Secret Billionaire’s Contract Bride: Marrying My Enemy’s Lover

Chapter 83

I had been out of sorts all day. I had to continuously remind myself of where I was and the job I was currently doing

The phone call with Angela had ranled me. I hated to admit it but it did. That was my husband’s personal phone and she had it in her hands.

1 had wanted to text him but I was worried that she still had it. I had to resort to texting my sister who had to calm me off the ledge I had perched myself on. I wanted to confront my husband but decided against it. After all, there was no point in starting a fight now when I was all the way across the world. This would be a conversation that we would have face-to-face.

I didn’t want us to have a repeat of what happened when he went to Vegas arud I was left distraught and anxious. That had been the biggest slump in our relationship. I didn’t want us to go back there.

But in bottling up my feelings, I was snapping at people who didn’t deserve it and I was nearing tears as the day wore on. In short, I was a nightmare and I hadn’t even intended to be one.

1 had just gotten into my trailer after a long day of shooting when the floodgates decided it was the perfect time to burst open.

My back pressed against the wall and I slid down toward the floor. I drew my legs to my chest and let the silent tears fall. I wasn’t sad. I knew that much. The emotion that was pushing all of this forward was my anger. My deep seeded anger Toward this woman who was trying to take my man.

This was just the way my body chose to release the pent-up tension-with tears.

At least I wasn’t smashing things like a raging lunatic.

A knock came at my door and at first I ignored it but then I heard his voice.

“Adelaide,” Gabriel’s voice reached my ears. “I saw you go in so you can either let me in or I will just wait and stand here in the cold night.”

1 got to my feet and quickly wiped away the stray tears.

Weakly I nodded.
