Romans & histoires The Wife Who Knew Everything

"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

She stepped backward immediately afterward, clutching the device tightly against herself while anger, panic, and something dangerously close to desperation burned inside her eyes. “You don’t know anything,” she hissed. “And you are not going to involve yourself in this.” “Not involve myself?” I repeated incredulously. “You are my wife.” “And this has nothing to do with you.” “That’s a lie and you know it.” “No,” she fired back instantly, her composure fracturing further with every passing second. “What you know is business deals and boardrooms and mergers. You know contracts. You know leverage. You know power. But you do not know me, Adrian.”

The reason for the divorce was that I was disloyal and made a terrible mistake that ruined the reputation of our family. My wife, Jean Shaw, the person that I had loved and doted on for 10 years, abandoned me when I needed her the most. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and decided to call her. My hand was trembling so much that I could barely hold my phone. On the other end of the line, Jean's voice sounded a little proud and relieved. "Sign the agreement, Felix. Your career is over. Stop struggling. Save yourself the embarrassment." "You're the one who wrote... the whistleblower report?"

“Because I didn't know!” He stared at her. “How long have you known?” He asked, his voice became colder. “I found out when Mike showed us the photograph.” “And before that?” “I didn't know anything.” He shook his head. “I trusted you.” Her eyes began to water. “I brought you into my life,” he continued. “I made you my wife.” “Ivan.” “And all this time, you were looking into my parents' deaths?” “This is my first time doing this, and I'm only trying to prove that my father didn't do it.”

“I’m his wife. Mother of his two kids.” The floor seemed to tilt beneath my feet. For a moment, everything went silent except for the low hum of the TV. My chest tightened painfully. “His… wife?” I whispered, looking at Richard. “You’re married?” He wouldn’t meet my eyes. The woman his wife stepped closer, her expression twisting into disgust. “Oh, come on. Don’t pretend you didn’t know. You think a man like him doesn’t have a family? The late nights, the ‘business trips’… you really thought you were special?”

"Clarence is one lucky guy. Someone always has his back, no matter how much he screws up. His wife spent millions of dollars on a massive fireworks display just to make him smile. "And now, she's singing to him like a devoted queen. What a life." The atmosphere in the video was vibrant and full of life. Yet for three years, there was nothing but dead silence between us. Even in bed, she refused to let a single sound escape her lips during our most intimate moments. Our sex life was mechanical, and our daily routine was robotic. I was the only lunatic desperately trying to keep this marriage alive. Allison had never been one with high self-control. There was a time when a single smile from me

Inside her quiet private office, Betty Calliesta clenched a sheet of folio paper with trembling fingers. Her eyes, already marked with faint wrinkles, widened completely as she stared at the rows of data and profile photos just sent by her trusted informant. Her breath turned shallow and tight, heavy with disbelief striking her chest. “Vivienne…” Betty whispered, saying the name in a trembling voice that echoed through the silent air. “Dominic Thorne’s wife?”

Everyone in Doverton's elite social circle knows that the heiress of the Salt family, Katrina Salt, always puts her lovers first, while her husband comes second. On New Year's Eve, she spends hundreds of millions of dollars buying a private island just to make her new lover, Eason Cooper, smile. When gossip reporters catch up with her, they ask what extravagant New Year's gift she has prepared for me, her faithful husband who is waiting at home. Her lips still swollen and red, she grins callously and says, "I'll reward him by sleeping with my lover. It's not like this is the first time." The remark causes an uproar, but no one is surprised. That night, the scions secretly start a bettin

The doctor became very quiet. Almost too quiet. As though he was studying my face. A long silence passed. Then I heard him whisper. "I know her." His voice carried certainty. "I know exactly who she is." My heart skipped. The woman sounded curious. "Who is she?" The doctor exhaled slowly. "Vivian Hart." Silence. Then he continued. "Vivian Hart Blackstone." The woman gasped. "Blackstone?" "Yes." The doctor leaned back slightly. "She's the wife of David Blackstone."

"I know that." "Do you?" She looked up. "Because every time there's something I should know, I find out last. Through Robbie, through tabloids, through overheard phone calls." Her voice rose slightly. "I'm your wife. The mother of your children. When exactly do I get to be someone you actually tell things to?" "I'm telling you now." "After I found a photo on my stepsister's phone." I stayed quiet. There wasn't a good answer for that. "What else haven't you told me?" she demanded. "What else is sitting in some folder or safe or locked room that affects my life that you haven't gotten around to mentioning yet?"
