All Chapters of The Devil’s Convenient Wife: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ZARA’S POVI watched Cael and Gerald speak from afar with my mind unsettled. I couldn’t hear what they were saying but the tension between them spread up to the place I was standing. If Charles shared the same feelings with me, I wouldn’t know because he was focused on putting our suitcases in the car.“Aren’t you worried?” I asked him eventually.“About what?” he replied casually.“Gerald,” I told him. “The person Cael is with. That man has always made me uneasy.”Charles scoffed, “Do you mean that big guy could hurt my boss?”“Can’t he?” I asked, confused.“I don’t think so,” he replied with conviction. “It is true that he is a big guy but boss isn’t small either. Moreover, that guy doesn’t have a crazy aura. Of course, he might have done some really bad things but he doesn’t have the ultimate villain aura. At best, he is just someone who takes orders.”“How would you know that?” I asked, genuinely curious.“I’ve met real villains,” he replied naturally. “People that were evil to th

ZARA’S POVThe news hit like a crack. I stood in one spot for several minutes and didn’t hear the next words Cael said. His lips were moving but I couldn’t make out the words. By the time the ringing in my head cleared, he was holding me by the shoulder.“Are you okay?” he asked carefully.“No,” I shook my head sideways. “It is impossible for me to be okay. What did you say before? Who died?”“The housekeeper at the villa,” he muttered.“Aurora Davies… that was her name. She told me right before we left,” I muttered. My emotions were all over the place and I was near tears. “Are you sure she is dead? Maybe there is a mistake somewhere.”He bent his head in resignation, “There is no mistake. I double, no, triple checked. She was found hanging in her living room. It made the news.”“She committed suicide?” I asked in disbelief.“That’s what the news says.”**I paced around the office, waiting for an update from Cael. He was speaking to a French prosecutor about the case and by the way,

ZARA’S POV“I know you’re married. I wish you weren’t though-” Gabriel told me gently. His eyes lingered on my body and I shifted uncomfortably instantly. I exhaled, trying to fully assimilate what he had said.“You only met me today,” I replied. “Don’t you think it is too early… In fact, isn’t it abnormal?”“It is love, love is unusual,” he muttered.I shook my head in denial, “I’m pretty sure it isn’t.”Gabriel sighed, “I will apologize for today. I shouldn’t have made that comment. The next time I will make it, it will be in better circumstances, I promise.”“There will be no next time,” I told him flatly. “I am married, I do have a very scary husband. I wonder what he will do once he finds out you have been hitting on me. I can bet he wouldn’t be fine with it.”He smiled, “I know Cael Ashford.”“You know my husband?” I asked, shifting from my position.“I do,” he replied. “We have met at a few events. I am not super close to him but I know how he thinks. I doubt he will move rashl

ZARA’S POV“She might have been murdered,” Cael told me gently. I had lost my appetite and so, I dropped my spoon on the table. He looked at me with worry-filled eyes, “Maybe I shouldn’t have brought this up during dinner.”“Aurora was…” I paused. “I can’t believe I have to address her like she is in the past.”“That’s because she is,” he replied. “It is sad but she is gone.”“Murdered,” I muttered. “That means someone aimed for her and they executed their plan. I need to find out who it is and when I do, they won’t escape the consequences.”“I will make sure of that,” Cael told me confidently. “But we are the living, we must survive. You should pick up your spoon and have dinner.”“I… I can’t,” I stood up instantly. “I will take my leave first.”I walked away, overwhelmed. I could picture Aurora’s face again. She did tell me to come to Paris whenever I missed her. I do miss her now but she wasn’t in Paris, she was no longer in the world.People are born, people die.**That night, I

VICTOR’S POVI would be working from home today, that was the agreement. However, the agreement wasn’t needed because I didn’t have work to do. I was the chairman of CK Group and the responsibilities were huge. However, I was smart enough to delegate most tasks. Only the most important events were handled by me.Anyway, I presumed I would be home all day. I rarely watch movies but since a particular one had been recommended by a friend, I thought I might as well spend my day doing that. I was halfway into the movie when the butler entered.“If I may interrupt you, sir,” he muttered.“You know I dislike interruptions,” I turned to him, already pissed off.“Your secretary is here, sir. I will bring her in,” he replied curtly. He opened the door and Ada stepped in, holding a briefcase. I gestured with my hand and the butler left the room while Ada came closer. I turned back towards the TV, waiting for her report half-heartedly.“I have something urgent to report,” she began.“Then you sh
