OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 153 – I never intended to marry you
Chapter 153: Chapter 153 – I never intended to marry you
Violet smiled imperceptibly. Men like this were an eyesore to her. "You think you can mistreat my fellow woman and have me applaud your stupidity?"
"What are you talking about?" Bennet asked, helpless and confused as Violet revealed,
"I never intended to marry you. I only had you deposit that money to give to your wife, and I’m going to make her press charges for rape and assault."
Bennet’s hopes died as shock spiraled through him. Everything was perfect before but was suddenly turning against him.
One thing was clear. Violet had been in touch with Sadie, and hence the strange behaviors she was putting up, but how was that possible? He couldn’t imagine it.
"You mean you knew it all along?" Something broke inside of him, but Violet smiled and spoke in a warning tone.
"Next time you have a woman, treat her right, and you won’t lose everything." After that, she left him with the lawyer and bodyguard she contracted for Sadie.
Almost reaching the car, Sadie caught up to her. "You are one of a kind, and I will never forget what you have done for me."
She knew that a woman like Violet was rare and somehow, she wished to be like her but lacked the words and courage to express it.
Violet smiled at her, patting her lovingly on the shoulder. "Be strong and learn to stand up for yourself. I hope you will be able to do something meaningful with your life from all that you have earned and learned so far."
Sadie was nodding eagerly. This was her only chance to change her life completely. "Yes. I will pick my life back up again," she said seriously when Violet remembered and requested her bank account number.
After transferring the money, Sadie was left dumbfounded. "I’ve never seen so much money in my life."
Violet froze at her words and advised her seriously. "If you need a financial adviser, I can get you one, but don’t you dare waste this money, do you understand?"
Sadie nodded helplessly and asked her. "Can’t you be my financial advisor? I can pay you." The only person she could trust at the moment was Violet, and hence her fears.
Violet was honest with her. "I have financial advisors too."
In other words, she wasn’t one and also relied on somebody else, but Sadie was still grateful for everything she had done for her.
"Thank you very much. For the first time in a long time, I will sleep with my eyes closed."
Sorrow flashed in Violet’s eyes, but she blinked, and it was gone. "Stay strong and make the right decisions in the future."
After everything was over, Violet sat in the back seat with Joanna, feeling depressed.
"Why am I so unlucky with men?" She asked out of the blue as Alex stepped on the accelerator, and Joanna felt lost.
In a sense, the only jerk she ever dated was Logan, and he was equally Violet’s ex, so indeed, the girl had met a lot of assholes.
"Some people only meet the wrong people before meeting the right ones," Joanna encouraged her, but Violet shook her head. Her destiny seemed to be set in stone, and she was not sure she could trust any other man.
"I owe Aiden a drink. Alex, can you call him, please?" It was funny how they never exchanged contact, but indeed, Aiden’s revelation had saved her from the mistake of her life.
However, she was saddened by Alex’s response. "If you must, I can give you Aiden’s number, but he’s taking care of business in New Orleans."
It was just a few hours’ flight time, but Violet felt like Aiden was so far away and somehow felt it was because of her due to his last words. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Do you want his number?" Alex asked, knowing that Aiden wouldn’t mind, but Violet shook her head. She had seen a lot of assholes, and perhaps, connecting with Aiden again might cause her more hurt.
"No. Just thank him for me. For the information, I mean."
Alex smiled bitterly, not understanding why both Violet and Aiden were so stubborn. It was clear how they both felt attracted to each other, but it was understandable how they wanted to be away from each other.
Aiden had done a lot of horrible things because of jealousy, making it hard to make it up to Violet.
"So, are you going to explore anymore?" Joanna asked teasingly, trying to loosen the tensed atmosphere, but Violet smiled bitterly.
"I’m so tired of men. I’ve been able to live without sex for almost a month. Let’s see how far I can go with it. No more one-night stands, and no more men. It’s just me now, so let me see how far this shit would take me."
Joanna liked the new comeback and encouraged her. "If you want to go out or anything, I’m always around. Alex is always busy, though, and you already know this marriage is fake."
At the driver seat, Alex stiffened slightly, but it was the truth. After dropping both women at their offices, he went back to his and informed Aiden about the turnout of events.
It made Aiden happy that Violet wasn’t married, but when asked the question. "Will you try again?" He was saddened, feeling like he already blew his chances.
"No. It’s better this way. I never should have gotten emotionally attached, and I might just mess up her life once again. I hope that she finds a better person deserving of her."
Sometimes in life, to love means putting the other party’s happiness first, even if it means letting them go. That was exactly how Aiden was feeling.
A month passed like the wind, and Joanna never heard from her father. She visited her mother with Alex a couple of times and the woman was very happy.
Both companies were thriving and though knowing it was because of Alex, Joan was still happy because she chose him and not the other way around.
Alex had come to pick her up from the office like always, but Joanna saw that something bothered him. "You don’t look alright."
Alex stared at her, not knowing how to divulge the information.
