Lyra Daniel, an aspiring fashion designer, is on a mission to save her sick husband, Felix Thomson. Lyra crosses paths with Dante Cooper, a billionaire heir in need of a contract wife to appease his meddling family. “I will give you $500,000 once we get married and $500,000 after the divorce is finalized,” Lyra couldn't accept the deal because of her love for Felix. But when Felix finds out about the contract... "I swear to you, Lyra. I will never let you down. If you give me this second chance at life, then I promise you my life because…” Unknown to Lyra, Felix's plea is part of deception to escape their marriage. She soon finds herself trapped in Dante's world, where he and his family view her as nothing but a gold digger. Felix stopped responding to Lyra’s call, knowing that there was a high possibility that Dante wouldn't pay the balance of the contract.

Years later, Lyra has transformed into a powerful, celebrated figure in the fashion industry. She has rebuilt her life, but the scars of betrayal run deep. Fate brings her back into the lives of both ex-husbands. Dante, now living in the same apartment building to escape his grandmother's matchmaking schemes. "That scent… it reminds me of someone I used to know," Meanwhile, Felix, driven by selfish motives, seeks to exploit Lyra again. "Lyra, we had something special. Let's not waste it," Will Lyra seize the opportunity for revenge? Or will the past pull her into deceit once more?

Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 043: The Meeting
After a very long and stressful day at work, Dante returned home, yearning for a well-deserved rest, only to be welcomed back into his apartment by an annoying low-frequency hum sound hanging over the air.He stood at the doorpost, for some time holding onto the open door, staring confusingly into his sitting room like a stranger, while digging one finger in and out of each ear hole to be sure the problem wasn't from his own ears.After opening and closing the door several times and after becoming convinced that the sound was actually coming from his apartment, he decided to take his time to double check on his appliances as well as his gadgets, but none of them were connected. He didn't really expect any of them to be, though; it has always been a long-term habit of his to turn them off before leaving for work or anywhere else."So where could the source of the sound be then?" He muttered to himself helplessly, placing both hands on his waist.After racking his mind for a while, he c
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 042: No, she can't have it all.
Lyra woke up the next morning with her head still filled with thoughts of how to make a perfect retaliation at the 6B guy after all he did the previous day. Just a few minutes after getting down from the bed, she stood close to the nesting table, turning to Aria, who was now sitting up on the bed."I'm thinking maybe we should get his contact information and bombard him with unending calls, or what do you think? Too easy?"Aria yawned, covering up her mouth with a palm before she said, absentmindedly."Yeah obviously. He probably will just block the line or get another one."Lyra let out a small hum, tapping on her temple repeatedly, then murmured:"Or should we make the hallway slippery? or no, no, too dangerous."Meanwhile, Aria's mind, while sitting on the bed, was literally lingering with questions about the call she got yesterday."Why would Dante want to see me regarding Lyra? Does he even know she's back?"When Lyra could not still come up with a perfect retaliation plan, she
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 041: A Meeting
Dante woke up early the next day, feeling a slight headache. The booming sound from the next room was still reverberating."God." He gasped in frustration.Then he sat up on the bed, gazing vaguely into space as he thought about how he could possibly pay her back for the torture she was putting him through. After a few seconds of gazing in this manner, an idea suddenly occurred to him."Yes," he murmured, nodding his head approvingly."This will surely teach her a lesson." He murmured again.He rolled out of bed and spent the rest of the minutes whistling as he got dressed and proceeded on his way to work.A few moments later, after dressing and coming out of his apartment, Dante stood at the center of the hall with his briefcase in hand to call on one of the maintenance staff.The worker, a tall guy in a marching white and black uniform, immediately scurried towards him."Yes sir." He answered, leaning slightly.Dante leaned towards him as well, lowering his voice to speak."I need a

After the call with Chase, Dante had been so overwhelmed with delight that he could no longer continue with the office work. He immediately picked up his phone, his briefcase, and his car keys as he turned to march out of the office, heading back to his apartment with a brightened-up face and a radiant smile.All through the duration of his drive back home, the smile on his face did not fade. He kept whistling, swinging his head from side to side heatedly, and thinking of how pleasant and freeing it would be to finally get to see Lyra again.When he arrived at the parking lot of his apartment building, he turned off the ignition of the Bentley, climbed down steadily, and strode towards the entrance with exultant steps.When he reached the elevator opening and was just about to touch one of the controller buttons by the side, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He paused to pull it out, only to see that it was an incoming call from his grandmother. He shook his head indulgingly before pi
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 039: Found Her
The next morning, a few minutes after Aria had already left for work, Lyra, while lying on the bed, instantly took into account the long day waiting ahead of her and quickly jumped to her feet. She grabbed a towel from the shower storage before scurrying into the bathroom on her tiptoes. After her bath, and after she was all gussied up, she came back to the mirror, observing the curvy outline of her shape and how impeccably it was complimented by her dark gown worn on stiletto heels. Lyra is such a pro at sporting heels now, unlike in earlier years."That's how bossy ladies do." She muttered satisfactorily with a playfully smug tone.She assumed her fast-paced mannerisms once again, grabbing her bag from the bed and her notepad from the nesting table before turning around to rush out of the room.Just as she had planned the previous day, Lyra stopped by the solicitor's office, which she located through the address on the document she was served. Fortunately for her, the address was

When Lyra arrived at her apartment building, she refreshed and made herself a simple dinner of smash burgers.She took the meal to the sitting room, sitting carelessly on one of the couches to eat the meal halfway before going ahead to check the updates in her mailbox with one hand. The first thing she saw while scrolling through the box was a new message from the apartment owner."Young lady, I think it would help you if you vacate the apartment building as instructed or get ready to face some really bad legal consequences." He wrote.Lyra scoffed and scrolled a little downwards to see some highlighted hints beneath the message where he stated that the noise pollution coming from her apartment was the reason for her eviction."For real?"Lyra murmured with little food still in her mouth, chewing at the same time and looking unconcerned.Then, without thinking twice, Lyra pushed her plate aside and readjusted on the couch before proceeding to browse through the online stores available
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 037: Meeting Again
Lyra was standing over Drey's office table with Drey himself scrunched up on his chair as he showed her the draft of the pattern she revealed to him on her notepad a day ago."I really love this." She said happily."I think it's perfect; let them know they have my permission to proceed with the production immediately, looking forward to a perfect result." She added it with a satisfied grin.Drey nodded pliantly, got up from his seat, and left the office to do just that while Lyra remained crouched over the table, looking through the rest of the designs. Some few seconds later, she came across yet another best-selling design belonging to a different company this time, and when she tried searching for the name of the parent company, to her surprise, it was none other than the Cooper Fashion Firm, headed by the very same Mirabel Cooper, Dante's sister.Lyra absentmindedly stooped to sit on Drey’s chair, a sly grin playing on her face as she leaned back against the chair with several thou
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 036: I have a wife
Dante sat on his office chair in a half-bowed posture, running his hand through a bunch of documents on his desk. Marcus was sitting with a straight face at the opposite end of the desk, and standing next to his chair was Mandy, Dante's secretary, who handed him the documents he was perusing. After a few minutes of looking through the file in silence, Dante paused to look up quickly at his secretary. "You can leave for now, Mandy; I will call you when I'm done." He said, swinging his head towards the door. She curtsied and turned around swiftly to exit the office, shutting the door gently after her. Dante was about to return his gaze to the files on his desk when Marcus suddenly shifted forward like someone who had just remembered something significant. "Sir, I almost forgot to tell you. HUB also reached out to us not too long ago. They want us to handle their project even without submitting a contract. Can you believe that?" Dante nodded his head with a knowing look on his
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 035: The Owner
Lyra took another good look at the lady again, battling with mixed emotions. She was indeed one of those colleagues who were fond of badmouthing her years back when she was still working part-time with Douglas."Good day, madam." The lady greeted her respectfully, looking blank. She obviously couldn't even recognize Lyra.Lyra kept her silence, approaching her slowly and wondering if it was too early to start making personnel changes. "Good morning, madam." She greeted again this time, a little more loudly; she must have assumed Lyra didn't hear the first one.Lyra stood to stare directly at her, contemplating her next move. From this position, her mind began to drift, recalling the harsh times of her previous life. The pain and humiliation this particular lady had caused her then. The memories left a sour taste in her tongue and bitterness in her belly."Do… I know you?" The lady, who was now looking extremely confused, stammered helplessly when she wasn't getting any response from
