One Hundred Twenty Pages of Betrayal Novel

The nurse looked surprised to see me alone . " Your husband didn't come with you this time ? " I had severe allergies . Normally , even a little bit of dust would send Travis into full - blown panic mode , dragging me to the hospital without question . No exceptions - not even when it meant delaying a shareholders ' meeting . I smiled and shook my head . " He's busy . " After the injection , the nurses ' station suddenly buzzed with excitement . " Oh my God , that man is so hot .

" " Have you ever seen anyone walk into a hospital carrying a massive bouquet of roses and his girlfriend at the same time ? One arm for her , one arm for the flowers ! " " Her skin's just a little red from the burn . If they'd waited any longer , she probably would've healed on her own . " My gaze drifted to the window , landing squarely on that extravagant bouquet of vibrant roses . He was standing there , looking down at his phone . Ding . A message from Travis . " Elise , how are you feeling ? Any better ? " I looked down again .

He'd already slipped his phone away and was now holding the girl's hand as they walked off . Fingers laced together , matching rings gleaming between them like they were made for each other . I lowered my head and accepted two new friend requests . Their profile pictures matched Travis's newly updated one - clearly couple - style . Before that , his had always been a photo of me . The younger of the two messaged me right away , not bothering to be polite . " Since you're already divorced , please move out by the end of the day - and clean up after yourself .

" They didn't know that , out of guilt , Travis had left eighty percent of his assets to me in the divorce papers - including the villa they were now living in . I snapped a picture of the relevant clause and sent it back . " You've read the agreement , haven't you ? " Silence . Then my phone rang . " Elise , what kind of wedding theme do you like ? " There wasn't much I needed to take with me . One suitcase was enough to pack it all . Chapter 2 As I came downstairs , I saw Travis curled up on the sofa - when he'd gotten there , I had no idea .

I got myself some water , grabbed the antacid , and walked over . Then , without warning , he jumped to his feet and slapped me across the face . " Elise Whitman , you crossed the line ! " " Who said you could show them our divorce agreement ?! " " I've explained this to you a hundred times - they're just a bit of fun . They don't change what you mean to me . Once I've had my fill , I'll come back to the family . Why are you being so dramatic ? " " People like us - our kind of status - it's normal to have a few women on the side . Even your dad- " My eyes burned .

I glared at him , shaking with rage . His tone softened . He stepped forward and pulled me into his arms . " And besides , these past years ... I've only had you . Haven't you felt how much I love you ? " " Come on , baby . I swear - after this , I'm done for good . I'll stay with you , only you , for the rest of my life . " Back then , that playboy heir had chased me for three whole years . He said I was the only one for him . He said he'd protect me and my family with his life . And I believed him . Now those same words meant nothing . I'd heard them too many times .

I don't even know when the trust started to wear thin . Maybe it was the first time one of his mistresses disappeared and he used my work account to post some sickly sweet love confession , just to lure her back - making me a laughingstock in our whole social circle . The next day , the press ambushed me outside the office , flashbulbs blinding me as I stood there completely alone . Maybe it was on our anniversary - he ditched me for some skydiving stunt to impress a girl , while I got left behind to be scolded by his family for not keeping my husband safe .

Or maybe it was the day he ignored all one hundred and one of my calls while partying at Disneyland with them- leaving me stranded and begging for help . Chapter 2 admin
