I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 160: The Clever Plan of a Family Man
MARIUS’ POV: Knowing that Hazel is with our sons now is such an immense relief I’ve not felt in what feels like an eternity. I’m forever in debt to dad for helping us get through such situations. And I won’t waste all of his efforts. I will, not only win against the Giordannos, but become one of the wealthiest and influential in the world. With that, no one will dare to endanger my family ever again! Even though the Italian authorities coordinate with dad to save Hazel, they refuse to interfere with our affair against Le Distruzioni, citing the dangers it may cause to their own lives and their families. Some may not admit it, but I’m pretty sure they’re being paid to protect that gang’s interest too. Dad and I go our separate ways for now. He checks into a highly-secured hotel room, heavily-guarded by his bodyguards plus several Italian police officers, while I drive towards Adriano’s estate all by myself. As soon as I hop down my car, Adriano’s gang members quickly point their g
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 161: The Showdown of the Fearless
It’s either Adriano or I will be The Boss. It’s either he cleaves to his gang or I develop it into something none has ever seen before. Inside an abandoned warehouse just outside Venice, I wait for Adriano’s arrival. Knowing he’ll be with what remains of his lapdogs, I bring with me dad’s and my own bodyguards. “Are you sure about this, Marius?” dad asks, concern evident in his gaze. I, too, am not confident if the outcome of this will favor me. But I have to give it a shot. “It’s the only way to stop whoever dares to come at me and my family again,” I reply unyieldingly. “For as long as there are people who think they can do better than I am, my family will never be safe.” All the dangers brought to us by Carter, Pierce, Mei Zhou, many more others, and now Adriano are all sealed in my memory and will never be forgotten. And I won’t allow another one like them to exist. I ask dad to go back to his hotel room since I don’t want to put his life in danger on what may happen here.
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 162: All Mine Now
Adriano’s body isn’t found. Even so, I’ve managed to achieve something significant; I dismantled Le Distruzioni. Only a few of them have escaped, but the majority are either killed or captured by my men. According to them, the Giordanno’s estate has a secret underground room where they’re having their meetings and hiding the lists of their illegal activities and businesses. After we raid the estate and steal the blueprints and booklets of their gang’s sources of income, I send Adriano and Francesca’s mother to a mental institution, and free the women who brand themselves as Adriano’s slaves.. “What are you planning with those pieces of information?” dad asks, a hint of concern in his tone. Without hesitation, I respond, “I’m gonna make them all mine.” I create a team of bodyguards, and we travel to Sierra Leone. I speak with the mayor of Koidu City, who doesn’t seem to be surprised to know about the illegal mining site where many are forced to do labor without proper equip
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 163: The Price of Becoming Powerful
Adriano can’t easily do what he pleases anymore compared to before. He has no resources, and lost most of his lapdogs. Still, I must remain vigilant about his threats by doubling the numbers of our bodyguards, and sending some to search for him and kill him. After my meeting with the software programmers, I find Hazel in the living area with two visitors I’ve not seen before. I hate seeing strangers inside dad’s home. But of course, I can’t complain, coz it’s not my home. Hazel glances at me when I kiss her cheek, then notices my quite unwelcoming aura towards her visitors. She acts as professionally as she can, smiling while asking me to sit down beside her. “They’re the party planners I hired,” she says. My brow furrows in confusion. “What for?” Hazel’s jaw drops, and so do the party planners’. Then, a mix of embarrassment and guilt courses through me when Hazel clarifies what I’m missing. “It’s Archie’s first birthday on Sunday.” I can’t believe I’ve forgotten my own son’s
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 164: Wicked Alliance
ADRIANO’S POV: Hazel’s face emerges in my mind as I m.asturbate. Pleasure explodes through my body, especially in my pelvic area when I reach my climax. Breathlessly, I murmur, “You’ll be mine again.” I shouldn’t have been nice to that woman! I don’t know why, but I’ve never given any woman I find attractive a free pass for a wild s.ex. She’s the first. Maybe that’s why I’m l.usting after her until now. I step out of the bathroom, and put on my suit. I next visit mom in her room. The mental institution where Marius brought her refused to discharge her, but I insisted since I can’t let Marius decide her and my fate. Ever since Hazel has escaped, mom has become even worse than she was before. And I’m forced to have her tied up in her bed. I kiss her on the cheek, but she doesn’t dare glance at me. Her face is so pale, her eyes very swollen. “I’ll bring Francesca back to you soon. I promise,” I whisper, before heading towards the room downstairs where the remaining of my gang m
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 165: Protection or Ambition?
HAZEL'S POV: Every day Marius is growing more and more distant from us. And it’s making me scared and frustrated. I can’t take away from him his desperation to protect us from another danger. But, I don’t think him becoming so powerful and wealthy is the key to protecting us. Carter, Pierce, and Adriano are extremely wealthy and powerful, but look what happened to them. We all outsmarted them. “Marius, I’m gonna head to the office for the launch of my new cosmetic products. Can you play with Sammy and Archie while I’m gone?” I ask in an attempt to separate him from his online business meetings, which have been going on since this morning. He nods, but his attention is still glued to whoever he’s talking to in his laptop. He doesn’t even make an effort to pause to kiss me goodbye. “I love you,” I whisper. He glances at me and smiles, but without whispering back, “I love you too.” I'm being very patient and understanding. But, I know this can’t last forever. So somehow, Marius
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 166: The Beginning of Something Dark
My head throbs, my eyes swell, and my heart aches. Marius and I have never really stepped away from living in a land mimes. Every wrong move… boom! It’s either we’ll lose something and now, someone very significant to us. Mourners attend papa’s funeral, but I don’t have the strength to face any of them. They offer words of comfort, but none of them feels anything to me, since they can’t undo what happened. I’m sitting at a corner, gazing at papa’s coffin, when Marius and the detective approach me. “Based on our initial investigation, the sniper positioned himself at the rooftop of Zitan Hotel, which is about three kilometers from Mr. Albert Montgomery’s mansion,” the detective says. “The hotel’s CCTV recordings show that the sniper uses the fire exit stairs to get to the rooftop. He’s around six feet with a great physique, but his face is concealed with a mask.” “Is there any information that an Italian man named Adriano Giordanno is now in this country?” I ask. “None so far,”
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 167: Killing My Husband
No amount of safety precautions and preparations can tear down an evil soul. That’s why the best option to save my innocent sons is to bend down against Adriano’s will.The thought of dirtying my hands with my own husband’s blood makes my heart shatter. But, the thought of my sons dying in the hands of a brutal man is just way more unbearable and unacceptable. I find Marius in our bedroom, dabbing a soaked cotton onto the cuts and bruises on his face. As much as I don’t wanna show I’m affected by what I did to him earlier, I can’t help but to take the cotton from his hand and clean his face with it myself. “No apologies?” he teases, trying to lighten up the atmosphere. With a heavy heart, I reply, “I’ll do something worse than this. You don’t have to forgive me, but I hope that you’ll understand.” Marius looks at me with sadness, but doesn’t say a word. “I must kill you, Marius. Then I must give up my freedom to Adriano. In that way, he won’t dare touch our sons,” I add, burst

I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 198: The Beginning of Something New
Being the world’s richest and powerful couple is an honor, but comes with it the burden of attracting possible new jealous and evil individuals. To prepare for this, Marius and I put the country’s Chief of police and the General of the army on our payroll in exchange for their protection of our family’s well-being. Additionally, we befriend some politicians here and abroad by funding their projects and election campaigns. We also keep our contact with the hacker and the cosmetic artist. Though we’re not yet needing their help again, we’re sending them and their families’ gifts every once in a while - a way to show our appreciation for the skills and to keep them loyal to us. Everything is going well. Except,... My relationships with my former and my current mothers-in-law. They remain adamant in forgetting our pasts. Even so, we maintain our respect for each other unlike before. Plus, they always visit their grandchildren to spend some time with them. “Elmyra,” I begin, trying to
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 197: Gaining More Power
Charles Guo Committed S.uicide Behind Bars! - That’s the headline of every news outlet. I’m shocked that he’d do this to himself. But to make sure that this isn’t just a lie so that he can escape jail, I head to the morgue myself. And there he is - white and cold, with a chain mark on his neck. There’s a little guilt in me, but there’s also a huge relief. Suzy and the others who vouched for him in the courtroom are now in jail for lying, awaiting their trials. The second DNA results of Rain and his grandparents turn out to be positive, and the one Suzy presented to the court is proven to be fabricated. This, hiding Rain’s father’s death from the law, and hiring my former bodyguards to become their spies and kill my family, add to the charges she’ll be facing, making it difficult for her to pose bail. “P-please, Hazel… I’m sorry I chose my husband over you. He threatened me, that’s why I have no choice,” she cries, clutching the bars of her cell.I raise an eyebrow. “You didn’t
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 196: Another Heartbreak
My tears continue to cascade from my eyes, as I chase after Marius, who’s on a stretcher and being rushed to the emergency room. “Ma’am, you can’t enter,” the doctor says as she shuts the door in my face. I sink to my knees and clutches my tightening chest. Oh God! Please, save Marius! Don’t take him from me! Hours pass, but the emergency doors remain closed. There’s no update about Marius’ situation so far. Betty has arrived too, panicking and sobbing, which only makes me even more apprehensive. The nurses help her to calm down by giving her some medications. Then I sit beside her, hoping to give and get comfort. But,... “If I lose my son too, I will kill myself, and will blame my death on you,” she says, coldly. I stop myself from responding. This isn’t the right time and place to argue. Finally, the doctor steps out of the emergency room, his expression grave. “The patient is in a coma and will be under monitoring. The bullet has pierced through his left lung, but it’s
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 195: The Trial
A week has lapsed,...And finally, the judgment day has arrived! Will fate back us up? Or will it vouch for Charles instead? Inside the courtroom, Charles looks calm, a complete turnaround from how he was when he’s in our basement. Sitting on the bench behind him is Amber, Rain and Suzy. I saw those three earlier, arriving separately. The media were all over them, throwing questions about the scandal surrounding their family’s odd relationships. They ignored them. And just like Charles, they all look calmer than how I was expecting them to be. When the trial begins, the first case that’s discussed is the m.urder of Rain’s biological father. Rain’s grandparents get on the witness stand. Their emotions rise as they state how they remember their son when he was still alive. “He just suddenly came home one day with groceries and shopping bags that we knew he can’t afford, given the salary he’s getting in Mr. Guo’s factory,” the father says. “Soon, he brought us a brand new house
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 194: Gathering Allies and Evidence
HAZEL’S POV: It’s proven that Amber Stark can’t be trusted. But, what about Suzy and Rain Guo, will they side with me and Marius? Marius and I, disguised as Crystal and Chris, meet Suzy and Rain in a high-end cafe. “Give us the list of Charles’ illegal businesses, and we promise that all of his wealth will be yours,” I say. Suzy responds, “Believe it or not, my husband doesn’t have any illegal businesses, so there’s no way you can lawfully freeze his access to his wealth.” It seems like we can’t trust these two as well. If only our hacker can find these pieces of information, then we won’t need to bargain with them. But our hacker has limitations too. Suddenly, Suzy’s aura shifts! “However, I can give you the identity of Rain’s biological father. You can use his death against Charles,” she says. That’s a help, but that's not enough to freeze Charles’ assets. Charles may still be able to utilize his wealth to manipulate the authorities. After giving us the details of Rain’s
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 193: An Ally or A Foe?
AMBER’S POV: Crystal Wu’s offer is tempting, but she and her husband can’t be trusted. Plus, Charles won’t be defeated that easily. I call Charles through my phone since he hasn’t come back home yet. When he picks up, he sounds a little more enthusiastic than usual. Even when he’s celebrating something huge, he isn’t like this. “Weird,” I murmur, then continue with a clearer voice. “Be careful. Crystal Wu is planning to destroy your finances, and she’s trying to use me against you.” His enthusiasm doesn’t falter. -[“I’ll be careful. Thanks for letting me know.”]- He then drops the call, and I can’t reconnect with him when I try to call him again. Frustrated, I send her a text message: -[Where are you anyway? I need s.ex!]- But, there’s no reply. I meet Rain and Suzy, who are having their lunch in the dining area. Then I tell them about Crystal Wu’s scheme. “She wants me to know all Charles’ illegal businesses, so the government can freeze all of his wealth just like what hap
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 192: Meek and Just No More!
HAZEL’S POV: It’s not easy to harden our hearts, but Marius and I must do it if we don’t want our enemies to get the better of us again. We already got access to our bodyguards’ and house staff’s past and current call and text message logs, and we identified five Guo’s spies in total. To stop them from continuously betraying us, we target their weaknesses - their loved ones. We gathered the traitors inside the study, and took their phones and their weapons. At first they’re confused until we explained why.“You’re spies of Charles Guo and you’ll pay for that big time,” Marius said coldly.Stunned, their faces paled and their bodies clenched. But none dared to deny it.“We have your family members, hidden in a place where you can’t contact or see them. If you want them to stay safe, you must follow every single thing we’ll demand from you,” I added with equal coldness.Alarmed, they tremble. One of them even kneeled down and begged,“Please, my family has nothing to do with my bet
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 191: The Guo's Spies
“Take off all the CCTVs now!” I roar. Frantically, the maids and the bodyguards uninstall all the CCTVs in every corner of my estate. It may lessen the safety of my home, but I can’t risk giving my enemies more of our privacy! Once they’re done, I turn to Suzy and clutches her shoulders furiously.“I didn’t realize that there’s CCTV in that hospital room!” Suzy explains, trembling in fear. “Regardless! You shouldn’t have told the Thornes about our family’s affair!” I hiss, before pushing her onto the sofa. Then I turn to Amber, who’s fearfully hiding behind Rain. I wanna lash out at her too, but I stop myself. Even I didn't think that the CCTVs in my home used for our safety would be hacked to shove us into danger.Over the next few days, the mainstream and social media explode with news about our unconventional family relationships. We have become the laughing stock of the entire country. I can’t get out of my estate out of humiliation, can’t even accept an interview or a new
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 190: The Guo's Dark Secrets
CHARLES’ POV: There’s nothing! Crystal and Chris Wu’s cellphones can’t provide anything that’ll connect them to Marius and Hazel Thorne! I turn to Rain and ask, “Are you sure you don’t know them?” Rain replies, “They invested one billion dollars to my new business venture, but I don’t know them personally. And I also don’t remember ever inviting them to my prenuptial party.” Irritation courses through me. “You’re so s.tupid to not meet your investors in person! I’m not gonna be surprised why until now you can’t build connections on your own!” “And now we can’t be sure if we can trust those two or not!” Rain shrugs, unbothered in showing his disinterest. I can’t believe that I’m squandering so much wealth for this d.umbass! If only I’m able to produce my own son, I would never let him exist! Amber approaches me and seductively rubs her palms across my chest area. “Honey, I’m scared. Everybody is talking about us now. Shall we just confess our affair?” she asks without any hin
