บททั้งหมดของ Heart of a Betrayed Wife: บทที่ 231 - บทที่ 240

Micheal's pov, I left the living room without looking back, only for me to meet both Jordan and Maximus in the hallway. It seemed like they had been eavesdropping on me and Joanne the whole time. I was distracted, so I did not notice their presence. “What are you doing here?”. I asked them, because they were looking up at the ceiling, as if they were searching for some kind of rare treasure. It was even due to their suspicious behavior, of how they were looking around mindlessly, that made me understand that they had been eavesdropping on us. “What do you mean? We are doing nothing here”. Jordan replied to me. He was so clueless to the extent that he was not able to come up with a good excuse.I shook my head at both of them, and the thoughts about how they turned out to be my blood related uncles, had not escaped from my mind.How could these unserious two be my…?I lowered my head as I massaged my forehead, almost not believing it. “Though, is Joanne in her right mind, nephew?

“Wait, wait. Just tell me what happened”. I said to her, because so far, she had not explained to me why she was like this. “I- I- it is not something that I can talk about over the phone with you. Please can you come over? I heard a baby's cry. It is okay if you can't come”. She said, not even waiting for me to reply to her whether I could come or not. I checked my cell phone, and seeing that the time was 3:57pm, I would not lie... I frowned a little bit because I was not in the mood to go out by this time of the day, when the sun was harsh, shining very brightly, and hot against the skin. “Tell me where you are. I am going to come meet you”. I told her, and she revealed that she was staying at the restaurant where we met each other for the first time. After that, the phone call ended, but then came a tired groan from me, combined with a heavy sigh. “Is this what having friends is all about? I guess it is time for me to experience such a thing”. I said to myself, before leaving

Joanne’s pov, I returned to the apartment and was not feeling sad anymore. About an hour ago, I felt badly hurt. It felt like ants were eating away my heart, but after she appeared in the picture, she was easily able to calm the storm in my heart. And she did not look like the kind of person who cared if I was rich, poor, or an average individual. Was it truly fated that we met each other?I noticed the dark circles in her eyes as she arrived in the restaurant. She must have tired herself out, because most of what I had seen and heard, being a single mother was more difficult than writing a math exam. But despite that, she made time to accommodate me. I don't think I need any reason not to fully accept her as my friend. She could be my friend, and it was even better that she was a jeweler like me. I smiled. My hand reached out to open the door in front of me, but I halted after thinking about something. Her husband was a big time scumbag for abandoning a stunning young lady l

Valentina's pov, I sat outside the mansion, on the bare ground as I stared up at the dark sky that was filled with countless stars. My eyes were hot, but tears had ceased to come out of them. It was as if my tears had dried up, and no matter how sorrowful I was, no tears could come out. I lost everything. My life was a mess, and I did not know the way forward. It should have been Adira in this mess. I have not stopped regretting why I took that bastard away from her. I never knew he was so useless and never deserved me. If he knows what is best, he should rot in jail. No. He and his damn mother should both rot in hell. I placed my hand on my stomach and caressed it gently.‘How am I going to take care of you by myself? What sort of burden is this? But, I have already lost a baby, I don't think I can lose another again’. I thought as my eyes remained open without blinking. I was tired. Exhausted. I did not get why people were blaming me when I was not the one who committed the

I arrived inside my office but could not stop thinking while I reviewed some important files. Subconsciously, I checked the time on my wristwatch, and just like that, the time was 9am. Just how fast did time go by? I have not even asked Brooklyn to bring me my coffee. And by 10am, I was supposed to meet with some important figures to form an agreement with them. Should I give Adira a call? What if she thinks I was a pest? I didn't want her to think so. But if I did not call her, I would continue to be restless. I breathed deeply and rubbed my palms on my face. “What has come over me? I don't use to behave like this, nor did I use to be troubled to this extent”. I said, and looked up at the door after hearing a knock. “Boss, it's me”. Brooklyn’s voice came through behind the closed door, and I told her to come in, after I picked up the file which I lost interest in reviewing. She came over to my desk. “Your coffee, boss”. She said to me and gently placed the c
