Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Devious Wife: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Was it stupid of me to agree to this meeting? Probably. I guess my curiosity was going to be the death of me one day, but I wanted to know what she wanted to talk to me about.Part of me already knew that she was going to talk about how it was all one big misunderstanding, and I wasn’t going to fall for that. However, at some point in my life, this woman became the mother figure I yearned for, and only because of that, I felt like I owed her something, so I agreed to meet her.“Nice to see you, Mrs. Davenport,” I said as I approached her. We decided to meet at a very nice restaurant that was known for valuing the privacy of their customers. Even if you sat beside a window, the paps wouldn’t be able to get any pictures of you because they simply wouldn’t be able to see you from the outside.“Mrs. Davenport? I would always be Meryl to you, Kendra,” she replied as she stood up. She looked hesitant for a moment, but then she made the decision to hug me. I stayed still for a couple of seco

I was never the kind of man interested in visiting the opening of a gallery. I had never truly been interested in art. I only started paying attention to it after Kendra came into my life. But this wasn’t a normal gallery. It was Kendra’s, and that was enough to clear my calendar for the day.I watched her entire interview and listened closely to everything she said. When she said that she planned on inviting us, I had to double-check because, for a moment, I thought I was starting to imagine things. I called Lana, knowing she was watching too, to make sure of what I heard, and she told me Kendra truly said that, so I didn’t miss the chance. I wasn't going to waste an opportunity to see her.I wasn’t the only one going from my family, though. She invited all of us, and we all decided to show up. Lana was pretty excited to see her, but she was also scared. She wasn’t the only one who felt like that.I was petrified because I knew that although she was practically forced to invite us, si

“There’s something I’d like to talk to you about,” my CFO said as he took a seat. “What is it?” I wondered. George requested to meet me, saying he had something important to discuss with me. George and I rarely held meetings, so when my personal assistant told me he had asked to meet me, I knew there was something that couldn’t be said over an email.“Have you heard about Artland?” I frowned at the name he mentioned. I had a feeling I had heard it before somewhere, but I couldn’t exactly determine what it was.“What is it?” I wondered.“It’s an online store that specializes in art products,” he explained, and I slowly nodded.“I believe its ad popped up while I was scrolling once,” I told him. “What’s wrong with it, though?”“Nothing is wrong with it at all,” George said. “It’s actually getting more popular because it has all the art supplies you could ever imagine. If something isn’t available in the USA, you can submit a request, and they can get it for you from anywhere a

The ground shook beneath me as the loud music rocked the place. It had been so long since I last set foot here. The place had changed a lot because Elijah had made a lot of changes.Clubbing stopped being my scene a long time ago, but I needed a change more than anything. I thought that with her return, things might be easier, but man, was I a fool. If anything, things became way harder than I imagined. At first, she was too far from me because I didn’t know where she was. Now, she was back, yet she felt further than she used to be.“Maybe we should go on a guys’ trip somewhere,” Bryce suggested as I nursed my glass of whiskey.“Sounds good to me,” I was the first one to voice my approval. I traveled a lot this year, but all my travels were business trips. I hadn’t had a vacation in so long because I had been drowning myself in work. I needed to slow down. I wasn’t getting younger, and I needed to enjoy my life.I had been living in the past, thinking one day the future I wanted would

I had been awake for a while in that bed, thinking about last night. I took Claire to a hotel, and we spent the night together. I couldn’t say I didn’t enjoy the night, but I would be a liar if I said I hadn’t compared Claire to Kendra in every single thing. I knew that it was an asshole move, but I couldn’t stop my mind from doing that.No matter what I did, she consumed my thoughts in a weird way that made me want to scream at myself at the top of my lungs for being unable to forget about her.I got out of bed and took a quick shower, then changed into my clothes from last night. When I walked back into the room, I found Claire already awake.“Good morning.” She smiled at me. Claire was really beautiful, but her beauty wasn’t enough to make me forget about Kendra.“Morning,” I said. That was awkward. I didn’t know what to tell her. There wasn’t anything we could talk about. She was just a beautiful woman that I slept with and nothing more.I tried so hard last night not to watch her
