"What?" Zia asked in shock. "Say that again.""We are getting married on Wednesday, and I'm inviting you to our engagement dinner tomorrow and our wedding," Riley repeated. Before heading home that night, Riley dropped by the hospital to check on her mother. At the same time, to formally invite Zia. Zia's mouth rounded. Then, she laughed excitedly and exclaimed, "I knew it! I knew it!"Riley was puzzled at Zia's reaction. Things only became clear to her when Zia finally voiced her inner thoughts, "I knew the Brazilian wax would work wonders, but damn! Marriage? That was still unexpected! I should get a man really quick, get eaten out, and get married ASAP.""Pffft!" Riley could not help but laugh hysterically. She said, "No, actually, it had nothing to do with me getting eaten out. We are in love!""Oh, come on!" Zia made a face that was so amusing that Riley kept on giggling. She said, "I bet it helped a lot. The boss was smitten over your taste!""Haha! I don't know what to do with

"What?" Tonet frowned. She looked around at the empty tables and chairs. "What's going on?""Where is everybody?" Fredrick asked, and even her friend, Lucy, expressed the same. "Tonet! Where have you been?" Anthony's voice cut through the silence on the right side of the ballroom. Tonet's eyes darted to the small gathering and identified Adrian, Riley, Abner, Clint, two board members, and a few unfamiliar faces. "I have been calling you!"Tonet's eyes landed on the used empty plates. When she realized the gathering was over, she asked furiously, "How can the dinner be over?""You were late, stepmother," Adrian curtly said from afar. Tonet knew they were late. That was the plan, but how could everyone be already gone? She expected to humiliate Riley in front of fifty guests, not a mere group of ten people!"The engagement dinner started at five in the afternoon. So, of course, the celebration is over!" Anthony pointed out. "Some guests were asking about your presence, and I said you w

When Anthony arrived with Abner at the engagement venue, he saw prominent figures, not just from Halliport but from other cities too. He had heard from Clint that such guests would be attending, but seeing it with his own eyes astonished him. At five-thirty in the afternoon, Adrian introduced Riley to each notable guest. Of course, Anthony and Abner followed to maintain the image of the Kings. In public events, they will always be united, regardless of their differences. "This is Mr. Cedric Ventura and his wife, Sienna," Adrian greeted the first table. "They are the founders of the Ventura Cancer Foundation of Shenmon City. They are also the owners of Ventura Mining Corp.""Mr. and Mrs. Ventura, this is my fiance, Riley." Adrian held Riley's hand before referring to him and Abner. He said, "And this is my father, Anthony, and my grandfather, Abner.""Riley!" Sienna Ventura, a woman in her mid-fifties, rose from her seat and hugged Riley. "I always love your jewelry pieces. I can't ge

When Adrian discovered his stepmother was plotting to humiliate Riley, he knew he had to come clean about Riley's recent divorce. He could always try to prevent Tonet from telling his father, but Adrian knew the truth would eventually come out. Thus, he had requested the wedding planner to give him and Riley a chance to share their story. "How did our couple meet? Was it love at first sight?" The host asked. "Let's give the floor to our engaged couple, Mister Adrian King and Miss Riley Allen."They were settled at the frontmost table. Riley's nervousness was noticeable. So, Adrian leaned closer and whispered, "It's going to be okay, Riley. They will understand."The couple moved to the center of the ballroom. Adrian, in his wheelchair, stood beside Riley while she shared how they first met. She smiled and said, "I met Adrian seven years ago in marketing class. He -" Riley flushed. She shrugged and revealed, "He challenged me."She told the story about how they ended up doing their ma

Adrian was stunned by his father's reaction. It was rare for Anthony to accept his decision because marrying Riley was the opposite of what his father wanted. After all, he wanted Adrian to marry Leni Eros.'Did my plan work? Did I manage to show him that Riley had the qualities to be my wife?' Adrian pondered, his mind filled with uncertainty. Unfortunately, he didn't have the luxury of time to dwell on these thoughts as Anthony suddenly suggested he was tired. "Let's go home. I want to rest now. You both can eat at the house," Anthony said, referring to Tonet and Fredrick. He glanced at Abner and announced, "Father, we shall leave." As he turned his heel, he said, "Adrian, Riley. We shall go." Anthony did not look at Adrian. It was as if his father was ashamed to have sided with him. However, whether or not it was an isolated case, Adrian saw it as an opportunity. Adrian moved his wheelchair to chase after his father, who had already exited the ballroom. At the lobby, Adrian caug

Earlier, at Anthony's mansion. Anthony couldn't sleep. The truth was, he had been struggling to rest since his confrontation with Adrian the other day. He was dog-tired, but his mind kept recounting his son's words. 'Let's face it. You haven't been a father to me for a very long time.' 'Are you really my father? If my mother were here, she would have shared my happiness. For once, do something a father would do and actually care about what I want.'What bothered him the most was how other people knew Adrian more than he did, yet he was his father!It had been two hours since he had been lying in bed, trying to sleep, but it was hopeless. Anthony got up and, instead, left the room he shared with Tonet. He went to the master bedroom.Anthony had married Tonet, but he protected his departed wife's memories by preserving the master bedroom precisely as Freya had kept it. When the door to the room opened, Anthony smiled. Memories of Freya's beaming face flooded his mind. Anthony did no

While Riley waited in the bridal car, her engagement ring entranced her. The delicate pink gem shimmered with brilliance. Each glint of light, like a tiny star, danced across its perfectly cut surfaces, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of radiance. "The saturation is nice," Renee remarked. She sat with Riley throughout her journey from the Marriot Hotel to the Eternal Light Chapel of Halliport. Riley smiled at her mother, who was familiar with a gem's quality. She said, "Yes, and its cut is beautiful. It's Adrian's mother's ring. His Dad gave it to us last night.""I guess that's a good sign," Renee remarked. "It is," Riley nodded. "Adrian and his father had not spoken to each other sincerely in years. Last night was a huge difference. I don't know what changed, but I'm happy for Adrian.""I'm happy for both of you too," Renee said. "I hope my worries about his stepfamily are not a major concern."The door to the bridal car opened. The wedding planner said, "It's time, Miss Allen. S

After Brian left, Riley finally exited the car again. As she climbed up the stairs, Clint and Zia made their way to her from another exit within the chapel, both panicking. "Riley, why are you taking so long?" Zia's voice was filled with concern as she asked."Um, the boss sent me," Clint revealed. "Oh." Riley made a face and answered, "Um. I saw Brian come by the gate. I did not want him to see me." She squinted at Zia, asking, "You did not tell him, did you?""No, you told me not to," Zia replied. "I'll check on it, Miss Allen," Clint offered. "Don't worry. The security guards had been instructed not to let anyone in."Zia guided Riley and the wedding coordinator to the door. After adjusting her elegant gown, Riley braced herself. She placed her hand over her heart, realizing that in a few short moments, she would be... Mrs. King, embarking on a new chapter of her life.From the door, Riley could hear the familiar strains of the music playing in the background. A smile tugged at h

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

“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
