Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 2209

He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home.

He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time.

Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice.

With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day.

Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject the Houston's proposal, which made it easy for Decker to swoop in and take her hand.

The only hiccup in his plans was Isabel's sudden intrusion during the day of the engagement ceremony. When she caused a scene and got herself thrown out, Decker had to admit that it made his heart ache, but he still toughed

through it and resisted the urge to help her then. It was only after the ceremony had come to a close and all the guests had dispersed that he found the time to head home.

He wanted to impose his authority on her so she would not rebel against him again in the future. Without sparing the time to clarify the situation, he struck her across the face to establish his position of power. He thought this would make her more cautious going forward.

His plans ended up backfiring on him. The next time he went home, she was already gone.
