Married a Secret Billionaire
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."

Nicole paled. She knew dealing with Wesley wouldn't be easy.

Wesley's smile turned sinister as he produced a toothpick to clean his teeth, humming a tune.

"You... How much do you need?"

"Not much," Wesley said, grinning. "Just 4,000,000 dollars."

"What?!" Nicole's mind reeled. She had never seen even 40,000 dollars in her life, let alone 4,000,000 dollars. How could she come up with that?

"Are you messing with me?" she asked, tears streaming down her face. "Do you owe money to the bank?"

"It's from loan sharks," Wesley replied nonchalantly. "You know my small business is barely hanging on, so I tried to make some money by gambling. Who knew things would spiral out of control? I thought I could win back what I'd lost. The casino owner introduced me to a loan shark, so I—"

"You bastard!" Nicole was shaking with anger, her tears flowing uncontrollably. "Any normal person would have known it was a trap set by the casino owner. How could you fall for it?"

"Enough, shut up!" Wesley hissed, leaning closer. "It's just 4,000,000 dollars, right? Your little sister has found a rich heir now. As long as she asks, even if it's not 4,000,000 dollars but 40,000,000 dollars, she can get it for me!"

"Don't even think about it! You scum!"

"What did you say?" Wesley raised a brow and smirked darkly. "Darling, allow me to remind you that your husband is in a lot of debt now. The creditors will take your sister away if I fail to repay them!"

"You-"

"Maisie's so pretty, and she's going to be the Bayers' future daughter-in-law! Hah! Those men have never had a taste of a rich man's wife!"

Nicole couldn't take it anymore. With a hysterical scream, she slapped Wesley with all her might.

Wesley seemed prepared as he punched Nicole in the stomach, causing her to crouch down in pain. He then kicked her several times.

"You crazy bitch! How dare you hit me?!" Wesley growled. "I'll be nice this time! Just know that you can't hide! Hah! You care about your sister? That bitch isn't some nice girl, so why do you care? She whored herself to Quimby, after all!"

"Shut up!" Nicole cried despite her pain.

"Right, she has lost her memory now!" Wesley sneered. "She doesn't remember the past, but I can remind her! I can ask her what she feels when she was played like a fool by Daniel and used his money to support your family. Oh, and that child-wasn't it formed already? What did she feel when it was aborted? Hahaha!"

"No!" Nicole despaired as she begged him on her knees.

She didn't want Maisie to remember the past or to return to that nightmare.

Wesley and Daniel were devils. Wesley was just a physical tormentor, but Daniel had shattered Maisie's heart.

"Please... don't go to Maisie." Nicole clutched his pant leg and pleaded tremblingly, "I promise I'll find a way to clear your debts!"

"That's the spirit, my good wife!" Wesley twisted her face with a cruel grip. "Behave and don't try to outsmart me. Those debt collectors are already in Centrolis. If you dare defy me, I'll hand you over to them and let them find Maisie! You and your sister can enjoy yourselves!"
