All Chapters of Come With Me, Rejected Wife: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Two months laterEduard and Arabella were brand-new parents. The love between them was still intact, but the sleepless nights, the little one's sudden cries, and those they couldn't decipher had them exhausted."Are you sure you don't want a nanny to help you?" Eduard asked, watching her on the couch, her arms limp with tiredness. "My beautiful, this motherhood job is too hard.""No, that's what I'm here for. I know I can do it alone, my love. Go to the company without worry. Everything will be fine. You've been away for a long time. You need to catch up with business."He sat beside her and let out a sigh."It's true, Arabella ... but nothing is more important than you two. I'll come home early every day. I'll help you with the baby, and I'll take care of the nights so you can sleep."She looked him directly in the eyes."Don't worry about that now, darling. The job of being parents is eternal. There's no time to stop. Have you heard the saying? 'Small children, small problems.' Wel

Caleb sank into the armchair, burying his face in his hands. Eduard watched him in silence for a few seconds, trying to give him space.—"What happened?" Eduard finally asked, as he gave him a pat on the back.Caleb took a deep breath.—"It's over, Max…" he looked up, and his eyes still shone with rage and pain. "She left. Just like that, from one day to the next, and she only left a damn note on the table, saying she was now in love with someone else."Eduard clenched his jaw.—"How long have you known?"—"A couple of weeks… but I didn't want to accept it." Caleb let out a bitter laugh. "In the end, she didn't just ask for a divorce, she also took the house, the properties… everything. She left me with empty hands. I don't know if that damn idiot she got involved with manipulated her, but I lost everything, damn it, everything."Arabella , who had returned with a cup of tea for him, placed it on the table and looked at him with compassion.—"I'm so sorry, Caleb…"—"Thank you," he rep

The next morning, the light was barely breaking the horizon when Eduard got up. He made no noise so as not to wake up Arabella or the baby. He walked through the mansion in silence, checking doors, windows, and hallways. He found Antonia in the kitchen preparing coffee."Antonia," he said in a low, serious tone, "anything out of the ordinary, any noise, any stranger… you call me immediately. No matter the time, understood?"She looked at him with a frown."Yes, sir, of course. Is something wrong?""No," he lied, giving her a look that shut down any further questions. "Just… be alert. You know, it's always better to be prepared. These days, security is a little weak."Eduard had omitted telling Arabella what was happening with Fernando. He didn't want her to worry.He didn't eat breakfast. He got into the car and drove straight to the company. Clara was waiting for him in his office, with a couple of folders already on the table."I've contacted two private investigators," she began

The day of the baptism had finally arrived. Eduard was nervous, looking everywhere as if he expected something to happen at any moment. Arabella noticed, raised an eyebrow, and was about to ask him what was wrong, but a smiling Pandora took her by the arm and dragged her toward the altar."Come on, Arabella . Today is your daughter's day, not your worries," she whispered, encouraging her to smile.She obeyed. During the ceremony, Hope slept peacefully in her mother's arms while the priest pronounced the sacred words. The godparents, Pandora and Caleb, looked happy and proud, exchanging knowing glances. At first glance, everything seemed perfect, but the stiffness on Eduard's face still showed the concern that had burdened him for the past few days, which he had decided not to share with his wife, because at that moment, he had no certainty of anything.At the end, a small group of guests moved to the mansion. There were no crowds or exaggerated protocols, just close family, and a han

Eduard couldn't even fall into a dream that night. He stayed awake until dawn, wandering through the house in silence, going over every corner like a paranoid guardian. As day broke, he went into the room, kissed Arabella 's and his daughter's foreheads, and left for the police station. This time, he went alone, without bodyguards, without a driver. He couldn't trust his security detail.About thirty minutes later, Hope's crying broke the stillness of the room. Arabella opened her eyes, groggy, and was immediately surprised. It was usually Eduard who got up early to attend to the baby. With a frown, she sat up and breastfed the little one."Eduard!" she called him while stroking the baby's fine hair. "Honey, where are you?"The silence was absolute. No one answered. She frowned, took the cell phone from the table, and turned it on. As soon as the device started to pick up a signal, the message inbox filled with notifications.Her heart skipped a beat. She opened the first one. Then t
