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
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT I HOPE YOU MISSED ME
ScarlettAs Nana drove back home, my gaze drifted off towards her.“Are you trying to bore a hole in my head, child?” she asked, eyes fixed on the road.“I was just wondering how you managed to fix everything so quickly.”Nana chuckled. “That's the Hartley power. If you're thankful, hurry up and give me my great-grandchild.”My insides churned at those words, suddenly remembering the pregnancy test result I had taken a few weeks back.Nana cleared her throat, pulling me out from my thoughts. “You look lost in thought over there. Is there something on your mind?”“No, there isn't,” I lied, turning up the volume of the radio.Nana turned the radio off completely. “Don't shut me out, Scarlett. Tell me what's on your mind, child!”I exhaled deeply. “You know how my fertility test from the hospital came out fine?”“Go on.”“What if despite that I'm still not able to…” My words choked up.Grandma Hartley pulled the car over to the side of the road. “If something like that happens, then it's
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.

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

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

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,
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
