Marrying a Criminal Boss When My Husband Betrayed Me Novel – “We’re already divorced.” A month earlier, she was eight months pregnant. She was kidnapped on the way to her prenatal checkup. Her clothes were stripped off and she was forced to pose for videos that were then posted online for others to watch. She managed to escape with great effort. But at the warehouse entrance, she saw Brandon and his best friend having a conversation. “Brandon, you had your people kidnap your wife and posted all her photos online.
How is she supposed to live her life now?” With a cigarette between his fingers, Brandon frowned and said, “Leona is back. I love her, but Lauren is my wife. Without a good reason, both of our family won’t agree to a divorce.” At that moment, Lauren realized that the man she had cared for over the past three years still harbored feelings for his first love, Leona. Later, Brandon pretended to rescue Lauren. She was unconscious for an entire week.
When she woke up, her baby was gone. Outside the door, she heard Brandon’s friend said with confused tone, “Brandon, the baby was alive. Why did you throw her away? She’s your own flesh and blood!” But Brandon replied coldly, “Leona promised to give me a child, so Lauren’s baby cannot be kept.” Hearing the man’s heartless words, Lauren felt as though she had fallen into an ice cave, her heart growing colder by the second.
From then on, she made three decisions: First, to contact the local orphanage in secret to find her baby. Second, to divorce Brandon without him knowing. Third, to contact the gangster boss who had been secretly in love with her for seven years, agreeing to marry him on the condition that he help her seek revenge. —— As her thoughts returned, Lauren reminded Tania, “I’m still at the Muller Family’s house and can’t move around freely, so can you help me find my baby?” Tania answered, “No worries, I’ll handle it.
Oh, anyway, does Brandon know about signing the divorce agreement?” Lauren sneered, recalling how Brandon had rushed out this morning only to meet Leona, so Lauren had taken the opportunity to hand him the divorce agreement. “He was only focus on Leona. He didn’t even bother to read the contents of my contract—he just signed it.” Tania mused, “Yeah, better that way. If he finds out and goes crazy, that will be new problem.” They had lunch together and Lauren didn’t return home until evening.
As she entered the house and passed by the study, she saw the door half-open. Leona was sitting on Brandon’s lap with her arms around his neck. “Brandon, if I hadn’t left back then, would you still marry Lauren?” Brandon didn’t hesitate for a moment, then replying firmly, “Of course, no. I’ve always loved you. Lauren was just a substitute. If it weren’t for her eyebrows and eyes resembling yours, I wouldn’t have been with her.” Outside the door, Lauren heard Brandon’s words and felt a dull pain in her chest.
Leona was her younger sister, the true heiress of the Saunders Family, while she was only the adopted daughter in that family. Three years ago, on the eve of Leona and Brandon’s engagement, Brandon was involved in a car accident. Leona hurriedly left the country in the middle of that night, leaving Brandon alone at the engagement banquet. The once-promising young man had become disabled. Surely all the noble ladies avoided him. But then came Lauren who stepped forward and firmly said, “Brandon, I like you.
Will you marry me?” Brandon agreed, and Lauren, who have secretly loved him for years, finally married him. Over the past three years, she had studied various medical techniques, even using herself as a live experiment to find the best method to help Brandon regain the use of his legs and stand up again. Numerous renowned doctors internationally have declared that Brandon would remain disabled for life, but Lauren refused to give up.
To learn acupuncture from a reclusive traditional medicine practitioner, she knelt at the door for three days and nights, nearly risking her life. She even gave up on a gangster boss who had pursued her for four years only for Brandon’s sake. Her once-delicate fingers became rough and calloused from soaking in herbs. Every time it rained, Brandon’s wounds would ache unbearably and he would become irritable, but Lauren never complained once. Gradually, Brandon began to show concern for her.
Lauren cured his legs and they even had a child. But two months ago, Leona returned. Everything shattered. Lauren thought at least they loved each other, but only to realize it was only delusion. She turned away from the door and dragged her heavy footsteps upstairs. She told herself to wait another week. Then after a week, the gangster boss, Marvin Gallagher, would come to take her away. As night fell, Lauren was just about to fall asleep when Brandon pushed open the door and entered. Without caring whether Lauren was asleep, he turned on the light and asked, “When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?” Lauren didn’t open her eyes, no
