I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: The Desperation to Hide
“Ma’am, you need to leave. You're making the guests uncomfortable,” one of the guards barks, his voice a mix of impatience and disdain.I wanna protest, to explain that I have nowhere else to go, but the words stop in my throat. I glance at Sammy, his small face pressed against my shoulder, his eyes closed in blissful ignorance of our predicament.“Please,” I manage to whisper, my voice hoarse. “We just need a place to stay until the rain stops.”The guard shakes his head, unmoved. “You can't stay here. Move along, or we'll have to call the police.”The threat of police makes my blood run cold. I can't risk that. Not with Sammy.Suddenly, there’s a voice, calm but commanding.“What's going on here?” I look up to see an old man in a crisp suit stepping out of the restaurant. His silver hair is neatly combed back, and his eyes, though sharp, hold a glint of kindness. The guards immediately step back, their demeanors shifting from authoritative to deferential.“Sir, this woman is causin
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: An Unexpected News
What if Mr. Montgomery is also friends with Carter? I hope not. Seeing Pierce Throne here makes me realize that these mega-rich people have a small circle coz there are only a few of them in this world. I fight to keep my composure as I set the tray down, my hands trembling slightly. Pierce glances up, his eyes narrowing in recognition. But I keep my gaze low, avoiding eye contact.I’m not worried that he will tell Carter I’m here coz what would he get from doing that? Help Carter, his enemy? I don’t think so.Mr. Montgomery raises his glass, snatching Pierce’s attention away from me. "This is for you, my friend. I look forward to investing more in your ventures in the near future."“And speaking of celebrations,” Pierce says, his eyes glinting with a knowing look, “I’m excited about Marius’ upcoming wedding. It's going to be quite the event. Albert, you must attend.”Mr. Montgomery smiles, lifting his glass again. “Of course, I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”I feel as if the floo
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR: They Meet Again
I know it’s not right to ask, but I have to know. "I saw on the news that you’re getting married," I begin, a bit hesitant. "Are you in love with your bride?" Marius hesitates too, his gaze dropping to the ground. I brace myself for the answer I probably already know, but refuse to acknowledge. After some awkward silence, he replies, "Yes."That single word answer solidifies my resolve—I can't ruin his future with Nicole, especially not with the news I carry. My hand instinctively goes to my stomach, and I hope Marius doesn’t notice that."By the way, where are you living now, Hazel? The bodyguards I hired didn’t see you in your home. I tried calling you, but you’re not picking up," he says, his voice laced with concern."Sammy and I are fine," I say, carefully avoiding the specifics. There’s no need for him to know where we currently are or even the reason we have to leave our home.Though I wanna spend more time with him, it’s not right to do so. The reminder that he’s not mi
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE: The Divorce
The divorce hearing is a mere few hours away, and the reality of facing Carter in the courtroom again sends a shiver down my spine. For the past few days, I’ve found a small measure of peace in my communications with Marius. Our exchanges have been strictly about the legal matters of my divorce, nothing more. But, it feels like the rift between us, though not healed, has at least been bridged for the time being. A knock on the door startles me from my reverie. Mr. Montgomery’s butler announces Marius’ arrival, and I leave Sammy in the care of one of my fellow maids. “Ready?” Marius asks. I nod, though I’m not really ready. The drive to the capital is filled with a tense silence, each of us lost in our own thoughts. As we approach the imposing structure of the courthouse, I can’t help but wonder what Carter will do this time. The last time we faced each other in court, he begged me not to proceed with our divorce. What more could he want from me? I made it clear that I’m willi
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER FORTY-SIX: The Revelation
“Congratulations, Hazel!” The atmosphere in the mansion is electric with celebration. My fellow staff members have gathered, their faces alight with genuine joy for my newfound freedom. Marius and Mr. Montgomery join in, raising glasses of champagne in a toast. Sammy, oblivious to the true reason behind the festivities, enjoys the evening too. As the party winds down, I join my fellow maids in cleaning up. When done, I head to my bedroom only to find that Sammy isn’t sleeping alone anymore. On the bed, Marius lies with him nestled against him, both of them fast asleep. They look so peaceful, so right together, like a real father and son. A pang of sorrow grips my heart. This is the last night Marius will be here. After tonight, he’ll return to his life, to his fiancée, and Sammy will lose the father figure he has come to adore. Silently, I fetch a blanket and pillow, settling myself on the floor beside the bed. The tiles are uncomfortably cold, but it’s a small sacrifice to let

MARIUS’ POV: I ask Mr. Montgomery to take care of Hazel and Sammy for me, which he agrees to. While I promise Hazel that I’ll come back for her. Dad needs to be tamed first. He’s anger gets out of control and it’s embarrassing that he’s showing his wild side to Mr. Montgomery. I rush towards my car, and dad does the same to his car, following a step behind him are his bodyguards.The drive back home is a silent storm, and as soon as we arrive and emerge from our cars, dad's fury erupts once again. "You listen to me, Marius," dad bellows, not even waiting for me to step inside. "Even if that woman is now pregnant, I won't allow you to be with her! You got that?!" “You can't dictate what I’ll do or won't do," I shoot back, my own anger rising. "I'm a grown a.ss man!" Ignoring dad's continued tirade, I storm up to my bedroom and begin packing. Just when I’m done and ready to leave, a summons comes from dad's study. I hesitate, but also hoping that perhaps dad is ready to have a calm
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT: Another Wicked Woman
NICOLE’S POV: Marriage into the Thorne family is my destiny, my rightful place. Marius' voice rises in frustration, defying his parents with a conviction that both infuriates and fascinates me. How could he resist me, Nicole Mendez, the supermodel who graced the covers of Vogue and walked the runways of Paris and Milan? I’ve turned down princes and billionaires, but here I am, facing rejection from a man whose own mother has sought me out. Mrs. Betty Thorne first approached me at a gala in Dubai."You and Marius would be a formidable pair," she said, her tone leaving no room for doubt. At first, I was just intrigued, so I agreed to meet Marius. But that meeting sealed my fate—his intellect, his charm, and that undercurrent of vulnerability he’s trying so hard to mask. Now, I want him. And I’m not used to being denied.Mr. Pierce Thorne speaks, snatching me back to the current moment. And as he speaks, my confidence only grows. They’re on my side, backing me in this fight. Even my
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER FORTY-NINE: Hazel's New Heartbreak
HAZEL’S POV: My heart twists painfully as I stare at the TV screen, the blurred private photos of Marius and Nicole splash across the news. Nicole's interview plays next, there’s her apology and her reminder that what happened is just normal for a couple in love. Marius said he’d come back for me, so I should wait for him. Does his promise only apply to our unborn child? I’m so foolish, clinging to the hope that it’s for me too. But he also said he loves me right in front of Mr. Montgomery and his father. Were those declarations of love merely a rebellion against his father, devoid of genuine meaning? My hand gently caresses my stomach as I apologize to my unborn child. Like its older brother, it may also grow up without the comfort of a complete family. Even so, at the very least, both of their fathers are willing to support them. I guess that’s enough?I’m forced to temporarily break free from my depressing thoughts when my daily morning routine has come - buying groceries for
