Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 580

[Mr. Rivera had me fake it as a couple with that guy, even threatened me that if I didn't make it convincing, he'd let the guy have his way with me. To protect myself, I had no choice but to act my heart out. I thought Mr. Rivera did this to put on a show for Marcus’ wife, but I didn't expect you to show up. That’s one thing I couldn’t figure out.]

Cornelia said: [Give it some time, you should understand then.]

So much happened that night and so much to say. But when Marcus faced her questions, he didn’t give a single excuse.

He just asked her if she would trust him. He trusted her, and he hoped she would trust him too. Sometimes his world was so simple, it was almost laughable.

Natalia said: [Cornelia, when you asked me that day, I wasn't trying to deceive you. It's because Mr. Rivera wouldn't let me talk. I was afraid that if I said anything, he would do something to me.]

Cornelia said: [I understand now.]

Natalia said: [Those previous messages were sent by my mom. I really want to be friends with you. Can you stop deleting me?]

Cornelia nodded: [Alright.]

Natalia sent a cute emoji, plus a message: [Cornelia, once I'm free, I'll come find you.]

Cornelia asked: [Where has your mom locked you up?]

Natalia replied: [The Reese family mansion. It's not bad here, although I can't go out and see the world. At least I'm not getting beaten up every day.]

Lying in bed, Cornelia looked carefully at the messages Natalia sent.

The person wanting to drive her out of Riverton wasn’t just Clair. Last year Courtney and Eden tried the same, but failed due to Marcus’ intervention.

As long as Marcus didn't want her gone, Courtney couldn't drive her out of town. That shouldn't be a secret, so why was Clair so confident?

Could it be?

Thinking of this possibility, Cornelia shivered. Her afternoon drowsiness half gone.
