The Forgotten Wife's Comeback のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

[Isabella Hayes]The entire city was in chaos. It had been a week since Ethan dropped the information on several elites.Everyone had an opinion, celebrities were involved in affairs with some of the richest men, and the business world was a messy thing.But I was at peace. It was blissful. I wasn’t thinking about death, but I was determined not to waste my life.Seeing everyone suffer, seeing everybody complain about their problems online as the public refused to let go of their necks brought me nothing but pure joy. Revenge was indeed sweet, and it was only phase one.With things going in this direction, Ethan would be able to swoop in on them like a hawk on their business, clients, and shares. He’s an animal, biding his time.Speaking of Ethan. He was planning our wedding all on his own. I was excited to be his wife. To have the wedding of my dreams. Not controlled by anyone. The choice was all ours.Well his. I was busy with my work. Ethan had dialed back a lot of his, hired more

[Olivia Hart-Cole]This city runs on every bit of gossip it gets. It never ends.I cannot leave this damn house without more insults being spewed my way. Who knew people would come to hate a woman for doing her damn best! All I wanted was a better life.He was mine first. He was my partner, my boyfriend, my cash grab before Miss Nice and lovely came into his life.I was tired. So fucking tired of being a prisoner in this house.So I did what any sane hot-blooded woman would do.I snuck out of the house. It wasn’t that hard. I don’t think any of the guards cared about keeping their boss’s wife safe.I swear, one guy looked at me and just rolled his eyes. So fuck him. I hope that when Adrian realizes I escaped, he fires all of them.I’ve lost all the power that I used to have; all I need right now is a cold, hard drink. And maybe some fun at a private club where nobody knows me.Which is difficult to find in this city.I’d taken some money from Daniel Cole’s suitcase. Who still carries

[Isabella Hayes]Ethan nodded, pulling me into a warm embrace.“Mrs Bennett, if you wish to discuss your husband's health, there are better ways to do it. Kinder ways too. Ambushing my wife is not the way. We will talk it over and contact you tomorrow evening. Do not call us. Do not show up here again.”“Okay, I understand. I just didn’t know what else to do.”“That’s not a good excuse,” Ethan said, his tone never rising. He was still kind even though she had upset me.I want to know what it’s like to be in his mind. It must be a calm, soothing place to be because I can’t even pretend not to be emotional right now.Ethan coaxed my mother into leaving and got me back into the car.The drive up the mountain wasn’t quiet anymore. He’d requested a song be played, and was softly whispering to me that I was going to be okay.The truth is, I felt like a shit daughter. My problems were piling on each other.I hadn’t thought of the creepy, weird man who collapsed outside my building. The fact

[Adrian Cole]This had to be a cruel, fucked up joke.How in the name of god did I not notice this?I knew it was strange. Other than Olivia robbing me of my possessions and silently draining funds from the accounts I gave her access to, I was losing more money in other ways.Sure, I’d made some mistakes myself. The startup she referred to had taken two hundred million from me. That was a blow I never recovered from. Normally, when I wanted to invest in something, I’d run it by my league of advisors, or Isabella.She was intelligent and had a good eye for things that could either benefit me or run me dry.But Olivia didn’t possess the same IQ. She said yes to anything I talked about, like she wasn’t listening to me.I can accept that those were my mistakes, but to think my parents… the people who drilled into my young brain that I needed to be a success or they would cut me off, also contributed to the demise of our wealth.My fingers scratched against my scalp as I dragged them throu

[Isabella Hayes]Having coffee with my mother at the same dining table where she mocked and insulted me is… weird.Yeah, that’s the word that describes this.Weird. Very weird. Too fucking weird.I wish I were anywhere else, but I agreed to meet with her, so there’s no turning back. I came here of my own free will.Although I’m not by myself. That was the only thing keeping me from running through the door.Ethan sat idly, stirring his cup of coffee as Richard Bennett stared at him in awe. I forgot that not many have seen Ethan in person. They’ve only ever witnessed his intensity on their screens or in a crowd—assuming most people could attend his conferences.And those are rare. Despite being engaged to me, he still wasn’t the type to show up everywhere.I was the reason Ethan appeared at some events.If I left it to him, he’d avoid being in public for the next year. Hell, wedding planning is the perfect excuse. Now he won’t even show up for work events.I’m distracting myself from t
