The Billionaire's Strained Wife Chapter 35:The Breakup
Darius didn’t sleep.By morning, the city outside his windows had already woken up, but his mind was still locked in the same moment—Liana’s mouth on another man, her hands familiar where they had no right to be.He stood in his office, jacket perfectly pressed, expression carved from stone. On his desk lay his phone, screen dark, but its contents burned behind his eyes.Photos. Videos. Time-stamped. Undeniable.He hadn’t confronted her immediately. That would’ve been emotional. Sloppy.Darius Hidalgo didn’t do anything sloppy.At exactly ten a.m., his assistant announced her.“Darius—I mean, Mr. Hedalgo, Ms. Liana is here,” Hezekiah said, voice steady despite the tension crawling up her spine.The moment Liana’s eyes landed on her, they sharpened.“First-name basis?” Liana’s eyebrows lifted slowly. A cruel smile curved her lips. “Bold of you. Or stupid.” Her gaze swept Hezekiah from head to toe. “Which is it?”Hezekiah stiffened. “It was a mistake, Ma’am Liana. I apologize.”Lian
The Billionaire's Strained Wife Chapter 34: I don’t feel brave
The name didn’t register at first.Shela opened her mouth—then closed it.“No,” she said softly. “No. That’s not—”“I know,” Ziah whispered. “I know what it sounds like.”Shela took a step back, stunned. “Your boss?”“He was,” Ziah said. “Before everything went wrong.”“When?” Shela asked. Not angry. Just shaken.“The first time was at Mr. Ramada’s birthday,” Ziah admitted. “Then again—three weeks ago. On the work trip.”Shela let out a sharp, disbelieving laugh. “I read stories like this. I just never thought I’d be living one.”Her eyes hardened. “So you cheated. That’s why you broke up.”Ziah hesitated. “Partially. Yes. But not only that.”Shela frowned. “What do you mean?”“I caught him kissing someone outside his condo,” Ziah said quietly. “The girl admitted they had a one-night stand.”She exhaled. “So I ended it. Without telling him the truth.”Shela stared at her. “Jesus, Ziah…”“I know,” Ziah said. “I know it’s horrible.”Shela pressed her lips together, the pieces clicking i
The Billionaire's Strained Wife Chapter 33: She Nearly collapsed.
Hezekiah decided to buy food in the cafeteria. She didn’t know what she wanted—only that she needed something. Anything.She stepped into the elevator.The doors slid shut, sealing in too many bodies and not enough air. Hezekiah stood near the back, one hand wrapped tightly around the strap of her bag, the other braced against the wall as the car began its descent.Third floor.Her vision blurred at the edges, like someone was dimming the lights too fast.Second.Heat flooded her body—sudden, suffocating. The low hum of the elevator sharpened into a piercing whine, vibrating behind her eyes.Breathe, she told herself. Just breathe.First floor.Her knees gave out.She didn’t reach the ground.“Hey—hey, I’ve got you.”Arms caught her from the side, firm and steady. Not familiar. Not him.“Easy,” a woman said—calm, alert. “She’s fainting.”The elevator jolted to a stop. Someone hit the emergency button. The doors slid open to bright light and movement that made her head spin.“I’m okay
The Billionaire's Strained Wife Chapter 32:Resignation Letter – Draft
The afternoon dragged.Hezekiah sat at her desk long after the office noise softened into its usual hum, staring at her screen without really seeing it. Numbers blurred. Words lost meaning. Her body felt heavy in a way sleep wouldn’t fix.Her hand moved almost on its own, opening a blank document.No title.Just words.Dear Sir,She stopped. Deleted it.Tried again.This letter serves as my formal resignation—Her fingers froze.Resignation.The word felt final. Terrifying. And yet—relieving, in a way she couldn’t explain.She leaned back in her chair, one hand drifting unconsciously to her stomach, thumb pressing lightly against the fabric of her blouse as if she could feel something there already.“I can’t do this,” she whispered.She didn’t want to abort.That certainty had arrived quietly, without debate. Fear was there—constant, sharp—but beneath it was something steadier. A line she knew she wouldn’t cross.If she stayed, everything would eventually collapse. If she left… maybe
The Billionaire's Strained Wife Chapter 31: I am pregnant?
She stayed on the bathroom floor longer than she meant to.The tiles were cold against her spine, grounding her just enough to keep her from floating apart. The test lay on the counter, face up, unapologetic. Two lines. Clear. Indifferent to panic.Pregnant.The word echoed without sound.She stood slowly, like sudden movement might break something fragile inside her. Rinsed her hands. Looked at her reflection—pale, eyes too bright, a woman who still looked exactly the same as she had yesterday.How could something this big hide so quietly?She tucked the test back into its box, then shoved it deep into the bottom drawer beneath folded towels, as if distance could undo biology.Sleep didn’t come that night.Every time she closed her eyes, her mind supplied memories she’d worked so hard to suppress—hotel lights, breathless laughter, the certainty she’d told herself meant nothing. She rolled onto her side just before dawn, exhausted but wired, heart racing for reasons she couldn’t outru
The Billionaire's Strained Wife Chapter 30:Relief Is a Dangerous Thing
Hezekiah barely slept.When she arrived at the office the next morning, it showed. Her eyes were rimmed with exhaustion, makeup doing its best—and failing—to hide the truth. Her movements were slower, shoulders tight, like she was holding herself together by sheer will.She set her bag down at her desk and opened her tablet, skimming through Darius’s schedule with a dull ache pulsing behind her eyes.At nine sharp, his door opened.“Hezekiah.”She stood immediately and walked in, professionalism snapping into place like muscle memory.“Yes, boss?”He glanced up from his laptop, his gaze lingering on her face for half a second longer than necessary.“You look tired.”“I’m fine,” she said quickly.A lie. They both knew it.He didn’t push. Instead, he leaned back slightly. “What’s my schedule today?”She nodded, tapping notes into her tablet. “You have a board call at ten, a site delivery arriving at eleven, lunch with operations at one, and—”A knock cut her off.A courier stood in the
