Life after divorce: The billionaire’s crazy proposal 056
I swallowed, my mouth suddenly dry. “You didn't answer my question…” I hesitated before asking. “You said I'm the last to know… I don't understand. What don't I know?” He didn't answer and just stared at me, a knowing grin on his face. Just as I opened my mouth to speak, he raised a finger, slowly wagging it in front of my face before reaching into his jacket. His eyes met mine before he brought out a black envelope and placed it on the table between us. “Why don’t you see for yourself?” I hesitated before reaching for it, my fingers trembling as I opened the envelope and saw three photos inside. “What is this?” I asked, my voice filled with trepidation. “It's right in front of you so check it out yourself,” He shrugged as he picked up the cutleries. My eyes fell back on the envelope and I exhaled slowly before pulling out one. My brows furrowed together in confusion as I stared at the picture. Rolling my eyes, I raised it, “So? It's just Cole and Amber in a restaurant.” And h

LILITH Marcella's eyes narrowed, her voice sharp as she asked. “Why are you asking?” I blinked, faking innocence. “I just said I was trying to reach you. It was the first time I'd been unable to reach you so I was concerned.” I said, my voice low and soft as though her words hurt me. Guilt flashed across her eyes. She sighed before saying, “I was…” she paused, probably wondering whether to tell me the truth or lie. “I was just asleep, and turned my phone off.” Her eyes didn't leave mine, watching to see my reaction. My heart sank to my stomach as I realized she wasn't who I thought she was, but I still chose to hold on to the hope that there was some misunderstanding. Maybe she just didn't want me to worry about it. Why do you keep letting them take you for an idiot, Lilith? The voice in my head asked, but I blocked it out. Marcella wouldn't betray me. She lied, but… there was a reason. She was the only good thing marrying into Cole's family brought me. Everyone else

AMBER Could I have misheard him? I wondered as I headed for my room, exhaustion setting deep in my bones. Each step felt heavier than the last, and all I wanted was to collapse onto my bed. A sigh left my lips as I pushed open the door. My eyes flickered around the room, my mood dampening when I didn't see Curtis anywhere. Whatever! He was the reason I went through so much in one night. I kicked off my shoes before neatly arranging them on the shoe rack and plopping down on the bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling. I wondered if I overreacted with Cole. Nah, he deserved more than that. Curtis wouldn't go ballistic if he didn't do anything serious to me—he didn't care that much. The thought of what Cole might have done made me shudder, but thinking about it wouldn't make me remember. I didn't want to recall it either, so I shoved it to the back of my mind. Immediately, Lilith popped up in my mind. Something about how casual, yet specific her questions were unsettled me, but there

CURTIS Aidbe was the kind of restaurant where only the right people got in. No reservations, no waiting lists. If you had to ask how to get a table, you weren’t important enough. It thrived on exclusivity, where privacy was a given and silence was the real price of entry. Aiden sat across from me, pouring himself the fourth glass of wine like it was his first time tasting it. His ever-present smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth, and his hood was up, shadowing his face. I guess his aesthetic for December was mysterious and brooding. No matter how much I thought about it, probably once, it was childish. He looked every bit like a man who didn’t take anything seriously, except money. And that was exactly what he was. This was the very reason we could be nothing more than business partners. I set my glass down. “I need things to get worse for Cole.”

CLINT The knock on my office door was soft and hesitant. I didn’t look up from my screen. “What?” Sophie stepped inside, carefully shutting the door behind her. “Sir, I…” She said, her voice trembling. I glanced up, a frown on my face. She was standing stiffly, hands clasped in front of her. The usual bright energy she emanated was replaced by wariness, like she was afraid of me. That irritated me. “Spit it out!,” I ordered, Her trembling moved from just her fingers to her entire body. “What is this? Are you trying to seduce me, because you are simply wasting both our time,” I drawled, leaning back in my seat as my eyes roamed her body. She shook her head furiously, pinching her arm to stay calm. “I’m not!” Her voice was firm, anger flashing through her eyes. “Then what did you come here for and watch your tone.”

Silence hung in the air, thick, suffocating, and I could almost touch the tension in the air. His eyes scanned the room, stopping when they landed on me. Relief flashed through his eyes, but there was something else that made me feel as though he could see through my facade, and I instantly broke eye contact.Genevieve shot up from her seat, her chair scraping harshly against the floor. The silverware rattled as she slammed her hands against the table. “What the hell are you doing here?” Her voice was sharp, dripping with fury.“Is that any way to greet family?” He took a step inside, completely at ease, like there weren't daggers coming at him from every direction.”Genevieve let out a scoff, before turning to Annie. “Is this what you wanted to tell us about? Annie didn't respond, quietly eating her food, as though she was oblivious to all that was happening around her, but the way she aggressively sliced the lamb told a different story.The lack of reaction seemed to fuel Genevieve’

Lilith let out a chuckle. “You should’ve seen your face,” she said, her laughing fading into a smile. “Why were you just standing there alone?”I exhaled slowly, relieved she didn’t catch me eavesdropping on Genevieve, not that it mattered. Then again, I couldn't trust anyone in this house but Curtis. My lips parted to speak, but I stopped, realizing the opportunity before me. Letting out a tired sigh, I pressed a hand to my head, and said, “I was on my way to the kitchen, but then…” I paused, shaking my head slightly. “I’m not sure, but I think I remembered something from my past… I-I might be getting my memories back.”This was easier and more natural than a full-blown family conference. Now that she knew, it was only a matter of time before everyone else did. Her hands flew to her mouth, eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Really? Your memories are back?” She sniffled before rushing forward, pulling me into a tight hug. As though she'd touched hot iron, she immediately pulled away

Amber A scream, escaped my throat at the intense pain I was feeling between my legs. Beads of perspiration adorned my face while the nurses encouraged me to push. “Push miss…you are almost there.” They’d scream at me and I was trying. I was trying to do as instructed but I could feel my strength slipping from me, every passing minute. “Push!” The pain… was something I’d never felt before. I wish the baby would come out sooner or I fear I may not be able to push any further. I could feel my hole tear to let the baby’s head through and a nurse confirmed it. “You are almost there.” She encouraged me while the rest parted my legs even further. I can’t…I can’t do this. The pain, it’s extreme and it’s something I wouldn’t want to wish on anyone. My pain. “Open your damn eyes and push! Don’t be lazy!” Clint, my husband growled at me. My heart skipped a bit as he glared down at me. “I swear Amber, if you lose the baby, we are over!” I could feel his grip on me, tightening. His nails d

Marcella was the only woman he cared about. The man he used to be was nothing but a facade he wore to lure me in. The water cascaded down my body, blending with the tears that refused to stop. It was warm, yet it did nothing to dull the pain clawing at my heart. I slid down the wall of the shower, my sob louder. Before we got married, he loved me… I thought he did. He showered me with affection and attention until he won my heart and we got married. I thought it was a ‘He fell first, but she fell harder’ situation, but it didn't take too long for me to find out he never loved me.The way he looked at Marcella during the family gatherings. It was subtle but I noticed it because it was the same way he looked at me before we got married. Eventually, he confessed he only married me because I had her eyes.I scoffed as I recalled how he had said it like there was nothing wrong with it… like he hadn't toyed with and caged my heart all because he thought my eyes were like hers. If that was

LILITHHe wasn't answering his calls. I paced around the living room, contemplating calling the cops to report him missing or let his family know I couldn't find him. But if I did and it turned out he was fine, he wouldn't take it lightly. He wouldn't see it as me worrying about him, but being a weak woman that was desperate for attention.He wasn't entirely wrong. I was desperate for his attention.I already sent the kids to the family house so they wouldn't have to see me panicking, and have another reason to complain about their father. It hurt me to see their tender hearts hold such anger towards him despite how much he doted on them.Exhausted from waiting all night, I sank into the couch, my body giving in the moment my head hit the backrest. I wasn’t sure how long I slept, but the sound of tires crunching over gravel jolted me awake.My heart leaped.I shot up from the couch, racing to the door. “Cole. You’re back,” I breathed, relief flooding through me, until he walked throug
