Chapter 64 – Mystery behind her
Jonathan read and re-read the letter. However, the more he read it, the more he felt the Liliana he was working with was his wife.
If she was, then were the twins his? Is that why she had come to his office seven years ago?
He shook off his thoughts once again. Even if she was, since she did not say anything, he could not corner her just like that. It was his fault, after all.
He was the one who wronged her first. He never gave their marriage a fighting chance. She should not have to sacrifice her dignity and wait for him to change his mind while suffering from all the schemes and injustice.
He looked at the divorce agreement and was startled to see the compensation. Why was he receiving so much compensation from her?
Wasn’t it always the richer party who gave the compensation? Did this mean that she was richer than him? How could that be possible?
Anyhow, he was not going to sign it. There were many things between them that he wanted to sort out and apologize for.
He wondered what was the relationship between her and the Jacobsens.
More importantly, he was struck by her name. Only idiots would not know Petrovas in the P city.
If she was a Petrova, then she was royalty.
How could the measly Aprice family contain a royalty, even if they were former royalty?
He thought back on what Lester Aprice said of her and her mother. An escort who had drugged him and slept with him for money?
What was that about?Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
If his wife’s mother was a Petrova, it would be Lester Aprice who would have seduced and tricked her, not the other way around.
What was all the mystery about?
He had promised Liliana that he would stay neutral with her feud with Aprice family. He meant to keep that promise. But that did not mean he was not going to find the truth, even partial truth for himself.
He resealed the envelope, made the bed, and drove to his grandmother’s place.
He was never close to his family. His grandmother had forced his parents to have a child, and he was that product.
There was no love, no family bond between them. They needed an heir for the Smith Group and so they had him and trained him.
It was that simple.
That was also the reason he had wanted to commit suicide at 13. He wanted to deprive his family of their so-called heir. But he has changed his mind thinking it would be such a waste as his parents were still young and could have had another child. He had meant to postpone his plan but ran into Liliana who changed the course of his life.
That was also he had never for a second considered that the woman they were forcing him to marry could be the one he had wanted to marry all along.
Nonetheless, he ought to get some answers from his grandmother. She was old but still very sharp and had only one weakness.
