervently and pushed the papers back to my feet."No! I won't sign it! I will never sign the papers until my death, Brandon!"She looked up at me with bloodshot eyes and made a final attempt at appealing to me."I had also been a victim over the past five years, honey! George had been manipulating me with Tiffany's words. He was the one morally blackmailing me the whole time!"I really thought that he was in great trouble! That's the only reason why… I swear that I've always been loyal to you and Timmy! It's just that I was too sentimental and wanted to take care of them, especially Ryan, on Tiffany's behalf. I did nothing wrong!""Sentimental?"I couldn't stop myself from chuckling coldly at that as though I'd just heard a funny joke.I then crouched down and stared her in the eyes. "Stop blaming someone else for your own faults, Taylor Cochran."Yes, George is a disgu

  • Storm Warning: My Wife Runs to Him   Chapter 6

    Brandon's POVI sat quietly on the bench outside the ICU of the Children's General Hospital. Nobody could even tell the original color of the shirt I was wearing anymore. It was stained with mud, rainwater, and blood from Timmy's lips when he bit on them during his convulsions.My leg wound had torn open again from my running in the rain. The bandages had loosened and had mostly unwound from my leg. The wound was festering with yellow pus, but I didn't feel any pain.The elevator doors at the end of the hospital hallway opened with a ding, and Taylor rushed out like a madwoman, stumbling and tripping over her own feet. She eventually slipped and fell on the wet floor before hurriedly scrambling over to me."Brandon! Honey!"She dropped to her knees before me on the hard tiles, her voice trembling uncontrollably as she asked, "Where's Timmy? Where's our son? How is he? What did the doctor say?"I didn't even bother looking at her. I didn't shout at her nor cry or wail in her fac

  • Storm Warning: My Wife Runs to Him   Chapter 5

    Third-Person POVTaylor's hands trembled as she opened the slightly ajar door with a sudden, powerful kick.The laughter and chatter in the apartment died down at once.George's friends were the first to react. They squeaked in fright and dropped their steak knives onto the floor.Meanwhile, George shuddered hard the moment he saw Taylor. The glass of red wine in his hand fell to the floor, shattering and spilling the dark red liquid everywhere."T-Tay?"He shot to his feet at once, his face pale as a ghost. He stammered, "I-I didn't think you'd come over so quickly! I can explain! I was only just—""You were only just about to be electrocuted to death earlier, weren't you?"She stormed into the living room, soaked to the skin. Raindrops slid down her hair and dripped down from her chin, forming a little puddle between her feet.She glared at George, her eyes red and bloodshot, making her look like she was ready to tear him apart with her bare hands."All you had to do was re
