All Chapters of Heart of a Betrayed Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“10 million dollars”. Desmond said to me, but I wasn't surprised, because I had expected him to say something like that about the wristwatch. This was the most expensive price he had ever presented me with, but honestly, the price was fair to me. Just one glance at the wristwatch, and I could tell the effort that the jeweler put into it when making it. It wasn't all about the materials used in making it. But it was all about how perfectly and skillfully the jeweler had made use of the materials to create such a magnificent wristwatch. “It's a deal”. I declared, and he almost fell off his chair, as if he had not anticipated or expected me to agree to the price. “Wait. You agree without negotiating with me?”. He asked me in disbelief, but when I didn't answer him, he cleared his throat. “It is a deal then”. He announced, before his right hand was stretched out towards me, expecting a handshake from me, which I completely dismissed, because to me, we hadn't yet come to a final agreem

Nathan hurried to my side because of what happened. He put the tray of food aside on the floor, before he held my hands and asked me, “Are you okay? I thought that you were still in bed”. His eyes were filled with worry. Seeing the worried look in his eyes, it only made me feel guilty and hated myself. If only he had not listened or obeyed his father's wishes and gotten married to that stupid Adira, then I wouldn't have done that. I would not have made the mistake that could potentially ruin my entire life and career if revealed. Rather, I would have been living the rich life I deserved. It was all their fault. Adira and Mr Rodriguez were the ones who ruined my life. “I am okay, Natty”. I said to him, and when he sighed in relief, my hand made it to his face and caressed his cheek. “I am sorry for making you worry about me. It's just that, I can't believe that I am finally going to become your wife and a mom”. I explained to Nathan, before I glanced at my cell phone that was

Nathan's pov,I wasn't able to look at Adira's parents, though I could feel their piercing gazes. My father was sitting opposite them, but my mother was nowhere to be found. Where was she at a moment like this? Not that I actually needed her to be here. “So this was the lady you cheated on my daughter with? Huh, Nathan? So this was the lady you slept with a month ago before you humiliated my daughter with a divorce? And now she's pregnant with your child? I hope you are proud of it”. Adira's father, Mr Gael, asked me, making me finally look at him, but with shock and disbelief in my eyes.How the heck did he know that I slept with Valentina a month ago? They should only know that I cheated on Adira, and that was it. In that case, did Kai overhear it when Valentina told me in my office that she was one month pregnant? Was that why they concluded that I slept with her a month ago? That must be it. Even though… I was stupefied, confused, and had to look at Valentina, who looked sho

In the blink of an eye, I could not see Adira anymore. I rose to my feet and had to touch the corner of my lips using my fingers after I noticed that I hadn't stopped smiling. It was as if someone cast a spell on me. I would actually believe it if someone told me that Adira had cast a smiling spell on me. It was not a bad feeling anyway, because I had missed this sweet feeling. I put the heart shaped pebble inside my purse, and allowed it to stay together with the small crystal I had bought. And staring one last time at the crowd of people who were busy discussing, buying, selling, and doing all sorts of their businesses, I turned around and left the jewelry market, heading to my car that was parked away from the market, since cars were not allowed to be parked inside the market area. After I located my car, I entered it and sat in the driver's seat, before taking out my cell phone to check the time. The time turned out to be 1pm. There were still two hours left before Joseph

“My jewelry company, Ma-Kings”. Michael said to me and my eyes widened. Did I hear him say Ma-Kings? “That's impossible. Aren't you supposed to be a retired soldier? How come you have a company? I was expecting you to say something like the Glems company”. I admitted, but he frowned. Why do I feel like he gets offended any time I mention anything concerning his family?Like the time I mentioned Nathan. His mood turned sour, and he even called Nathan a thing. “Glems company isn't worth my time”. He plainly said to me. There was a moment of silence between both of us, before I chuckled. “Do you seriously want me to believe that you are the owner of the Ma-Kings jewelry company? The same Ma-Kings jewelry company that is almost every jeweler's dream? The same Ma-Kings jewelry company that topped the global sales charts for five years in a row and still counting? Is this supposed to be a joke or what?”. I said to him and was expecting him to break character, and tell me that it was al
