Semua Bab Heart of a Betrayed Wife: Bab 121 - Bab 130

I closed my eyes, gradually allowing nature to take control. That was until… my cell phone rang and brought me (who had left reality) back to reality. I sat up immediately, shocked and confused. Who was this person who plotted evilly to disturb my sleep?And the worst part was that my cell phone was beside me on the bed, making its ringing tone louder and easier to hear. I grabbed the cell phone like I was having a fight with it, and staring at its screen, the caller was Kai. What was he calling me for? As far as I can tell, since here in Cindaly City it was 11pm, then over there in Blenka city it should be 9pm or less. Unless he was in Delfinda city. And even though he was in Delfinda city, it should almost be the same time as Blenka city. Meaning that it is late in the night. Did he not confirm the time before he decided to call and disturb me? What was he thinking? I answered the call irrespective of that and blamed myself for the kind of heart I had. But I promised mysel

“You see? That's why I did not want to tell you what happened. I knew you would be afraid because of the bomb”. Kai said to me and I looked at him, stunned.How did he know that I was afraid of bombs? I never told him that. As if he could read my mind by staring into my eyes, Kai added, “You are my sister, Adira, so I know. After what happened six years ago, I watched you closely and noticed the new changes in you. Without needing to guess, I knew that you had been traumatized by what happened that day”. “What building was bombed, and where, Kai? And why did you risk it all and enter the building? What if something terrible happened to you in there and you never came out?”. I asked him, even after knowing fully well that what he did by saving the elderly lady and her grandson was the right thing to do. He sighed, before he showed me the plastic bag in his hand. “Surprisingly, I found an ice cream shop that remained open and bought ice cream for you on my way to the hotel”. He said

Joanne's pov, People have been staring at me whenever I rise up from my seat like the others, making me wonder. Was my blue dress so beautiful that it was irresistible? But checking things, I noticed some eyes staring at the thin necklace I was wearing.The same thin petal chain necklace that rested gracefully on my neck.It was a necklace that I had casually created and decided to wear since I could not find any other necklace that I could wear. When I eventually stepped out of the church, I sighed in relief because the staring tension was kinda over and was not that tense anymore. Everyone had been staring at me in the church building, and despite the confident look on my face, I felt like their gazes had been tattooed all over my body, and heck yes, that was very uncomfortable, and you did not want to be in my shoes. I checked the time on my cell phone. It was exactly 8am, and I was glad that today's Sunday service finished on time. Of course, I went to church, like I had alw

“Don't worry, if you don't remember what was written on the contract, I will state it for you”. Derek offered, not as if I was the one who had asked him for it. He began, saying to me, “According to the agreement in the contract you signed a year ago, you will not be able to quit your job as Delly's company's top jeweler unless it is approved by the CEO, me. If I recall correctly, after you handed your resignation letter over to me, I didn't agree to it”.“Or am I mistaken about this?”. He added with a grin, causing me to snatch the document in his hand, as I wanted to be sure that he was joking with me. I read the words written on the contract document, and just like before, the first words that caught my attention were the bonuses. But now, staring closely at what was written at the bottom of the contract, I saw it. It was exactly like Derek had said. I would not be able to resign from his company unless he approved of it, or he was the one who fired me from his company himself.

Adira's pov, I left my bedroom with a yawn and went to the living room. I had taken my bath and had changed into a casual and comfortable outfit like the pajamas I changed out of before I went to take my bath. I was wearing a plain white T-shirt and black joggers. I initially planned on wearing one of my shorts today, but I did not feel quite comfortable wearing any of them when Kai was there with me in my hotel room. Besides, I just bought the shorts out of fancy, but it was hard for me to wear them. That was because I had been married for the past two years and had been dressing modestly most of the time because I did not want people to think that I was an immoral woman or something like that. Though I did not care about that anymore.I don't care about what people think about my dressing style. They should keep their opinions buried deep within their hearts for all I care about. I arrived in the living room, where I saw Kai busy on his phone. But he kept it aside as soon as h
