Charlie Wade Wife Novels & Stories

She calmly explained and everyone began nodding their heads and some exclaimed in awe. "That makes a lot of sense." "You know, I'm actually convinced that Mr. King is married." That was Ward. "Why?" Kyle asked with creased brows. "Well, we all know the funny chemistry he used to have with Danielle Owens. They have been close for the longest time, but lately, he has done nothing but chase her away. At some point, we all thought that was the girl he was going to get married to, but after witnessing all that has transpired between them these past weeks, I'm tempted to believe the fact that he has another woman whom he loves very much and that woman is most certainly his wife."

To my surprise, the first thing he did with his phone was carefully enter my number. Then, for the name, he typed: “Wife.” He held the phone in front of his face, letting only his eyes peek over the top at me. I grasped his hand and said softly, “Perfect.” In the car park, we ran into Charlie and Crystal. Charlie’s gaze dripped with mockery as he shot a look at our linked hands. “Did the wedding ceremony melt your brain cells? Bringing an idiot out with you—if he destroys everything, will the Lights pay for it?”

Not tear her down out of petty envy. Adrian let out a quiet sigh, subtle enough not to draw attention, as he continued munching on his chicken wings. “He’s such a busy person. He would have been here if he didn’t have work,” Ruth—Ashley’s mother—chimed in. Natasha smiled warmly, reaching over to pat Layla’s hand. “I would love to meet him. She got married without even telling me… it’s only fair we do. She’s such a sweet girl.” Ashley smiled too, her expression gentle as the attention gradually shifted away from her. The whispers about her husband slowly died down, fading into the background.

The moment I spoke, the noisy ballroom folded into silence. Even the fury on Charlie's face froze. A hint of shock displaced the indignation in his eyes. Marrying a female CEO worth hundreds of millions would, after all, bring far more than five million dollars. "M-Maddie, do you mean it? Will you actually marry me?" he asked nervously, cautiously meeting my gaze like the devoted, wronged man he believed he was. Honestly, what an impressive performance. It was a shame he didn't pursue an acting career.

A week ago, the news broke that I'd filed a lawsuit against my wife of more than 20 years, Hazel Cooper, the woman who had shared my bed and my life for over half my adulthood. From that moment on, I became the neighborhood's favorite villain. Everyone called me the heartless man who had climbed his way to success and abandoned his wife and child without remorse. In their eyes, Hazel was flawless. She'd married me when I was poor and struggling. She never complained, even when life was hard. She cared for my sickly mother until her final days. She raised our son almost entirely on her own and turned him into a top student, the kind every family boasted about.

He was a little absent-minded at the moment. All she could think of since this afternoon was the doctor's words. "Congratulations! You are going to be a mom." Suddenly, Micheal pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?" Micheal was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married.

Everyone stood up, clapping, happy for us, while in my mind I knew there was no going back, I was trapped, and I forced a smile throughout the wedding as my mind blacked out. The wedding finally came to an end after a long and exhausting day, then it was time for me to go to my new home. I braced myself for what was to come as a new wife. I was no longer Kiana Elizabeth James, but now Mrs. Kiana Elizabeth Cartwright.

She said almost shouting. I was shocked by the tone of her voice. I glared at her. "What do you mean by that?" I said seriously. "Your wife is gone! She left you! Why do you think I’m here instead of her?! Because she already left you! She left with Alex! They cheated on us! They left us!” She said while she is crying so loud. I shake my head. That’s impossible! My wife will never do that! “What are you saying?” I said still in disbelief.

She tapped lightly on Charlie’s head on the photo and murmured, “Hello, Master Wade. We finally met again!” Having said that, she began to look up Charlie’s official information immediately. After a cursory glance, she was left surprised. “There’s no information related to Charlie Wade’s family background?! No parents, grandfather, grandmother, or even any relatives at all? Did he pop out from the cracks of a stone?”

Just as I was about to twist the door knob, I heard her voice. “Wait," she whispered calmly. I turned around and looked at her. "...you're Killian’s wife... aren't you?" she asked raising her head to meet my gaze. I clenched my jaw as burning in my throat returned. My chest tightened with awful reality as I nodded. “…I am…." She smiled deliberately. "And you are?" I asked curiously. She opened her mouth and then closed it. She seemed hesitant for a second before she answered. “I... a….” she whispered as age stared at the window. “I knew his mother..." she looked at me. "My name is Rachel.”
