November 5, 2024. Chapter 2 -2. Made it. Thank you for your patience. The next update is tomorrow.
Adrian and Riley’s second wedding was held at a garden resort covering more than a hectare of land. The entrance to the event was a three-hundred-square-meter garden maze with a fountain at the center. The maze led to an entranceway beautifully decorated with floral archways. The archways were densely adorned with white, pink, and peach flowers interwoven with green foliage. At the center of the walkway, a musician played on a white grand piano, serving as an elegant focal point and enhancing the venue’s sophisticated atmosphere.The main venue was the Grand Pavilion. Inside were beautifully laid-out round dining tables, each adorned with floral centerpieces. The tables were arranged in curved, concentric patterns that created a flowing, almost river-like path through the space, leading toward a stage. The ceiling was decorated with hanging lights resembling stars, radiating a soft, ambient glow over the entire pavilion. The floor was polished and reflective, enhancing the lighting
“So, who is the next one to marry?” Riley asked the ladies at one table. They were nearing the end of the wedding celebration, having enjoyed two hours of lively entertainment, fun, and games. Adrian was drinking with Kyle at another table with the rest of the Kings, and Gaby was too. So, Riley was with Megan, Brian, Clint, Zia, and the Bradfords. Prince and Trina also sat at the same table with Jake. Samuel Bradford answered, “It’s definitely—” He pointed to everyone at the table before concluding, “My son.”When the group laughed, the former chief justice pointed at Clint, saying, “Son, you’ve had a fair trial, and the verdict is clear: marriage will be your most rewarding case yet!”Clint only chuckled. Everyone did. It made Samuel hiss, “Clinton! You’ve been warned. Love is in the air, and marriage is your fate. Let’s just call it ‘compulsory happiness.’ And you’ll end up making us happy too.” “He gets it,” Carla said to her husband. “Our son will get married if they are ready.
"I thought - I thought!" Zia asked in confusion, her mouth hanging open. Everyone was laughing their hearts out, and their eyes gleamed in delight. Clint walked to her side and explained, "We are sorry, Sweet Lips. This was Grandma's idea.""So, Grandma isn't -" Zia asked, her brows meeting. "Oh, I already have mild cognitive decline, Dear," Grandma Brena slowly said. "But I'm still in stage two. For now, I tend to misplace things and easily forget names - wait. What's your name again?"Zia's mouth fell agape again. She looked at Clint, unsure what to say until Grandma said, "Gotcha! Haha! Works all the time!"Everyone burst out laughing, and Zia was amused. She shifted to Clint and said, "Wow, your family has a talent for comedy.""But honestly, Dear Zia. I am already in stage two," Grandma Brena admitted. "But it's still manageable. Like I said, I forget a few things.""I'm sorry to hear that," Zia said, shaking. "It's part of getting old." Grandma Brena smiled and caressed Zia's
In the afternoon, Clint gave Zia a grand tour of the plantation. She tasted different kinds of grapes, drank wine, and ate cheese to pair. By the time dinner came, she wasn’t hungry at all. The same could be said with Clint. Thus, they both retired early to rest. It no longer surprised Zia that they were given a single room to share. Zia bathed first, and when Clint took his turn in the bathroom, she took out the photos of Clint. Carla had given her the entire album, and she was surely considering taking them home. When Clint came out of the bathroom, Zia giggled at one particular photo. Her face was red as she showed Clint a toddler photo of him, giving a kiss in the air. “Your lips were pouted so cutely,” Zia remarked. “I love this photo of you.”Clint, fresh out of the shower, shook his head. He boldly dropped his towel on the floor, shocking Zia!His dick was already hard!“Really?” Clint asked. “You love me as a child?”He quickly climbed up the bed, hovering over her, asking,
Two months passed. “Let’s do it together,” Zia said to Riley. Riley nodded and said, “Okay, one, two, three!”Zia and Riley stepped out of their restroom cubicles and showed each other their pregnancy tests. They had promised not to look until they held each other’s HCG test kits. Looking at Zia’s pregnancy kit, Riley’s eyes rounded. She screamed, “Oh, my god! You are pregnant!”“And you are -” Zia paused, and Riley noticed how her friend struggled to speak. Riley glanced at her test kit, and seeing it only had one line, she frowned. Her heart ached a little. “Oh, come on. Sometimes, it takes a while,” Zia said while taking Riley’s hand. “Let’s go back to my office and talk about it.”At Zia’s office, Riley asked, “Why are you not surprised about your pregnancy?”Zia chuckled. She said, “Oh. Napa Valley happened. But let’s not talk about me for a while. Let’s talk about you. How long have you been trying to get pregnant?”“Around five months now,” Riley replied. “You used to have
~ “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
“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
“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
Dear Readers, Thank you for your unwavering support and for being part of this incredible journey. I won't say it's the end because we will still hear from Riley and Adrain. However, Chapter 262 concludes Book 1 of Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire. Book 2 will cover Riley and Adrian's lives years later and focus on their children. Yes, this includes their daughter, Freya. In the coming days, I will write a preview and some bonus chapters using the author's notes. Please watch out for it. Now, the question is when will Book 2 start?I have things I need to take care of—for my kids, my baby, and myself. I have been putting off my follow-up check-up and need to get it done. (Somebody will get scolded by the doctor, and that's me. :))We will also be moving back to our old house, which will take a lot of time.I don't want to underdeliver, so I will wait to give an estimated time. I just want to get the abovementioned tasks out of the way first before coming back with
“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
“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
