Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1028

"Don't be so vain," she advised drily.

Shamelessly wrapping his arms around her, he whined in a voice that even he found sickening, "But I really want one."

They said men who knew how to act cute got exactly what they wanted.

That statement proved entirely accurate.

Under his relentless pestering, she finally caved.

The reason he had locked in the sixth of next month was because it was only two weeks away.

It also happened to be one of the few highly auspicious dates left in the year.

Terrified that his pragmatic wife might change her mind, he was desperate to seal the deal immediately.

As for the mountain of logistics required for the wedding, he had ordered Hans to start secretly preparing over a year ago.

Andres White's wedding was never going to be a rushed, half-baked affair.

The crisis triggered by his rogue announcement had been perfectly neutralized by his smooth talking.

With her blessing secured, he immediately ordered Hans to throw the wedding preparations into overdrive.

A few days later, Maeve made plans to grab lunch with Naomi Lowell.

Naomi had booked a table in advance, and they agreed to meet at the restaurant at eleven-thirty.

Naomi arrived fifteen minutes early.

The restaurant spanned four floors, and she had reserved a private suite by the window on the top level.

From her seat, she had a perfect view of the bustling street below.

While waiting, she scrolled idly through her phone and took a quick call from Declan Fulton.

Just as she hung up, she glanced out the floor-to-ceiling window and spotted Maeve stepping out of her custom SUV.

Naomi waved through the glass to signal that she was already there.

But Maeve clearly didn't see her.

Right after locking the car, just as she started toward the entrance, over a dozen sleek black SUVs swarmed the curb, boxing her in.

The door of the lead vehicle swung open.

Maeve caught sight of someone, and her expression instantly morphed into sheer panic.

She spun around and bolted.
