His Second Wife

Chapter 39

~Christopher’s POV~

I made a sneering remark.

This woman is without remorse. To deal with her effectively, I must strike her where it hurts the most. I’m uncertain what she desires of me. However, love was not what she desired. She desired something, which is why she returned. I stared at her and began to wonder what I had seen in her in the first place. This woman shattered all I held dear. And I allowed her to return and destroy what I was working on. I am aware that she is not to blame for my wife’s departure. I treated my wife as if she were unimportant, despite the fact that I loved her.

“You cannot simply chuck a pregnant woman out the window! I’m expecting your second child!”

“Listen, that child could be for Jacob or Jack Robertson, but it could never be mine, dear. However, if you insist that it is mine, have no fear. We will do a DNA test when the baby is born. This house belongs to Camila Grayston, my wife. You will never stay in this house ever again.”

“Why are you torturing me, Chris?”

“I haven’t started with you yet. Goodness, gracious. When I’m finished with you, you’ll wish you’d never approached me. You certainly will be. You plotted to kill my wife and son. Don’t think I’m unaware of what you’ve been up to. I’ve been allowing you to do as you want for the entirety of this period because you were the mother of my kid. I thought you’d be a mother to your son, but you’re incapable of mothering anyone. You assert that you desire the return of your son. Let’s see what the judge has to say about your attempt to murder your son. Liam is in a much better position without you. You lost him the day you infiltrated my life through deception. You have been deceiving me and posing as a saint. You chose the wrong person. Perhaps you should have continued to target Joshua rather than me. However, I believe Joshua and I were puppets in your game for some reason. You want to be the glue that holds my life and the lives of my family together. Once I am done with you, I will make sure that

you have nothing. I’m going to wipe out your lineage. I will see to it that you suffer. Robin, get this moron out of my house.”

One week later,

I stepped into my office and called my brother for the first time. We disagree, but I need to sort out my shit and reclaim my family. My wife did not deserve to be treated the way I treated her. I realize she’s young, but I should have inquired as to her desires instead. I knew she had feelings for me, yet all I did was play with her emotions, an error on my end. I will never forgive myself for doing that to her. She entered my life at an inopportune moment. Her absence from me is ideal. An abrupt knock on my door. Most likely, it is him. He entered and took a position near the door.

“Can you tell me what you want?”

To be honest, we’ve never liked one another, so I don’t blame him. I’d be amazed if this meeting went without us punching each other.

“I’d like to speak with you about your girlfriend,” I observed.

“I’m assuming you’re referring to your wife, or should I say, ex-wife? Is that why you summoned me?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Obviously, we are not business associates. What other reason would I summon you?”

“Listen, Chris; I’m not in the mood for your infantile antics. Besides, I’m busy with my family right now, so if you want to chat about your sleazy ex-wife, sorry, I do not have time for that. My family is significant to me, and you do not have one. It’s for this reason that you fuck around.”

“Is that so? Can you then explain these?” I hurled the pictures in his direction. While clenching his jaw, he kept his eyes wide open as he looked at me.

“Can you tell me where you got these?” I took a sip of my drink and swirled it around in my hand.

“You just stated that you have a family and are unable to devote time to my games. But as you can see, you have a lot of explaining to do, and you are not permitted to leave this building unless I specifically instruct you to do so.”

“Are you trying to scare me, Chris? You are just a naïve boy.”

“Naive, you say. Should I make a call to your wife?”

“Alright, alright, I’ll tell you everything.”

“I’m listening. I’d like you to begin with the first time you met her, where she was and what she said to you. If you do not want these pictures of you and Claudia ending up in your wife’s hands, I’m not making light of the situation.”

“When Grandfather entrusted me with the family business, I traveled to Morocco for business and met Claudia. She stated that she was also on a business trip. We socialized, one thing naturally led to another. To me, she was simply someone I desired to spend time with at the time. Then I fell head over heels in love with her. I introduced her to Grandfather, and he didn’t give her a second glance. He expressed his disapproval of her straight without hesitation. He disapproved, he didn’t try to hide his emotions. Then I met my wife, and after a month, we got married. Claudia told me that I would have to pay for what I had done, and I overlooked it. To be honest, I didn’t love my wife at the time, but married her because I wanted children and was growing older. However, after a year, you told us that you had married. None of us attended your wedding. I knew I couldn’t resist Claudia when you brought her to our family lunch. We began dating all over again. Certainly, I believed, and continue to believe, that you married her knowing she was my girlfriend.”

“Do you think if I knew, I would plunge my cock into the same pool as your tiny cock?”

“Watch it!”

“What, is it painful? Let me tell you, I went on a business trip and the bitch told me the same cheap bullshit she told you. I was completely unaware that Claudia was your girlfriend. Furthermore, I was unaware that you introduced her to Grandfather. I despise family gatherings and luncheons. You are aware that I chose to marry her in the least public manner possible. However, even after I married her, you continued to have sexual relations with her. Why?”

“She came to me. She always does.”

“I know how much you detest me and how much I detest you, but have you ever wondered why she keeps coming back to us after brazenly sleeping with both of us? Not to mention not knowing who the baby’s father is. You were her intended victim, and you continue to be her intended victim. I’m not sure what she wants from us, but I believe we are her pawn in order to obtain what she desires. She is currently married to Jacob Robertson, yet she is still returning to us. She knows a lot about us; how did she learn we were traveling on business? Someone around us is assisting her. Who is the question? She started lurking around us when I bought out Cooper corporation from the family business. As we are both aware, I am not interested in the family business. Despite the fact that I am the majority shareholder, I do not wish to work for my family. I’m not certain, but Claudia is familiar with the Coopers in some way. And I happen to know who may be her informant. Nonetheless, you must cooperate; if you don’t, brother, I will burst your balls.”

“Why do you enjoy threatening me?”

“Retaliation for what you did to me as a child. At least we didn’t punch each other today.”
