Entwined Destinies: Captured Hearts

Chapter 209 Be His Lover

This person is Jolene Harris. She spoke directly at that time, “If you need money, I can give it to you but you need to do me a favour.”Victoria was stunned and thought she was insane. They had never met before but she offered her money. She thought she was making fun of her, hence, she said sternly, “I don’t know you, please leave.”Jolene didn’t get angry, instead, she had her assistant gave out a name card. “Call me if you need me.” And she left. A group of people came and took Victoria away after that. They warned to imprisoned Victoria if Victoria failed to come out with the money within three days. Victoria had never worried about money when her father was still alive, she didn’t have many friends either, Nathan was her only support apart from family members. Even Nathan was not around anymore now, her life collapsed within a night. She couldn’t come out with the money, so on the third day, she dialled the number given by Jolene. Victoria promised to help her but she needed money. Jolene transferred the amount to her that night, Victoria was released and they compensated the problematic fabric loss to the buyer too. Jolene visited again after the dust was settled. Victoria asked, “What do you need me to do for you?”Jolene didn’t say directly but handed her a photo of Jayden and asked, “Do you think he’s handsome?”Victoria looked at the man in the photo and was stunned by the distinctive features and the handsome looking face, he was in full suit and was getting down from a car, it seemed to be a picture taken without him knowing. Jolene smiled, “He is my husband, I had someone took this picture secretly.”Victoria puzzled, “Why did you show me your husband’s picture?”Jolene then stared at Victoria for a moment and said, “I want you to be his lover.”Victoria felt like lightning stroke her, she stayed frozen and couldn’t utter a word. Did she misheard or she misspoken? Getting the husband a lover? This was the funniest line she had ever heard in her entire life. However, Jolene said calmly, “You haven’t misheard, I want you to be her lover and give birth to a baby.””Is Jolene infertile?” Dolores frowned, who would find a lover for her own husband? Had she gone mad? Dolores didn’t get it.”I thought the same initially, she found her husband a woman to give birth to a child due to infertility, but it was not. She was healthy and I remembered she was pregnant when Matthew was seven and gave birth to a baby when Matthew turned eight.”God, which means Matthew had siblings?”Where is the child?” Dolores asked.”I don’t know, I’ve never met the child. I learnt that she passed away and never seen her again, I don’t know the child’s whereabouts too,” Victoria answered honestly. It was not long after she died, Jayden officially married Victoria. Victoria made a promise and took the money, so she had to leave with Jolene. In fact the real reason was the disappearance of Nathan. The incident that hit the Forbis lasted for a month, the man that promised her love, protection and eternity disappeared from her life when she was in trouble. She was depressed and hopeless hence, left with Jolene. When they arrived in City B, Jolene arranged her a well-equipped house with servants. Jolene concerned about her too, she visited frequently to ensure she adapted well. She was a nice person and treated Victoria nicely too. Victoria didn’t understand why she chose her.”Why me? That was a huge amount and your husband is a successful person…””You’re worth it.” She interrupted Victoria, “I’ve searched a lot, but none were pretty and resilient at the

same time.”?w?.??v???h???.???She met a few women that day but not satisfied. She then saw Victoria came out from the White family while she was on her way back. It was a hot day, her cheeks were reddened and were sweating all over her face.??(w).N?v???H???.?o?”This is Ms Forbis, the one that makes gambiered silk.” The driver explained seeing Jolene’s sight locked on Victoria.”The Forbis family that is involved in problematic fabric issues and forced to compensate the buyer?” Jolene asked. The driver nodded. “Yes, she is engaged to the White but perhaps it’s blown off now.”Even the driver noticed that the White family didn’t help the Forbis, not to mention the intelligence Jolene, she could tell instantly that Victoria was rejected by the White family. Because Victoria looked desperate, lonely and disappointed. Even if she had received multiple hits, but she was still standing straight. This was a strong resilient woman. Hence, she visited Victoria during her weakest time and stretched out helping arms. That was how Victoria came to meet Jolene. Victoria didn’t understand Jolene, she was like a puzzle and she asked the same question as Dolores, “Why would you find a woman to give birth to your husband’s baby, was it because of your health? Are you infertile?”Jolene didn’t reply and said, “I’ll have someone pick you up tonight.” And she left. It made Victoria nervous, she knew what she meant by that. She was like a collapsing mountain fell sitting on the floor. Like a puppet without a soul, lonely and helpless. The maid came to hold her up, “Madame said to bath and change you.”It was like a dream throughout the process, she didn’t even know how she arrived at the Nelson until Jolene appeared and brought her back to reality.???.(n)o?????o?e.c??Jolene stood in front of the couch in the living room, “Second floor, the first room to the right, lay on the bed and keep the light off.”Victoria felt humiliated, her hands hidden under the sleeves trembled nonstop and the nails that stuck into her palms were numb. Jolene noticed her rejection and humiliation.”You promised me, I hope you will keep your words, don’t disappoint me.” She walked away after that. It was only Victoria in the huge room, it was warm but she felt cold. She felt like a sharp knife pierced through her heart, every breath was painful. Every step she took was as heavy as a mountain. She opened the door of the first room on the right on the second floor, it was dark, she didn’t turn on the light but walked to the bed under the moonlight. The bed was huge and soft, the room smelled good. It was a room deliberately set up to have romantic ambient for a couple. But she felt sarcastic instead, her lover disappeared when she needed him the most. And she was here, in a stranger’s room as a gift from a woman to her husband. How sarcastic? How unthinkable???W.???l??ome.(c)??Jolene didn’t leave the villa, she stayed outside and watched Victoria went upstairs and called Jayden. “When will you be back?”Jayden who had just finished a meeting was surprised to receive a call from his wife. He stood in the hallway and looked at the sky, “Is there anything?”Jolene replied gently, “Hmm, I’m waiting for you in the room, you know I’m embarrassed, please keep the light off when you come in.”It was an invitation, an obvious one.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
