I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 108: A Wife's Pain and Frustration
HAZEL’S POV: I almost stumble down when I see Marius kissing his new ‘business partner.’ The scene hits me like a freight train, dragging up the old pain of Carter’s betrayal. I rush out of the venue, avoiding the inquiring stares of the other guests.In the car, Marius tries to explain himself. I see his lips moving, hear the sound of his voice, but none of his words reaches my comprehension. He reaches out to touch me, but I recoil, feeling only numbness where there should be warmth. Then, my tears start to fall.I try to convince myself that it’s just a mistake, that Marius will never cheat on me. But the more I repeat it in my mind, the less I believe it. We arrive home, and I still haven’t said a word to him, can’t even bring myself to look at him.I go straight to one of the guest rooms instead of our bedroom, and lock the door. Marius knocks, “Please Hazel. Let’s not end this day without resolving this.”But I ignore him. The pain is too much, and the tears won’t stop. Su
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 109: The Rift Continues
Marius spends the rest of his days in his office, avoiding me. He doesn’t kiss me, doesn’t speak to me. He calls the house from time to time, but not my own cell phone. So out of pride, I let the staff answer and relay his messages to me. The whole time he’s gone, I can’t help but to imagine him being intimate with Mei Zhou. It’s hard to eat, hard to even play with Sammy. My tears also come, and when I realize I’m crying, it’s already too late. It’s almost midnight when Marius finally returns home, and he’s drunk again. Only this time, he can stand on his own. We stare at each other, waiting defiantly on who’s to be the first to speak.In the end, I just turn away from him, and head toward the guest room again. He doesn’t follow, and I don’t want him to coz we’ll surely end up arguing.I don’t know how long we can keep this up, but I’m not ready to lower my pride, especially because I'm not the one at fault.The following day, I learn from one of the staff that Marius left the hous
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 110: Her Pain Worsens
I’m leaving Marius, and I’ll bring my sons with me! Papa's house is the first place that comes to mind as I pack our belongings. When we arrive, I explain everything to papa. He understands and welcomes us. And I’m grateful for his unwavering kindness. He tries to talk to me though. “Running away won't fix things. Eventually, you will have to face your problems.”I know that. But for now, I need space away from Marius.Marius keeps calling my phone, but I’m not picking up. He has probably found out already that we left.A moment later, the doorbell rings, and Marius steps in as the staff opens the door. "Hazel, don’t do this. Let’s talk," he begs, desperation on his face. I look away, trying to choose which of my distressful thoughts I'd like to address first."You said you were d.rugged by Nicole when your viral s.ex photos came out online. So you're unsure if something happened between you two," I say, my voice trembling with pain and anger. "And now, almost the same thing with
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 111: The Chinese Heir
MEI’S POV: The news of Marius and his wife’s ‘rumored’ divorce circulates online and on TV like wildfire. Both of them aren’t making any public comments or announcements about it. And none of them has actually filed for it. I didn’t realize that this is gonna be this easy. Now, all I gotta do is make Marius forget her and love me instead. The first time I saw Marius was on TV a few years back when he won the divorce case of my friend against her wealthy, abusive husband. From that day on, I knew I liked him due to his intelligence, charisma and good looks. Unfortunately, my parents were so strict in making sure I finished my college in Beijing first before entering a romantic relationship. And when I graduated, I found out that Marius Thorne had already married one of his female clients. So, I stop chasing my dream of getting to know him. However,... When the opportunity presented itself to me, I gladly grabbed it. My friend told me about Marius’ struggling real estate busines
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 112: Hazel Filing For A Divorce
MARIUS’ POV: One by one, the Chinese investors express their desire to quit being my company’s investors. All of them demand that Mei Zhou should remain my business partner since she’s whom they trust, and not me. It’s not a surprise that Mei Zhou is exerting her influence against me for not getting what she wants. I was hoping that the Chinese investors are mature enough not to be influenced by her, but this is proof that I was wrong. I turn off my laptop, refusing to read the investors’ emails anymore. All that remains in my mind is that I only have twenty-four hours to make things up with Mei Zhou before they push through with their threats. My desperation to fix my relationship with my wife continues to clash against my desperation for success. Suddenly, my phone rings, and Mei Zhou’s name flashes on the screen. Without a moment’s hesitation, I toss my phone on the desk. After a few more attempts to call me, she gives up and just sends me a text message; -[Are you still mad
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 113: Mei Zhou's Revenge Begins
Mei Zhou irritatingly remains nonchalant. “I thought my husband has already fired you as his business partner? Anything else you want from him?” Hazel asks with a hint of anger in her tone. Mei Zhou stands up. “I came here to apologize for the misunderstanding I’ve caused you both. I didn’t know that helping Mr. Thorne, while making a name for myself in this foreign country, was crossing the line for you.” There’s no genuineness, either fakeness, in her apology. Hazel is probably feeling the same way as we both don’t respond to Mei Zhou. Mei Zhou leaves our house, taking with her the tension in the atmosphere. I immediately instruct the guards not to let her in if ever she comes back again. When night comes, Hazel attempts to sleep in the guest room again, but I gently imprison her into my arms and lock the door of our bedroom. “You’re not going anywhere,” I whisper with longing. Through the impassiveness she’s trying to maintain, there’s the same longing in her eyes. I le
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 114: The Battle of the Billionaire Heiresses
HAZEL’S POV: Mei Zhou isn’t stopping with just ruining Marius’ business, but she’s ruining mine too! Aside from signing a real estate business deal with Reve Whitlock, she’s now introducing her cosmetic business, offering almost the same products like mine. My sales have dropped even further since then, while the consumers are getting crazy over Mei Zhou’s cosmetic lines. I lean back against my oversized chair, and think for a bit. Unfortunately, I can’t think properly. Gradually but expectedly, Marius and my businesses continue to struggle. Keeping them will only make us lose more money, but letting go of them will give us no choice but to consider being employed. The worst part is, Marius has piles of bank loans. Papa offers to pay them all off, and Marius can just pay him in return whenever he already can. But, out of pride, Marius refuses. “I can handle this. I just need more time and the right investors,” he says. To keep our staff and bodyguards employed to us, Mariu
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 115: A New Plan, A New Attack!
MEI’S POV: Nice try to bring me down, Hazel Thorne. Only that, I won’t fall.The news that are against what I desire keep circulating online. Even the ones I’ve paid to take them down are failing to do their job. My eyebrow arches in irritation at the video of Marius and Hazel kissing right after Hazel filed for their divorce. Then, my jaw clenches in anger when I swipe to the video of Hazel humiliating me last night at my cosmetic business event. The popularity of my cosmetic business from when it’s launched has significantly plummeted. I don’t mind, I can squander as much money as I want to keep it going. But what I mind is Hazel’s cosmetic business gaining momentum out of the public's pity on her. Funny, how consumers can just switch sides and forget the past in just a snap of a finger. I can use that kind of behavior to my advantage too with the help of Reve Whitlock. I call him through my phone. -[“What can I do for you, Mei?”]- “Come here in my penthouse. I’ll discuss so
