Semua Bab More Than His Brother's Ex-Wife: Bab 1 - Bab 5

NATALIE A sharp pain stabbed through my chest like my heart was physically tearing apart. My fingers twitched at my sides, my nails pressing into my palm to stop them from shaking.I gazed at Adrian who took another slow sip of wine, his fingers relaxed around the stem of the glass. Like we were discussing a business deal, not the end of a marriage.“What do you mean a divorce?” “Yes, you heard me—” His sophisticated tone filled the room. No act of remorse or regret for what he's said. “This marriage isn't going anywhere.” What? What did he just say to me? “What do you mean this marriage isn't going anywhere?!” Out of hurt, my tone raised but I tried my best to remain calm although it was difficult. “It's not me who goes about claiming to be single in your place of work. I'm not the one who has been cold and indifferent towards me.”“Honey, you're shouting.” “Am I supposed to be cool with this?” I looked at the document resting on the table. According to Adrian, it was a divo

NATALIEBefore I could take in what I saw a while ago, the door to the ward flung open. I turned to see Adrian. He walked past me and didn't utter a word to me. It was either he saw me and didn't acknowledge it—an act he was used to when we were married, or he probably didn't see me. I didn't know what to do, what to say. What could I possibly do? All I did was watch in amazement how Adrian kissed that woman. She lay back on the bed after receiving a kiss from him and now, Adrian was adjusting the blanket used to cover her. How come I didn't see this part of him? How didn't I get to meet this? All through our marriage, there wasn't an act like this. Not even once and it made me wonder if there was something I wasn't doing. Adrian kissed her again. I didn't hear their conversation, couldn't hear it, but the woman, whoever she was, was shedding tears. Tears that weren't necessary. “Aww, can you see that?” The voices of so many in the space confused me. My thought process sca

NATALIEMr. Wolfe asked. “What woman?” Before the butler could give him an answer, the entrance door opened again. This time, Adrian walked in with Serena Beaumont, the woman from the hospital. He held her hand and together, they led their way into the living room. “Hello, Mom!” He hailed. “Hello, Dad.” Without any shame, he looked in my direction. “Good evening, Natalie. I see you came.” And then he walked to a couch to take a seat. Serena sat by his side and didn't stop smiling. “I didn't know you were coming with a lady, Adrian.” My thoughts were interrupted by Mr. Wolfe's next words. “Did you tell me about this?” “Oh, no, Dad.” Adrian answered. “I thought it didn't make any difference. You know, you're going to meet my woman at the end of the day.” He cast a glance at Serena Beaumont before looking at everyone in the room. “Allow me to introduce Serena Beaumont to you.” He spoke with so much pride, and no respect for me. Now I thought about the fact that I shouldn't have c
