My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1

On a rainy day in September, drizzle moisturized a mountain town and washed clean the stone streets with a refreshing earthy smell in the air. 

An eighteen-year-old girl was on her way to the principal’s office at the only high school in the town center. 

She dressed austerely, but it did not hide the fact that she was beautiful. However, her emotionless eyes made her look sullen and unapproachable. 

“Mr. Barrett, here comes Nicole.” Class teacher, Ms. Mills, led the way for Nicole. 

Nicole Wallace looked at her with some surprise, wondering why Ms. Mills was suddenly so nice to her. Ms. Mills was someone who placed great importance on family background in the selection of class committee members. 

“Let her in.” The principal was equally excited; even his voice was a little trembling. 

Nicole slowly chuckled as soon as she stepped into the principal’s office. 

It turned out to be because of him. 

On the VIP sofa in the principal’s office sat a tall man, dressed in an expensive suit, looking like a social elite, but his facial features were like hers. 

Nicole was studying the man just as the man was studying her. 

He initially planned to go to the hospital with her for a DNA test, but now it seemed unnecessary. 

She was a dead ringer for her mother with the same fine facial features and fair and delicate skin. Her beauty was hard to conceal, even if she dressed casually. 

Yet the most striking thing was her eyes. 

She was only seventeen or eighteen, but there was a hint of unfathomable iciness in her eyes. 

Seeing him staring at herself, Nicole frowned and asked, “Who are you?” 

She had always known that she was not her grandmother’s biological granddaughter, and she had thought that one day her birth family would come looking for her. 

She thought her biological parents would come. This man was way too young. 

A hint of frustration flashed in the man’s deep-set eyes, and he said, “I am your elder brother.” 

“Nicole, why have you never mentioned to us that your brother is the general manager of the Riddle Corporation in San Joto?” Mr. Barrett could not help but say. 

Nicole rolled her eyes secretly; she had just learned that, for god’s sake. 

Three years ago, her parents had died in a car accident, and only then her grandmother told her the truth — she was adopted by them when she was a child. No wonder her adoptive parents had been so cold to her and left her in the countryside. 

After the death of her adoptive parents, her grandma registered her at the welfare office, waiting for her biological family to come to reunite with her. Nicole did not expect that this day would come, much less her brother was the general manager of Riddle Corporation, a famous name in San Joto. 

“Are you really my brother?” Nicole had a hard time believing such a plot twist.
