CIERRA'S POV

“Babe,” I said as I approached Miles by the poolside. He gently looked up at me from his laptop, his expression immediately telling me to speak. His fingers paused above the keyboard while his attention shifted fully toward me.

“I wanna show you something,” I said before opening my phone and going straight to my gallery. I began scrolling through the pictures on my phone, searching for one in particular. It had to be somewhere here. I knew I still had it.

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 048

    ANABEL’S POV “It’s you,” I said slowly, straightening to my feet. My face was still caught somewhere between disbelief and shock, and my heart was doing something strange and fast in my chest that I refused to examine too closely. How was he here? I mean, it wasn’t impossible for him to be here. Plenty of important people probably passed through a building like this every single day, especially a headquarters as massive and well-known as this one. But this was the absolute last place I’d expected to run into him. I’d spent days searching for any trace of him, scrolling through countless photos online late at night when I couldn’t sleep, checking every corner of the internet I could think of, typing his name into every search bar I had access to, growing more frustrated with each dead end. I’d come up with absolutely nothing. Not a single lead. And now, out of nowhere, he had simply materialized in front of me, today of all days, in the lobby of the very building where I’d just lan

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 047

    ANABEL’S POV I stood outside the Ambercaz building the next morning, staring up at it for far longer than I probably needed to. It rose so high above the surrounding skyline that I had to tilt my head all the way back just to catch a glimpse of where the glass disappeared into the clouds. Its dark, tinted panels caught the early morning sunlight and reflected it in sharp, blinding angles. I’d driven past this building more times than I could count over the years, always assuming it belonged to some faceless corporation I’d never have a reason to think twice about. Now, apparently, it was about to become my workplace. My hands were slightly sweaty around the strap of my bag, and I quickly wiped them against my skirt before forcing myself to walk toward the entrance. Everything about the building screamed money and power in a way that made my stomach flutter with nerves—the polished black marble stretching across the plaza outside, the security personnel stationed at intervals alon

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 046

    ANABEL'S POV I stared at the unfinished message for a long moment, my thumb hovering over the screen, half tempted to close the app entirely and pretend I hadn’t seen it. Maybe I could give myself a few more minutes of blissful ignorance before facing whatever bad news waited at the end of that sentence. Whatever came next, I told myself, I’d rather not know than sit here bracing for a rejection I couldn’t do anything about anyway. But that wasn’t really an option, was it? Not knowing would be worse than knowing, no matter how bad the news turned out to be. The uncertainty was already gnawing at something deep inside me. So I forced myself to gather whatever courage I had left after the day I’d already had and scrolled down to read the rest of the message, the small flicker of hope I’d been holding onto already fading as I braced myself for the worst. [There has been a change of plans. Initially, you applied to be Halden Group Tech’s official secretary, and the chairman approved

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 045

    ANABEL’S POV Even though the call had ended hours ago and I had gone through my usual daily routine, none of it managed to get that conversation out of my head. The funny part was that the conversation wasn’t even anything serious. It’s not like I’d gotten a call from the hospital telling me someone I knew had died or anything. Yet it kept living rent-free in my mind. I kept trying to make sense of something that refused to fit neatly into any explanation I could come up with. Eventually, though, I made myself let it go. Maybe I was overthinking something that didn’t need this much thought at all. Maybe the chairman had simply glanced through a stack of resumes, mine happened to be on top, and that was the whole story. No conspiracy, no hidden motive, just plain luck finally deciding to swing in my direction after a string of days that had felt like nothing but bad ones. Whatever the reason, I wasn’t about to talk myself out of a real opportunity by overanalyzing it to death. As

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 044

    ANABEL’S POVI remained silent on the line for a few seconds. My brows drew together so tightly that a sharp ache settled right between my eyes. I couldn’t see my own face right now, but if there had been a mirror in front of me, I was certain the confusion written across it would have been impossible to miss.I sat frozen on the edge of the bed, the laptop still heavy on my knees, trying to make sense of the words that had just come through the phone. Honestly, I didn’t understand a single thing the woman had just said. It felt like my brain was spinning its wheels in the mud, unable to gain any traction."I’m sorry… what did you say?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I cleared my throat quickly, trying to sound more composed, more like a professional adult and less like a woman who had just stepped out of the shower with wet hair and a racing heart. I just needed to hear her say it one more time to be absolutely sure I wasn’t imagining things, that my desperate, exhausted m

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 043

    ANABEL'S POV I stepped out of the shower, still wrapped in my robe, my hair dripping tiny trails of water down my back as I padded barefoot across the room. The tiles were still cool beneath my feet even after the steam had cleared. The apartment was quiet at this hour, the kind of quiet that used to unsettle me back when silence only ever meant Miles wasn't home. But over the past few days, it had slowly started to feel almost peaceful instead, like a small mercy I hadn't expected to find here. I made my way over to the laptop Chloe had lent me. She wasn't using it much these days since she mostly worked from her phone. I settled onto the edge of the bed with it balanced carefully on my knees. I pulled up my email, scanning through my inbox with the same cautious hope I'd carried for the past week, checking to see if any of the jobs I'd applied for had responded yet. I wasn't just relying on walking into places anymore, not after the disaster at the lounge. I'd started applying on

    ANABEL'S POV I took a small breath, steadying my emotions and finally pushing away all the tears I'd been crying for the past few minutes. Every now and then, I could still feel the heaviness lingering in my chest, but I couldn't keep breaking down forever. There was no room for tears anymore. Y
