When the wedding was disrupted, Lily cried all the way back to the manor.

She leaned on me as I guided her inside. She sounded like she was heart-broken.

Her lovely gown was looking crumpled from being scrunched into the passenger seat of my car. Her makeup was running and her tiara was no longer sitting straight in her hairstyle.

In the drawing room, I said, “Do you want to go upstairs and get changed?”

She retorted, “Why bother? Everything is ruined!” She threw herself down on a

    [David’s POV]When the wedding was disrupted, Lily cried all the way back to the manor.She leaned on me as I guided her inside. She sounded like she was heart-broken.Her lovely gown was looking crumpled from being scrunched into the passenger seat of my car. Her makeup was running and her tiara was no longer sitting straight in her hairstyle.In the drawing room, I said, “Do you want to go upstairs and get changed?”She retorted, “Why bother? Everything is ruined!” She threw herself down on a lounge chair and shucked off her shoes. She tore off the tiara and veil.What was she upset about the most? The public humiliation? The gossip and scandal that will follow? Or, missing out on marrying me, which seems to have been her goal for quite some time now.“Why? Why would that bitch say such a thing, David?” She beat her fist against the arm of the chair. More tears flowed.I fetched her some tissues then sat on the couch opposite her chair, waiting for the sobs to subside. I felt powerl

  • The Perfect Wife Walked Away   Chapter 319: On A New Path

    [Alice’s POV]Everything around me looked blurry, and sound seemed to be coming at me from a long way away.I shook my head, tried to sit up and fell back down against the pillows. My vision quickly cleared. I was in a recovery room, with a nurse in attendance.“Good afternoon, Alice,” she said cheerfully. “Would you care for some hot tea or sparkling mineral water?”“Ah, yes, a cup of tea would be nice, thanks.”I looked down at my body, under the white linen covers. The big baby bump was gone. Under the covers, I felt down my abdomen and my fingertips encountered bandaging.“My… where’s my baby?” I cried.“It’s okay, don’t worry. The baby has been taken to the NICU.”Adam walked into the room and crossed to my bedside. He leaned over and gently kissed my forehead.“You’re awake,” he exclaimed.I tried a smile. “Adam, the baby…?”“He’s doing well,” he said with a grin.“He? I’ve got a little boy?”“A very little boy. Sure, he’s underweight but we knew that. But Alice, he’s perfect!”

    [Alice’s POV]After Adam instructed the director of the board of the Prières clinic, to address all ongoing charges to my account now, things started moving.Before dinner, there was a knock on my door and my oncology specialist, Doctor Ibanez, joined me.“Hello, Alice,” she said, sounding a little contrite. “I’m sorry I didn’t make our morning appointment. I er…”“It’s okay,” I interrupted. “There was a mix-up, that’s all. So, I missed this afternoon’s scheduled operation. How soon can you reschedule it?”She smiled. “I’ve already got you into theater at 11.30 am tomorrow morning.”“That’s marvelous,” I said, even though I had my reservations.While I wasn’t looking forward to facing the surgeon’s scalpel, I was eager to have the whole thing done, so I could move forward.And also, I wanted to meet my baby.“Mr Müller has scheduled a meeting for Doctor Baxter and I, as soon as she arrives from Munich, in the morning. Then we can get you prepped.”“What can I expect, doctor?” I asked.

  • The Perfect Wife Walked Away   Chapter 317: The Highs And The Lows

    [Alice’s POV]When I woke up this morning, I was feeling a little apprehensive about this afternoon’s operation.A caesarian delivery and a hysterectomy. Followed by a full-scale program of radiation and chemotherapy.It was going to be a challenging time. And top of that, there would be a newborn to care for.I had breast-fed Camilla but Professor Baxter warned me that I wouldn’t be able to do that, this time, it would drain too much of my strength and the baby would need supplementing, anyway, to bring it up to a healthy birthweight.A nurse bustled in with a loaded tray, for my breakfast.“Thank-you,” I said, as she left.I considered all the implications of the challenges ahead of me. With any luck, my ovaries would be cancer free and they wouldn’t remove them. So, I won’t be plunged into instant menopause. Yet, I will never have another child. While I felt that two children were enough for any working woman to cope with, in the back of my mind I wondered if Adam would want a biol

  • The Perfect Wife Walked Away   Chapter 316: You Must Demonstrate Compliance

    [Adam’s POV]When Alice challenged Lily, the ceremony fell apart.Lily started crying, David tried to comfort her, the press squad started at a run, heading for the exit to be first to post the scoop, and the minister didn’t know where to look.Alice sat down again, a small satisfied smile curving her mouth.Despite the pandemonium, I had to applaud. Alice was usually so kind toward others, even those who had wronged her. But Lily had caused immense trouble for her, and I think this sly little dig was a long time coming.David rallied first. He had a decision to make. Was he just marrying Lily because he thought she was carrying his child?I guess he was asking himself the same thing because he took Lily by the hand and stalked out of the church. Lily had to almost run to keep up with his longer stride.The minister realized the ceremony had been abandoned and disappeared out the back of the church.As wedding guests began to leave, a man shouldered his way through them, up to the fro

    [Alice’s POV]Saturday is the big day. The wedding.Adam drove me to the entrance of the church, took out my wheelchair and helped me out of the car. As I settled myself into my chair, he got back into the car and went to find a car park.As I waited for him to join me, the wedding guests kept filing into the church. Several people recognized me, and offered polite greetings. Their expressions showed their surprise that I would attend my former husband’s remarriage.Surprised, too, were the press and media hounds gathered at the church steps. This was an event that would dominate all the social platforms and current event news forums for the week – the marriage of handsome billionaire business mogul, David Newcombe, to his beautiful blushing bride.I garnered some pointed attention from reporters and a few cameras flashed. I smiled.Adam and I went into the church together. Feeling mischievous I whispered to him, “Do we sit on the groom’s side, or the bride’s side of the church?”Afte

    [Alice’s POV]“What I see,” David said, enunciating each word, “is that my wife dropped the medicine Lily shouldn’t have taken, from her pocket, and my daughter said you gave it to Lily. Now, Lily, who almost died, is generously excusing you before falling unconscious again.”He glared at me. “Alic
