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

Chapter 28 Islammed the phone down , then massaged my temples in irritation .

The project my father transferred to me was giving me a headache .

These Japanese partners were fucking making demands when they only had fucking two percent of the share .

My thoughts suddenly interrupted when Nikki , my general manager , stepped inside the room .

Hey ..

she greeted with a smile .

You dont look fine .

How are you ? What are you still doing here ? I thought you were busy with your prenuptial ? She rolled her eyes .

I cant if my boss is alone here and needs help .

But thats not why I am here .

You have a visitor outside .

What ? Who is it ? She crossed her arms and raised her eyebrow .

Long legs , blonde , curvy .

Who else ? Rebecca .

I concluded .

But come on , do you really have to say it like that ? I think Im having a thing with brunettes now .

With Nikki , I always find myself at ease .

She was one of the few friends I could trust , and she was dedicated to her job , I must add .

You and your flirting thing .

She clicked her tongue .

This is why my fiancée didnt want me working with you .

I laughed .

Send Cavendish my regards .

He actually said the same thing .

Alright .

I cleared my throat .

Tell Rebecca she can come in .

Sure , boss .

She winked , then exited the room .

A few minutes later , Rebecca stepped inside .

I could already tell what she wanted .

She was going to ask me about the process of Scarlets transfer papers .

To be honest , I didnt want to delay it .

I just wanted to torture the witch .

When she turned out to be Ericka , it gave me an idea of how I was going to deal with her .

I could never accept her as a part of my family .

How could I when she was making me hard all the time ? Rebecca settled in the seat in front of my desk .

She pulled out the documents from her bag and put them on the table .

It wasnt the transfer titles , but something else .

What is this ? You have to review this .

She sounded serious .

I frowned .

Whats wrong ? I think you need to think twice , Luke .

Your father doesnt seem to know your stepsister well .

I think you should talk to your father about this .

I dont think we should proceed with the transfer , for now .

Why not ? I finally opened the first folder .

Its her documents for the civil registrar .

Your stepsister seemed to be married before .

The world stopped for a moment .

I dont think I heard her right .

What ? Can you repeat what you just said ? She sighed .

She was married before , Luke .

I dont really find this as an issue , but I just thought you might not know .

I choked and glanced up at Rebecca in surprise because I think I just received all the possible shocking revelations I could in a few days .

Married ? I repeated hoarsely .

Yes , but she still appears to be a single woman because her marriage was invalid .

But the marriage was recorded ; she was summosodla certain Raoul Velazquez .

Chapter 28 My blood pressure rose , I almost crumpled the papers because it really seemed to be the case .

Right .

Dad didnt know anything about this , I murmured .

But did Gene know ? She didnt seem to know either .

She wouldve told Dad .

She wouldnt lie to him .

I knew there was something more to discover with the witch .

I just didnt expect that it would be like this .

How did you find out about this ? I always do a CI , Luke .

This kind of thing actually didnt matter on the legal procedures since the marriage is not valid , but I was worried that this might cause personal conflict .

Rebecca didnt have to worry about that .

She was always precise about her job , and she was right .

This was going to be a conflict .

Yes .

It is a problem .

I nodded .

Are you sure the marriage is not valid ? Im sure .

Raoul Velazquez has a first wife .

Fucking bastard .

I clenched my fist .

And when did all of this happen ? I asked .

Rebecca turned the document to the next page .

It says it here ; three years ago , Luke.

It was her second year at Harvard .

Any children ? None listed , and no medical records .

So , Im sure an unplanned pregnancy is not the reason .

11 Odd , I commented in a whisper .

But it wont change the fact that she married the man .

But how was that possible ? She was young , probably one of the reasons why she didnt tell us .

Just how long are you going to bury this thing about you , witch ? I needed to get home early .

Have you told this to anyone ? Just you .

Dont tell my father .

I stood , grabbing my coat and my keys .

Where are you going ? Home .

There was a witch in the house I needed to deal with .

How could she fucking refuse my offer when she was married once ? Id never been so angry and so aroused at the same time .

I was sure the lucky bastard had tasted every inch of her .

Now , I was going to make sure I could give her more than she had ever experienced .

This time , I was not going to accept no for an answer .

SCARLET It was after lunch when Nate arrived .

I introduced him again to Mom , but she needed to go since Thomas was waiting for her outside .

I heard they were going to attend a wedding , and they were going to be home late .

Undoubtedly , they were the busiest couple in the world .

We started setting up our computer on the balcony .

Nate brought his laptop with him .

We were going to test the new MMORPG game we started developing last year .

The project was also included in our thesis .

I was thrilled Nate came ; he was going to save me from another day of misery .

Are we going to start at the beginning of the game ? Yes .

We should .

I need to add more skills .

I wanted to find out whats missing .

His eyes focused on the screen .

It was what I liked about Nate .

When it came to programming , he always wanted perfection , and he just wouldnt stop .

Sure .

Honestly , building a new character was the most exciting part .

Im going to choose Mage .

Boo ! That choice is for babies .

You created this baby .

I rolled my eyes .

Im tired of just using The Archer .

Oh , hey , why dont you build a character that could use 12:54 Chapter 28 Dont you think its cheating ? Of course not .

Its going to be a bomb ! But you can only use all skills when you reach level 150.

Swords , Gun Master , Archer , and the Mage .

Four in one character ? His expression lit up .

Thats a good idea .

See ? Oh , wait for me here .

Im going to get us a snack .

Sure .

He smiled , but his focus was still on the game .

I was about to get inside the house , but my phone suddenly vibrated .

I rolled my eyes irritably then checked who was calling .

Lukes name appeared on the screen .

What did he want this time ? Hello ? Come upstairs .

Now .

Upstairs ? Hes in the house ? Where are you ? See me in the library .

Hes home , but I hadnt noticed him .

When did he arrive ? I checked my wristwatch , and it was only past three in the afternoon .

It was too early .

Nate was staring at me , and he mouthed a what .

I shook my head in disappointment .

Im coming , I uttered , then I hung up .

Your brother ? Nate frowned .

I thought he wouldnt be back until tonight .

And hes not my brother , I corrected .

Its the same .

What does he want ? To torture me .

Ugh ! I cant wait to get out of this house .

I almost screamed in annoyance .

Nate chuckled .

Go on , maybe the spirit of Jax is still in him .

You should probably ask his opinion about this game .

Dont joke with me like that .

Go on , Im fine here .

I need to concentrate , too .

You sure ? Im so sorry , Nate .

Its okay .

Just call me if you need help .

Ill smack him down for you .

I couldnt help but laugh .

Thanks .

I took a deep breath and headed inside .

Slowly , I dragged my feet to go upstairs .

What did he want now ? I was working on my thesis .

Couldnt he just cooperate with me for once and let me be ? I knocked on the library door .

I did not wait for an answer because I wasnt sure if he would respond or not .

I found Luke immediately standing in front of the shelves , scanning through the line of books .

I cleared my throat to catch his attention .

What do you want ? Im working on my thesis .

office , Its Nate , isnt it ? He spun around and faced me , dressed in an impeccable navy blue three piece suit .

He seemed to have just come home from his Yes .

Let him wait .

He put the book back on the shelf .

The sound made me jump in surprise .

Have you thought about my proposition ? 12:54 After My Desti Chapter 28 Theres nothing to think about .

I already said no .

He smirked .

You answered me without even thinking .

Last night , I told you that youll regret that you refused .

I wont ! I shot back .

Did you just ask me to come here to say that ? He shrugged .

I was actually about to propose a new deal , and its something you wouldnt be able to resist .

I lifted my chin .

And what is that ? First , youre coming with me to Cambridge .

Were leaving tomorrow .

Im doing you a favor since there was nothing to do in this house .

And of course , I insist .

Second , youre going to tell me which apartment you live in so I can come and see you whenever I like .

Third , you should be available on weekends .

Lastly … He slipped his hands into his trousers and walked towards me , youre going to do it because Im going to save you from an upcoming humiliation since Ive found out your secret .

My mouth parted .

My heart just stopped beating .

What secret ? His expression darkened , and for the first time , I felt his control over me .

You were married , witch .
