After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 13 - Beware
Nora’s words kept echoing in my mind even after she had left. “Beware of Don’s secretary.” I wanted to inquire further, but it was impossible without revealing that we were discussing Gianni’s secretary.I could only hope to encounter her again to uncover the details of what she was trying to convey.Gianni graciously opened the car door for me, and I couldn’t help but notice that certain gestures from our past, like him holding the door for me and carrying my bag while shopping, remained unchanged.“Thank you,” I expressed as I settled into the car, taken aback by the expressions on the faces of his bodyguards and secretary.Sir, are you going somewhere?" she asked as he opened the door and prepared to sit down.I was relieved when Molly mentioned that she was Don's secretary, but I couldn't help but notice her awkward demeanor.However, I decided it wasn't my place to dwell on it. "Yes, I'll see you at the office tomorrow. I've already signed everything. Is there anything else?" Gi

Giovanni’s POVI was greatly upset because I never let people like Melody and her friend off the hook.It bothered me that my employee was being mean to a woman who had once saved my life, an ex-girlfriend whom I had promised to help.Despite my determination to declare them missing, Molly somehow prevented me from doing so. I was acting in her best interest, so if she didn’t want it, there wasn’t much I could do about it.Upon returning home, I was surprised to find out that she had Roger in mind.Marie was already aware of my strict rules regarding children's toys, as I wanted to ensure Roger's intellectual development surpassed mine.In the underworld, dangers lurked, and age or innocence did not matter to those who sought to harm us. We lived each day prepared for any threat that may come our way.I provided Roger with books to enhance his cognitive abilities, even though he was only four years old. Roger was exceptionally bright, reading and comprehending fluently by the age of t

After overhearing the father and son conversation, I deduced that Roger's previous nannies never stayed at this house.What a waste of such a vast space, reminiscent of Wesley's new mansion. Gianni's residence was still grander and more opulent than that.I noticed some women in uniforms, unmistakably maids, who seemed taken aback by the little boy's outburst.Standing behind the door as Roger shouted for me to leave, I remained resolute, fearing that if he had his way this time, I might miss the opportunity to get to know him."I just want to say hi," I ventured, not anticipating his kindness but also not bracing myself for his harsh words."I hate you," he bellowed from inside. I forced a smile, catching an inscrutable expression on Gianni's face. It was evident he was inclined to intervene, but I was not ready to give up just yet."I understand you hate me, but you don't know me. Why don't we give each other a chance to get acquainted? If you still dislike me after a month, I will l

Molly’s POV“What are you up to, Molly?” He asked in a serious tone but for some reason, I was not afraid of him.I folded my arms and glared at Gianni, explaining the situation vividly to him.“If you handle getting him ready for preschool every morning, then I won’t have a job, right?” In other words, I would rather stay elsewhere than free-load in his mansion.I noticed the conflicting look in his eyes and continued, “How did he even get ready this morning, and don’t you travel at all?”Someone like him would indeed travel a couple of times so who takes care of Roger when he’s away?“When Dad’s not around, I do everything myself. No one must help me except him,” Roger said defiantly, I was beginning to wonder if he was a toddler or an adult.The commanding way he spoke mirrored his father but he was too young to have that attitude.“You&rsquo

Molly’s POVFear overtook me when I saw the things crawling in my room, a shrill scream tore from my throat as I heard the sound of laughter.No doubt it was the little brat, but it soon stopped, replaced by the sound of heavy footsteps.I couldn’t believe that Roger loved the very things I hated. How could someone his age love snakes and spiders?I felt sweat drenching me everywhere I could think of and was frozen in bed, scared of the two snakes crawling on the floor and the two spiders on the bed.“Molly, are you alright?”Relief washed over me when I heard Gianni’s voice as he rushed to my side and carried me off the bed.Without thinking twice, I wrapped my arms around his neck, and even when he set me down a safe distance away, I refused to let go, except when I realized I was holding onto his naked body.His muscles were thick but also very comfortable. Gianni was not like this before. “Sorry,” I said and finally let go, hugging my shivering form.Gianni wanted to say something
Last Updated : 2024-11-19After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 18 – Let Molly Go
Giovanni’s POVI didn’t expect Molly to clean Roger’s shoes, but she did. It was something I always did for Roger, but the way he asked Molly to do it was wrong.I expected her to refuse, but she explained her side of the story, making it seem like nothing.I don’t want her to be a pushover like she always allowed herself to be. Instead, I want her to become strong, confident, and resilient. That would be the only way for her to stand up to those who bullied her.Training her to fit that description was not difficult for me, but I didn’t want to do that for a married woman.Call me selfish, but that is what it is. I hurt her in the past, and I’m ready to make amends, but her ex-husband is now happy with her sister.All I wanted was to declare them missing, but Molly was too kind. My declaring the two men who almost took advantage of her missing is still a matter I haven’t been able to explain to her.I don’t know how she will take their death, so I had to toughen her to face my world a
Last Updated : 2024-11-20After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 19 – I hope you don’t regret this one day
Molly’s POVI felt embarrassed to be caught eavesdropping, but I doubted that Roger would apologize to me. From the look of things, his hostility was not just towards me, so I figured I wasn’t wrong.The boy had a misanthropic disorder, so I would have to work a little harder at making him understand things from my perspective.“I won’t apologize, but I won’t do it again,” he said, glaring at me, but his father did not seem to be on par with his decision. “Then you don’t get your spiders back.”I saw Roger’s eyes turn red and realized that love could not be forced. “You can give him back his spiders. Not doing it again is enough for me,” I said, regretting it soon after when I saw a smirk form at the corner of his lips.Did the boy trick me? Perhaps his father knew him better. “Great, I’m calling the animal control agency now.”“No, please don’t,” Roger cried. I was helpless and pulled Gianni to the side. Gosh, why did he have to still be in his boxers?“Gianni, please, he’s still yo
Last Updated : 2024-11-21After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 20 – You should hear her sing
“You look like a star, Molly. Too bad you’re just a nanny,” Roger casually said. Something died inside of me, and for a moment, I wanted to run back inside to change.The high-fashion dress and stilettos accessorized with sunglasses gave me an amazing look, but it never reminded me of my glorious days.Sorrow weighed heavy on my heart, but I replied, “Thanks for the compliment, Roger. Peace of mind matters more than being a star.”Confusion clouded Roger’s mind as he sat in the back seat with us. The driver drove to his school, and on the way, Roger spoke again.“It’s pathetic that because you can’t reach the sky, you put peace of mind above it. When you are a star, you have everything and can do whatever you like. What is better than that?”As a four-year-old, I understood his perspective but couldn’t help being saddened by my past challenges. I decided to say no more, but Gianni spoke out of the blue.“Molly was a superstar before, and she will be again. You should hear her sing.”M

Octavia’s POV“Gael was raised by my best friend, but I felt it was time for him to understand the Dawson’s business. So, I introduced him to Gio’s father as a nephew, but I didn’t know he would get suspicious. Also, Gio didn’t like Gael."Now it made sense. Gael faked his death with a bullet, but one thing was still unclear.“Why did I come into the picture?”She laughed sarcastically, hinting that there was more to the whole situation. “Octavia, I needed a virgin for Gael, which is why I had him take care of you as a teenager after your parents died.”Tears welled up in my eyes as I began to question Gael’s supposed love for me. Also, Beatrix always preyed on orphans like me because it was the same with Nicole but as for Gael, “He never loved me.”“Oh, stop it, you fool. No one is expected to fall in love in this game. That’s why as soon as I heard Gio had a woman in college, I had to separate them, and that woman is Molly. We had to ensure you were pregnant with Gael’s child before
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 120 – How I won his father's heart
Octavia’s POV“What do you mean Gael is still alive? Mom, we buried him. I was at his funeral," I explained, just in case she was mistaken, but the seriousness in her eyes indicated otherwise.Her gaze held a conviction, that sent a chill down my spine. "Mom, please elaborate on this,” I pleaded with her."Octavia, do you think I would let my son sacrifice himself for a stepchild?" she questioned, causing my eyes to widen with shock.Vanni may be ruthless, but this woman was the true villain. If Vanni knew about this, he would surely eliminate her. Despite Vanni cutting me off, revealing this woman's intentions to him might give me a chance in his life again, right?"Mom, please tell me you're joking. Gael is dead." I had moved on from Gael and shifted my affection to Vanni, so this revelation was unexpected, and I wasn't sure if I could love Gael the same way again."Gael is in London but will return in a few days. I provided him with a new identity."Her words weren't enough to conv
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 119 – If you had married Gio
Octavia’s POVMolly, the bitch took everything from me. How could I have known she would come into the picture? If I had known, I would have tried harder to win Vanni over, but now she has won Roger as well.Even though my son knew Vanni wasn't his biological father, he still clung to him. Together with Molly, they looked like a perfect family, the family that was meant to be mine.I blamed myself. If only I had cared for Roger and made him happy, maybe Vanni would have fallen in love with me. I always thought men didn't like women with attachments, but I was wrong.Vanni had changed completely from the last time I saw him at home and not even memories of Gael could make him accept my demands."Octavia, I didn't ask Gael to take the bullet for me. We weren't even close. It saddens me that he died because of it, but I won't let you manipulate me. If someone else had sabotaged Molly like you did, she would be dead. Be grateful you're still alive."Tears welled in my eyes, but I held the
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 118 - Claiming what’s rightfully mine
Molly’s POVOctavia must have regretted her words because she smiled nervously and tried to take them back.“That’s not what I meant. What I was saying was…”Gianni didn’t allow her to finish her sentence before cutting in. “Roger, I wanted to wait until you were older, but since she already said it, it’s true. You weren’t formed from my DNA, but the moment I laid eyes on you, you were mine, and I never stopped loving you.”Gianni’s words were honest, as his gaze bore into Roger's. The boy’s expression was unreadable, and a deafening silence took over the table as we waited for him to say something, but it took time.The more it was delayed, the more anxious we got, and for the first time, I saw tears in Roger’s eyes as he asked in a sorrow-filled voice,“So, are you going to let me go?” I felt relieved that his only fear was losing the only man he had grown to love as a father.Gianni smiled, and I knew things were going to get better. Octavia was already nervous, seeing that things
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 117 - He’s not your daddy
Molly’s POVI never knew Gianni to be weak, but Octavia must have something on him. Whatever it was, made Gianni kowtow to her demands, which upset me and Roger.After tucking Roger into bed and reading him a bedtime story, I lay beside him. He asked softly, “Mom, you won’t leave dad because of that woman, will you?”Knowing Octavia was just a jealous bitch, I reassured him, “No. Adults have misunderstandings, but we always work through them.”If Gianni said he never slept with her, then I believe him but whatever she said to have made him change his mind, made me afraid.“Thank you, Molly,” Roger said, embracing me before falling asleep. Despite my efforts, I couldn't sleep, and suddenly the door opened.“Who’s there?” I whispered, not wanting to wake Roger.“Can we talk?” Gianni's voice came from the doorway. I felt the need to talk with him, so I stood up, kissed Roger on the forehead, and left his room.“Sure, let’s go,” I replied. I noticed Gianni had showered but wondered why he
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 116 – Just a few days
Octavia’s POVVanni completely changed my son. Roger was more fierce and unwelcoming compared to Vanni, and when I looked at him, he seemed nothing like his real father.Gael was very gentle and kind, and I believe that if he were still alive, no one would associate him with Roger. This behavior made it challenging for me to implement my plans because Roger was as stubborn as a rock.He appeared so upset that his words seemed final. However, I couldn’t bear the thought of being pushed out of my son's life."Roger, can you please let her stay downstairs? She's still your mother," Molly pleaded, and I understood why Gianni loved her. She was talented and kind, which could work to my advantage, except I couldn't deceive Roger.His personality was complex. Like a light switch, he could shift from being caring to very mean. He was caring when interacting with his father or Molly, but mean when dealing with me."The fact that she gave birth to me doesn't make her a mother," he coldly stared
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 115 – Kick her out, daddy
Molly’s POVI couldn’t be upset with Gianni because Octavia was Roger’s mother. However, Gianni should be nearing thirty. As to how the two produced Roger, it remained a mystery to me.Roger was in the shower when I reached his room, but he was bathing angrily. I went to help him.“Look, she’s your mother, and you have to accept it, even if you can’t love her,” I tried to explain to him, but he was irrational.“No, you are my mother. I don’t even know her, and all these years, she took all of daddy’s weekends, never caring about me and leaving me out of it. She only loves daddy,” Roger said, sounding more like an adult than a child. I turned off the faucet when I realized he was clean enough and wrapped him in a towel. How he was able to break down his mother’s character and understand that the woman never cared for him was exceptional but unexpected from a four-year-old. “Roger, there must be some explanation, okay? Daddy loves you so much, so if he brought her, then she must be g
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 114 – You might just die like Nicole
Octavia’s POVTwo days ago.“Mom, you came?" I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the woman with six bodyguards. She was pretty and fierce, looking more like a twenty-year-old than the fifty-something-year-old woman she was."I know you weren't expecting me, but I had to do it for my son," she smiled a little. Her presence attracted a lot of attention, but I knew Vanni would garner even more attention, especially since most of my peers loved to flaunt their men."You mean Vanni isn't coming?" I was very disappointed."I'm sorry, but let's talk after the event. I don't want to keep you waiting." I agreed with her and joined my mates for the ceremony, constantly watching out for Vanni and hoping he would show up to disappoint his mother, but that didn't happen.Foolish of me to have thought all these years that his mother hated me. Turns out she loved me enough to show up."Vanni has been so busy these days, but I will go and help him," I said to her, trying to hide my disappointment a
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 113 – Our son needs us
Giovanni’s POVOctavia appeared more well-behaved than I had anticipated when I arrived at Molly's office. However, it was time to terminate our contract, so I led her to my office.She sat on my desk, and due to my indulgence, I allowed it."Vanni, I was sad you couldn't make it to my graduation, but it's okay. Mom said you were busy, so she came on your behalf," Octavia said.Her words caught me off guard. "My mom was at your graduation?" It was odd, considering my mom's initial dislike for Octavia. What was she playing at?"Yes, and she used to call to check on me. She's quite nice, and I don't think she has any issues with us," Octavia said innocently, but I couldn't help but scoff.If that woman was getting close to her, there was something fishy going on, or Octavia was hiding something from me."Octavia, you've graduated, and I have a job lined up for you, but our contract can't continue," I informed her. I couldn't keep up this facade with Molly back in my life, no matter how
