Chapter Ten: Kendra

last update Last Updated: 2025-12-10 01:23:29

For the past day, I had been thinking about what happened with Declan, and to say that I had been restless ever since then would be an understatement.

I was wrong.

He had been trying to be nice to me, and I did my best to shut him out, but as I thought about it, I realized that if I continued acting like that, this would harm both of us.

Maybe I needed to let go a little. We were going to spend three years with each other, so it didn’t make sense to live them in constant bickering.

I turned off my laptop and took a deep breath. I needed to talk to him and try to explain my feelings. I couldn’t say that I hated Declan because he hadn’t done anything to deserve my hate; however, I hated the circumstances of how we met.

I might have actually liked Declan a lot if we had met in a different way. I found myself wondering one night how it would have been if I had met him at a café or a party and he had asked me out on a date.

But life didn’t always give us what we wanted, and I learned to ma

  • The Billionaire’s Devious Wife   Chapter Nineteen: Kendra

    My heart threatened to burst. No one had cared about me like that since Mom’s death. The Davenports hadn’t left me on my own ever since I had the surgery.When I woke up at the hospital yesterday, I found Declan, Lana, and Meryl with me in the room. Their presence took away all the fear I had in my heart.Mom died in the OR when I was young, and since then, I absolutely despised hospitals. I knew that she was terminally ill, and the surgery wasn’t the main cause of her death, but that didn’t stop me from hating hospitals.“I promise I’m fine. You don’t need to mess up your schedule for me,” I tried to convince Meryl not to stay to take care of me, but she wasn’t having it.“I’m not messing up anything. Stop worrying, and just rest,” she said as Declan helped me lie down on the couch.“Can you just focus on recovery and nothing else? Nobody is bothered by taking care of you,” Declan told me, looking me in the eyes.My heart raced whenever he looked at me like that. It was hard not to f

  • The Billionaire’s Devious Wife   Chapter Eighteen: Declan

    I headed to the kitchen when I woke up, thinking I’d find Kendra there, but to my surprise, I didn’t. Ten days ago, we agreed to be friends, and while I didn’t know how to be friends with someone I wanted to kiss whenever I saw them, the deal was a good start.I made my way back upstairs and headed to her room to see if she was awake. She told me last night she was going to wake up early because she had a meeting. Maybe she slept in.I knocked on her door and waited for her to give me the cue to walk in, but she didn’t. I opened the door slowly and found her curled up on the bed.I approached her and frowned when I saw her clutching her stomach tightly. What was wrong with her?“Kendra,” I said in a soft voice, not wanting to startle her if she was asleep. Was she a light sleeper?“Yes.” The sound she made was more of a whimper.“What’s going on, flame?” I sat down beside her, suddenly worried. She was okay yesterday. What happened?“My stomach hurts a lot.” She sniffed, hugging her s

    A knock on my door made me zone out of the state of concentration I had been in for a while.“Come in,” I said, getting up from the stool.I was surprised when Declan walked into my room because I wasn’t used to him coming here. For the past two weeks, we had been on good terms. We didn’t talk much; however, when we did, it was done in a friendly manner. I even found myself enjoying our small conversations.“Hi,” he said with a small smile. He was dressed casually in some sweatpants and a dark blue T-shirt.“Hey.” I smiled back, heading towards him.“Have you been drawing?” he wondered, and I nodded. It had been a while since Lana mentioned me on her account, and I already had three paintings that I needed to finish within this month—not including the one I promised Ares.“I want to show you something,” he said, and I wasn’t sure if I was imagining things, but Declan looked slightly nervous.Why would he?“Sure,” I said.“Come with me.” I expected him to show me something on his pho

    I was in the living room, waiting for Kendra to finish getting ready. She told me her dress was emerald green, and I ended up buying a new tie that matched its color because I didn’t have a matching tie.I heard the sound of her heels against the floor, so I stood up. When I turned around, my heart skipped a beat. She didn’t just look beautiful—she was an absolute goddess.Her dress perfectly hugged her body, making me wonder if it was possible to look this good. The beaded bodice and the sleek satin skirt made her glow. The dress was long, reaching the floor, and it had a slit that gave the design a sensual touch.“You’ve been staring for a little while. Should I be worried?” I liked the playfulness in her voice.“You look stunning,” I said, unable to prevent myself from smiling as she walked toward me.“You look good, too.” Her rose-tinted cheeks got pinker. “Your tie is exactly the same shade as my dress.” Her hazel eyes were bright as she looked at me.“It took me a while to find

    He kissed her.He kissed her against her will.That reason was enough to make me break every finger on his hands. But Kendra wasn’t just trying to fight one person. There were two of them—two perpetrators that deserved to rot in hell. I saw the way she was dragged by her hair by one of them, and I lost it. Nobody touched my wife and survived my wrath. She begged them not to take her necklace, and they didn’t give a damn about her. I made sure to make them pay for all the mistakes they made.It took the private detective I hired a couple of days to track them down, and I was happy that I had the necklace.Upon learning that my men caught them, I didn’t waste time and headed straight to the warehouse where they were held. I could only watch the footage once, and it was enough to make me ready to rip them into pieces.Had it not been for my men, I would have killed them.When Kendra told me about what happened, I was furious, but I desperately tried not to lose it in front of her. I hat

    “Trouble in paradise?” Tia asked as we both sat down. She texted me earlier asking if I wanted to grab lunch with her, and I agreed, desperately in need of seeing a familiar face.I had just finished my meeting with the new client, and I was exhausted. The meeting wasn’t the reason behind my exhaustion, though—my life was.“I wouldn’t call it paradise. It’s more like hell,” I clarified as I rubbed my forehead. I wanted to fall asleep and wake up one day, only to find that those three years had passed.“What happened?” my best friend asked after a waitress came to get our order. I told her everything that had been going on and how neither of us knew how to deal with the other.“I wish there was something I could do to help you out.” Tia sighed heavily. I also had the same wish, but all I could do was wait for the three years to be over.“My life has turned into a nightmare, and nobody can save me from my atrocious destiny,” I muttered.“I’m sure it’s going to get better. Maybe you two a
