Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1602

"Maisie, are you there?"

Maisie's attention snapped back, and she was ready to reply when she suddenly heard a woman's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Are you still having coffee, Graham?" the woman asked.

"Yes, Lisa?" Graham replied.

"I need you to sign some documents."

With a smile, Graham agreed and promptly ended the call.

Disappointment washed over Maisie, leaving her with a sense of emptiness. Her heart raced, and an indescribable unease settled in.

She couldn't help but start overthinking. Who was this woman, and why did Graham readily comply with her request? Did their extensive time together lead to different feelings? His indifference to her just now, not even saying goodbye, troubled her.

Maisie leaned against the bed, her thoughts in turmoil, and her gaze fell on a small teddy bear. She smiled helplessly, picked up the bear, hugged it, and lay down with tired eyes.

Nicole had been in Centrolis for over a week. During this time, her husband, Wesley Mebane, hadn't contacted her at all. Although she still felt anxious, at least she was free from his domestic abuse, making life somewhat more comfortable.

One day, as Maisie left for work, Nicole took out the trash. On her way back, someone leaped out from a corner, catching her by surprise.

Nicole struggled but was overpowered and dragged into a quiet spot. She managed to break free, only to find herself face to face with someone she never wanted to see again.

"Wesley? You..."

Wesley grinned maliciously, his eyes cold and calculating. He looked disheveled, with dirty, unwashed clothes and a foul odor. His hair seemed untouched for a long time.

Nicole moved away timidly, but Wesley grabbed her hair and slammed her against the wall, leaving her almost paralyzed on the ground.

"What? Did you think I wouldn't find you here?" Wesley sneered cruelly. "Nicole, you really think I'm a pushover?"

His hand went up.

Terrified and instinctively reacting, Nicole let out a sharp scream.

Wesley quickly covered her mouth. "Don't scream! I don't want trouble. You just want a divorce, right? If you cooperate, I'll sign the divorce papers right away."

"What?" Nicole trembled, biting her lip. "Y-You agree to a divorce?"

"Of course, on the condition that you help me clear my debts."
