(Patricia’s POV)

Mason pulled his arm away so fast that I lost my balance and fell to the ground, hitting my knee on the tiled floor.

“Ouch,” I winced in pain.

Raymond’s head snapped toward me immediately. The moment he saw me on the floor, his eyes burned with anger and his jaw tightened.

His fist clenched hard... and before I knew it, his hand shot forward and slammed straight into Mason’s face.

“How dare you hurt her?!” he yelled, rage pouring out of him as his fist connected with Mason’s l

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Final Chapter: Peace at Last

    (Patricia's POV)The warm smell of potato soup drifted from the kitchen, filling the air. It had become my favorite dish lately."Hmmm... so delicious," I said, inhaling deeply as I stepped into the kitchen.Raymond stood by the stove, wearing an apron, a spoon in his hand, stirring the pot like cooking was his full-time job.A sweet smile spread across my lips as I folded my arms and leaned against the wall, just watching him.It wasn’t the first time he had cooked for me. In fact, ever since he learned I was craving potato soup, he always made time to cook it. But every time I saw him in that apron, my craving grew even stronger. I couldn’t tell if I wanted the food… or him. He looked unbelievably hot."I didn’t know you were back already," I finally said, my voice soft, with a smile.Raymond turned immediately, surprised to see me. He hadn’t realized I’d been standing there for a while.His face lit up with a wide smile as he lowered the spoon.“You were asleep when I got home,” he

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 140: You Lost Me Once

    (Patricia's POV)Sabrina stood by the door, her eyes filled with something I couldn’t understand. She played with her fingers nervously, like someone unsure of what to say. Did she really follow me in here?She had called me by my middle name. Not Mrs. Addison. Not even Mrs. Salvador. Why had she addressed me so casually? We were not close. Or… could it be..?No... There was no way she was here because she already knew I was her daughter. Maybe this was about the recent challenge her family company was facing. Since Henry could no longer approach me, maybe she had come herself.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart, and turned back to face the mirror.“Hello, Mrs. Wilton,” I greeted, my tone calm and distant.“H-how… are you doing?” she asked, her voice trembling.My eyes narrowed slightly in surprise. Why was she being so informal today? I watched her through the mirror and noticed how nervous she looked.“I… I heard about Alonso,” she began, her voice unsteady, “and a

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 139: Unfinished Bonds

    (Patricia’s POV)A month passed by in the blink of an eye, yet everything felt different. Life had not been the same since I discovered who my real parents were. I stayed away from the Smithfield Empire, not wanting anything to do with Mr. Smith, my supposed late father. I hadn’t gone to see Mrs. Sabrina Wilton either. There was no reason to. She had abandoned me back then, so why should I go looking for her now? Besides, she might not even know who I truly was... and even if she did, she might still not want me.Raymond had been my backbone through it all. His gunshot wound was healing well, and he had recovered greatly. He could walk properly now and had even returned to work, though he was careful not to stress his injury. He was the best man I could ever ask for. He understood my pain and was always there to support me. He told me he would stand by whatever decision I made... whether I chose to return to Smithfield or to speak with Sabrina.He also made sure Alonso received t

    (Lucy’s POV)“Mason, please don’t go. We are still your family, and we love you,” my mum cried, clinging to his leg.“Yes, Mason,” my dad added, his voice shaking. “We were wrong, and we have learned our lessons. Please don’t go. Don’t leave us.”“Don’t come any closer to me!” Mason snapped, his voice sharp, his eyes red with anger. “You have completely ruined my life.”My mum broke down even harder at his words. My dad, however, turned to look at me with sad, pleading eyes, silently asking me to step in, to join them and beg Mason to stay.But I just stood there by the doorway, watching everything unfold. I couldn’t interfere. I was too broken myself to step in.Everything that had happened to my family in just one year was something I never imagined could happen. We had lost everything... our money, our power, and even our values.Our family name, once respected and admired, had been dragged through the mud. It became a joke in the city. No one wanted anything to do with us anymore.

    (Patricia’s POV)Gold bars worth twice the value of the company were neatly arranged inside the safe. Some documents lay in one corner. Just one glance at them told me they were extremely important.There were other valuables too, but only one thing caught my attention… a photograph of Mr. Smith with Mrs. Wilton, Henry’s adoptive mother... the same woman whose picture I had once seen at the orphanage.Mr. Smith and that woman looked genuinely happy and oddly close in the picture, almost like they were a couple. My brows furrowed immediately.“Were they together?” I murmured in shock.I had heard that Mr. Wilton and Mr. Smith were friends in the past. But this woman was Mr. Wilton’s wife. Did she date Smith first, or were they having an affair?Why would Smith keep this picture locked inside his safe? Was he still in love with her? Since Mr. Smith never married, could it be that he loved another man’s wife?Was this the reason the two friends drifted apart and became enemies? That sing
