The Forgotten Wife's Comeback //Ch 64//
[Isabella Hayes]“It is true, Ethan. There’s no reason for me to stay here just to be verbally abused then forgotten in a year or two. Why shouldn’t I pack up everything and move? I’ve got my clothes. Adrian put them in a storage unit. He let me keep the entire wardrobe. It was generous, I guess. But what am I going to do with all those clothes? They’d make me look like I’m still clinging to the person who loved him.” My fingers tingled as I ran them through my hair. “I want a fresh start. Is that too much to ask?”He was silent. I felt the rise and fall of his chest as he took in each breath.“Why don’t you let me help you?”My face spoke before I could figure the words out, putting on a frown. I forced my head up, staring into his deep brown eyes.“I cannot rely on someone else, Ethan. What if we stop being friends? Then what?”He shook his head, already disagreeing before the last question came past my lips. “I am offering to help you do something for yourself, like a business. Con

[Isabella Hayes]I arrived at Ethan’s home twenty minutes later. The drive had been uncomfortable for me because the driver had his phone on and was looking at GossipQueen’s page.She was, of course, discussing the new rumors of my marriage ending and Adrian’s new post.My ears clung to every single word despite my trying not to pay attention to it. The words she used when talking about Adrian's sudden proposal to another woman without any public announcement about the wife he’s had for years were disgusting.She spoke of me like she’d been holding on to the malice that a nobody like me married into society. She made very rude comments about my body, my lack of a job, even referring to me as a gold digger who probably got to enjoy what it felt like to be amongst the upper class.She said a lot of other things I wouldn’t like to repeat.It’s not like she added something new. I’ve heard all of this before. People have called me worse.However, this was the first insight into what would

[Isabella Hayes]Adrian and I didn't speak again after that phone call.There was nothing left to say until mediation, where we'd finally put an end to everything we'd once been.The meeting was... civil.Painfully so.Neither of us argued. Neither of us begged. We'd already exhausted every conversation that mattered. All that remained were signatures, legal formalities, and two people quietly walking away from a marriage neither of us recognized anymore.There was still the matter of the money.The account Adrian had opened for me remained under his control, so our lawyers agreed it would be simpler for him to transfer everything into it. Once the divorce was finalized, he'd either reclaim the account or move the funds back into one of his own.It didn't matter.None of that money would ever touch my hands.I was leaving this marriage the way I'd entered it—with nothing that belonged to him.The twelve and a half million dollars from his family's settlement was only the beginning.Th

[Adrian Cole]The next day, I sat alone in my office. The divorce papers had been sent to me during lunch period.Seeing the name David Reed, from Reed’s Firm and Associates, was a shock. I know for a fact that Isabella couldn’t afford a lawyer like this. Which meant Ethan was involved.Or someone else was involved.David’s hourly rate was disgustingly high. Unless she suddenly found a very unlikely fortune. Or perhaps her mother’s helping her pay for this.Hmm, that makes more sense than Ethan paying for this. Well, they’re friends, so he might actually be helping her.Ugh. I didn’t think the papers would come so soon. And from someone this huge.David specializes in results. The divorce petition was very detailed. He cited many areas where I had failed in my marriage to Isabella. He included the money she was meant to receive, her writing on one page saying she would return it after the divorce in full.I looked like an asshole. He painted me as a man who stepped out on his marriage
The Forgotten Wife's Comeback //Ch 60//
[Isabella Hayes]The driver Ethan gave us took me back to Naomi’s place. She needed to get to her photography job.We didn’t leave empty-handed, though. Other than the form I needed to fill out, I also received David’s personal number, and he told Naomi to apply to his firm. She impressed him with her boldness. She turned him down, but I told him she’d think about it.Obviously, I said that. She’d missed a half day of work to help me, the least I can do is convince her to finally put her law degree to use. With David personally looking into her resume, she can finally stop working two jobs tirelessly.I can even ask Ethan to back her up.I haven’t pitched this to her yet. I simply brought my bag to her home, and have been lying on her awful sofa with my phone turned off for the past two hours.It’s slowly dawning on me that my marriage is over. Therefore, everything is about to change. The people I used to spend time with will start avoiding me and pretending they don’t know me.My mo

[Ethan Blake]Adrian blubbered through the entire call before I finally decided to hang up and go to his house.I wanted him to repeat those terrible words directly to my face. I wanted him to say he’d done the unforgivable and cheated on his wife so I could understand that my friend was truly gone.I told him Olivia was bad news. I told him she only ever brought out the worst in him, but he wouldn’t listen to me. He was determined to bring that she-devil into his life, and now look? He has hurt his wife in the process.The vibe in his mansion was chaotic. Every single employee was nowhere to be found, and I couldn’t find Adrian right away.Sighing, I reached into my pocket for my phone. I dialed his number and waited to hear the ringtone. That would lead me directly to him.My feet dragged along until I heard a groan coming from upstairs, followed by the loud ringing of his phone.Then there was a female voice.“Answer it. You’re the one who called him originally.” Olivia… what the f
The Forgotten Wife's Comeback //Ch 6//
[Isabella Hayes]I panicked for several minutes. My manicured nails dug into the ground, almost breaking from the force of the rough surface. The driver hopped out of the car and came around to check on me.There are so many things a husband shouldn’t do in a city like this. He shouldn’t be walking

[Isabella Hayes]Dinner goes exactly how I thought it would, without Adrian there to shut my stepfamily up.Richard pretends not to see me. Two out of my three stepsisters had already started making comments about what happened at my event.“Adrian just walked out. Even he was tired of your bullshi
The Forgotten Wife's Comeback //Ch 4//
[Isabella Hayes]“Mrs Cole? Mrs Cole, are you still there?”The assistant’s voice drowns out as something in my brain clicks into place, but that can’t be right. The call… the reason he was so happy… it couldn’t have been because of her.I never worried about Olivia, even though Adrian’s parents be
The Forgotten Wife's Comeback //Ch 3//
[Isabella Hayes]Later in the day, I met up with my best friend for a chat and some drinks to help me process my embarrassment.“You didn’t call him out?” Naomi shouted, alerting other people in the cafe to our table. She was acting like I’d committed a cardinal sin.“I…” I fumbled over my words, f
