(Patricia's POV)

The car stopped in front of a huge and luxurious mansion. It was three times bigger than the house I once shared with Mason. Everything shouted old money and prestige.

“Are you ready, ma’am?” James asked from the passenger seat, his voice warm and soft.

Ready? I was nowhere near ready. My life had changed in a few hours. We’d driven straight from the hospital to the late Mr. Smith’s house... the house I apparently owned now. Mr. Smith had left everything to me. Everything. How could I ever be ready?

I didn’t tell James that. I simply nodded. He climbed out and hurried to open the back door for me.

As soon as I stepped down, heads bowed. People in different uniforms stood in line before the mansion, and a red carpet ran from where I stood to the front door. The whole place was decorated with flowers, as if a lost princess had returned.

My heart melted. I never thought I’d have a place like this. Not in this life. I never guessed fate had such plans for me. T

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 122: They Came Begging

    (Patricia’s POV) We were all ready to leave for the fun park. Julie’s little hand was tightly holding mine as we stepped out of the house. Her face was glowing with excitement. I was excited too. Raymond was taking us out for a family outing. The moment the driver saw us walking toward the car, he hurried forward, ready to open the door and drive us. “Don’t worry,” Raymond said calmly, stopping him. “I’ll drive my family to the park myself.” A warm smile spread across my lips when I heard that. I always loved it when Raymond drove us. There was something attractive about him behind the wheel. “Drive safely, sir,” the driver said respectfully as he stepped aside and handed the keys to Raymond. Julie climbed into the car and settled comfortably in the back seat. Raymond then opened the front passenger door for me. I smiled at his gentlemanly gesture and murmured a soft, “Thank you.” He was always like this... consistent. He always opened the door for me and made sure I was settl

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 121: Our Quiet World

    (Patricia’s POV)“Ohh, Raymond,” I groaned softly, lost in the pleasure.“You like it, huh?” he murmured, his voice low and husky.I swallowed hard and nodded, my hands tightening around his neck. I enjoyed every moment. I loved the way he made love to me.“Fas-ter… please,” I whispered.I loved Raymond. He was very attentive and always listened to me. He pulled me closer and increased his pace, moving faster but still gentle. I couldn’t hold back anymore and found myself moaning uncontrollably.After a short while, my breathing became uneven and my eyes rolled back. I was close... so close. Lost in my own world, I could hear Raymond moaning too. His soft sounds felt like music in my ears. He moved faster, and I knew he was close as well.He thrust a few more times, and that was when I reached my peak. He released a deep breath, and I felt the warmth as he finally relaxed too.He lay beside me and pulled me into his arms. We were both breathing hard, trying to catch our breath.This w

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 120: No Bail Money

    (Mason’s POV)“So?” I asked, my voice filled with hope, my eyes searching their faces, desperate for good news. “How did it go?”No one answered. My mum lowered her head, suddenly avoiding my eyes. Lucy looked close to tears. And my dad? His face fell. Then, slowly and weakly, he shook his head.Their reactions told me everything I needed to know.My strength drained instantly, and I slumped back into my seat, my chest tightening painfully.Did this mean I was going to spend more days here? In jail?I stared at the chains around my wrists, my heart twisting in agony. If they couldn’t afford the bail, did that mean I would stay here until the case was decided? Even if it took one year… or two?That thought alone shattered me.I couldn’t believe how fast everything had fallen apart. It felt like my life was collapsing right in front of me, like I was trapped in a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.How did everything happen so quickly?My heart was still bleeding from the truth about Lia

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 119: Timing the Final Move

    (Patricia’s POV)“You can’t do this, ma’am. The shareholders won’t be happy about it,” James said, his voice filled with concern.I had just told him about my decision to withdraw from the Medix project, exactly as I had promised Henry the night before. But James strongly opposed it.The Wilton Group and Smithfield Global had been business rivals for years. We competed over everything. Backing out now felt like handing victory to the enemy, and no one liked losing.James wasn’t worried because the company would collapse if we withdrew. He was worried about pride.Winning the project meant more profit, and more profit meant growth. But this was the first and only thing Henry had ever asked of me. I felt he deserved that one win. There would still be other projects for us.“There are other projects coming, James. We can still secure those,” I said calmly, trying to reason with him.“But...”“Please, James, try to understand,” I said, cutting him off. “Henry is like a big brother to me.

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 118: An Unexpected Request

    (Patricia’s POV)“Come on, let’s sit over there,” Henry said softly.He pushed his grandmother’s wheelchair as we moved toward the round table. The moment I realised it was his family’s table, I turned to look at him. Was it really okay for me to sit at the same table with his family?“Don’t worry, Pat. You can sit here with us,” he said gently, as if he already knew the question running through my mind.I smiled and sat down.Just then, Henry’s phone started ringing on the table. The name Alonso flashed across the screen. My heart skipped. It might not be the Alonso I knew, but every time I saw that name, it stirred something uncomfortable inside me.James had said he was in town. And he was most likely the one who dropped those pictures at the cemetery that day. After I told James I saw someone who looked like Alonso, he went to the airport to check the CCTV footage from that day and time. He later confirmed it was truly him.But, I couldn’t understand why Alonso was playing hide-an

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 117: A Resemblance

    (Patricia’s POV)Days had passed, but I didn’t feel any better. I still hadn’t recovered from the pain of the betrayal. Thinking back to how I had gone from one hospital to another, meeting different doctors, wondering why every test result said I was fine, yet I couldn’t conceive.All this time, I didn’t know I had married a monster... someone who put me through years of stress just to protect his ego. What about my dignity? I bore the shame of being called barren by his family and by others, countless times.The betrayal cut deep, but I still tried to move on, just as I had always done. I was grateful for Raymond, who stayed by my side through this difficult period.As expected, Mason was charged with murder, and this could be the end of him if he was found guilty. The reporters, however, wouldn’t leave me alone. They kept asking for my thoughts on the case.I wasn’t even there on the day the incident happened, yet my name was trending alongside his family’s. Because everyone knew I
