The Yellow Wife Summary Novels & Stories

Her hand was on his arm, her face tilted up toward his. They weren't touching inappropriately, but the intimacy in their posture made my chest tight. I turned away before they could see me and walked back inside on with my legs shaking. "Isn't that Jason Hartley's wife?" someone whispered behind me. "Poor thing. Everyone knows he never got over Isabelle Brown." "I heard he only married her because his family pressured him to move on." "She must know she's just a replacement." I kept walking, head high, dying inside.

"How could she hit you so hard? And you just stood there and watched, Jesse. Have you forgotten Sinead is your wife?" I was already a little upset. "She has already married someone else with your approval. Have you forgotten that?" Sinead's mother choked on her words and fell silent. After a while, she spoke again. "But that wasn't real. It was only an act. You're the only one taking it seriously." I rolled my eyes. They had all treated those solemn wedding vows as an act, but I couldn't. In fact, I found it filthy. Besides, it had been five years, and they had never told me about Zachary.

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.

After we signed, she couldn't resist one last jab. "Kyle, from now on, I'm your boss's wife. First day at the company, I'm firing you. And this?" She waved a villa's property deed in my face. "That's a luxury villa in a gated community—mine. Look at you. No money, no talent, nothing. Being with you these past few years was torture." I just smiled as she flaunted the deed. She thought it was real. It wasn't—just a fake Fay had mailed her.

She couldn’t help but wonder how many unspoken histories were buried in this family — and how many were about to surface. The castle grew taller, Rachel squealing each time the tide kissed the base. To passersby, they looked like a picture-perfect family sharing a simple joy.

Francesca spread out the cooler’s contents onto the mat — fried rice, grilled chicken wings, plantain, and bottles of malt sweating in the sun.

He seemed to give her request a thought caught in-between accepting or insisting that they'll come another day, he ran a hand over his head confused on "Plea...se! I'll just show you what changes I've made over the past few months, then you can go back to your wife." She pouted, trying not to let the distaste she felt at saying the word 'wife' obvious. Matthew hesitated for some seconds before he gave in. She led the way to her small cottage; which could pass up for a house, and he followed, steadily behind her. The grasses that preceded the small building were mowed to the lowest level, with a narrow path completely cleared of grass; which led to the front door. The house was painted in yel

Mr White held her palm and tried to get control over her body. “Let me go.” She was feeling something wrong with her senses. “I think you are not well. Let me help you.” “Let me go.” Mr White held her and helped her to stand up, “Let’s go to my room. We can talk there easily.” “I said let me go.” “You are not feeling well.” Ryan Jenkins’s eyes fell on the spot. “O… O… Your wife is unhappy.” Yohan Dixon looked at the spot. His gaze turned darker.

Sandi, meanwhile, did not mutter anything. One by one, the residents who had enlivened the village hall began to withdraw. Until now all that remained were Feby, Sandi, and the person the man had called earlier. “Unplug, Wan! Hurry up!” screamed Sandi who began to take long steps to leave the place.
