บททั้งหมดของ BURNING DESIRES, WIFEY PLEASE COME BACK : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Thane's POV "The party starts by ten, oh I'll be there before then." Gabriella giggled over the phone, brushing down her hair with her other hand. I stood there at the doorstep but she didn't notice I was there. My two children, Gabriella and Hudson took after me. Well, I was proud of them. They're just so sensible just like I— their father. "Father." Gabriella smiled, turning around. "There's a party tonight I guess." I grinned, folding my hands across my chest as I walked in.She nodded, a big smile on her face. "I'm going with Eva." My brows scrunched up her I heard her speak. Eva? Wasn't that Fiona's daughter?"When did you both become friends?" I frowned as I asked. Gabriella sighed and continued with her makeup. "Come on, dad. Eva is the most popular girl on Tiktok and I need her in my life. I need influential friends, friends who can help me." "With popularity?" "Of course, dad. I don't care about anything else — whatever it will take us none of my business. Even if it

Adeline's POV After treating Aiden's wound, my gaze remained on him, wondering why he would hurt himself."Do you always do this when you're angry?" I asked him, breaking the silence that had reigned for a while. He nodded slowly, looking at me, his expression a bit remorseful. "I thought the habit had left me but.. tonight I just couldn't help it." He explained."That's the only thing you do to ease your mood swings?" I squinted my brows, waiting for him to speak. He turned to look at me this time around, shifting his gaze from the other side. "It really hurts, do you know that, Del?"I took his left hand, rubbing the back of his palm. "You know you can always talk to me." Aiden chuckled, walking to towards the window. He shoved the curtains aside, letting the eerie rays of the moon shine through the room. "You don't understand, do you?"I moved to his side, sighing. "Why do you think I don't?" "You were there when my uncle spoke earlier, right?""He made you angry, didn't he?"

Narrator's POV Adeline was a complete mess, Aiden had warned her not to attend the party but she wouldn't listen.She frowned when she saw the unfamiliar face staring into her eyeballs, a mixture of emotions on his face. "Hey young man, what business do you have with me? Leave me alone, I have something important to do. You see that guy over there, my ass is fucking ready for him." Adeline giggled, pointing at the guy from earlier.The more Ryker was trying to stop her from moving, the more the urge to strip naked gripped Adeline. The sedatives were really working and it didn't seem like Adeline's senses would return soon.Eva and Gabriella watched them from afar, a frown on their faces."Who is that guy over there and why is he helping her!" Gabriella stamped her feet on the floor in annoyance. "I really want to see her in a mess." She gritted her teeth, her fingers curling into a tightened fist.Eva sighed, crossing her legs as she sat. "That's one of mom's business partners and

Adeline's POV "It was all steamy until you suddenly stopped, Adeline." My wolf, Akira said as I made my way to the cafeteria. I sighed, rubbing the space between my brows. "Akira, what's wrong with you?" "Love is wrong with me. I really want to continue with that kiss." "No Akira, I am only going crazy and next time I try something like that, please stop me, okay?" "Uh?""Thank you."I grabbed the tray, walking away from the counter. I settled down to eat when I saw Dane Bloodworth — the optician's brother. I waved at him, trying to call his attention but it seemed he was busy with his phone. "Hey, hey look here!" Akira yelled and just as if Dane heard her, he looked to my direction. I patted my chest, smiling. "Thank you, Akira." "Hi Adeline." Dane smiled, while I offered him a seat. "Hi Dane. I came searching for you some days ago but you weren't in class." I said. "Do you mind if I get some juice for you?" He shook his head. "Oh not really. Thank you. And about that day

Adeline's POV I stood in the waiting room, my face buried in my palms. I was damn worried, what if something happened to Aiden? What could be the reason behind his sudden breakdown? None of Aiden's family accompanied me down here, I was alone. Left solo to handle my own problems. I didn't expect much from them though. This is what they've been waiting for, isn't it? To see Aiden weary and in pains. "Moon Goddess, please keep Aiden safe for me." I mumbled in prayers. "Mrs Albert, the doctor needs to see you in his office. Please follow me." A nurse said and I nodded, running after her to the doctor's office. "How's he doing now?" I asked, jittering. Maverick shook his head gravely before pushing some papers forward. I squinted my brows at him with curiosity gripping my weary heart. "A test was being run on your husband and we found neurotoxin in his system. All these while he his medications was being switched." Maverick explained. I stared at the papers, tears
