What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 364

For the past six months, she had exhausted every trick in the book, slowly and methodically wedging herself between Finnian and Kaia.

When he had chased after her onto that cruise ship, Noelle thought victory was entirely within her grasp.

When he followed her to the temple, she felt certain of his feelings.

So why, just when she thought she had finally secured her happily-ever-after, had he run right back to his wife?

Had all her careful maneuvering been for nothing?

At that moment, a memory surfaced in Noelle's mind. It was her eighteenth birthday. After blowing out her candles, she had turned to Finnian and whispered, "If I ever go far away, will you come find me?"

He had smiled and nodded. "Of course I will."

A bitter smile touched her lips. The man who had once chosen her without hesitation had ultimately buckled under the weight of his family's expectations and public scrutiny, choosing his domestic life instead.

Pushing the thought aside, Noelle rested a hand flat against her stomach. It was still perfectly smooth.

But soon, two new lives would be growing inside her. This time, Noelle had charted her own course. These unborn children, carrying the Sanders bloodline, would be her ultimate leverage.

Noelle tossed and turned that night, plagued by a nightmare.

In the dream, she opened her laptop to find a company-wide email from the board. It was a formal termination notice, permanently dismissing her from her role at Aethelstan...

"No!" Noelle jolted awake with a scream, her body slick with cold sweat. Gasping for air, she stared out the window, realizing it had only been a dream.

But the sheer terror of it had felt all too real.

The next morning in New Zealand.

Kaia stepped out of her suite just in time to see Finnian walking down the hall, carrying Brynlee in his arms.
