CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-ONE : VOICE NOTE

“This morning. I got a message saying I should come here. The person claimed they had information on my real parents. And that was the reason I came…” “Oh Leah. Ethan is fed up with your lies already. When would…” “I did not say you should speak, Let her finish, Jennifer!” Ethan growled, raising his voice for the first time today. I watched as Jennifer flinched. Her hands which held his arms swatted away and she twisted the handle of her bag. My heart broke at how much trust bled through Ethan’s gaze regardless of everything. “When I got here. I saw all these decorations, which told me something was suspicious. I moved to the door, wanting to run away but somebody had already locked it from the outside. Then the room was filled with a certain kind of smell before I could think. I passed out, only to find myself naked in bed with him. I swear Ethan, I would never cheat on you.” “Ha ha ha,” Jennifer’s laugh echoed through tge room. She laughed so

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO : TAMPERED WITH

“You need to calm down Tyler.I cannot afford for Ethan to be suspicious about our affair, or else everything would be over.I have not checked our marriage documents yet—so I cannot be so sure he made me sign a prenup that day. I have to tread carefully.I’ve already spent torturous months with a mad man like that.”My heart pounded erratically against my chest.The air in my lungs non-existent as I listened to my voice play on the voice note.“I definitely cannot divorce him without taking some shares from the Blackwood to my name.Once I confirm that I did not sign a prenup, I’ll come up with a plan that would make him divorce me immediately.I cannot wait to be with you Tyler without hiding anymore.Gosh, I’ll finally get rid of Ethan.I love you baby, please just wait for me.”Jennifer’s lips curled up smugly, as the voice note finally finished playing.Bile rose up in my throat from dread.My eyes wide and my lips parted in shock as I stared at Tyler.I turned to face Ethan.An

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREE : HOW WAS YOUR NIGHT?

“What are you saying?Stop spilling lies, Leah!Who would ever want to frame you?” She bit out harshly.I scoffed at her words, my dark eyes on her, as I muttered through gritted teeth.“Someone like you, Jennifer.You would obviously want to frame me.And why not? When all you’ve ever done was try to throw me out of my husband's home.Out of Ethan’s life, just so you can take my place,” I roared rage filled my veins, scorching hot as I recounted all I’ve been through since Jennifer came into my life.She flinched at my voice, her fist clenched tightly beside her.Regaining herself, I watched as her lips curled into a snarl, and she spat“You are all talk but no game, Leah.It’s obvious your mind is so corrupt that you think every single person is against you when they aren’t.Ethan knows I’m a good person at heart.And every one of my actions is for his good.I do everything for the betterment of the Blackwood’s family only,” she said smugly.Her eyes glinted cruelly, and a sense of

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR : TEN YEARS OLD

The eager voice of the receptionist from earlier rang through the now silent reception room.Her words sounded genuine, almost as if she wanted me to be proud of her.I watched as Ethan’s back tensed.He halted on his steps the moment her voice came.After standing still for some seconds, he recovered, taking long strides out of the place.My fiery eyes turned back to face the reception area, burning with so much anger.Her misleading words had just ruined everything left for me.If Ethan still had an inkling of my innocence before.Her words just solidified Jennifer’s claims.That I was a liar, and I came here with the intention of spending the night with Tyler.She must have seen the rage which I held in my eyes, because she flinched the moment we locked eyes.Her lips parted to say something.Maybe to apologize for her loose mouth, but I barely cared.I needed to save my marriage first.I ran after Ethan, lucky to see the familiar face of one of his cars.He unlocked the door read

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE : YOU’LL RUIN US

“I never uttered those cursed words.Not when I took you in bed. Not when I fucked you in the shower.Neither the time I fucked you on the kitchen counter,” he hissed.Each of his words was deadly, and it’s a surprise I was still standing on my two feet.“We probably have fucked more than a hundred times in these past few months.But I never let those words slip.And do you know why?” He questioned.My lips pressed into a hard line, to keep myself from sobbing hard.I clenched my hands tight, my nails cutting through the skin of my palm.At least the pain gave me a minor distraction from the sharp searing pain in my heart.Tears clouded my vision, making his face blurry.The chords in my chest twisted so tightly together that it was difficult to breathe.“It’s because you were never deserving of that love.And seeing what you did today.For a second, I was foolish enough to have a slip of judgement.But, not anymore.Never!It’s good that Jennifer corrected things for me.It’s really

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIX : DRINK

Ethan’s lips twisted darkly, but he said nothing.His eyes stared at me, bleeding with nothing but anger.“We’ll never come back from this, just know that, Leah,” he hissed softly.I stood still, watching as he slipped into his car.Reversing his wheels, he sped off into the darkness leaving a trail of dust behind.And leaving me, standing at the center of a dark parking lot in the middle of the night, with nothing hiding my nakedness but a hotel blanket.I had no idea how long I stood there.It could have been more hours than I had imagined, but I barely cared.My legs should have been hurting but still, I felt numb and could not feel anything.The cool air blew against my skin.My red hair scattered in disarray, and I could barely bring myself to care.What was the use either way?My entire life was ruined painfully.I had nowhere to go.A sleek black car drove to where I stood silently and calmly.But I barely noticed it:Not when he let out a blaring horn.Or when he parked before

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN : WHO WOULD SAVE ME FROM THE BURNT?

“What?” I choked, my eyes flared wide in shock and fear as I looked back at the hotel. “Th…that just happened. How could it…” I stammered but James clearly understood what I meant as his pitiful eyes met mine. “Ethan is the heir to a multi-billion industry. And you are his wife. News corporations don't wait for hours before releasing gossip like that. Most especially when they have competitors. Everyone would want to be the first to air about the young madam of the Blackwood’s family infidelity,” he hissed, staring deeply into my eyes. My head pounded painfully, as my chest burnt with pain. “Leah, I don’t know why you did what you did. Or whatever went on between you and Ethan. But, I told you about his drinking problems because today, Ethan drank,” he paused, letting his word sink in. “For almost twenty years he never touched more than a glass of alcohol, but today. He drank bottles like they were water. And that's because of you. He drank this much because of you. Bec

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHT : YOU DON’T LOOK WELL!

My chest twisted almost as if I was being choked as I muttered softly.“I’m real, Ethan,” I said calmly.And it took every will in me not to break down into tears seeing his state.“No you are not!” He barked in rage, making me flinch.“Why can’t you just leave me alone, Leah!Why must you follow me every single place I go.In the office I see you, in the club I see you even in my head I see you.Why?Why must I see you everywhere?” He yelled, throwing the bottle across the floor.The thick glass bounced across the ground, till the bottle shattered.I looked sideways from him, trying to blink my tears away.I heard him pick up another bottle from the numerous options by his side, as he burst the cover open.The sounds were like daggers piercing through my fragile heart.And a tear slid down my cheeks, scorching hot as I sniffed.The noise coming from him immediately stilled the moment the sound left my lips.I felt him turn to face me.And then, his thick palm cradled my face.One lon

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINE : HIS WIFE

Footsteps resonated as the door burst open in a hurry probably attracted by my shout, but I barely cared.My eyes remained solely on Ethan, my palm continuously tapping on his face.My fingers trembled as I tried to wake him. “Please wake up, Ethan,” I begged, tears dripping down my chin but I barely felt it as I shook him."Plea…please don't die.Please wake up,” I cried louder and desperately as I shook him with force this time.But still he remained still and unmoving.Fingers wrapped around his wrist and I struggled to read his pulse—but it was faint, and so was his heart beat.Fear, terror, and if there was a stronger word—then maybe it would be enough to describe what I felt.“Jamess!” I screamed his name, knowing he would help us“Where are you?Please help Ethan.Please help…”The door burst open before I could complete my words.I watched as a panicked looking James ran through the balcony to where I was.His wide eyes took in Ethan lying helplessly on the floor.And then, i

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY : ETHAN NEEDED A FAMILY MEMBER

“What?” I gasped, my hands moving to the documents as I swiped it out of her fingers.My eyes read each line as fast as I could.My heart pounded erratically against my chest seeing the nurse had really told no lies. It was clearly written here, spouse—Jennifer, then signature requested beneath.“H…how did this happen?” I asked, my breathing uneven as I struggled to calm myself.My gaze moved up to the nurse who was watching me quietly.“Thi…this was a mistake.I’m Ethan’s wife,” I said, my fingers pointing directly at my chest.“Me—Leah Barnes Blackwood.I’m his one and only wife,” I pressed.My mind, unable to comprehend how Jennifer’s name had gotten here.“Unfortunately ma’am, according to this document, Ethan Blackwood is married to Jennifer.She signed the document as his spouse when he got here.And that man over there,” she paused, her hands stretched and pointed towards a guilty looking James.“He vouched for her, and told the hospital that Jennifer and Ethan Blackwood wer
