Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 59: Shattered
A V E L I N AIt was raining heavily as I walked on the road, my tears mixing with the rain.He didn't believe me. He thought I had cheated on him. And he was convinced the baby inside of me wasn't his.My life was ruined.My marriage was over.My heart was shattered into pieces.I couldn't breathe.The rain was pouring down, and the sky was dark. I didn't care that I was wet and soaked. My world was shattering right in front of me, and there was nothing I could do about it.My husband hated me, and he wanted nothing to do with me. How could I fix this?He didn't believe me, and I had no one. I couldn't go see Maggie now. I didn't want to add to her stress with my problems.The rainfall became heavier and I knew I needed to get out of it as soon as possible. I didn't have just myself to think about now. I had a little bean growing inside of me, and I needed to be careful.I hailed a cab, and the first thing I did when I was inside was to dial Lorenzo's number. The call didn't go throu
Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 60: Maggie is Dead
A V E L I N AAvelina's crying face was the last thing I saw and I hated the fact that my heart squeezed at the memory.I had been ignoring her calls and texts ever since I kicked her out of the house. She was a cheater and a liar.My phone was ringing for the umpteenth time. I knew it was Avelina, but I wasn't in the mood to speak to her.She had played with my feelings.She was a whore.A fucking slut.And I was done with her."Hey, Mr. Salvatore. Do you want me to get the call?" My secretary asked."No, no. It's okay. Thank you.""Yes, sir." She turned and walked away. I hated myself for missing Avelina. I hated myself for wanting to hear her voice. I was an idiot for feeling sorry for her.I hated the fact that I wanted her in my arms. I was angry at the fact that I wanted to hold her.The phone kept ringing and it was really annoying."Fuck it." I hissed and picked up the call. My secretary walked out, giving me privacy. "What do you want, Avelina?" I growled, not holding back.
Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 61: The Funeral
A V E L I N A My heart was empty, numb and overall, shattered. It's been one month of Maggie's passing and I've been stuck at home ever since. I hadn't had the courage to step out of my house and show my face. Yes, I went back to my old apartment. I didn't even have the will to live anymore. Nothing was the same anymore. I haven't seen Lorenzo's face or any of his family. How could I console them when I could barely console myself? I had caused a death. The guilt was eating me up inside and I didn't know what to do. I hadn't been able to move on and forget. The entire family had found out about the real story behind my marriage with Lorenzo. He told them. Claimed that I had manipulated Maggie into forcing him to marry me. I was absolutely humiliated. I've never felt more humiliated like I was on that day. I watched the expressions on their faces and I knew they were never going to view me the same way. Valerie couldn't hide her shock even if she tried. Lorenzo had succeeded

A V E L I N AGiovanni's face was turned to me and he gave me the most hateful glare before releasing my hand. I staggered back and Lorenzo caught me before I could fall.His jaw was clenched as he stared at me for a few seconds before moving away from me when I was steady. His eyes moved from my face as he looked my up and down, his eyes dropping down to my stomach. I haven't seen him in one month and I could feel my heart beat speeding up at bringing such close proximity with him. He looked rough and disheveled.Like he hasn't bothered caring for himself. His hair was overgrown and his beards were literally covering his entire jaw. His eyes were full and empty, no hint of life in it.This was the scariest I had seen Lorenzo. I instinctively placed my hand on my stomach, hiding it from his intensive stare. He wasn't staring at my belly with love. It was his baby in there. Instead, he was staring at it with so much anger.Without giving me a second glance, he walked off. My heart sha

A V E L I N ALorenzo released his grip on my hand when we were outside and I regained my balance. He stared at me, lomh and hard that I had to move from foot to foot.I was the first to speak up as I asked nervously, "H-how are you?"His looked at me, his face devoid of emotions. "You're in no position to know that, Avelina.""I'm your wife–""Ex." He immediately cut me off. "Ex wife. You no longer have access to that title. We're over. Done. Maggie is Dead. The whole reason we got married was because of her, right? Then the deal is off.""I can't recall ever signing divorce papers." I said. This was the most conversation we've had in a month. "It would be sent to you in a few days. With the pay for your time spent."I took my long scarf off and his eyes fell to my belly. I was a little over two months, but the bump was noticeable. He stared at my stomach for a long time, his lips twitching and his hands shaking."Is it his?" I couldn't stop the tears from coming out. I was expecti

The touches, the kisses, the love making, the little gestures, the affections, the talks.Everything.I loved him. I love him with every fiber of my being.He was everything. He was my first real love, he was my husband. The father of my unborn child. I thought I loved my exes, but it was nothing compared to what I felt for Lorenzo.He was everything.And I was nothing without him.I stared at the ring, the big diamond mocking me. Lorenzo's face kept appearing in my mind, his expressions of disgust, his hateful gaze. I couldn't take it anymore. The pain was too much.I took the ring off and placed it on the counter, before walking out of the car. I couldn't bear the thought of taking his ring off. The ring that was a par
Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 65: Officially Divorced
A V E L I N A Two days later, I was standing in front of the building I grew accustomed to for the past eight months. Yesterday, he sent the divorce papers to me and as much as I tried to play it off, it hurt like hell. This was really happening. I was dressed in a black knee length dress, with a black jacket. The bruises Benjamin left behind were fading, but the pain was still there. The pain that Lorenzo caused was worse. I took a deep breath and stepped into the building, the divorce papers in hand. I ignored the looks I was receiving from his employees and the security, the whispers, and the stares. I made my way inside and the house was quiet. It looked lonely and empty, like it had been abandoned by years. I felt a wave of nostalgia hit me and the memories we shared flashed before my eyes. The laughter, the smiles, the love, the happiness. Everything. I was finally going to say my goodbyes to this house. The house that I had unknowingly considered a home. I had imagined u

The first person my eyes met were Natalia's and she didn't look a tad bit remorseful.Her clothes were tattered and dirty and she looked thinner but held so much rage and enmity in her eyes.
