All Chapters of THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Adrian’s Pov I woke up to an empty bed and rumpled sheets in the spot that was supposed to be Clara's. I stirred, each spot of the bed I touched reminded me of what happened the previous night. How magical it was. How we claimed every spot on the bed and some spots on the floor too. I'd never seen my wife in the light I saw her the previous night, it felt like she was a different person and the only question that coursed through my mind as I took her was "how did I miss all this?"I had no idea she had a mole behind her left ear, I also didn't know her eyes turned blue when she was aroused. And her cheeks, cherry red. "Gosh." I muttered, dragging a palm down my face. My sheets smelled like her but they were cold, she'd been gone a long time. I strained out of bed and limped my way down the stairs. The maids greeted me with a knowing smile. They'd probably heard us yesterday. I cleared my throat, "where is my wife?" My voice came out hoarse as I asked after Clara, my eyes scann

Clara's povAdrian acted strange for the next few days, knocking at my door early in the morning and asking me to help bathe him or help feed him. Most times, he would show up shirtless. One of the days, he showed up with a towel tied around his waist and soap suds scattered on his upper body. I'd turned him down, giving excuses like being busy with work or trying to calculate something or that I was about stepping out of the house. He didn't complain but I saw the way his face twisted with disappointment each time I turned him down. I did it for my heart, for my own safety. I couldn't let myself get lost in the mirage of his affection. What happened that night was... Just a mistake. One I didn't plan to make ever again. The plan was to get the marriage over with until things started going otherwise. Adrian wasn't as cold hearted as he used to be since that night, at least I noticed the way he stole glances at me that night his mother and sister came to report me to him. And the

Clara's pov"Th.. That can't be right, doctor." I stuttered, my heartbeat sounding in my ears. The doctor heaved a sigh before handing me a test result he'd kept in the pocket of his lab coat. "Well, have you been intimate recently?" I instinctively arched my brows at his question, almost shaking my head at his question when the image of that night flashed through my memory. My hands found their way to my mouth as it fell open. "Shit."Another sigh from the doctor as if he understood how I felt. Hell, I didn't even know how I felt. I just found out I fell pregnant for my husband who I want to divorce. "Do you need help telling your husband?" He asked again but I caught a grip immediately, shaking my head. "No no, I would.. Umm tell him myself." I peeled my hand from my mouth. He nodded. "Alright then. This is good news. You were only experiencing the early symptoms but you should rest as much as you can." He advised me but I wasn't following up anymore. I started into the wall

Adrian's pov I was stunned. I'd never been this shocked nor have I been caught unawares like this before. I was still processing the news Elena shared when Clara stormed out. How..? What the fuck? "... Adrian?" Elena called, her voice sharp enough to make me shift my gaze to her face. She closed the distance, her hands holding my cheeks. "You don't have to be scared, baby, this is a good thing. This is just what we needed." I didn't say anything. I was lost for words. "Now, you need to come back home so we can talk about this. You love me, we can make this work.""Elena..""Ssh, you don't have to say anything. I too was surprised when I found out. That was what I've been trying to tell you but you wouldn't speak with me. This is our blessing. A confirmation that we are meant to be together." She continued, not giving me time to think. "But, Clara.." She waved her hand across her face as though waving the topic aside. "She never mattered in our lives, she will come around. Ju

3rd person PovClara spent the night packing her things. Not that she had a lot of things, but she was getting ready to leave at dawn. She sent a text to Adrian's company the previous night. She was going to expose the corrupt officials, give them something to fight about. Something big on their plates while she slips out without anyone noticing. She was glad that the old man would soon be up but sad that she wouldn't be here to see him bounce back.Meanwhile, after Elena left the mansion that day, she went to meet up with someone else. Someone who knew what was going on without being there in person. Silas. "How did it go?" "Went well, Adrian's confused. But I know he can't say no to me. Just give him some time and Clara will be forgotten just like before." He was not impressed with this. He wanted more, needed more. Something stronger. Something more permanent. "That won't do."Elena arched her brows, surprised at his words. "She knows too much. She's going to leak our iden
