Last Updated:
2024-11-11 19:05:23Nora’s POV
Molly Campbell was a renowned star whose music captivated audiences worldwide, making her the object of desire for many.
However, an unfortunate incident led to her, being dubbed 'Beauty without brains' by envious women.
Despite rumors that she traded favors with producers for fame, I knew Molly to be kind-hearted and honorable.
When I approached her to join her backup singers, she welcomed me warmly after my voice passed the test, a gesture that other celebrities had denied me.
Her generosity left a lasting impression on me. Hitherto, when her career took a downturn, so did mine as a backup singer, forcing me to work as a waitress until a life-changing opportunity arose two years ago.
Don Giovanni Dawson, the CEO of Dawson's Group, acquired this club and entrusted me with its management, along with others in different states, under certain conditions.
His associates had informed him of my connection to Molly,

Molly’s POV I was eager to find out what Giovanni was up to, so when I saw Nora, I couldn't resist asking her, even though she seemed uncomfortable with the question. "I don't know much about his personal life, just rumors about a woman and a son. We need to leave now. Don gave us only two hours," she said hurriedly, leaving my mind struggling to keep up. Being a housewife had shifted my perspective on many things, so re-entering the world made me nervous. Thanks to Wesley, I was determined not to give up, but hearing her mention ‘Don’ piqued my interest. "Don? What do you mean? Is he some kind of mafia boss?" Those people were known for their ruthless dealings in illegal activities. If Giovanni was involved with them, I needed to find a way to escape quickly, though I couldn't fathom how he could have ended up in such a situation. Nora appeared helpless and fearful, which only fueled my curiosity as she evaded my questions. "Let me find you a dress to change into. They're for e

Giovanni’s POV I have never been in debt, but I owe a debt of gratitude to Molly Campbell. Despite my efforts, I learned she had moved from Alaska where we last met. Determined to repay her kindness, I was disheartened to hear she had married after the scandal, but I respected her husband. He must truly care for her and be a better person than I. All I wanted was to make amends. She only needed to make a wish, and I would fulfill it. My life was in disarray, and I knew she would never be mine again. However, upon hearing from Nora that she was at the club, old emotions resurfaced, prompting me to leave the executive meeting to find her. Upon arriving at the club, I discovered she was nowhere to be found. My heart sank, realizing that, as in the past, she still had many enemies around her. Molly had once saved my life, yet I had deeply hurt her. All I wanted was to make amends without any conditions. When I met her with those two men, it was clear that someone was pulling the str

Molly’s POVThe temperature in the store changed dramatically when the person blocked Melody’s hand, and I was strangely captivated by his alluring cologne scent.It couldn’t be him, could it? Yes, it was. Gianna was dressed the same way he had left the hotel. I wondered how his white outfit remained spotless.The atmosphere in the store had dropped to zero degrees, and even I shivered at the sound of his voice. "Close the store. No one is allowed to enter or exit," he commanded.I hadn't seen the two men following him clearly last night, but a part of my blurry memory and Nora's mention of his bodyguards began to make sense.Those were the men with him when he rescued me. A part of me wanted to question them about the disappearance of those men, but another part cautioned me not to dare.Punches from Gianni's bodyguards swiftly took down the two security men restraining Nora."Why? We are just following orders," one of the security men cried out, feeling wronged. Gianni pushed Melody

Molly’s POV“Gianni…” I began, but he cut me off, his words cutting through me like daggers.“Don’t. This is how you let people walk all over you. The world isn’t ruled by kindness,” Gianni said coldly, and in that moment, I feared there was no hope left for him.The darkness seemed to have consumed the man who was once my world, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was that darkness that drove him to disappear without a trace.Get them out of my sight," he ordered, his anger directed solely at me.I had no regrets for intervening in whatever he had planned. Melody and the other attendants were forcefully removed from the shop, their pleas falling on deaf ears."I think they're lucky," a shopper remarked, and I furrowed my brow in confusion.The attendants had just lost their jobs, and yet they were considered fortunate. It wasn't until one of them whispered to the other,"They would have been reported missing." I overheard her hushed words and realized the gravity of the situation.F

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
Last Updated : 2024-11-17After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 14 – I Don’t Want Her
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
Last Updated : 2024-11-18After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 15 – I Still Hate You
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 POVAfter closing the door, I pressed my ear against it. It was my office, but sadly, I saw the knob turning and shifted aside as Jace opened the door and stepped out.“Molly, I will drive you home,” he said to me. My disappointment was as thick as fog, but I couldn’t hear anything more and couldn’t find an excuse to continue eavesdropping, so we left.Hank was already at home with Roger when I arrived, much to my displeasure. Roger hadn’t showered, so I offered to help.“Let me help you with your shower, Roger.” There was no time to change because Roger looked tired, and I wanted to get him to bed early.Unfortunately, the trip did nothing to help with his attitude. It was still as unwelcoming as before, and he yelled, “I don’t need your help. Hank is here.”Hank stared apologetically at me, but there was always something strange about the way he looked at me. I was relieved when his gaze shifted to Roger.“Little man, you have to show some respect to Molly,” he chastised.Ro

Molly’s POVA few minutes after returning to my office, Agatha entered with food. “Don ordered it for you.”It was too much, so I shared some with her. As I was about to eat, I remembered Roger but was relieved that Hank would be picking him up and dropping him off at home, allowing me to focus on work full-time today.However, I wanted to be home before Roger arrived, so I decided to take some of the food to Gianni and inform him that I was leaving.We had agreed that I would close two hours before anyone else, but when I reached the secretary’s office, Nicole wasn’t there.I knocked, but there was no response, so I decided to open the door. As I entered, I was hit by the scent of tobacco, and a cloud of smoke covered the scattered office. On the floor, I saw Nicole with Gianni on top of her.The smoke filled my lungs, and I began to cough uncontrollably. I couldn’t comprehend what was happening until their lips met. So, Nicole was Gianni’s mistress? What about his wife?I had expect
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 57 – Does Mom Know About Molly?
Nicole’s POV“No one touches Molly and gets away with it, do you understand? She is under my protection,” he growled, his fingers tightening around my neck, depriving me of air.Pain pierced my heart as our eyes locked. So, all of this was just for Molly. Who was she anyway?“What will you tell Mom if I die in your hands?” I managed to choke out, Gio’s expression darkening.I knew his mother held great influence over him due to the love he had for her after losing his father and other family members on that tragic day.Gio had promised to ensure that his mother never missed his dad and had kept that promise until now. Was he going to break it because of that woman?“Don’t forget that I’m the only one who can help you with Don Black,” I reminded him, feeling his grip around my neck loosen slightly. But in the next moment, he threw me harshly against the wall, the impact feeling like my bones were being crushed.His office was in disarray as he started to approach me, his movements remi
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 56 – I wasn’t trained to confess
Nicole’s POVMy mom has been vigilant in monitoring Gio, and I was relieved to witness her intimidating Gio’s doctor to disclose information about his medical condition.Gio’s demeanor confirmed that the doctor had informed him of the threat, but only if he knew the woman had no choice.I observed with joy, Gio’s clenched jaws, feeling a twinge of sympathy for his vulnerability, yet I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction at the advantage it gave me.However, my satisfaction was short-lived when he pressed me after ending the call with his doctor, "What happened between you and Molly? If you lie to me again, there will be consequences."Knowing Gio’s seriousness, it pained me to see how much he cared about Molly, to the extent that he was willing to make me face consequences if I didn’t come clean.I dared to ask him, "Are you in love with her?" His expression was unwavering making it hard for me to detect a lie."That is none of your business. Tell me the truth now, or it's o
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 55 - If you want her to stay, then she stays
Giovanni’s POVIt was hard to gather the evidence to support Molly’s claim but I knew in my heart that she would never lie to me. Molly didn’t have it in her, but I also knew she could lie to protect those she loved.That was a good moral, but I hated for anyone to take advantage of her. As much as I doubted Agatha would have the guts to do the things Nicole mentioned, all the proof pointed at her.Nicole was not an angel either, having been trained by my mother. She was very smart and manipulative but seemed to have evidence backing her claims.I wasn’t there and could only rely on the evidence in front of me but that was when I realized my mistake.There was just one camera at the cafeteria because it was one of the most peaceful places in the company.With no proof or cameras backing Molly’s words, I began to lose hope in her, not until she decided to quit. How could I let that happen?Molly would not want to quit if she was indeed in the wrong and the fact that she was doing it bec
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 54 – why do you keep protecting her?
Molly’s PovGianni’s heated gaze was focused me, I felt slightly embarrassed but the pain was burning.“What happened? Who hit you?”He looked like he was ready to fry someone and before I said a word, Nicole answered. “Her stupid secretary slapped her twice, Gio, she should be fired.”“No, I didn’t do it on purpose,” Agatha pleaded when Gianni’s angry gaze landed on her.“You didn’t do it on purpose? Why don’t you have a taste of your own medicine?”“Gianni, she didn’t slap me,” I said in Agatha’s defense but Gianni stared at me with a look of disappointment.“How long would you allow people to trample over you? She hit you and has to pay for it. Declare her missing,” Gianni raged, his bodyguards moved towards Agatha but I was swift, protecting her with my form.“I said she didn’t hit me. Nicole did it.”“Gio, can you believe that?” Nicole had on an innocent look that scared me. “I am the one who stood up for her and yet, she wants to complicate me. I have witnesses,” she kept looking
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 53 – There is work I need to do
“I need this job, Molly. Injustice is nothing to people like us,” I heard Agatha say, and my heart sank.I had experienced a lot of injustice myself, which was precisely why I couldn't let this happen. But how could I protect her job?The call ended, but it soon began ringing again. “Her job here depends on you, Molly,” Nicole said as she answered the call. Gianni sounded worried.“Molly, why did you not answer my call, and why did you hang up earlier?”I thought of the best excuse to give to not complicate Agatha as I had no way of proving her innocence at the moment.“It’s nothing. I mistakenly dialed your number.” I felt stupid with every word I spoke, watching the satisfied smiles on the faces of our oppressors.Gianni wanted me to be strong, but faced with oppression, I lost my confidence once again.“Then where are you? I’m at your office, and you aren’t here.”‘At my office? Why was he even there?’ I asked myself, catching as Nicole’s expression hardened. Listening to my conver
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 52 – Did you forget who I am?
I tried to ignore the stares from the other managers as I sat near an empty table. Agatha sat across from me and offered to get my food, asking what I liked. Her kindness seemed to stem from my new position as her boss. Despite this, I hesitated, wanting to maintain some independence. "It's okay, I'll get it myself," I replied with a smile. However, as I attempted to stand, a force pushed me back into my chair. "Where do you think you're going?" The only person bold enough to challenge me like this was Nicole, leaving me puzzled about her relationship with Gianni. Yet, Gianni had made it clear that no one should bully me, so I felt Nicole should be no exception. "Why else would I be here? I don't have gossip partners like you," I shrugged, noticing her scowl. Her words cut like sharp razors. "No matter how Gio tries to elevate you, you'll never be more than the trash you are. And remember, he has a wife and a son. Even if he were to leave his wife one day, his mother would only
After Divorce, I Accidentally Married A Cold Billionaire Chapter 51 – she was a homewrecker
Molly’s POV“What if I have a tiny bit of information about Don Black? Will you still go alone?”Gianni turned to face her and, as if contemplating something, responded casually. “Let’s talk in my office.”The excitement in her eyes was infectious, but as she stared at me, her gaze turned dark.It seemed to me that Gianni was surrounded by strange people, but as he reached the door, what he said caused me to freeze.“Agatha, Nicole would be my secretary, but you shall be Molly’s secretary.”“What?” It wasn’t Agatha but rather Nicole who exclaimed in shock. I was just as confused, not knowing what job I was going to do that would require a secretary.“Gianni…” I was about to say, but he had already left. I guess I had bruised his ego by refusing to attend whatever dinner both women wanted to go to.I didn’t see Gianni again after that, but he sent me a text message: ‘Your corporate email has been activated. I will send some documents, and Agatha can help with them. If you don’t underst
