All Chapters of The Grand Rebirth Of The Undermined Wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Celeste's POVHenry walked in with a well straightened suit, and my chest swelled with pride. I still couldn't believe Henry chose me to be his wife. Sometimes it made me feel like I'd won the lottery.He came up behind me as I applied make-up in front of the vanity, and he titled my head back gently, pressing a quick kiss to my forehead.“Finally the cardigan is inside the closet.” His teasing smile was wide, but I wore a sharp frown.“I told you I'm more comfortable in loose clothing. Besides, isn't that why you married me, aside from the fact that you love me?”Something twitched in his jaw for a swift second before he responded.“Right, of course.” His smile remained as he reached for his phone, stepping away.“Speaking of your sister, isn't she going to be so beautiful tonight?”There was something chirpy about his tone, his eyes lit up. For the first time in a while, Henry was excited for a family event.After everything he'd been through with my mother and my relentless need t

Celeste's POV“You want a divorce?” Henry's eyes grew wide the second I slammed divorce papers against his study desk.“Yes. I do.” The crack in his voice as he did a shocking, rather distracted sweep of my body, was rewarding.“W-why? What happened? Did I do something wrong?”I scoffed, the panic in his voice soothing to my soul.“It's because I'm no longer in love with you, Henry.”"What?" Confusion clouded his gaze.His eyes darted everywhere but the papers.“But how….how?”“How is it possible that I could fall out of love with you? I'm not allowed to? I can't?”His head shook, the careful, practiced softness he wore so well, slipping out like he knew it would work on me, like it always did.“Don't do this. Whatever it is I'll change, I'll do better, please reconsider, are you in the right headspace? What about your meds…”My meds…because I was crazy, right headspace, because I'm psychotic and I just decided to act on impulse.My eyes rolled.“I'm fine, so sign.”He cast a disgust

Kade’s POVIf there’s anything I disliked in my life, it was maltreatment and embarrassment. After watching her deal with both, I couldn't understand what was supposed to be so wrong about wanting a divorce. I led her out of there, away from those predatory eyes that perched on her, and I provided a perfect shield until we arrived at a corner.I watched her wipe her tears off her face then she straightened swiftly.“She really slapped me. Fine, I was almost considering going easy on her. I guess those thoughts are dead.”I blinked.“What?”“I’m going to go get a drink.”And then she just strutted off, leaving me in double shock. I thought…I thought she needed time to get over that.Just when I was about to follow, I was suddenly pulled into a nearby bathroom.My eyes fell on my bride to be, Nancy Miller. They continued to drift over her figure for lack of anything better to do as she cornered me.Sure Nancy's beautiful, but I knew the Celeste I met that night was more intriguing.

Celeste’s POV“Whatever you've done, fix it!” A scream rippled out of her throat, her glare almost like a physical blow.“But I haven't done anything.” Aside from meeting Kade, I haven't—Wait, he called it off this fast? On mutual grounds when my mother didn't even know about it? What was he doing?My mother's cracked voice shook me out of my reverie, and she rubbed her palms together.“Please stop this. I'm your mother…. I'm begging.”Something exploded in my chest.“You slapped me because I wanted a divorce! Never for once did you ask me why, you never cared! Now I should stop?”“What exactly did you tell him? We can't lose him!”Not one concern about the fact that Henry cheated, not one. It was all about the merger for her future embezzlement.My smile came out bitter.“Where is Nancy?” My mother looked me dead in the eyes and lied to me.“She travelled—”“You wanted to see me?”Both our heads whipped in the direction of the voice. My younger sister, a curt smile spread across her

Celeste’s POVI couldn't believe the car stayed on the road. My fingers couldn't stop trembling the whole ride home.For the first time since my new life, fear gripped me, real fear, the kind with hands, the kind that squeezed.Henry was going to hit me in public. He lunged towards me…like he had done it before, like it was normal, like he's always done it.I didn't know what to think or expect, knowing fully well I had offended everyone back at home.Mom wouldn't cross me just yet, but what about Nancy? Would she try to hurt me? I deliberately spent time with Kade, whiling it away, just so I could return this late. All I wanted to do was spend less and less time in this house. I needed a job or something, an excuse to leave home. I thought Henry wouldn't try to hurt me because he needed me. Had I managed to push him to the wall eventually?One of the housekeepers, my very good friend now, Mindy, reheated my dinner when I asked, because I was very famished and refused to eat when K
