Novel & Cerita Book Review The Husband's Secret

Still, mindful of Zachary’s position, Simon managed to force a strained smile. “Naturally, the affairs between husband and wife are not for me to interfere in. However, Harriet and I share a long-standing bond. As something of an elder brother of hers, I merely thought to offer her a few words of advice.” Zachary’s expression turned unmistakably dark. “That will not be necessary. You may leave.” With that, he took my wrist and led me back into the courtyard without looking back. His thoughts reached me clearly. “Even after marriage, there are still men coming to my door and eyeing my wife. It is infuriating and irritating. Why isn’t Harriet saying anything? Surely she can tell that I am a li

"Pour the drink, Hannah. And then you can crawl back to your sofa. We have business to discuss. The kind of business that requires a wife who knows when to be invisible." As I tilted the bottle, the amber liquid splashing into the glass, I realized the terrifying irony of my life. Being his wife was the reason I was trapped, but it was also the reason I was dangerous. As his spouse, I had spent three years learning his secrets. I knew the passwords he reused for every account. I knew the names of the "consultants" he paid in cash at the marina. I knew where he kept the burner phones for his midnight talks with Grace’s father. He thought this marriage was a cage he’d locked me in. He didn't r

But thorough people had systems, and systems had exceptions, and exceptions were where you found the things people thought they had hidden. I had been listening for eight months. I had been watching. I had heard things through old walls and around half-closed doors and in the pauses between sentences when Julian thought I had already left the room. I had heard Zane say the passkey in a conversation about the server backup six weeks ago, and I had heard Julian say grandmother's birthday in the same sentence, and I had filed that away the way I had been filing everything away since I realized that my husband was a man who kept secrets the way other people kept furniture permanently without apo

I noticed something amiss. So, I played along with my husband's story and casually asked, "Really? You were smiling awfully tender just now." Zachary Cole's gaze skittered away, refusing to meet mine. "The kid's got a sweet mouth. He kept calling me 'mister.' It's late. Get some sleep." He turned and walked into the bathroom before I could get a word in edgewise. After 10 years of marriage, I could read him like an open book. That moment of hesitation told me everything I needed to know. He was hiding something.

"Who are you?" I could still hear Shofia's voice questioning Damon. "I'm her husband." I lifted my head at Damon's audacity to tell the people here that he was my husband. He shouldn't have done that, considering our marriage was a secret. From where I was sitting, I could see Shofia visibly shaking. Her eyes were fixed on Damon with a fierce look. I guessed that Shofia would be surprised to know who my husband was that I had kept a secret. Shofia seemed to grin as if she was teasing Damon. "Oh, so you're the husband? That damn man...!"

Down a couple of steps we went then were ushered into a table hidden by a beautiful screen. The room was dim, too dim for my liking. “Thank you.” I said after sliding into my seat. “Amar said you wanted the special. Can I take your drink orders?” We did that and soon the man was gone. I didn't know what to expect. My eyes snapped back to my husband. He was going through something on his phone for a second before he slipped it in his pocket. My toes curled even as I sat there, nervously biting my inner cheek. “You did not tell me how you found your ho..” He stopped, clearing his voice, “Your family.”

“ Did you know your mom killed your brother? Or, was this because of you? I just can't place a finger on this, Caspian. I thought Black was her favorite son? Or was I wrong to think so?” I stared at the picture of him on the golf course. My husband and his family had a lot of secrets. But, Caspian was the one with the most secrets out of them all. He was never loveable, perhaps it was just me who couldn't bring myself to love him. FLASHBACK Many Years Ago.

Has your husband taken you home? I shook my head in disbelief. Ulysses' flippancy was baffling, especially since his father appeared more earnest. To Abraham Narvaza Do as you please, ABRAHAM !!! Feeling restless, I decided to search for Hector. As I wandered the apartment, I found him, adorned in an apron, his back to me as he concentrated on the stove. There was something about him, an unspoken allure that never failed to captivate me. His sculpted, strong physique seemed to unsettle my thoughts, bit by bit.

After all, Alicia had never mentioned this to me. Seeing my confusion, Brian smiled and explained, "After you got married, I was heartbroken, so I went abroad. I met a fellow student there, and we got married. However, we later found out we were incompatible and got a divorce. All these years, I had never met anyone else who made my heart race." I didn't know what to say, but Brian reassured me. "Don't feel pressured, and just be yourself. This is my decision." I nodded and said nothing more as I ate dinner.

After my husband picked up his secretary and our son, they went into the hotel for a business meeting. Photos of them were trending online. I gave him a call to ask him about it, but he hung up on me impatiently. “I’m meeting a client. Obviously, we’re meeting at the hotel! Can you stop being unreasonable?” I was busy contacting IT support to retract the trending topics. Two hours later, I received a call from the emergency department of the hospital. When I reached the hospital, my son was already dead.
