Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 7: Cancelled Engagement
Back at the Plaza Hotel, Riley's mouth hung wide open as she thought deeply. Then, she asked, "Why can't you just fix your engagement with Leni Eros?"Adrian's eyes narrowed. He responded, "I'm afraid the engagement is irreparable.""Did - did you try to reason with Miss Leni Eros?" Riley inquired. "You would not really understand until you meet her. Our engagement is off, and that's final. Now, I need a wife," Adrian said. Riley gasped. She responded, "I - I don't think it's a good idea, Adrian. I'm pretty traumatized right now -""I'm not Brian, Riley. I am a different person - a different man," Adrian responded. "And, as you suggested, this will be some sort of contractual marriage, where expectations are set beforehand."Riley gulped. She looked at Clint, hoping to get some help, but of course, he did not. So, instead, she said to Adrian, "But we don't love each other -""You married for love. How did that turn out?" Adrian pointed out. "Love can betray you... But I won't."Rile

At Renee Allen's Residence. [Miss Allen. The boss would like to know if you have considered his offer?]Riley gasped the moment she read Clint's text. She bit her lip and studied herself in front of the bathroom mirror. It had been five days since Adrian proposed marriage. She had not given him a response, but she meant to decline his offer. In the mirror, she saw a reflection of a woman with woeful eyes. Aside from the dark circles around her eyes, Riley no longer had that radiant glow on her face, the one she used to have during her happy days with Brian. She had been focusing on her mother's care these past few days and was trying hard to forget the pain of her divorce, but she knew healing was still a work in progress.Riley ran her fingers through her blonde hair and realized it was tangled. She muttered, "When did I last go to the salon?"With a sigh, Riley asked, " How could I compare to Leni Eros? Adrian is crazy not to fix things with Leni."Riley knew she was also beauti

Claire's mother, Mara Monet, visited her daughter in the hospital. Brian had left them to take care of company matters. While he was away, Claire took the opportunity to discuss Brian's divorce. Mara, a mirror image of Claire, questioned, "Claire, are you certain? Has that woman truly signed the divorce papers?" "Yes, Ma! Brian will surely marry me," Claire exclaimed. Mara's eyes gleamed. She said, "This is our chance to marry into the rich! I can imagine us living in a mansion soon, having luxury cars, bags, and shoes." "I'm already enrolled in a private school!" Carrie, Claire's sister, pointed out. "Life is going to be so much better for us now," Mara remarked. "Yes, Ma. Brian will take care of us because he loves me. I feel so lucky to have met him," Claire nodded. Then, out of nowhere, she remembered something. She muttered, "How I wish Brian had not given her money for the divorce." "He gave his ex-wife money for the divorce?" Mara inquired in shock. "Yes, Ma. He g

"You need to eat. How can you care for your mom if you don't eat?" Adrian said as he pushed a bowl of ramen in Riley's direction. "This thick broth is good for you. You are so thin."Riley frowned. She looked at her arms and could not deny Adrian's comment. She had lost a lot of weight in the past few days. She accepted the ramen and slowly sipped on the soup. Adrian insisted that Riley take a break from watching her mother, even just a few hours. Thus, they were at a famous Japanese restaurant that was about to close, but Adrian was a King, and the owners were more than willing to accommodate him. When Riley ate, she felt better. The soup and the noodles warmed her stomach. Out of nowhere, Adrian asked, "Are you really going to contest the divorce agreement?" Riley stared at him. They had earlier talked about her encounter with Claire's mother and the threats she gave. She replied, "I just said that out of spite. I don't care about Brian's money. I want to divorce him as soon as po

When Riley mentioned possibly having a child, she felt more embarrassed. In her defense, she explained, "Because you said that your grandfather wants to continue your family's legacy.""We don't have to if you don't want to," Adrian assured her. "My grandfather does not have to know it is not in our plans."'Do I not want a child?' Riley asked herself. Of course, she does, but was it right to have one when there was no love between her and Adrian?"If you want to have a child but do not want to be intimate, we can arrange something," Adrian calmly suggested. "In today's modern age, anything is possible.""Don't dwell on it too much. We will cross the bridge when we get there," Adrian proposed. "Do you have any other concerns?""Can I - can I sleep in a different room?" Riley nervously asked. "Of course. That's a given. You'll have your own room, and I'll have mine," Adrian acknowledged without hesitation. "This marriage will be a respectful one. I will never force you on something th

### FLASHBACK ###More than six years ago in Sweden.Adrian had just turned twenty-one. He loved skiing. Abner King, Adrian's grandfather, bought a vacation home in Sweden because of his love for the sport.The vacation house was a four-story brick mansion settled at the top of the hill. At least once a year, the entire King family visited this vacation home. Adrian had just returned to the hilltop from checking the trail to ensure there was no unwanted debris. He looked up at his grandfather, who stood by the second-floor balcony, and Adrian waved, "Ready for the show, Grandpa?"Adrian's grandfather, Abner King, stood ready with his video camera, symbolizing his unwavering support and pride in his grandson's skills. "Ready when you are, Adrian!" He called out, his voice filled with encouragement. With a confident smirk on his face, Adrian put on his ski helmet and goggles. He hopped in place to check if his skis' were in good condition. After that, he turned to his grandfather and

"Your mother is doing better, Miss Allen. We need to work on her muscles, including her heart. She hasn't been using her body due to the coma, and she has lost a lot of strength.""It was fortunate that she had medical help immediately after experiencing a heart attack. It did not cause any damage to her brain.""It's important to get her moving. We will start with simple occupational therapy.""Next week, we can move your mother to a private room. Mister King had already requested two caregivers to attend to your mother twenty-four hours a day."Riley stood by Renee's hospital bed, listening to three doctors. Over the past few days, three specialists have visited Riley's mother. The doctors were the best in their field, and Riley couldn't be more thankful to Adrian for bringing them in. Both Riley and Renee were cared for at The King's Medical Center. Everywhere Riley went, the staff always smiled at her or asked if she needed anything. Whenever nurses or doctors checked on Renee, t

### FLASHBACK CONTINUATION ###"In jewelry, one must make an impression," Adrian said during his presentation. "Stores must be located strategically at prime locations. Sales reps must be trained to know the quality of jewelry pieces. They must be presentable and know what best to recommend to clients..."When Adrian presented his marketing plan to the class, he received praise. It was great! However, his methods were traditional and only applicable to big companies, but what if you are still a start-up company?'Shops? sales reps?' Riley rolled her eyes while listening. 'I guess he is that rich.'Riley already knew that Adrian had spoken to the professor about working solo. Thus, she was off the hook for what she was about to do. She was determined to beat him at his own game. Adrian might be a business major student, but jewelry was her forte. When it was Riley's turn, she dressed in style and wore fashion jewelry. To encourage participation, she distributed fake paper money to the

Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Book 2 Chapter 11: Charlie Upgraded
In her seat, Charlie felt everyone's eyes on her. While most of those in the College of Business probably already knew about her breakup with Luke, the whole university now knows how she had been dumped and replaced!"It's not so bad," Dawn whispered to her. "Everyone could easily tell he cheated on you.""Yeah, that's right," Frank said softly. "It's a no-brainer.""Now Luke realizes that the Dean favors you. I saw that look of regret on his face when the Dean refused Regina on stage," Mia said, whispering closer to Charlie.Regina was indeed furious. In a way, she was humiliated, but no one could blame the Dean either. In the past, the Dean had always admired her and Luke together. The Dean's intentions were purely out of pride, but unfortunately, the news of their breakup had not reached her.As Charlie sat there, she noticed an intense stare directed at her. She turned to her right, and she locked eyes with Taylor West. He smirked, and Charlie's heart raced, seeing that expressio
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Book 2 Chapter 10: Charlie Smartie
At around four in the afternoon, all the students were instructed to proceed to the auditorium. It was the first. Luxford University had long divided each college, such as the College of Business, which had separate general assemblies and other gatherings from the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering, etc. Later on, Charlie learned that the school had an important announcement to make. “Here, Charlie! I saved a spot for you!” Dawn waved at her from one of the middle seats of the College of Business. Charlie smiled and hurried to Dawn’s side. The seats were filling fast, and unfortunately, the two rows in front of them were the only ones left. When Luke and his friends arrived at the auditorium, they settled in the vacant seats before Charlie. Dawn was the first to react, searching for seats. She said, “There are two seats at the back. Do you want to move?”When Charlie turned around, she saw that the seats were surrounded by a group of arrogant finance students who

“It’s so cold,” Charlie muttered while staring into the balcony. She sipped on her hot chocolate before taking a deep breath. “I wonder how long this bad weather will last.”“I checked the weather. It will rain until tomorrow. Classes will most likely resume the day after,” Taylor said behind Charlie. He drank his hot beverage and sat on another sofa, his eyes also studying the heavy downpour. There was a storm, and so classes were temporarily suspended. Thus, Charlie was stuck at home with Taylor. “So, what’s the story with you, Charlie Blondie? If we are going to be housemates, we might as well get to know each other,” Taylor suggested. Charlie turned to him, her gaze lingering longer than she intended. Taylor usually let his hair fall freely, but that morning, with his hair pulled back into a man bun, his sharp features were in full display. “Mmm. What do you want to know?”“Where are you from?” Taylor asked without looking at her. He resumed drinking his coffee. Charlie made a
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Book 2 Chapter 8: Cooking Disaster
“Eww! This is sticky—wait! I have gloves!” Charlie exclaimed after attempting to mold the ground chicken with her hand. Charlie was in the kitchen of the new apartment at seven. Her roommate was not home yet. She was watching You*Tube, learning how to make cheesy chicken croquettes. Earlier, she had followed instructions, mixing spices and condiments into the meat. Now, she was forming balls and putting a big slice of cheese inside. “Yummy cheese,” Charlie said with a smile. She loved cheese. “Cheese is life!” She claimed it.After making ten balls of chicken croquettes, she prepared the olive oil. Charlie muttered, “I’m getting the hang of this. I’m so good at this.”Charlie happily began frying her chicken croquettes. She was so excited to eat them that she took pictures of her cooking while she was at it, which she happily sent to her family’s group chat. [Look, guys! I’m cooking a very complicated dish!]Riley: [Meatballs? I’m so proud of you, Charlie!]Charlie: [Mom, it’s ch

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
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Book 2 Chapter 4: New House, New Roommate
“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
