Destined To Love Her (Astrid and Blaze) novel Chapter 1

"Mrs. Graves, your legs are recovering. Congratulations, you can stand up recently."

After leaving the hospital, Astrid Graves still couldn't calm down from the great joy. She could finally be a normal wife and have her husband Blaze Cohen's kids.

She took her phone out and wanted to share the happy news with her husband but received a provoking message.

"Astrid, when will you agree to get a divorce? You know Blaze loves me." It's from Althea, her husband's true love, again. The next second, a picture popped out showing her husband in a hotel with a hot woman. "He's with me now and won't go home tonight."

Astrid's heart ached. She didn't know how many times she had received Althea's messages since Blaze's grandpa Baxter passed away three days ago.

Yesterday, she slept with Blaze by accident and she thought their relationship could improve after that. At least like a common couple. Now she was like a joke.

Mute her phone, Astrid moved her wheelchair home alone in the rain. When she came back, it was all dark outside. Three years ago, an accident happened when Astrid was on a secret mission. She almost died but Blaze saved her. Although, she survived it, she was paralysed from the waist down.

However, Baxter liked her no matter how, so in the end she married Blaze at the request of Baxter, but nobody knew she agreed because she loved Blaze in secret.

They had been married for three years, and she played the role of a good wife. Except, Blaze never laid eyes on her and kept messing around with Althea. "What's the meaning of this?" she thought.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?" Astrid was taken aback by the voice she was so familiar with.

Blaze came home? Wasn't he with Althea? He turned the lights on while going into the living room.

Astrid didn't answer him. She moved her wheelchair to the kitchen, but smelled strong alcohol when passing by Blaze. "You drink. What's wrong?" She couldn't help but care about him.

"I was forced to marry you. You know that. And Grandpa passed away now," Blaze said in a cold and impatient tone.

Astrid got his meaning immediately. She was a gold digger in his eyes and he hated her. If it weren't for her, he would have married Althea and had their own children. Now no one could prevent him from divorcing her and marrying Althea.

Astrid's eyes were sore when she thought of divorce. She didn't want it. "I know. But I haven't eaten anything. Can we talk after dinner."

Blaze paused when he heard her voice become hoarse, but he insisted. "No need. I'll leave after you sign the divorce agreement." Then he threw two files on the table. He felt somewhat fretful and loosened his tie.

"I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I'll compensate. 100 million and this villa is for you. I'll let someone transfer it to your name today."

Blaze wore an indifferent face. He was leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed. The high-end suit made him very handsome and graceful.

The Cohen family was a wealthy family which had existed for many years. It possessed great wealth and had businesses all over the place, involving all kinds of industries.
