Chapter 10
Valerie was totally caught off guard. She had been up to her neck these days andpletely forgot
she was married to Matthew. But to think about it, she only married that gay to appease Julian and
his wife, and also, she needed someone she could rely on since she was pregnant. But after they
got registered, the reality of the situation had just slipped her mind. So when he came to her with
these domestic ns, Valerie felt a heavy pang of
??? Dops, I was so selfish and totally ignored him. He, on the other hand, bought an apartment and
nned to live with me. He’s a good man,
makes me feel worse, Valerie thought.
and
“Well, Mr. Grant, I was going to talk to you about this,” she said, inhaling deeply. “You don’t have to
do this rause I won’t he bugging you soon. It’ll be even better if we can go on living our own lives. If
it bothers you so much, we can get a divorce after a few months.”
I just need some support during the pregnancy. Plus, I don’t have to marry the man Mom forced me
to marry now. I’ve thought about it. When the due date is around theer, I will divorce him and
tell Julian it doesn’t work out. He will buy the story, Valerie thought to herself
Upon hearing what she said. Matthew grabbed her shoulders and leaned in towards her. Valerie
was caughtpletely off guard. His tall frame cast a looming shadow over her petite 34” stature,
making her feel uncharacteristically small and delicate,
He leaned to her and whispered in her ear, his voice cold and authoritative. Let me make this very
clear to you. We are married, and you are obligated to fulfill your duties as my wife. You will not be
getting a divorce unless I explicitly agree to it. And even if I do, I will not be giving up a single dime
of what is rightfully mine. This situation is a bit moreplicated than you seem to think. The world
doesn’t always bend to your will”
Valerie feit devastated as Matthew’s words hit her. Stunned, she realized she had underestimated
him and messed with the wrong guy.

More importantly, Matthew had just threatened to take everything that was his if they got a divorce.
Valerie’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but think in fear, “Thank god I didn’t tell him about
the baby. What if he finds out and wants to take my baby away!!
“Look, I’m not about to waste my life with someone I don’t love. So if I still feel nothing for you after
six months, Fm divorcing you for sure. But in the meantime, you better be a damn good wife. And
if I ever catch you stepping out on me, you’re gonna be sorry.” Matthew dered, his eyes
narrowing with suspicion.
In his mind. Matthew was utterly convinced that a gold digger like Valerie was just biding her time,
waiting for the chance to leave him for a richer
prospect
He loosened his tie with his slender, bony fingers and gazed at her absentmindedly. He was never
a good guy, and he hated being threatened. The fact that Valerie had essentially forced him into this
marriage, and then was bold enough as to block him on WhatsApp, had only served to stoke the
mes of his rage.
Okay, so she’s ying some kind of game here. Well, two can y at that. It’s been a while since
I’ve had this much fun. Just wait until she can’t keep up the charade anymore – that’s when I’ll drop
the bomb and tell her Fm the president of the Grant Group. Can’t wait to see the look on her face,
Matthew thought, a surprising expectation coursing through him
He thought Valerie would be infuriated after hearing his words, but to his surprise, Valerie seemed
pretty damn relieved about the whole thing. At this time, she was over there, thinking to herself,
“Well, I’m already a month pregnant. In half a year, the baby will be seven months old. As long as 1
can keep this belly of mine under wraps, he’ll be none the wiser about the little one!
