Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 75: A New Jewelry Company
"William?" Mara repeated. "Y-yes, I know him.""Ma, I've been telling Brian he is my godfather," Claire said while rushing beside her mother. "Mr. William?" Carrie had a puzzled look on her face. Brian saw varied reactions. Mara was shocked. Carrie was confused, but one thing was sure: They all knew William Barlowe. "Ma," Claire stood beside Mara and confessed, "I'm sorry. I did not tell you. Uncle William came to see me last Monday."Claire narrated what happened during her two meetings with William. Then, Mara said, "Oh, my goodness!" She held Claire's arms and defended, "Claire, you must understand. Your godfather is only watching out for you. He was probably shocked that you are suddenly getting married.""Oh," Carrie said with a sad face. "So, William is Claire's godfather? How did that happen?" Brian asked. Mara explained to him that she used to work with William Barlowe's family. She said, "When I got pregnant, William promised to be Claire's godfather. He looks after Clair
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 76: Seeing Brian Again
At Halliport Mega Mall's newly rented space, elegant flowers and large white ribbons decorated the area. Cocktail tables stood evenly outside the store, and attendants served expensive champagne and canapes. "Today, we gather to witness a special moment: the grand opening of Adley & Co. Ladies and gentlemen, honorable guests, dear shoppers, we embark on this exciting journey together in three two one!" a host announced as she stood before the store's entrance. Adrian and Riley cut the long ribbon at the front, and the host declared, "Congratulations, Adley & Co.! And for everyone who celebrated with us, Adley & Co. is giving away a 20% discount on all items until tomorrow! So, come on and shop now!"Riley still could not believe this was real. Her dreams were crushed not long ago, but now, she was back to chasing them again. She had a big smile, and her eyes were brimming with tears as she turned to Adrian. He hugged him and said, "Thank you, Hun. Thank you so much. I love you."Fro
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 77: Sue Riley
Brian and his manager-employee arrived at the Mega Mall at about 1 p.m. Although they knew the opening ceremony was in the morning, they avoided the crowd. Anyone could quickly identify them. Brian did not want their new competitor to discover how they were checking their items. Also, Brian was uncertain if he was ready to see Riley again. He hid in one mall area with a perfect view of the store. In his mind, he read, 'Adley.'From afar, he saw Riley walking in the direction of the store. The sight of her made Brian's heart gallop. 'Was this Riley?' To his surprise, Riley looked very happy and confident. It reminded him of the Riley he once fell in love with. Her beauty radiated, and she looked refined in her white business attire. The men around her stared at her in awe. Brian felt his throat become dry. For a fleeting moment, he felt jealous. He wanted to punch the men who were eyeing Riley! "Fuck, what am I doing?" When he realized what he was thinking, Brian closed his eyes an

"I'm going to kill him," Adrian declared."Adrian? Brian is not worth our time," Riley scolded. She put her hands on her waist and suggested, "What would happen to our children if their father is locked up in jail for murder."The two were discussing Brian's unexpected visit inside the store's mini-office. Clint was with them, listening to their discussion. "Why would I go to prison?" Adrian turned to his assistant and suggested, "Clint will do it for me."Hearing that, Clint choked on his spew. He coughed violently before proposing, "Ah, Mr. King, me? It doesn't have to be me. I know a guy who knows a guy that definitely knows someone who has connections with the mafia."Riley narrowed her eyes at Clint before a laugh escaped her lips. She commented, "Clint is so funny.""I did not think it was funny," Adrian said. "Big secrets should only be kept within people we trust. In any case, Brian needs to learn his lesson. He is going to ask about Adley for sure."He instructed Clint, "Tell

"How did we overlook this, Clint?" Adrian demanded. They were inside Adrian's study, discussing Brian at eight in the evening. "Sir, I apologize. We focused on your stepfamily," Clint said regretfully. "But I'll have someone follow Brian from now on.""Do that and monitor the entire Martin's," Adrian instructed. And how are Brian and Claire? How did they progress to getting married? Haven't you tipped off Mr. Barlowe about Claire's location?"Initially, Adrian intended to let Brian believe he had struck gold with Claire. He planned to make Brian suffer longer by making him marry Claire and raise his debatable child. Why? Because Adrian was still trying to win Riley's love and didn't want Brian to come running back to her.However, things had changed. Adrian was now confident of Riley's love. Consequently, he could accelerate his plans to ruin Claire, Brian, and his family."Yes, Sir. Mr. Barlowe already knows about Claire's location. One of my contacts is the security guard at Mr. Mar

"Next Friday?" Brian repeated. That was the day of the Halliport University's homecoming. Brian intended to use that event to market Brey Jewelry amongst his friends, professors, and other affluent alumni. He certainly hoped that Mr. Ace intended to meet him in the morning so he could still attend the homecoming together with Claire. He tried calling Mr. Ace's assistant back, but the latter would not answer. So, all Brian could do was wait."Who was that, Brian?" Beatrice asked. "That was—um, Mr. Ace's assistant. We are going to meet next Friday," Brian answered. "Really? When?" Mara asked. "You should bring Claire with you."Brian was confused. He stared at Claire, who sipped her milkshake innocently. He shook his head and replied, "Claire's presence may only ignite Mr. Ace's anger. We don't know what Riley had told Mr. Ace about our separation.""Right, I agree," Darwin, Brian's father, commented. "It's better that Brian talk alone to this, Mr. Ace.""Oh. Okay," Mara smiled and s
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 81: Mr. Barlowe's Reply
Hearing Mara and Claire's exchange, Brian felt guilty. He remembered how everything was his fault. Brian pursued Claire and took her virginity. He got her pregnant but was now doubting her because of the godfather.'How selfish of me to doubt Claire,' Brian muttered. He walked in and interrupted, "Mother is right. Everything would have been for nothing if you would leave me."He embraced Claire and said, "I'm sorry for troubling you with my worries, but don't worry. I can handle this situation with Riley. Claire, we are getting married this Saturday. Stop saying things like these. I want to raise my child. You know that I have always wanted to be a father.""I'm sorry, Babe. I'm sorry," Claire said while still crying in his arms. "I don't know what came over me.""It's the pregnancy hormones, Brian. We, women, are like that. Don't take what Claire said to heart. She really loves you," Mara said. "Talk to her for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and help the maids prepare breakfast."It

"Mr. King," Clint said before whispering to Adrian's ear. Adrian's assistant reported what had happened in Brian Martin's life. Hearing the story, Adrian's brows met. Then, he laughed. "Brian got married, huh?" Adrian muttered. He shook his head and said, "Never mind. If he were wise enough to think with his head and not with his dick, he wouldn't have been in this situation in the first place."As much as Adrian wanted to deal with Brian and Claire sooner, he had a lot of work to do. That was why he scheduled his meeting with Brian on the same day as Halliport's Alumni Homecoming. Adrian knew that Brian would be there. He also knew Brian had the same circle of friends as Riley. It was also the perfect opportunity to publicize his relationship with Riley in front of many of their college classmates."There is something else, Mr. King." Clint revealed, "Mr. Barlowe discovered the Private Investigator that Brian had hired, and he... paid him off. That is probably why Mr. Martin never

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
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 258: Zia & Clint (Clarence & Brenda)
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
