I had been in the studio for quite a while, working on a new painting, but this one wasn’t for sale, and I wasn’t going to post it on my normal accounts.

Ever since I was a senior, I started that anonymous account on social media and posted paintings I worked on without mentioning that I was the one who made them. After the first year, the account took off, and I sold numerous paintings for five figures.

I didn’t tell anybody anything about that account because I knew that if my family found ou

  • The Billionaire’s Devious Wife   Chapter One Hundred and Thirty: Kendra

    Declan had always been known for keeping his promises, and today, he was fulfilling the only promise he hadn’t fulfilled yet. Today was our wedding. The wedding he promised to give me before he was diagnosed with the tumor that took so much from us.He told me he’d give me a wedding that the entire world would talk about for months. My husband wasn’t bluffing because he truly meant every word he said. Although I told him I didn’t care about any of that, and having him and Aliana was better than a thousand weddings, he wasn’t having it.He had booked the biggest vineyard in the city since my dream wedding had always been a vineyard wedding. My dress was a dream that came true. It was nothing like the ones I wore at my two previous weddings.This one was customized for me, and there wasn’t another one like it in the entire world. It was so feminine and graceful, and I was in love with every single detail about it. It had an A-line silhouette—exactly how I imagined it. It was fitted at t

    “Declan, don’t freak out, okay?” I looked at my wife in confusion, not understanding why she’d tell me something like that. We were about to get into bed, and she had just walked out of the bathroom.“What’s going on?” I tried to maintain a neutral tone.“My water broke.” My eyes widened at her words. We knew this was bound to happen at any given moment since she was already in her thirty-ninth week of pregnancy.“Okay, we’re not going to panic.” I got out of bed and started slowly inhaling and exhaling to calm down. “There’s nothing to panic over, right? This was expected. The doctor told us everything is fine, and she doesn’t believe that you’ll face any complications.” I stopped talking when I felt Kendra grab my hand.When did she approach me? She was just by the bathroom door.“Declan, you’re doing the exact opposite of not panicking. You’re panicking,” she told me, staring at me.She was right. I was panicking. She shouldn’t be the one to comfort me at the time being. She was gi

    “You’re not just glowing, you’re radiant, flame,” Declan exclaimed, hugging me from behind, causing me to laugh.The past couple of weeks had been pretty hectic, but thankfully, everything had fallen into place.After Declan showed me the evidence the private investigator collected against Abigail, we headed to the police station to report everything. We didn’t leave any loopholes that Abigail could use against us.She tried so hard to claim that she was innocent, but even her lawyers understood that the odds weren’t in her favor. There was plenty of proof against her.John and Amanda tried to get me to drop the lawsuit, offering to give me whatever I wanted, but they didn’t have anything I wanted. All I wanted was to see the woman who wanted to see me dead in jail.What I truly wanted was to never see any of them ever again, and I could say that I got what I wanted.Abigail had been arrested, and they couldn’t even bail her out. Her trial was in a month, and I wasn’t worried. I had a

    I opened the door when the doorbell rang and found the private investigator I hired. He called me an hour ago, asking me if I was home.“Good afternoon,” I said, stepping aside to let him in.“Good afternoon, Mr. Davenport,” he said, walking inside.“I hope you have good news,” I said, guiding him to my home office. Kendra was sitting in the backyard with Joelle and Lana.I had been working from home ever since she was released from the hospital, not wanting to leave her alone. Mom offered to stay with her if I wanted to go to work, but I refused. I knew Mom would take great care of her, but I wanted to be by her side.Just a day after the incident took place, I immediately hired a private investigator to look into the matter. I didn’t want to wait for the police because I was willing to do anything and pay any amount of money to find out who wanted her dead.I was certain that it wasn’t just a random shooting incident and Kendra happened to be at the wrong place and the wrong time.“

    The darkness I had been stuck in was finally releasing me. I no longer felt shackled by whatever was preventing me from getting out of that dark room. I made the decision to open my eyes but quickly closed them when my eyes got hit with strong light.My body felt sore, and there was a strange beeping sound I wasn’t used to. I took a deep breath but immediately winced when my chest burned with pain.I slowly opened my eyes, and this time, they hurt less.I looked around me, and it was easy to realize that I was in a hospital room. There was something connected to my nose, and as I looked at my arm, I noticed the needles stuck in it. I tried not to panic as I kept assuring myself I was fine.When the door to my room opened, I sighed in relief when I saw my husband in front of me.“Hello there.” He crossed the small distance between us in a second. He gently placed his hand on the top of my head and pressed a gentle kiss on my forehead. “Have you been awake for a while?”“No,” I whispere

    “I saw two people on a motorcycle. The one at the back shot her. They had helmets on, so I couldn’t see who they were.” I gave my statement to the police.“Is there anything you noticed about the motorcycle?” the cop asked me.“It was a red and white one,” I replied.“Thank you, Mr. Davenport. We will let you know once we have any updates,” the cop said and walked away.I messaged our family and friends ten minutes ago and delivered the terrible news to them. I knew that in less than an hour, I was going to find them all here.Everything had been more than perfect for the past few days, so I didn’t know why something had to happen out of the blue and ruin our lives. I wish I could understand why it was hard for us to be happy for long.Every time we thought we could finally enjoy life, something had to pop out of nowhere and steal our happiness.It wasn’t just our happiness this time. It was Kendra’s life. Someone wanted to take her away from me, and whoever that person was, I was goi

    “I do.” Kendra’s voice was soft, and the look on her face spoke a billion words. She was incredibly nervous, and honestly, I couldn’t blame her. She was getting married to a guy she barely knew. “I now pronounce you husband and wife,” the officiant declared. “You may now kiss the bride.” I gent
