She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife (Natasha and Chase) novel Chapter 137

(Chase)

Two in the morning is a stupid time to be reading anything.

Two a.m. is the time when nothing on a screen is the size it actually is.

The stakes inflate.

The threats get teeth.

A perfectly reasonable contract clause looks, at two a.m., like the end of your life's work.

I should have known better than to open a message from Sonia at two a.m.

I’ve read it four times. I’m about to read it again.

Chase,

I know I'm the last person you want to hear from.

I'm not asking for anything.

I've left the country and I wanted to say goodbye properly.

And there’s something I think you should know.

Nathanial has been obsessed with your wife for months.

I don't say that lightly. Betraying my brother is a heavy burden to bear.

But I have watched him with her, and I know my brother, and there is something between them you have not been told about.

He has been in her office at all hours.

They are far closer than you know.

The genetic markers and resemblance he shares with Lily should concern you.

I have my suspicions. I think you should ask him directly. Or ask her. Or perhaps just look at the medical proof.

I am sorry about everything. I really am.

Take care of yourself, Chase.

I will always love you.

Sonia

I put the phone face-down on the bedside table.

Then pick it back up.

Sonia can’t be trusted.

Anything Sonia says about anyone is a thing Sonia is saying for a reason.

I’ve spent enough time around her now to know that the reason is always one that serves Sonia.

I know all of this.

I know there’s a million reasons to dismiss this for what it is.

A blatant attempt to upset me. Discredit Natasha and for some reason hurt Nathaniel.

But.

My bin is full to overflowing with the flowers I tried to stuff in there.

No matter how hard I tried to push them down, there were just too many of the damn things to fit.
