All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Briar’s POVI tapped my feet anxiously, trying hard not to chew on my nails and embarrass myself. I think I might be losing my mind. Everyone in the office is busy with one thing or another and I am just left to scribble in my work note while waiting for Adrian to give feedback on the design proposal I submitted. He is taking longer than expected this time. I wonder if it is because of our last encounter in the elevator. It is quite interesting that we keep having the elevator run-ins. Maybe he is truly blown away this time. I might have been overthinking the whole situation that he is trying to get at me. What if he truly believes that I am not Briar's wife? My head keeps spinning. I don’t want to be forced to leave. Not when my son has accepted this city as his home. Frustration gnawed at my insides as I grabbed my hair, not minding that I might go bald. If I had the chance, I would scream until my voice cracks. This is too much for one person to endure.“Are you good?” Rissa inqui

Adrian’s POV“Is she okay?” I asked the doctor. “Yes, she is fine. She passed out due to shock. Once she is well rested she will be alright. You can take her home soon after getting her prescriptions.” He replied. “Thank you.” I let out a long sigh when he left, staring at Isadora who was still sleeping. The past few hours have been hectic. Briar’s sudden outburst, revealing her identity with no ounce of shame, and Isadora passing out in shock, make me a bit destabilized. I expected Briar to be sorry for ghosting me for years, making me believe that she was truly gone from my life. Her mannerisms had me in stitches. She appears bolder and unbothered. Nothing like the Briar that I used to know. She was always so shy and tried hard to please me. What happened to her? “Adrian?” Isadora mumbled my name, pulling me out of my thoughts. “Oh, you are awake. How are you feeling?” I helped her sit up. She nodded gently. “Better, I think. How did I get here?” “You passed out. But the doct

Adrian’s POV“She did what?” Eric blurted. I kissed my teeth, twirling the half-filled beer can in my hand. “I could not believe the audacity myself. She didn’t seem bothered about whatever it was I thought about her. Those eyes are completely different from what I used to know.” “I will be damned! How did you keep this to yourself for two days without telling me?” “Did you expect me to start throwing such words around on the phone?” Eric bobbed his head. “That is correct. What do you plan to do with this big reveal?” I bit down on my lip staring into space. I have been dazed for the past two days unsure of what my thoughts really are. After dropping Isadora off at her place from the hospital, I called the office to get Briar’s house address. But I couldn’t bring myself to drive over to her place. I was at a crossroads. Wondering what I will say to her. She practically mocked me to my face and was certain that I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. And the look on her face w

Adrian’s POV“What did you find?” I mumbled into the phone, pausing slightly to hear the response. “Hmmn….under his name? Alright. That will be all for now., but keep looking.” I instructed before ending the call. A tired exhale escaped my nostrils as I got out of the car. My entire body feels stiff. I could not sleep last night. How could I when there are so many questions that need answers? Seeing Briar once again in a light different from how I remember her baffles me. To think she is with Liam. And that child? That is supposed to be my child. It is almost unbelievable that she cheated on me and eloped with her lover. At the same time, his background reads otherwise. I don’t know how she found herself along that road or how they met. Regardless of what the answers might be, I am not going to back out. Briar is still my wife! Gnashing my teeth, I stomped towards the elevator, shutting my eyes tightly with my head bowed as I entered and leaned against the wall. I soon felt someone

Briar’s POVI had to get some air. My brawl with Adrian this morning, Isadora’s unnecessary confrontation coupled with Liam’s cold silence, I need a moment to scream and get myself together. It feels unfair to be faced with this situation. And I am trying my best to stay sane. I dragged my feet towards the elevator to go onto the rooftop and be still for a moment. His familiar scent from five years ago which he still uses was the first thing that hit my nostrils as I stepped into the elevator. I let out a string of curses inwardly the second our eyes met. It was too late to get out of the elevator now. I held my breath and pressed the rooftop button, determined to ignore his presence. “That’s a good decision. We need to talk.” Adrian gritted. I stiffened, refusing to acknowledge him. “I am sure you heard me, Miss Smith.” “I have said all that needs to be said in your office. We have nothing more to talk about.” “Not to me! There is a lot you have to clear.” He insisted. I was abo
