The Forgotten Wife's Comeback //Ch 70//
[Isabella Hayes]Just as I surrendered myself to whatever they had planned, footsteps thundered through the apartment.The voices outside my bedroom cut off."Shit.""Go!""The other one wasn't bluffing. We'll come back for her."Their words tumbled over one another before they bolted. Heavy footsteps pounded across the apartment, growing fainter with every second until the front door slammed shut.Then another set of footsteps chased after them.Silence.My lungs finally remembered how to breathe.A broken sob ripped out of me before I could stop it.They were gone.They were finally gone.My entire body shook so violently my teeth began to chatter. I curled in on myself, arms wrapping around my stomach as if I could somehow hold myself together.Who were they?Why me?What would have happened if whoever scared them away had arrived a minute later?The questions crashed into me one after another until I couldn't tell whether I was crying because I was alive or because I had come terr

[Isabella Hayes]I twisted the door handle, not really thinking much about who was standing on the other side.There were three men dressed in black. One stood very close to the door with his knuckles raised as though he was about to knock for a third time. He was tall, beefy, and looked wide enough to block off the entire doorway. The other two were just as tall; that was the only reason I could see them over this first man’s shoulders.They had what I can only describe as a mean streak on their faces. Neither smiled, and they were lathered in scars, which made me immediately uneasy.But guilt settled into my gut as I realized how ridiculous that was. I’m judging them based on a bunch of scars and their angry features.“Can I help you?” I asked them gently, after they hadn’t said anything for quite some time.“Are you Isabella Hayes?” The man in front of me questioned, his voice was thick and sounded like he was gargling spit.My gut switched the feeling of guilt to something of fear
The Forgotten Wife's Comeback //Ch 68//
[Isabella Hayes]Several days had slipped by since Ethan convinced me to move to Arella.Three weeks. That was how long he’d given me to pack up my things, say goodbye to the people who mattered, and decide what I wanted the rest of my life to look like.He'd promised I wouldn't have to work for the first year. I could settle in, breathe, and focus on building the business idea until it was something he could actually invest in.The thought had terrified me at first. I mean, I didn’t have any experience owning my own business. I barely had any good work experience.But now... it almost excited me.For the first time in years, the future didn't feel like a prison sentence. It felt like a blank page.If only the present would stop trying to destroy me.Leaving Naomi's apartment had become nearly impossible.Every morning brought another headline about me.Another blurry photograph that made it look like I was fraternizing with men.Another fabricated story about the multiple affairs I'd

[Ethan Blake]My behavior could be considered suspicious.It really did come off as a man suddenly switching up his personality. But I am not like that.There’s a reason why I’m acting so strangely.First of all, I wasn’t that surprised that Isabella wanted to leave, but she was choosing a quaint small town that had nothing going for her. She would struggle the whole way, and I wanted none of that for her.Secondly, I’d heard back from the team I set to look into the Cole family and Isabella’s mother.The latter, I have yet to read what they sent on her. I had to put that aside when I was informed that Daniel and Selena planned to really punish Isabella for her crimes. They truly hated her more than I had ever known.They were angry she exposed their secret to Julian; they didn’t like that she was the one who filed for divorce— which they had only discovered a day before my team contacted me. Basically, every single thing this woman did was put under a harsh lens by the two of them.I
The Forgotten Wife's Comeback //Ch 66//
[Isabella Hayes]I don’t think I have the emotional strength for this stupid city.Why am I being blamed for something I didn’t even do? I logged out of my socials. I’ve blocked everyone from my former life, so why?I didn’t do anything. The divorce shouldn’t even be public knowledge. This is all Adrian’s fault.For posting that goddamn picture. It’s like he couldn’t wait to add more humiliation to my plate, and now look at the mess he’s created?Who’s paying for it? Me, obviously. No one is asking why the same woman Adrian was photographed with over one month ago was wearing a wedding ring. No, the most important thing is blaming me and calling me a failure of a wife.God, I hate this suffocating town.Ethan was right. Fading away isn’t going to do anything. These people are going to drag me to hell and back. Then a few years from now they’ll move on. They won’t remember the harm they brought to my mental health.Olivia will live a happy life while I remain the fool who wanted to lea
The Forgotten Wife's Comeback //Ch 65//
[Isabella Hayes]Ethan asked me to stay the rest of the day. I couldn’t say no because I didn’t want to go back home just yet.I figured I’d stay for a couple of hours, get some break from the public scrutiny. I know for a fact things are going to get worse. That’s just how these things happen when someone falls from a high social standing.In this stupid city? I’m not going to be shocked if they start throwing things at me in public.The sun had set long ago; Ethan and I were watching celebrity news and drinking some fancy white wine. My head was woozy; I’d had two cups, and being a lightweight meant that I was screwed for the rest of the night.I blew a breath and began swirling the liquid in the cup. The screen flickered onto the next celebrity information, and the moment my face came on… I knew what was about to happen.But before the woman could begin talking about me, the speaker icon appeared, and a slash was dragged across it.My neck craned slightly to the man sitting on the

[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

[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
