All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Briar’s POVMy night was awful and I really wish it wasn’t. I couldn’t catch a wink of sleep after that harsh reality I was forced to face last night. I couldn’t even bring myself to eat the delicious meal Gibson and I had worked so hard on all day. It tasted watery in my mouth and my stomach rejected every bite. Still, I left my bed rejuvenated and determined to make the announcement to Adrian again. He was probably jet-lagged yesterday which prevented him from expressing himself truly. I plan to make his favorite tea to relax this morning. “Good morning, Gibson. How was your night?” I asked as I stepped into the kitchen. Gibson held up his signature smile. “Good morning, Miss Briar. My night was fine. You didn’t seem to have slept much.” I patted my swollen face. “I guess. Do you know if Adrian is awake? I want to take his tea to him. I am guessing it’s the one you are making.” I pointed at the cup he was stirring. He nodded in response. “Yes, it is. You want to serve it to hi

Briar’s POVAs the rain thundered against the window, my chest tightened and tears flowed nonstop. It’s been two months of darkness in my life. My little one grows inside me healthily, but I worry that my sadness might deprive the child of a full life. How can I be happy when everything around me is crumbling?Isadora has turned herself into a blood-sucking monster always looking to make me the bad guy. And Adrian is readily available to rebuke me on her behalf. He doesn’t even spare a moment of reasoning. To be sure the lies told against me were true. I have started living in the house like a guest and she is the lady of the house. I still don’t know why she still lives with us. As each day passes, I detest Adrian for hurting me this much. For making me a shadow of myself and ridiculing me in front of his ex-lover whom he insists is just his friend. I wanted to revisit his notion of me. It made no sense that he didn’t have any affection towards me and only saw me as a breeding cow.

Five Years LaterBriar’s POV“Congratulations to us at Ford’s interior design for becoming a partner with the AS real estate empire. To more amazing deals ahead.” Liam announced, and the hall was filled with a round of applause. “We have no one else to thank but our hardworking Briar Smith, who took it upon herself to ensure we have an undeniable best proposal. Thank you for your resilience, Briar.” He beamed at me, gesturing for me to come forward to address everyone.I clasped my hands together humbly as I nodded in acknowledgement at everyone who congratulated me. “Thank you for your kindness, everyone. I must say that this isn’t my doing. We wouldn’t have gotten this far if not for everyone's input.”“You don’t have to be so humble.” One of the staff said, “You earned it.”“Thank you,” I mumbled shyly. Liam clapped his hands loudly, “I guess we can afford to take a break today. Refreshments have been placed in the meeting room for everyone. Let's eat and be merry, we deserve this

Briar’s POVI let out a long breath as I got out of the car. My nerves feel disrupted. I tried to act cool but there is virtually nothing to keep me calm. It's been three days since I arrived at the same place that I swore I would never step foot in again. But I already made up my mind that this was for the better good. I cannot deprive myself and my son of a better chance to live. So this is it. “Are you alright, Briar? You look pale.” My colleague and friend, Rissa asked. I shook my head, holding up a tight smile. “I am good.”She chortled, “No, you are not. You are nervous. But I see no reason why you should be. You have walked into many places with your head up even when it was clear they were trying to intimidate you. Why is this any different?” I exhaled slowly, wishing I could tell her it wasn’t about that. The whole city gives me the chills. “Don’t mind me. I guess it is the whole city vibe that is making me a bit anxious.”“You don’t need to. By the time we explore the ent

Adrian’s POVTossing the file to the table, I rubbed my face in frustration. I couldn’t have been imagining things could I? That lady looks so much like my Briar and they bear the same name. Meeting the new project lead for the design team has had me in my head all day. Fate has to be playing the silliest trick on me to make me employ someone who bears the same name as my late wife.But she is dead, her car was burnt to ashes. Even though we got no body to bury, I do not think anyone could have survived such a fatal accident. The truck driver who rammed into her died too. I cursed loudly, balling my fist in rage. I don’t think I like this lady. Her appearance brings back memories that I have struggled to bury for over five years. Briar is dead and that is the cold truth. Many people have the same first name, that is not a new thing.Putting that in mind, I tried to focus on work, but I couldn’t. Checking my wristwatch its almost time to round up work. Sucking my teeth, I grabbed my ph
