Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 36: The Kiss Was Great
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

'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.

"I thought you were full?" Adrian asked while Clint was driving them out of the opera house. Riley's stomach was growling, a low rumble that seemed to echo in the quiet car. She chuckled at the sound, saying, "I was. I had a sandwich with Mom in the afternoon, so I didn't eat much at our early dinner, but I suppose I'm hungry again.""You only ate a salad," Adrian pointed out. He directed Clint to drop by the nearest hotel where they could have a late-night meal for Riley and him to eat. The closest was the Marriot Hotel, which was strangely swarming with people at ten in the evening. "Looks like there is an event, Sir," Clint said. "Shall we go to another hotel?"Adrian frowned. He answered, "It's out of the way. The restaurant should be empty. Call the manager and arrange for someone to meet us.""Yes, Mister King," Clint answered. As Adrian anticipated, no one was in the restaurant because it was closed. However, being who he was, the hotel manager only opened the restaurant for

"I - I -" Riley frowned. How can she tell Adrian that she was thinking about whether he could get a boner?"Um. It's nothing," Riley averted his gaze, but Adrian grabbed her wrist. "Riley." Adrian chuckled. "What is going on in that head of yours? Tell me. I promise to keep an objective mind."'Well." Riley could feel the heat crawling up to her ears. She moved closer to Adrian and whispered, "Leni said you have an erection problem, but I wasn't dreaming when I felt your - your - you know when we kissed?"Riley told Adrian about her encounter with Leni Eros and their exchanged words. Then, the man had this very amused expression on his face. He asked, "Are you worried about that?""No, I'm - I'm confused." She laughed and teased, "I mean, you didn't stuff a cucumber in there, right?"Adrian chuckled at her response and asked, "Did you see any cucumbers in my bed?""No!" Riley laughed, but Adrian pulled Riley closer to him while she was at it. "Come here," Adrian urged. "Remove your s

Riley was heartbroken. How could she not be? She felt robbed of a better love and life. What if she fell in love with Adrian instead of Brian? What if Adrian never met an accident? What if Brian did not own up to saving her?After Adrian told her the truth, she couldn't help but break down in tears."I can't—I can't accept it. It should have been you! It should have been you!" Riley's voice cracked with the weight of her emotions. Her hands were tightly clenched against her chest, and her breaths came in uneven gasps. "Riley." From his wheelchair, Adrian dropped to his knees to level with her. He cautiously held her arms, asking, "Did I say something wrong?""No!" Riley held on to Adrian's arm. She said, "I am just so mad at Brian! He lied to both of us."Her lips quivered, and she said without hesitation, "I just felt that it should have been you, you and me, and not Brian."Following her response, Adrian pulled her into his embrace. He said, "I couldn't agree more, Riley, but at th

"Will you have me?"It amazed Riley that after everything, Adrian was still considerate of her feelings and decisions. He wasn't the type to decide on her behalf and assumed things based on their current status because, obviously, they were already behaving like a real couple. 'Adrian is really a good person,' she mused. Riley gently placed her hands on his cheeks. Her eyes were glued to his captivating gray orbs. With a hint of a smile, she whispered, "I also want us. I want to explore the possibilities of what we could have been if not for your accident. Sadly, we can't go back in time, but It's not too late.""It's not too late," Adrian agreed. He smiled and drew her closer, his forehead resting on hers. "We are here, and we are still young.""So, yes. I'd be happy to have you. No more pretending," Riley nodded in reply. Yet again, tears streamed down her face. This time, however, they were tears of joy, knowing she would face a better tomorrow with a wonderful man. She embraced A

As Taylor had promised, he was up early and about to leave for basketball practice at seven a.m. He was already in his basketball jersey, but given the bad weather, he wore a jacket over his frame. He was really tall. At six feet, he towered over Charlie.Taylor caught Charlie having another food delivery. He frowned and said, "It's not healthy, you know. You should cook on your own. There are a lot of videos on You*Tube."Charlie unpacked her food and said, "Oh, I can cook. I just haven't done my groceries yet."That was a lie. Charlie wasn't good at cooking, but she knew it was about time to learn. She had to admit it: Sofia and Ashley somewhat spoiled her by doing most of the cooking. Her contributions to the previous apartment were mostly cleaning and washing the dishes. "Anyway, I have to go," Taylor said, his voice still a little hoarse. I'll be back at noon.""I won't be here," Charlie said. "Good!" Taylor said before leaving. Well, she did not die. Thank god. Charlie conclu

At the condo, Charlie and Taylor sat in their seats, staring at each other. Both of them were clearly second-guessing the situation.“I still can’t believe I ended up in this mess,” Charlie muttered. “You are the worst possible roommate I could ever have.”“Really?” Taylor reacted. “This is given your experience of being roommates with other men?"“You -” Charlie gritted her teeth, her face burned in anger. “Why don’t you tell me, Charlie Blondie, why were you looking for another place to stay just weeks into the first semester? Where were you staying before this?” Taylor scoffed and suggested, “Maybe your roomies couldn’t stand you, and you got kicked out!”“You don’t know what you are talking about!” Charlie retorted. “I have my reasons, and it’s none of your business.”Clearing his throat, Taylor said, “Well, anyway, Charlie Blondie -”“Stop calling me that!” Charlie snapped. “It’s a way for me to differentiate you and Charlie Slade,” Taylor answered. “Who is Charlie Slade?” Cha

###FLASHBACK: TWO DAYS AGO ###“You have to try to get out of trouble! I’m tired of the school calling me every time…” Taylor’s father was ranting about the recent fight he had been involved in at school. Taylor was rarely home, yet this lecture served as his welcome-home speech. Taylor, however, barely paid attention.His phone suddenly rang. He interrupted his father, saying, “Dad, hold on. Tanya is calling.”“Tanya?” Taylor answered the call while his father was still talking. He could not focus and rushed the call altogether. “Taylor - a Charlie King - to co-rent the condo,” Tanya said on the other line. “Charlie?” He did not know why, but a certain Charlie flashed in his head. Charlie was a third-year engineering student, and they were in the same Structural Analysis class. Coincidentally, this Charlie had asked him about any vacancies at Fernwood Residence. So, Taylor immediately assumed it was him. “Yeah, I know Charlie,” Taylor said. It did not help that Tanya was out of

“Your new apartment is great!” Charlie’s sister complimented. Charlie gave her sister a virtual tour of the new place through a video call. It was late at night, but she was pumped up. She could not sleep!“I know, it’s clean and spacious. I guess it’s worth $3000. Haha!”“Pfft,” her sister, Freya, scoffed. “I think it’s cheap.”“No! Haha!” Charlie laughed again. “Luxford is not as developed as Halliport. It’s only known for the university. So, rent should not be this expensive, but I’m just glad I found a place to stay.”Charlie smiled as she sat on the sofa. She looked around, the wind blowing on her face from the living room balcony. She said, “I feel like this condo and this view will make me finish the rest of the year in Luxford.”She only had one year left, and it would be really inconvenient to change schools in between. So, maybe, just maybe, she could bear it. Charlie chatted with her family next. They had many questions, especially about her friends, but she said, “I just

Charlie looked up and met the guy’s gray eyes. His eyes were so beautiful, but this man was angry… and had a cut on his lip!‘Taylor West?’ Charlie silently named. Her heart raced as she mused, ‘How did he get into a fight early in the morning?’“I said, watch where you are going!” He repeated. His tone was sharp, and his eyes narrowed. He grabbed a younger student next to him and demanded from Charlie, “Apologize to him!”“I’m sorry. I was in a hurry,” Charlie explained. “It’s okay. It’s okay, Taylor, I’m fine,” the younger student said. “Head back to class,” Taylor told the young man and the latter nodded. He smiled at Charlie before leaving. “Look, I’m sorry. I need to go to class,” Charlie said. Taylor did not respond, so she took off.“Do I know you? You look familiar?” Taylor later asked. Charlie turned around and raised her brow. She answered, “No, we have never met.”“Okay, well, watch where you are going next time,” he said curtly. Just then, a group of students emerged

“Space, huh? You needed to focus on basketball?” Charlie reacted with sarcasm. “Wait, don’t tell me you just met this girl today? Because we just broke up the other night!”Following Charlie’s arrival, The Nook & Brew Café fell silent. She caught a look of horror on her best friends’ faces—Ashley and Sofia.Luke’s hold on Regina loosened. He looked down before meeting Charlie’s gaze and admitted, “I’m sorry, Charlie. I could not tell you. I… I did not want to break your heart.”Charlie scoffed. She felt tears brimming in her eyes, but she held it. Instead, she allowed her anger to take over. “You could have just said so and not leave me wondering what I did wrong!”“I deserve the truth, Luke. I have been good to you for the past two years.” She pointed at him, adding, “You know it!” Then Charlie eyed Luke’s friends, including their girlfriends. She added, “And they all know it!”“And you two!” Charlie called Ashley and Sofia’s attention. “It’s obvious that you knew, but you chose to l
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Book 2 Chapter 1: Space
‘I love you, Charlie, and you’ll always have a special place in my heart, but I need space. Let’s break up,’ Luke’s words the other night rang in Charlie’s head. ‘I need to focus on my studies and basketball. Scouts will be in town this year, and this might be my only chance to get into the NBA. I hope you understand, Charlie.’He meant that basketball would be his life from that moment on, and she was nothing more than a distraction.To think, Charlie was ready to introduce Luke to her family. Luke would have been overwhelmed, but sadly, he ended it before he could truly know the real Charlie Rae King. Charlie was watching the game between Luxford University’s The Atomic Heat and The Wall Street Warriors. Their school had four basketball teams, and each year, they competed for the chance to represent the school at the National College Basketball Association. Luke Sullivan was the captain of The Wall Street Warriors. They represented the business courses, whereas The Atomic Heat rep
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire The Bad Boy Next Room
Hi Guys, Glad to be back. While writing Riley’s book, I had initially wanted to write Charlie and Freya’s story continuously. However, I ended up taking a break. Hence, we will be cutting them into Book 2 and Book 3. Still, the books will be attached to Riley and Adrian's novel. Unless I get sick or have an emergency, I won’t take a break in between, and the stories won’t be long. Since I already had Charlie’s story in mind, we will start with her. I aim to finish Charlie’s story by the end of February, and then we will begin with Freya’s story in March. We will skip years into the timeline when Charlie is already in college, experiencing an independent life in another city. Ladies and gentlemen, I am both nervous and excited to present to you, “The Bad Boy Next Room.” This is a genre that I have always wanted to write—Young Adult. So, here it goes, and I hope you will love it. ***Blurb:“True pain doesn’t come from enemies but from those we hold dear.” Twenty-one-year-old Cha

“Happy 18th Birthday, Freya!”The crowd cheered while Freya stood on the stage. Her parents, Adrian and Riley, were beside her. Freya embodied youthful elegance and charm, a rising star in high society at eighteen. She dreamed of taking over her mother’s jewelry business one day.In her late forties, Riley’s presence was captivating and serene. Her thick, golden blonde hair cascaded in soft waves, and fine lines around her bright eyes added wisdom and warmth to her beauty.Adrian stood tall and confident, his well-built physique reflecting years of self-care. His long, tousled dark-brown hair framed his ruggedly handsome face. Holding the microphone, Adrian expressed, “Today is my first princess’ 18th birthday. I could not be happier for Freya.”With a smile, he turned to Freya and added, “Freya, since you are now eighteen, you can start dating -”Adrian paused and noticed Freya’s excitement. He smirked and restarted, “You can start dating when you are twenty-five.”“Hahaha!”“Twenty
