Collection-My Husband’s Regret After Discovering I’m A Billionaire Inheritor novel Chapter 30

Chapter2

Last night, I found out that Feryal was returning.

Shayden has always been strict about his routine, going to bed at exactly ten every night. But last night, he broke his habit, staying in the study on the phone until late.

The balcony of our bedroom is adjacent to the study’s, so I quietly cracked the door open to listen.

“Prepare the freshest Juliet roses for me. Have them flown in by tomorrow.“”

Hearing that, my heart swelled with sweetness.

That afternoon, when I excitedly told him

about the meaning of Juliet roses, he seemed indifferent. I thought he was just pretending, trying to keep his surprise for me

a secret.

I rubbed my sore ankle and was about to head to bed when Shayden took another call.

“Feryal, it’s me.”

“Yes, I’ve arranged a welcome party for you tomorrow with your favorite Juliet roses.”

“You don’t have to worry about Phaith. Your return is a rare occasion. Of course, it’s more important than our anniversary. She’ll understand and won’t throw a tantrum.”

The blood in my veins turned cold, inch by inch.

I knew that name all too well.

Feryal–my husband’s ex–girlfriend. The woman he never let go of.

My dear younger sister.

In college, Shayden and Feryal were known as the perfect couple.

When I posted our wedding photos on social media, everyone called me a shameless homewrecker, a despicable third party.

No one knew that Shayden had proposed to me on his own.

Outside on the balcony, his voice suddenly turned sharp.

“Who’s the man with you?”

“An assistant? Feryal, you’re too naïve and

3/10

kind. If you meet someone you like, you must tell me. I’ll help you vet him.”

Three years of memories suddenly felt like the cruelest joke.

He’s married to me, yet he still treats my sister like she’s the center of his world.

And me? I’m the wife he neglects and steps all over. Even our anniversary has to take a backseat to her welcome party!

Shayden, what exactly do you see me as?

If you’ve never had even the slightest feelings for me, why did you propose in the first place?

I’ve loved Shayden for ten years.

When his family business collapsed in high

4/10

school, I stayed by his side.

When his company faced a crisis and Feryal abandoned him to move overseas, I was

there, helping him through his darkest days.

Eventually, he confessed and proposed to

1. me.

I didn’t care if he couldn’t forget Feryal–as long as he had a place for me in his heart, it was enough. I believed I could wait for him to give me his whole heart.

But now, I realize I’ve become a complete fool.

Wiping away my tears, I typed out a message and hit send.

Shayden was furious after I poured a glass of red wine over him.

He gripped my wrist tightly, the pressure making it ache.

“Phaith, how long are you going to keep this up?”

He was trying to intimidate me.

“Divorce isn’t something you just throw around so lightly. Come with me, I’ll take you to the lounge.”

One of his lackeys chimed in with a smug tone: “That’s right, sister–in–law. Everyone knows how much you love the boss. And honestly, if you divorce him, good luck finding someone as outstanding as him.”

“Divorced women don’t exactly have much of a market these days~”

His words were dripping with mockery.

And Shayden, as always, just stood there silently, not defending me at all.

At that moment, I didn’t even have the strength to argue with him.

The boy I once loved so deeply–the one who stood in front of me, shielding me from gossip and rumors–was long gone.

But I couldn’t leave just yet. I was waiting for

someone.

“Sister.”

When Feryal approached me with her graceful steps, Shayden’s tight grip on my wrist loosened. His expression was visibly

tense.

“I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding I caused, sister”

She began wiping the red wine from my hands with a napkin, her motions slow and deliberate, as if she were erasing Shayden’s presence from me.

“This red dress, did your husband pick it out for you? It suits you so well. You two have such a good relationship–why say something as rash as divorce?”

“Exactly, sister–in–law, you should be more understanding~”

Another lackey, a man with a pockmarked face, placed his hand on my shoulder. His presence was nauseating.

I tried to shrug him off, but his grip tightened. I looked at Shayden, pleading

8/10

silently for help.

But his eyes weren’t on me at all. Instead, they were fixed tenderly on Feryal.

The smile I had seen so rarely in three years kept appearing tonight, each instance cutting deeper than the last.

The man’s rough fingers started sliding down my shoulder, and his disgusting voice hissed in my ear: “Sister–in–law, we all know the boss is cold when it comes to… you know. Such a shame, with a body like yours. How about this–divorce him and come with me? I promise you, I’ll make you feel…”

I couldn’t take it anymore. Lifting my heel, I stomped down on his foot with all my strength.

“Aaaahhh!!! My foot, you bitch!”

The pockmarked man shoved me hard, sending me tumbling to the ground. He raised his leg to kick me, but before he could, a shadow stepped in front of me.
