He Cheated, So I Bought A Husband 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

DOMINIC My phone buzzed in my pocket as Sam and the rest of my bodyguards escorted me out of the hospital. Only a few reporters had remained as the majority had gone home.“Hello?” My voice echoed through the phone as I answered it.“Mr Sinclair, it's Agent Merle, the FBI director,” the voice said, calm but polite.“Hmm.” I chuckled, stretching back on my seat. “Are you calling to arrest me again?”“Absolutely not, sir,” he said in an apologetic tone. “The other day was a mistake and I'm terribly sorry.”“I forgive you,” I replied with a smirk as I brought out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket. “So, what's the latest?”“We're still not sure, sir.” Merle said, “I mean, we've inspected the entire place for fingerprints or anything, but still we got nothing.”As he spoke, I lit the piece of the cigarette between my lips. Then, I blew the smoke out the window before offering a piece to Sam.“So you're saying that the fire was in fact, a freak accident?” I hissed, dragging another sip o

CLAIREKevin's eyes narrowed with a smirk on his face as I glared at him. My chest throbbed softly against his arms as he held me.My lips fell apart in extreme shock, my eyes saying a million words before my tongue could say one.“I… I really don't know what to say right now, Kevin…” I muttered, my voice carrying a sense of unease.He smiled. “You don't have to say anything. Just consent to my proposal.”My grip around his arm tightened and in a moment, I broke eye contact and pushed him away, turning to face the mirror behind me.“I don't… I don't think I can do it, Kevin.” I stuttered with a shaky breath.“Why not?” He asked, flicking my hair from my right shoulder to the left, exposing that side of my neck.“You know I don't like you right?” I hissed, crossing my arms. “I never did. I only hooked up with you to make Audrey jealous.”“I know.” He replied, “That's why I want to help you.”I hesitated for a moment before turning to face him, my curious gaze meeting his eyes. “And how

AUDREY For the first time in a long time, I felt quite happy as today was a very special day for us.Vickie and the other maids set the table with different kinds of delicacies, especially my personal favourite, pumpkin pie and cheesecake for dessert.Richard sat beside me and smiled at the chicken breast in front of him. “Thank God I'm not celebrating Thanksgiving in the hospital.” He muttered.I smiled back at him, but then it faded in an instant. Kevin and Claire walked elegantly toward the table and sat beside one another as Claire smirked at me.I ignored them, unwilling to let anything ruin my mood at all. My dad had also invited some of his friends to join us at dinner, including Sam.“Please join us, Vickie,” I said as she was about to leave with the other. Slowly, I turned to my dad. “If you don't mind, Dad, I'd like Vickie to join us at the table.”He hesitated for a while before nodding, completely aware that we were very close. Vickie forced a smile as she looked at me be

RICHARD I stood still behind the pillar upstairs, watching closely as the maids cleared the table. Dominic and Kevin had left immediately after the Thanksgiving dinner, alongside his friends, whom he had invited.“Now's my chance,” I mused out loud before turning in the direction of Audrey's room. She hadn't said a single word to me since she went to confront Dominic about Kevin's intention to marry Claire.She had locked her door from the inside, a sign that she didn't want to be disturbed… perfect timing!Slowly, I crept past her room and headed for Dominic's room, eyes glancing back to make sure no one was watching.Slowly, I unlocked the door and the moment I entered his room, I went straight to his file drawers.“Francine… Come on, where are you?” I mused out loud as I navigated through the files, trailing my eyes down every writing and pictures on every page.Pissed because I couldn't find anything, I tossed the files carelessly aside and I opened another file.“Come on…” I mut

AUDREY My gaze narrowed as I crossed my arms at that moment. Richard's stare froze the moment he saw me, shocked.Then I took a step toward him, gaze trailing with a mixture of shock and suspicion as it switched between them.“Richard,” I muttered as I raised an eyebrow, “What is going on here?”“Nothing,” Richard replied with a half smile. “I asked Vickie to show me around the mansion.”My eyes narrowed even more. “You've been here for quite a while now,” I replied, shaking my head slightly as I stared at Vickie. “I thought you’d be familiar with the mansion by now.”Richard smiled. “Well, it is a huge mansion,” he said “And besides, I spent quite some time in the hospital… twice.”My lips instantly curled downwards that moment. I heaved a sigh of distress as my chest ached.“I'm… sorry.” I whimpered, forcing a smile at him.Richard then approached me and held my hand as he stared into my sad eyes.“Hey,” he whispered as I looked up. “I never said it was your fault. I'm sorry.”At t
