Adrian

Twenty minutes had passed, and Scarlett still hadn't come out of Mills' mansion. Climbing out of the car's backseat, I crossed the porch, heading towards the front door when a maid stepped into my path, hands trembling at his side.

“M-Mr. Hartley, you can't—“

I silenced him with a glare. “Move out of my way.“

“Y-Yes, sir,“ he stuttered, flattening himself against the doorframe.

Barging through the front door, I spotted Cassandra curled up on the living room couch, sipping a cup of coffe

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   LOST MORE THAN ONE

    Adrian“What are you all standing there for? Somebody should get in there and bring out my wife!“ I yelled at the cop beside me on the shore, who immediately sent his rescue team into action.As soon as Scarlett mentioned the necklace I had once gifted her, I got the message and contacted Pete to see if he could pinpoint its location.As expected, Scarlett had inserted a tracking device inside it. Once Pete acquired her location at sea, I rounded up the cops. There, we waited for Aurelia's ship to come into view and apprehend her, but it was foolish of me to assume everything would go according to plan without a hitch.“Right this way, young lady,“ one of the cops said, cuffing Aurelia's arms as soon as she landed on shore.Even though she had lost, she had an amusing smirk on her face, and her gaze never left mine. “Your wife is five feet underwater, Hartley. Even if they find her, it will be too late.“My fist tightened against the wheelchair armrest. “Take her away, officers.“My f

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   MY BIGGEST REGRET

    ScarlettI had let myself get caught by Aurelia's men in our plan so that I could put an end to this on my terms, but maybe that wasn't one of my brightest ideas. This officially makes it to the top of my list of biggest regrets.One of Aurelia's men threw another punch at my face, snapping my head sideways with a loud crack.“Enough, Bethro. Don't kill her just yet. That would just take away all the fun.” Aurelia, who had been idly watching in silence while her men beat me to a pulp, suddenly spoke up.My gaze swept around my surroundings. We were in an unfamiliar place outside by a ship dock. On my knees, the rope holding my hands tightly bound behind my back pierced deeply into my skin.Slowly approaching me, Aurelia lifted my chin with one finger, placing her face in my line of sight. “How does it feel to have the tables turned? You're not so powerful in this state, are you?”I didn't respond.Aurelia smacked me hard across the cheek. “Answer me when I talk to you.”“Don't do this

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   SHE'S GONE

    Adrian “T-That's a lie,” Cassandra stuttered. “You can't make an accusation like that without evidence!” “And who said I didn't have evidence?” Evelyn countered. “All this while I've been in the States, I had been investigating the case of my miscarriage. At first, I believed it had just happened naturally, but it turns out the truth was way uglier than that.” Pulling out her phone, she hit the play button on a recording where Cassandra's voice filled the room. “All you have to do is consistently add two drops into your madam's food,” Cassandra said. “And you're sure this wouldn't harm my madam?” her maid asked. “Trust me, it won't.” Then the recording stopped. “That doesn't prove anything,” Cassandra argued. A disbelieving scoff slipped from Evelyn's lips as she pulled out a photo and slammed it against her desk. “Are you still going to deny it despite this?” Cassandra's expression turned horrified as her gaze landed on the picture, which captured her giving Evely

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   ALL HELLS BREAK LOOSE

    AdrianI knew it was crazy locking Scarlett up in the bedroom, but she left me with no choice. After stationing two hefty men in front of the bedroom, I used my resources to get Pete's number and called him.“So, that's the plan,” I said after briefing him about the needful regarding Chase. “Any questions?” “Just one: why are you the one contacting me about this and not Scarlett?” I drew in a sharp breath. “I told you she's busy at the moment. Besides, she's already aware of our conversation.” “Oh, really? Then you won't mind if I call her to confirm this, right?” My nostrils flared. “Listen to me, okay? What I'm doing is for everyone's benefit. Why would you need to run this through my wife before doing what I tell you to?” “Because my loyalty and assistance are sworn to Scarlett.” I rubbed my forehead. This guy was really difficult to get across to.“My wife has a memory gap,” I admitted. “And coupled with this, there's a released psycho who is on the loose to make her pay. I'

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   YOU WON'T BE GETTING OUT

    ScarlettThe courthouse doors swung shut behind us, but Chase's words lingered in my head anyway. Adrian wheeled quietly beside me, but I could feel his gaze.Neither of us spoke until we were in the car. Kicking the car engine to a start, Adrian broke the silence.“A penny for your thoughts?” he asked.A penny wouldn't even be able to cover it.I drummed my fingers against the wheel, buying myself another second of silence. “I didn't know how to tell you this, but earlier at the court, Chase told me where Cedric could possibly be hiding.”A flicker of surprise flashed across Adrian's face. “Then let's go get him. What are we waiting for?”“We can't,” I said, final.His brows creased. “Why not?”“Because...” I hesitated. “I think it might be a trap.”No matter how hard I thought about it, Cedric must have expected Chase to tell us where he would be hiding. Therefore, something was bound to be waiting for us in that place. Either Cedric in person or...“Do you think Chase would betray

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   GO GET HIM!

    Scarlett “Do you have any idea what this is?” I asked, shoving my phone screen in the judge's face. After getting Aurelia's message, I drove off to the court to see the judge who had ruled Aurelia's case with Adrian, barging into his office without a care in the world. The judge's gaze dropped low to my phone screen with an unbothered look on his face. “That's a message.” “A threatening message made by the criminal you released,” I corrected. “I don't know if you were present in court when we ruled on Miss Aurelia's case, but she was granted bail,” he said, shoving a bill in my face. “And as you can see, that bail was paid today, so there's no reason why the offender shouldn't be released according to the law. Her only offense was feeding expired drugs to a child, and according to my knowledge, Miss Aurelia's license has been revoked to avoid history repeating itself, so scram.” “Where is Aurelia now, Judge Sam?” Adrian asked.The scowl on Sam's face deepened. “How the hell am I

    Scarlett“Mrs. Scarlett, I've reviewed the documents,” Lawyer Leonard said over the phone. “If you're certain you want to proceed with the inheritance agreement, we can finalize everything today.”“I’m certain,” I replied, staring at my reflection in the vanity mirror. I looked younger, healthier,
