More Than His Soulmate

I stared at Wayne, a tightness seizing my chest. We had been married for two years. I had pulled strings with my family to get him promoted from a junior position all the way to Vice President.

Even when doctors had warned me about my poor health, I was determined to give him a child. How could he do this to me?

I pressed a hand to my belly, my eyes locked on his. "You're coming home with me right now, or you're staying here with your soulmate. Make a choice."

He could continue to be the son-in-law of the Prescott family. How hard could that choice be?

Just as Wayne reluctantly started walking toward me, Sloane deliberately pressed her chest closer to him. Then she grabbed him by the collar and rolled her eyes. "My God. Why are wives always so controlling?"

"If I had actually wanted to marry you, do you think that baby in her belly would even exist? I'll give you five minutes to handle this. If you don't, our friendship is over."

The others looked at me with disdain, muttering, "This is why you don't bring outsiders into the group."

"Honestly, I wouldn't blame Wayne if he actually got together with Sloane."

"Yeah. If Sloane didn't hate the idea of being tied down by marriage, this woman would've never had a chance."

"So what if she's pregnant? Does she think she's some queen who can control who Wayne is friends with?"

"She has no idea how hard it's been for Wayne while she's been pregnant. Good thing Sloane's been around to help him blow off some steam."

I stared at them, feeling like a complete fool. All of them knew what was going on between Sloane and Wayne. And I, his wife, was the only one clueless enough to be kept in the dark.

Before they could continue, Wayne spoke up. "That's enough. Cora is my wife. I know what I stand to lose if I betray her."

With that, he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around Sloane. Then, he took my hand and said, "Didn't you want to go home? Let's go back now, okay?"

Sloane glared at him, annoyed. "I knew it. You're totally whipped. Fine! Don't come looking for me ever again!"

Wayne didn't spare her another glance. Instead, he walked me to the car. I thought he had finally come to his senses. After all, a soulmate was nothing compared to my fortune.

However, the moment I stepped inside the house, he slammed the door shut and locked me in from the outside.
