All Chapters of The Billionaire's Resentful Wife : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

No one said this to her, but the mansion, once unbearable and cold was suddenly alive again, filled with laughter, hurried footsteps, and a warmth that had never once existed for her. Servants smiled. The air felt lighter as she came back. Lily. Her young sister. His one true love, and Elara realized that she was a mere substitute in her place, and nothing belongs to her, not even her husband. The storm began the moment Lily came back, not just outside but inside her life too. Thunder cracked across the sky violently. The rain lashed against the glass window panel of the mansion.The wind howled throughout the night, rattling the silence that had once lived there. But the situation inside her life was even worsen.
