All Chapters of The Cruel Husband Who Regretted Losing Me: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

LukeI looked at the screen and my mind went blank. Since when does this thing need a password? What the hell am I supposed to do now?The crowd was dead quiet. But that silence felt louder than a plane taking off right next to me.I did not even know what password to try. I had no clue where to start.“Just give me a few seconds…”My voice came out confident at first, then it broke. People were watching. I tried not to let the panic show on my face. I just needed more time. That was all.Then my darling, Marina, stood up from her seat.She walked over to me. I had told everyone she was my co-creator, so it made sense.“Do you know what the password might be?” I asked her.She kept her voice low. “Was there a password before?”“No. I watched Rebecca check it herself. There was nothing.”“Then she is playing you. Right here in front of all these people and everyone watching online. Text her right now. Tell her to send the password.”I had not thought of that at all. Thank God she said

RebeccaIs Luke out of his mind? Calling me up for some password like that? It was embarrassing just watching him.Collins handed over the software without putting up a single fight. Right in front of thousands of people watching. Just let them all see it happen.I grabbed my phone and read through the messages Luke had sent me. How was I supposed to have the password for something I did not even make?Collins was smart. Really smart. He must have built that antivirus so it would need a code to open. But the first time I looked at it, there were no security walls anywhere.My eyes fell closed. I did not even notice I was getting sleepy.I had not thought about how I would sleep. Then my head started tilting to the side and I knew I had to rest it somewhere.Sleeping on an armchair is never good. I tried everything. Putting my forehead on my hands. But my back kept hurting.Then I found a better way. Just letting the back of my head rest against the chair.I checked the time fast. 9:30

LukeI had never been this terrified of walking away from Rebecca. If anything happened to her, every cent I had would disappear straight into charity.I rushed over, unlocked the handcuff from the chair, and carried her to my car."Rebecca! Rebecca!"I called her name again and again, giving her a gentle shake, hoping for some sign that she was coming back to me. Nothing happened. The only proof that she was still alive was the faint rise and fall of her breathing.As I drove out of the compound, my eyes kept darting toward her. I waited for a finger to move, for her eyelids to lift, for any reaction at all. There was nothing.Around twenty minutes later, I arrived at the hospital. Nurses and doctors hurried over and moved Rebecca into the intensive care unit.While I sat outside waiting for news, Marina called."Where are you, darling? You scared me when you left without saying anything.""I am at the hospital.""The hospital?" she asked, startled. "Do not tell me the failed launch

Rachel "Can you repeat what he said?" Dr. Robert asked as we made our way down the corridor. "That he wants someone to take care of his wife?" "Exactly." The doctor nodded. "From everything I have seen, Mr. Luke appears devoted to her." My fingers curled against the folder in my hand. If only you knew. The thought sat heavily in my mind as we walked. Every conversation I had with Luke left a bad taste in my mouth. Something about him felt wrong. Every instinct I had as a nurse, and as a person, kept warning me that Rebecca was not safe around him. I needed to stop whatever he was planning before it was too late. Just before Dr. Robert reached for the door handle, I stopped walking. "Doctor, there is something I need to ask." He looked back at me. "If whoever Luke brings here is going to care for Rebecca, they should sign an undertaking first. If anything happens to her while she is under their care, there should be an investigation." His eyebrows rose. "That is a serious r

CollinsIt looked like a kidnapping situation. I jumped into their car.“Take me there now, without delay!” I slammed the car door shut.“Collins!”My mum and Phillip shouted in unison. I didn't answer. I only turned and stole a glance at them.My mum was gesturing with both hands for me to wait.Phillip was gesturing at me, asking what had happened, and Rachel, the woman I didn't love, burst into tears.She needed to understand one thing: I didn't love her. I watched a bouquet of roses slip from her hands and fall to the ground.The officiant looked equally confused. Situations like this rarely happened during a wedding ceremony.My heart raced with anxiety. What could be wrong with the woman who had saved my life?“What is wrong with her?” My eyes met the young driver's in the rear-view mirror.“The test showed that some blood had entered her brain…”“Brain?” I exclaimed, pausing for a few seconds.“Yes, sir, but there has been improvement.”Out of curiosity, I asked another questio
