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 168: The Time to be Killed
MARIUS’ POV: I can’t believe that this will all come to this. After surviving many near-death experiences, I’ll end up easily surrendering my life in the hands of my own wife. This has got to be the most brutal decision the both of us have to endure. But as parents, this is the length of the sacrifice we’re prepared to go through for our children’s safety. I put on a suit, while Hazel opts for just a simple shirt and trousers. I hold her hand and kiss the back of it, reminding her that I have no ill-will against her about what’s gonna happen tonight. She plasters on a sad smile, then leans onto my arm as we head our way to the front gates where our cars and bodyguards are waiting. We arrive at a high-end Japanese restaurant that offers private dining rooms for their VIP customers. Hazel has booked the largest one. Five minutes later, her former adoptive family arrives. They’re sneering and glaring at her, but she greets them with a smile. As the three of them excitedly loo
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 169: The Plan Continues
Imelda and Fredie are tied up and locked up inside the windowless basement of papa’s mansion, with ten bodyguards taking turns outside its door. Though it’s not my plan to be sympathetic to them, I end up instructing the house staff to always give them food and water on time, with a nurse at a stand by just in case they may need medical assistance. Michael confirms that he already told Adriano about Marius’ death. Still, Adriano calls to hear it straight from me. -[“When can I see the news of your husband’s death on TV?”]- His voice brims with derision, while I try to make mine sound devastated. “You won’t. I don’t wanna be questioned, let alone investigated on why or how he died so suddenly. I’ll keep this a secret for as long as possible.” -[“Any proof that Marius is really dead?”]- “Why make Michael your witness when you’re not trusting him? You should’ve come yourself instead of him,” I counter. Adriano is silent for a moment, before finding his voice again. -[“I expect
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 170: Into the Enemy's Lair Once Again
When I open my eyes, my heart beats with ease. Adriano’s eyes are still closed as he enjoys our awful kiss, which means he’s still not aware of what I’m about to do to him. But, as if fate is still denying his death, a knock on the door echoes. Quickly, I fix my dress to hide the gun. “What the f.uck is that?!” Adriano hisses. He opens the door as I wipe his saliva off my mouth with the back of my hand. The armed man on the door hands him a cellphone, “It’s your mother.” Adriano’s shoulders tense up as he grabs the phone and steps outside. I shake the nagging thought that something bad may be happening to Giulia. She’s been very nice to me when we’re together, but she’s not my priority. So I shouldn’t be thinking about her. I pull out my phone and send Marius a text message: -[I’m here in Adriano’s hideout already, and still figuring out its exact location. There are only around fifty armed men and women. I also haven’t seen either Vincent or Pierce.]- Afterwards, I delete

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
