The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 98
ZARA’S POVI got off a phone call with Cael and when he told me Lena was handling the matter with Charles, I felt relieved. It was still early in the morning yet we already had hospital drama.“We are here, madam,” my chauffeur informed. I had gotten a temporary chauffeur until my driver would resume work. He had family issues apparently.I got out of the car and read the inscription on the tall building; CK GROUP, written in all caps. I walked in slowly and gracefully as Victor would always urge me to and from the number of heads that turned as I passed by, I knew I was more popular than before. Whether that was a good thing or bad thing, time would tell.I went straight to the tenth floor where Victor’s office was located. I had to go through his secretary’s office before seeing him. I had seen her before, his secretary, Ada.“Do you have an appointment with him?” She asked politely.I looked into her eyes, “If I don’t have an appointment, will you turn me away?”She smiled lightly,

LENA’S POV“I want you to check up on him every hour. Monitor his condition closely and let me know if there is even a slight change to his vitals,” I instructed the third year resident. I had operated on a child patient for a brain tumor, spending seven hours in the operation room. I was very tired and I was just handing over my duties to a resident this morning.“You don’t have to worry, I will take care of it,” the resident told me confidently. I stared at him, filled with doubt. He wasn’t really famous for his competence but at the same time, he was only a resident. He had to make mistakes to learn.“Don’t try to solve things on your own, call me if anything happens,” I told him calmly.“You don’t have to worry, doctor,” he replied, smiling. “Please rest up. I will take care of things around there.”With how confident he sounded, I don’t know if I should be happy or scared. Either way, I went to the dorm for doctors and slept or at least tried to. I had barely slept for thirty min

CAEL’S POVThe next day came with a special task for all of us. Zara had to talk to Victor, Lena had to talk to Nadia and I had been assigned to speak to Zara’s ex-boyfriend, Marcus. He was a guy I had heard a lot about but had never met before. I was so curious that I had Charles come over that morning as he would be accompanying me there.“You have Oliver, boss. I don’t need to come with you for things like this,” Charles muttered.I rolled my eyes at him, “Are you forgetting that you are my assistant? You don’t get to choose your tasks.”“But I—” He tried saying and gave up halfway. “It’s all good. No matter what I say, I will end up going with you anyway.”“You shouldn’t have argued with me in the first place,” I scoffed. “So did you investigate?”“I wouldn’t call it an investigation since it was nothing thorough but—” Charles said.“It should have been thorough,” I cut in.“Well…” he paused nervously. “As you wanted me to, I dug into Marcus Finn. He used to be an artist and now h

CHARLES’S POV“I can’t have a lady wandering alone this late at night,” I said. I turned to Cael, “If that is all, boss, may I take my leave?”“Of course. Make sure you take Lena home safely,” he replied.I smiled and turned to Lena who was looking shy. Both of us walked out of the mansion without exchanging a word. She was obviously a little nervous while I tried to think of what to say in order to lighten the mood.“My car is right there,” I pointed. “The gray colored one in the middle of the blacks. It stands out pretty well, doesn’t it?”“Not as well as it would if it was painted white,” she responded.I smiled, “I will paint it white then.”“That’s a joke, right?” She laughed. “You wouldn’t really change your car’s color just to satisfy me.”“Of course, it is a joke. I love the color gray. They say it is a hybrid of black and white.”“I guess you could say that,” she snorted. I got to the car first and opened the door for her, urging her to enter. She eyed me dangerously. “You li
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 94
ZARA’S POVYour brain wants one thing and your heart wants another. Have you ever been in such a position? I was in one right now with Cael in front of me with earnest eyes. He was right there, stable as a rock, waiting for me to talk. I was lost for words, not knowing which position to take. Shall I follow my brain which wanted to be logical or my heart which swayed on an emotional basis?“Punish me, Zara,” his voice echoed in my head. I wondered if he knew that was so sexy.“I… I don’t know what to… I will think… I mean, I will have to think about it and err… you know…” I stammered.He kept looking into my eyes without flinching and somehow, my heart melted and all my resolve disappeared. I stared back at him and began to take deep breaths.“Fine, I will forgive you,” I said. “But I am either one thing or another, I refuse to stand in the middle. So tell me, do you like me?”For the first time since the confrontation, he blinked his eyes nervously. He darted back towards me but he c

ZARA’S POV“How about you explain yourself?” I asked. “Did you send this to my office?”Cael took the pictures and went through them. He let out a sigh and dropped them on the table, “Where did you get this from? Who sent this?”“If I knew, I wouldn’t be asking you,” I replied sharply. “You are close enough to me to get these pictures. Did you drug me to take these pictures?”“Don’t be ridiculous, Zara. I have no reason to—”“You have plenty of reasons,” I pointed out. “We have been fighting these days. Maybe you thought that was the best way to get back at me.”“I would never take sensitive pictures of you like this. Do you take me for a pervert or something? I am definitely not that so stop this immediately,” he said firmly.“Are you sure this isn’t you?” I asked, looking him in the eye.“It isn’t,” he said calmly. He walked towards me and touched my shoulder, “I know you are troubled right now, you have every reason to. I will help you find who is behind this, I promise.”I took a

ZARA’S POVMy head felt like someone was driving nails into my skull from the inside.The worst hangover of my life had arrived with its full force, punishing me for every single terrible decision I made last night.I woke up slowly, squinting my eyes against the bright sunlight pouring in through
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 3
ZARA’S POVThe elevator doors had barely closed behind us before Cael had me pressed against the cold metal wall. His lips crashed down on mine with a hunger that stole what little breath I had left in my lungs.This kiss was nothing like the polite one at the chapel. This one was hungry, demanding
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 2
ZARA’S POVI looked outside the window, taking in the bright city lights that shone ahead of us. I sat in the passenger seat, as my heart pounded like a free rock-and-roll concert was being held there.While Cael on the other hand was driving calmly, his eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel, and
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 1
ZARA’S POVI pushed open the apartment door, my overnight bag was still hanging from my shoulder. The place was quiet. A little too quiet if I might. Marcus was supposed to be at work, but his car was parked downstairs. I smiled a little. Maybe he came home early to surprise me.“Marcus?” I called,
