All Chapters of My Con Romance Husband: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Sophie stared at the soup and bread on the table while the maids moved across the room, preparing breakfast. Her husband was still upstairs. She sat with a straight back, stiff, doing nothing with a blank expression. She hadn’t even changed out of her pajamas yet.“Ma’am?”A gasp escaped her as she turned to the left. One of the maids smiled politely. “I heard the master calling upstairs. He knocked—”Relief rushed through her as she remembered that she had locked her husband, Cassidy, inside the bathroom. She had no idea how to explain it. She needed a reason, like something to shift the blame away from herself.“Go to my room and open the door, but do not say anything to him,” she ordered.The maid nodded without question and walked toward the room. Sophie’s eyes followed her every step.She couldn’t think straight. Lowering her head, she grabbed her loose hair, frustration building inside. What should she do? She needed to call her best friend, Maddy, and ask for help. At the very

Sophie’s hand froze halfway to her mouth.“What did you say?”Charlotte looked between them, confused.“Cassidy Belgenza. He’s been dating Angelica for years.”“How do you know Cassidy?” Maddy leaned forward, asking the question before Sophie could.Sophie shifted her gaze to Charlotte. Charlotte sighed, as if she regretted opening Pandora’s box.“I’m sorry. I—”Charlotte looked at Sophie again. The pity in her eyes was unmistakable. Sophie knew how she must look right now, like a complete fool. But she needed to know.“Tell me… please tell me everything,” Sophie said, her voice desperate. She couldn’t pretend to be strong anymore. She needed answers.“We are all friends. Jewel, Cassidy, Angelica, and I. We grew up in Crawford and graduated from the same schools and college.” Charlotte paused a moment. She slightly lowered her eyes. A guilty feeling slowly piled up in her mind.“Everybody knows that Cassidy always adored her. He didn’t even hide it all.”She closed her eyes repeatedly

Cassidy tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep at all. He had come home in the morning after staying up the entire night until the sky grew bright.“Oh God, this is torture!” Cass groaned, clutching his hair with both hands. He felt bored, hot, irritated, and angry, yet he didn’t know how to release it. Eventually, he got up and went downstairs. He decided he would wait for Sophie to come home.The maids had served breakfast on the table, but Cass had lost his appetite since the night before. He didn’t even touch it. Instead, he waited for Sophie to return.Even by ten in the morning, Sophie still hadn’t come home, and Cass grew increasingly restless. He hadn’t even taken a shower and kept staring at the wall clock like a madman.“I’m going to lose my mind!”Cass cursed before trying to calm himself again. As difficult as it was, he resisted the urge to track the car Sophie was using to find out her whereabouts. He wanted to respect her decision to spend time with her best friend,

“Angelica, listen to me. Sophie promised me she wouldn’t meet your husband again. She even spends all her time at the office or with me. So why would you want to get back at her?” Cassidy half-lied because he didn’t know; it just slipped out, as if he wanted to protect Sophie no matter what.Angelica could clearly tell that her pawn was not being disloyal. He was unwilling to accept her cornering Sophie.Hearing that, Sophie clenched her jaw. She swallowed hard, bitterness crashing over her as reality sank in. The woman who was Collin’s wife—Sophie’s ex-boyfriend—had indeed been targeting her. Even though Cassidy defended her, Sophie didn’t see it as a good thing.“You believe her? She’s a liar, Cass!” Catlin snapped, her emotions rising. Cassidy still frowned in confusion when he suddenly heard a faint creak, like a door opening.Sophie’s eyes widened instantly. She hadn’t fully closed the door when she came in, so it shifted slightly, even though there was no wind or anyone else aro
