No | 2024-05-08 19:24 | active | 763 | 0 | 2738352682978452 | WOW…This makes stopping drinking EASY! | I’ve spent years showing hundreds of driven professionals how to “put down the glass” for good. <br /> <br /> Along this journey, I’ve worked with business owners, CEO’s, Attorneys, Real Estate Professionals and even A-list actors… <br /> <br /> You know, people that “have it all together.”<br /> <br /> But do you know what I quickly realized?<br /> <br /> They didn’t have it all together..<br /> <br /> Just like me.<br /> <br /> However, my biggest (and most surprising) lesson…<br /> <br /> …came from the pain and frustration I faced with my own addiction and my family. <br /> <br /> See, I remember the early mornings after another night of binging. <br /> <br /> I remember the anxiety, and shame of the man I was showing up as for my kids. <br /> <br /> And I remember knowing if I continued down this path, the only body I was given would be destroyed. <br /> <br /> I was desperate, DESPERATE to find something that would break my drinking habit…that would make this impulse go away. <br /> <br /> I could put on an act, normalize my unhealthy habits to my friends and family<br /> <br /> And still be able to have what most people would consider a hugely successful career. <br /> <br /> Heck I had made it to the pinnacle of journalism<br /> <br /> I met A-list celebrities like Jennifer Anniston, Angelina Jolie & Robert Downey Jnr to name a few.<br /> <br /> But honestly, the real pain came because I just didn’t know HOW TO STOP. <br /> <br /> I was exhausted borrowing happiness from tomorrow for short term relief. <br /> <br /> AA wasn’t for me, I sat looking around the room and felt I couldn’t relate to the people surrounding me. <br /> <br /> Rehab wasn’t an option. I had a great job! I couldn’t afford to take that much time off work. People needed me! <br /> <br /> And then there was willpower… Some good old fashioned brute force.<br /> <br /> Well, I’d tried that many times before too. Can you guess how that went?<br /> <br /> Bingo… <br /> <br /> Sometimes I managed a few weeks… or even a month. Sometimes only days..<br /> <br /> In the end that attractively packaged, glamourised bottle of goodness always found a way back to my lips again. <br /> <br /> You know what I’m talking about.. don’t you?<br /> <br /> It wasn’t until I stumbled across this strange new method I’d never heard of before..<br /> <br /> Something I’d never heard in an AA meeting.<br /> <br /> Certainly not something I’d have thought of myself. <br /> <br /> And once I put it into practice..<br /> <br /> Everything changed.<br /> <br /> I went from being 30 lbs overweight with high blood pressure, poor sleep, a strained romantic relationship and financial mediocrity…<br /> <br /> To the body and blood pressure of a fit and healthy teenager…<br /> <br /> A minimum of 7.5 hours of blissful nightly sleep…<br /> <br /> Happy family and friend network…<br /> <br /> And building two 7-figure businesses, while becoming an experienced investor and stop-drinking public figure.<br /> <br /> It’s had such a positive impact on my life I had to share this discovery with others… <br /> <br /> It’s already helped hundreds of successful business owners, CEO’s, executives and investors like you..<br /> <br /> (and only takes 20 minutes a day at most) <br /> <br /> So If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired…<br /> <br /> I created a short video on the next page that explains this new “stop drinking method” step by step…<br /> <br /> Click 'Learn more' to see how it works. | LEARN_MORE | https://home.alcoholfreelifestyle.com/vsl-applicat | 101880614727765 | Alcohol Free Lifestyle | https://facebook.com/AlcoholFreeLifestyle | 13,423 | 1 | 852,472,756,922,817 | 2024-05-08 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | Alcohol Free Lifestyle | 120208610759970618 | alcoholfreelifestyle.com | NONE | video | Quit Drinking Method | https://home.alcoholfreelifestyle.com/vsl-application | 2024-05-08 14:31 | https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/441050224_844690277705233_4733873392156037696_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=6BZSFluVKH4Q7kNvgHG4tmX&_nc_oc=Adj7tlqpUhrVTuY9zcLUSsKtF6OA34LB-_SXbJ8RdKi5J3yb4H4fxeOZ_8BEfw18GMQ&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=00_AfAbKdgbadGvKS8qrl2VXVDejf4QPRtK0IZHKmVz5wnYlw&oe=6641F4AC | person_profile | 0 | James Swanwick | Alcohol-Free Lifestyle | https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440933264_1396483154332680_8195715515804239585_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=JDDTsnCkumoQ7kNvgFj8eSS&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAQN00gORXdRs7N7vhNMCcoKcFSIbrbCPplyJNHh_PdlQ&oe=6641E119 | 0 | 3 | Alcohol Free Lifestyle | 0 | 0 | 2024-05-08 02:00 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||

Continuer la lecture | Chapitre1 Divorce<br /> Dans la chambre à la lumière tamisée, un homme et une femme installés sur un lit spacieux se livraient à des moments d'affection.<br /> « Imagine que Norah nous surprenne ici, dans son lit. Crois-tu qu'elle serait furieuse au point de pleurer ? », a dit la femme d'un ton enjoué.<br /> « Ce n'est pas son lit. Après toutes ces années, je n'ai jamais partagé le moindre contact avec elle. Elle dort toujours dans la chambre d'amis d'à côté », a répondu l'homme en ricanant.<br /> « Derek, tu es si bon avec moi... »<br /> <br /> Les doux murmures des deux se sont mêlés à leur respiration lourde.<br /> <br /> Au-dessus du lit, le mur immaculé était orné d'une photo de mariage représentant une jeune mariée dont l'expression était empreinte d'une douce joie.<br /> <br /> Après un moment, leur intimité a cessé.<br /> <br /> À ce moment-là, une jeune femme qui se trouvait à la porte s'est couvert la bouche de ses mains, des larmes coulant sur son visage en les entendant.<br /> <br /> Derek Carter a mis son short pour aller chercher un verre d'eau. Il a été surpris de trouver Norah Wilson assise silencieusement dans le salon. Il se demandait quand celle-ci était revenue et ce qu'elle avait pu entendre.<br /> <br /> « Est-ce que tu as tout entendu ? », a demandé Derek après s'être installé sur le canapé du salon avec un verre d'eau.<br /> <br /> Les suçons laissaient entrevoir la minceur de Derek, mais il ne se souciait pas de savoir si Norah les voyait ou ce qu'elle pouvait ressentir. Il s'est contenté de boire une gorgée d'eau.<br /> <br /> « Il est temps que tu signes ceci. » Derek a sorti un document d'un tiroir et l'a jeté sur la table. « Puisque tu as peut-être déjà tout entendu, il est inutile de faire traîner les choses. »<br /> <br /> Norah a timidement pris le document, son regard posé rapidement sur les mots « Accord de divorce » sur la première page. Elle l'a feuilleté jusqu'à la fin, notant la signature flamboyante de Derek Carter.<br /> <br /> « Révise-le. Si tu veux ajouter des conditions, fais-le-moi savoir. Sinon, signe-le », a ordonné Derek.<br /> <br /> Se penchant en arrière, Derek a allumé une cigarette, la fumée masquant son attitude détachée.<br /> <br /> Depuis son mariage dans la famille Carter, Norah était dévouée à Derek, espérant un avenir rempli de bonheur.<br /> <br /> Elle se souvenait du garçon qui l'avait protégée dans une tempête de neige et elle souhaitait toujours rester à ses côtés.<br /> <br /> « Tu ne peux pas faire une autre tentative pour nous ? » La tête baissée et la voix rauque à cause des larmes, la frange lisse de Norah tombait sur le bord sombre de ses lunettes, soulignant son air triste.<br /> <br /> « Norah, tu fais vraiment pitié. Tu savais ce qui s'était passé entre Madeline et moi. Alors pourquoi tu t'accroches à être ma femme ? Ne sois pas si mesquine. » L'impatience de Derek s'est manifestée lorsqu'il a tapé des cendres dans le plateau et a ajouté : « Notre mariage n'a jamais été plus qu'un arrangement pratique. »<br /> <br /> Norah a senti son cœur se briser, se rendant compte que Madeline Powell était celle que Derek aimait vraiment. Elle l'a enfin compris.<br /> <br /> Des années auparavant, lorsque Madeline était partie à l'étranger, Derek l'avait poursuivie, mais il avait été victime d'un tragique accident de voiture qui l'avait laissé inconscient. Derek devait épouser Luna Wilson, de la famille Wilson. Cependant, Luna s'était mise à fréquenter un autre homme et avait eu un enfant, incitant les Wilson à proposer Norah comme épouse de substitution. Norah avait donc pris la place de Luna pour devenir la femme de Derek.<br /> <br /> Norah s'était consacrée aux soins de Derek, coupant presque tous les liens avec sa vie antérieure pour lui. Elle avait abandonné ses passions, y compris le design, la course automobile, la chirurgie médicale et le codage, pour se concentrer uniquement sur lui.<br /> <br /> Lorsque Derek était sorti du coma il y a un an, Norah était toujours à ses côtés pour s'occuper de lui sans relâche. Pourtant, Derek semblait touché par la tendresse de Madeline lorsqu'elle est revenue de l'étranger.<br /> <br /> Malgré deux ans de mariage et de soins, Norah a dû admettre qu'elle n'avait pas réussi à gagner une place dans le cœur de Derek.<br /> <br /> Ne recevant aucune réponse de Norah, Derek n'a pas pu s'empêcher de froncer les sourcils, étudiant la jeune femme assise en face de lui.<br /> <br /> Norah était indéniablement séduisante, même avec sa frange épaisse et ses grosses lunettes encadrant son visage, mais elle négligeait souvent son apparence, paraissant débraillée. Elle avait une personnalité très réservée.<br /> <br /> Lorsque Derek était sorti du coma, Norah était à ses côtés vingt-quatre heures sur vingt-quatre, mais il ne ressentait aucun lien affectif avec elle. Au lieu de cela, il la trouvait terriblement ennuyeuse.<br /> <br /> Les soins et l'attention constants, l'aspect banal et la routine de la vie étaient aussi ennuyeux que de l'eau plate. Derek trouvait tout cela extrêmement barbant.<br /> <br /> Il reconnaissait le rôle de Norah en tant que femme au foyer de la famille Carter au cours des deux dernières années, mais il n'avait jamais pensé qu'elle était digne d'être son épouse.<br /> <br /> Tout en éteignant une autre cigarette, Derek a dit avec désinvolture : « Je suis au courant de tes difficultés avec la famille Wilson. Après le divorce, je te donnerai trois villas et trente millions. Tu pourras prendre n'importe quelle voiture au garage. Cela devrait te garantir une vie confortable à l'avenir », a proposé Derek.<br /> <br /> Celui-ci n'oublierait jamais les soins prodigués par Norah lorsqu'il était cloué au lit et sa compagnie lors de ses exercices de récupération après son réveil du coma.<br /> <br /> Bien qu'il n'éprouve aucune affection pour Norah, Derek était prêt à lui offrir un règlement généreux pour ses années de dévouement. En effet, elle lui avait consacré les deux années entières de sa vie.<br /> <br /> Pendant que Derek croisait les bras, Norah a aperçu un petit tatouage sur la clavicule de l'homme, aggravant son angoisse. Il portait les initiales MP pour Madeline Powell.<br /> <br /> La patience de Derek s'est épuisée. « Vu les circonstances, je te laisse un jour pour y réfléchir. Si les conditions ne te conviennent pas, n'hésite pas à proposer des modifications, mais ne va pas trop loin. Tu sais que je n'ai toujours pas beaucoup de patience... »<br /> <br /> « Je n'ai pas besoin d'y réfléchir. » En prenant le stylo sur la table, Norah a écrit son nom sur les papiers du divorce. « Je vais faire mes bagages et partir bientôt. Je ne vous dérangerai plus à tous les deux. »<br /> <br /> Derek a approuvé d'un signe de tête. « C'est bon à entendre. »<br /> <br /> Derek appréciait la façon dont Norah se conformait toujours, un peu comme une domestique qui ne contestait jamais ses décisions. Comme aujourd'hui, par exemple. Elle aurait pu faire du grabuge, mais elle s'est contentée de garder la paix.<br /> <br /> Pour Derek, le comportement de Norah était trop terne. Il avait peur que le fait de côtoyer quelqu'un d'aussi banal ne finisse par déteindre sur lui. Après tout, l'amour n'était pas quelque chose qui pouvait être forcé.<br /> <br /> Alors que Derek s'apprêtait à dire quelque chose après avoir parcouru l'accord, Madeline, vêtue d'une chemise blanche, est sortie élégamment.<br /> <br /> Sa chemise couvrait à peine ses cuisses, et seuls quelques boutons étaient relevés, exposant beaucoup de peau.<br /> <br /> Ses cheveux étaient humides, ce qui faisait que la chemise collait légèrement à sa peau, ajoutant un aspect séduisant à son apparence.<br /> <br /> En entendant le mouvement, Norah s'est retournée pour voir Madeline portant ce qu'elle a immédiatement reconnu comme étant la chemise de Derek, qu'elle avait choisie pour lui.<br /> <br /> Leurs regards se sont croisés et Madeline a adressé à Norah un sourire suffisant et moqueur.<br /> <br /> Mais lorsque le regard de Derek a suivi, Madeline a rapidement masqué son sourire.<br /> <br /> « Norah, nous nous rencontrons enfin. Je suis Madeline Powell. » Avec grâce, Madeline s'est approchée de Derek et a pris place à ses côtés. S'appuyant sur son épaule, elle a dit : « J'ai entendu Derek parler souvent de toi. Je suis ravie de te rencontrer. »<br /> <br /> Norah a baissé les yeux, sans rien répondre.<br /> <br /> Madeline a ensuite donné un coup de coude à Derek pour l'amuser. « J'ai entendu dire que tu offrais trois villas à Norah. Tu ne savais pas que je voulais la villa près du lac ? Pourquoi lui as-tu promis cela ? Est-ce que tu ne m'aimes plus ? »<br /> <br /> Derek, toujours aussi indulgent à l'égard des demandes de Madeline, s'est retourné vers Norah. « Je vais te donner une autre villa. »<br /> <br /> Norah a regardé Derek à travers ses lunettes. « Mais tu n'as pas dit que celle-là m'était destinée ? »<br /> <br /> La moue de Madeline s'est intensifiée. « Derek... »<br /> <br /> Le visage de Derek a laissé transparaître une pointe d'agacement. « Norah, n'as-tu pas compris ce que je viens de dire ? Considère ça comme une faveur. Si tu n'es pas d'accord avec les changements, tu pars sans rien. »<br /> <br /> Chapitre2 Lui donner une leçon<br /> « Norah, j'ai jeté mon dévolu sur cette villa au bord du lac. Choisis quelque chose d'autre pour toi. J'ai rêvé qu'elle devienne ma nouvelle maison avec Derek », a avoué Madeline, en se blottissant plus étroitement dans les bras de Derek. « C'est mon rêve depuis longtemps. »<br /> <br /> Derek a ressenti une vague de nostalgie à ses mots.<br /> <br /> Norah a laissé échapper un petit rire en entendant cela.<br /> <br /> « Ça te fait rire ? », a demandé Derek, confus. Il trouvait étrange qu'elle sourie, surtout après ce qu'il venait de dire.<br /> <br /> Madeline s'est blottie contre Derek, l'encolure ouverte de sa chemise révélant une grande partie de sa peau douce. En tournoyant distraitement une mèche de ses cheveux, elle a capté l'attention de Derek, qui a aussitôt posé la main sur l'épaule de celle-ci.<br /> <br /> La réponse de Norah a été glaciale. « Je ris en pensant à quel point j'ai été stupide. »<br /> <br /> Sans hésiter, Norah a pris le verre d'eau de Derek sur la table et l'a versé sur ce dernier et Madeline. La soudaine cascade d'eau les a laissés sous le choc.<br /> <br /> Derek, outré, a crié : « Norah, es-tu devenue folle ? »<br /> <br /> Debout, Norah a rétorqué : « M. Carter, je pensais que tu étais un homme de parole. Puisque tu as donné ta parole, tiens-la. Sinon, admets que tu es un escroc. »<br /> <br /> Madeline, habituée à l'indulgence de Derek, avait un tempérament féroce. Elle avait simplement l'habitude de feindre la vulnérabilité et la soumission pour obtenir l'affection des hommes.<br /> <br /> Furieuse, Madeline s'est levée et a bousculé Norah avec force. « Nous avons été trop indulgents avec toi. Tu crois que tu peux nous parler ainsi ? Pour qui te prends-tu ? Comment oses-tu nous manquer de respect, à Derek et à moi ? »<br /> <br /> Elle s'est ensuite réfugiée à nouveau dans les bras de Derek. « Derek, Norah a dépassé les bornes. Tu dois lui donner une leçon. »<br /> <br /> Regardant Derek pitoyablement, elle a imploré : « Regarde, mes cheveux et mes vêtements sont trempés. »<br /> <br /> Sa chemise blanche trempée lui collait à la peau, mettant en valeur sa silhouette élégante.<br /> <br /> Norah les a regardés calmement, comme si elle assistait à un numéro de cirque.<br /> <br /> « Je n'ai pas demandé ces villas et ces propriétés. La famille Carter est assez riche, mais elle hésite encore pour de si petites choses. Je comprends. Tu considères que je ne le mérite pas », a dit Norah, le ton plein d'autodérision et d'amertume. Cependant, Derek a senti un changement profond dans l'attitude de Norah.<br /> <br /> Derek a serré la mâchoire, essuyant l'eau de son visage avant de se tourner vers Madeline. « Il y a de nombreuses villas à mon nom. Choisis-en d'autres et elles t'appartiendront. »<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la colère de Madeline à l'égard de Norah couvait. À part Derek, personne n'avait osé lui manquer de respect de cette façon. L'idée que Norah, l'ex-femme indésirable de Derek, se comporte ainsi était insupportable.<br /> <br /> Madeline a lancé un regard noir à Norah, exigeant : « Alors, vas-tu me céder cette villa ou non ? »<br /> <br /> La réponse de Norah était catégorique. « Non. »<br /> <br /> Clac ! Le bruit d'une gifle a retenti lorsque Madeline a frappé Norah avec force.<br /> <br /> « Comment oses-tu ? Sans la grâce de Derek, tu es juste une personne sans importance dans la famille Wilson. Tu n'es qu'une bâtarde ! », s'est emportée Madeline.<br /> <br /> Le visage de Derek s'est assombri brièvement avant qu'il ne retrouve son calme, conseillant à Madeline : « Ne t'énerve pas pour elle. »<br /> <br /> Norah s'est touché la joue, grimaçant à cause de la brûlure de la gifle. Elle a goûté le sang et a lancé un regard à Madeline, marmonnant : « Tu manques de savoir-vivre... »<br /> <br /> Madeline s'est réfugiée dans l'étreinte de Derek en se vantant : « J'ai Derek à mes côtés. Et toi ? Tu n'es rien d'autre qu'une vagabonde abandonnée... Ah ! Norah ! »<br /> <br /> Norah a lancé un vase, qui s'est écrasé contre le sol près du canapé, se brisant en morceaux avec un bruit sec.<br /> <br /> « Si tu as envie d'aboyer ainsi, ne te gêne pas », a rétorqué Norah en s'approchant. Elle a pris Madeline par les cheveux, l'obligeant à lever les yeux vers elle avant de la gifler férocement.<br /> <br /> Le cri de Madeline emplissait la pièce. « Derek ! »<br /> <br /> Derek a réprimé sa rage, estimant que Norah avait dépassé les bornes aujourd'hui.<br /> <br /> Après avoir relâché Madeline, Norah s'est retirée, disant avec désinvolture : « Je vous laisse tous les deux. Je vous souhaite de trouver la joie, d'avoir beaucoup d'enfants et de partager un lien qui durera toute votre vie. »<br /> <br /> Norah a ensuite quitté la résidence de Derek, laissant derrière elle le bruit des sanglots de Madeline.<br /> <br /> Même lorsque la porte a claqué, Madeline, toujours furieuse, s'est plainte à Derek : « Comment ose-t-elle ? Elle nous a versé d'eau et m'a giflée. Il faut que tu lui donnes une leçon... »<br /> <br /> « Ça suffit ! », l'a interrompue Derek. Se massant les tempes, Derek a adouci sa voix. « Nous avons signé l'accord de divorce. Je ne veux plus être mêlé à elle. Madeline, j'exaucerai tes souhaits. Calme-toi, s'il te plaît. »<br /> <br /> Avec une moue, Madeline s'est blottie dans les bras de Derek, exprimant sa frustration : « Le comportement de Norah à ton égard m'énerve. Tu as toujours dit qu'elle était docile, mais elle n'était pas du tout comme ça. Elle semblait si agressive. »<br /> <br /> Derek s'est souvenu de Norah attrapant la tasse et versant l'eau, du regard froid qu'elle avait lancé à Madeline lorsqu'elle l'avait giflée. C'était une facette de Norah qu'il n'avait jamais vue auparavant. À ce moment-là, il s'est rendu compte qu'il ne la connaissait pas bien. L'impression qu'il avait eue de Norah n'était qu'une femme docile.<br /> <br /> En partant, Norah a trouvé une berline noire qui l'attendait à la porte. Le chauffeur, avec respect, a dit : « Mme Norah Carter, Mme Juliana Carter veut vous voir. »<br /> <br /> Prise au dépourvu et incertaine de ce qu'elle allait faire, Norah est entrée dans le véhicule sans réfléchir.<br /> <br /> La voiture s'est lentement arrêtée devant une grande villa. Il s'agissait du Manoir Carter, la résidence des grands-parents de Derek.<br /> <br /> « Mme Norah Carter... », a salué le majordome, guidant Norah qui était apparemment préoccupée à l'intérieur.<br /> <br /> Le majordome semblait vouloir poursuivre la conversation, mais il a finalement choisi de rester silencieux. « Mme Juliana Carter m'a dit qu'elle ne vous avait pas vue depuis un moment. Le dîner n'est pas encore servi. Vous pourriez parler avec elle avant. »<br /> <br /> Norah a baissé les yeux et n'a pas répondu. Elle avait l'impression que Juliana essayait de la convaincre de reconsidérer le divorce.<br /> <br /> Le manoir, habituellement calme et habité uniquement par les grands-parents de Derek, était animé lorsque Juliana Carter, la grand-mère de Derek, a remarqué l'arrivée de Norah et l'a chaleureusement invitée en disant : « Norah, viens ici et assieds-toi. »<br /> <br /> En s'installant, Norah a salué Juliana avec un sourire, malgré l'agitation qui régnait en elle.<br /> <br /> En prenant la main de la jeune femme, Juliana a exprimé son inquiétude : « Cela fait longtemps que tu n'es pas venue me rendre visite. Comment ça se passe avec Derek ? »<br /> <br /> Norah a deviné que Juliana la testait. Elle se doutait bien que la vieille dame n'était pas au courant du retour de Madeline dans le pays.<br /> <br /> Norah a répondu d'une voix paisible : « Derek pense que nous devrions divorcer. Eh bien, je viens de signer l'accord de divorce, pour laisser la place à Madeline. »<br /> <br /> La réponse de Juliana était vive. « Madeline ? C'est elle qui a provoqué l'accident de voiture de Derek. Comment ose-t-elle entrer à nouveau dans sa vie ? Ne t'inquiète pas. C'est toi que je préfère plutôt que cette femme. Alors, y a-t-il une chance que tu reconsidères le divorce ? »<br /> <br /> La préoccupation de Juliana a rendu Norah mélancolique. Pendant deux ans, elle a été profondément amoureuse de Derek, mais en vain.<br /> <br /> « Le divorce ? C'est peut-être mieux ainsi ! » Sharon Carter, la mère de Derek, s'est approchée avec un sourire en coin, sa présence dégageant sophistication et charme tandis qu'elle se déplaçait avec une grâce captivante.<br /> <br /> Juliana, témoin de son comportement, est devenue furieuse. « Marche convenablement ! Pourquoi marches-tu ainsi ? Tu n'as pas de bonnes manières. »<br /> <br /> Prise au dépourvu par la réprimande, Sharon a changé d'expression et s'est sentie mal à l'aise. Jetant un coup d'œil à Norah qui s'est assise à côté de Juliana, elle a dit d'un ton glacial : « Heureusement qu'ils sont divorcés. À l'origine, Derek devait se marier avec Luna Wilson, la fille aînée de la famille Wilson. Devinez quoi ? Luna a eu une liaison honteuse avec quelqu'un d'autre et s'est retrouvée enceinte.<br /> <br /> Depuis que je vis à Glophia, je n'ai jamais entendu dire que la famille Wilson avait une autre fille. Je me demande bien d'où vient cette fille illégitime... En jouant le rôle de l'épouse de Derek ces deux dernières années, cette femme n'a-t-elle pas assez profité de la richesse et de la prospérité ? »<br /> <br /> Chapitre3 Le changement de Norah<br /> Norah a pris la main de Juliana, son expression illuminée d'un sourire, semblant ignorer les commentaires acerbes de Sharon. « Tu sembles tousser un peu. Je connais une soupe qui t'aidera à calmer la toux. Je donnerai la recette au majordome plus tard. »<br /> <br /> Juliana, qui avait toujours apprécié la docilité et la gentillesse de Norah, a répondu chaleureusement : « Tu es un ange, Norah. Eh bien, je suis vieille et ma santé décline avec l'âge. Ma chérie, tu es la seule à te soucier autant de mon bien-être. »<br /> <br /> Se sentant ignorée, le visage de Sharon est devenu pâle et elle a raillé : « Oh, arrête ! Maintenant que l'accord de divorce est signé, tu n'as plus besoin de jouer la comédie. Crois-tu honnêtement que rester proche de Juliana te donnera le droit de continuer à profiter de la famille Carter ? »<br /> <br /> Avant que Norah ne puisse répondre, Juliana s'est interposée : « Norah a toujours été gentille avec nous tous depuis qu'elle a rejoint notre famille. Elle était aux côtés de Derek pendant son coma, s'occupant de lui avec diligence. Sans parler du fait qu'elle nous a toujours traités avec respect, toi et moi. Pourquoi es-tu si ingrate maintenant, après tout ce qu'elle a fait pour notre famille ces deux dernières années ? »<br /> <br /> « Juliana ! Norah n'est rien d'autre qu'une bâtarde de la famille Wilson. Pourquoi continues-tu à la défendre ? » Sharon a tapé du pied.<br /> <br /> Sharon a lancé un regard noir à Norah, en insistant : « Ai-je dit quelque chose de mal ? Comment cette salope mérite-t-elle d'être la femme de Derek ? Si ton mari et toi n'aviez pas insisté pour qu'elle épouse Derek, je n'aurais jamais accepté cette femme. De plus, elle profite de la fortune de la famille Carter depuis le mariage. C'est normal qu'elle nous traite avec respect.<br /> <br /> Pourquoi donnes-tu l'impression qu'elle a fait quelque chose de formidable ? De plus, elle n'a pas conçu d'enfant depuis qu'elle a rejoint notre famille il y a deux ans. Tu veux des arrière-petits-enfants, n'est-ce pas ? Je parie que Derek a divorcé à cause de cela. »<br /> <br /> L'expression de Juliana est devenue sévère. « Sharon, fais attention à ce que tu dis. Comment peux-tu dire de telles absurdités ? »<br /> <br /> Même si elle était déconcertée par l'expression sévère de Juliana, Sharon a rétorqué : « Je ne fais qu'énoncer des faits. Heureusement, elle n'a pas conçu d'enfant, car cela aurait pu compliquer le divorce. N'importe lequel de ses enfants serait aussi malvenu. »<br /> <br /> Juliana, visiblement troublée par les propos de Sharon mais serrant la main de Norah de manière rassurante, a conseillé : « Ignore-la, Norah. Elle est grossière et impertinente. S'il te plaît, je te conseille vivement de ne pas te précipiter dans le divorce. Tant que je serai en vie, je ne reconnaîtrai que toi comme la femme de Derek. Mon mari et moi t'apprécions beaucoup. Ne t'inquiète pas de la réaction de Derek. Concentre-toi sur la bonne entente avec Derek et sur une vie de couple épanouie. »<br /> <br /> Sharon, les yeux remplis de frustration, a demandé : « Juliana, qu'est-ce qui ne va pas chez toi ? Pourquoi toi et ton mari défendez-vous toujours Norah ? bon sang ! Norah, ne te ridiculise pas, c'est fini entre toi et Drek. »<br /> <br /> Norah a levé les yeux vers Juliana, des larmes y brillant.<br /> <br /> Juliana, gardant son calme, a affirmé : « Arrête tes bêtises, Sharon. Tu n'as pas ton mot à dire concernant le mariage de Derek. Reste en dehors de cette affaire. Et nous devons être reconnaissants à Norah. Si tu continues à dire des bêtises, sors de ma vue. Maintenant ! »<br /> <br /> À ces mots, le visage de Sharon est devenu rouge de colère et d'embarras, et elle s'est pincé les lèvres pour retenir toute autre objection.<br /> <br /> Juliana s'est à nouveau tournée vers Norah et a demandé : « Qu'en penses-tu, Norah ? »<br /> <br /> Norah a rencontré le regard de la vieille dame, des larmes roulant sur ses joues alors qu'elle luttait pour parler. « Je... Je te remercie, Juliana. Mais aujourd'hui, j'ai surpris Madeline et Derek en train de faire l'amour au lit... De plus, l'indifférence de Derek à mon égard m'a fait comprendre qu'il ne servait à rien de continuer ce mariage. »<br /> <br /> Juliana est devenue pâle comme la mort, son visage plissé d'inquiétude lorsqu'elle a dit : « C'est la faute de Derek. »<br /> <br /> Juliana a tenu fermement les mains de Norah, lui offrant du réconfort : « Tu as enduré énormément de choses au cours de ces deux dernières années. »<br /> <br /> Norah est restée silencieuse, et un bref silence s'est installé dans le salon.<br /> <br /> La seconde suivante, la voix forte de Sharon a rompu le silence. « Madeline, cette garce, est de retour ? bon sang ! Juliana, je vais sortir maintenant. Je dois faire payer cette garce. »<br /> <br /> Sharon s'est empressée de prendre son sac et de sortir du salon.<br /> <br /> Norah a essuyé ses larmes et a souri de soulagement en disant : « Je vais bien. C'est vrai. »<br /> <br /> Le cœur lourd, Juliana a répondu : « Eh bien, je n'insisterai pas plus. Norah, s'il te plaît, rends-moi visite une fois que tu en auras l'occasion. Je me contenterais que tu viennes de temps en temps me tenir compagnie. »<br /> <br /> Les larmes se sont accumulées dans les yeux de Norah pendant que Juliana parlait. Cette vieille dame était sincèrement reconnaissante à Norah, sachant l'importance de cette dernière dans le rétablissement de Derek après son coma.<br /> <br /> Norah a tendrement essuyé les larmes de Juliana, reconnaissant l'authentique gentillesse dont elle avait fait preuve. « Je le ferai. Eh bien, je vais maintenant partir. S'il te plaît, demande à la domestique de te préparer la soupe. »<br /> <br /> Norah est partie sans se retourner, ignorant la résolution dans les yeux de Juliana.<br /> <br /> Se tamponnant les yeux, Juliana a dit au majordome : « Dis à Derek et aux autres de rentrer au Manoir Carter demain à midi. »<br /> <br /> Le majordome a répondu : « Compris. »<br /> <br /> Alors que Norah sortait du Manoir Carter, le chauffeur de la famille s'est approché d'elle. « Madame, où voulez-vous aller ? »<br /> <br /> Le chauffeur est resté poli, considérant toujours Norah comme la femme de Derek.<br /> <br /> Mais avec la signature de l'accord de divorce, Norah a compris qu'elle avait rompu les liens avec la famille Carter.<br /> <br /> En jetant un coup d'œil à son téléphone, Norah a remarqué un nouveau message.<br /> <br /> Il provenait de son amie, Joanna Andrews. « Norah, es-tu libre ce soir pour me rejoindre au Club Glamour ? J'ai entendu dire que Madeline était revenue et que Derek lui organisait une fête de bienvenue ce soir. Ça va être un véritable événement. Allons-y aussi. »<br /> <br /> La réponse de Norah a été courte. « D'accord. »<br /> <br /> Le seul commentaire de Joanna était un point d'interrogation. Le consentement rapide de Norah l'a prise au dépourvu.<br /> <br /> Norah a répondu : « Je suis officiellement divorcée. Je suis donc célibataire à partir de maintenant. »<br /> <br /> La discussion est restée silencieuse pendant un moment, puis la réponse de Joanna est arrivée, pleine d'enthousiasme et de points d'exclamation. « Norah, où es-tu maintenant ? Je te rejoins tout de suite ! Donne-moi juste dix secondes, et j'y serai ! »<br /> <br /> Trouvant amusant l'enthousiasme de son amie, Norah lui a indiqué une adresse dans le Bâtiment Splendor et a demandé au chauffeur : « S'il te plaît, emmène-moi au Bâtiment Splendor. »<br /> <br /> Le Bâtiment Splendor était bien connu à Glophia pour être un centre commercial de luxe, où l'on trouvait des marques haut de gamme du monde entier.<br /> <br /> Dès son arrivée, Norah a été chaleureusement accueillie. « Noelle, je suis ravie de te voir. Tu es là pour m'apporter les ébauches ? »<br /> <br /> La somptueuse garde-robe était remplie de magnifiques robes haute couture, chacune ornée de diamants étincelants qui accrochaient la lumière.<br /> <br /> Aaron Harvey, le designer haute couture d'Asodence, s'est approché théâtralement de Norah, lui a pris le bras en disant : « Je suis triste chaque fois que je te vois comme ça. Pourquoi tu caches ton beau visage ? Tu es la fleur la plus exquise, prête à s'épanouir courageusement. »<br /> <br /> En clignant des yeux, Norah a répondu : « Je suis d'accord avec toi, Aaron. Peux-tu m'aider à me refaire une beauté ? »<br /> <br /> S'attendant à ce que Norah réplique, Aaron était sur le point de poursuivre la persuasion et s'est soudainement figé aux mots de Norah. « Attends une minute. Tu... Noelle, tu envisages vraiment une transformation ? Oh, mon Dieu ! Venir me voir a été la meilleure décision que tu aies jamais prise. »<br /> <br /> Mettant de côté le sujet des projets de design, Aaron a guidé Norah jusqu'à un fauteuil de maquillage, en disant : « Ne bouge pas. Je t'assure que tu te transformeras en une femme éblouissante lorsque je laisserai ta beauté naturelle et ton charme irrésistible opérer leur magie. »<br /> <br /> Aaron a regardé la tenue simple et les cheveux ébouriffés de Norah, puis a commencé maquiller avec impatience, son pinceau de maquillage à la main.<br /> <br /> Lorsque Joanna est arrivée, Norah était encore en train de se faire maquiller.<br /> <br /> Joanna connaissait bien Aaron. Après l'avoir salué, elle s'est installée dans le fauteuil de maquillage voisin et a piqué : « Félicitations, Norah, pour ton retour officiel à ton célibat. Ta fidèle admiratrice, Joanna, est à ta disposition à tout moment. »<br /> <br /> Chapitre4 Club Glamour<br /> Norah a esquissé un sourire. « Tu me flattes, Joanna. »<br /> <br /> Joanna a demandé avec curiosité : « Hé, tu n'as pas éprouvé de sentiments profonds pour Derek ? Qu'est-ce qui t'a amenée à t'en sortir et à cesser d'être amoureuse ? »<br /> <br /> La voix de Norah était glaciale lorsqu'elle a répondu : « J'ai surpris Madeline et Derek au lit. »<br /> <br /> Joanna n'a pas pu s'empêcher de rire. « Madeline est-elle à ce point impatiente ? Elle est à peine revenue et elle s'est déjà retrouvée au lit avec le mari d'une autre. Je me demande à quoi ressemblait sa vie à l'étranger. Eh bien, je dois dire que toi et Derek étiez tellement malades d'amour. Il était accroché à son premier amour, et tu étais dévouée à Derek qui ne te rendait pas la pareille. Est-ce que l'amour rend les gens aveugles à ce point ? »<br /> <br /> Au fur et à mesure que Joanna continuait, l'esprit de Norah venait en foule. Aujourd'hui, c'était la première fois qu'elle rencontrait Madeline.<br /> <br /> Norah avait seulement entendu parler de Madeline par l'intermédiaire de Derek et du personnel de maison. Ils ont décrit Madeline comme étant gentille, empathique, polie et facile à vivre, probablement le genre de personne qui attirait Derek.<br /> <br /> Norah avait toujours fait des efforts pour s'occuper de Derek, adoptant les traits supposés de Madeline et essayant même de lui ressembler pour attirer l'attention de Derek.<br /> <br /> Mais être une remplaçante n'a jamais été à la hauteur. De plus, Madeline ne ressemblait pas du tout à la personne que Norah avait imaginée.<br /> <br /> Norah a répondu avec peu d'enthousiasme : « Tu comprendrais si tu avais déjà ressenti toi-même la piqûre de l'amour. »<br /> <br /> Les sourcils de Joanna se sont froncés. « Norah, je ne veux pas me perdre dans l'amour. Je préfère rester vive et être là pour toi. Depuis que tu as intégré la famille Carter, nous nous voyons à peine. »<br /> <br /> Après son mariage, Norah a consacré sa vie à Derek et à la famille Carter, laissant derrière elle sa vie passée et ses amitiés.<br /> <br /> « Norah, maintenant que tu es divorcée, vas-tu à la course à la Montagne Krusa dans cinq jours ? »<br /> <br /> « Non », a refusé fermement Norah. « Je n'ai pas couru depuis deux ans. Je ne suis plus dans le coup. »<br /> <br /> Joanna ne semblait pas convaincue. « Pas dans le coup ? Trouve une meilleure excuse la prochaine fois. Dis-moi, Norah, tu as toujours l'espoir de te remettre avec ce salaud de Derek ? »<br /> <br /> Joanna était sur le point de dire du mal de Derek, mais elle s'est reprise. « Tu te souviens de la course d'il y a trois ans ? Nocturne était le seul à pouvoir te suivre. Depuis ton abandon, il a remporté la première place à la Course de Montagne Krusa ces deux dernières années. On s'attend à ce qu'il participe à nouveau cette année. Ne veux-tu pas le voir ? »<br /> <br /> La Course de Montagne Krusa était un événement clandestin exaltant, un rassemblement de l'élite jeune et riche de Glophia qui était passionnée par les courses de voitures modifiées. Cet événement était connu pour ses courses palpitantes et attirait un public amateur de sports extrêmes.<br /> <br /> Pour protéger la vie privée des participants, chaque coureur recevait un masque de la part des organisateurs et utilisait un nom de code pendant la course.<br /> <br /> Un aspect unique de la course était que le vainqueur pouvait demander aux coureurs vaincus d'enlever leur masque.<br /> <br /> Norah se souvenait de la course passionnante d'il y a trois ans, où Nocturne avait échoué de justesse à la première place, à trois secondes près.<br /> <br /> L'excitation se lisait dans ses yeux lorsqu'elle a dit : « Eh bien, je suppose qu'il n'y a pas de mal à aller le voir. »<br /> <br /> L'intérêt d'Aaron a été éveillé par la mention du « divorce ». Il a demandé : « Tu es divorcée, Noelle ? Cet homme ne se rend vraiment pas compte de ce qu'il a perdu. Je suis sûr qu'il regrettera d'avoir laissé partir quelqu'un d'aussi précieux que toi. Quoi qu'il en soit, à propos de ces projets de design... »<br /> <br /> L'attention de Joanna s'est reportée sur Aaron et elle a demandé : « Norah, tu travailles toujours sur des designs pour BelleVogue ? Ce n'est pas étonnant qu'une partie de leur ligne de luxe ressemble à tes créations. »<br /> <br /> Avec fierté, Aaron a dit : « Noelle est une designer de mode exceptionnelle, reconnue par l'Association de la Haute Couture. Elle est connue dans le monde entier pour ses créations, qui atteignent des prix exorbitants. Heureusement, étant proche de Noelle, j'ai été le seul à obtenir quelques-unes de ses créations au cours des deux dernières années. »<br /> <br /> Roulant des yeux, Joanna a dit : « Tout ça, c'est grâce au talent de Norah. Qu'est-ce que cela a à voir avec toi de toute façon ? Allez, dépêche-toi. Je dois être éblouissante ce soir, tout comme Norah. »<br /> <br /> « D'accord, d'accord. Détends-toi, et je ferai en sorte que vous soyez toutes les deux splendides. »<br /> <br /> Une heure plus tard, elles ont fait leur entrée au Club Glamour.<br /> <br /> Sur la piste de danse, des lumières vibrantes virevoltaient et illuminaient les murs et le sol. La musique était entraînante et les gens dansaient, le visage rayonnant de joie dans l'odeur d'alcool et de fumée qui flottait dans l'air.<br /> <br /> Le deuxième étage proposait une ambiance plus calme, où Norah, qui se prélassait seule sur un canapé en sirotant sa boisson, attirait les regards curieux. Norah portait une mini robe blanche argentée sans bretelles, ses cheveux châtains légèrement bouclés tombaient en cascade dans son dos. La courbe élégante de son cou brillait d'une lueur douce tandis qu'elle penchait la tête pour siroter sa boisson.<br /> <br /> « Voilà ma Norah ! », s'est exclamée Joanna, assise en face de Norah. « Tu ne t'es pas jointe à moi ces deux dernières années, toujours vêtue de ces robes démodées à la résidence des Carter. Ne te sentais-tu pas étouffée ? C'est si bon de te revoir dans ton élément. J'en suis très heureuse. »<br /> <br /> Norah sirotait silencieusement son verre, sans rien dire.<br /> <br /> Alors que le liquide brûlant glissait le long de sa gorge et dans son ventre, son corps se réchauffait peu à peu.<br /> <br /> Bien que Norah se soit mariée dans la famille Carter et qu'elle ait pris soin de Derek tous les jours, elle aimait toujours porter des tenues élégantes et un joli maquillage. Pourtant, Sharon et Kathy, la sœur de Derek, lui reprochaient souvent d'être trop voyante. Selon elles, Derek étant cloué au lit, elle n'avait pas à s'habiller de façon aussi étincelante.<br /> <br /> Finalement, pour le bien de Derek, Norah avait réduit ses soins de toilette pour se consacrer entièrement à lui, devenant son aide-soignante permanente.<br /> <br /> Mais cette époque appartenait au passé. Libérée de la famille Carter, Norah pouvait désormais s'habiller comme elle le souhaitait, sans se soucier de leurs critiques.<br /> <br /> Joanna a jeté un coup d'œil à son téléphone, puis a levé les yeux. « Norah, tu as prévu de perturber la stupide fête de bienvenue de Derek pour cette salope tout à l'heure ? Veux-tu que j'amène quelques personnes pour faire une scène ? »<br /> <br /> Les yeux de Norah étaient fixés sur le liquide doré qui tourbillonnait dans son verre alors qu'elle le déplaçait doucement. « Nous ne sommes pas venues au Club Glamour pour Derek, n'est-ce pas ? Alors, qui est la personne que tu veux que je rencontre ? »<br /> <br /> Joanna semblait surprise, puis a affiché un sourire malin. « Norah, où veux-tu en venir ? Nous sommes là pour mettre le feu aux poudres ! »<br /> <br /> « Le Club Glamour appartient à la famille Morris. Je préfère ne pas me mettre dans leur dos », a dit calmement Norah. « Je sais que la stupide fête de Derek n'est qu'une excuse. Alors, dis-moi la vérité. Qui cherche à me rencontrer par le biais de tes arrangements ? »<br /> <br /> Leur conversation a été coupée par une sonnerie de téléphone. Joanna a rapidement décroché, son visage changeant au fur et à mesure de l'appel. Faisant signe qu'elle devait s'éloigner, elle a murmuré : « Je dois répondre. Je reviens vite. »<br /> <br /> En voyant l'inquiétude sur le visage de Joanna, Norah a compris que celle-ci devait s'occuper de quelque chose d'urgent. Elle a donc acquiescé et a posé son verre, qui a légèrement tinté sur la table.<br /> <br /> Quels que soient les plans élaborés par l'intermédiaire de Joanna, Norah était sûre que cette dernière ne se retournerait pas contre elle.<br /> <br /> « Hé, ma jolie, tu es toute seule ? Ça te dérange si je me joins à toi pour boire un verre ? »<br /> <br /> Pendant les deux années de son mariage, Norah aimait son mari de toute son âme et a espéré lui rendre la pareille.<br /> Mais lorsque la première amour de Derek est revenue, ce dernier a demandé le divorce.<br /> Norah a signé l'accord de divorce sans hésiter.<br /> Bien qu'elle soit considérée comme une femme délaissée, peu de gens connaissaient ses véritables talents.<br /> Elle était pilote de course, designer de renom, hacker talentueuse et docteure réputée.<br /> Regrettant sa décision, Derek l'a suppliée de lui pardonner.<br /> À ce moment-là, un charmant PDG est soudain apparu, serrant Norah dans ses bras et disant à Derek : « Va-t'en, c'est ma femme ! »<br /> Norah a été choquée et s'est exclamée : « Qu'est-ce que tu as dit ? »<br /> <br /> Que se passe-t-il ensuite? <br /> Le nombre de chapitres affichés est limité.

APOCALYPTIC SERIES Full of Twists & Turns! | "Remain still until program terminates." The disembodied voice startled her, and her limbs twitched, the cryo liquid sloshing around her. The machine continued to cycle through the countdown sequence.<br /> <br /> "Cryo drain completes in thirty-two seconds."<br /> <br /> The recording sounded different from what she remembered. Slightly muffled and frantic. She hoped her hearing wasn't damaged. The human body wasn't designed to sleep for hundreds of years, and she expected some negative consequences. At least her heart was beating, an eager patter that got faster the longer she lay there in the receding puddle of goo.<br /> <br /> Her front half was free of the cryo liquid now. The sequence wasn't complete yet, but Joanna couldn't wait any longer. She opened her eyes.<br /> <br /> Red light bathed the stone ceiling above her, refracted through the clear lid of her tank.<br /> <br /> That was odd. The chamber had a distinct blue tint when she climbed into her tank what felt like the night before, and she remembered the ceiling being a lot higher. Something wasn't right. She blinked through the goo coating her lashes, but the red glare remained. She opened and closed her hands, trying to get the blood flowing through her body. She should be able to move more than this by now.<br /> <br /> The beeping by her ear became shrill, almost siren-like. Joanna drew a sharp breath, and a gurgling rattle made her jolt in surprise, banging her arms against the sides of the tank.<br /> <br /> "Remain still until program terminates."<br /> <br /> She'd forgotten about the tubes running into her mouth and nose, delivering a precise mixture of chemicals designed to preserve her body in stasis. Her lips were numb, but she could just see the tubes, outlined in that strange red glow. She sucked in another breath, the gurgle echoing in the mostly empty tank.<br /> <br /> "Cryo drain completes in five seconds."<br /> <br /> Almost done. Three . . . two . . . one . . .<br /> <br /> Continue reading WAKE ME AFTER THE APOCALYPSE Free in Kindle Unlimited!<br /> 📚 <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB07G35YHLT&h=AT1Qo30MRFL28AJqYS4cpQmQt7xpVLzOP9XrF-Okx6wMUKOs7fGNEnRNKKgPwMrAFnfw8ZKbqO4EuproVfgrx6p3p1yXM5PMwTuVrQmb3i7iVNoNuDf7zJ8O8yUPu0mup3xBD5ZVeoELHPufI5gvxQ0Eold-1g" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">www.amazon.com/dp/B07G35YHLT</a> | LEARN_MORE | https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G35YHLT | 688213094616278 | Jordan Rivet | https://facebook.com/JordanRivetBooks | 791 | 10 | 364,920,572,671,500 | 2024-05-08 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | Jordan Rivet | 6612518891671 | amazon.com | NONE | image | Start reading now... | https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G35YHLT | 2024-05-05 13:54 | https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440353207_390113320664895_815519123516682626_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=SFXgMR38_AcQ7kNvgGee7UQ&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=00_AfD7ThUIWgbPz8RpU6cETvQovlM9DBuF535GPi_91HSf1g&oe=66423FE6 | person_profile | 0 | 0 | 3 | Jordan Rivet | 0 | 0 | 2024-05-05 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||

No | 2024-05-09 01:55 | active | 766 | 0 | 270784319360883 | Continuar lendo👉👉👉 | Depois de dois anos de casamento, ela nunca ousou resistir. Desta vez, ela pegou o marido a traindo e ela, que sempre foi gentil e bem comportada, ela retaliou ferozmente, contra-atacando seu marido infiel e amante intrigante, deixando todos atordoados!<br /> ======<br /> <br /> Capítulo1 Divórcio<br /> "Imagine se a Norah nos flagrasse aqui. Você acha que ela ficaria tão irritada a ponto de chorar?", disse a mulher, num tom de brincadeira. <br /> <br /> "Após todos esses anos, nunca dividimos um toque sequer. Ela sempre dorme no quarto de visitas ao lado", resmungou o homem antes de prosseguir. <br /> <br /> "Derek, você tem sido tão gentil comigo..."<br /> <br /> No quarto levemente iluminado, um homem e uma mulher estavam compartilhando momentos de afeto. <br /> <br /> Ao lado deles, um quadro retratando uma noiva decorava a parede impecável, emanando uma expressão de suave contentamento. <br /> <br /> Neste instante, uma jovem à porta cobriu a boca com as mãos, lágrimas escorrendo pelo rosto ao ouvir a conversa. <br /> <br /> Após um breve instante, o íntimo momento dos dois foi abruptamente interrompido. <br /> <br /> Derek Carter vestiu uma bermuda e se levantou para buscar um copo de água. Ao se deparar com Norah Wilson sentada em silêncio na sala de estar, uma expressão de surpresa se desenhou no rosto dele. <br /> <br /> Quando Norah tinha retornado e o que ela poderia ter escutado? <br /> <br /> "Você ouviu tudo?", Derek perguntou casualmente, já sentado no sofá da sala com um copo de água. <br /> <br /> Marcas sugestivas cobria o corpo de Derek, mas ele não se importou se Norah as notasse ou como ela reagiria. Ele se limitou a tomar um gole de água. <br /> <br /> "Está na hora de você assinar isso", disse Derek, tirando uma pasta de uma gaveta e a jogando sobre a mesa. "Já que provavelmente ouviu tudo, não há sentido em prolongar o assunto."<br /> <br /> Timidamente, Norah pegou o documento, seus olhos logo encontrando as palavras "Acordo de Divórcio" na página inicial. Ela folheou até o final, notando a assinatura elaborada de Derek Carter. <br /> <br /> "Você pode revisar tudo. Se você quiser adicionar algo, me avise. Se não, apenas assine", ordenou Derek. <br /> <br /> Se recostando, Derek acendeu um cigarro, a fumaça ocultando sua indiferença. <br /> <br /> "Você não pode nos dar outra chance?", Norah indagou com a voz rouca devido às lágrimas, a sua franja elegante caindo sobre a borda escura dos óculos, destacando seu olhar melancólico. <br /> <br /> Desde que Norah entrou para a família Carter, sempre se dedicava a Derek, ansiando por um futuro repleto de felicidade. <br /> <br /> As lembranças do garoto que a resgatou de uma tempestade de neve alimentavam sua esperança, desejando uma mínima oportunidade de permanecer ao lado dele. <br /> <br /> "Norah, não seja tão patética. Você sabe o que aconteceu entre mim e a Madeline. Então, por que insistir em ser minha esposa? Não se desvalorize", retorquiu Derek, demonstrando sua impaciência ao bater as cinzas no cinzeiro. Logo, ele adicionou: "Nosso casamento nunca passou de um acordo."<br /> <br /> O coração de Norah afundou. Ela finalmente compreendeu que era Madeline Powell quem Derek realmente amava. E ela finalmente entendeu isso. <br /> <br /> Ela se inclinou, brincando com a barra das vestimentas. Foi só então que relembrou que, quando Madeline aparecia, toda a atenção de Derek se voltava para ela. <br /> <br /> Há alguns anos, quando Madeline partiu para o exterior, Derek a seguiu, mas acabou sofrendo um terrível acidente de carro que o deixou inconsciente.<br /> <br /> Naquela época, Derek deveria se casar com Luna Wilson, da família Wilson. No entanto, Luna se envolveu com outro homem e teve um filho, levando os Wilsons a oferecerem Norah como substituta. Então, Norah assumiu o lugar de Luna, se tornando esposa de Derek. <br /> <br /> Norah se dedicou aos cuidados de Derek, cortando quase todos os laços com sua vida anterior. Ela abandonou as suas paixões, incluindo design, corridas de carros, medicina e programação, apenas para se concentrar exclusivamente nele. <br /> <br /> Quando Derek finalmente acordou do coma, há um ano, ainda era Norah que estava cuidando dele incansavelmente, permanecendo ao seu lado sem falhar. Mesmo assim, Derek parecia estar cego pela ternura de Madeline quabdo ela voltou do exterior. <br /> <br /> Apesar de dois anos de casamento e cuidados, Norah teve que admitir que não tinha conquistado um lugar no coração de Derek. <br /> <br /> Sem receber qualquer resposta de Norah, Derek não pôde deixar de franzir a testa, observando-a à sua frente. <br /> <br /> Embora Norah fosse indiscutivelmente atraente, com sua franja densa e óculos grandes que moldavam o seu rosto, muitas vezes, ela negligenciava sua aparência, parecendo descuidada. Sua personalidade era excessivamente reservada. <br /> <br /> Desde que Derek acordou do coma, Norah esteve ao seu lado o tempo todo. Mas, além de não sentir nenhuma conexão emocional com ela, ele a achava incrivelmente chata. <br /> <br /> O constante cuidado e atenção, juntamente com a vida rotineira, eram tão monótonos quanto água pura. Derek achava tudo isso extremamente maçante. <br /> <br /> Ele reconhecia o papel de Norah como uma competente cuidadora da família Carter nos últimos dois anos, mas nunca sentiu que ela estava preparada para ser sua parceira. <br /> <br /> Ao apagar outro cigarro, Derek comentou casualmente: "Esta é a casa da família Carter..."<br /> <br /> Ele parou e notou Norah abaixando a cabeça. A tristeza evidente na sua postura o irritou. <br /> <br /> "Estou ciente de sua infelicidade com a família Wilson. Após o divórcio, eu darei para você três casas e trinta milhões. Você pode escolher qualquer carro na garagem. Isso deve garantir uma vida confortável para você no futuro", ofereceu Derek. <br /> <br /> Derek não esqueceria a diligência de Norah em cuidar dele enquanto estava acamado e sua companhia durante seus exercícios de recuperação depois que ele acordou do coma. <br /> <br /> Embora Derek não tivesse afeto por Norah, estava disposto a oferecer um acordo generoso por seus anos de dedicação. Ela realmente dedicou os melhores dois anos de sua vida a ele. <br /> <br /> Quando Derek cruzou os braços, Norah notou uma pequena tatuagem na clavícula dele, o que aumentou sua angústia. Eram as iniciais MP, de Madeline Powell. <br /> <br /> A paciência de Derek acabou. "Dadas as circunstâncias, eu darei a você um dia para pensar sobre isso. Se os termos não forem aceitos, fique à vontade para sugerir ajustes, mas não exagere. Eu não sou conhecido pela minha paciência..."<br /> <br /> "Não tem necessidade de eu pensar sobre isso." Norah pegou a caneta da mesa e assinou suavemente os documentos do divórcio. "Eu vou arrumar minhas coisas e partir em breve. Não quero mais atrapalhar seu caminho."<br /> <br /> Derek acenou para ela em um sinal de aprovação. "Fico feliz em ouvir isso."<br /> <br /> Derek gostava de como Norah sempre obedecia a ele, como uma serva que nunca questionava as suas decisões. Hoje, por exemplo, ela poderia ter causado tumulto, mas preferiu manter a paz. <br /> <br /> Para Derek, as atitudes de Norah eram tediosas demais. Ele tinha medo de que conviver com alguém tão comum pudesse acabar o influenciando. Afinal, o amor não era algo que se podia ser forçado. <br /> <br /> No momento em que Derek estava prestes a falar algo após ler o contrato, Madeline surgiu elegantemente vestida com uma camisa branca, que mal cobria suas coxas, com apenas alguns botões fechados, revelando muita pele. <br /> <br /> Seu cabelo, que ainda estava úmido, fazia a camisa grudar levemente na sua pele, adicionando um atrativo à sua aparência. <br /> <br /> Ao perceber o movimento, Norah se virou e imediatamente reconheceu que Madeline estava usando a camisa de Derek, que ela havia selecionado para ele. <br /> <br /> Seus olhares se cruzaram e Madeline deu a Norah um sorriso presunçoso e zombeteiro. <br /> <br /> Quando o olhar de Derek seguiu na mesma direção, Madeline rapidamente disfarçou o sorriso. <br /> <br /> "Norah, nós finalmente nos encontramos. Meu nome é Madeline Powell", ela se apresentou com graça, se aproximando de Derek e se sentando ao seu lado. Se apoiando levemente sobre o ombro dele, ela disse: "Derek mencionou você várias vezes. É um prazer te conhecer."<br /> <br /> Norah, sem saber o que dizer, baixou os olhos em resposta. <br /> <br /> Madeline, então, cutucou Derek de brincadeira. "Eu ouvi dizer que você está oferecendo três casas para Norah. Você sabe que eu quero aquela casa perto do lago, certo? Por que você prometeu dar a ela? Não me ama mais?"<br /> <br /> Derek, sempre tão condescendente com os caprichos de Madeline, se voltou para Norah. "Vou encontrar outra casa para você."<br /> <br /> Norah olhou para Derek por cima dos óculos e disse: "Mas você não disse que aquela era para mim?"<br /> <br /> O beicinho de Madeline se tornou mais evidente. "Derek..."<br /> <br /> O rosto de Derek revelou o seu aborrecimento. "Norah, você não ouviu o que acabei de dizer? São casas minhas. Se não concorda com as mudanças, não obterá nenhuma delas."<br /> <br /> <br /> Capítulo2 Ensinando a ela uma lição<br /> <br /> "Norah, o meu coração está naquela casa à beira do lago. Escolha uma diferente para você. Eu sonhei que aquela seria a minha nova casa com Derek", confessou Madeline, se aninhando mais perto do braço de Derek. "É um desejo que eu tenho há bastante tempo."<br /> <br /> Derek sentiu uma onda de lembranças ao ouvir as palavras dela. <br /> <br /> Norah soltou uma risada suave em resposta. <br /> <br /> "Por que você está rindo?", perguntou Derek, confuso. <br /> <br /> Madeline se recostou em Derek. Distraída brincando com uma mecha de seu cabelo, ela capturou a atenção de Derek, que então colocou a mão no ombro dela de forma natural. <br /> <br /> Norah respondeu com frieza: "Eu estou rindo da minha própria tolice."<br /> <br /> Sem hesitar, Norah pegou o copo de água de Derek da mesa e o derramou sobre Derek e Madeline, deixando eles em choque com a súbita cascata de água. <br /> <br /> Derek, indignado, exclamou: "Norah, você enlouqueceu?"<br /> <br /> Em pé, Norah replicou: "Senhor Carter, eu pensei que você fosse um homem de palavra. Já que você deu a sua palavra, a cumpra. Caso contrário, só admita que você é um homem de pouca honra e quebrará a sua promessa."<br /> <br /> Madeline, acostumada à tolerância de Derek, possuía um temperamento feroz. Ela apenas fingia vulnerabilidade e submissão para ganhar o afeto dos homens. <br /> <br /> Enfurecida, Madeline se levantou e empurrou Norah com força. "Derek já foi piedoso o suficiente com você. Acha que pode falar com a gente dessa maneira? Quem você pensa que é? Como se atreve a tratar Derek e eu com tanto desrespeito?"<br /> <br /> Então, ela buscou refúgio nos braços de Derek novamente. "Derek, Norah ultrapassou os limites. Você precisa ensinar uma lição para ela."<br /> <br /> Olhando com tristeza para Derek, ela implorou: "Veja, o meu cabelo e minhas roupas estão encharcados."<br /> <br /> A camisa branca molhada colava no corpo dela, realçando sua figura elegante. <br /> <br /> Norah observava-os calmamente, como se estivesse assistindo a um espetáculo de circo. <br /> <br /> "Eu não implorei por essas casas e propriedades. A família Carter é rica o bastante, mas ainda hesita em questões tão pequenas. Eu entendo. Você me considera não merecedora", disse Norah, num tom zombeteiro, mas sem amargura. <br /> <br /> Derek percebeu uma mudança significativa na atitude de Norah, reconhecendo que ela havia mudado consideravelmente. Ele apertou a mandíbula, enxugando a água do rosto antes de se virar para Madeline. "Há muitas casas em meu nome. Escolha qualquer outra que você quiser e ela será sua."<br /> <br /> Mesmo assim, a raiva de Madeline por Norah ainda fervia. Ninguém, além de Derek, ousava desrespeitá-la assim. A ideia de Norah, a ex-esposa indesejada de Derek, agir daquela maneira era insuportável para Madeline. <br /> <br /> Encarando Norah com hostilidade, Madeline exigiu: "Então, você vai abrir mão daquela casa ou não?"<br /> <br /> A resposta de Norah foi firme: "Não vou."<br /> <br /> Slap! <br /> <br /> O som de um tapa ecoou quando Madeline estapeou Norah com força. <br /> <br /> "Como se atreve?! Fora do círculo de Derek, você não é ninguém na família Wilson. Você é apenas uma bastarda!" Madeline retrucou. <br /> <br /> O rosto de Derek ficou nublado por um momento antes que ele recuperasse a calma, aconselhando Madeline: "Não fique chateada por causa dela."<br /> <br /> Norah tocou na sua bochecha, que tremia com a queimadura do tapa. Ela sentiu o gosto de sangue e olhou para Madeline, murmurando: "Você não tem educação..."<br /> <br /> Madeline encontrou abrigo nos braços de Derek, se gabando: "Eu tenho Derek ao meu lado. E você? Você não passa de uma... Ah! Norah!"<br /> <br /> Norah arremessou um vaso nela. O objeto atingiu o piso próximo ao sofá, se estilhaçando com um ruído agudo. <br /> <br /> "Se você quer latir assim, fique à vontade", rebateu Norah, se aproximando, e segurou Madeline pelos cabelos, obrigando-a a encará-la antes de dar um tapa vigoroso nela. <br /> <br /> O grito de Madeline ecoou pela sala. "Derek!"<br /> <br /> Derek lutou contra a sua fúria, sentindo que Norah tinha ultrapassado os limites naquele momento. <br /> <br /> Após soltar Madeline, Norah recuou, dizendo despreocupadamente: "Vou deixar vocês dois a sós. Que vocês encontrem alegria, tenham muitos filhos e compartilhem um vínculo para toda a vida."<br /> <br /> Então, Norah se retirou da casa de Derek, deixando para trás o som dos soluços de Madeline. <br /> <br /> Mesmo com a porta batendo, Madeline permaneceu furiosa e reclamou para Derek: "Dá para acreditar nela? Ela nos encharcou com água e ainda me deu um tapa. Você precisa ensinr uma lição a ela..."<br /> <br /> "Já chega!", Derek interrompeu. Massageando as têmporas, ele suavizou a voz. "Estamos divorciados agora. Não quero mais me envolver com ela. Madeline, eu realizarei os seus desejos. Apenas se acalme, por favor."<br /> <br /> Com um bico, Madeline se aconchegou nos braços de Derek, expressando sua frustração: "O comportamento de Norah com você me irrita. Você sempre mencionou o quão complacente ela é, mas ela foi tudo menos isso. Ela parecia ser tão agressiva."<br /> <br /> Derek se lembrou de Norah pegando o copo e jogando a água, e do olhar gélido que ela dirigiu a Madeline quando deu um tapa forte nela. Era um lado de Norah que ele nunca presenciou antes. <br /> <br /> Naquele instante, ele percebeu que ele não conhecia Norah. Sua impressão anterior de Norah se baseava unicamente na submissão dela. <br /> <br /> Ao sair, Norah encontrou um sedã preto a aguardando no portão. O motorista, respeitosamente, informou: "Senhora Norah Carter, a senhora Juliana Carter solicitou a sua presença."<br /> <br /> Pega de surpresa e sem saber quais seriam os seus próximos passos, Norah entrou no veículo sem hesitação. <br /> <br /> O carro parou gradativamente em frente a uma grande mansão. Era a Mansão Carter, residência dos avós de Derek. <br /> <br /> "Senhora Norah Carter...", cumprimentou o mordomo, conduzindo a aparentemente apreensiva Norah para dentro. <br /> <br /> O mordomo parecia querer conversar mais, mas optou por permanecer em silêncio. "A senhora Juliana Carter mencionou que faz tempo que não te vê. O jantar ainda não foi servido. Talvez você possa passar um tempo com ela antes disso."<br /> <br /> Norah baixou os olhos e não lhe respondeu. Ela tinha a sensação de que Juliana estava tentando persuadi-la a reconsiderar o divórcio. <br /> <br /> A mansão, geralmente quieta e ocupada apenas pelos avós de Derek, ganhou vida quando Juliana Carter, avó de Derek, notou a chegada de Norah e a convidou cordialmente, dizendo: "Norah, venha aqui e se sente."<br /> <br /> Se sentando, Norah cumprimentou Juliana com um sorriso, apesar da agitação interna. <br /> <br /> Juliana segurou a mão de Norah, demonstrando preocupação: "Faz muito tempo que você não nos visita. Como andam as coisas com Derek?"<br /> <br /> Norah pensou que Juliana estava a avaliando. Ela duvidava que Juliana não soubesse da volta de Madeline ao país. <br /> <br /> Com calma, Norah compartilhou: "Derek acredita que nós deveríamos nos separar. Bem, eu acabei de assinar o nosso acordo de divórcio, abrindo caminho para Madeline."<br /> <br /> A resposta de Juliana foi direta. "Madeline? Foram as ações dela que causaram o incidente com o carro de Derek. Como ela ousa voltar para a vida dele? Não se preocupe com isso, prefiro você do que essa mulher. Então, existe alguma chance de você reconsiderar o divórcio?"<br /> <br /> A preocupação de Juliana deixou Norah triste. Por dois anos, ela teve amor por Derek, mas não conseguiu despertar o mesmo sentimento nele. <br /> <br /> "Divorciados? Ótimo!" A mãe de Derek, Sharon Carter, se aproximou com um sorriso astuto, sua presença emanando elegância e charme enquanto ela se movia com uma graciosidade cativante. <br /> <br /> Juliana, ao observar o seu comportamento, ficou furiosa. "Ande direito! Por que você está andando assim? Onde está sua educação?"<br /> <br /> Surpreendida pela repreensão, a expressão de Sharon mudou para uma de desconforto. Ela olhou para Norah, sentada ao lado de Juliana, e disse com um tom gélido: "Ainda bem que vocês estão separados. Inicialmente, Derek iria se casar com Luna Wilson, a filha mais velha da família Wilson. E adivinha? Luna se envolveu vergonhosamente com uma outra pessoa e acabou ficando grávida."<br /> <br /> Ela continuou: "Durante os meus longos anos em Glophia, eu nunca ouvi falar de a família Wilson ter outra filha. Fico me perguntando de onde veio essa mulher ilegítima... Assumindo o papel de esposa de Derek nos últimos dois anos, esta mulher não aproveitou riqueza e prosperidade suficientes?"<br /> <br /> <br /> Capítulo3 A transformação de Norah<br /> <br /> Norah segurou a mão de Juliana, seu rosto radiante com um sorriso, aparentemente alheio aos comentários ríspidos de Sharon. "Parece que você está tossindo um pouco. Eu conheço uma sopa que vai te ajudar. Darei a receita ao mordomo depois."<br /> <br /> Juliana, sempre admirando a gentileza e a consideração natural de Norah, respondeu calorosamente: "Você é um anjo, Norah. Bem, eu não sou mais uma jovem e minha saúde tem se deteriorado com o tempo. Você, minha querida, é a única que se preocupa tanto comigo."<br /> <br /> Se sentindo ignorada, Sharon empalideceu enquanto debochava: "Ah, pare com isso. Pare com essa encenação! Agora que o divórcio foi assinado, você não precisa mais fingir. Você realmente acha que ficar perto de Juliana lhe dará o direito de continuar se beneficiando da família Carter?"<br /> <br /> Antes que Norah pudesse responder, Juliana interveio: "Norah sempre foi gentil conosco desde que se uniu à nossa família. Ela esteve ao lado de Derek durante todo o coma, cuidando dele com dedicação. Sem contar que sempre tratou eu e você com respeito. Por que você está sendo tão ingrata agora, depois de tudo que ela fez pela nossa família nos últimos dois anos?"<br /> <br /> "Juliana! Norah não passa de uma filha bastarda dos Wilsons. Por que você continua defendendo ela?" Sharon bateu com os pés. <br /> <br /> Ela olhou para Norah e insistiu: "E eu disse algo errado? Como essa mulher merece ser esposa de Derek? Se não fosse pela insistência sua e do seu marido para que ela se casasse com Derek, eu nunca teria aceitado essa mulher. Além disso, ela vive às custas da fortuna da família Carter desde o casamento. É claro que ela deveria tratar Derek e nós com respeito."<br /> <br /> Ela prosseguiu: "Por que você faz parecer que ela fez algo extraordinário? Além disso, ela não engravidou nos dois anos desde que se juntou à nossa família. Você quer ter bisnetos, não quer? Eu aposto que Derek se divorciou dela por isso."<br /> <br /> A expressão de Juliana se tornou severa. "Sharon, cuidado com as palavras. Como você pode dizer isso?"<br /> <br /> Surpresa com a expressão séria de Juliana, Sharon respondeu: "Estou apenas apontando fatos. Felizmente, ela não engravidou, pois isso poderia ter complicado o divórcio. Qualquer filho dela seria igualmente indesejável."<br /> <br /> Juliana, visivelmente perturbada pelas palavras de Sharon, segurou a mão de Norah para confortá-la e aconselhou: "Ignore ela, Norah. Ela é grosseira e mal-educada. Por favor, não tome decisões precipitadas sobre o divórcio. Enquanto eu estiver viva, só reconhecerei você como a esposa de Derek. Meu marido e eu realmente gostamos de você. Não se preocupe com a reação de Derek. Se concentre em se entender com ele e construir uma vida juntos."<br /> <br /> Sharon, com os olhos cheios de irritação, perguntou: "Juliana, o que aconteceu com você? Por que você está sempre defendendo Norah? Norah, aceitar o fim do casamento com Derek seria melhor para todos."<br /> <br /> Norah levantou os olhos para Juliana, com lágrimas reluzindo neles. <br /> <br /> Juliana, mantendo a sua compostura, disse: "Chega, Sharon. Você não tem voz nenhuma no casamento de Derek. Fique fora disso. E eu quero ressaltar novamente o quanto eu gosto de Norah. Se quer ficar falando bobagens, é melhor sair da minha frente. Agora!"<br /> <br /> Com isso, o rosto de Sharon se tingiu de vermelho, cheio de raiva e constrangimento, enquanto seus lábios se fechavam com firmeza, contendo qualquer objeção adicional. <br /> <br /> Juliana então se voltou para Norah com atenção, perguntando: "E você, o que pensa, Norah?"<br /> <br /> Norah encontrou o olhar de Juliana, com lágrimas deslizando pelo seu rosto enquanto ela lutava para falar. "Eu... agradeço muito, Juliana. Mas, hoje vi o que Madeline e Derek fizeram pelas minhas costas... Além disso, a indiferença de Derek comigo me mostrou que eu não tenho razão alguma para continuar nesse casamento."<br /> <br /> O semblante de Juliana empalideceu, sua expressão carregada de preocupação quando ela disse: "A culpa é de Derek."<br /> <br /> Juliana segurou as mãos de Norah com firmeza, oferecendo consolo: "Você sofreu muito nesses últimos dois anos."<br /> <br /> Norah permaneceu calada, e um breve momento de silêncio preencheu a sala. <br /> <br /> No instante seguinte, a voz estridente de Sharon rompeu o silêncio. "Madeline? Ela está de volta? Juliana, eu estou saindo agora. Tenho que fazer aquela mulher pagar."<br /> <br /> Sharon pegou sua bolsa às pressas e saiu da sala. <br /> <br /> Norah enxugou as lágrimas e sorriu, se sentindo aliviada. "Eu estou bem. Sério."<br /> <br /> Com o coração cheio de pesar, Juliana respondeu: "Bem, eu não vou insistir mais. Norah, por favor, venha me visitar sempre que puder. Sua companhia por si só é tudo para mim."<br /> <br /> Lágrimas se acumularam nos olhos de Juliana enquanto ela falava. Ela realmente apreciava Norah, reconhecendo sua importância na recuperação de Derek do coma. <br /> <br /> Norah, com doçura, enxugou as lágrimas de Juliana, reconhecendo a genuína gentileza oferecida. "Claro que irei. Bem, vou me despedir agora. Por favor, peça à empregada que prepare aquela sopa para você."<br /> <br /> Com isso, Norah partiu sem olhar para trás, despercebendo a determinação nos olhos de Juliana. <br /> <br /> Juliana, enxugando seus olhos, instruiu o mordomo: "Prepare para que Derek e os demais retornem para a Mansão Carter amanhã ao meio-dia."<br /> <br /> O mordomo assentiu: "Entendido."<br /> <br /> Ao deixar a Mansão Carter, Norah foi abordada pelo motorista da família. "Senhora, para onde devo levá-la?"<br /> <br /> Os modos do motorista se mantiveram respeitosos, embora agora Norah já não fosse mais considerada a esposa de Derek. <br /> <br /> Com o documento do divórcio assinado, Norah sabia que ela havia cortado os laços com a família Carter. Olhando para o seu celular, percebeu que tinha uma nova mensagem. <br /> <br /> Era de sua amiga, Joanna Andrews. <br /> <br /> "Norah, você está livre esta noite para ir ao Clube Glamour comigo? Eu ouvi dizer que Madeline voltou e Derek está dando uma festa de boas-vindas para ela. Vai ser um evento incrível. Vamos fazer nossa presença ser notada."<br /> <br /> A resposta de Norah foi breve. "Pode contar comigo."<br /> <br /> A resposta de Joanna era apenas um ponto de interrogação, porque a rápida concordância de Norah a surpreendeu. <br /> <br /> Norah explicou: "Estou oficialmente divorciada. Então, estou sozinha a partir de agora."<br /> <br /> Houve um breve silêncio na conversa, seguido por uma resposta entusiasmada e repleta de pontos de exclamação de Joanna. "Norah, onde você está agora? Vou te buscar imediatamente! Me dê dez segundos e eu estarei aí!"<br /> <br /> Se divertindo com o entusiasmo de Joanna, Norah enviou a ela a localização do Edifício Esplendor e instruiu o motorista: "Por favor, leve-me ao Edifício Esplendor."<br /> <br /> O Edifício Esplendor era conhecido em Glophia por ser um centro de luxo, apresentando marcas de renome internacional. <br /> <br /> Ao chegar lá, Norah foi calorosamente recebida. "Noelle, que prazer te ver. Veio aqui para entregar os esboços do projeto?"<br /> <br /> O luxuoso camarim estava repleto de vestidos deslumbrantes, cada um adornado com diamantes cintilantes. <br /> <br /> O estilista de alta-costura proveniente de Asodence, Aaron Harvey, aproximou-se teatralmente de Norah, segurou-a pelo braço e disse: "É uma pena ver você assim. Por que esconder esse rosto lindo? Você é como uma flor exótica, pronta para desabrochar."<br /> <br /> Norah piscou e concordou: "Você está certo, Aaron. Pode me ajudar com uma transformação?"<br /> <br /> Esperando uma resposta negativa de Norah, Aaron estava prestes a continuar a persuasão, mas, de repente, congelou diante da rápida concordância dela. "Espere aí. Você... Noelle, você está realmente querendo uma transformação? Meu Deus! Me procurar foi a melhor escolha que já fez!"<br /> <br /> Deixando de lado os rascunhos de design, Aaron conduziu Norah até a cadeira de maquiagem, dizendo: "Fique aqui. Garanto que você se transformará numa mulher deslumbrante quando eu deixar a sua beleza natural e o seu charme irresistível realizarem a mágica deles."<br /> <br /> Aaron olhou para a roupa simples e o cabelo despenteado que Norah tinha e começou ansiosamente a fazer a transformação dela com um pincel de maquiagem na mão. <br /> <br /> Quando Joanna chegou, Norah ainda estava sendo maquiada. <br /> <br /> Joanna já conhecia Aaron. Depois de cumprimentá-lo, ela se acomodou na cadeira de maquiagem próxima e disse: "Parabéns, Norah, pelo seu retorno oficial ao seu eu livre e desimpedido. Sua companheira leal, Joanna, está pronta e ansiosa para seguir o seu exemplo."<br /> <br /> <br /> Capítulo4 Clube Glamour<br /> <br /> Norah emitiu um sorriso. "Você realmente sabe escolher suas palavras, Joanna."<br /> <br /> Curiosa, Joanna perguntou: "Ei, você não se apaixonou por Derek? O que te fez acordar e deixar de estar apaixonada por ele?"<br /> <br /> A voz de Norah soou fria quando ela respondeu: "Eu flagrei Madeline e Derek passando um momento íntimo juntos..."<br /> <br /> Joanna não conseguiu segurar o riso. "Madeline está tão carente de atenção? Ela mal chegou e já está nos braços do marido de outra pessoa. Isso me faz questionar como era a vida dela no exterior. Mas, devo admitir que você e Derek pareciam loucos de amor. Ele estava encantado com seu primeiro amor, e você era dedicada a ele, que não te retribuiu. O amor realmente cega as pessoas?"<br /> <br /> Enquanto Joanna falava, os pensamentos de Norah vagavam. Hoje foi a primeira vez que ela tinha visto Madeline. <br /> <br /> Norah só tinha ouvido falar dela por meio de Derek e dos funcionários da casa, que a descreviam como gentil, empática, educada e descontraída, o que provavelmente era o tipo de mulher que atraía Derek. <br /> <br /> Norah sempre se esforçou para agradar Derek, adotando as supostas características de Madeline e até tentando se parecer com ela para chamar a atenção dele. <br /> <br /> Mas ser uma substituta nunca foi o suficiente. Além disso, Madeline não era como Norah imaginava. <br /> <br /> Com pouco entusiasmo, Norah respondeu: "Você entenderia se já tivesse sentido o amor te machucar."<br /> <br /> A testa de Joanna se enrugou. "Norah, eu não quero me perder com um amor. Eu prefiro estar alerta e ao seu lado. Desde que você se juntou à família Carter, nós mal nos vemos."<br /> <br /> Depois do casamento, Norah se dedicou a Derek e à família Carter, deixando sua vida anterior e suas amizades para trás. <br /> <br /> "Norah, agora que você está divorciada, vai participar da corrida na Montanha Krusa daqui a cinco dias?"<br /> <br /> "Não", Norah recusou firmemente: "Eu não corro há dois anos. Estou fora de forma."<br /> <br /> Joanna não parecia estar convencida. "Fora de forma? Tente dar uma desculpa melhor da próxima vez. Me diga, Norah, você ainda tem esperanças de voltar com Derek?"<br /> <br /> Joanna estava prestes a falar mal de Derek, mas mudou de assunto. "Você se lembra daquela corrida há três anos? Nocturne era o único que conseguia te acompanhar. Desde que você parou, ele ganhou o primeiro lugar na Corrida de Montanha Krusa nos últimos dois anos. Ele deve competir de novo esse ano. Você não quer ir ver ele?"<br /> <br /> A Corrida de Montanha Krusa era um evento emocionante e clandestino, onde a elite jovem e rica de Glophia se reunia para apreciar corridas de carros modificados. Este evento ficou famoso por suas corridas emocionantes e atraía uma audiência apaixonada por esportes radicais. <br /> <br /> Para preservar o anonimato dos participantes, os organizadores forneciam máscaras a cada piloto e eles adotavam codinomes durante a competição. <br /> <br /> Um aspecto especial da corrida era que o vencedor tinha o direito de pedir que os pilotos derrotados retirassem suas máscaras. <br /> <br /> Norah se lembrou da emocionante corrida de três anos atrás, na qual Nocturne quase conquistou o primeiro lugar, perdendo por apenas três segundos. <br /> <br /> Uma faísca de empolgação iluminou seus olhos quando ela comentou: "Bem, acho que não custa nada dar uma olhadinha nele."<br /> <br /> A menção ao "divórcio" despertou o interesse de Aaron. Ele perguntou: "Você está divorciada, Noelle? Esse sujeito realmente não sabe o que perdeu. Aposto que vai se arrepender de ter deixado uma pessoa tão especial como você. De qualquer jeito, sobre esses esboços de design..."<br /> <br /> Joanna desviou sua atenção para Aaron, perguntando: "Norah, você ainda está trabalhando nos designs para a BelleVogue? Não é surpresa que algumas das linhas de luxo deles se pareçam com as suas criações."<br /> <br /> Aaron sorriu com orgulho, afirmando: "Noelle é uma estilista renomada reconhecida pela Associação de Alta Moda. Os designs dela são conhecidos mundialmente e alcançam preços exorbitantes. Felizmente, por estar próximo de Noelle, eu fui um dos poucos a ter acesso a algumas de suas criações nos últimos dois anos."<br /> <br /> Joanna revirou os olhos e comentou: "Isso tudo por causa do talento de Norah. O que isso tem a ver com você, afinal de contas? Vamos lá, agilize. Eu preciso estar deslumbrante esta noite, assim como Norah."<br /> <br /> "Tudo bem, tudo bem. Apenas relaxem, e eu vou garantir que vocês duas estejam fabulosas."<br /> <br /> Uma hora depois, elas entraram no Clube Glamour. <br /> <br /> Na pista de dança, luzes brilhantes giravam e preenchiam o ambiente com vida. A música pulsava com energia enquanto as pessoas se moviam, seus rostos irradiando felicidade em meio ao aroma de bebida que pairava no ar. <br /> <br /> No segundo andar, Norah descansava sozinha num sofá, tomando sua bebida, enquanto atraía olhares curiosos. Ela estava vestindo um minivestido prateado sem alças, e seus cachos castanhos caíam suavemente por suas costas. A elegante curva de seu pescoço brilhava sob a luz enquanto ela saboreava sua bebida. <br /> <br /> "Essa é minha Norah!", exclamou Joanna, se sentando em frente a ela. "Você mal se encontrou comigo nos últimos dois anos, sempre vestida com aqueles trajes formais na casa dos Carters. Você não se sentia sufocada? É tão bom ver você de volta ao seu ambiente. Isso me deixa muito feliz."<br /> <br /> Norah tomou um gole de sua bebida em silêncio, sem dizer uma palavra. <br /> <br /> Enquanto o líquido quente deslizava por sua garganta, seu corpo se aquecia gradualmente. <br /> <br /> No início, apesar de ter se integrado na família Carter e cuidado de Derek diariamente, ela ainda apreciava se vestir elegantemente e usar maquiagem. No entanto, Sharon e a irmã de Derek, Kathy, frequentemente a criticavam por seu estilo chamativo. Elas alegavam que, com Derek inconsciente, ela não deveria se vestir de maneira tão extravagante. <br /> <br /> No final, Norah parou de se preocupar com seu visual para se dedicar inteiramente aos cuidados de Derek, se tornando totalmente a sua cuidadora. <br /> <br /> Mas aqueles tempos tinham ficado no passado. Agora, livre da família Carter, Norah podia se vestir como desejava, sem se importar com as críticas. <br /> <br /> Joanna olhou para o celular e depois ergueu os olhos. "Norah, você tem algum plano para estragar a festa de boas-vindas que Derek está preparando para aquela mulherzinha mais tarde? Quer que eu traga algumas pessoas para causar um alvoroço?"<br /> <br /> Norah fixava os olhos no líquido dourado que girava em seu copo enquanto o movia delicadamente. "Nós não viemos ao Clube Glamour à toa, não é verdade? Então, quem é essa pessoa que você quer que eu conheça?"<br /> <br /> Joanna pareceu surpresa por um momento e em seguida esboçou um sorriso astuto. "Norah, o que quer dizer com isso? Estamos aqui apenas para agitar as coisas!"<br /> <br /> "O Clube Glamour pertence à família Morris. Prefiro não perturbá-los ou irritá-los", disse Norah tranquilamente. "Eu sei que essa festa do Derek é apenas uma distração. Então, pode contar comigo. Quem está tentando me encontrar por meio dos seus arranjos?"<br /> <br /> A conversa delas foi interrompida por um telefonema. Joanna atendeu rapidamente, seu semblante mudando com a chamada. Indicando que precisava se afastar, ela sussurrou: "Eu tenho que atender. Volto logo."<br /> <br /> Norah percebeu a preocupação no rosto de Joanna e entendeu que a amiga tinha algo urgente para resolver, então concordou com a cabeça e colocou o copo na mesa, fazendo um leve barulho. <br /> <br /> Independentemente dos planos que Joanna estava tramando, Norah confiava plenamente que ela não a trairia. <br /> <br /> "Ei, linda, está sozinha? Se importa se eu me juntar a você para tomar uma bebida?"<br /> <br /> ...<br /> &4& | INSTALL_MOBILE_APP | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com. | 215069711684182 | Late reading | https://facebook.com/61554989897813 | 10,966 | 1 | 960,118,755,599,358 | 2024-05-08 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | Install now | 0 | Late reading | 120211729225730029 | play.google.com | NONE | video | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.changdu.ereader | 2024-05-06 23:44 | https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440775189_820792836561947_3462944178314473727_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=uj6bqYmf1vMQ7kNvgHpY5MM&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&oh=00_AfB-bALk9rhOuoEW6-9SEMG_fvWAPE_SkAjjtF8np2VuYA&oe=664258BC | person_profile | 0 | moboreader | https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/441064131_951656079782350_7846029527441189959_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=UeoQqCkCRXQQ7kNvgHszZbC&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAaDyE_kTj4TEBIR1wIAHIjAN2WWokEJyIwefCOtnbb8g&oe=66424A6F | 0 | 3 | Late reading | 0 | 0 | 2024-05-08 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||

🔞Click to read on📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife 📜 | After their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene.<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩 | LEARN_MORE | https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/mo1tcjk4n35rm | 101489936134366 | OasisStory | https://facebook.com/100087803393468 | 32,026 | 3 | 1,082,052,399,543,438 | 2024-05-03 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | OasisStory | 120211129059400428 | yumread.com | NONE | image | Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers!
