LiLhyzJuly 11, 2024. After midnight chapter. Hehe. I made it. Thanks for everyone's concern. Today's checkup was not related to my son's health problem but more to his mental development. Aside from having a lung disease, he has ASD Level 1 and ADHD. He is highly functional, but we do need to get therapies done for him to grow independent. Back to the book, the next update will be tomorrow. Kisses!

"This is a great opportunity," Clarisa Astor-Barlowe said while walking into the Plaza Hotel. "Yes, but who is this person? Why so mysterious?" William asked his wife. "He said you would be surprised! So, I will keep it a secret until we arrive at our meeting place." Clarisa put a hand on her waist and said, "Come on."They were meeting a potential buyer for Astor Drug Store. Not that they were planning to sell, but since someone expressed interest, Clarisa and William considered having a partnership or selling at a very high price. Strangely, though, Clarisa said the buyer would like to remain mysterious, at least to him. Why?Sadly, William could not get it out of his wife. So, he followed her lead into a small conference room. A man with a solemn look was waiting for them. He said, "My name is Max. The boss will be here any minute now."William and Clarisa waited anxiously. It took only five minutes before the doors to the conference room opened. A woman with blonde hair entered.
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 100: The Bill
"Your husband paid for Claire's surgeries and her family's living expenses - food and rent. He also shouldered for their apartment at Court Residence recently," Adrian reported. Much information was unveiled, including how William had asked his secretary to pay off the laboratory technician at Halliport General Hospital to fake the paternity test. Adrian's men had acquired information from the laboratory technicians, comprising screenshots of their communications with William's secretary.The proof was undeniable, especially since Clarisa had William's secretary in her contact list. Half an hour had passed. Riley had helped Clarisa to her seat. Mrs. Barlowe reviewed every evidence on the table, her body shivering from the apparent betrayal. Everyone could see she was boiling in anger. Riley's heart ached for Clarisa. She sympathized, "I'm sorry we had to tell you. We did not want to intrude in your relationship, but we couldn't turn a blind eye."She explained how Claire ruined he
Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire Chapter 101: The Breakdown
Brian carefully studied the breakdown of the bill. He gulped and turned to Adrian, asking, "One hundred thousand dollars to rent your McLaren Senna?"Adrian shrugged and responded, "You do realize I let a trash ride my car, not just one but two. It's going to undergo a thorough disinfecting."Out of the corner of Brian's eye, he saw Riley chuckle, but she quickly covered her mouth to hold her amusement. The succeeding bullet points were the salaries of his men. Clint, the assistant, got a whopping bonus of one hundred thousand dollars to play the part of Claire's suitor. The rest had ten thousand dollars each. Brian glanced at Clint, who stood by the door the whole time. The assistant remarked, "Mr. Martin, Claire had nearly drugged me. I deserve premium pay for risking my life."All Brian could do was take another deep breath. He returned to study the breakdown and saw how Adrian included the function room rental, gas, and paperwork. Some of it was given to Riley. After all, she had

Upon arriving at the hospital, Adrian instantly ordered Zia to attend to them in the ER. “Zia, I think Riley is pregnant. Check on her, please.”Zia’s eyes rounded. She excitedly asked questions about Riley’s menstrual cycle. After a while, Zia said, “It would be too early to do a scan. If you are pregnant, all we can see is an empty sac, but we can do a blood test. Then, return after two weeks for an official ultrasound.”“Okay,” Riley raised her arm and said, “Draw my blood, doctor.”Zia was efficient. She had the laboratory run the test and returned after twenty minutes. Then, she lazily walked towards Riley and Adrian. “Oh, nice. Slow motion,” Clint remarked on the side, his tone teasing. Zia, who had not noticed him there, ended up frowning at him, her expression a mix of annoyance and amusement. “The results,” Zia said while giving the envelope to Riley. Riley’s heart raced as she opened the results. She glanced at her husband and bit her lip before finally flipping the paper.

Earlier that day. "You deny it, yet there is proof!" Beatrice was fuming as she showed Mara the receipts of the pawned items found in their apartment. "These are two Rolex watches, matching the same description as Brian's! You stole them and pawned them! Where are the rest?""I don't know what you are talking about," Mara responded. "Those Rolex watches were gifts from my other friends, and we pawned them. They don't belong to Brian!"Mara was on her knees, being cuffed by the police in the living room of their flat. Her rights were already read when Beatrice came at her after finding the receipts for the pawned watches. "Beatrice, just because we are poor, you can accuse us of being thieves," Claire's sister, Carrie, said while crying in one corner."Police officer, I'm being set up. I am not part of the lending ring as you accused me," Mara pleaded. "This woman, Beatrice Martin, is setting me up just because she borrowed money from the loan sharks and did not want to pay!""Unfortu

"Good morning," Adrian greeted Riley the second she woke up on a Sunday. He was smiling at her, and his eyes were sparkling. "Good morning," she said back. "Are my wife and baby hungry?" Adrian asked. Riley pouted before caressing her stomach. She answered, "I think we are."Adrian rolled off the bed and said, "Let me cook breakfast.""Wait," Riley called. "Someone might see you walking."Adrian chuckled. He responded, "I gave Max, Aunt Linda, and Rose a day off. Aunt Linda could also use some time to visit her relatives. She will be gone for a few days. Only the guards have reported for work but are at the gates." He winked and added, "Grandpa will be on a firm watch."When they reached the kitchen, Adrian moved seamlessly across the cooking space, taking out bread, eggs, vegetables, and condiments. But because Riley couldn't stand watching her husband do all the work, she offered to work on the smoothie, slicing her favorite fruits.Using her phone, Riley played the song "Good Li

On a Monday evening, Adrian and Riley rested early. They had already fallen asleep when Adrian's phone suddenly rang. Adrian took the call because it was from Engineer Philips. Adrian asked, "Hello? What seems to be the matter?""Mr. King? Mr. Wright of Braeton City is having cold feet," Engineer Philips revealed. "Cold feet? How?" Adrian got up from the bed, immediately massaging his temples."We don't know, Sir. He apologized and said he is considering another company to work with," Engineer Philips answered. "No. No." Adrian instructed, "Since you are already in Braeton City, meet him first thing in the morning. He can't go wrong with us. Instead of Wednesday, I'll fly out to see him tomorrow. I'll have Clint charter a flight for me.""Tell him that if he still feels we are not the best firm for the construction after our meeting, then I will accept his decision," Adrian expressed. "Got it, Sir," Engineer Philips agreed. Adrian called Clint to arrange his flight. When he was do

"How is it that you can bring down the construction cost this much? Are you going cheap on materials, Mr. King?" Kyle asked while scrutinizing the project cost proposal. "Never! I recently acquired a metal production business and partnered with a lumber and cement company. Technically, I am getting many of the materials directly from suppliers," Adrian explained. "This is what mainly brings down the cost.""As for workers, we usually create temporary housing within the site. It initially comes out as a big investment, but long-term wise; we save on transportation, hotel expenses, and stolen construction materials," Adrian explained. "Stolen construction materials?" Kyle asked, crossing his arms against his chest. "Even with security guards present, thieves get in and steal construction materials. If construction workers are housed on-site, we have more eyes around," Adrian explained. "Lastly, aside from construction equipment, I invest in innovative project management. I hire the be

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

“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

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.
