All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Briar’s POVI sucked my teeth at the message on my screen. Adrian is unbelievable. Why start something he can’t finish? When he said he wouldn’t be available to pick Knox up from school, I thought that could happen. And since he sent his driver with Knox regarding the sudden change, I didn’t mind. But it’s been three consecutive days and now he is saying his driver might be the one doing the drop-offs every day now. He should have just kept to himself if that was the case. So much talk of wanting to show me he has changed. I feel silly for believing him. I can’t have my son getting disappointed for no reason. I dialed his line waiting for it to get answered. But a lady answered. “Hello, I want to speak to Adrian,” I said. “Mr Sterling isn’t available right now. He will reach out later.” The lady replied. Before I could say anything else, she ended the call. I tightened my grip around my phone in annoyance. Such rude behavior. This is all Adrian’s fault. He is lucky it is the week

Briar’s POVMy palms got sweaty as I stared at the house, questioning myself if I should be doing this. I couldn’t shake off the thought of Adrian being in an accident and still trying to show up for his son while I was being judgmental of him. All day, I kept rebuking myself for doing the same thing I questioned him for. When I got home, I mentioned it to Gina, and she admitted she knew. Thinking I knew and just didn’t want to meddle in it. I insisted I knew nothing about it and she directed me to check his texts again. It turns out I didn’t read any of it all the way through. He had mentioned being unwell in the first text about sending his driver. The follow-up messages had updates on his health status. I was always blinded by the content of the first few lines, so I ignored the rest of the texts. I feel so disappointed in myself. A knock on the car window, jolted me out of my thoughts. I pressed the button to reveal Eric smiling at me. “Hey, Briar. You won’t see him if you stay

Briar’s POV“Hey,” I whispered into the phone. There was a bit of movement on the other end. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” “If you knew that, why did you call?” “I was hoping and it worked.” I laughed, curling into the bed. “Shouldn’t you be resting?” “I had enough rest during the day. I still don’t understand why I fell asleep so early. I really wanted to stay awake to talk to you.” “It is essential that you sleep, Adrian. Resting is important for you to get better.”“If I lay in your arms for three nights, I will be the healthiest man alive.”I giggled, hiding my face in the pillow. “You are out of your mind.” “Briar?”“Hmmn?” “Would you like to go on a date with me? I am resuming work on Monday. But I would like to take you out.” I pulled the duvet over me gently. This past week has been thrilling for Adrian and me. At first I told myself I just wanted to know how he was doing. But it became an everyday visit. I head to the house after work and we talk about the silliest thin

Adrian’s POVI was taken aback at first by Briar's sudden kiss. Waited a few seconds to be sure it wasn’t just a random act that she didn’t intend. When she didn’t move away, it dawned on me that she could take my inaction for disinterest. I cupped her face in my palm, parting my lips just as she decided to pull back. The kiss was warm and needy. I kept going softly, doing my best not to scare her. She soon paused abruptly, placing a hand on my chest to restrain me. I swallowed saying nothing as I held her gaze while the rain pelted the car loudly. Briar blinked rapidly like she just got out of a trance. “I…I am sorry. That shouldn’t have happened.” She mumbled, avoiding my eyes. I held her face, staring right at her. “It should and it did. Why are you avoiding it?” “I am supposed to hate you, Adrian. My resolve feels so weak when I am with you.” I felt a pang of guilt at her admission. This is all my fault. With that I didn’t have the guts to convince her further, my hands dropp

Adrian’s POV“What are you doing?” I yanked Isadora’s arms from my neck. She blinked as if confused. “What do you mean? I was just saying hello.” “And there was no proper way to do that?” I fumed. “Why are you getting worked up? It’s not like I did anything wrong. Where are you going anyway?” Isadora asked, flipping her hair. “Not your business.” I retorted, looking around the foyer to find Briar. I have a feeling she might have returned to her office. I was about to walk away when Isadora linked her arm with mine. “What is this?” I queried. She beamed brightly at me. “I just sealed the deal for that Carlton Tower. We would be working on it.” I eased out of her hold, raising a brow. “Carlton Tower? Since when do you make such appointments without my permission?” “I am the head of business development for a reason, Adrian.” Cursing inwardly, I pocketed my hands to control myself. “Didn't I mention in the general meeting that I do not want my company affiliated with the Carlton
