Novel & Cerita He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband

"Think you can steal him away with a couple of ghost stories? So what if he took a drink for you? I'm the one he loves now!" I gave her a cold look. "My flight to New York is tomorrow morning. I'm never coming back for the rest of my life." I tossed the towel in the trash. "Save the crazy for him." "Leave?" Scarlett suddenly let out a shrill laugh. She lunged at me, grabbed my hair tight, her eyes pure poison. "You think you can just walk away? Nobody defies the Don's woman in Chicago!" She whispered into my ear. "That river couldn't drown you years ago. Today, I'm going to make sure you die right on the street!"

Esther's tone turned cold as she replied, "Bradley Warner is my husband, and I am his lawful wife. Tell me, don't I have the right to watch?" "I won't repeat myself—" The other kidnapper interrupted his companion with a mocking smile. He laughed and taunted, "The world of the wealthy is truly captivating, isn't it? How does it feel to helplessly watch your husband walk away with another woman?" They laughed. "Hahaha, come on, you can witness what kind of person your man truly is."

Tabitha blinked at the tidings she had just heard on her cell phone. The cell phone unknowingly slipped out of her hands and fell on the carpet covering her bedroom floor. It all feels like a dream. Just last night, she went out to Dinner with Ethan and told her boyfriend she was pregnant. Ethan's reaction was initially shocked, and the next second he was overjoyed to hear of Tabitha's pregnancy. The man kissed her deeply and intensely. Ethan said they would marry soon and tell his family about Tabitha's pregnancy. However, now she got information from her friend that the man died in an accident this morning.

Or rather, the life of my future career in media. I wanted to call his bluff. But even I could tell that every word he said, he meant. So, I stood there, and watched him call me a thief. I watched him say that fucking ridiculous proposal that would be my ticket to redemption –at least for stealing his Rolex watch eight years ago. I learned to cope with the guilt over the years. The guilt of stealing that hot stranger’s wristwatch. That hot stranger that fucked me so good that I – I shook the thought away instantly. No. I wasn't going to go there.

"It's because I don't have a choice, Julius. Yes, my name is Selena. That was the name I bore from childhood. And then when I was sixteen years old, I lost my family, and I was forced into prostitution. I lived a terrible life. I got pregnant, and I couldn't save my baby. I lost my will to live and then Drew saved me. At the time, I didn't know he was involved with the mafia. He pretended to be a nice person, and I thought my life was going to get better.

She doesn’t know I see the way she curls into herself when she lies on that giant bed like a prisoner, or how she lingers in front of the locked drawer where Lewis hides her phone. She doesn’t know it yet—but the game’s already changed. She’ll never know how much I want to grab her, pin her against the counter, and make her forget his name. But I can wait. Because she’s not his forever. She’s not just Lewis’s anymore. Not if I can help it. She’s mine. And I’ll burn the fucking world to steal her. One day soon… her eyes will finally look for me. And when they do, I’ll be waiting.

“You still think we’re actually here to collect debt from you? “That was just a story Mr. Foster made up to keep you distracted and away from him. “The company you worked so hard for? It was never bankrupt. It’s being run by him and Miss Lane.” It felt like a lightning bolt struck my mind. Everything I had risked my life for was fake. I was laughably stupid. “Someone told us to ‘play with you’ however we want,” said the man with a twisted grin. “Don’t worry. We’ll be gentle. You’ll never forget it.” As their disgusting hands moved closer, I desperately dialed a number. “Cedric, some men are trying to hurt me. Come quickly. I’m at the apartment from earlier.”

She rushed forward and slapped her enraged husband twice. "So what if I cheated on you? Caleb stayed loyal to me his entire life. I kept a child for his family. What’s wrong with that? You old cripple, don’t be so narrow-minded!" Taking advantage of the chaos, I grabbed Lily and got out. I did not care what kind of fire I had lit or how badly it would burn that family. First, I had no interest. Second, I was genuinely busy. To secure a major project, I had to fly overseas immediately.

I wouldn’t stop until he knew what real pain actually felt like. “Come on, Janet. My boys are outside. They will bring him over to my warehouse to be taken care of. You and I can meet them there.” I was barely listening to what he was saying. All my focus was on the groaning man on the carpet. A man I had one thought was the love of my life. Someone I had married, thinking that he would change my life for good. I cringed thinking of all the troubles I went through to marry him. I even went as far as stealing from my sister-in-law. All of that just to end up with a fucking deadbeat?

“Umm… I would feel betrayed and hurt, of course.” I leaned into the mic. “Well, you had to assume that, but for me, I lived it.” She blinked, taken aback by my statement. “And the one who stole my work was none other than the one I gave every fiber of myself to—my so-called husband, Hayes.”
