Semua Bab Too Late To Get Me Back, Husband : Bab 51 - Bab 60

GERALDCold sweat broke out across my back as I stared at his approaching figure.“How did you find out I'm here?” I stuttered, moving backward.He stopped a few steps away from me, his hands slipping into his pockets. He tilted his head to the side, but because of the blinding headlights behind him, I couldn't make out the expression on his face.But it definitely wasn't a good one.“How I found you?” he repeated. He lifted a hand to his jaw, humming thoughtfully. “Let me think... Oh, yes. I made the reporter over there tell me everything you've been up to, and as a token of gratitude, he posted the article about the fraud.”Hearing him say that made every hair on my body stand on end. It felt as though a bucket of ice-cold water had been dumped over me as his words echoed in my ears.“Impossible.” I gritted my teeth. I had known that reporter for a long time. He wouldn't betray me because of Bryan.“I knew you'd say that.” He sighed softly before turning and snapping his fingers. Th

BRYANIf foolishness had a face, this bastard here would be the perfect example.I watched him talk about all his plans like a coward while my phone was on a call with Lara listening to everything in the background. She hadn't said a word, but I knew she was shaken by everything, and it broke my heart that I wasn't there to comfort her. But this had to be done first."Okay," I said, making sure Lara had heard everything. "How are you feeling?" I directed the question at Lara."I am fine," Gerald forced out, and I rolled my eyes at the idiot. Judas was about to move, but I signaled for him to wait."I'm asking how you're feeling, Lara," I said calmly, and a choking gasp escaped Gerald."Lara is here? Where is she? Oh God, why didn't you tell me she was? Lara, please, I didn't mean everything I said. I swear I was only saying it to get out of here!" he said, trying to stand up, but the hit from Judas had already taken effect, and he would remain in that position until the police got the

RIAHe doesn't always listen to me!He fucking does whatever he wants as if he's omniscient or some shit!“Ahh!” I flipped the table, gripping my hair tightly. “What am I going to do? What should I fucking do, God? Everything's falling apart, and I feel powerless and fucked!”I stared at the television as everything kept replaying on repeat before angrily switching it off. Half an hour later, I walked out of my house, got into the car, and drove away, making my way to Lara's company. When I got there, I saw reporters everywhere, so I parked in a spot where I wouldn't be seen while staring at her.She stood before everyone, speaking, and beside her was Bryan, who was taking pictures of her. She smiled at him before focusing on the people who were obviously throwing questions at her.She smiled at the cameras, and one thing that irked me was seeing her smile when I was the one suffering. It had always been that way ever since we were little.I fucking hate seeing her smile like she's be

LARAI stared outside the balcony, sipping the hot tea that washed away all the stress I had been going through these past few days.“Thank God everything's over now.” I exhaled in relief as I stared into the distance.After Gerald's confession, my lawyers contacted me. He had breached our agreement, and they even sued him for defamation and the damages caused to my company. Hearing about all the lawsuits filed against him, along with the amount of money he would have to spend, made a smile spread across my face because I knew he wouldn't have enough to cover even half of it, not to mention the public's opinion of him.Everything was a complete mess for him.I lifted the cup to my lips, taking another sip. The steam drifted into my eyes, clearing my slightly blurred vision. Suddenly, there was a knock on my office door, and before I could reply, it opened. I turned to see Bryan standing at the entrance with his left hand hidden behind his back.“Isn't it a beautiful sight to see my be

GERALDI covered my ears, my mind distorted and unfocused as I still couldn't believe I was inside a jail. All the plans I had been working on for months had been ruined before I could achieve anything.My company was already down the drain, and so was my reputation! Even if I planned to bounce back and create another company, apply for another job, or do anything at all...This ruined reputation of mine wouldn't let me get anything. I was basically as good as dead!“I can't go poor.” I gripped my hair in fear. God, please... I can't become poor. The thought alone made me want to smash my head against the wall.'How could I be so fucking careless?!' I gnashed my teeth.It's all because of her that I'm in this shit! It's all because of her that my mind is so discontented with the family I already have. I'm so consumed by the guilt of leaving her when she was at her worst, and now that she's in all her glory, I feel even worse for not being the reason behind her glow.“I only wanted her
