Chapter 1
A cold, tey voice cut through the silence. “Tus, you’ve been wearing the title of my wife for way too long. It’s time you hand it back to Layla Wilson.”
bus Moore couldn’t believe her ears. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined her husband would be the one to take her life.
Her stomach twisted in pain, while Adrian Anderson held Layla Wilson in his arms, her eyes gleaming with smag satisfaction.
Tis, don’t worry I’ll take good care of Adrian from now on,” Layla said, her voice dripping with condescension
Isis stared at them in utter disbelief, her voice shaking, “You you… how could you do this?”
She knew Layla–Adrian’s coworker, his college classmate. But she’d never imagined they’d end up together like this. Never thought they’d betray her so brutally.
Adrian just snorted, his voice cold and detached. “Let me put it bluntly. Layla’s my first love. I’ve always loved her, not you
The truth hit her like a panch to the gut. Blood rushed to her mouth, dark and thick, spilling out in a violent cough
Her eyes went wide with disbelief. If you loved her, why the hell did you even marry me?”
remembered in all–how Adrian had chased her, how he’d convinced her to be with him. She’d given him everything–her heart, her trust, all
Even though his family wasn’t well–off, she never complained. She admired his drive, his ambition–but now, she realized it was never for her.
She’d always tried to take care of him, never once spending his money. She’d handled everything for their home, from renovations to furniture. It was all her effort, her blood, sweat, and tears.
Adrian had even brought his parents and sister to live with them, and she never said a word about it. She’d treated them like her own family–better than a full–time nanny.
When Adrian had said. “I want you to stay home and take care of everything while I work, she gave up her career in a heartbeat, putting everything into caring for their family.
And now! Now she was getting his cold, heartless words. “Tve always loved her, not you? It felt like a slap in the face.
Adrian looked at her with nothing but disgust, like she was dirt beneath his shoes. He didn’t even bother to answer.
Layla, on the other hand, opened her mouth, practically gloating, as though she’d won some twisted prize.
She said. “Don’t play the victim. You’re the one who ruined everything. You made sure I saw you with Adrian, which is why I left the country in a fit. If you hadn’t done that, you wouldn’t even be in the picture”
Layla was practically foaming at the mouth with anger, but Isis was completely lost
When did I ever set up something like that?” she thought. Back when she was with Adrian, he was always alone–there was never anyone else.
is opened her mouth to defend herself, but the moment she did, a violent coughing fit overtook her, blood spilling from her lips. She glanced at Adrian, but he didn’t even flinch. He was completely siding with Layla
In that moment, everything clicked. There were no reasons. They just needed a convenient excuse to justify their betrayal.
“Adrian. “Why” his’s eyes widened in shock, struggling to hold back the excruciating pain as she demanded, “Why the hell are you doing this to
“Even if you love her, even if you want to marry her… I gave up everything for you–why the hell would you want me dead?”
Adruns yes turned dark, filled with pure malice. He leaned in close to her car, liis voice cold and venomous. “You’re such an idiot. If you don’t die,
il supposed to get my hands on the Moore family fortune?”
lus felt like the world had just come crashing down on her. So, all this time, his pursuit, his proposal, it was all about her family’s money
fucking pathetic his let out a bitter laugh, blood staining hier lips. “I thought this was love real love…
Adrians rye gleamed with cold fury “This is all your fault, Iss. Don’t blame anyone else. If you had just handed over the inheritance, we wouldn’t
His voice was devoud of motion–no affection, no warmth–just puur, heartless calculation.
