My Blind Wife Wants Divorced

How could Chloe close her eyes? Everything that was happening kept replaying in her mind, one scene after another. The revelations made by Josh made her feel like it was all just a dream.

Moreover…

“I don’t know if you’re lucky or unlucky to be divorced by Leonel. But considering what Ester can do to you, your path was correct.

Josh’s words echoed in her mind again. Chloe even sat on the edge of the bed to steady her heartbeat.

“Are you ready?” Josh asked, making sure. His eyes glanced towards the woman who had been hostile towards him all along. Everything he would reveal to this woman contained about 70 percent of the truth. The rest?

What he was doing now was getting rid of a working partner who had been troublesome for him.

“I did put Mountain in a precarious situation some time ago, Sa.” Before the woman could interrupt him, Leonel quickly raised his hand. “I hope you listen to what I’m about to say. You can see many files that I’ve gathered to discuss with you. Someday.”

“You didn’t intend to tell me right away?” Chloe couldn’t wait to speak. She didn’t care about Ester or Josh in front of her. What mattered now was that warmth in his gaze.

“I did. That’s if I even wanted to. You don’t need to know all this. You should live your life now. Whatever makes you happy, whatever you do and enjoy for yourself, go ahead. I want to protect you from the increasing heartache.”

Chloe didn’t understand at all.

“Looking at your face, I’m sure you’re getting more confused. I already told you not to interrupt me, Chloe.” Josh pulled Chloe’s hand to sit back on his comfortable sofa. “Pay close attention to this.”

“Why should I pay attention to Medusa?” Chloe frowned, not liking it.

“I’ll make it brief,” Josh chuckled. “Ester met someone from the workshop to conspire and cause your accident. Do you remember the accident that happened to you?”

“How could I forget!” Chloe widened her eyes. “So… all of this because of Ester?” Chloe didn’t expect this at all. She trembled as she looked at the photo that Josh had given her again.

“Yes,” Josh stated without hesitation. “That’s why I came back to the US. I didn’t want to see you suffer again. Did you think I ignored you from afar? I thought your marriage was happy with Leonel, whom I initially didn’t recognize. Just a brilliant businessman, but it turns out? He’s the one who hurt you.”

Chloe fell silent.

“I came back to avenge all the pain you had. I used everything I had to keep you away from Leonel.”

“Including those cheap rumors?”

Josh nodded quickly and without hesitation. “I planned everything well. There were no gaps, and I don’t think Leonel could penetrate what I concealed and planned.”

“Why?” Chloe asked in disbelief.

“Why?” Josh laughed. “What can a man do to keep his woman from danger? From heartache?”

Chloe stared at Josh intently.

“I don’t care if my name gets tarnished for planning to destroy Leonel. I’m ready to face all the consequences for everything I’ve done. I want you to be free from Leonel Grisham. And make him realize how wrong he was to do what he did to you.”

Chloe still couldn’t believe all of this. As she read through the evidence individually, it all pointed to one conclusion-Josh’s plan for Mountain.

“You don’t have to do this, Josh,” Chloe spoke softly.

“I? Don’t you have to do this?” Josh said dismissively. “And watch you drown in heartache? No, Chloe. No. I’ve already clarified that I’m doing all this for you. Nothing else. Unfortunately, you found out about my conversation with Ester too soon. I wanted to play a little longer before finally exacting revenge on what Ester did to you.”

Chloe blinked. “So, it’s true that Ester planned all of this?” Chloe repeated.

“I have another recording from the second meeting after the accident. You were probably fighting for your life then, while Ester…” Josh clenched his fist tightly. “I restrained myself from cooperating with her. Helping her achieve what she wanted until the right time, and then I would expose everything-leaving nothing for Ester to rise again. I don’t care about Leonel afterward. Don’t think that what I’m doing isn’t calculated. Like Mountain, my departure from Ester’s side will also have a huge impact. I’m looking forward to watching what they have done on the screen, and finally, I can retaliate.”

“You… Terrifying.”

Josh turned quickly upon hearing Chloe’s words. Then he laughed hard enough that it made the corners of his eyes water. “Did you just say that?”

Chloe nodded without hesitation.

Reread the previous chapter, everyone. I made a mistake in publishing. Now it’s correct.

****

“And… Ester and Leonel? Aren’t they terrifying? Hurting your heart continuously?”

Chloe rubbed her face. “I know, but I didn’t expect you to do all this.”From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Then can you retaliate at will? Don’t you remember what Lata did to your life?”

Flashes of her five-year marriage passed by quickly. Her tears. Her sorrows. Her disappointments. Her anger. Her low self-esteem.

“I know I don’t have the right to interfere in your marriage, Sa, but you know. It hurt me so much to know what you were feeling. You never complained, and in front of many people, you smiled, but I could see deep in your eyes you were deeply hurt. And as a friend, we put aside my feelings for you.” Josh approached. He gently lifted Chloe’s chin so that they locked eyes intensely.

“Should I just stay silent as a friend? No, Chloe. If Adrianna had the power, she would also avenge your heartache.

“But what you’re doing is excessive, Josh.” Chloe briefly pushed Josh’s hand away, even though they were only a short distance apart. Because afterward, Josh pressed even closer to Chloe. He was closing the distance between them.

“I know,” Josh whispered as he embraced Chloe. “Lately, I know you’ve been living well, happy with your activities, and planning to spend time. I feel like I’ve punished Leonel enough.”

Chloe remained silent in that embrace.

“But for Ester, you still have to pursue legal action. It is premeditated murder. Luckily, God still has mercy on you, Sa. I can’t imagine if when I returned to Indonesia, what I found was your grave.”

“What should I do? Are you sure about these accusations?”

Josh released his embrace on the woman who had imprisoned his heart. For now, he wouldn’t force himself anymore. He had already been honest enough tonight. “Yes. Everything can be accounted for.”

Chloe nodded weakly.

“Don’t worry too much. I’m telling you all this so you know what kind of person Ester is. And what kind of person Leonel is.”

“Yes.” Chloe smiled weakly. “Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me, Chloe. What I’ve done is still wrong, right?”

****

Adrianna couldn’t close her mouth since Josh and Chloe’s conversation about the previous night. Josh had safely escorted her home without anything missing. Several times Josh apologized for scaring Chloe.

He didn’t mean to scare her.

“This… is insane!” Adrianna exclaimed. “If this is true, you have to sue Ester. Don’t just stay silent!”

Chloe gave a faint smile. If I hadn’t followed and eavesdropped on Josh and Ester’s conversation yesterday, it would have been Josh doing this for me.

“Yes!” Adrianna agreed firmly. “I’m sure of it.” Once again, she looked closely at the files, the video recordings on Chloe’s phone, and the many photos on the coffee table in Chloe’s living room.

“This is truly insane.”

“You’ve said that many times, Adrianna.”

Adrianna didn’t care. “You have to meet with a lawyer. Who do you trust? Sue Ester with the harshest charges. Everything you’ve obtained also came from her, right?”

Chloe fell silent for a moment.

“All night, I’ve been thinking about this. When I decided to leave the Hartoni house, I also decided not to know anything that happened there. Whatever happened inside Grisham, I didn’t want to hear about it. Even Mama Agatha rarely mentioned anything about Grisham. Except for her passion for shopping and her efforts to lobby many parties.”

Adrianna chose to listen.

“But it seems there’s unresolved heartache because of Ester’s actions. I truly didn’t expect that she would be capable of such cruelty towards me.”

“Don’t be afraid,” Adrianna gently patted Chloe’s shoulder, giving her the highest encouragement and support. “I support you. Everyone who knows the truth will surely support you. You deserve justice. Don’t let Ester enjoy what was once yours without consequences. I’m not telling you to stay by Leonel’s side. What’s the point? Being near that man is useless.”

Tisaa chuckled at Adrianna’s words just now.

“But most importantly, I believe Josh will help. Right?”

“There’s one thing that Josh will sacrifice if he supports me.”

“What is it?” Adrianna asked, puzzled. Their eyebrows furrowed together.

“His reputation. Because it’s related to Leonel and the cooperation that implicates Mountain.”

“Is he afraid to support you?”

“If he’s afraid, there’s no way Josh would provide this much truth that he’s been hiding.”

Adrianna nodded slowly. “So… What’s your decision?”

In front of Adrianna, Chloe was initially hesitant, but because of Adrianna’s reassuring gaze, she strengthened her resolve and prayed for God’s blessing on her path.

She would seek justice.

Medusa couldn’t be allowed to breathe freely.

She grabbed her phone immediately. The only person she trusted to handle this matter: Chris.
