Secret Billionaire’s Contract Bride: Marrying My Enemy’s Lover

Chapter 109

Chapter 108 It had been a full week and she was yet to wake up. I was now in that phase where hope was dwindling. I called in Dr. Nyawatoka from Japan. He was known to be one of the best neurosurgeons in the world and he had offered me the same advice that the rest of these people had. It was all a waiting game. “You need to eat. Damon” Corinna walked in with Daniel behind her. “You’ve been with her all week. You need to get out and breathe some fresh air. It will do you some good to be away from all of this.” “I can’t, what if she wakes up and I’m not here?” I looked at my wife who still had not moved an inch unless it had been me or the nurses who were moving her. “She needs me here.” “Then I’ll be here.” She walked up behind me and patted her hands on my shoulders. “Do this for her, Damon. Daniel can even join you in the cafeteria.” I looked to the door where her boyfriend stood. I had come to like him after he had basically babysat me that time when Adie was in Switzerland. He had been a friend to me even when he didn’t need to be. And though I knew he had been doing it to get some brownie points with my sister-in-law he was still nice company to talk to. “Come on, man. They have decent burgers here too” I looked up at Corinna who smiled back at me. “Go and get some rest time, brother dearest “Okay,” I sighed. They were right, I would be of no use to my wife if I was depleted of energy. She needed me at my best. I got out of my seat and leaned forward to kiss her forehead. Her skin was cool to the touch and her cheeks were still pale in color. There was still brain activity going on in there but she still had not come back to the land of living “I’ll be right back, baby I walked out of the room with Daniel in tow behind me. The entire walk to the cafeteria downstairs was spent in silence. I don’t know if he wanted me to break the ice or maybe he just wasn’t in a speaking mood. But as soon as I exited out of the elevator I came face to face with a man holding a bouquet of flowers and a somber expression. “Gabriel, Daniel piped up, first stepping toward the man who had been a thorn in my side from the moment I learned of his existence. “Strange seeing you here. Are you here to visit someone?” Gabriel’s eyes shifted to me slowly before they moved back to Daniel. “Yeah. I just heard about it today and I was a little shocked to say the least.” “Leave.” I stepped up toward him. “This is a private family matter and you don’t need to be here.” “She’s still my friend.” “And I’m her husband and I am telling you to leave. She doesn’t need your flowers or sympathy.” Gabriel had the

audacity to roll his eyes at me. “I get you may be insecure about your marriage but trust me when I say your wife has made it abundantly clear that she doesn’t want me. But that doesn’t mean that I had stopped caring about her and wanting to wish her well. We work in the same movie for Christ’s sake. We’re all worried about her.” “We’ll take that worry and leave.” I had gotten into it with Angela, the last thing I needed was to get into it with him as well. “I just want to see her.” The nerve of this man. “You don’t need to see her. I can tell you how she is and she’s doing fine, she will be awake soon and you don’t need to worry yourself. So you can just leave and go back to the hole that you crawled out of” Gabriel’s nostrils flared a little. He was getting angry but when the fuck had I cared about that before? He had no right to be here. He may have considered Adie a friend but I was her husband. “Okay,” Daniel interjected, “how about we take this outside? People are beginning to stare and the last thing that we need is another page-six story.” I looked around the area and sure enough there were people staring at us. They had their heads close to each other all whispering underneath their breath. I was about to blow up at them but then I remembered who I was and what I did reflected on my wife. “We can just go our separate ways and call this a day. You don’t need to be around me and my wife. You will see her on set when she’s better.” “Are you for real right now?” Gabriele stood his ground like the arrogant little twat he was “I’m not leaving until I see her for myself. I get you have no real reason to like me. I wanted your wife and if I’m being completely honest I still do but she made it more than clear that she did not want me. She chose you and I respected that but that doesn’t mean that I can just Turn off my emotions for her I was livid Not only did he confess to having feelings for my woman but he has just confessed to not letting her go even though she was married to me. “Tim going to give you ten seconds to get out of my face before I beat your face in 1 know you actors are cautious with your faces. After all, it’s your money maker” Daniel stepped in between us this time and looked at me first “Outside, now.” “Are you serious right now? You’re telling me to leave when he “Both of you.” Daniel held my gaze. “Outside Now” There was no room in his tone for discussion And with the people around us with their phones out I knew that I needed to exit out of here before a new story somehow popped out in the headlines and I had another fire to put out. I nodded my head and walked toward the exit of the hospital with the two men in tow. When we broke past the doors I turned to face Gabriel. I knew that I needed to

have a calmer approach here. I had come out to calm myself and to breathe and the last thing I needed was to become a raging banshee. So I closed my eyes, let out one long winded sigh and turned to Gabriel. “I understand that you are here for her but understand from my point of view. You just came here and professed your romantic feelings to my wife. And now you want me to just say ‘yeah okay buddy you can see my wife whenever and wherever you like?. Not going to happen.” “I get I shouldn’t have said that but I was only trying to be honest. I just want to be there for a friend. She’s nothing more to me than a friend and you can even ask her yourself. She never wanted to get close to me because you were the constant on her mind. She never swayed from you.” “I was never concerned that she did sway from me. It’s not her I’m worried about, it’s you. I just don’t feel comfortable you being around my wife. And I’m hoping that as a man you will respect that.” was silent but I knew that he heard me. But before he could give his response Corinna burst outside, her eyes wi ShevawakeThis content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
