After my death my husband who threw me into the hunting grounds went insane novel

Chapter 22 This wasnt a vacation .

It was a week of torture .

It had only been three freaking days , and Id gone crazy .

Just like yesterday , I didnt do anything at all .

I had no energy to go out .

Mom and Thomas didnt seem to care that I was in the room all day , and it was already afternoon ! To entertain myself , I was also checking my inbox to see if there were any new messages , but Jax seemed busy .

There were only three people in the world I could talk to , my roommate Katherine , her boyfriend Nate , and Jax .

But they would be busy with their own lives .

Jax would be having a meeting today , and I hadnt heard his voice lately .

Katherine had gone home with Nate , so they were surely busy .

I came down almost after dinner and found Mom and Thomas in the living room , watching some TV .

Hi .

Can we talk ? Darling , of course .

Thomas tensed up .

He picked up the remote control and shut the TV off .

I sat on the seat across them .

First of all , I want to apologize for being rude yesterday .

Its okay , sweetheart .

We understand that its probably too early to discuss this , Mom said softly .

Your mother asked me to take it slow , but youve been away from us for six years .

I think its the right time .

I know , I just think I dont deserve it .

You deserve it , Thomas assured me and smiled .

I want you to feel that you are a part of this family .

Was I ? But why did I feel like Im always alone ? I dont want it if it was coming from Luke .

He didnt work hard for it just to give it to me .

someone whos like a stranger to him , I said frankly .

You dont have to worry about Luke .

It has already been transferred under your name .

He just needs your signature .

Is there anything we can do , so I wont have to accept this ? Thats all you have to do .

Accept it .

Dont worry , not everything came from Luke .

He grinned sweetly and then kissed Mom on the cheek .

Youll find out everything when you meet Lukes lawyer , Mom informed .

And shes coming for dinner .

What ? Im not properly dressed for this .

I am Its just Rebecca , Thomas said .

Shes our company law .

Everything is happening so fast .

I just came here the other day you already look lovely .

Why dont we talk about school instead ? Arent you graduatin s year he asked , probably just to start another conversation .

I had a feeling its to make my senses calm , but it wasnt working .

Im always busy with my thesis , I answered anyway .

Im in the middle of finishing the program Im developing with my team .

But Im getting help , so dont worry .

Are you happy with this type of career ? Your mother told me you have a knack for painting .

I chuckled .

Yes , but this path grew on me .

Just like art , I love creating something new from scratch .

Im going to be building a new world through technology .

But it doesnt mean I dont want to pursue art at all .

Maybe someday .

Thomass eyes seemed dazzled with admiration .

He nodded in approval .

Ill support you in everything you do , Scar .

Me and your Mom , 1 grinned , as it was one of the sweetest things Id ever heard from someone who wasnt my own blood .

He was more of a father to me than my actual father .

Of course , you will .

You guys are great .

And when I thought I finally had the moment with them , Cely abruptly cut in whispered something that made Thomas nod .

Its time for you to meet our lawyer .

A tall woman with long , straight blonde hair , curvy and sexy as hell with a face of a Barbie doll , came into the living room .

Surprisingly , she looked too 12:53 After My Death .

My Th Chapter 22 young to be the lawyer they were talking about .

How she walked was pure elegance , and those words werent enough to describe such a goddess .

Hi ! she greeted cheerfully with her soft , soothing voice .

Both Thomas and Mom immediately sprang up at her presence like she was the most important person in the room , and she kissed their cheeks .

Mr.

and Mrs.

Alejandro , Im so delighted to see you again .

Happy belated Birthday , by the way .

I wasnt able to attend the party since I was out of town .

But these are for you .

She lifted a silver paper bag with big ribbons on it and gave it to Mom .

Oh , this is lovely .

Thank you , Rebecca .

She hugged her again .

Oh , I heard youve already had dinner , but we prepared dessert .

Come and join us .

She shrugged then smiled .

Sure ! Id love to .

Another second later , Luke appeared behind her , and instantly his hand landed at Rebeccas back .

He was still taller than her by a few inches , but she almost matched him .

My heart began pounding fast with mixed emotions .

Good evening , Luke greeted and kissed Moms cheek as well .

Darling .

Im asking Rebecca to join us for dessert .

But oh , Rebecca , I would like you to meet my daughter .

Scarlet , this is Rebecca , the lawyer whos going to handle your transfer papers , Mom introduced , but I couldnt move a muscle .

So , she really was the lawyer they were talking about ..

Hello , Scarlet .

I heard a lot about you .

I hope we can get along .

She smiled politely , and we shook hands .

Hi .

Its a pleasure to meet you too , I responded simply .

Well , why dont we continue this discussion in the dining room ? Thomas joined in.

After you , Rebecca .

Sure , Mr.

Alejandro .

Before she released my hand , she left a soft and gentle squeeze .

I hated to admit it , but I could tell that she was a lovely person too .

I responded with a smile .

Thomas and Mom lead her first to the dining area .

I stood still as I watched the three of them laugh together at something I couldnt hear anymore .

I even saw Mom tucked a few hair strands behind her ears , the way she did when I said something funny .

Not coming ? I jumped in surprise when I heard Lukes pure male voice behind me .

I rolled my eyes .

What now ? He raised an eyebrow .

Whats with your reaction ? He clicked his tongue twice , then shook his head .

Nice shorts , by the way .

He winked at me and walked away , leaving me open mouthed .

I looked at myself and suddenly became self conscious .

I instantly regretted that I did not wear anything better .

But what hit me and got my cheeks burning in embarrassment was when I realized that I had worn my shorts inside out .
