Please Give Me Another Chance Mrs Hamilton

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Nadine hadn’t learned until later that Adam had emotionally blackmailed Brad into giving up on his relationship with Jean.

The only reason Brad had shown up at the beach that fateful night five years ago was because he saw no point in living if he could not have Jean.

It was bad enough that he had a heart problem, but to have his beloved sent away by Adam ruined him completely. With neither hope nor ambition to keep him going, his life seemed bleak.

He had been lost in his thoughts when he saw Nadine leap off the cliff and into the ocean.

Nadine’s slender silhouette bore a striking resemblance to Jean’s. At that moment, it wasn’t some strange woman Brad saw falling into the ocean, but Jean.

He jumped in after her without a second thought. From that moment on, he treated Nadine as at replacement for Jean.

Jean’s name was like a curse that shackled Nadine to this loveless marriage.

Nadine couldn’t escape Jean even in her nightmares, for the latter smiled sweetly at her as she purred, ” You’ll always be nothing more than my replacement, Nadine. Now and forever!”

A sharp pain stabbed through Nadine. She bolted upright screaming, drenched in cold sweat.

She reached to turn on the lamp on her nightstand and realized the space next to her was empty.

She brushed her fingers over the sheets where Brad would normally lay. They were icy, with no lingering

trace of warmth that indicated he might have slept here at some point.

Brad had to be sleeping with Jean tonight. Nadine doubted he was coming home.

Nadine was only human, after all. Since the day Brad took her and Sean in, she immersed herself in

playing the role of his dutiful wife and homemaker.

Jean’s return was like a hard slap in Nadine’s face.

Nadine stared out at the rain that fell from the night sky and finally saw through the mask she had put on for the last five years: she was not Brad’s wife.

She was nothing more than a damsel in distress who had been given the chance to play princess for a while, but the magic had long worn off, and it was time for her to snap back to reality.

No matter how much she loved Brad, it was time for her to let him go.

But that was easier said than done. Nadine hadn’t even told him how much she loved him yet.

The heartache that ripped through her cleared her addled mind. Now that she was completely awake, she grabbed her phone and gave Brad a call.
