[Ethan Blake]

You can always tell when someone is about to lie when you work in the same line of work as me.

I’ve got a lot of things under my belt. From being a venture capitalist, co-owner of Cole-Blake Holdings, running my mother’s company, to being the CEO/Founder of Blake Capital. I own luxury investments, international hotels, tech acquisitions, private equity, and a lot of fucking real estate.

I’m a busy man who’s always in some meeting or the other. So I’ve had enough time over the past

  • The Forgotten Wife's Comeback   //Ch 26//

    [Isabella Hayes]Ethan wanted to meet at the restaurant in Orion Central where his company was based. His main building in Aurelia City. Since most of his business is in investments, a lot of places can be considered his.It’s impressive how he manages all of this. It’s something I admired about both him and Adrian. They were hard workers.Given a fortune that would have millions of people living the good life, they both chose to work and turn that fortune into something bigger.Although they have different reasons.Adrian wasn’t given a choice, and Ethan was determined to get to the point in his life where no one could overlook him and his mother.At least, that’s what Adrian told me. I’m sure it’s not that far from the truth.The restaurant was exactly what I expected. Big, full of chandeliers, and tables set far from each other so no one has to be bothered by another person.It was the perfect place to eat and have a conversation. Although my nerves were acting up again.I haven’t

    [Adrian Cole]I slept alone in the master bedroom for the first time since I got married. Isabella was usually always right there. Lying so close, I could feel her chest moving as she breathed. Her soft curls would have fallen over her face, and I would always brush them to the side, exposing her beautiful face.She was always right there. When I'd roll over, she'd be right there for me to pull into my arms.When I'd return late from a busy day, I could crawl into bed and know that she’s there.This time, I was very much alone. And I couldn’t understand why.Why was Isabella holding a grudge? She’s never been a spiteful person. She forgives a lot of things that people have done, and yet this time she’s chosen to punish me. I know I'm not perfect, but neither is she. I overlook her flaws, and I never bring them back to rub in her face. Olivia pointed out to me that Isa is just not meant for my world. Sooner or later, she was going to crack under the pressures of being a Cole wife. I d

    [Ethan Blake]I knew she would be gone when I returned this time. I checked on her each night over the past two days. She was clean, her presence was noticeable because no matter how much people denied it, Isabella was a woman you had to notice.She was so flawlessly human. Stunning. A woman who made all around her either shine or pale in foolish comparison, yet she wasn’t perfect. It made me fall for her so much.When she left somewhere, it didn’t go unchecked. So the moment I arrived at my building, I could tell something was different. There wasn’t a note on my fridge saying… ‘Have dinner. Everyone needs food. Even the rich.’I found it funny. We barely saw each other because I was working on a new investment, and the men involved were being difficult. Normally, I would skip dinner and just sleep. But after two days with Isabella, we had a routine.She made sure I had dinner. I made sure she had breakfast.I was stupidly happy.And now my home is empty.I shouldn’t think like this.

    [Isabella Hayes]I cannot explain my reaction back there. I truly have no words for why I acted that way. I thought I was over the incident.Well, no, I knew I wasn’t over it. But I didn’t think it had affected me this badly. It reminded me of how my Alda used to hurt me physically. She was never content with just words like Chloe. Alda needed me to bleed one way or the other.I’ll never forget hiding out in my room and actually learning to love being at boarding school because it meant I was far away from her abuse and everything else that went down at that house.Adrian was my peace. Yeah, I never got into the full details about what was happening to me at home. I told him my family just wasn’t great, and he seemed to catch the hint, so he never pressed me for more information.The man I’d met in college would never have pushed me into the wall. I would like to think he’d be disgusted with this current behavior. But what if… what if the signs were always there and I had just missed

    [Adrian Cole]I must have done something wrong, that was my first thought when Isabella dropped to her knees. Her body was shaking in such a way that it genuinely sent fear crawling up my spine.Did I do something? I mean, I thought it would be a good idea to give her some more time to relax before reaching out. Olivia and I were out anyway, so it felt like the right thing to do. To introduce them.But Isabella was acting strangely. She kept saying… when she said she understood that I was sorry and she wouldn’t bother me with her emotions, a part of me was offended. Was she going to hold that one argument over my head for the rest of our lives? Can she not see how sorry I truly am?I have missed her these past few days.Dropping her bag, I dropped down next to her. I’d brought us out of the bakery and into one of the empty stores to talk privately. I assumed that was the reason she was acting weird. She didn’t want to say what she meant in front of Olivia.But I hadn’t expected this.

    [Isabella Hayes]I took a cab to the brunch spot Adrian had suggested we meet at. Sweet Cakes. He’s not exactly a big fan of sweets, although he has an unhealthy obsession with anything strawberry-related; meanwhile, I don’t like strawberries. No allergies; I just don’t like the taste of anything strawberry.We’re opposites in more than just our backgrounds.I was expecting a small cafe-style place from the name, but the actual spot was located in this large building that held other stores, restaurants, and many more. It was more of a mall than most malls I’d been to. Just extremely bougie. Everything there, from the kids' clothing store I spotted as I approached, had a price tag that was ridiculous no matter how I looked at it.Who would spend one grand for a onesie?My fingers were tingling around the strap of my bag.Sweet Cakes wasn’t a bakery or a cafe, in fact, the name was very deceiving. It was more of a bar than a bakery. With bright lights, multi colored flashing lights, a l

    [Isabella Hayes]I seldom drink. I learned long ago that drinking is not my strong suit, and it’d be better if I avoided it at all costs. I’d have a small glass of champagne or wine at dinner at certain events if a non alcoholic option wasn’t available, but that was it. I never let myself get to a

  • The Forgotten Wife's Comeback   //Ch 11//

    [Ethan Blake]Many people would find it hard to believe this, but I’m easy to anger. I keep it controlled behind a perfected mask of indifference. So when I’m forced to show some emotion or react in some way, it feels stronger than if I were to lash out consistently.This wasn’t one of those times.

    [Isabella Hayes]The screen paused, and Naomi flipped the camera around.I was still frozen; the joy I’d been clinging to all day dispersed, and I was left feeling like the biggest fool in the world.“I’m guessing the sharp-eyed brunette just lied,” Naomi said, her tone calm but her eyes were dange

  • The Forgotten Wife's Comeback   //Ch 9//

    [Isabella Hayes]I was on a high. The dread that had followed me for the past two days was no longer there. Everything was back to normal.Pseudo normal. The things online haven’t disappeared. Adrian’s media team did make a statement clarifying that he’s simply friends with Olivia and that he has n
