Mr Humphrey's Contractual Marriage with his Ex - Lover のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Charles leaned back in his chair, a smile stretching across his face as he looked her up and down with contempt. “Your fair share?” he sneered. “What exactly do you think you’re worth, Vivian? You’re nothing. You contributed nothing to this company or my life. Whatever you think you’re owed, you’re mistaken.”Vivian clenched her fists, feeling the state of humiliation and rage surge in her chest. She had had enough of his insults. He had begged her to help him out, but now, he pretended like he did not even recall.He was supposed to be her husband; the man she had given up her dreams and opportunities for, the man she had stood by, believing in him when he was at his lowest. And now he was discarding her like she was worthless and a piece of garbage.“Nothing, huh?” she shot back, her voice shaking. “Well, remember this moment, Charles. I gave up my dreams and contributed to the growth of this company. Just bear it in mind that I will make you regret it.”"What company are you talk

Vivian sat alone in her apartment, her hands shaking as she stared down at the business card Ralph had given her, his name printed boldly across it.She had come here to escape the mess of her past, to start fresh and carve out her own life without anyone’s help or pity. But here she was—jobless, pregnant, and uncertain of what the future held.She decided to continue her life and pretend that nothing happened. As she was working, a customer crossed the line, grabbing her arm and pulling her close. Angrily, she yanked her arm free and slapped him hard across the face. "How dare you humiliate a customer? Do you know who he is?" Her boss yelled at her."Sir, you saw—""You are fired!" ***Taking a deep breath, she picked up her phone and dialed Ralph’s number. He answered almost immediately as if he had been expecting her call.“Vivian,” he greeted. “I take it you’ve made a decision?”She closed her eyes and sighed. “Yes. Let’s meet. I want to discuss the contract.”When she arrived

An unsure look crossed Vivian's facial features as she stared back at those waiting for her response. Ralph just mopped out a chance for her to get a slice of her revenge against her ex - husband. "As much as I don't want to see your face, I feel like we should hear what he has to say." She struck a glance at Ralph, "How about we schedule a ten minute meeting?" A sly smile appeared on her face.Charles was flabbergasted as he stared at Vivian in anger. How dare she stomp on him with disrespect like this? Ten minutes meeting? What is he? Someone who wants to have a cheap interview?"Vivian, I can't believe --" He was about to say but Ralph cut him off immediately. "My beautiful wife has spoken and it is my obligation to follow whatever she says." Ralph flashed his wife a cute smile. "Come on, Charles, ten minutes should be enough for you to say whatever you want to say." He added.Charles' contorted face gave away how much anger he was feeling. "Yes but --" He was cut off again."You

"Do you know Charles?" Ralph's mother interrupted and Vivian's entire body got sweaty immediately. She trembled slightly as she couldn't look at the woman in the face. How does she begin to explain? It doesn't make sense. Is she supposed to start telling them how Charles is her Ex - husband and how she married his brother again, Ralph?It seems like she is a leech in their family. This is totally absurd. Immediately, she knew she couldn't stay there. She didn't think she could do this anymore. She never should have come here in the first place.Vivian Jaws tightened as she pushed the dining chair backwards and wanted to stand up. Ralph's hand fell on her thighs. His face was expressionless as she glanced at him. What is he doing? No, he isn't trying to stop her because they both know this wouldn't work out.All she has to do is walk away from all these. She has no choice, she will have to work away from both of them, away from her problems and her plans. She has to forget about her r

Vivian couldn't sleep. She touched the second area on the bed and found it very cold which meant Ralph didn't sleep there at all. She shouldn't be bothered but that was exactly the way Charles behaved when they were married.Charles would always return home at midnight. He lied about work into the night. He has always told her that he owed her no explanation but now, she knows he spends most of his intimate time with his mistress.She will wait for him throughout the night regardless. Sometimes, he will come home drunk. Sometimes, he wouldn't even come home at all.He doesn't care that she had spent a lot of time in the kitchen. He doesn't care that she will nurse severe back pain due to her sleeping on the couch regularly. Sometimes, she sleeps off on the couch without realizing it and meets her husband on the bed. He never cared to take her inside the room.She pushed away those thoughts, not wanting to remember them anymore. Charles has hurt her enough. He isn't worth her thinking
