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

Riley was in a dream. She saw her young self sinking deep into the water, struggling to swim to the surface. Her dream quickly shifted to her body, lying on the beach with a handsome Adrian King above her. Adrian was leaning closer and was about to kiss her!***Riley jerked awake with her hand on her chest. She panted, and her heart was galloping wildly! She muttered, "That dream again."Two days had gone by since Riley discovered who truly was her mysterious savior seven years ago, and since then, she had dreamed about how it would have looked like if she was awake when Adrian performed CPR. "Dammit, Riley, it was CPR, not a kiss!" She scolded herself. Riley checked the time and was surprised to find herself awake at six a.m. She figured she could visit her mother early, so she bathed and changed quickly. Walking out of her room, she noticed Adrian's room was slightly open. She paused, thinking, 'Is he back?'Adrian had been away for two days. He said he would return today but me

"What's that?" Riley asked Adrian while in the car. Adrian had placed a small paper bag beside him, and Riley was curious. He turned to her and answered, "A gift for your mother. I have to make a good impression, right?"Riley smiled. She leaned back in her seat and said, "That is nice of you."Max, the driver, was at the wheel, navigating the busy streets as Riley and Adrian discussed Renee's condition. Riley had no complaints at the King's Medical Center. Renee was treated like a VIP patient. Her mother's care was superb, from the medical staff to the small details like the food. She could fairly say Renee was recovering well. "She should be practicing how to walk today. That's why I am excited to see her," Riley commented. "Everything has been great so far.""Good," Adrian answered. "I look forward to meeting her."The other day, Riley had finally told Renee about Adrian. She described how Adrian saved her and how he had provided for Renee's medical treatment. Soon, they arrived

"Tell me about your mother," Renee asked. Adrian smiled, his eyes showing a hint of sadness as he said, "My mother. Her name was Freya. I loved her very much -""Loved?" Renee inquired. Minutes passed, and Renee questioned Adrian about his background. Adrian answered, "She passed away years ago.""I'm sorry. What about your father?" Renee sought."My father, Anthony King, our relationship is... complicated. It began when he decided to remarry. His intentions were good at the start, to provide me with a mother figure, but our blended family dynamic was far from harmonious," Adrian explained. "Over time, my stepfamily seemed to win his favor, while I felt myself slipping away from him.""I'm telling you this so you won't be surprised when you meet my family in the future," Adrian admitted. He knew his father would oppose his plans to marry Riley, so he had to be upfront about his relationship with Anthony King. "I envy Riley for having you until this day. You have raised Riley well as

"Need coffee?" Riley asked Adrian with a smile. Adrian paused from working. He said, "If you don't mind.""Of course, I was going to get one anyway," Riley said before turning to her mother. "I'll get you hot chocolate, Mom."Riley stepped out of the room and made her way to the coffee shop on the first floor.Over the weekend, Adrian kept his word. He spent most of his time with Riley and Renee, accompanying Riley to the hospital and getting to know her mother through some light conversation.However, Adrian spent half his time on the laptop. Occasionally, he would go around the hospital, inspecting each department. The rest of the time, he and Riley discussed the progress of the jewelry company. They didn't really focus on getting to know each other.Riley was a bit disappointed, but she understood the importance of work. Besides, she appreciated the King's Medical Center's facilities, the expertise of the medical staff, etc. And they all said the hospital was that way because of Ad

Adrian and Riley continued to chat about their interests, some of which Riley already knew, like Adrian's love for luxury cars, watching sports, and the news. "I have another garage that accommodates all my cars. I can let Max drive you a more fancy one that you may like," Adrian suggested, but Riley wrinkled her nose. "Actually, Adrian. I have been thinking about driving myself now. I am feeling much better," Riley revealed. After she lost the baby, Riley left her car at her mother's place. Often, she took an Uber or a taxi, but that was, before moving in with Adrian."No," Adrian insisted. "Max must be there to drive you."When Riley frowned, Adrian added, "Trust me, please. For everything to work, you must always let Max drive you."It's not that Riley disliked the driver, but she yearned for a friendly interaction. Max was a man in his forties but very fit. He constantly wore a black suit, and he was a bit boring. "I just wish he would engage in conversation.""I'll tell him to t

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

“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

~ “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
