Invisible to her Husband のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

Leslie knew she had the upper hand now. The baby didn’t come easy. First she was just bluffing, she faked the pregnancy, but she had a follow-up plan. She planned to get pregnant for real after Nicholas married her. Things didn’t go exactly that way, but at least her other plan worked perfectly.“Thank you, Fatima,” she said sweetly. Fatima just stared at her, no words, face cold.Nicholas led Leslie inside. “I told her I kicked you out,” he whispered as he took her to one of the guest rooms. Leslie noticed the old hag and the brats were already asleep. Perfect.“Thank you so much,” she said softly as he tucked her in. Nicholas didn’t answer. He just said he’d be right back, he was getting her some water. The moment he left, Leslie let out a quiet, happy laugh. She looked around the room like it already belonged to her.A few days ago she was terrified Nicholas would find out the pregnancy was fake. The way he threw her out, sent a lawyer with no feeling at all, it scared her bad. But

Ian and Fatima had an amazing night. Ian explained his history with Isabella, how even after the summer both Ian and Raphael kept going to see her as she stayed at the cabin for a while. They didn’t know, couldn’t talk about her as she made each of them promise not to. Well, only for it to come out and for them to ask her to choose, and for her to want Nicholas.It was only one bottle but it was enough to exhaust them. After talking, they both fell asleep.Fatima woke up to Ian’s feet. Yes, they were both too wasted to think to sleep straight on the bed. After Fatima helped Ian with the blanket, she went back to the master bedroom where she took a shower. It was still like six a.m. — very early.Done, she put on warm pajamas. It was a Friday so the kids were about to be at school. Fatima wanted to prepare the kids’ breakfast. She wanted to send them off early so they wouldn’t see the drama of Leslie and Ian, she still hadn’t told Bonnie about Ian and her.Reaching downstairs, she head

Fatima, after calming down, finally let go of Ian. She awkwardly cleared her throat when she remembered Nicholas was still there with them.“I’m gonna wake the kids up,” Nicholas said, clearing his throat too.“I’ll prepare their breakfast,” Fatima answered in the same awkward tone. The two used to be married, it was normal they felt strange.“And I’m going back to sleep,” Ian said. He kissed Fatima’s forehead and almost turned to walk back to the bedroom when he stopped and faced Nicholas. “Don’t try and touch my wife.” He warned, then walked away, leaving the two feeling even more awkward.“Okay, I…” they both said at the same time. Okay, this was really embarrassing.“Actually, I had something I wanted to ask you,” Nicholas said. Fatima quickly nodded.“Sure.”“Um… Ian. Do you really love him?” He just wanted to know.“I… Nicholas, I don’t think us talking about our partners works if we’re going to try and do this co-parenting thing.” She knew there was no right answer. If she told

Ian took deep breaths to calm himself down. He tried to think about something else, but it didn’t help. He was crazy about Fatima. Seeing her in that professional outfit only made him want to take it off her even more.“I promise I’ll be fast,” he said. He leaned against the door. Fatima was on the other side.“I want to get this over with, Ian. I can’t walk into the station smelling like sex,” she replied.“I’ll just put the tip in.”“Oh my god.”“Or better yet—I can make your interrogation happen online. I can arrange it.” He sounded desperate. “Please. Just help me out.”“Not happening. Are you coming, or should I go without you?” Fatima said firmly.Ian realized she wasn’t going to change her mind. If it had been any other woman he’d been with, she would have come running. But this was Fatima. She came with complications, and that only made him want her more.Yes. He admitted it to himself. What he felt for Fatima was the same thing he felt for Isabella years ago.Love.He had to

The interrogation was cancelled immediately. They saw no need to continue once they believed the person they were supposed to be questioning was Ryan. Honestly, they were relieved, they weren’t going to have to go up against Ian. That never ended well.The Chief and Ian rushed in. Fatima just sat there silently as the officer informed her she was free to go.“What’s going on?” Ian asked, hurrying to her side. “Don’t tell me you really believe Ryan and your sister are trying to play some kind of prank on you?” He’d heard everything.The Chief and the officer were off to the side, discussing details, while Fatima listened quietly. “Yeah, he tried to pin it all on her so he could walk free,” the officer told the Chief, reaching the same conclusion Ian had drawn earlier. It hit Fatima hard: people could make a lie look so convincing it felt real.She couldn’t stop the thought from creeping in: Was her marriage to Nicholas the same thing? Just a lie he’d made her believe was real?“Get her
