All Chapters of Married To My Nemesis: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Despite her failed plans to make him fall for her yesterday, Hermione was still optimistic about the next day. She was determined to at least get a kiss this time. As the sun began to rise over the horizon, they were already on a boat being driven to their first snorkeling location. The operator had briefed them on what they needed to know as they went. Rhys and Hermione were already in full gear, ready to explore the underwater world. Their tour featured three spots, and each swim would be at least an hour long depending on the currents. When they arrived at the first location, Hermione finally took off the big sweater she was wearing, revealing a pair of coral pink bikinis underneath. She tried to ignore Rhys's heated gaze as she started gearing up. She turned to him and batted her lashes. "Can you help me with my snorkel?" She watched as his eyes traveled down before he swallowed.

The news hit the media like a hurricane. The collapse came from a chain reaction of problems that had been strategically planned. But the first one to hit the headlines was the bankruptcy of Sterling Corporation. They had suffered massive losses and falling sales due to the workplace fire and the withdrawal of investors. Then, to finish it off, Cole made a bad investment that completely fell through. Their stock prices crashed instantly. Rumors of Cole's conflict with the board of directors also resurfaced. They had lost trust in him and his judgment and had forced him to step down a long time ago, but he fought them. Because of that, many investors had started selling their shares, and their partners backed away. The media was already running with the rumors and dragging Cole through the mud. Some even brought up his relationship with Adriana, claiming he spent company funds trying to push her career. Adriana, m

"I want prawns." "It's forty pounds per kilogram." "Forty pounds? These aren't even premium prawns. How could they be this expensive?" "Then go buy somewhere else," the rude vendor snapped, waving her off. Hermione quickly took a step back. Rhys was a few stalls over, inspecting some potatoes, and had left her in charge of handling the seafood. After studying the market for a while, she'd learned something. This place was foreign compared to the supermarkets she'd been to all her life. But it wasn't entirely alien to her. The local market was like a business deal, with negotiations taking place. People didn't just take the price offered to them. Customers haggled it down until it became affordable. She'd watched it on TV a lot and was a bit excited by the prospect. She took some cash from her pocket, fifteen pounds, and slapped it on the woman's table.

The next morning was tranquil. Hermione lay on the bed gazing at the sleeping Rhys. A splitting grin was on her face. She could count the number of days she'd actually felt genuine happiness, and this was certainly at the top of the list. Despite the soreness she felt between her legs, her smile didn't waver. Her plan had worked. Her plan had actually worked. Didn't this mean Rhys was already softening up to her? Their relationship was progressing. Soon, she would tell him the truth — the honest truth — and ask for his forgiveness. In her happiness, she stroked his face before planting a kiss on his forehead. Then another on his cheek, on his nose, and finally, on his lips. Rhys stirred, and his hand found her waist. He moaned into the kiss before opening his eyes slowly. "Someone's in a good mood today," he murmured. "Aren't I always in a good mood?" She raised a brow

The restaurant was buzzing with guests. After placing their order, they started chatting again. "So what happened, Judith? What are you doing here?" Rhys asked, sitting up. Judith sat across from them sipping a glass of water. "I work in the city as a consultant. I got an offer here after college, so I had to leave," Judith replied modestly. "You could have at least kept in touch." Judith sighed, glancing at her hands before looking up. "I'm sorry. I had a lot going on back then." "Oh." A moment of understanding seemed to pass between them. Hermione glanced between them in confusion and decided to enter the conversation. "It's nice meeting another of my husband's friends from college. The only one I know is Dean." "Dean. How is he?" Judith asked with a wide smile. "He's fine. He has a girlfriend now and is doing well."
