The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead Chapter 52
Briar’s POV“Is it okay for me to go in with her?” Liam asked my lawyer. Attorney Janet shook her head without looking up from her tablet. “No, you don’t. This is private business.” I took in a deep breath, smiling tightly. “It’s alright, Liam. I can handle this. Moreover, it is just a first meeting. The judge wouldn’t be presiding today. Right, Attorney?” She exhaled impatiently and bobbed her head. “Yes. We need to go in now.” “I will wait out here,” Liam mumbled. “Thank you.” I mouthed, following Janet. I could feel my palms getting sweaty from my nervous state. When the court order arrived at my door, I almost didn’t believe it. Even though Adrian and I had exchanged words because of it, I had hoped he would have the decency to back off. Requesting a DNA test when I had told him repeatedly that my child wasn’t his is quite devastating. I hate how much he still gets to me after all these years. It shows he never cared and still doesn’t. I let myself get fooled by that stupid

Briar’s POV“Mummy, Uncle Adrian brought me gifts.” Knox pointed at the purchase bags Gina placed on the kitchen island. “Gina, when were you going to tell me that someone was in the house?” I raised my brow at her. She swallowed with difficulty. “I…” “I had insisted on being let in.” Adrian cut in. “I am not an offender. Is there a reason for you to be scared of my presence?” I blinked slowly, “What are you doing here?” “Gina can you please take Knox in?” Adrian requested. Knox looked up at him with a pout. “Are you going to leave without telling me again?” Adrian shook his head and ruffled his hair. “No, champ. I will definitely let you know when I am leaving.” “Okay. Thank you for the toys.” Knox waved at him as he followed Gina into his room. “He is a well-trained kid. You did a really good job, Briar.” Adrian commended. I didn’t let that get to me and folded my arms instead. “I still don’t know why you came here. What makes you think you can get my son gifts and come ar

Adrian’s POV“You did what?” Eric spat out his drink. I sucked my teeth, dusting off the stain on my shirt. “Get a grip on yourself, man. I don’t remember speaking gibberish.” “Why would you do that?” “Why not? I was trying to talk to her, and she acted like I wasn’t worthy of an adequate response. I had to say something.” “The child is obviously yours.” “But without a DNA test, she will definitely deny he belongs to me. And he carries her fake name. How didn't I even think it through from the start? It is ridiculous that she lets him call someone else dad while I am alive.” Eric ran his hand through his hair, “Do you even know how she has had to live in the last five years without any support? Aren’t you being unfair?” “Unfair?” I raised my voice. “What about me, Eric? First I thought I had lost my wife and child. Only to find out she is alive and when I asked about my child she told me he was dead. All along he was right in front of me and I had no idea. She made a fool of me
The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead Chapter 49
Briar’s POVThe silence that settled into the room was deafening. In the midst of it, I could hear my heart pounding aggressively. If I wasn’t made of bone and flesh, I would have turned into a puddle from the restlessness. “Wait a minute, this needs to be explained to me more simply.” Rissa broke the silence. “He wants a DNA test for a child that is confirmed as his? Knox practically looks like a miniature version of him.” “That is not the point!” Liam snapped. He sounded irritated. “He shouldn’t ask for it. If he is sensible, he should know to let go and not pull any dumb tricks. Five years is a long time.” “Really? Is that supposed to be reasonable enough for him to back away? It’s not like he was aware of his presence and chose to ignore him.” “Do you hear yourself? Why wouldn’t he know of his existence in the first place? Isn’t it because he is an asshole? One that shouldn’t be found around an innocent child like that.” Rissa groaned loudly, flaring her nose at him. “Oh, ple

Briar’s POV“You like it?” I asked Knox as he chewed with relish on the mashed potatoes and baked fish. He bobbed his head, his signature bright smile plastering his face. “Yes, mummy. I like it.” I patted his hair down gently, “I am glad you do baby.” I smiled back at him. The last five days have had me bouncing from one emotion to another. My repayment out of it all is seeing Knox get back his color, talk in his usual manner, and eat well. The doctor assured us we could get him discharged by tomorrow. I can't wait to have him well attended to at home. Despite the room upgrade I don’t feel comfortable about it. Adrian had paid for a VIP room and covered the entire bill without telling me about it. I haven’t seen him since that day and I can’t even fathom what it is he might be thinking. “Mummy, when is Uncle Liam coming?” Knox's voice jolted me back to the present. I patted his hand, “Uncle Liam is busy, baby. He came yesterday when you were asleep. There is no need to worry, ok

Adrian’s POV“Here is your card, sir.” The lady by the counter handed it over with a smile. “Thanks.” I sniffed, retrieving it and heading for the door. “I thought you had left.” I heard Liam behind me. My body stiffened at his voice. When I didn’t respond, he came in front of me. “I forgot to thank you earlier. Thanks for your help and sorry you were caught off guard. If you weren’t here it might have been too much trouble.” I furrowed my brow, staring at him in disbelief. Who the fuck is this dude? I scoffed and walked past him. He isn’t deserving of a response. “What? Aren’t you going to say something?” He called after me. I threw him a side glare. “What do you want to hear? Don’t piss me off, man.” I warned, heading towards my car. “It’s not her fault you know. Don’t make this about you. Let things be. There is no need to get all upset for nothing.”I tightened my fist, fighting the rage bubbling inside me. “Mr Ashford, I do not remember being friends with you. You have no r

Briar’s POVI finally made up my mind. Atlanta to Inglewood by road will take me two days to reach. But it is the best option for me. I cannot afford to have my movement tracked by Adrian. So taking a plane is off the table. I need to disappear as quietly as possible. This would be my first long

Briar’s POVAs the rain thundered against the window, my chest tightened and tears flowed nonstop. It’s been two months of darkness in my life. My little one grows inside me healthily, but I worry that my sadness might deprive the child of a full life. How can I be happy when everything around me i

Briar’s POV“Why can’t I visit?” Mum yelled from the other end of the phone. I held the phone away from my ear, cursing inwardly. “Mum, please. I am stressed.”“That is not the response I seek.” She snapped. Inhaling sharply, I rubbed at my growing belly gently with my free hand. It’s been over
The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead Chapter 2
Briar’s POVMy night was awful and I really wish it wasn’t. I couldn’t catch a wink of sleep after that harsh reality I was forced to face last night. I couldn’t even bring myself to eat the delicious meal Gibson and I had worked so hard on all day. It tasted watery in my mouth and my stomach reje
