Riel Manuel Ex Wife Novels & Stories

He accompanied us to where the room was, "They are already inside, you can come in.” "Okay, thank you." I smiled at the host before he left. Raziel knocked three times before he opened the door. Just as the man said they were already there, as we looked at each other we were both shocked. She’s the woman last night, with my ex-husband. "H-hello." She greeted us awkwardly, "Come in." She added and stood up. "You don't have to stand, Ms. Lazaro.” Raziel stopped her and pulled me a chair, "sit here, Lorain."

Family portraits stared down at her—portraits of a family she wasn’t truly part of. She paused before one oil painting. A tall, elegant woman with icy eyes and red lipstick stared back at her from a gilded frame. “Who’s she?” Aliyah asked Elena, who lingered nearby. “The Señora… Mandy Perez.” Aliyah blinked. “His wife.” Elena gave a tight nod. “The public believes she is. There’s no divorce on record.” Her heart dropped. “So, to everyone else… I don’t exist.” “You exist,” Elena said gently. “Just not in the way that matters to men like him.”

“You’ve been nothing but kind to me, Maxi. I don’t want to keep lying to you.” He didn’t interrupt, he just nodded once, urging me to go on. “Caruso…” I whispered, my throat tightening. “He’s my ex-husband.” Maxi’s eyes widened slightly, but he said nothing. “And Becca Warren, she was the woman who made me look like a murderer. She wasn’t just some ambitious reporter, she was my best friend.” Maxi inhaled sharply, his lips parting but no words came. “They betrayed me, Maxi.” I cried.

She was once married. To a man named James. A man who had everything and still chose to betray her. The divorce had been quiet, but the scars were loud. Adrian sat back slowly, his chest rising with an unfamiliar ache. He had expected the usual: a breakup, maybe differences in personality, or a career-based separation. But this… betrayal, abandonment, and a pregnancy borne of it—that hit differently. He read the summary again. “Subject Rita N. was married to James T., a businessman known for murky deals. Divorce finalized a few months ago. Primary cause: infidelity and emotional neglect. She has since relocated, expecting her first child. No recorded new romantic affiliations.”

Years ago, that look would have disarmed me completely. But not anymore. That same woman had taken over a million dollars from my family through deception and silence. I was done being a fool. “I’m listening." she said cautiously. I swallowed hard, locking my gaze onto hers. My fists clenched at my sides as I struggled to keep my anger contained. “What is the $20000 payment for?” For a split second, I saw it fear on her face. Then she masked it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.,” she said.

I let out a muffled cry of pain, gripping the sheets beneath me, and screamed until my voice cracked: "I married you! I'm your wife—I'm a Sterling!" Alexander's expression didn't waver. His voice didn't waver: "It's just a piece of paper. You'll never be a real Sterling. I could replace you in a heartbeat." With that, he shoved my hand away, wrapped his arm around Dahlia, and walked out. The moment they left, a searing pain tore through my abdomen, and blood began pouring from between my legs. That violent yank from Alexander had ripped my unhealed surgical wound wide open.

Her voice was very low, but Belinda heard every single word distinctly. Belinda received a great shock. She exclaimed inwardly. 'Does Hailey....indeed have a child?' 'Thats unbelievable!' 'hailey must have been married as well. Who is her husband?' 'if she has a husband, why did she have such ambiguous relationship with Sean, Carson and President Nikolai in the company?' 'if he knows of that, hoe could he be so close with a married woman?' 'Could it be.....that I've made a mistake?' Belinda was filled with shock and doubt. Her heart beat fast.

If her husband cheated on her, who knew what sort of insane stunt she would pull next. While Serenity was pondering over how to ask Ruth what happened, Ruth spoke in a cold voice. “Did you know? My husband’s the richest man in Sommerset.” Serenity was shocked. “I-I didn’t know that,” she said, but she thought that Ruth was drunk. She turned to Pearl to find solace in someone who was just as shocked as she was. But Pearl was only shocked for a moment before she immediately became excited. “You finally admit it?! I knew you were lying to me before! Hey, why were you thinking about kicking your car while at the parking lot?”
