THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT CONGRATULATIONS ON RUINING THE FAMILY
AdrianI hated the fact that I was tied down to a wheelchair in my own house with Grandpa Hartley while Nana and my wife were out there doing God-knows-what.“It looks like it's Cedric's turn to fall,” Grandpa Hartley drawls out slowly, his eyes fixed on the TV screen as his voice pulls me out of my thoughts.“What did you say?”He nudged his head at the TV. Following his gaze, I listened closely to the news about Cedric and the illegal methods he used to strike deals with his clients.“Well, what do you know, Gramps? Nothing ever stays a secret forever.”For the first time all day, Grandpa Hartley's gaze tore away from the screen.“If you knew the truth about Benjamin, why didn't you say anything earlier?” he asked.Because it wasn't my place to speak. Honestly, at that time, I thought doing so would make the family suspicious if Chase, who didn't have any backbone to stand up for himself, suddenly changed.The Hartley family had enough resources to carry out a private investigation.
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT MANDATORY DEATH SENTENCE
Ethan“Breaking news: A recently released article by popular reporter Reed disclosed that Cedric Denver has been running a club downtown where he makes young girls sleep with influential men in the industry as a bargain to strike company deals,” a female reporter announced on the TV. “The police have rushed down to the club and rescued the girls who were found at the scene. As for the businessmen, they were taken into custody, but the man, Cedric Denver, was nowhere to be found—”I reached out for the TV remote and turned it off.The scowl on Nathan's face deepened. “Hey, I was watching that.”I snorted derisively. “Why? So it can be continuously rubbed in our faces how that psycho you cut a deal with ditched us?”Nathan rolled his eyes dramatically. “Cedric didn't do that. He's just laying low for a while because the cops are on his tail. Give the man a break, Ethan. His company is on the verge of going under; you should know how that feels more than anyone else.”Crossing over to th
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT NANA IN ACTION II
TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDEScarlett“This is the main reason why Hale has been assisting Cedric for years,” Nana said, holding out a photo towards me.In the picture was a disturbing image of a girl being intimate with a man who looked seven years older than her.I narrowed my gaze. “Isn't this Tom Grazier? The chairman of Grazier Automobile?”Nana nodded. “It is. And that girl you're seeing right there is Hale's first daughter.”The photo slipped out of my hands. “Is this what I think it is?”“Cedric owns a private club just like Adrian. The only difference is that Cedric's is a prostitution club. Here, he brings girls to sleep with men in power as a means of cutting deals with them.”“Men like Tom Grazier.”“This was the method Cedric used in making Denver Corp one of the top three biggest companies in the country.”This man was truly rotten to the core and needed to be stopped by all means necessary.“Did none of the girls ever speak up?” I asked, staring at more of the similar photo
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT NANA IN ACTION 1: YOU'RE FAMILY, TOO
ScarlettAfter three days, Adrian was discharged from the hospital in a wheelchair. Only then did we inform Nana about Adrian's condition. Immediately, she visited our home with Grandpa Hartley, who had been slowly recovering from his stroke, although he was still receiving speech therapy.“Adrian, who did this to you?” Nana asked in tears, dumping the grocery bags in her hands onto the table without a care as she stared at her beloved son stuck in a wheelchair.“I got involved in a little accident, Grandma, but I'm fine now.”“And you didn't tell me about this until now?” Her gaze drifted off to me. “Even you, too, Scarlett?”My throat bobbed. “I...”“Don't blame Scarlett, Grandma,” Adrian cut in. “I was the one who told her not to inform you. There was so much going on with Grandpa that I didn't want to startle you. I'm sorry.”Crossing the room, Nana wrapped her arms around me. “I'm sorry for taking out my anger on you.”Pulling back, she added, “I heard your family's house got bur
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT DON'T FIGHT BUT EMBRACE IT
ChaseAfter my conversation with Scarlett, I approached Ryker with her words recurring in my head. If I got involved with Ryker, that would make things messy for my family, wouldn't it?I mean, he's the nephew of my sister's fiancée. Getting involved with Ryker would be a full-blown family mess, which was why I had lied to him that nothing had happened between us that night.“You didn't have to wait for me,” I said.“I brought you here, so I have to take you back.”A soft chuckle escaped my lips as we walked down the hallway toward the hospital exit. “Thank you. But I think you shouldn't get involved in this situation any more deeply than you already have. My father must already be furious with you after doing the live stream thing.”The scowl on Ryker's face deepened. “I don't give a shit about Cedric Denver. In retrospect, you're the only one who is scared of that man. But you stood your ground against him that night. That was pretty impressive.”“Impressively dumb, you mean?”Ryker
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT LOCKING THEM UP FOR GOOD
ScarlettOutside the waiting room, I chewed nervously on my nails while waiting for the doctor to step out of the operation room. My head snapped up at the sound of the doorknob turning.Rising to my feet, I approached the doctor. “How is he?““Fortunately, we were able to stop the bleeding and get your husband's blood pressure back to normal, but he's yet to wake up,” the doctor revealed. “The nurses will be moving him now to his room.”“Thank you, doctor.”He patted my shoulders. “You really were strong today agreeing with your husband to go ahead with the shard removal procedure. It might take a while, but his legs will get better. Hang in there.”I nodded. “I will.”The door to the OR room opened. Four nurses on either side of Adrian's stretcher moved him into a new room. I followed quietly behind them.When we reached the room, I pulled the chair by the door closer to Adrian's bed and sat, watching him for any sign of movement, but he made none.Reaching for his hand, I gently sq
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT I'LL INHERIT EVERYTHING ALONE
ScarlettThe name slapped me across the face.Aurelia Storm had been Durian's attending physician.Ethan had held my hand while introducing her, telling me her brilliance was why he hired her for his company.He wasn't praising a doctor... he was showing off his mistress in front of my face.“Now t
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT YOU'RE NOT YOUR HUSBAND'S LEGAL WIFE
Scarlett“You're not your husband's legal wife, Mrs. Scarlett,” the doctor informs me. “So we cannot authorize the use of Mr. Ethan’s medical insurance for your treatment.”My heart plummeted. What?“Doctor, there seems to be a mis–” I broke off, coughing into the blood-stained handkerchief clutche

ScarlettAfter finalizing the inheritance, I stepped out of the villa with Mr. Hale walking beside me.“We'll arrange the blind date as soon as possible,” he said. “Does tomorrow evening work for you?”“Perfectly.”“The location will be sent to you shortly.”As Mr. Hale’s car pulled away, I turned
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT A BLIND DATE
ScarlettWe immediately headed out. Durian stood in the middle of the room, his board game overturned at his feet, pieces scattered everywhere. The TV remote lay broken on the floor nearby. Aurelia stood beside him.“What happened here?” I asked, my voice calm, which seemed to agitate them more.Au
