Married To My Sister’s Man: Becoming Strangers Again의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

DESMOND “Have you seen the news yet?” Victor's voice exploded through the speaker the moment I answered the call.I immediately pulled the phone away from my ear before he could burst my eardrum. After letting out a slow, irritated sigh, I brought it back to my ear.“What news are you talking about?” I asked, my attention drifting back to the diamond necklace resting on the table in front of me.I reached for it, holding it up to the light, thinking about how much I regretted ever letting Eudora wear gold instead of diamonds. She had deserved the very best from the beginning, and I had failed to give it to her.“Eudora is moving to New York.”The necklace nearly slipped from my fingers.I froze completely.“What? Where did you hear that?”“From the news,” he replied flatly. “Where else? It's everywhere. Every entertainment outlet is reporting that ED's next exhibition will be held in New York.”“That doesn't mean she's moving there,” I argued quickly.New York had given Eudora nothin

EUDORA“I can’t believe you showed your face here again.”Is that supposed to hurt me? This is laughable.“I have no reason to lie.” I deadpanned, tilting my head to the side. “I am not the one who built the foundation of her daughters' lives in lies.”Her lips thinned.That’s it! Get upset! All these years that I have cried, wondered and carried the pain you all infliected is all over. It is your turn to feel the heat of your actions.“Oh,” my lips slowly stretched into a mocking smile. “I forgot for a moment that only one of us is really your child.”My father’s angry gaze moved from me to Orion, who seemed rather ready to move across the room and grab his throat if he said one more hurtful word to me.“You told her?” he spat. “What was the use of telling an adult that the people she considered her parents are not really her parents?” “Of what use is having her think that the people who brought her nothing but pain are her real parents?” Orion retorted. “I am just one step away fro

CAMELLIA Sheet wrapped around my naked body, I watched Jeremy’s bare back, intrigued by the tattoos that weren’t there the last time I saw him.“I heard about the divorce.” Smoke from the cigarette evaporated from his mouth as he spoke. “You’re not planning to leave empty-handed, right?”The satisfied smile of a woman who had been truly and thoroughly fucked vanished from my face instantly.“What the fuck are you talking about?” Sitting upright, I let the duvet fall to my waist, exposing my bare breasts. “Where did you get that information from?”“You aren’t denying it, though.” Reaching for the bottle of whiskey resting on the bedside drawer, he took a long gulp before setting it back down. “You left what we had in the past because of him, so I think it’s only fair that you get a share of his property now that he’s leaving you.”“I asked you a question, Jeremy!” Who the hell fed him that information? I had barely begun discussing the divorce with my lawyer. There was no way word sho

CAMELLIA I sat behind the steering wheel, my hands gripping it so tightly that my knuckles turned white. My eyes never left Eudora’s car as it slowly drove through the gates of a school and disappeared inside.There was no point trying to follow her. I knew the school would not let anyone in without a visitor’s pass, and I certainly didn’t have one. All I could do was wait outside.Jeremy had been telling the truth.She really did have a child.Because if she didn’t, what business could she possibly have inside a school during pickup hours?A child.My chest tightened until it became difficult to breathe. My fingers shook as I reached for the key in the ignition. It took me two tries before I managed to start the engine.I drove away, my mind spinning with questions that refused to stop. Every possibility felt worse than the last. There was only one person I could think of who always knows how to handle impossible situations.My mother.I pulled into the driveway, my heart pounding s

ORIONA double tap on the door was all I needed to know that it was Cartier. He had a habit of knocking twice before entering, and over the years, it had become his signature.The door opened, and he stepped inside with his head slightly lowered and his hands clasped in front of him. He walked towards my desk before stopping a few feet away.“You asked for me, sir?”“I need your help finding someone.”He gave a curt nod, waiting for me to continue.“Henry Cole.”“Do you have any other information on him?”I sighed softly. Having only a name was going to make his job much harder.“All I know is that he used to be good friends with Mr. Grey.”Cartier nodded thoughtfully. “That’s something to work with. I’ll look into it and get back to you.”I had no doubt that he would find something. Cartier always did.“Thanks, Cartier. You deserve a raise.”That earned a smirk from him. “I’ll make sure to remind you of that.”I chuckled and waved him off before turning my attention back to the lapto
