Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 358

But he'd forgotten something.

Men and women didn't think the same way.

Women wanted honesty, loyalty, reassurance.

And he'd been so focused on spoiling Maeve—money, protection, comfort—that he'd never once offered her the story of who he used to be.

"About that relationship I had—"

Andres was about to confess when Maeve pressed a finger to his lips.

"You're misunderstanding. I'm not interested in your love life before me."

"The reason I said everyone has a past is because something happened earlier that made me miserable."

"You know Aethelburg isn't my home turf. I don't feel like I belong in this city."

"A year ago, I chose to settle here for… personal reasons."

Since Andres was the man beside her in bed—and the one acting as her shield against that terrifying lightning curse—Maeve decided there were things he needed to know.

"I might do some crazy things soon. I'm giving you a heads-up so you don't get caught in the crossfire."

"There's someone here I intend to destroy. In the end, there are only two possible outcomes."

A predatory chill settled in Maeve's eyes, her smile thinning into something dangerous and sharp.

"Outcome one: I die."

"Outcome two: they die."

The hatred in her voice was so dense it felt physical.

In all the time they'd known each other, this was the first time Andres had heard her talk about her own business—her own darkness.

"So you came to Aethelburg… not to deal with the Morales family?"

Maeve gave a cold laugh. "The Morales family? Those trash bags aren't even worth it."

Andres tested the ground carefully. "Can you tell me who your enemy is?"

In that moment, he meant it.

Maeve smiled—bright, dazzling.

She threw her arms around his neck and jumped into his lap, wrapping her long legs around his waist.

"Whitty. The only way you can help me right now is to get me pregnant as soon as possible."

In a blink, the avenging goddess turned into a temptress.

Andres, still caught in the intensity of her revenge talk, looked almost stunned.

His arms tightened on instinct, pinning her against him.

"Even now, you're still desperate to have a baby… just to get rid of me?"

Maeve leaned in and murmured into his ear, her voice soft as breath.

"If The Binding doesn't break soon… I'm scared that when I die, I'll drag you into hell with me."
