Heart of a Betrayed Wife의 모든 챕터: 챕터 41 - 챕터 50

Mrs Jane's pov, After my husband drove into our mansion and parked his car, he got out of the car, but I remained sitting inside the car. I was too troubled to move from my sitting position. I had too many regrets. Regrets which I knew were going to eat me up if I didn't resolve my troubled heart, which was my daughter, Adira. As her mother, I had wronged her and felt very uncomfortable and restless because of that. I wanted to go to her and apologize to her. But it was really, really troubling. I can't explain how troubled I was, but that was mostly because I had no idea where my daughter was. It has been a month, but no news about her. She never even called anyone in her family, especially me, her mother, who had her in my womb for nine months before she came into the world. But looking at things. It was worse that I was her mother, because I hurt her and did not believe her. I did not even ask her to tell me everything that happened between her and that stupid…Gosh. Look now

By the time I arrived in the living room, I saw that it was only Joseph who was in the living room. Aunt Becky must have gone upstairs to her bedroom to refresh herself and change clothes. “What do you think you are doing, Joseph?”. I asked him because he was sitting in my spot on the floor and was eating the noodles I hadn't finished. His school bag was sitting beside him on the floor. “I am very hungry, cousin Adira”. He said to me and didn't stop eating. It puzzled me that he was eating like he hadn't eaten food for days. If someone had told me that he had been starving for days, I would have easily believed them without any questions in my mind. I sighed and allowed him to eat the noodles, even though I had not yet eaten to my full. I went ahead to pick up my purse from the floor and gently ruffled Joseph's hair in the process. “Eat slowly. I am not going to take the noodles away from you. Don't end up choking yourself”. I said to him, and for once, he listened to me and sl

Stefan let out a low malicious chuckle, and I gritted my teeth because I had already guessed what he was going to say next. “What are we going to get in return?”. He asked me, even though it was money he clearly wanted. But, I loved that he cared about money and not what I wanted him and Philip to do for me. In order not to let things get out of control in the near future, it was best that I get my own brothers, my family, to do the dirty job for me. I didn't want to trust a stranger or a thug to get the job done for me. If I were to hire a thug, I would need to show them my face, or hire someone to meet them for me.But what if the person I hired used it against me someday? I was not ready to take any chances. If only I was an expert at this, I could easily hire an assassin without them knowing my face or the sound of my voice. “If you and Philip could make it to Blenka city tonight and get the job done for me tomorrow without any mistake, I will give both of you 50 thousand do

Adira's pov, The aroma of the red chili stew was appetizing, and I could feel it on my tongue already, despite it still cooking on the fire. As I stirred the pot of stew, with my other hand positioned at my waist, I turned to Joseph and saw that he was walking back and forth in the kitchen. I knew what was going on with him. He was hungry, and I had heard his stomach rumbling multiple times. Though after he told me what happened at school earlier today, I knew that he was the one to blame. Not really. That was simply my speculation. According to him, his mother bought burritos for him during their school break period. But he told me that he didn't eat the burritos and gave them to his friend, as he didn't like burritos but tacos. But I knew Joseph too well and could tell when he was telling a lie, because his face always turned red whenever he was telling a lie. And I knew that he had told me a lie in one way or the other. I had seen him eat burritos before when he was younger

Joseph's pov, “Aunt Becky!!”. I flinched and turned to the direction of the stairs the instant I heard cousin Adira's scream. I was very shocked and could not move any of my muscles for the next few seconds. ‘Why did cousin Adira scream my mother's name like that?’. I wondered, before my body finally moved, and I slowly stood up from the chair, with my heart pounding like the sound of drumsticks drumming on thick drums. “Wake up, Aunt Becky!!!”. Hearing cousin Adira's panicked scream again, realization hit me like a lightning strike, and I ran upstairs with only a single thought in my mind. My mother!I didn't care about my starving stomach anymore, and had even lost my appetite. I arrived upstairs and went directly to my mother's bedroom, where I saw cousin Adira. She was shaking and trying to wake up my mother, who was unconscious on the floor, with a small white container and white pills lying scattered next to her, on the floor. I ran to cousin Adira's side and knelt dow
