All Chapters of Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

EvelynDamien and I went to bed earlier than usual that night because neither of us had much left to say. We had spent enough time discussing the meeting, what Theo had warned me about and what I intended to do when the papers were placed in front of me. Neither of us wanted to spend the whole night going over the same possibilities, especially when we both knew that by morning I would have to make a decision. We lay facing each other in the dark, close enough that I could feel the warmth of his body, and for a while we simply talked about ordinary things because ordinary things were what I wanted to remember when I thought about that night.“When this is finally over,” I said, “I want to start again. I don’t mean going back to the way things were before Adrian. I mean something completely different. I want to work again, have a place that belongs to us.” I paused, then smiled. “Maybe somewhere near the water. I don’t know why I’ve suddenly become obsessed with that, but I keep imagi

EvelynMargaret speaking in puzzles wasn’t helping.“What the hell does that mean?”Nobody answered me until the lawyer finally spoke. “You have consented to repaying the debt the Marcellos owe the Parker household through domestic services.”I looked at the lawyer first because he had been the one explaining the document, but instead of answering, he calmly closed the folder in front of him and pushed it back toward Margaret. The movement was so deliberate that for a second I could not believe what I was seeing but it was beginning to make sense in my head.He had just told me that I had accepted an obligation to perform domestic service in the Parker household, and now he was behaving as though the signing had simply reached its natural conclusion.I turned toward Adrian. He sat in the wheelchair with the blanket still covering his legs, his face turned toward the table. Doris stood beside him, suddenly very interested in the papers she had been holding.“I'm asking you what that me

EvelynKendall moved closer to me and sat beside me. I leaned against her without thinking.“I knew something was wrong,” I said. “Theo kept trying to warn me, and I kept telling myself I would be careful. I even told myself I would read everything. Then I got there and all I wanted was to be finished with Adrian. Margaret kept talking while I was reading, and I let myself believe that the extra pages were exactly what she said they were. I initialled where the lawyer told me to initial because I thought I was dealing with closing language. I gave them the opening.”Kendall put an arm around my shoulders. “You wanted the divorce. That is all you were supposed to be thinking about. They knew that. They took advantage of it. Theo is already preparing to challenge the agreement, and you are definitely not going to be present in the Parker’s household to work for them.”I closed my eyes. “What if the judge says I signed it?”“Then Theo argues why you signed it, how you were presented with

Evelyn Bruce Marcello had been listening carefully. When Margaret's lawyer referred to the original family obligation, my father nodded once. He did not look toward me… ever. Pedro kept staring at the floor, and Darlene leaned toward our father at one point and whispered something to him. I could not understand why they were there. They had not come to speak to me. They had not asked whether I was all right. They had not even approached me before the hearing began. They were simply watching. Eventually, the judge asked whether Adrian confirmed that he had signed the documents. Adrian lifted his head. “Yes,” he said. It was the first time he had spoken since we entered the courtroom. I looked at him, waiting for something more. I wanted him to say that he had not known about the service clause. I wanted him to tell the judge that he had never intended for me to work in his house. I wanted him to

IsaacI was in the car when they went inside. I watched through the windscreen as they approached the entrance and resurfaced with Damien Cross. I saw Evelyn come out with Kendall, pursuing the men, screaming in a frenzy through uncontrollable tears. Damien followed them with a bag over his shoulder. I got out before I had even decided whether I should. Kendall saw me first. “Isaac, what are you doing here? Isaac what is this? Isaac what the fuck is this?!” She yelled. I looked toward the officers. “They have a warrant. I gave them the parking footage, the registration, the café statement and the hospital records. Damien's car was two streets from where Paul died at 11:51 that night. The woman at the café identified him, and the hospital can't account for where he was afterward. I asked the police to investigate him, and they did.” Evelyn looked at me, then at the officers standing beside Damien. Her face changed immediately
