All Chapters of The Forsaken Wife's Empire: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

(Patricia’s POV)“Ohh, Raymond,” I groaned softly, lost in the pleasure.“You like it, huh?” he murmured, his voice low and husky.I swallowed hard and nodded, my hands tightening around his neck. I enjoyed every moment. I loved the way he made love to me.“Fas-ter… please,” I whispered.I loved Raymond. He was very attentive and always listened to me. He pulled me closer and increased his pace, moving faster but still gentle. I couldn’t hold back anymore and found myself moaning uncontrollably.After a short while, my breathing became uneven and my eyes rolled back. I was close... so close. Lost in my own world, I could hear Raymond moaning too. His soft sounds felt like music in my ears. He moved faster, and I knew he was close as well.He thrust a few more times, and that was when I reached my peak. He released a deep breath, and I felt the warmth as he finally relaxed too.He lay beside me and pulled me into his arms. We were both breathing hard, trying to catch our breath.This w

(Patricia’s POV)I sat quietly in the back seat, staring out through the tinted window. The city passed by in a blur as we drove toward the office. It had been days since my last encounter with the Bedfords, and just as I expected, they called to accept my terms.They agreed to sell the house along with everything inside it. I handed the entire purchase process over to James to handle because I was busy at the moment.The deadline for the major construction project was approaching fast, and we were pushing hard to complete it before the due date. Thankfully, all the issues raised earlier by the contractors had been resolved.The project ended up costing more money and resources than we initially planned because of those challenges. Still, we were determined to deliver top-quality work that met Smithfield’s standards. Delaying the project was not an option... not even for a single day. That wasn’t how we operated.My driver’s phone rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. His brows tighten

(Patricia’s POV) “I know this is a difficult time, but always remember... you are the president of this company,” James said quietly as we walked toward the meeting hall. Just as expected, the shareholders had called for an emergency meeting that evening. They were furious about the ongoing scandal. Not just them... almost everyone was. Still, I had remained calm through the storm. Raymond had told me to stay calm. >> “Everything will be fine, honey. I will make sure of it.” Those were his exact words. He had made me promise not to let the accident break me. “You may have equal rights with the shareholders under the company’s rules,” James continued, his voice steady and reassuring, “but your authority is greater. Don’t let them intimidate you in there.” I swallowed hard and nodded. My eyes drifted to the meeting hall doors, fully aware of what was waiting for me behind them. Since becoming the president of Smithfield, I had faced many challenges. But I had never felt pressure

(Patricia’s POV)I had been walking around the hospital grounds for almost an hour now. This was where everything began. The hospital where I was treated, and where I met the late Mr. Smith.My heart felt heavy, my mind crowded with countless thoughts. I wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn’t met him that morning... if he hadn’t handed his properties over to me.I wouldn’t have been able to avenge my child’s death. I wouldn’t have had the resources to take everything the Bedfords owned.I had promised him I would take care of his properties. But now his nephew had appeared, ready to take over. Should I quietly hand everything over to him? I had already taken my revenge. There was nothing left that I needed power for.Would Mr. Smith finally be at peace knowing the company was now in the hands of his own blood? Maybe if Alonso had shown interest back then, Mr. Smith would have handed everything to him himself.“Mrs. Addison?” a voice called out, sounding uncertain.I sw

(Patricia’s POV)“In conclusion, business goes beyond hard work. It requires perseverance, resilience, and respect for the people who make growth possible,” I said calmly.Polite applause filled the hall as I stepped away from the microphone. I smiled warmly, scanning the room filled with business leaders and influential figures from different sectors of society.I had been specially invited to this conference, and since I was one of the keynote speakers, I chose to honor the invitation... despite the scandal spreading all over the internet.The police were still investigating the collapse, and until my company was officially found guilty, I had no reason to hide from anyone. Especially not from the press.“Thank you, Mrs. Addison, for that outstanding speech,” the MC said gently. “Would you be willing to take a few questions?”Questions? That sounded more like a judgment than curiosity. Still, other speakers had gone through question-and-answer sessions. I couldn’t skip mine. So I no
