The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 91: The Attendant
Carter's POVI hadn't planned to come back to The Hill Top Imperial Hotel. In fact, for the past five plus years, I had actively avoided the street it stood on.Yet I couldn'tget those words that Ashley had said that night I confronted her drunk out of my head. ‘You had seen what someone wanted you to see.’ So here I was at ten the next morning, sitting in the hotel lobby with a cup of coffee I wasn't drinking.The last time I was here was on that horrible night. I wasn't here to find out if Maya was lying or not.I was here to find out if my suspicions were correct about who had set the whole thing up.I didn't even know how to start asking my questions. It had been five whole years, after all. They would think I was crazy.Abandoning my tepid coffee, I got up and made my way to the front desk. This shouldn't be too difficult. I was one of the stakeholders of the hotel after all.I approached a friendly looking woman who was already smiling at me before I even got to the desk."Mr
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 90: A Friend of Brooke's
Maya's POV“Is everything okay, ma’am?” Austin asked me.I shook myself out of my stupor. “Yes, it has just been a long morning,” I replied.I picked up the wax pendant I had been working on, but my mind was still in turmoil.I was wrong about him. He wasn't protecting the Millers.Instead, he had been actively working behind the scenes to get them behind bars.What was his sudden interest in helping me about? And what did he want in return?I had no answer to either question.Sitting down at the jeweler's bench, I picked up the wax pendant I had been working on.For several minutes, I lost myself in the work. God, I loved my job so much.Doing it gave me such immense peace.The desk phone soon rang, interrupting the solitude.‘Ms. Thompson?" It was the receptionist downstairs. "I'm sorry to bother you. There's a woman here asking for Ms. Miller. She says she's a friend and is very insistent on seeing Ms. Miller today. Since Ms. Miller reports to you now, I thought to ask you whether
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 89: What the Money Bought
Carter's POVMaya didn't say anything for a long time.I had faced angry board members, hostile investors, and even my own father on his worst days. None of them had ever made my palms sweat or made me as nervous as the woman sitting across from me, pale and silent."Say something, please," I said at last. Her breath was coming in short rasps, and then she asked the last question I expected.“Did you… did you have Whitfield killed?” she whispered, staring at me with wide, slightly terrified eyes.“What?! No, of course not! Maya, how can you even ask me something like that?”She heaved a sigh of relief. “Well, he did die soon after he gave Mom the documents, so I just wondered.”“I had nothing to do with his death. My ways of doing things may not always be considered purely legal, but murder is way too extreme for even me.”She nodded, took a deep breath, and spoke. “So tell me how you managed it. Start at the beginning.""After the gala, you asked me to find out who Whitfield was and
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 88: The Empty Desk
Maya's POVBrooke's desk was empty again, as it had been for the past two days.Her chair was pushed in, showing that she hadn't come in at all.She hadn't even held the job for a week, yet she was already slacking big time. It was no less than I had expected from her.“Where’s Brooke?” I asked Austin.“She called in sick again. It’s the third day in a row that she's done that. Apparently, she has a stomach bug,” he replied, his tone showing that he didn't believe that one bit.Neither did I, but I nodded grimly, accepting the cup of coffee he handed me.In the few days since Brooke had worked here, she had been very fidgety. I thought back to her first day, when she received a message that clearly rattled the hell out of her. She had claimed that she had a family emergency and left, but by the time I reached the parking lot, she was gone.At first, I had waited with bated breath for news that her parents had been arrested.That had to be the so-called family emergency that she was
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Regrets
Carter’s POV"What happened?" I asked quietly.She stepped aside for me to go in before answering. Apparently, since I already saw her bruise, there was no point in hiding it any longer."I was mugged by two men on Friday night outside a restaurant. They grabbed my bag, and I tried to hold on to it. That was foolish of me. They roughed me up a little. That’s all,” she explained."I see. Where's the bag?"She pointed to the table, where a handbag was resting. It was one of her designer bags. To my surprise, the bag was whole. There was a faint stain across the bottom, as if something had spilled on it, but that was all."I got it back. Those bastards ran when I screamed. This city is definitely no longer safe," she said."Did you go to a hospital?""No, I don't need one. It’s not that serious.”"I see. How about a police report? Did you file one""I did, but the police don't care about a stolen purse, Carter. I just want to rest. I'm calling in sick tomorrow, and I'd like to be left a
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 86: The Handover
Carter's POVLeo was quiet the whole drive back to Brooke’s place.He sat in the back seat with his backpack in his lap, watching the streets quietly and responding in a small voice when I tried to get him to talk. “I’ll see you soon again, right, Dad?” he asked when we entered Brooke’s street.“Of course, honey. I’ll pick you up from school myself on Wednesday. You can call me any time, day or night, and I’ll call you all the time as well, okay?”“Promise?”“I promise.”He heaved a heavy sigh of relief and relaxed a little. Soon, we arrived at Brooke’s house.The For Sale sign was gone. It had come down on the very day I agreed to her terms. I shook my head. Well played. Brooke had never intended to sell the house, or move Leo to a cheap apartment, or take him to Europe. The quickness with which the house disappeared from the listings told me so. It had all been a bluff, which I had fallen for and paid for, but I didn't really mind. It was better safe than sorry. Even though he
