The Billionaire’s Irresistible Desire.의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

~ISABELLA~“The will isn’t a hassle to read because Late Mr. Belkov made it straight to the point and short. Here, it says that his wife should be given 55 percent of his assets excluding the company. And Adrian Belkov should be given 40 percent including the company. Then late Mr Belkov’s only brother should be given one of his cars. The remaining five percent of Late Mr Belkov’s assets will be given to charity as he demanded,” the lawyer said.Susanna smiled with teary eyes and said softly, “That’s my man.” Then she sighed in satisfaction.For a moment, the room was filled with silence.The kind of silence that felt heavy and deep. Everyone just stared at the lawyer, probably letting the words sink in.I looked at Susanna, and her face made me smile a little. She looked proud, not because of what she got, but because she knew her husband had been fair.There was love in her eyes, even through the tears.It made my chest ache in realization. She missed him so much. I could feel it ju

~ADRIAN~When we all heard a commotion outside, I was the first to rush out before the rest.It sounded like someone was fighting with the security men, and honestly, I was grateful for the distraction.Anything was better than staying in that suffocating living room with Sebastian and his annoying parents.But when I got outside and saw our security men alongside Carlos trying to hold back a furious Ashley, I immediately regretted leaving the room.I stopped a few steps away and sighed, dragging my hand down my face before muttering under my breath, “Could today get any worse?”The day had already been hell.Between the will reading, Sebastian’s family, and Isabella’s presence constantly testing my patience.I didn’t think anything else could make it worse, but of course, Ashley had to show up.Ashley struggled harder, her hair was a mess and her eyes were blazing with anger. “Let me go!” she yelled. “I need to talk to him!”I could already feel the pounding in my head getting worse.

~ISABELLA~My brows creased the moment I saw something red on Adrian’s shirt.It looked like a lipstick stain, it was faint, but also clear enough to make my jaw tighten.For a second, I just stared at it, feeling my chest grow heavy.My heart sank, but I quickly masked it before he could notice anything on my face. The last thing I wanted was to give him the satisfaction of getting a reaction out of me.He looked exhausted, like he hadn’t gotten a single hour of sleep. His eyes were dull, his hair a little messy, and his shirt was slightly wrinkled.Anyone else would’ve thought he’d had a rough night, but I knew better.That tiredness had nothing to do with restlessness and everything to do with Ashley.Was that how she kept him all night, having sex with him in ways he once did with me? The thought made me sick.I could almost picture her red lipstick, the same color that was now smudged faintly on his shirt.I took a slow breath, forcing myself to sound calm. “Good morning,” I said

~ISABELLA~For someone who hated Adrian, I panicked and was the first to reach the scene where I saw Adrian lying passed out on the floor.I made a silent prayer that it better be that he passed out and not just died.So I quickly checked his pulse and heaved a deep sigh of relief when I realized that he was alive.Susanna rushed to us and knelt beside Adrian too. She looked like she was about to break down.“What are you guys waiting for?” she yelled at the maids. Call the doctor now!!”The security men in the house came to lift Adrian and took him to his room.I know it was wrong, but I kind of wished Adrian would remain that way, because he looked so peaceful and handsome now that he was quietly still and not trying to get on my nerves.“Stop pacing about mother. Calm down. He is still alive,” I tried to calm her down but she kept pacing back and forth.“You're not the right person to tell me that because you're pacing too Bel,” She told me.It was then that I noticed I had been pa

~ISABELLA~“Don’t worry yourself, Bel,” Susanna said when she called back. “The doctor says it's just a little fever. Take care of him. He’ll get better soon.”I didn't like the sound of what she said. I frowned at the thought of openly caring for Adrian even when he was awake.Adrian wouldn't like it either because we could barely stand each other as it is.“That's going to be very difficult,” I told her, and then explained everything Adrian told me after we got here.She laughed as though it was a joking matter and this made me frown in displeasure.“Just play by his rules for now till he calls down. I know my Adrian. He can't hate you forever. Actually, you aren't supposed to let everyone know that you are Adrian’s wife the moment you start working at the company,” She told me.“Why?” I asked her, trying to get a better understanding of what point she was driving at.“Because then it’d be like you aren’t worthy of your position. That’s why you must use your maiden name when you sta
