Divorce never felt so good Novel by Adina Goodwill

Chapter 10 Zoe glared at Isis , her voice sharp .

Whats that supposed to mean ! Youd rather defend a housekeeper than stand by your own family ! Isis met her gaze , unwavering .

And you all just assumed 1 hum Alice without even asking ? Every one of you was there did anyone see me do anything ? What part of what Sophie said was a lie ? William couldnt hold back anymore .

His voice thundered through the room .

Enough All his anger exploded at Isis Youve crossed the line ! Isis let out a cold laugh .

Crossed the line how ? Because I didnt let Alice shove me to the ground ? Willum snapped , She didnt do it on purpose ! Shes just a kid ! You think she meant any harm ! In two months , shell be eighteen .

Still calling her a kid ! Isis scoffed .

Thats enough , bis ! William barked .

Youre being completely unreasonable Not backing down an inch .

Isis kept her tone ity .

None of you have said a single word about Alice pushing me , but somehow , Im the bad guy ! If this is what you call being reasonable , then no thanks Without another word , Isis turned on her heel and walked away .

Every second spent arguing with them felt like a waste of breath .

The three left behind in the living room fumed with anger .

Isis had always been easygoing , never one to openly call them out like this.

Had she lost her mind today Zoes eyes burned with fury as she watched Isis leave .

That girl has no place in this family anymore ! Just wait 11l make sure she pays for this ! Back in the bedroom , Sophie was livid .

A bunch of greedy , ungrateful leeches ! she huffed .

Sophic continued , Leaving them is the best thing you could do ! The Moore family has more money than they could ever dream of just a fraction of it would be enough to set you up for life .

Why waste your time suffering in this house ? his smirked coldy .

Suffering Staying here any longer and Ill be lucky to make it out alive All I wanted now was to talk to Adrian about the divorce .

But two days had passed , and he still hadnt come home .

She was getting impatient .

And then , just as Isis was reaching her limit , Zoe finally made her move .

Since the explosive fight that day , Isis had completely detached herself from the Anderson family .

She didnt eat with them , barely acknowledged them , and most of her meals were with Sophie outside the house .

Strangely enough , no one had confronted her about it .

Even Alice had been keeping quiet .

If anything , their attitude toward her had taken a bizarre rum they were suddenly being nice .

And if there was one thing Isis knew for sure , it was that kindness from them never came without a catch .

It didnt take long for that catch to show That evening .

Zoe suddenly became overly affectionate , practically dragging Isis to sit beside her , her smile so forced it looked painful .

Isis narrowed her eyes .

How do I never notice how take her kindness is before ? Holding her hand warmly , Zoe cooed , Isis , you and Adrian havent even spent your honeymoon ! He wants to make it up to you with something special Honeymoon ! luiss frown deepened .

What are they scheming now ? It was true Isis and Adrian had never spent their honeymoon together .

In the past life , he also never touched her .

Looking back now , the fact that she hadnt questioned it was downright ridiculous .

At that moment , Zoe pulled our a keycard and placed it in Isiss hand .

Adrian booked the best suite at the Regal Hotel .

You dont need to come home tonight just enjoy your time with him .

Well , well .

Ius turned the keycard over in her fingers .

She ludust expected them to play this card : There was no way Adrian had set up a romantic surprise .

And even if he had , Isis wouldnt want it .

Just the thought of the two of them together made her stomach turn Sull , his gave Zoe a noncommittal smile and nodded .

If they were setting her up , she wanted to see exactly what kind of trap they were laying this Chapter 10 As soon as bus left , William emerged from the study , his face tense .

Do you think shell actually go ! Zoe smirked , confidence oozing from her Of course , she will ! Shes absessed with Adrian she practically threw herself at him just to marryi y into this family .

Do you really think shed pass up a night with him ? William hesitated , then sighed .

It was true tsis had done everything for Adrian , even treating them with undeserved generosity .

Zoes eyes gleamed with something dark .

She said , As long as the steps into that room , I can guarantee she wont be walking out .

Williams expression twisted with something unreadable disgust , maybe .

But in the end , he said nothing .

For the sake of the Anderson familys future , he was willing to tum a blind eye .

Zoe had sold Isis to be at the hotel by seven that evening .

But around four in the afternoon , she rushed out of the house .

What she didnt notice was the black sedan that had been silently railing her the entire way .

Inside the car , Isis watched her every m move , her eyes cold .

Lets see exactly ily how she plans to set up this so called surprise ! Meanwhile , at the hospital , a grueling case conference had finally wrapped up .

In appreciation of the doctors hard work , the hospital had given them the rest of the day off Among those leaving were Layla and Adrian .

After two days of non stop work , Adrian was dying to get home , take a long shower , and crash in bed .

But Layla stopped him .

Adrian , we havent had any real alone time in forever .

Layla murmured , her voice carrying a hint of shyness .

Why dont you skip going home tonight ! Adnan paused .

Then where would I go ? Laylas checks flushed .

We could just get a hotel or something ..

For a moment , Adrian was caught off guard .

Then he met Laylas expectant , slightly embarrassed gaze , and something inside him stirred .

Well , his family knew hed been swamped these past few days .

One more night away wouldnt hurt .

Alright Adrian agreed Just like that , the two headed for the Regal Hotel , which was close to the hospital .

Sall tailing Zoe , Isis ended up at the same hotel .

And when she watched Zoe walk in with a tall , burly man at her side , her eyes widened .

Is she cheating Isis thought .

But she dismissed it immediately .

Is knew Zoe too well money and status were all she cared about .

Last ! That had never been her weakness .

But someone elses was Keeping her distance , Isis followed them up to the thirty second floor .

She watched as Zoe led the man straight into a specific room .

Her gaze Licked to the number on the keycard in her hand .

It was the same room .

Instantly , everything clicked into place .

Zoe had arranged for Isis and this man to end up in the same hotel room , waiting for the perfect moment to catch them together .

Once that happened , how would Isis ever prove her innocence ? Her reputation , her dignity gone in an instant .

Is let out a cold , silent laugh .

Oh , so it really is a honeymoon night just with a different man .

That swap changed everything .

If the Andersons got ahold of this , theyd accuse her of cheating , and Isis would be left with nothing .

No worse than nothing .

They wouldnt just throw Isis out with empty pockets .

Theyd take everything that belonged to the Moore family too .

How greedy could they pr Jums eyes turned ice cold The Andersons never failed to push her understanding of human depravity .

Once Zoe left , lus slipped into the room .

She pushed open the door and smiled at the burly man inside .

The man froze the moment he une her , darting a panicked glance at his watch .

This wasnt right she wasnt supposed to be here yet ! You ..

How did you r Isis kept smiling , but there was nothing warm about it .

Dad I come to early ? Wer Were you not finished sening up whatever trap you had planned for The man looked even more confused .

What the bell is going on ? Ius let the stride fade , her voice turning sharp .

How much did that old woman pay you ? Ill triple in .

Tell me everything she told you to do .

m Chapter 10 The man hesitated , his eyes trailing over her .

There was intrigue in his stare appreciation even .

The woman standing before him was stunning .

But has thoughts didnt get far .

A flash of silver caught his eye as Isis pulled out a set of long needles , their sharp tips gleaming ominously under the light Td take the money if I were you Isis said coolly , twirling a needle between her fingers .

Because if you dont , youll be paying a much bigger price .

Isis tilted her head , her gaze dropping pointedly to a very specific part of his body .

I wont kill you , she murmured .

But I will make sure youll never be a man again .

A shudder ran down his spine .

The man thought , Losing that ! Id rather be dead .

And for what Im already getting paid why risk it Without further hesitation , the man spilled everything Just as Isis suspected .

Zoe had set her up .

The plan was sumple : get her into this hotel room , ensure she woke up in bed with another man , and then stage a dramatic caught in the act scene .

The evidence would be undeniable .

A dear case of adultery .

Isiss eyes turned to ice .

Cold fury called around her , sinking deep into her bones .

She ordered the man to leave and stepped out of the room , ber mand steady and razor sharp .

The moment she reached the hotel lobby , Isis stopped dead in her tracks .

Hand in hand , looking every bit like a loving couple .

Adrian and Laylı walked through the entrance .

A chill settled over her .

Isis snapped .

Well , well ! My dear husband , is off to a romantic night with his mistress .

My mother in law , scheming to destroy me .

What a perfect day ! Isis watched as the two checked in and made their way upstairs , laughing softly , wrapped up in each other .

If thats how they want to play it , then fine .

Lets make this fun , she thought Iss strode to the from desk and leaned in slightly .

Excited , they quickly grabbed their things and headed to the front desk .

As soon as they left , Isis stepped out from the shadows , watching them disappear with a smirk .
