The Great Wives Escape Chapter 10
Three months later, while I was home working on a design draft, Kai suddenly returned, though he should've been at the office.At first, I thought he was doing another one of his surprise home checks to make sure I hadn't vanished again.Ever since the last time I left, Kai had grown unusually clingy.Back when he worked at the company, he used to send me a barrage of messages during his breaks. I'd reply when I saw them, and even if I responded late, he wouldn't mind. He'd just keep spamming me with cute, clingy stickers.But now, things were different. His messages came more frequently, and if I didn't reply quickly enough, he'd come rushing home.I still remembered the first time he barged into my studio. I looked up in shock and asked if something had happened.He walked straight over and pulled me into a tight embrace."You didn't respond… I thought you'd left again."That's when I realized just how deeply my disappearing act had traumatized him.So after that, I simply s
The Great Wives Escape Chapter 9
At last, everything made sense.When that woman revealed her identity, it was both unexpected and somehow within reason.Lex's father, Henry Rangoon, was a scumbag through and through. In his younger days, he surrounded himself with mistresses, while Lex's mother, already in poor health, endured it in silence. One day, a mistress came to provoke her at home and ended up pushing her down the stairs.She suffered severe head trauma. After three days in the ICU, she passed away.At the time, Lex was away at university in another city. His father concealed everything from him and protected the mistress.When Lex returned and learned the truth, he tried to report the incident to the police. Instead, Henry threw him out and cut off all financial support. The reason? The mistress was pregnant, and rumor had it the child was a boy.Lex endured in silence for years. Eventually, he turned the tide. Not only did he start his own company, he went on to acquire the original Rangoon Ventures.

After our openly honest conversation, every last trace of doubt in my heart finally vanished. As I looked at Kai, I suddenly noticed how much weight he'd lost.I'd acted too impulsively. Faking my death might have seemed like a bold move, but the pain I'd caused him was far too great.My eyes welled with tears, and I threw myself into his arms."Kai… I'm so sorry."This time, Kai completely broke down.The powerful CEO of the Huxley Ventures was now sobbing like a child. "Carrie, I was so scared… I can't believe you didn't trust me…"He was twenty-six this year, and seeing him cry like this was both heartbreaking and—if I'm honest—a little funny. But I still ached for him.From the day we met, I'd known he was a soft-hearted crybaby. And this time, it really was my fault. I had misunderstood him and then gone to such an extreme. It must have shattered him.I sat up, and he instinctively adjusted his position, nestling his head into the crook of my neck.Looking at his red nose
The Great Wives Escape Chapter 7
Rachel was swayed by my words, and the two of us decided to return to the courtyard house.The moment we stood up from the bench, we noticed several bodyguards following close behind.It wasn't hard to guess who had sent them.From a distance, we could already see the two men standing side by side at the courtyard gate. Briana was nowhere to be seen.As soon as they caught sight of us, both of their eyes lit up.Rachel, still sulking, ignored Lex and brushed past him into the house, firmly shutting the door behind her to keep him out.Kai looked at me with a pleading expression, silently begging for forgiveness.Unfortunately, even though I was willing to believe him, Briana's unexpected appearance had left a lingering shadow in my heart."We'll return to Laguna City tomorrow. Whatever needs to be said can wait till then."With that, I stepped inside, leaving him standing in the courtyard.Early the next morning, I boarded the Huxley family's private jet with a weary face.K

Who was that?I turned toward the voice.Standing at the gate of the courtyard was Briana, dressed in a flowing white dress with flawless makeup, waving at us with a bright smile.What was she doing here?I instinctively glanced at Kai. His expression mirrored my surprise.I hadn't bothered to close the gate when we entered earlier. Briana walked in as if she belonged here, completely at ease.She came to stand beside me, her face full of innocent concern as she looked toward Kai."Kai, so this is why you rushed out of the hotel. You spotted Carrie! You told me that day she was here, but I didn't believe you. So it turns out Carrie was just throwing a tantrum all along."Then she turned to me, her eyes brimming with sympathy."Carrie, Kai has been looking everywhere for you. You've been far too willful this time. He's been juggling work while searching for you every day. It breaks my heart just watching him."Her words were packed with insinuation, and my brows knitted in fru

His expression was firm, and not at all like someone lying.Strangely, I began to doubt my own judgment.I looked at him, suspicion still lingering in my eyes."Are you just refusing to admit it? You brought Briana into the company and even bought her a luxury car."And Lex—he has a four-year-old illegitimate daughter. That's longer than he's even been married to Rachel. Neither of you are any good!"My words seemed to catch Kai off guard. He choked for a moment, his reply stammering."N-No! It's not like that, Carrie! What gave you that idea? About Briana? And about an illegitimate daughter?"His reaction looked a lot like guilt, but after all these years, I knew him better than anyone.Kai in public and Kai in private were like two different people.Out there, he was the successful young CEO, polished and charming. But behind closed doors, he liked to act spoiled around me—so much so that whenever I questioned him, he'd get flustered and start stammering. He couldn't lie to
