The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 141: Beating Julian Into the Ground
Eleanor answered, wary.Julian's voice came through the line, slurred."David, I'm on Larkspur Road..."The first word "David" threw her completely.Then it clicked. Wrong call. Not meant for her at all.She strained to hear the rest, but his voice cut in and out. Something in the way he sounded unsteady, shaking set off alarm bells.Night pressed down on the road as the white 3 Series tore back onto it, dust rising behind her.Larkspur Road sat nearly empty at this hour.Eleanor had assumed finding him would be hard, she hadn't gotten an exact location.She'd underestimated how hard it was to miss an imperial blue Bentley.She'd barely turned onto the road when she spotted it, hazards blinking, pulled onto the shoulder.She parked, crossed to the driver's side, knocked."Julian?"He didn't answer. She opened the door herself.Alcohol hit her instantly, thick enough to make her cough.He sat slumped back, eyes closed.No seatbelt whether he'd never buckled it or torn it loose, she cou
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 140: Having a Relationship With Her
Scarlinda's soft violin music carried on, unbothered.Julian sat alone at the table.Nothing across from him.His hair, face, and the custom suit he'd worn specifically tonight were all soaked through.Someone had thrown a full glass of wine at him.That someone had already stormed out.He wiped his face with a napkin and kept eating, expression unreadable.His phone rang. Tyler.The basement bar at The Grand Hollister Hotel.The second Julian walked in, he spotted a full whiskey tower in front of Cassandra. Tyler sat beside her, clearly trying to keep her from doing something she'd regret.Not far off, Zhao and a few of his friends were loudly entertaining their dates, none of it especially tasteful."Julian"Tyler spotted him first, pulled him over to the table."Sister Julian's here..."He leaned in to murmur it to Cassandra, who shoved him off."Who's your sister?! I'm not Eleanor's his wife, his actual wife on paper... What am I, then? Some idiot whose feelings got toyed with? Fi
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 139: We Don't Need to Get Divorced
Diane's scolding only deepened Cassandra's sense of grievance.The last time her mother had sat her down for a long talk, drugging Julian had come up.Cassandra had refused.Partly because she still believed in herself believed Julian would eventually be unable to resist her.Back in high school, dating him, he'd never touched her.He'd said they were too young, that he wanted to protect what they had.Now, years later, he still hadn't touched her.She'd tried everything subtle, obvious, every signal she could send. She'd even moved into his place for a stretch. He'd still refused to share a room with her.Climbing into his bed herself felt like crossing a line she couldn't take back, too desperate, too cheap.Which meant, after all this time, there'd never once been anything physical between them.The anxiety of that gnawed at her constantly.She hadn't dared take the medication, though.She knew Julian too well.Sharp enough to catch something like that instantly, and even if the dr
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 138: Getting Pregnant
She'd been outed.The whole internet knew nowJulian Cross's wife was Eleanor Hale.Eleanor hadn't even made it into her own building security had to pull her out of the swarm of reporters and marketing accounts crowding the sidewalk.Before starting her car, she pulled out her phone.Sure enough, her name dominated every feed."Radiance's rising star Eleanor Hale is secretly a tycoon's wife?!""Julian Cross confirmed married to designer Eleanor Hale.""Rising jewelry star backed by Cross Group all along?""Power match or perfect cover-up? Cross Group officially confirms its 'mistress.'""Industry titan and emerging talent turns out they were family from the start."Overnight, every corner of the internet had picked up the same story.There'd been a version of this rumor before built off one blurry photo and speculation, nothing more. Julian hadn't confirmed or denied it, and it had died the way these things always did. The internet forgot fast; trending topics churned over in hours.
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 137: The Signed Divorce Agreement
Eleanor took the package in hand.A plain paper envelope, just the right thickness for three copies of a divorce agreement.She didn't open it at the office. Waited until she got home.Late that night, the old row house on Willow Street sat lit from within.Eleanor settled at her desk and pulled the contents free.DIVORCE AGREEMENT, bold across the top.She flipped through page by page.Her memory held up well enough she remembered the last version clearly. This one matched it almost exactly, at least at the start.Which meant, despite the long delay, Julian hadn't buried anything new in the fine print this time.Then she reached the part that had actually changed.As expected, something was different.Not in the direction she'd expected, though.He'd kept the ten-percent stake transfer. But the conditions attached had multiplied far more restrictive than before.Most notably: she was explicitly barred from ever transferring that ten percent again. Not as a gift. Not for sale. Permane
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 136: I Sent You the Divorce Papers
Pretending to be young.Derek startled.He hadn't expected himself to land on that particular read of Cassandra."Derek, don't just stare at me like that!"She tugged his sleeve, playing it coy.He snapped out of it. "I do know Miranda. What is it you want?""I'd love for her to shoot me too get a spot in the magazine... think that's possible?"Her confidence dropped with every word, deliberate.She knew exactly how Derek responded to vulnerability."Why not ask Julian?"Cassandra looked up at him, genuinely caught off guard.Something about Derek felt different lately.The old version of him would never have questioned her like this.He used to just do whatever she asked, no hesitation, whenever she wanted it."I... wanted to try leaning on you for once. Is that not allowed?"She blinked up at him, wide-eyed."Of course it's allowed."Watching him soften, Cassandra let out a quiet breath of relief.She hadn't gone to Julian because she already had, once before.He'd introduced her to
