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

“Belinda is truly malicious! How could she have pushed Verena down the stairs? Doesn’t she realize she could have killed her?” Ryan fumed, his voice seething with anger.

He had seen it all—the horrifying moment Verena tumbled down the stairs and Belinda’s hand lingered midair. She must have pushed Verena and hadn’t had time to retract her hand at that time.
