Come With Me, Rejected Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

. THE INSECURITY OF LOSSMeanwhile, Fernando flew back home after a few days marked by Mariana's apparent tenderness and fragility. During that time, she never stopped showing herself to be vulnerable, needing constant support, begging for attention. She asked him to take care of her, to be with her... she even managed to get him to promise to convince Arabella to let her live with them, so she could take care of the baby.But despite the intense closeness with Mariana, the absence of Arabella began to weigh on him. Not a call, not a message. His wife's silence was unsettling. Arabella had been with him when he had nothing, when the world turned its back on him. She was his refuge, his unconditional support, his emotional pillar. He couldn't lose her. He needed to go back, apologize, and fix things.Convinced that she still loved him—that everything could be solved—he moved up his return. Mariana was angry about his decision, but she didn't protest much. After all, she had an ace u

. INEVITABLE DISTRUSTIt was the third time that Arabella had looked at the clock that night. Eduard had promised her he would arrive early, but he hadn't kept his word. Even so, she decided to make the most of her time. She took a long shower, applied an intoxicatingly fragrant cream to her skin, and carefully styled her hair. She chose one of the most elegant pajamas from the dressing room and, determined, sat on the bed to wait for him. She felt truly nervous, but María's words echoed in her mind, reminding her of the commitment she had made.Just when she thought he would leave her alone again, the door slowly opened, and Eduard's imposing figure appeared in the doorway."Hello, Arabella ," he greeted, stopping in front of her.Arabella suppressed all the rage and resentment that were boiling in her chest, forcing a smile. She stood up gently, helped him take off his coat, and unbuttoned his tie with trembling hands."How was work?" she asked as he began to relax."Good," Eduard

DELIBERATE PASSION"Madam, would you care for a cup of tea or coffee?" Antonia asked Arabella , noticing her impatience while waiting for Eduard."I've had too much tea for today, thank you, Antonia.""The master might be a while. I recommend you lie down for a bit," she suggested with a cordial smile. But just at that moment, the front door opened: it was him.His expression was hard, cold as ice. Arabella stood up when she saw him, not even giving him time to settle down. She walked towards him and took his briefcase."Eduard, how are you?""Fine. How was your day, Arabella ?"She smiled instantly, though a little embarrassed she raised her hands in a gesture of surrender; she couldn't wait to talk to him."I want to apologize for last night. I judged you wrongly.""It's okay," he replied coldly."I also want to thank you for what you did for me with the gallery owners. Being able to exhibit my works again means a lot to me," she added, her voice trembling with nerves.Eduard went

Arabella couldn't sleep that night. She thought too much about Fernando's request. She didn't want to see him, but she was afraid he would show up unannounced.The next morning, while Eduard was adjusting his tie, Arabella , determined, tried to talk to him."Eduard, do you have a moment, please?""Arabella , not now. I'm sorry," he replied coldly, without even looking at her, before leaving in a hurry.She sighed. She didn't like to act behind anyone's back, but time was not on her side. She had to face Fernando once and for all.For a moment, memories weighed on her: the years they shared, her departure without saying goodbye, the divorce settled with a signature and silence. Maybe he deserved, at least, one last conversation. Maybe she did too.Without telling anyone, she went to the hotel where Fernando was staying. He had her come up to his room. When she opened the door, Arabella hesitated. She thought about leaving. But she was already there. There was no turning back.Fernan

Arabella hadn't slept a wink all night. Spending the early hours of the morning sleepless was becoming a routine. As soon as the first ray of sun appeared, she left for her father's house without a second thought.She knew what awaited her. She prepared herself to face him, but nothing prepared her for what she found upon arriving.When the door opened, her father was already waiting for her along with María. They both looked at her with such evident contempt that it hurt. But that wasn't all.Behind them, in the living room, were her father's brothers and several cousins. They all looked at her as if she had brought ruin upon their lives."What is all this, Dad?" she asked, bewildered, her gaze sweeping over their faces."Your family, Arabella . The same one you have dragged into shame with your immoral acts. Do you forget that all of them work in my company? If your husband decides to cut the funding, do you know how many families will be left without a livelihood? We would starve,
