The Wife He Loves to Hate CHAPTER 110: THE THINGS MOMMY DOESN’T KNOW
The first thing I learned about being a mother was that mornings could be surprisingly cruel. Not because Charlotte was difficult. She wasn’t. The problem was that everyone else seemed to know exactly what they were doing, while I stood in the middle of her bedroom holding a hairbrush like it was a foreign object. “Mommy, that’s not the one.” I looked down at the brush in my hand, then at the three others scattered across Charlotte’s dressing table. “Then which one is it, sweetheart?” “The purple one.” I picked up the purple brush. Charlotte shook her head. “Not that purple one. The other purple one.” I stared at the brushes. There were two purple brushes. Of course there were. “Right,” I murmured. “The other purple one.” From the doorway, Liam made a suspicious sound that might have been a cough if I were feeling generous. I turned my head slowly. “Are you laughing at me?” “Not at all.” “Your face says otherwise.” “My face is innocent.” “Your face is a terrible l

“Mommy?” Charlotte’s voice came from the staircase. I lifted my head just as she appeared, wearing pink pajamas and carrying a stuffed rabbit by one ear. “Hello, sweetheart.” She hurried toward us, climbing onto the sofa beside me. Liam moved his laptop out of her way, making room for her small body between us. “Did you finish your work?” I asked. “Almost.” “Almost?” “I still have to read one page for school.” “And have you brushed your teeth?” Charlotte’s eyes widened. I narrowed mine. “Charlotte Montgomery.” “I’m going!” she squeaked, scrambling off the sofa. Liam chuckled as she ran toward the bathroom. “You sound like a mother already.” I looked at him. “Was that supposed to be a compliment?” “The highest one I can offer.” I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t stop smiling. A few minutes later, Charlotte returned with her toothbrush tucked into the pocket of her pajama top, clearly proud of herself. “Teeth brushed,” she announced. “Excellent. Now, what do you nee
The Wife He Loves to Hate Chapter 108: The Man Who Didn’t Ask Questions
Liam was in the living room when I arrived home.His tie had been loosened, and his laptop rested open on the coffee table. He looked up when I entered, his gaze moving briefly over my face.“Hey, Abby.”“Hey.”He closed his laptop.“Long day?”“A little.”He studied me for another moment, but he didn’t ask where I’d been or why I looked distracted.That was something I was beginning to appreciate about him. He could be curious without making his curiosity feel like a demand.I put my bag down and sat beside him.“I saw Finn.”Liam’s expression grew still.“Today?”“Outside the foundation building.”He nodded once. “All right.”I turned toward him.“That’s all you’re going to say?”“What would you like me to say?”“I don’t know. Something.”A faint smile touched his mouth.“Do you want me to ask what he said?”“Maybe.”“Then what did he say?”I leaned back against the sofa.“He apologized. He admitted that he made me feel as though I wasn’t enough. He said he had tried to find me afte
The Wife He Loves to Hate CHAPTER 107: THE APOLOGY I NEVER ASKED FOR
I thought the past would feel heavier when it finally stood in front of me.I thought seeing Finn Wilson again would bring back the girl I had been at twenty—the girl who had loved him, trusted him, and believed that the future was something she could plan with him.Instead, when I saw him standing outside the foundation building that afternoon, all I felt was exhaustion.Not anger. Not longing.Just exhaustion.“Abigail.”Finn straightened when he noticed me. He looked as though he had been waiting for quite some time, his hands buried in the pockets of his wool coat.I stopped a few feet away from him.“I told you I didn’t want any more personal messages.”“I know.” His gaze dropped briefly. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have sent you that photograph.”“You shouldn’t have sent it.”“I know.”I almost laughed at the repetition. There had been a time when I would have searched his face for an explanation, desperate to understand why he had done something that hurt me.Now, I simply wanted h
The Wife He Loves to Hate Chapter 106: A Future That Belongs to Us
Liam was waiting for me when I stepped into the penthouse that evening. He stood near the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, his tailored suit jacket draped casually over one arm as he reviewed something on his phone. The exact second he heard my heels click against the marble foyer, he slipped the device into his pocket and turned to face me. “How was your afternoon at the office, Abby?” he asked, his deep voice instantly grounding my senses. “Productive,” I replied, stepping out of my heels. “Julian brought the revised structural plans, offered a sincere apology for his sister's outburst, and shared a few more historical details regarding Finn.” Liam’s sharp jaw subtly tightened at the mention of the name. “More details?” I walked into the living room, smoothing down my skirt. “Apparently, Finn spent years actively searching for news about my whereabouts after I vanished. Stella lived through every single day of that search.” Liam remained motionless, analyzing my fa
The Wife He Loves to Hate Chapter 105: I WAS NEVER YOURS
My mind kept circling back to Stella Bennett. For a decade, she had lived under the shadow of a phantom. She had tried to build a relationship with Finn while constantly competing against a lingering memory she could never erase. I could understand the quiet, insidious torture of that existence. I could feel the tragedy of her situation. But understanding her pain did not mean I was obligated to accept her blame. I hadn't forced Finn to measure her against me. I hadn't asked him to search for news about my whereabouts while holding her in his arms, nor had I encouraged him to send me private photographs from a dead childhood romance. Those were his choices. Cold, selfish, and cowardly choices. Stella had made her own choices, too. She had chosen to step into a relationship built on broken trust, hoping she could change a man who was incapable of giving her his full heart. A soft, polite knock at the door broke my spiraling thoughts. “Come in,” I called out, clearing my throat.
