The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead Chapter 39
Adrian’s POVMy head aches like it might split in two for relief's sake. This is why I hate drinking irresponsibly. I have never been able to handle myself when I get drunk. There is a limit to what I can consume. But I wanted to go numb so bad, it just felt like the right decision. Sitting up on the bed, I fluttered my lashes a couple of times to know where I am. The room looked like a hotel room. I don’t remember lodging in last night. Groaning, I grabbed a fistful of my hair and sat on the edge of the bed. Rubbing at my tired face, I let out a shocked sigh when I placed my feet on the cold floor and the memories of last night flooded my head. I wanted to slap my forehead to rebuke myself for acting out. But I couldn’t do so to avoid worsening the headache. I wonder what Briar thinks of me now. The reckless outburst and vomit must have thrown her off. I had blanked out afterwards which must be why I don’t remember being brought to the hotel.That must have been a lot for Briar to h

Briar’s POVI leaped back at the pour of puke, too stunned to scream as I flared my nose in irritation. Adrian staggered for a few seconds, wincing probably at the stale taste of his puke. He rubbed his face a couple of times and tried to remain steady. Then he suddenly held my gaze. “Briar…..” Adrian let out in a soft tone before falling against me. Thankfully I caught his shoulder with both hands preventing us from falling into his vomit. He reeked of it too. I didn’t think he was the type to get this drunk. He is such a lightweight. A string of curses escaped my lips. If anyone had told me that I was going to handle this sort of mess when all I wanted was a glass of wine away from home, I would have just stayed back and locked myself up in my room. I looked around for anyone to help me with him but there wasn’t anyone nearby. I had to shake him awake. “Adrian, where is your car?” I inquired. He threw his arm out lazily, his words almost inaudible. “There.” Huffing in frustra

Adrian’s POVAfter driving aimlessly for hours, I eventually ended up at a bar. It was the only thing I could do before I ended up going to Briar’s house to embarrass myself. “What would you like to have sir?” The bartender asked. “Gin and tonic. Keep the gin heavy.” I replied. “You got it.” My drink was ready in no time. To shut off my distorted feeling, I downed the glass in one go and asked for another. It sizzled down my throat and seemed to do a good job at dissolving the tension I felt. “Hello, pretty lady. What do you want me to get you?” The bartender inquired in a friendly tone. “Red wine please.” The customer replied. Even in my daze, there is no way I wouldn’t know whose voice that is. I turned my head and it was really her. I chugged down half of my drink, swallowing with difficulty. It is my fourth glass. “What are the odds? Did you fight with hubby?” I couldn’t resist the spite in my voice. “Adrian?” Briar called out—a flash of shock on her face before it return

Adrian’s POV“This is unbelievable!” Isadora blurted dramatically when we got into the car. “It's always the innocent-looking ones. Who would have thought Briar had such a vile attitude? A child as grown as that with her team leader? I am stunned.” She cackled, covering up her face. My grip tightened around the steering wheel as I focused on the road.“Why aren’t you saying anything, Adrian?” she asked, pausing. “Wait a minute…you knew about it? How?” “What do you think about the exhibition ground for the aquarium?” I asked, shifting the topic to the exact reason why we were at the aquarium earlier. Isadora sucked her teeth, folding her arms. “Well, this is not an official work day so I am not obliged to answer that question. What I need to know is why you said nothing about Briar getting involved with another man. Shouldn’t you sue her, really? She made a fool of you and pretended to be dead. Are we just going to turn a blind eye to it?”I took in a sharp breath, clenching my jaw
The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead Chapter 35
Briar’s POV“Mummy, see that octopus!” Knox squealed in excitement, pressing his finger against the tunnel tank that harbored the sea folks. I gasped at the enormous sight of the octopus. Many of the animals were big and weird. The sharks and sea turtles had me staring in disbelief. I have never been to an aquarium. This is the first time for me and me. When we walked in, I saw many parents with their young children, all excited and running around. I felt guilty for not taking Knox to a space like this earlier. But he made me realize it was in fact a good decision to have waited until this moment. He was practically going mad. Making Liam chase him. None of our warnings was heard. It appears the space makes children act out due to excitement. I would have screamed in frustration if it were just the two of us and I had to run after him every time he saw something mindblowing. I might sound like a terrible mother, but I genuinely do not like to lie to myself. Liam picked him off the f

Briar’s POV“Was it just me or did Isadora seem to be trying to put down your work?” Liam noted, taking a long sip of his water.I tapped my finger gently on the table, the food in my mouth going watery as I had been chewing for a long time. “I am more surprised that Adrian didn’t seem put off and has signed off on the project,” I admitted. As always Isadora couldn’t hide her claws. For every meeting we had regarding project approval, she shut down my opinions and listened to others while ignoring the actual brains behind the task. Since I knew she was doing it out of spite, I didn’t let myself be bothered. Aside from Liam, Adrian was always waving her off, which is quite bothersome. Rissa smacked her lips. “Is he supposed to have a problem with it? You did a good job. It is only right that you get commended for it.”“You don’t know him as I do.” I sniffed, sitting up. “he doesn’t act without a reason. I have a feeling that this might not turn out well.” “You have been hammering on

Briar’s POVMy eyes lingered on the building as I tightened my grip around the steering wheel. I have been sitting out here for ten minutes, contemplating whether I should head in. My phone rang loudly, jolting me out of my thoughts. I placed a hand on my chest cursing under my breath. “You almost

Briar’s POV“This is the moodboard compilation from the last meeting. You need to sign it off.” I said, placing the file on the table. Liam didn't look up from the computer screen he had his eyes glued to. “Hmm.” Came his disinterested response. I shifted from one foot to the other. “Sir, you are

Briar’s POVI let out a frustrated groan, kicking my feet against the floor. What have I done? I should have controlled my anger. I just let it get the best of me and now I have to learn the hard way. I grabbed my hair tightly, wishing I could pull it out. “Will you stop that already!” Rissa rebuk

Adrian’s POV“Is she okay?” I asked the doctor. “Yes, she is fine. She passed out due to shock. Once she is well rested she will be alright. You can take her home soon after getting her prescriptions.” He replied. “Thank you.” I let out a long sigh when he left, staring at Isadora who was still s
