All Chapters of His Chubby Wife For Ninety-Nine Days: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

DOMINIC The hospital doors closed behind us with a soft click. Neither of us spoke as we walked to the car. I opened her door, waited until she was inside, then I pulled out of the lot and onto the main road before I finally opened my mouth.“She called him a bastard,” I said. “Right there in the hallway. Loud enough for everyone on the floor to hear.”Aurielle stared straight ahead. “That was crazy.” Aurielle turned to look at me. “You heard Elena's confession. And still you stood there. You didn’t say a word to her.”“What was I supposed to say? That she was a liar? That she used a child as a weapon? She already knew what she was.” I glanced at her. “Nothing, after all the boy was standing right there. He doesn’t need to watch his mother get dragged out of a hospital by security.”I exhaled hard through my nose. “His mother. She doesn’t deserve that title.”Aurielle’s voice stayed even. “No, she doesn’t.”“She lied for days. She forged papers. She tried to convince everyone that

AURIELLE Dominic didn’t look at me. He turned straight to the three men at the table. “Get out now. I am speaking to all of you. Whatever papers you’re holding, leave them. Whatever money you were promised, forget it. If any of you sign a single line after tonight I’ll make sure every account you touch freezes before morning.” One of the men stood. “Mr. Frost, we had an agreement—” “You made a mistake. Don't make me more angry than I already am." They gathered their folders without another word and walked out. The notary followed. Caleb stayed seated until Dominic’s eyes landed on him. “You too.” Caleb rose slowly. “You’re making a scene over nothing.” “I’m making a scene over my wife sitting at your table. Get out of this building.” Caleb left to my shock. Dominic’s hand closed around my wrist. He pulled me out of the chair, down the hallway, into the elevator, and straight to the car. He never spoke, not even once. “Dominic, will you just listen?” I tried once I

AURIELLE The lawyer’s call ended and the silence that followed felt very hollow. Dominic set the phone down and turned to me. We were alone for the moment, the boy was still upstairs with the housekeeper. “Elena is the one who pressed the charges,” he said. “She went to the authorities and gave them everything she had on Cici.”“I just… I did not expect her to move that fast.” “She is trying not to lose. That is all this is. Cici used her name, used the story of her death, used every lie she could find. Elena is hitting back the only way she knows how to. She always wants to be the victim.” “In this case, she sort of deserves to get back at Cici." "But right now the arrest changes everything. Elias is probably already on the phone with lawyers. I am certain he cannot afford to let his precious Cici sit in a cell.” I folded my arms. “So what do we do?” Footsteps sounded on the stairs. Theo, our adopted son appeared in the doorway, the stuffed rabbit clutched against his ches

AURIELLE Elias’s final words still echoed in the empty ballroom long after he spoke them. Kingpin. The name I had spent most of my life trying to outrun now sat in my ears like an open wound.I could not move. I could not speak. How could I? For years I ran from every rumor, every sideways glance, every quiet conversation that stopped when I entered a room. I had built an entire life on the decision to never look too closely at the man who had fathered me. Now there was nowhere left to turn.Dominic faced his father, his voice low but steady. “I knew he was a bad man. I had heard the stories the same way everyone else in certain circles had heard them. I did not know the full depth of what he did, and I certainly did not know she was his daughter.”Elias’s expression remained cold. “Then you know enough now. If you want to ruin your own life, if you want to tie yourself to that bloodline and raise a child with this woman, then go ahead. I will not stop you. But you will not drag that

AURIELLEElena’s eyes stayed fixed on mine for another second, she looked satisfied with what she had just said. Then the corner of her mouth lifted.“I’ll advise you to check the news in the morning.”She laughed softly, and walked past me down the hallway. Her door closed with a quiet click.I remained alone in the dark corridor until my legs finally moved. I returned to the bedroom, slipped under the covers beside Dominic, and lay completely still. Sleep never came. Every time I closed my eyes I saw the shadowed figure who had run, heard Elena’s promise, and felt the pressure of whatever she had already set in motion. I wanted to wake Dominic and tell him everything. The words sat on my tongue more than once. But I knew what would happen. If he learned Elena was already moving against us he would throw her out of the house before the sun rose. The careful plan we had built, keeping her close, watching her, waiting for the truth, would collapse in a single surge of anger. So I s
