### FLASHBACK CONTINUATION ###"In jewelry, one must make an impression," Adrian said during his presentation. "Stores must be located strategically at prime locations. Sales reps must be trained to know the quality of jewelry pieces. They must be presentable and know what best to recommend to clients..."When Adrian presented his marketing plan to the class, he received praise. It was great! However, his methods were traditional and only applicable to big companies, but what if you are still a start-up company?'Shops? sales reps?' Riley rolled her eyes while listening. 'I guess he is that rich.'Riley already knew that Adrian had spoken to the professor about working solo. Thus, she was off the hook for what she was about to do. She was determined to beat him at his own game. Adrian might be a business major student, but jewelry was her forte. When it was Riley's turn, she dressed in style and wore fashion jewelry. To encourage participation, she distributed fake paper money to the

###FLASHBACK ###Seven years ago, Halliport University participated in a clean-up drive by the beach. Many students signed up for it because it earned them extra credit. Riley and her friend Krista had just finished picking up trash by the shores when Riley said, "I could use a refreshing drink. Let's go to the bar!""Yeah, me too," Krista said. "Let's go!"Krista was an art student, just like Riley. They had many classes together, so Riley could say that Krista was one of her good friends in school. They had surrendered their collected trash to another school representative before going to the floating restaurant and bar. The bar was at the end of a long jetty, and many students made their way there, some walking while some riding their bikes. When Riley and her friend made it to the bar and restaurant, she bumped into two famous, celebrity-like men who were in their college: Adrian King and his friend, Brian Martin. By that time, Riley had already understood how famous they were.
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 16: Collaboration Request
Back to the present. At King's Enterprises Headquarters. Adrian held his chin high as he moved his wheelchair into the conference room. There was an ongoing commotion, and he knew why. "This is the third project the ACE Construction Firm has taken from us.""Well, the same company owns a metal factory. It's understandable how they could offer a lower bid." "It isn't just the bid!" Adrian's father, Anthony King, said. "From what I have gathered, the ACE Construction Firm offered to redesign the Megaworld Entertainment Plaza. They found a fault in the initial design!""They gained favor because they went above and beyond their service!" Anthony added. "Why didn't we see that? Huh? Didn't we hire the best engineers? That is a hundred-billion-dollar project we lost!""Fredrick, Brett? Answer me!" Anthony questioned.Just then, Adrian appeared before them. His calm expression silenced everyone. He found his place, and Clint sat beside him. Then he asked, "I thought the meeting was at ei

[Miss Allen, you must pick up your belongings, or Mr. Martin will throw them away.]On a Wednesday morning, Riley read the text from the Human Resource Department of Brey Jewelry & Apparel Co. She checked the wall clock and groaned, "Again. It's this room. It's making me oversleep."It was 10 AM. Ever since Riley moved into Adrian's home, she had been waking up late. "How could Brian be so heartless? Did he forget that I was his wife for four years? He cheated on me, divorced me, and now, he wants to throw away my things?" Riley muttered.She replied: [I'll pick up my things later today].Her dismissal was never formalized, so Riley never got to collect her belongings from the office. Riley hurriedly bathed and got changed. When she descended the stairs, she noticed Linda going over some photos on an old album from the living room. "Oh, Riley, good morning!" Linda greeted. "Good Morning, Aunt Linda." Riley looked around and asked, "Has Adrian left?"Riley hadn't seen Adrian for two
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 18: Who Saved Me?
"Ri, is this hospital safe?" Renee asked while Riley was sketching another jewelry design.Riley raised a brow and asked, "Of course, Mom. Why did you ask?"Renee frowned and said, "I - I." She leaned back in her hospital bed and resumed, "Don't want another heart attack."Riley's mother spoke better now, but her voice was still weak. Hearing her mother's concern, she sat on the bed next to Renee and reassured, "We are in a new hospital, Mom. It's a safe and secure environment. No one from Brian's mistress will disturb us. And you have Miranda and Loraine, who are always here for you."Miranda and Loraine were Renee's caregivers. They took turns tending to Renee, especially when Riley was not around. "No one can enter?" Renee asked. "Yes, mom. Adr - I mean, I had given them specific instructions not to let anyone else enter your room," Riley revealed. "Rest assured, the hospital has stringent security measures in place. Only the necessary medical staff are allowed to see you."Renee
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 19: Adrian's Response
### FLASHBACK ###More than six years ago. Over the past few months, Riley's secret rescuer had given her four boxes of chocolate. After the first instance, she received her requested Matcha flavor a month later. From her marketing class, the following two chocolates were taped to her school locker.Each chocolate box had a friendly note. 2nd chocolate box: [Matcha. Your special request. Stay away from danger, Riley.]3rd chocolate box: [Just checking in on you, Riley.]4th chocolate box: [Glad you are not trying to kill yourself these days, Riley.]Sometimes, Riley thought her secret savior was acting like the big brother she never had. Nonetheless, she happily ate her treat each time she received one. Of course, she did not get any chocolates in each semester break. In the third semester of her second year in college, Riley walked into the university with people gossiping around. "Adrian King won't be back to school. He met an accident. They say he is going to be paralyzed.""No!

Riley was stunned by Adrian's reply. She asked, "What?" "You see, two weeks after my surgery, my grandfather informed me of a package from Japan that had arrived in Halliport. I remembered you," Adrian recounted. His voice was calm, and he spoke unhurriedly. "So, when Brian called me next, I told him to give you one box of chocolate.""I told him the truth, that I rescued you from drowning," Adrian revealed. "But I forbade Brian from telling you it was me. I wanted to tell you personally.""However." Adrian sighed and explained, "Days later, I fully understood the gravity of my situation. I could no longer play basketball. I can't join marathons and that - that I might be stuck in a wheelchair all my life.""I lost interest in everything, Riley. So, when Brian and I next talked to each other, I told him to stop giving you chocolates and never tell you how I saved you. I told him I did not know when I could return to Halliport," Adrian informed. "Perhaps his actions were meant to cover

Riley wasn't acting like herself after discovering that Adrian had saved her seven years ago. As they ate dinner, she kept stealing glances at Adrian but would avert her gaze when he looked up at her. Sadly for Riley, Adrian met her eyes towards the end of their late-night dinner. Riley swore she became restless. "Riley, I'll be out of town tomorrow for two days. There is a business deal that I need to attend to," Adrian revealed. "But when I return, I promise to spend more time with you.""We need to get to know each other," Adrian reminded her. "By the time I return, we will only have three weeks before my grandfather arrives.""I'm sorry that I have been busy lately, but this business deal is very important to me," Adrian revealed. "Is it at the hospital? I haven't seen you at the King's Medical Center either," Riley softly inquired. "No, it's something else. I'll tell you about it later," Adrian said. The two drank chamomile tea before Adrian suggested, "When I return, I want

Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 262: Missing Grandpa
“Happy Birthday, Grandpa. I love you and miss you,” Freya said while putting a flower on Abner’s grave. Charlie followed, putting her teddy bear down. She said, “Grandpa, you can have Mr. Bear. So you won’t miss us too much.”Jasper followed, leaving a card that he had drawn for Abner. He asked, “Hey, Grandpa. Is it always a buffet in heaven?”The adults behind the kids laughed. Jasper turned to his parents, objecting, “Grandpa told me there’s a buffet in heaven!”“Dad did say that a lot,” Anthony remarked, chuckling. More than a year had gone by since Abner’s passing, and they all visited him in his mausoleum, the same one that housed his departed wife, Marilyn King. Charles and Realyn were also present, bringing along their son. Carson had made a Lego mansion for Abner. He placed it above his tomb and said, “Grandpa, I made a house for you. Hope you like it.”Kian moved forward next. He pouted as he said, “Great-grandpa Abner, since you left, the house has been a bit boring. Daddy
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 261: Freya’s Birthday
“Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, Dear Freya. Happy birthday to you!” On Freya’s 6th birthday, everyone gathered again. The celebration was held at the very first Diamond Hotel in Halliport. Freya stood on the stage with her parents and siblings. She wore a crown over her head and a ballroom gown fit for a princess. She had a bright smile before she blew the candles on her cake. The audience erupted into applause, after which the party host asked, “What was your wish, Princess Freya?”“That I will grow strong and healthy so I can be a businesswoman someday!” Freya declared, adding to everyone’s amusement. Praises echoed in the ballroom. Carrying both his sons, Adrian struggled to clap his hands, but Jasper and Kian did it for him. “Yay! My turn to blow!” Charlie said. She was beaming while being held by Riley. “No, me!” Jasper screamed. “No, me!” Kian said. The guests laughed out loud at how Riley and Adrian’s children wanted to blow out the candles

Over a year passed. “Five minutes more, and we are done,” Adrian said as he continued to run on the treadmill. “Honey, I can’t believe I’m back to running for two straight hours again,” Riley said while catching her breath. Her body was sweating profusely, her athletic wear soaked altogether.” It was the same for her husband. Adrian’s skin was glowing in his sweat, and with him running half-naked, he looked mighty fine. “Rrr. Somebody looks hot,” Riley remarked while checking out her husband. “We should have sex after shower.”“We should,” Adrian said while chuckling. “The last time we tried to make love, Freya walked in on us.”“We should learn to lock the door,” Riley said, but locking the doors was easier said than done when Freya always demanded their time and attention whenever they were home. Since delivering the Triplets, Riley had always asked Adrian to be her exercise buddy. Although her postpartum belly has still not fully recovered, she is getting there. The best part i
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 259: Riley’s Baby or Babies?
“What? Why can’t we see Riley before the delivery?” Renee asked, furious. “Why is she delivering early?”“It’s a delicate pregnancy, Aunt, and she is going into operation right now. Don’t worry. I will take care of Riley,” Zia said. Zia knew that Riley had hidden the truth about her pregnancy. During her second trimester, Riley had attempted to wear baggy clothes to conceal her growing belly. Zia also knew Riley purposely evaded seeing her parents and aunt personally in the recent months.Only Zia, Clint, Abner, Adrian, and Riley knew the truth. Zia even colluded with Riley, giving her a fake ultrasound report.Now, Riley was already 34 weeks pregnant. It was too early for her to give birth, but it had to be done. Going further into the pregnancy was too dangerous. “What’s her condition? Is it polyhydramnios?” Renee asked. This was one of Renee’s suspicions, but Zia always found a way to avoid the topic. “It’s one of those rare pregnancies, Aunt - Oh! I hear Riley crying. I better g

Time passed again, and it was finally time for Zia to give birth to her twins. Zia had no complications during her pregnancy. Thus, she decided to give birth vaginally. She was prepared for the worst. Zia had delivered countless babies and witnessed different kinds of mothers, including those who screamed, cried, prayed, counted numbers, and more. So, Zia was quiet despite the labor pains. However, it was not the same for her husband, Clint.Zia wanted to avoid an epidural if possible, saving it as a last resort. During labor, she hummed and took deep breaths. They were in their birthing suite, with Clint holding Zia’s hand. Between the two of them, it looked like Clint was about to give birth. He was sweating and already jittery. He said, “Zia, you are so strong. I love you so much.”Soon, it was time for Zia to push. She gave it her all. Clint and her doctor helped her through it. However, after several attempts, the first baby was still not coming out! Zia’s doctor decided to perf

“Honey? What are you doing here?” Adrian asked, surprised to see Riley stepping onto the private jet. He was scheduled for a trip to check on the project’s progress in Hawaii, so her unexpected arrival caught him off guard.“I’m coming with you!” Riley declared. “It’s been a while since I accompanied you on business trips. Why not mix business with pleasure? And don’t worry, Freya is staying with Aunt, and so is Grandpa. I figured it was about time we had more alone time together.”She beamed and settled on the seat next to Adrian. She pressed her lips into his ear and pointed out, “You do realize that I am about to ovulate. This is the perfect time to have lots of sex!”“Honey,” Adrian said. “I know about that. I was coming back tomorrow morning.”“Yes, but why not have lots of sex in paradise?” Riley pointed out. “Maybe we need a little adventure.”She scanned the private jet, and after finding Adrian’s new male assistant, she whispered, “We can have, you know, sex on the beach, on t
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 256: Renee’s & Anthony (Theodore Andre)
“Riley, Aunt Renee needs us,” Adrian revealed in the middle of the night. Riley was fast asleep when Adrian awoke her. She got up immediately, and a worried expression appeared on her face. She asked, “What happened to Aunt?”“Her blood pressure went up, so the doctor decided to deliver the baby prematurely,” Adrian said while getting off the bed. “Dad just called. He is in a panic.”Riley frowned. Because Zia was very pregnant and her stomach was growing bigger, she had to hold off from delivering babies, but she was still on top of her aunt’s condition. She had also appointed the second-best doctor to attend to Renee. “I’ll call Zia,” Riley said while leaving the bed. Time had passed again. Her aunt’s pregnancy was already thirty-four weeks, not yet full term. Naturally, Riley was worried. She had heard Gaby’s story about their struggle with Kenneth and the triplet’s birth, so she was afraid her aunt would go through the same situation. “Zia? Thank you for picking up,” Riley said
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 255: Zia and Clint’s Surprise
~ “Tonight I just want to take you higher Throw your hands up in the sky Let’s set this party off right” ~ Previously hidden amongst his groomsmen, Clint emerged from his flock of male friends and cousins to sing and dance to the tune of 24k Magic by Bruno Mars. This was Clint and Zia’s wedding celebration. They did not wait long and wed while Zia was still ten weeks pregnant. Clint and Zia wanted to make things formal before Zia’s belly grew too big. Clint glided down the center aisle of the ballroom with casual, effortless confidence. His steps were smooth and rhythmic, exuding a cool, controlled vibe as he moved to the beat. He and his crew of groomsmen dancers execute sharp, synchronized moves that give the choreography a sense of unity and camaraderie.With every slick move, their smiles were evident. They occasionally winked at the crowd, giving off that suave look. The wedding was held at the Marriot Hotel, and over five hundred guests were invited. Most guests were Clint
