All Chapters of THE WIFE HE BETRAYED, THE WOMAN HE FEARS: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Sofia's POV My nose flared in anger, and I tilted my head away from him. The last thing I want to do right now is to argue with him. Sylvia was right, I can never be in a room with Matteo without figthing with him eventually. “You know what? You can as well just forget about it.” I breathed and dashed out of the office, but I didn't get to walk so far.“And where do you think you are going?” Mattoe grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. I wasn't expecting it, so I tripped over my heels, and my body lost its balance. “Aahh!” I screamed in protest as I thought I was falling to the ground. But just like before, Mattoe grabbed my waist and held me tightly to his chest. His palm was over my mouth, and his body was glued to mine with his face just inches away from mine. “It's not nice to scream like that, Miss Estaban.” Mattoe winked at me, and I found myself drawn by his mesmerising eyes. Our eyes locked, and time froze in that moment. I tried wiggling my way out of his embrace but rat

Sofia's POV The silence in the room was thick, tense, and awkward. The board of directors, investors, and some of the management head of staff shook their head in disapproval at the first mention of my proposal. My face crumbled into a frown as I tried to understand why they weren't even willing to hear me out in the first place.“This is something I've thought about for several weeks. I've also done my research, and I can assure you all that this is one of the biggest projects we will ever embark on as a company.” I explained, making demonstrations with my hands, while most of them stared at me with a smug. I can see for sure that my brother is making more moves and gaining more grounds with some of them. I guess money has a way of ruling out common sense. “I'm sorry, Miss Estaban, but you can't just bring out a strange idea from nowhere and expect that we follow you blindly. We will not approve of this proposal.” Ricardo was the one who spoke for the rest of them, and they all a

Isabella's POV I arrived at the Estaban Global Conglomerate late into the afternoon. Ever since what happened at our company involving Aldana and Miss Sofia, my boss has been deliberately sending me away on other assignments.Especially since he returned to his temporary office here at the Estaban Global. He doesn't want me around him anymore, and even though he has refused to say it with his own mouth, his actions are as clear as day, and I can read through them. But I refuse to give up. I did not wait for three long years and endure all the numerous hurdles that I did just to watch someone else take him away from me. I would rather die than let such happen. I stepped into the company's reception, feeling fly. Having worked extra hard the past week, I have closed up the deal with the company Mattoe assigned me to, and that is going to be my perfect excuse to see him.If there's one thing that Mattoe loves about me. It is my capacity as an assistant, and that is why I have managed

Santoro's POVThe past three days have been nothing but hell. I have spent nights in my car, unable to return to the mansion. Most of the domestic staff we have are all gone due to Lucia's aggressiveness, so there has been no one to serve me food or bring me something when I need it. I would have checked into a hotel, but I have no money, which makes the matter even more infiruitating. If I continue this way, I would be dead before I know it, and my mother has not been helping matters. All she does is to call and demand money, even when I had told her plainly that I have none. I decided to take matters into my own hands, and I will not continue to wait aimlessly. That night, I dressed in an all black outfit with black cap and mask on and headed out to the mayor's office. My mother had already informed me that the protests have stopped, and the news about me is gradually fading away. My suspension seems to please people, and since no one would expect me to show up at the mayor's o

Sofia's POV.I tossed the last piece of document on the table and sat back on my chair with my head flung backwards. It's been one hectic day, and I didn't even believe that I could make it this far. My fingers ached from having signed multiple documents all day, and I felt tired, exhausted, and hungry. Later today, I will be meeting with Matteo, and we will be working on some template and model for my proposal, which I will be presenting to the board in a week. It has to be perfect, so I asked for his input since he's the only one I can trust who means well for me in this company. My phone chimed, and it rang right after. My face crumbled into a frown as I wasn't expecting anyone to call me, and the last thing I needed was any disturbance. “Aarrgghh! Who in the world is that?” I shrugged and reluctantly picked the ringing phone from the table. “Mother!” I jolted up from the chair realising who had just called me. I quickly connected the call, and the next thing I heard sent me
