ADAM’S POV Sophia and I are finally at the restaurant. Frankly speaking, I do not want to be here, but I am compelled to. Sophia thinks that carrying my child means that she owns me and this is something I despise- when women try to take control of my life and me. Here is Sophia, sitting in front of me, in a revealing dress that makes her look slutty. How I wish that the management could have had a dress code and not let us in, that would have been great. This so-called date could have been avoided. Unfortunately, nothing like that happened. “I’m glad that we can enjoy this moment like the old days,” Sophia says. I just nod. I am unbothered by the past I have left behind and here she is, trying to take me on the same track. She is not stupid and she somehow feels that I am not into her for a long time but she is forcing herself on me. I love kids, but that does not mean that I shall be her slave. What she does not know is that I am capable of being a single dad and chopping her of

ARIA’S POV How dare he touch me and ask me about my private matters! Why is he acting like he owns me? He has never been this way with me. Why this sudden change? “Aria is still my wife and you have no right to interfere in my private matter, Uncle Regis!” Adam exclaims in anger. “You’re so funny, Adam! I still don’t get it. Why aren’t you letting me go? You should be happy that I am out of your life and now you can enjoy your Sophia, no?!” I say sarcastically. I am not letting him control me like he used to do. “I don’t need anyone! I need you,” he tries to approach her, but all I see is his uncle getting between us. “Need?! Since when have you started needing me?! Does a marriage strife solely on needs or love or respect?” I ask. I know that Adam believes that his uncle must be my new man and that he is taking very good care of me when it should have been him instead. Why would he be jealous now? “Aria… We can sort out our marital issues together in private, rather than stan

REGIS’ POV “I regret even stepping into this company and into Adam’s life,” I hear Aria saying. I understand how she feels but if she had not stepped into that company, I would not have been introduced to such a lovely lady as Aria. How could I forget that day when for the first time, I saw Aria? Walking in her black pencil skirt, mid-heel pumps, dark grey blouse and hair done in a ponytail, I went completely head over heels for her. Those lovely large eyes, her lovely smile, her melodious voice and her slender frame turned my world upside down. “Welcome to the Miller Corporation,” Aria had said in the lobby and shook hands with me. I just could not control myself at that time and I felt so drawn to her. She was so polite to me, especially when she asked me what I would like to drink. I requested for a Cappuccino, but her beauty continued to mesmerize me. However, as she handed me the cup of coffee, it accidentally spilled on my black suit. Aria was horrified and she kept apol

ARIA’S POV Regis invited me to a party. Actually, I did not feel like it, but he said that now was the right time for me to focus on my career. In a way, he was right. These days, to forget everything that Adam has done to me, I need a distraction or rather, to be more selfish and take myself more seriously. Part of me wants to stay indoors and reflect on the events that have affected my life. But looking at the bright side, I am now free. I was alone in this relationship all along. I have shed blood, sweat and tears, yet what have I gotten in return? Lies, betrayals, ill-treatment and my freedom being taken away from me. Thinking about my dad angers me further. I have never felt safe around any men; not Adam and now my Dad. I wonder how my brothers will be. The only man who is my backbone is Regis. It seems that Grandpa and he understand me the most. I feel lazy to get ready for a party and the way Regis puts it, it is a big event. He is making sure every business tycoon in the U

ARIA’S POVWhen Regis and I reach the event, I can’t fail to notice that Regis' team has truly outdone themselves, meticulously crafting every detail to perfection.The air is alive with an electric energy, pulsating with anticipation and excitement. The venue itself is an architectural marvel; a seamless blend of modern elegance and timeless charm. As I enter, I am greeted by the soft glow of twinkling fairy lights, casting a warm and inviting aura over the space. The room is bathed in a soft, golden hue, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and luxury.My eyes sweep across the room, taking in the exquisite décor that surrounds us. Lush floral arrangements adorn every corner, their vibrant colors adding a touch of natural beauty to the elegant surroundings. The tables are adorned with delicate linens and sparkling crystal ware, reflecting the light in a dazzling display of opulence.Frankly speaking, I am in awe. However, there is mixed emotions coursing through me. I have never been

EVA’S POVI see Aria clicking on her Instagram from her phone, going to Stella Newton’s official account and tapping on her profile. In Stella's recent post, the latter is showing how she is creating her latest dress which to my utter horror; what Aria is currently wearing.The ladies who are gathered around us gasp as they see the video. I start to hear them say all kind of things.“Wow! She’s so lucky to get her dress made from Stella Newton,”“Do you even know how difficult it is to even get an appointment from her boutique?“I tried to get her to design my dress for this event, but I was on the waiting list,”As I watch Aria strut in her Stella Newton dress, a surge of rage flooded my senses, burning hotter with every step she takes. How dare she flaunt her undeserved privilege? The sight of her confidence and pride only fuels the fire within me, igniting a primal urge to lash out.Her smirk, so smug and self-assured, taunts me like a red rag to a bull. I clench my fists, feelin

ARIA’S POV As the wine soaks into my dress, a surge of shock and disbelief course through me. How could they stoop so low? But as I glance at their faces, twisted in a mix of horror and surprise, a smirk tug at the corners of my lips. They had expected anger, outrage, perhaps even tears, but instead, they found me revelling in the chaos they had wrought. I refuse the offered tissues from the other ladies nearby, my resolve steeling as I meet Eva and Sophia’s gazes with defiance. I am not going to let them see me falter, not now, not ever. This is my moment, my special day, and nothing—not even a splash of wine—is going to ruin it. But beneath the surface, a simmering anger bubbles, not at their attempt to sabotage me, but at the audacity of their actions. How dare they try to tarnish this day, this moment that I have worked so hard for? In that instant, the laughter and applause of the crowd fade into the background, replaced by the pounding of my heart and the rush of adrenaline

ARIA’S POV Adam is appalled at my guts. Before, what used to be said to me in public, I used to be very submissive. Now, things have changed. As he puts it, I have changed. It is a total transformation and the breaking of the shackles. The woman who stands before him is more adamant and resilient. “We’re in public and you can’t keep quiet, Aria?!” I see it in Adam's eyes—the expectation for me to conform, to play the role of the submissive one while Eva emerges victorious. It is a script he is all too familiar with, one where I remain silent and compliant, allowing others to dictate the terms of my existence. “Do I care what you think about me or expect from me?” Adam seems frustrated, arguing with me. He is giving up and I am loving it. I shall do my best to hurt him at each and every occasion I get. I am sparing no one. At that moment, Regis approaches me, removes his jacket and covers the stain on my dress. Yes, the dress is black, but the marks are already showing. It is lik

ARIA’S POVLydia’s tears dry up as she slowly turns away, ready to leave the hospital room. Her steps are hesitant, burdened by the weight of everything she’s confessed, and by the knowledge that she might be walking out of Ethan’s life forever. There’s a palpable sense of finality in the way she carries herself, like someone resigned to their fate.But just as her hand reaches the door, Ethan calls out her name.“Lydia.”Everyone freezes for a moment. Lydia stops in her tracks, her back still turned, and I can see the subtle rise and fall of her shoulders as she takes in what just happened. The room is tense, filled with emotions that swirl and collide like waves in a storm, but the sound of Ethan’s voice cuts through it all.“Who told you to leave?”He tells Lydia that he wants to give their relationship another chance.The words hang in the air, a shockwave that ripples through the room. I glance at Ethan’s parents, who stiffen at the unexpected declaration, but they remain silent,
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 445
ARIA’S POVAs soon as Ethan gazes at Lydia, her face crumples, tears welling up in her eyes, most likely because she knows she is about to lose him. The weight of everything she has done, both in the past and more recently, seems to crash down on her. Her vulnerability is unmistakable, and it’s clear that she fears this might be the end of whatever she and Ethan had built together in this strange in-between space where his memory had been absent.Ethan’s expression hardens as he processes the reality of the situation. He’s upset, and it's easy to see why. For weeks, months even, his parents had believed him to be lost, possibly dead, while Lydia kept him hidden from the people who loved him most. His emotions are a swirl of confusion, betrayal, and anger as he turns to Lydia, waiting for an explanation. The air between them grows thick with unspoken accusations, the kind that don’t need words to make their impact.Lydia’s sobs grow more frantic as she tries to defend herself, her voic

ARIA’S POV“I’m not here to take Ethan from you… We’re just best friends. Nothing more.”“What?”“It was just a charade at your engagement.”All of a sudden, the nurse informs us that Ethan has woken up. My heart races as I see the reaction from everyone around me. Without wasting a second, we all rush into his room. Ethan’s eyes are open, and the first thing he does is call out to his parents.There’s a moment of palpable relief as his mother and father rush to his side, elation lighting up their faces. They hold him close, their hands trembling with emotion, and for the first time in a long while, they seem to have a piece of peace back in their lives.But what stands out most is that Ethan doesn’t even look at Lydia. Not once. Her presence, once central to his confusion, seems to fade into the background. She stands near the door, frozen, her eyes glassy with unshed tears as she watches the reunion. I don’t know whether it’s fear, regret, or sadness that’s written on her face, but
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 443
ARIA’S POV“I’m not letting you take Ethan from me.”Lydia sits next to me, vulnerable in a way I’ve never seen before. She begins speaking softly, revealing her regrets and the reasons behind her actions. She admits that her past choices were driven by greed and a hunger for wealth, and that those choices led her to hurt Ethan and her ex-fiancé. She speaks of how, after fleeing to Arizona to escape the wreckage of her old life, she found Ethan on the shore, lost and helpless. In that moment, she says, she saw not the man she had wronged but someone she could help. Someone who needed her.It’s difficult to fully believe her, but something about her story rings true. The way she talks about Ethan and her past mistakes feels raw and genuine, not the calculated coldness I once associated with her. She explains that when Ethan didn’t remember anything—not his name, not his family, not even his old life—he still remembered her.“We’re meant to be together. Else, he wouldn’t have landed her
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 442
ARIA’S POVWe’re all seated in the waiting area of the hospital, the sterile smell and bright lights only adding to the tension. Ethan’s parents, sitting across from me, glance in my direction every so often, their frowns deepening as if my mere presence is an offense.It’s not the first time I’ve seen that look on their faces, and it probably won’t be the last. But what baffles me is how they’ve chosen to forget about Lydia entirely. She’s sitting in the corner of the room, arms folded, her face pale and tight with worry. I can’t tell if she’s genuinely concerned for Ethan or if this is all just another one of her well-rehearsed acts.I lean back in my chair, trying to process it all. At least the Mitchells had realized that their son had lost his memory before I even had the chance to explain. It was painfully obvious—his reaction when he saw them, the way his body gave out from the shock.He fainted because it was too much for him. Yet, here they are, acting like I’m the villain in
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 441
ARIA’S POVLydia seems to sense that she’s outnumbered. She glares at us for a moment, then steps aside, opening the door fully. We enter the house, the air thick with tension. I glance around, spotting the packed boxes in the corner. They were planning to leave, just as I suspected.I spot Ethan standing in the living room. He’s casually scrolling through his phone, but the second he looks up and sees me, there’s a flicker of recognition in his eyes. I hold my breath, waiting for some kind of reaction. But then, his parents step in behind me, and that’s when everything changes.Ethan freezes. His phone slips out of his hand and clatters onto the floor, but his gaze is locked on his parents. I can practically see the gears turning in his mind, as if something deep inside him is suddenly being unlocked. His face goes pale, and his eyes widen in shock.And then, just as quickly as it all hits him, Ethan stumbles back, clutching his head. He takes a few shaky steps before collapsing to t
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 440
ARIA’S POVI sit in my car, my eyes on the house as the night falls deeper. All the windows are dark, the curtains drawn, and not a single sign of movement inside. It’s almost midnight, and it doesn’t look like Lydia and Ethan are going anywhere tonight.Still, I can’t afford to take any risks. If I leave or let my guard down for even a second, who knows what they might do. Maybe they’ll sneak out in the early hours, slip away when no one is watching.But exhaustion is catching up to me. The rented car is spacious enough, well-equipped for a long night of waiting. I’ve pinned my location for the people I’ve summoned here—they’ll call when they’re close. I settle into the seat, finally allowing myself a moment to rest. There’s no harm in taking a quick nap while I wait.I drift off, my mind a swirl of thoughts and plans. Every scenario plays out in my head; confronting Lydia, pulling Ethan out of there, making sure he’s safe. It’s not peaceful sleep by any means, but it’s something.Ho
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 439
ARIA’S POVMy stomach churns with hunger, but the idea of stepping away from my spot, even for a moment, feels out of the question. I’ve been sitting here, fixated on the house, watching every movement behind those walls. It’s like Lydia and Ethan are carrying on with their perfect little life, while I’m stuck out here, trying to figure out what to do next.I have moved too far now to catch their conversation clearly, and their voices aren’t as loud as they were before. On top of that, before they notice me, I have to make sure I keep my distance.The sight of them earlier, packing boxes, moving around like they’re planning to skip town, is enough to make my blood boil. I can’t let that happen.I need to eat, I need to think, but there’s no way I can leave the area, not even for a second. They could take off, and I’d have no idea where they would go. If I lose track of them, it could be the last time I ever see Ethan. The thought alone makes my heart race.Then, I spot a kid in the di
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 438
ARIA’S POVI got the address and I head directly to the place to spy on Ethan and Lydia. My first step is to observe the surrounding and checking on their movements.“Aiden, love. Shall I keep this in the bag?”“Yes, baby.”She is addressing him as Aiden, and I roll my eyes in exasperation.As I watch from my hidden spot, I can barely contain the rage boiling inside me. Ethan, living a normal life with that deceitful witch, Lydia, like they’re some kind of perfect couple. How can he not see through her lies?My heart races, each second feeling like an eternity. She’s manipulating him, keeping him trapped in this farce, and it’s beyond infuriating. Ethan’s family has no idea he’s even alive, and meanwhile, he’s here, with her, under this disgusting illusion of love.But then something changes. I notice a flurry of activity at their house. Boxes. Bags. They’re packing up. My eyes narrow, and I feel a sudden rush of panic. This isn’t just spring cleaning or a casual weekend trip—they’re
