Semua Bab THE GLASS WIFE; the storm he built himself : Bab 11 - Bab 20

ELIOT’S POV What the- “What is this?” i asked, my eyebrows furrowed as I stared at the continuously buzzing phone in my hands. Several notifications popping onto the screen, rapidly and all from one source too. The bank. “Why am I getting so much debit alerts and notifications from the bank?” “The bank? I don’t think there’s an issue with our accounts, Sir. The finance department would have alerted us.” “This is my personal account, John” I snapped, “Why will I receive debit alerts and notifications from the company accounts?” “Oh,” was his only response as he zipped his mouth shut to not annoy me any further. I didn’t even have the time for him cause more alerts came firing through. “$354,870 for CHANEL- Galleria Luxe?” I instantly read out, my eyebrows tight as I actually began to note what exactly I was being charged for. $652,510 for LUXURY APPAREL-Galleria Luxe?” $435,295 for BVLGARI JEWELS, Luxe Mall? “$1.9m for LUXE PENTHOUSE, Galleria Luxe?!” my voice rose an

ELIOT’S POVIt was one thing to just come back to the country after so long, but it was another to do so and then show up at my house. Laughing and sitting… awfully close to my wife as well!What is that?!“Good evening, Mr. Beckett!” a maid greeted, successfully pulling my gaze away from them. And at the same time turning everyone’s attention to the space between the dining area and living room. To me.“Good evening, Sir!” the other maids around greeted as well, bowing a bit. I just gave a nod of recognition, my features blank as my eyes fell on Serena and Axel again. Noting they had risen to their feet too.All smiles and laughter gone now. From Serena most especially as she stood still like my presence alone had completely soiled her entire mood. Ruined her day and the good time she was having. Just the thought was enough to have my jaw clenching as I instantly looked away from her. Focusing on the human standing just beside her. A little too closely still.And before I could utter

SERENA’S POV“Should we serve lunch, ma’am? Your bags are all ready to come up whenever you’d like”Lunch.Yup. You heard that right. Lunch.It was 12:45pm in the afternoon and I was only just brushing my teeth. Under Rosa’s supervision of course.Since I’d slept into the afternoon, she was convinced I wasn’t to be left alone. “A person cannot sleep for so long unless deeply tired from the inside.” She’d said, forcing me out of bed and into the bathroom for a shower despite my sleepy self.“Yes, you can, Rosa.” I replied, washing off my paste covered mouth. “Prepare lunch, please. I’m starving!”“And the bags?” she pressed, standing a few steps behind me like an Equerry. Hands, neatly folded in front of her. Hair tied up in a freakishly neat bun, uniform ironed to perfection with spotless black flats to go with it.A proper steward.You could literally feel the strict but yet warm energy roll off her. Eliot’s mom knew what she was doing when she gave her to me.“The bags should remain

SERENA'S POV“So,” he breathed, getting all serious. “Have you decided what to do? About… the current situation”I knew that question was coming. I could feel it from all our conversations; in fact, he did a good job holding it in all this time. So why not. “Well,” I started, sipping the last of my can drink as I readied myself to just come out with it. “Eliot wants a divorce! And I’m not signing. Yet.”He blinked. His jaw clenching as disbelief overtook his calm features. “Wh-Eliot wants to- he’s divorcing you and you’re not signing?”“I’m not signing until I know what I’m going to do with myself” I stated, “No matter what I do, this situation doesn’t look good for me. So, I think it’s high time I do what’s best for me and only me.”He remained silent for a moment. Taking it in, and then slowly, a little smile appeared at the edge of his lips. “I’m listening”“I refuse to step away and become nothing. I refuse to be known as Eliot’s selected wife overthrown by a fucking mistress! Eve

ELIOT’S POVI fucking blocked this blog! Why was I still receiving notifications like this?Why?“I can’t even believe this.” I hissed under my breath, angrily swiping away the notification from my screen. “I can’t fucking believe this. Dammit!” I couldn’t even concentrate enough to search up the damned blog and hit that forsaken block button once and for all!I couldn’t concentrate. Not anymore. Not when all that filled my thoughts was the fact that Serena intentionally rejected my calls.She saw me trying to call her and rejected them. Why? Why would she? She was never like this. If anything, she used to be so excited to take my calls!Her elated voice welcoming me each and every time that I had to call her. So, what was this? What, all of that changed in just a week? Cause of the divorce issue? How was that even possible?A person can’t change like that. But then again, her actions these past days has been nothing short of strange. Totally out of the ordinary and not something the
