The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260

But today was different. No matter how long she waited, Stanley didn’t come.

Jessica, starting to panic, kept calling Stanley over and over–but all she heard on the other end was the cold, mechanical voice of the automated system.

“Sorry, the number you are trying to reach is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”

Stanley wasn’t answering her calls.

Bang!

In a burst of frustration, Jessica slammed her phone against the wall, her delicate face twisted in anger.

“Jessica, don’t get upset. Your heart can’t stand it,” Lilian said, trying to calm her down.

Jessica shoved Lilian away.

“How can I not be upset? Luna is useless! I thought her little pregnancy trick would work–that we could set up a situation where her baby would die at Wendy’s hands, and then Wendy would be ruined for good. But she’s such an idiot! Now Stanley knows that the woman from that night was Wendy. He’s probably with her right now!”

Jessica was terrified that Stanley would discover the truth about that night. Now, her worst fear had come true- he had found out.

They had been together for years, but had never crossed that line. Wendy was the first woman Stanley had ever been with. They say that a man never forgets his first woman.

Jessica was truly scared now.

Lilian’s face also darkened. Who would have thought Luna would be so ineffective?

Now Stanley was with Wendy, and for the first time, he hadn’t come to be with Jessica.

This was a very dangerous sign.

“Mom, I’m really scared. Do you think Stanley will find out the truth about what happened in that cave? Do you think he’ll realize that I’m not the girl from back then, and that Wendy was the one he’s been searching for all along?”

Lilian’s face went pale. “Quiet, Jessica!”

Jessica froze, quickly covering her mouth with her hand. Luckily, they were in their own house, and no one would

hear.

That secret needed to stay buried forever.

“Jessica, never say that again. If Stanley finds out, it won’t just be you–it’ll be the end for our whole family!” Lilian warned.

Stanley was a dangerous man. If he discovered the truth, the consequences would be unimaginable. They couldn’t let him find out.

Jessica slumped onto the sofa. “Mom, we should never have let Wendy marry Stanley in my place. We shouldn’t have let her get so close to him!”

“Wendy’s just some poor country bumpkin, with no education and no job,” Lilian spat. “I thought Mr. Hawk wouldn’t look twice at her. Who knew he’d be so slowly drawn to her!”

At first, both Lilian and Jessica had looked down on Wendy never considering her a real threa

Perhaps fate had already decided things. Wendy had come into Stanley’s life, and now he was attracted to her.

“Mom, what do we do now? We can’t just sit back and let this happen.”

Lilian thought for a moment. “We have to pull out all the stops this time, Jessica. We have to make sure we win Mr. Hawk over and get him to divorce Wendy.”
