All Chapters of Invisible to her Husband: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

After the strange call with Nicholas earlier, Fatima began to suspect Ian. He was right in front of her, so she confronted him, but Ian denied working with Nicholas and, once again, insisted he had nothing to do with him.“So you’re trying to drive me crazy now?” Fatima questioned, because none of it made sense. And if Nicholas had really sent Ian to seduce her on purpose, then he would lose every last bit of respect she still had for him, because that would be beyond disgusting.Fatima sent Ian away, claiming she needed to be alone. Ian only left because he was needed for business, but not before offering her a deal, he said he could help her get her kids back from Nicholas, help her fight for full custody. Fatima knew he probably could, but she remained skeptical.For all she knew, this could still be one of Nicholas’s games, another attempt to mess with her sanity.She went back to the gardens and buried herself in wedding magazines, keeping busy with her sister’s plans. She made a

Nicholas had set their meeting at one of Ian’s clubs, exactly the one where he had kissed his wife, using it now as leverage.“My man.” Nicholas stood as Ian walked over to the table he had reserved for them.“Nicholas.” Ian replied, and they exchanged a manly greeting, a firm handshake, before both took their seats.“Vodka,” Nicholas said as Ian sat down. “I know it’s still your go-to.”“It is, except I’m not drinking today,” Ian answered. The situation was already awkward for him. He knew Nicholas was aware of his recent closeness with Fatima, so why call this meeting now? And why was he acting so friendly?“Well, I need it,” Nicholas said, trying to lighten the mood. “After that horrible trip with my mistress, and with my situation, I really need it.”“If it’s drinking you need, mate, you should’ve called Ryan. I’m not really up for that,” Ian replied, standing when Nicholas stopped him from taking a step by mentioning Fatima.“I know you kissed her.” Nicholas placed his drink down

Fatima spent time with her kids, God knows how much she had missed them. There was a second she thought she would never see them again, but apparently, there was something good left in Nicholas, because here he was, leaving them with her.“The school is very beautiful, Mommy,” Bonnie said, speaking of the schools they had visited in London. “But I can’t go there, it’s very far.” She looked at Fatima with hopeful eyes, and Fatima nodded understandingly, wondering if Nicholas had shown the kids the school because he was planning to move them. But if so, why did he let her see them now?“Are you hungry?” Fatima asked Bonnie, since Wave seemed to have fallen asleep in her arms.“No, Mommy, we had a lot to eat,” Bonnie answered, looking at her mother with pitiful eyes. She had a few questions, but she figured since they were back now, she could wait and ask them tomorrow. She didn’t want to ruin the moment. “I love you, Mommy.” She rested her head on her mother’s lap. Fatima felt that warm

The room was silent. Fatima kept staring at the video, hoping somehow that this was all a bad dream. She didn’t want to look, but her eyes couldn’t tear away.“You could have asked me, sis. I could have hooked you up,” Madelyn said calmly. She was upset with her sister, this was a dumb move. At least she could have found someone else, but choosing his friend? That was just messed up.Fatima didn’t respond. Now she was reading the comments, scrolling through as many as she could. People were calling her all sorts of names. Some even said it didn’t matter what the man did, this was wicked. She was wicked.Yes, the internet was now calling her the monster, saying Nicholas must be going through so much after such a betrayal. Of course, they didn’t know the full story. They didn’t know this was taken out of context, or that Nicholas was actually the one at fault.She had poured seven years into this marriage. Slept with no other man but him. Held him down when he needed it, and God knew Ni

Nicholas took one last sip of his drink as his daughter’s cries finally began to fade. She had been crying for over an hour, but now she seemed to have fallen asleep.He stood outside the room the entire time, listening as Mrs. Wilson tried to soothe her. Luckily, Wave was still asleep, thank God for his heavy sleep, because he didn’t know how he would have handled both of them crying at once.The door opened, and Nicholas straightened as Mrs. Wilson stepped out.“They’re both asleep now, sir. You can go to bed,” she said kindly.Nicholas nodded, relief washing over him, even though he knew it would only last until morning. Bonnie would wake up angry, still hating him for taking them away from their mother, and he would go right back to feeling like shit.“Thank you.”“Of course, sir. I think it would be best if I slept in their room tonight.”“Yes, yes. Of course,” he said quickly. She wished him goodnight and was about to close the door when Nicholas stopped her. “May I ask you some
