The Wife He Loves to Hate CHAPTER 79: THE WINNER
“Even if those specific projections are technically accurate,” Felicia argued smoothly, “you are still overlooking one major operational issue.” She turned her attention toward Liam. “Montgomery International is already carrying significant international exposure. Expanding further right now could dilute the firm's core focus.” Liam finally spoke, his deep voice slicing through the air: “My wife isn’t proposing expansion without safeguards, Felicia.” His voice was calm—almost too calm, carrying an underlying edge of pure steel. Felicia met his gaze, her tone dropping into calculated provocation. “I am merely questioning whether emotional considerations are influencing executive governance here.” The atmosphere in the room turned sub-zero. I knew exactly what she was doing. She was no longer challenging the financial data; she was challenging my right to sit at this table. I closed my laptop terminal with a quiet, decisive snap. “Then let’s make something abundantly clear,
The Wife He Loves to Hate CHAPTER 78: THE FIRST VICTORY
The first thing I noticed when I walked into the Montgomery International boardroom was Felicia Brooke. The second thing I noticed was the smile on her face. It wasn’t warm. It wasn’t welcoming. It was the calculated, effortless smile of a woman who believed she already owned the room. She sat three seats away from Liam, dressed in an impeccably tailored ivory suit, a sleek tablet resting on the polished mahogany in front of her. Today was her first official meeting as a strategic advisory member of the board—a position Louisa had helped secure, and a position Felicia had clearly been waiting for. I took the seat beside Liam at the head of the oval table and placed my leather portfolio in front of me. Liam leaned closer, his familiar cedarwood scent wrapping around my senses. “Ready, Abby?” I glanced across the table, meeting Felicia’s eyes with a cool, steady gaze. “Absolutely.” The corner of his mouth lifted into a faint smirk. “That sounded dangerous.” “I learned fr
The Wife He Loves to Hate CHAPTER 77: NO ANOTHER CHOICE
He pressed a warm kiss to my temple. "There was never another choice, Abby." I turned slightly in his arms to look up at his sharp profile. "You know what’s strange?" "What?" "For ten missing years, I thought wealth and power meant having everything." A faint smile touched his lips. "And now?" I placed my hand flat over his chest, feeling the steady, heavy thud beneath his shirt. "Now I know I was wrong." He pulled me closer, his arms tightening around me. "What do you have now?" I smiled softly up at him. "You." His dark eyes held mine with intense, unyielding devotion. "And you have me." I closed my eyes and rested against his warmth. For once, I didn’t think about the ten missing years. I didn’t think about Edward Fox, Felicia Brooke, or Louisa Montgomery. I simply listened to Liam’s heartbeat—steady, warm, and real. The next morning, while Liam was occupied in his private study on an urgent call with his legal counsel, I sat at the marble kitchen island with my coffee a
The Wife He Loves to Hate CHAPTER 76: THE OUR FIGHT
I watched Liam pack his belongings into a leather suitcase. For some reason, the sight hurt more than I expected. The Montgomery family estate was enormous—an ancient, sprawling manor that had belonged to his lineage for generations, filled with oil portraits, priceless antiques, and decades of high-society history. And now he was walking away from it. For me. "Liam..." I murmured softly from the doorway. He folded another shirt and placed it inside the suitcase. "Hmm?" "You don’t have to do this." He paused and looked at me, his dark eyes steady, deep, and unyielding. "I know." "You’re really leaving all of this behind?" "Yes." He zipped the suitcase shut with a sharp, decisive sound that echoed through his childhood bedroom. "Your mother gave you a terrible ultimatum, Lee." "I know." "And you’re choosing me over an empire." Liam walked across the room until he stood directly in front of me. "I already chose you a long time ago, Abby." My eyes burned with
The Wife He Loves to Hate CHAPTER 75: HE CHOOSES ME
My breath caught in my throat. Louisa’s composed mask finally cracked, her expression hardening with pure shock. "You would choose her over your family?" Liam’s eyes remained steady. "She is my family." A heavy silence settled over the room. Then Louisa stood up slowly from the velvet sofa. "If you continue down this path, you will lose your position." Liam didn’t flinch. "Then so be it." "You don’t understand what you’re saying!" "I understand perfectly." Louisa turned, walking toward the grand floor-to-ceiling windows. "When Felicia came to me, she showed me a structural path that could strengthen Montgomery International." I felt my stomach twist into a cold knot. "There it is." Louisa turned around sharply. "What?" "Felicia," I stepped forward beside Liam. "She wants access to Liam’s company." Louisa’s expression hardened. "She wants to protect the Montgomery legacy." "By convincing you that I’m the problem?" "By reminding me that the company cannot survive another pu
The Wife He Loves to Hate CHAPTER 74: THE ULTIMATUM
The emergency call came before sunrise. I was still half-asleep when Liam’s phone rang against the nightstand. He answered on the first chime, his deep voice immediately sharp with alert discipline. "Mother?" His voice immediately changed. The warmth from the night before disappeared, replaced by the cold, disciplined tone he used whenever something threatened our family. I pushed myself upright, watching him closely. "What happened, Lee?" A long silence followed. Liam’s jaw tightened. "No." Another pause. "We are in the Maldives, Mother." His eyes flicked toward me. "I understand." Another heavy silence stretched across the line. Then his expression hardened into pure stone. "Today?" My stomach tightened into a hard, cold knot. Liam listened for several seconds before finally speaking with icy finality: "We’ll be there." He ended the call, setting the device down on the nightstand with a sharp click. I stared at him, my pulse racing. "What happened?" "My mother wants us i
