The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 79: Eyes in the stands
Brooke's POVThe stands were packed full of people. I found Carter in the third row, scrolling through his phone with a woman sitting beside him, and obviously flirting with him. All I had to do was give her my signature murderous look, and she scampered away, murmuring apologies.I sat in the seat she just vacated and fixed Carter with an accusatory look."You've been avoiding me," I said in a low voice.He sighed heavily. "Not here, Brooke, please, and what you just did was rude. That woman was here first.""Where then? You said we had a deal, but you've been silent since then. Where's my first payment? And what's happening with my parents' company? Your people haven't even called," I said, ignoring his comment about the flirting whore."You do know that I can use this against you in court, don't you? You’re trying to get me to pay you for the child. That’s illegal.”My blood ran cold. God, I couldn't stand this man. “Oh, that’s how you want to do it? Well, be my guest. Have at it.
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 78: The unfriendly man
Brooke's POVI had always hated school events. I hated the plastic chairs, hated listening to and watching dumb, screaming kids do stupid stuff and pretend they were amazing.I also hated the overzealous teachers, and last but not least, I hated the other moms who tried to outcompete each other for who was best dressed.None of them could ever top me when it came to fashion sense anyway, and it was an insult to me that they even bothered to try.Today, unfortunately, I had no choice but to attend the stupid Family Sports Day that Leo’s school had organized.Carter would be there, and I needed to see him desperately.He never missed anything involving Leo, so the event was a good place to catch him.He had agreed to my demands, that is, the company takeover and the increased allowance, days ago.Because of this, I had generously allowed him to have Leo for a few days uninterrupted.Yet, till now, I hadn't gotten a single cent. It was beginning to feel like he was trying to insult my i
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir The illusion shatters
Carter's POVI hadn't known she planned on going anywhere that night, and neither had I ever seen her drive so recklessly before.Since I knew she wasn't in the best frame of mind, I immediately started dialling her number.She didn't pick up. Crap! I tried to follow her, but she drove by so fast that I lost her.I kept trying her number, hoping she would stop so I could meet her, and we could talk about this.The last thing I wanted was for her to get into an accident or hurt herself on my account. But all my calls went unanswered.While I sat there worried and wondering what to do, a message from an unknown number came into my phone.It was a simple message, with a hotel name and a room number, and one short line that sent chills down my spine.Go and see for yourself what your wife is up to.Why on earth would Maya go to a hotel, especially at this time of night? Maya never ever left the house by this time. It didn’t make any sense, except I had watched her drive past me less than
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 76: The longest walk
Carter's POVThe longest walk of my life had to be the one from Maya's porch to the end of her street, where my driver was waiting.I couldn't get those two words out of my head. My man. She had called Lucas her man. I had known, of course, that there was something between them. I had seen Lucas's face in her studio when he caught me kissing her. That kiss had made him do what no one had ever dared to do… punch me in the face. Besides, they shared a child. Still, I had let myself believe that whatever was between them wasn't serious.I mean, they didn't live together, right? If they were serious, they would be living together. But apparently, I was wrong.Hearing Maya say those words out loud, with her head on his shoulder, while talking about me disrespecting her man, hurt in a way I hadn't expected.I had never felt so jealous of another man in my entire life. Lucas had everything I wished I had.He was her man… her son’s father and the man who got to read him bedtime stories an
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 75: Her Man
Maya's POVThe engine cut off, and the headlights died. I heard the car door slam in the sudden darkness.A few seconds later, Lucas strode up the path in long, quick steps.His coat was open, his tie loose, and his phone was gripped in his hand. He stopped at the foot of the porch and looked at me, then at Carter.Lastly, he looked at the small space I had deliberately left between us, and disappointment clouded his features.I fought the urge to fidget, feeling like an underage girl whose father had just caught her making out with a boy he had warned her about.The disappointment on Lucas’s face soon turned to irritation, and then exasperation, but all those emotions were directed at Carter, not at me.I got up in confusion. What was going on tonight?"Lucas? What are you doing here? It's quite late," I asked him.He ran a hand through his hair, and relief crossed his features. "I know. I've been calling you for the past forty minutes. You didn't pick up. Then I called your mom, but
The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir Chapter 74: Rewriting the Past
Maya's POVFor a long while, neither of us said anything.It had gotten even colder now, and I wrapped my arms around myself, waiting for him to make a move to leave. He didn't. In fact, it looked like he wanted to say something else, but was hesitant to broach the topic.I kept my eyes on the dark street and my hands folded in my lap, wondering if it would be rude to tell him I was tired and wanted to go to bed.Then I wondered why I cared whether he thought I was rude."Can I say something about the past?" he asked suddenly."Um, I don't think that's a good idea. The past should remain in the past."He clearly didn't hear my reply, or perhaps he wasn't expecting one, because he continued talking anyway. The alcohol had made his voice softer, slower."What went wrong with us, Maya? Things were good between us, weren't they? You used to wait up for me to get back from work. We'd have dinner together, and talk about everything and nothing. I remember thinking... I remember thinking we
