บททั้งหมดของ My Husband Faked His Death, So I Moved on : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

21: Trouble in a not so ParadiseAURORAMy morning alarm went off for the third time, and I was about to hit snooze when my mom barged in and threw a pillow at me. I stretched, trying to get up, but my whole body ached.“You have a visitor!”“What? It’s so early in the morning,” I yawned, turning to the other side of the bed and covering myself with my duvet.“It’s 11 a.m. What do you mean too early?” my mom yelled, dragging the duvet off me. I tried to grab it back, but she threw it to the other side of the room. I rolled my eyes and stood up.“I can’t wait to leave your house,” I said jokingly, and she burst into laughter.“Me too. Emilia is in the living room,” she said as she walked off. How could she just drop a bombshell like that and leave? Emilia? I jumped out of bed and ran to the living room. Emilia was back?She had taken a long leave when she got married, and a few weeks later, I was thrown into prison. I hadn’t seen her since then, though she always sent messages when I

Chapter 23: Might Be a Bad IdeaAURORAI wasn’t sure if I was making the right decision, but I had no choice. I needed to get them off my neck. The threats were scary and it kept on coming . I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing, especially after Bryan’s mother announced on the company platform that I was the new owner. I knew this was a trap, but I was willingly falling into it.For someone who said she didn’t want to involve Damon in her life anymore, he was the first person I called and that was only because I needed advice. I just wanted his help, not friendship or whatever that was. I needed professional legal advice. I know i told him to stay out of my path but he was the one who titled himself as “my legal guardian “ and if i needed help _ Legal help , i could go to him right ? afterall he wasn’t just my ex fiancee , he was a lawyer too , a good one at that . “So… you’ve decided to accept it?” Emilia asked, an eyebrow raised and her eyes searching mine. I nodded. My mom scof

Chapter 24: The Wolfe Family House“It’s done… we traced her to the location you gave us. I must say, she’s quite gullible.”The voice came from the other end of the phone and Gracie burst into laughter. She had orchestrated the ambush. She wanted Aurora to know exactly what she’d started , there was much more coming, and she was just getting started. She’d gone out of her way to throw Aurora in prison, and if Aurora thought being discharged and acquitted meant freedom, she was mistaken. Aurora was her son’s killer, and she would remain so.“Good. Tell your boys I’ll need them to handle someone else for me. Good job tonight.” She hung up, moving to the balcony with a glass of wine in hand. She sipped and nodded with satisfaction.“Nonsense!”“What could be the reason for this celebration, Mom?” Wendy asked from behind.“I sent some of my boys to pay her a visit.”“Aurora?”“Who else?” Gracie shot back.“Is she really taking the company? Why are you giving it to her? Isn’t that a ba

Chapter 27: The Handover 1AURORAI was expecting a lot of things today. Firstly, I was officially taking over Bryan’s company , the handover was today. I wasn’t expecting the Wolfe family to throw a party for me; I expected nothing short of embarrassment.Secondly, I was meeting Bryan’s employees. I was never part of his business when we were married. Bryan said I was a typical housewife. Sadly, I wasn’t allowed to attend company events and dinners after my dad died because, obviously, my dad was no longer attending so there was nobody to put on a show for. Bryan either went with his mother or went alone.Lastly, he was owing these staff members money. Investors who were expecting their percentage would be around too. How was I going to make these people believe in my vision for this company?“It’s not a fashion show…” my mom said from behind as I searched around my scattered room, which I had turned inside out for the perfect outfit.“That doesn’t mean I should show up looking lik

Chapter 29: The New BossAURORAThe handover ceremony didn’t end before the Wolfe family disappeared. I guess they didn’t see the need to show their faces and pretend anymore. People came to congratulate me, some gave words that felt like threats, and others just ignored me.I simply kept a polite smile on my face, my hand out for a handshake whenever someone approached, until the hall began to empty. Soon, all seven board members walked towards my table and I stood to greet them.“We are hoping you can correct your husband’s wrongs,” one of them said. I gave the same practiced smile I had been offering everyone.“I’m not comfortable with him being called my husband. Let’s go with Bryan, please,” I added with a smile, trying not to sound rude but honestly, I didn’t care. The number of times I’ve been referred to as his wife was sickening.“What’s your agenda for the company?” another one asked.“I was hoping to hold a meeting with all staff members and the board to discuss the way for
