Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

His wife.

(ARIELLE'S POV)

My face fell as I scanned the empty space, realising that Jared and Sofia had gone in without me. I didn't have a problem with Sofia, but I did have one with Jared.

I was his wife, and weren't couple's supposed to arrive at an event together? Hesitating for a moment, I contemplated going in on my own or calling Jared to come lead me inside.

I felt really nervous walking into the bar without Jared, because despite being his wife for three years, I had never met his classmates and friends, mainly because I was busy with work, or an opportunity never presented itself.

After a few seconds of indecisiveness, I decided to walk in alone. I took a deep breath, smoothed my dress, squared my shoulders and made for the entrance door.

As I pushed open the door, the sounds of laughter and banter welcomed me, and I was immediately hit by the smell of expensive perfumes and alcohol.

Woa! This was definitely a reunion for people that matters, I decided. I scanned the room, my eyes adjusting to the surroundings. And that was when I spotted them-Sofia and Jared.

They were standing by the bar, laughing and chatting with a group of people I presumed were friends. My heart squeezed painfully as I watched how Jared laughed and spoke carefree, making me wonder if he even remembered he came with a wife. Did he even notice my absence?

I scoffed, of course not. Sofia was beside him, playing out the role perfectly as she held onto him, smiling and waving at everyone that stopped to greet them.

My heart churned painfully at the sight and I quickly averted my gaze. I forced a smile on my face as I turned to make my way to the rows of seats at a corner.
