Semua Bab The Billionaire She Sent To Prison: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Lydia woke up with a smile on her face, and as her consciousness returned, the smile didn't leave; it grew. Last night had gone well. The weeks past had indeed gone well, but yesterday took the crown. She wouldn't have imagined life would go so well when Adam found her at the train station. She believed life would be hell, but it had not been that yet. Once she stopped looking at her duties as his wife as a punishment, it became easy to follow through with it. Hopefully, it will remain this way until the contract ends.Lydia got up from the bed and went over to the bathroom to draw herself a bath, not waiting on Ingrid. Usually, Ingrid comes to take her to breakfast, and when they return, she will draw her a bath, but Lydia wants to do something different. She wanted to bathe and get herself ready for breakfast.When Ingrid pushed the door open thirty minutes later, Lydia was already picking out her clothes."Good morning, Mrs White, what are you doing?" She asked in alarm, walking ov

Lydia was most excited to begin this new phase in her life, and this happiness followed her to the White Estate's second office, where she started work last week. She never saw herself becoming anything past a regular staff member at Jakob Investment, where she had dedicated more than three years. Those who came before her and had spent more than nine years were still in mediocre positions, especially if they were women. Power was selective, and she had no hope of ever becoming more, so she settled for being paid and getting by. Most people started just like her with the hope of working a few years and then moving to something better but ended up getting stuck. It was one of the factors that influenced her relationship with Anthony; he was her boss, and since she needed the job at that time, she agreed to date him, fearing what might happen if she said no. Falling in love with him wasn't something she had planned, but it happened, and she found herself unable to walk away. Though h

"We cancelled last week's game because of Sir's last-minute family emergency. Will we have to cancel this week?" Oliver asked over the phone."I don't think we will have to, but my opinion is one amongst four others; you will also need to reach out to them," Jayden said over the phone"I don't think I would need to. Everyone already knows the boys play every weekend. I need to remind you because you haven't been the same man since you came out of prison. You have missed most games without a valid reason, and that is why I am informing you ahead of time. No excuse this week."Jayden chuckled, "Fine, no excuses. But it sounds like you would rather spend the day out than with your wife.""Oh, it is the other way around, buddy; Imela would rather spend the day out than with me. She has added your wife to her group of friends and Nina, or did you forget?"At his words, Jayden remembered Lydia being invited by Imela to a girl's day out during Max's birthday party a month ago. He had forgott

Jayden had said many things at dinner yesterday, one of which was asking her to take accountability for her lies that sent him to jail. Mary had also called her a liar when she found out Lydia had been the one whose testimony put Jayden in jail. The older woman was convinced that her testimony was falsified against Jayden but it wasn't. Lydia testified to what she saw—what she saw when she went with Anthony to the White Estate company building. Jayden believed she lied and had not changed his conviction, and so did Mary; then, perhaps there was more to this than she knew. What if what she knew was a lie? What if it was all set up? What if she was also bait in the grand scheme? She would have said Anthony wouldn't do such a cruel thing to her, but that man had no integrity or moral compass and would gladly do anything to get ahead. She heeded to confront him and look him in the eyes while she accused him of using her to frame Jayden White for a crime he didn't commit. This way, she wo

Blood coursed through Jayden's veins, and every word he uttered made his heart beat even faster. He wanted to hurt her; he wanted to cause her as much discomfort as she caused him and make her suffer and feel the full extent of his wrath. The last thing he expected was a call from George telling him everything that had happened and how Lydia had gotten them into it, and so instead of coming home like the three were supposed to, they were now in the hospital. If she was there to meet Anthony and almost got shot instead, it meant the snake of a man had tried to wipe her out, wanting to keep the truth a secret. He would bury Anthony for this and make sure he would never see the light of day, both he and his boss, Killian Jakob. They would regret the day they crossed him. Jayden felt so angry on the way over that he blacked out a few times. Good thing Adam had chosen to drive him because he wouldn't have been able to do that himself without running the risk of an accident. After he arr
