บททั้งหมดของ The Ex-Wife He Never Knew: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

I woke up the next morning with a headache that felt more like a hangover and, after seeing what I was wearing, realized that last night’s events were real. Not a vivid nightmare. I forced myself to get out of bed and take a shower. After I put on a pair of jeans and an old T-shirt, I went to my home office and turned on my laptop.As I sat at my desk. I turned around and looked out the window. My backyard is my favorite place on this property. It was a blank slate when we moved in. I designed the shape of each section and what I wanted in it. It has a small waterfall at one end and a small stream wandering through each section, ending with a small pond with Koi in it. It also has my favorite midnight water lilies.It’s too bad I can’t stay here. This house has been my prison for the last two years. I was not allowed to go anywhere without my spy/driver. I wasn’t allowed to meet with my friends. My friends were not allowed on the property. I found out about that one day when I called

Victor POVI sat in my office all day thinking of tomorrow night, when I get to pick up Daya from the airport, when Liam knocked on my office door. He sat in the chair across from my desk and asked, “A few of us are going to the bar tonight. Are you coming?” I sighed as I sat back in my chair, “No. Harley is expecting me for dinner tonight for some reason. I need to give her some papers anyway.”Liam’s eyebrows raised as he asked, “Are you seriously thinking about divorcing her?” I nodded, “I’m not thinking about it. I’m doing it.” Liam asked, “Man, I need to know why.” I shrugged, “She’s okay, as far as housewives go, but not stunning enough to take to events.” Liam shook his head at me, “Are you crazy? Dude, I would kill for a wife like her. She’s beautiful, smart, and her life revolves around you. Sorry, but I think you’re going blind.”I shook my head in disagreement, “Daya will be coming back tomorrow night. She’s the one I want. If my dad hadn’t insisted, I would’ve never marrie

We got in Angela’s car and we were at the building in five minutes. As soon as we got out of the car, I looked at the curb appeal first. It was a sleek design with the same bullet-proof and impact resistant windows that are used in high-rise buildings. I did like that a lot. I was happy that we could just paint the name of my business on the windows.I smiled, “It’s a beautiful architectural design. Let’s see what the inside looks like.” Angela smiled, “You are going to love it. I just know it.” She unlocked the front door and we all walked in. She locked it behind us and I immediately looked around and found pristine display cabinets with glass tops and front, “So this was a jewelry store before?”Angela smiled, “Yes. They just didn’t design and make jewelry. They sized the rings and did engraving. They left that machinery here.” I nodded, “That will reduce my costs. I will add some to the purchase price. The extra can go directly to her. We ladies need to stick together.” As I looke

We were about halfway through our second bottle of wine that night when the ladies decided they wanted me to speak more freely about my marriage. I tried not to, but the temptation was way too much.Lacey asked, “What did Winifred do to you?” I explained, “She would have her bridge club come to my house so that I would have to play hostess. I would have to make and serve all the food, serve all the drinks and clean up all their messes. The worst part of it all was that she would always do everything she could to degrade or humiliate me.”Lacey asked, “What kinds of things did she say or do?” I answered, “She would constantly try to make me fall by tripping me. She would always find a way to bring up the fact that my parents were never rich, so I didn’t know how to act around people like them. She would point out that my clothes were not designer. I would tell her I don’t wear designer clothes while cooking or cleaning.”Angela asked, “Who all knew you were married?” I raised my brows,
