All Chapters of His Chubby Wife For Ninety-Nine Days: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

AURIELLE I stopped almost immediately when I heard those words, and turned around slowly. “Excuse you?” Sophia looked up with that same fake sweet smile. “Oh, did I say that out loud? My mistake. I must have been thinking aloud. It’s just interesting how some people rise so quickly these days. One day they’re dealing with a divorce, the next they’re Mrs. Frost with an office and special projects. People talk, you know.” I stepped closer, keeping my voice low but firm. “If you have something to say about me, say it to my face instead of whispering like a child. What exactly is your problem with me being here?” She tilted her head, still smiling. “Problem? No problem at all, Mrs. Frost. I’m just surprised, that’s all. Most of us had to earn our positions through years of hard work and actual qualifications. But you? You showed up and suddenly you have a desk and special attention. It makes people wonder if it’s talent or just good timing with the boss. No offense, of course.” I cro

AURIELLE Dominic swung into action, the hacked footage led to an urgent late night strategy session in the mansion’s secure conference room. Dominic’s top security team sat around the long table with serious expressions under the dim lights. Dominic leaned forward. “Tell me exactly what we lost and how bad the damage is right now.” Marcus, the head of security, replied, “Almost forty-eight hours of internal footage, sir. Living room conversations, your private office, and parts of the bedrooms. Whoever did this knew our system weaknesses perfectly. They covered their tracks well and left no obvious trace behind.” He spoke up right away. “This is not random, it might be a spy, because someone wants leverage over us. We should use this situation to our advantage. Set a trap, and see who bites first." Marcus nodded. “That could work, Mr. Frost. We can plant false documents about the inheritance timeline and make it look like you are worried about losing everything.” One of th

AURIELLE I was shocked that there was no news about my marriage with Dominic. I checked my phone three times before getting out of bed, half expecting him to still go along with it. Dominic found me in the kitchen an hour later, still in my robe, staring at the cup of coffee I hadn’t touched. “You didn’t sleep.” “I kept waiting for my phone to blow up, Victor said tomorrow morning. It’s tomorrow morning.” Dominic pulled out the chair across from me and sat down slowly. “Maybe he’s bluffing.” “Victor doesn’t bluff.” I wrapped both hands around the mug, needing something to hold onto. “If he hasn’t leaked it yet, it’s because he’s still deciding how to use it. That’s worse than him just doing it.” “What did he actually say to you yesterday? You never gave me the full conversation.” I’d been avoiding this. “He wants me to help him sabotage you. Feed him information. In exchange, he keeps quiet about the footage and whatever Tyler’s willing to say.” Dominic’s expression

AURIELLE "Mr. Frost, she is awake now." The Doctor announced. Dominic pushed the door open slowly, and I followed behind him, my mind still stuck on the word wife, turning it over like it might mean something different the longer I looked I kept denying it. Elena was sitting up against the pillows, an IV taped to the back of her hand, her face pale but her eyes sharp the moment they landed on him. Before either of us could say a single word, her face broke into a smile so genuine, so relieved, it made my chest hurt. “Dominic.” She reached for him, both arms out, and he crossed the room almost without meaning to, letting her pull him into a hug. “I missed you so much,” she said into his shoulder, her voice thick with emotion. “I kept thinking you wouldn’t come, that you’d be too busy, but you always come for me, don’t you?” Dominic went rigid in her arms, his eyes finding mine over her shoulder, wide and lost. I had no idea what to do with my face, so I just stood there near the

AURIELLE I stormed into Dominic’s study, my phone with the gossip article page still open was clutched so tightly in my hand that I was afraid my phone would break. “Dominic, did you do this?” I demanded, slapping the paper down on his desk. “You’ve been walking around grinning like a found puppy ever since Elena arrived. Be honest. Did you leak this to the press?” He looked up from his laptop, eyebrows raised. “Aurielle, what are you talking about? Calm down and let me see that.” “Calm down? You want me to calm down?” I shot back, my voice rising. “Look at this. They’re saying our whole marriage is a cover, that Elena’s return is the real story. Everyone is laughing at me online. Did you publish it? You’ve been so excited since she showed up, treating her like some long-lost treasure. Tell me the truth!” Dominic stood up slowly, pushing the article aside. “I am not stupid enough to announce something like this myself. Why would I sabotage everything we’ve built? Think about it. T
