All Chapters of The Forgotten Wife's Comeback: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

[Ethan Blake]I returned home with a cloud hanging over my head.Naomi was standing in the corridor, and she had this look on her face that I received as mild annoyance. It wasn’t easy to convince her to come with me. She called Isabella while she was sleeping, and I answered the call. After a brief introduction— as we’ve never actually spoken— I offered to come get her.She refused, asked what I was doing with her best friend, demanded to know if I was in on Adrian’s plan to humiliate her. I was practically grilled before she finally agreed to my bringing her to my penthouse.She was tense the whole way, like she thought I planned on kidnapping her or something worse.“We need to talk.”I nodded quietly; I expected that. She shared a look with me during our conversation with Isabella.Someone has to intervene, or Bella might be stuck thinking about when it’s right for her to leave Adrian.I led her to the balcony, the cold night’s air brushed against my skin. I folded my arms on the

[Adrian Cole]Olivia has only been here for one night, and I couldn’t be happier.I woke up to her spread across my body, her luscious long hair running down my chest. Her face is peaceful, curly lashes pressed against her cheeks, and her full lips part as she snores lightly. My heart skips several beats. I’m flashed back to our high school days when she would spend the nights at my place.We would spend nights talking, kissing, making plans for our future. Laughing and basically living our best lives. Sure, things were slightly rocky due to Ethan’s insisting that Olivia was stealing my stuff and selling them to other students. I never believed it because he didn’t have any proof other than the fact that items would disappear after every sleepover.We had such a good relationship. Nothing could come between us.I used to be so butthurt when she left, but now I’ve realized that we needed the space to grow into who we are right now. And to make some mistakes, so when we found each other

[Ethan Blake]Hurting Adrian isn’t something I see myself being able to do… physically.I think it’s safe to say I crossed that emotional line years ago when I started craving his woman.He has protection because he happens to be the closest friend I have. But others will have to learn a lesson.While Isabella showered this morning, I asked Naomi about her mother and stepfamily. I never paid attention to them. I knew they mistreated Isabella, but it was never my place to intervene.If I’m being truthful, it still isn’t, but seeing as her mother’s words contributed to her almost taking her life… it’d be wrong of me to sit back and do nothing. I practically own Valoria. While that has its downsides—I mean serious downsides— I can’t deny it comes with favoritism from the general public.My word is gold. People will believe me before fact-checking.But I’m not a dumbass. I actually use my brain, unlike some people. I won’t attach my name to any statement, but I’ll buy someone who can.If

[Isabella Hayes]“First, tell me what you hope to get out of this. I don’t personally do consultations, but Ethan is a good friend of mine. I won’t be charging you, and if this goes well, I’ll represent you going forward.” David explained, his eyes casually drifting over to my best friend. It stayed there, and a part of me wondered if he was being weird towards her.Naomi cocked an eyebrow up. The unimpressed look was common when it came to her.I cleared my throat. “Well, I want to divorce my husband, Adrian Cole. I caught him kissing his ex-girlfriend.” David’s focus returned so fast, and I watched him try to mask his surprise.“The woman he’s been showing off is his ex?”How many people knew she was his ex-girlfriend? Did they just think he was casually spending time with a pretty model?Hmm, I’m not surprised Adrian never made a statement about it.“Yes, she’s his ex. And even before the cheating, I was growing tired of the marriage. I’d like to free myself from him and the Cole f

[Isabella Hayes]The driver Ethan gave us took me back to Naomi’s place. She needed to get to her photography job.We didn’t leave empty-handed, though. Other than the form I needed to fill out, I also received David’s personal number, and he told Naomi to apply to his firm. She impressed him with her boldness. She turned him down, but I told him she’d think about it.Obviously, I said that. She’d missed a half day of work to help me, the least I can do is convince her to finally put her law degree to use. With David personally looking into her resume, she can finally stop working two jobs tirelessly.I can even ask Ethan to back her up.I haven’t pitched this to her yet. I simply brought my bag to her home, and have been lying on her awful sofa with my phone turned off for the past two hours.It’s slowly dawning on me that my marriage is over. Therefore, everything is about to change. The people I used to spend time with will start avoiding me and pretending they don’t know me.My mo
