All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Devious Wife: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Ever since we heard the news this afternoon, I hadn’t been feeling okay. I was in a terrible nightmare I was willing to do anything to wake up from. Declan had a brain tumor in a very sensitive place, and operating meant there was a high chance he might lose his life. Choosing not to operate meant he’d die in a matter of months.We were stuck between atrocious options, but one of them had a bit of hope. One of them gave us a chance to continue our lives together. I didn’t want to be in a world he wasn’t in.He told me he had lived his life with me and without me, and he’d choose living with me every time. It was the same for me, too. I didn’t want a life in which he wasn’t there to share with me all the happy and sad moments. I didn’t want to wake up one day and realize that I wasn’t going to see him ever again.“I made up my mind, Kendra,” he told me as we sat on the couch.“Okay…” Surely, he chose the operation, right? Because why wouldn’t he? Did he want to die?“I’m not going to h

“Let’s get married.” I dropped the book I had been holding for the past twenty minutes. It wasn’t like I was paying it any attention. I hadn’t been able to focus on anything ever since we received the terrible news.“What did you just say?” I asked Declan. The two of us had been sitting on the couch in silence. While part of me wanted to rush him to make a decision, another part didn’t want to stress him. It had been three days since we delivered the news to his family. Yesterday, we told our friends, and just like his family, they wanted him to choose the surgical option.“I will do the surgery, but… I want you to be my wife before this happens,” he spoke. I immediately covered the distance between us as relief filled my heart. I flung my arms around him, and I felt him place his hands on my back, gently pressing my body against his. “There are many things I want to do before I get the surgery done, and marrying you is one of them. It’s at the top of my priority list.”“Okay, we can

Curiosity made me fidget in my seat because I couldn’t guess where my husband was taking me. It was Christmas, and after exchanging gifts with his family, he told me that he had another gift for me, but it required going somewhere.“Can you at least give me a hint?” I whined as I looked at him. Lately, I had been cancelling a lot of things related to my job because I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. I didn’t want to leave him alone because I wanted to make sure that I’d always be by his side in case something bad happened.We had been married for eight days, and although I was ecstatic that I was Mrs. Davenport again, I was scared that I might be running out of time.“Can you be patient?” He smirked, and I punched his shoulder, making him laugh. He knew he was getting on my nerves, but what he didn’t know was that I was enjoying every single moment with him and every side of him.I loved his playful side and his romantic one. I adored his caring side and the way he t

He had been in surgery for the past hour and a half. I knew I needed to be patient, but patience was a virtue I didn’t have at the time being. I wanted a doctor or a nurse to emerge out of thin air in front of us to tell us Declan was okay.I refused to cry in front of him before he was taken to the OR, but the moment I was sure he could no longer see me, I ran to the bathroom and cried my eyes out. I never knew what real fear felt like until that moment. I kept telling myself that I needed to be optimistic, but I didn’t know if I had it in me anymore. I didn’t know if I could draw a smile on my face for everyone’s sake.“Hey, drink this.” I looked up and saw Ares in front of me, extending a paper cup toward me. “It’s not coffee. It’s peppermint. I heard it helps with the nerves.” I smiled at him and took the cup from him.As I wrapped my fingers around the orange paper cup, I realized how cold I was.“How are you holding up?” I asked my brother-in-law as he took a seat beside me. I w

My heart hammered as we all waited outside his room. I wanted to be there beside him, but the doctors said we weren’t allowed inside until they were done with the check-ups. They had even pulled the curtains, so we couldn’t see what was happening inside. I didn’t know how long we stayed outside, but when the doctor walked out of his room and told us that Declan showed great signs, and it seemed like he didn’t suffer from any permanent damage, tears of joy pooled in the corners of my eyes. My husband was okay. I didn’t lose the man I couldn’t live without. The doctor allowed us to enter, but gave us strict warnings not to exhaust him, and we only had ten minutes with him. I refused to let my tears fall because I didn’t want Declan to see me cry right after he had just woken up. Lana opened the door and walked inside. I didn’t need to look at her face to know that she was smiling. When my eyes fell on him, I instantly smiled, happy to see his eyes wide open. For a moment, I saw a hi
