All Chapters of DEAR HUSBAND, I'M DONE: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ELENA'S POV The interrogating officer fixed a long, hard stare on me, as if searching for any mistake. He still hadn’t mentioned Reid’s statement, which only made me more anxious and uneasy, but I forced myself to stay composed so I wouldn’t be easily drawn into it.I even started thinking of a believable story I could come up with, even if Reid had chosen to betray me just to protect his own name and reputation.After a few minutes, he broke the tension and asked, “What is your relationship with Clara?”I almost choked with relief, if that was even possible, because that question had been the last thing I was expecting. I had been fully prepared for him to start probing me about what I had discovered when I first walked into Clara's room, or even to inform me whether Reid's story of the incident matched up with mine. I was desperately eager to find out what Reid had told them, but asking would only raise suspicions, and I was not ready for that. I wouldn't even get my way out of it

ELENA'S POV I didn't know I would make it through the night because of the terrifying nightmare I had.Last night, after I returned from the station and went straight to bed, I saw Clara in my dream.She pleaded with me to save her, looking scared and devastated,but I kept turning my back on her. She had tried to cling to me, but I pushed her aside and strode away from her.I jolted awake, trembling and frightened. I grabbed the bottle of water by my bedside and drank thirstily. I could no longer go back to sleep for fear of seeing Clara in my dreams again, but even being awake was more terrifying, because I kept feeling and thinking that every eerie sound was her.Throughout the night, I was consumed by thoughts of Clara.I brushed and showered early in the morning; never have I been more relieved that daylight had finally come, because the night had been too terrifying and unsettling for me.When I heard a knock on the door, I flinched and nearly collapsed in shock. Who could possi

ELENA'S POV As I settled across from Reid at the table, I wondered how I had gotten myself wrapped up in all of this.“Would you like some eggs and toast?” Reid asked with a gentle smile. “They’re really good for you, especially for the babies,” he added. Without waiting for my reply, he turned to the waitress nearby and said, “Please bring us two servings of eggs and toast, along with glasses of lukewarm water.”“I’ll get that now,” she replied and walked away.Reid glanced at me. “Does she remind you of Clara?” he asked.I shook my head, not in the mood to entertain the conversation. The last place I wanted to be was here, having lunch with Doctor Reid. To my surprise, Sandra had shown up earlier with a flowing gown covered in rose petals, going on and on about Reid—her cousin.I am so thrilled that Reid seems to have developed some sort of fondness for you," Sandra had said as she gently slid the dress toward me. "He has been far too single for too long, and that needs to change,

DANIELLE'S POV Danielle waited for Jasmine to show up before she would head out for her interview. It was in one hour's time, and if Jasmine reached her hotel room in time, then she would be able to meet up for her interview.Danielle had been lodging in the hotel secretly since she left Adrian's house. She did not want to go back to her wounded and bitter mother, because she knew that somehow, her mother would figure out that her attempt to get Adrian into bed again had been in vain.But luckily, she had Adrian's mother's backing, so she did not really need her mother's negative influence. However, Danielle was slowly running short on cash."Thank heavens for this interview that I have been fortunate enough to secure," Danielle muttered to herself.This was a grand show, and after she was done, she would be paid a hefty fee; that was what truly thrilled Danielle, not that she gave a second thought about the dreadful show.Once she collected her fee, she would be able to afford a fe

DANIELLE'S POV Danielle roamed around her hotel room as she dialed Adrian's phone number repeatedly.She had to do something very fast, otherwise this tempting deal would escape her grasp, and on the other hand, if she was removed from the show, the entire world would hear about it, and it would be ruinous for her."Pick up your freaking call, Adrian!" Danielle shouted in anger, nearly smashing her phone against the door.She was becoming more agitated, because she had a small time left. If she could not get Adrian to appear with her in the interview as her partner, just as she had presented him to be, then she would be discarded like a piece of rotten meat.And if that came to pass, Danielle’s career—the same one she had fought so hard to establish—would take a steep dive, it would end her, and her damned mother would mock her all the way to ruin.Danielle would rather lose her life than allow that to occur.She continued calling Adrian again and again.“Please, Adrian, pick up!”
