The Billionaire's Triplet: Resurrection Of The Scorned Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

001Brianna Pounds I should’ve known better than to leave the house without checking the weather. The storm roared around me, followed by the crack of thunder.Closing my eyes immediately, I prayed fervently that it wouldn't draw a map to my glass and strike me. I hated lightning so much, and being stuck here in a storm with the sound of rain and thunder terrified me. I could have let Cally drive me, or better still, had him run the errand for me, but I couldn't. I just couldn't.This pregnancy was my life, and I’d vowed the news wasn't getting the light of day until at least I was sure I’d be due in no time. This news was everything to me, and I was sorry, but not even Nicodemo would hear it.It wasn't an easy secret to keep. Nicodemo, smart as he is, had started noticing little changes, like how I was constantly tired and gaining weight. I’d hidden more times than not to get my cravings satisfied, just like this moment that had left me stuck here in the storm. The morning sickness

003Brianna Pounds “Awwn, poor baby,” that was the first thing I heard immediately after I regained consciousness. I recognized that voice to be Nico’s witch, Kariana.My eyelids, with the force I put into them, fluttered open. I was facing the ceiling and it was now I recognized we were in an abandoned warehouse. My stomach down to my legs was numb; I couldn't feel anything. My upper body felt like lead, heavy enough for me not to be able to lift it and see.Kariana was at a far corner, watching my lower body, and I tilted my head to the side since it was the only thing I could manage to control. I saw the whack doctor's sandals. He was below me, kneeling and very focused, bloody clinical materials at his side.My mind came to its senses immediately. “My baby,” I whimpered with no strength.Kariana snied, “Is she supposed to be awake by now?”Nicodemo appeared in my view at Kariana’s comment. “My baby, please Nico, tell them to stop. I'm your wife.” My eyes pleaded with their own st

005Brianna Pounds “I'm coming over, Mom. I'll tell you all about it.” Nico hung up instantly and exhaled deeply.“You're such a good actor; you should look into the profession,” Kariana cackled.Nicodemo adjusted his shirt collar triumphantly. “I'm a made man, Kariana. Plus, I've always been a great actor. How is it that you're just noticing one of my many fortes?” he boasted.The way their lips parted to guffaw angered me. I padded toward them. “How dare you!” I swung for his cheek, only to pass right through him.My anger boiled over. How could he? As if noting my misery which I knew they couldn't, Nicodemo pulled his mistress in for a kiss, the smooching sound sending me into a silent rage.“Remember everything?”She giggled in response. He kissed her again as if proud before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a key. The beep of his car echoed through the air. “There,” he informed her, taking Kariana arm in arm and striding toward the vehicle. The luxury car I'd worked my a

007Brianna Pounds Before Nico could even open his mouth, Jack raised a finger to stop him before gluing his eyes to his ringing phone. I sighed exasperatedly. Why the heck of all moments did the phone know to ring now?Fervently, I hoped he'd ignore it, but watched as he answered the call, putting it to his ear. “It's urgent, son,” he informed Nico, the legs of his chair scraping the marble as he sat up.It all was feeling like these two were smarter than I'd ever noticed. I didn't know whether to follow Jack as he cracked the door, ambling out through it, or to watch Nico closely. Nico could sit here all day waiting for Jack, and if I followed Jack, he might just be discussing business. Nico pulled me from my thoughts as my eyes caught him pulling out his phone, his fingers hovering over the keyboard.I needed to know every bit of his moves in order to help myself. Curious, I sprang to my feet and reached him in an instant to see who he was typing to. I wasn't even surprised to see

009 Brianna Pounds “Grandma told you? Who is Grandma?” My brows creased into lines that, if I were alive, would make me worry about wrinkles. Darcy looked over my features boldly and heaved a sigh, glancing at the grass with a look that earned me the same reaction. She is so difficult. At this point, I didn't want to press, but I asked anyway because a way out had to be found, and fast. “You mentioned earlier about needing my help. Is it okay if I asked what it is you need me for?” Without glancing at me, not even for a single second, her voice echoed, “I'm hungry. I need food.” A snort slipped past my lips, making her finally look at me. “I can't go back now without eating, Mommy. I'm very hungry.” The spirit world, the universe, or whatever, was testing me now, or maybe it was just Darcy being the little girl that she is. I would have loved to help, truly, but how was I supposed to feed a child as a ghost without making it obvious what I was? I would scare her off, and
