Molly’s POV

Reencountering Wesley and Kiara was not the highlight of my day. The two seemed like a perfect match, though their affection was a bit nauseating.

They both appeared insecure, finding solace in each other's company. I couldn't help but notice Kiara's lingering glances at Gianni.

Unfortunately for her, Gianni was a married man with a rebellious son.

What added a touch of humor to the situation was Wesley's inquiry about whether I had cheated on him.

He may have wished me ill, but life had only improved for me since parting ways with him.

I had no intention of groveling or begging for his forgiveness, but

I couldn't leave behind my valuable jewelry and clothes, especially the ones gifted to me by my late parents on various occasions.

Among them were precious photos that held sentimental value, serving as a connection to my parents.

As this would be my final visit to Wesley's old house, I needed to retrieve them all.

Gianni was preoccupied, and I initially hesitated to involve

  • After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire   Chapter 32 - How dare you hit my son?

    Wesley’s father, mother, brother, and sister were all waiting under the stairs like a group of zombies. I couldn't tell if Wesley had informed them about the divorce based on the question his mother asked me.“You seem to be in a hurry, so who do you expect to clean this house?” A humorless chuckle escaped me, and I could see the shock in their eyes at my reaction. All the pain I had buried inside erupted like a volcano.“If you won’t clean it, then sleep in the filth. I’m not your maid,” I said nonchalantly as I hurried down the stairs, walking past them with my jewelry box and duffle bag.Unexpectedly, I felt a sharp pain in my scalp, causing me to let out a shrill cry. At the same time, the jewelry box fell from my hand and broke.I was more concerned about the jewelry box than who had pulled my hair. My heart broke along with it as I knelt before the shattered box.It felt like something inside me had shattered as well. I released the duffle bag, only to be hit with another pain

I gave her a fifteen-minute window to gather her belongings and leave before I would intervene.I believed this timeframe was ample for her to prepare to depart. However, I was unaware that there were others present until I heard a voice that resembled Molly’s.I abruptly ended my call and checked the timer I had set.

    I've never been a fan of violence, but this time, I supported Gianni's every action.If he had not intervened, or if I had come alone, I would have not only suffered injuries but also lost my jewelry and most likely been forced to clean the entire house.Having been on the receiving end of bullies, I found Gianni's actions extreme when he instructed Bertha to pick up the jewelry with her mouth. However, I couldn't stand Radley when he tried to act tough.The fact that he destroyed my jewelry box entirely made me want to make him pay.My late parents gave me this; it wasn’t just about the cost but the love attached to it. I planned to treasure it until I die, yet the brat this."Who are you? You can't bully us like this.

    Kiara’s POV“I can’t believe you allowed them into your house without us being there,” I said to Wesley as he drove away from the court, heading to the hospital.My parents had special jewelry that I never saw after their death, and something inside me tells me that Molly had them. If we could get there before her, I was sure to take them from her.“I wanted to call my parents to deal with Molly for the sudden pride that entered her, but that demon is with her so what can I do?” Wesley said. I sensed the fear in his voice.Giovanni was indeed a terror to the underworld, but I never thought I would meet him face to face.He was good-looking too, the most handsome and deadly man I had ever seen. I was glad Wesley paid some spies enough to keep an eye on Molly for now.That way, I might just find out more about Giovanni. Before, I thought Wesley was the best thing that happened to Molly, but seeing Giovanni all over her, I knew he had to be mine.I then thought about Wade, silently cursi

    Molly’s POVAfter Radley’s call, Gianni didn't stop there. “Are you done with the call now? Hurry up and kiss her feet before your brother arrives.”His expression was defiant and I was beginning to worry about his busy schedules. He had already spent an hour here and I feared spending more of his time.Radley was in tears. Not even my slaps made him cry, and his stubbornness was so ingrained in him that he didn't comply.“I can’t. She means nothing to me.”A slap from Gianni sent him crashing into the sofa, his mother wailing as if she had just lost a son and a husband when we heard the sound of a siren.Gianni was displeased because Radley was fortunate not to have hit the wall like his father and was cushioned by the sofa instead.The sound of the siren grew louder, and I wondered who had called the emergency services.However, Radley's face and eyes were red and swollen as he wailed in his mother's arms. Bertha smartly remained on the floor where he was and had succeeded in pickin

    Wesley’s POVI was furious when I received the call about what happened to my parents. Upon reaching my own home, I saw my family being bullied, and I felt helpless due to the sling on my arm.Even without it, I doubted I could defeat Giovanni. The trained bodyguards I brought were unable to defeat him, which added to my shame. What was he made of?Someone of his status should have bodyguards, but he didn’t have any with him and dealt with mine effortlessly.To make matters worse, Radley looked to me for defense."The cops were too scared to arrest him. Dad has been taken to the hospital.""You won't let him bully us, will you?"His desperate eyes met mine, and my heart ached that I couldn't protect them.This was all because of Molly. “Radley, I had an accident on the way and broke my wrist. Please allow me some time to recover,” I said, but Molly interrupted.“An accident? Or did Gianni break your wrist because you tried to touch me?” she taunted. I was stunned to see her like this.

Don’t do it.”Giovanni was ruthless, showing no respect for my mother and telling her, “Mrs. Thompson if you don’t pick up the remaining items with your mouth, you will join your husband.”I couldn't bear to see my mother endure such humiliation, so I knelt. “It’s alright. I will do it.”Kiara looked at me with disdain in her eyes. “What would Wade think if he heard that his father was reduced to a dog?” she snickered, and I wasn't surprised.She had left me before and managed to worm her way back into my life. Because of her, everything between me and Molly was destroyed, yet she had the audacity to say this.Kiara seemed to regret her words when Giovanni turned his gaze towards her. “Join him in picking up the jewelry with your mouth,” he ordered coldly, disdain evident in his eyes as he looked at her.Kiara appeared repulsed. “You can’t make me do that.

Now, it felt like some kind of trophy, but when I heard Giovanni's intentions for it, I felt like I was dying inside.“I just remembered that I have to clean their smelly mouths from your precious feet,” he remarked, causing my jaw to clench, feeling powerless in front of him.Molly seemed taken aback by his actions as he knelt before her, treating her like a princess, disregarding his white suit as he gently removed her stilettos.Giovanni carefully placed her feet on my coffee table, then picked up her jewelry box and duffle bag from the floor, placing them gently on the sofa to avoid the unconscious bodyguards lying on the floor.I was unsur

I wanted to kill that son of a bitch with my bare hands."Can you get me in?" If they knew I was coming, they would find means to stop me and that would waste time."Of course.

    Giovanni’s POVI had paid a hefty sum to have those scandalous photos of Molly deleted, even resorting to hacking into phones to remove them so when Erica claimed to have them, I was skeptical.Don Black was playing games that I found distasteful. After Molly won the competition, he had the audacity to spout nonsense."Don Gio, I didn't finish explaining the rules before the process began," he said nervously, sensing my displeasure."What do you mean?" I scowled, my anger rising."I get to keep the winner and do as I please with her, and you get to keep the loser and do as you please with her.""How dare you?" I seethed, feeling the urge to confront him."Molly is staying with me, and I will find you," I declared firmly, with Hank monitoring the situation through a hidden camera."Don Gio, let her go. She can help us locate Don Black's whereabouts. I'll keep an eye on her," Hank reassured me."Don Gio, you'll never find me unless you send me Molly," Don Black taunted.An idea struck m

    Giovanni’s PovI knew Don Black might try some tricks, but I never expected something as shallow as this. Thanks to Molly, I had some insight into his identity, so he couldn't fool me completely.Suddenly, Hank's voice came through the earpiece I was using to communicate with him discreetly. Molly was unaware of our communication."Gio, Don Black is at a hotel near the restaurant. I think he might ask for Molly. I'm heading there now."I wanted to inquire about Roger, but then I heard a voice in the background."Uncle Hank, I'm tracking the location."Hearing his voice lifted my spirits, but I realized I still had a gun pointed at the person in front of me and the bodyguards around had guns pointed at me and Molly but that was the least of my worries.My men were right behind the door and would enter at my signal."Don Dawson, you've got it all wrong. I'm here to deliver a message from Don Black."As I looked up, Santiago had vanished, and the woman was still trying to flirt with me, b

    Molly’s POV“Will you believe me if I told you that you were the reason I kept wearing a white suit every day?" Gianni's question stopped me in my tracks, just before he reached the door."What are you talking about?" I asked, genuinely surprised as he patiently explained, his gaze not leaving mine."Molly, when I couldn't reach you again after everything settled down, I felt guilty, bitter, and angry with myself. Even worse, I felt like a terrible person whenever I remembered how pure you were and how I couldn't protect you from those bullies because I found out too late."Bitterness tinged his voice. "You were already married, and I couldn't contact you to apologize. That's why wearing white made me feel the purity I always saw in your eyes."I was speechless, tears threatening to spill from the corners of my eyes. His wearing white was not as people said.It was a personal matter between us and I felt guilty for trying so hard to forget him and moving on with Wesley but maybe, that

For a moment, I wanted to find out more about Roger’s real mom but I always feared ruining the sweet atmosphere he created for me and I hardly heard them talk to each other.If not for Roger, I would have feared taking another woman’s son but his excitement whenever he referred to me as mom mirrored my excitement.For some reason, I felt the need to thank Wesley and Kiara for taking everything from me because if not, I would have never met Gianni again.However, after knowing what he battled, I couldn’t help but continuously wonder if it would have continued without my insistence of his doing it with me.Now, he wanted me every chance he

    Giovanni’s POVThe news prompted me to abruptly halt the meeting as most of the issues had been addressed."Agatha, please send the report to me first thing tomorrow morning," I instructed, and she nodded in agreement. "Yes, sir."As I stood up, I motioned for Molly to follow me before calling Hank on the phone again when we reached my office. "Tell me exactly what's going on."Hank explained, "You know how I always leave one of my spies in the shadows when I drop him off at school? He called to inform me that there were some strange men hovering around, so I told him to send a picture. Turns out, they are your mother's bodyguards."I couldn't help but chuckle at the situation. Mom's plan seemed shallow. If she captured Roger, she would try to force me to swap him with Molly, but she seemed to forget that Roger was her grandchild."Are you sure you can get him out smoothly?" I asked Hank, to which he replied with a laugh, "I went to the school immediately and picked him up. That's whe

    Nicole’s POVMolly appeared frightened and anxious, clearly caught off guard by the situation. "I..." Her words seemed to stick in her throat as Gio reminded her of my past actions."Don't forget how she almost killed you," he said, picking up my gun from the floor and handing it to Molly.I desperately tried to reach the gun before him, but I failed, watching helplessly as my blood spilled onto the floor. All I wanted was to end Molly before I died, to make it all worthwhile for my mom.Gio placed the gun in Molly's hand, guiding her finger to the trigger. I hoped against hope that she wouldn't go through with it, but my fears were confirmed when he ordered, "Shoot her, Molly."Molly's hands trembled, fear evident in her eyes. She hesitated, saying, "No, I can't." A wave of relief washed over me as she tried to pull her finger away, but Gio held it firmly in place."This is my world, Molly. There are others like Nicole out there. If you can't eliminate those who threaten your life, y
