Divorce? His Biggest Mistake のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

~WILLIAM~ I mean, it must be the only reason, and the way Harriot was silent proved it: “Shit, I can't believe she would hide this from me!” “Hide what?” Vivi, who I didn't notice, had returned asked. “She knew about it, didn't she?” I turned to Harriot, but my hand pointed at her. “Know about what?” she asked, but I still ignored her as I now stood up and started searching for my phone but realized I left it in the car. “William, are you sure you're okay?” Harriot asked, and I turned to him, confused at what he meant. “How can Anastasia be pregnant when you rarely touch her?” he questioned. “I mean, it's not like I don't touch her at all,” I muttered under my breath as I tried to recall the last time Anastasia and I had sex, and I remembered it was when Jimena and I argued—Anastasia was the cause of it. Anastasia was also pretty; even though her body was not shaped like a model, I was still attracted to her as sh

ARIZONA, SEDONA 2022~ANASTASIA~I grabbed the phone from Gia’s hands to see for myself and was shocked to find that she was telling the truth. What made it worse was that the photoshopped picture they used was of me on my knees crying and, in a sense, begging William not to divorce me while he was holding Jimena's hands, who had her heel on top of my head.“Don't mind them; the media are just a bunch of liars,” Gia said, and she was right: this is how they made their living, by tarnishing people's reputations. I mean, the image didn't exactly hurt me, but the fact that this could happen—I mean, Jimena could literally step on me, and William would do nothing.“I don't blame them,” I said as I walked to the bed and sat down. “I blame myself.”“Ana—”“No, it is me who had a crush on a man who was clearly out of my league.”“Are you kidding me? You're an heiress, for God's sake, so how is William out of your league?”“I know William is your friend, but he has really crossed the line,” I

~ANASTASIA~I can't believe it's been a month. I spent a full month without William, and I was still alive and healthy at that.Don't get me wrong, but since I married William, I always thought I had to be around him; I always thought he wouldn't survive without me. I mean, I had to do everything for him, help manage his company because he was too busy with Jimena, and make sure his meals were warm even when he came late because he liked homemade food. I thought he wouldn't survive without me, that I wouldn't survive without seeing him. Well, here I was, and I wouldn't exaggerate if I said I was a little happy.“Come on, Mommy, we will be late,” Ivy said impatiently, stomping her feet.“Honey, since when are we late for a private jet?” I asked as I searched for a sweater; we were traveling back to Seattle, and Ivy was so excited to see her father. Well, I was not going to stop her from seeing him, but I would just limit their meeting times.“You know I want to see Charlie; I missed hi

~ANASTASIA~Remember that night Gia and Santiago insisted I go with them to that business dinner? Well, the man we were meeting turned out to be the same man standing here.I didn't like him, and I was pretty mean to him because that night I expected we would go for dinner like Gia said, but he changed at the last minute and asked us to meet him at a boxing arena. He was watching people fighting, and with what I took from him that night, I could tell he was a violent man as he got so excited seeing one of the men beaten.“Are... are you sure?” I turned to the guard, who nodded.“Small world, right?” He brought out his hand; well, I needed his help, and since Ivy was already inside, I couldn't ask her to come out, so I forced a smile but didn't give him my hand.“Thank you,” I said. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”“No problem,” he awkwardly cleared his voice. He seemed hurt at first that I didn't take his hand but did well to hide it as he turned to his guards and spoke to them. We

~WILLIAM~I walked to the window still puffing on the cigarette when someone suddenly barged in.“Tell me this is not true.” It was Jimena; she was holding her phone up, the screen facing me. It was the video of me destroying the flowers. Well, I knew she would see it too, so I expected it already.“It’s just a video, Jimena,” I said, trying to make it seem like it’s not a big deal.“Excuse me? And when did you start smoking?” She questioned.“Today, tada!” I dramatically said as I walked back to my seat and sat down.“My reputation is at stake here; you know the kind of job I do.”“I know, and that’s why I have people working on it. Okay, relax, okay.”“Relax? William, this is my reputation we are talking about. You are the one who announced our engagement to the world; my fans are already questioning me.” She sounded calm, but I could see the anger in her eyes. I was done with the cigarette, so I threw it in the small bin before I looked up at her.“Stress is not good for pregnant
