Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 32: Are You His Happiness?
Inside a vast mansion, four individuals awaited Abner and Adrian's return. Riley became the center of attention. Like Adrian's family members, they sat at the dining table as if participating in a staring contest. Anthony King, Tonet, and Fredrick scrutinized Riley's every move, judging her by her appearance.Tonet had short black hair, very full lips, a slender face, and skin as white as pearl. She kept raising a brow at Riley and sometimes whispered in Fredrick's ear. Adrian's stepbrother also had very fair skin. He had light brown hair and was good-looking. However, to Riley, Fredrick paled in comparison to Adrian. Fredrick was constantly smirking and checking Riley's frame. The way he maintained his prolonged gaze felt invasive and inappropriate to Riley. It made her very uncomfortable."Anthony, I'm only looking out for Adrian. I think she must be a gold digger," Tonet remarked, leaning closer to her husband. She pretended to whisper, but her voice was audible enough for Riley
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 33: Harassment
Dinner was far from the appetizing feast Riley had anticipated, even with the tantalizing seafood spread before them. Despite Abner King's valiant efforts to maintain a semblance of order, the air in the dining room was thick with an unspoken tension that seemed to grow with each passing moment.Anthony's eyes were like daggers, piercing through the air and landing squarely on Adrian. But Adrian, seemingly unfazed, continued to fill his plate with food. He deftly peeled a giant prawn, dipped it in a chili sauce, and placed it on Riley's plate. His voice was calm as he said, "Here, it's your favorite, Hun."Forcing a smile, Riley said to Adrian, "Thanks, Hun."After eating the fat prawn, Riley gulped down a glass of white wine. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a table napkin and said, "Um, excuse me. I need to go to the restroom.""Let me show you where it is," Adrian offered. "It's okay, Adrian." Riley grabbed her purse, saying, "I can find it.""I'm sure she is smart enough to

'What? Give Adrian a chance to lead the company?' Fredrick thought. If it were last year, he would never consider this, but with the current state of the conglomerate, he might benefit from the setup.The construction company was losing projects, and Fredrick was at his wits' end trying to figure out how to restore it to its former glory, but Adrian might have a solution that he was unwilling to share. Inside Fredrick's head, he thought, 'If Adrian thinks he can prove himself by temporarily taking over my position, he is wrong. I'll use him, and by the end of his brief leadership, I'll take credit for everything he has done. Haha!''You don't know, Adrian. You don't know what kind of backing I have within the board of directors now.' Fredrick was laughing in silence, but however amused he was, he concealed his inner thoughts and said with a complicated expression, "Fine!""I agree," Fredrick said, his voice dripping with a hidden agenda. "But you have to take care of the company, Adri

Riley took a big whiff of Adrian's shirt, and immediately, her cheeks flushed. Wearing the man's oversized shirt felt like having him wrap his arms around her. At least, that was how Riley felt about it. "Wow," Barely a whisper, she said. "It smells really good."Adrian had a special fabric softener and iron spray for all his clothes. Everything in his closet had a distinctly masculine and spicy fragrance.She swallowed hard, her heart pounding in her chest. With her freshly washed face, she returned to the bedroom, her steps filled with nervousness.Adrian was already in bed, reading a book. He looked at her, and their eyes were glued to each other for seconds. Riley chuckled before raising her arms, asking, "How do I look?"Adrian's eyes sparkled with amusement as he took in Riley's appearance."It's a perfect fit," he declared, his voice filled with satisfaction.The man's undershirt was indeed a tremendous mini-sleeping dress for Riley. It covered her arms and upper thighs; the b

While asleep, Riley kept tumbling and turning. On the left side of the bed, she felt cold and alone. Often, Riley found herself moving to the right, where it was warm. Even though the pillows were a little hard, like an overbaked bread, she unconsciously thought they were soothing. The scent drew her in the most. It made her feel secure, and she slept like a baby through the night. "Hmmm," Riley hummed. Her smile reached her ears as she savored that manly scent that was engulfing her. 'This scent is so familiar,' Riley thought. 'It smells like Adrian.''Adrian?' Riley fluttered her eyes open. When she saw how she was hugging the man like a teddy bear, her leg around his, she silently screamed, 'Oh, my god!'Riley flinched as she shut her eyes back. She remembered the Korean series she had seen, in which the female lead awoke in the same situation. She thought, 'How in the world did the same thing happen to me?'In that drama, the female lead pretended to be asleep as if nothing hap

"I am so honored to meet you, Mister King, and it is such a sincere gesture of Adrian to introduce us," Renee expressed.Riley and Adrian visited Renee at the hospital in the afternoon, and Abner came along. "It is my pleasure to meet the mother of the woman who had captured my grandson's heart." Abner laughed, saying, "You should know that Adrian is very picky. Riley must be a special girl."Abner and Renee talked at the hospital room's dining table, whereas Riley sat with Adrian across from them. "Oh, Riley is always special," Renee smiled as she described, glancing at Riley and Adrian. "But Adrian, he is very kind.""He is. My grandson is stubborn, but he is kind," Abner acknowledged. "You know, I was worried at some point that maybe Adrian would stay single all his life. I have been pushing him to have a family for some time now. So, I am glad that he met Riley."Abner pointed to Adrian and said, "As you can see, my grandson is smitten!""It won't be long when these two tie the k
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 38: Goodnight Kiss
'A goodnight kiss?' Riley's mouth hung open as she looked at Adrian wide-eyed. The fluttering in her stomach intensified her emotions. As she locked eyes with Adrian, her heart pounding in her chest, she stammered, "A... goodnight kiss?"There was a hint of disappointment in Adrian's eyes when she asked, and it made Riley panic. Have she thought about it? Of course! After that morning's first kiss, the scene frequently visited her mind, and she wondered how it would feel if that kiss lasted longer or perhaps was a real deal, not a mere peck or nibble. Adrian averted his gaze, saying, "It's okay, Ri -"Quickly, Riley held Adrian's face, her eyes filled with yearning. After that, Adrian smiled faintly. He raised his upper body so that Riley was lying on his left forearm, and he was leaning towards her. Riley felt every second of that moment. As their faces inched closer, she noticed his warm breath tickling her skin. His eyes became hooded as if he was merely focusing on her lips. W

"Surprise!" Adrian said after uncovering Riley's eyes. Riley's eyes widened in disbelief, and her jaw dropped. Before her stood an entire office floor. The space was a hive of activity, with people bustling in and out, setting up tables and arranging phones. Cubicles stood in neat rows, closed-door offices were already usable, and the company logo adorned the freshly painted walls. Overwhelmed with joy, Riley exclaimed, "Oh, my god. This is real!" Her eyes glistened with tears of happiness, her heart pounding with the realization that her dreams were still attainable. She cheerfully turned to Adrian. He was standing up, supporting himself by leaning into a wall. Riley threw her arms around him and kissed his lips."Thank you so much, Hun," Riley said, her voice filled with gratitude. "The office is beautiful."Adrian smiled. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back twice. He responded, "Glad you like it, Hun."Clint, standing behind them, coughed and said, "Ehem.

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
