Goodbye Cheater Hello CEO’s Wife by Payne Walter

Chapter 32

Gwendolyn loosened her grip in surprise. “Married To Zachary? He finally came around and saw your worth? So this is his place! He’s not living with that annoying sister of his anymore? Questions tumbled out as Gwendolyn tried to make sense of this news

“just let me explain everything, okay! It’s kind of a long story” Isabella said, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket

Gwendolyn nodded, climbed onto the bed, and pulled the blanket over labella. The room felt a little cold, so she covered herself 100. Tmall ears for as long as you need,” she said. “Til call in clear all of my schedule for these days. So go ahead, tell me.”

Isabella recounted the engagement leading up to marrying Clayton. She told Gwendolyn about catching Zachary cheating on her with Scarlett

Gwendolyn fumed, her protective instincts in full force. “If I ever nin into these two snakes…”

“Chen, I was just so stupid the last time, wasn’t Ir Isabella said, leaning her head on her friend’s shoulder.

Gwendolyn’s heart ached for her friend, pulling her into another hug. “Don’t say that. You were just too trusting of him, too quick to think the best of people. Hat that’s okay, you’re a wonderful person. You’ll find someone who truly loves you.” A thought struck her, “Wait, so who did you end up marrying then?” Gwendolyn asked eagerly.

Isabella’s checks reddened, and she kept her gaze down. “It’s the man I randomly asked to get married with.”

Gwendolyn’s eyes went wide. The man you what?”

Isabella nodded. “Well, his name’s Clayton. I registered as his wife as part of the act for Zachary y. But now. I’ve decided to actually start dating him.”

Gwendolyn grasped an important detail. “Hold up. Did you say his name is Clayton?”

“Yes, Clayton Murray, Isabella enunciated clearly. “You met him last night.”

“Oh my!” Gwendolyn slapped a hand over her gaping mouth.

“What? What is it?” Isabella asked, puzzled by her friend’s shocked reaction.

“Clayton Murray! As in, the CEO of Rayson International? Gwendolyn repeated in disbelief.

Isabella jast nocled, “Yeah, it’s him. I went to their office just yesterday, in fact.”

Gwendolyn’s pretty eyes went wide with disbelief. “Your artis

cartially murried Clayton Murray?”

Isabella nodded again, thinking Gwendolyn’s reaction was a little overblown. Yes. I did. What’s the matter?”

Gwendolyn gulped and suddenly reached out to pull Kabella’s blanket, revealing the faint bruises on her skin. “Did Clayton do this to you?”

Isabella blushed, quickly covering herself again,

“Damn it, Clayton. Why did you change me into this skimpy camisole? Also, why was he nibbling on me all night like a starving dog? My body looks like I lost a fight! This is so embarrassing‘ she cursed silently.

Isabella’s silence told Gwendolyn everything she needed to know

Gwendolyn stared at Isabella and muntered. “It can’t be. There’s no other Clayton Murray in Moulmore. It has to be him!”

“What do you mean!” Isabella asked, her eyes widened with confusion. “What’s wrong with him?”

Gwendolyn nodded heavily. “Something seen very off here.”

How?” Isabella implored.

Gwendolyn said with a disdainful look.
