His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock

Belinda shifted her gaze to Holley and nodded in affirmation. “Yes, I blamed you before. You even believed I took Kylee’s necklace.” A bitter chuckle escaped her as she continued, “It’s quite something, isn’t it? My own mother refused to trust me.”

Belinda was deeply hurt by Holley’s lack of trust.

Holley’s face grew anxious when she heard this. “I’m sorry, Belinda. I was misguided then, but I came to realize someone had set you up later.”

“No, Belinda, that’s not the whole truth,” Holley said, shaking her head earnestly. She quickly attempted to clarify, “I was aware you didn’t shove Kylee, but under those circumstances, an apology was necessary to pacify your father. Had you apologized, perhaps you wouldn’t have been beaten up like that. Do you think it didn’t break me to see you in so much pain?”
