My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 150
ARIA’S POVAfter the business party, I was overwhelmed by what Nathan and Regis did for me. Their gestures touched me deeply, yet the scrutiny of so many eyes left me apprehensive, fearing I might end up in the headlines once more.Adam, on the other hand, was completely baffled when he witnessed both Nathan and Regis laying their expensive jackets on the wet ground to protect my precious sheepskin leather shoes from the rain.I never expected them to go to such extremes for me, but I truly appreciated it. Adam has never treated me with such care, and I could see the horror on his face. It must have been a shock for him to realize that there are men who would do anything for me, something he could never have imagined.I hope he learns—not for me of course, but for the future wife he may choose.Anyways, I need to push thoughts of Adam out of my mind at any cost. Every encounter with him is like reopening old wounds, and I'm exhausted from seeing him after the divorce. The frustration a

ARIA’S POVAfter signing the contract with Tanya’s company, Clark included her in one of his projects with Nathan and me. I really don't understand why Clark keeps bringing people who have issues with me into our projects. However, I do my best to focus all my attention on the work rather than on my personal relationships with them.If Tanya falls head over heels for Adam again, she'll undoubtedly see me as competition, even though I'm no longer part of this love triangle. I can't go around shouting to everyone entering my life that Adam and I are no longer together, nor is there any future possibility of us being together.One thing I've noticed is that Tanya has a penchant for older men, typically those at least ten years her senior. It frustrates me that she might see me as a rival, especially when Regis is merely a good friend and mentor to me; there's nothing romantic between us. Tanya has a clear path, but she needs to use her head. If a man isn’t interested in her, she should b

ARIA’S POVI accompany Regis to the art exhibition with mixed feelings. Regis has been telling me that this exhibition is one of a kind, featuring renowned artists from around the world showcasing their latest creations. The excitement of seeing such incredible art mingles with a bittersweet longing for the dreams I once had.“You’ll love it, Aria. I’m sure.”Yet, I am a bit nervous about meeting Julien. I wonder why am I even getting so worked up. Even if I do meet him, what can even happen? I had heard that he moved back to France years later after I graduated.For an artist like Julien, city life doesn't suit him much; he's always been captivated by Moret-sur-Loing, a quaint village near Paris. I can't wait to see what he's painted this time.The best part is that Julien is Regis' favorite painter. He constantly praises Julien's work, and hearing such wonderful words about my mentor from another mentor fills me with elation. It’s a rare and special feeling, knowing that someone I a

ARIA’S POV“Julien!”The word slips out easily from my mouth, causing others to turn their gaze towards me, curious about how casually I refer to Julien by his first name.“Hi, Aria. Good to see you after so long.”As soon as Julien mentions my name and speaks to me only, everyone around me gasps. His alluring French accent adds to the moment, and I realize how much I've missed hearing it. Julien hasn’t changed at all.He remains as captivating as ever, his presence as magnetic as his art. His charm and elegance are just as I remember, and the way he engages with everyone around him is truly enchanting. It's clear that his charisma extends beyond his paintings, making him a fascinating individual both on and off the canvas.“How do you know each other?”Regis is pleasantly surprised and he questions, while I notice Adam and Tanya eagerly awaiting our response. Their expressions betray a mix of curiosity and anticipation.“I’m happy that you haven’t lost touch on art and glad that you’

ARIA’S POVThat was indeed unexpected from both Tanya and Julien. However, knowing Julien, he can be quite savage at times when someone pushes his buttons. His sharp wit and unapologetic nature often catch people off guard, especially in situations like this.Tanya's expression shifts to one of embarrassment as Julien retorts sharply at her. It's clear she's taken aback by his unexpected response, her confidence momentarily shaken. All she was trying to do was impress the Millers, but it ends up backfiring badly and I wonder what she’ll do next.The anger is evident on her face—her eyes narrow, her lips press into a tight line, and her cheeks flush with frustration. She struggles to maintain her composure, but the embarrassment and fury simmer just beneath the surface, making her look even more agitated.Just as Julien is trying to ignore Tanya and talking to Regis and me, we hear her lashing out.“How dare you! Do you even know who I’m? I can buy anything and anyone I want!”There sh

TANYA’S POVI can't express how furious I am right now. I've always been respected, and now I've been publicly disgraced. I'm certain the media will have something to report tomorrow morning. The humiliation and anger are overwhelming, overshadowing any sense of composure or restraint.What does Regis think of himself? All these men are vying for my attention, eager for even a glance from me, and here he is, turning me down. For whom?! I’ve always had men at my feet, professing their love, but when I confessed to Regis Miller, he turned me down.I am not the one to give up. So, I kept on trying. When I asked him to join me tonight at the exhibition, he had said that he was not interested since he had someone else accompanying him.The reason I came here tonight was to see who was that someone and here I am met by this bitch, Aria! Wherever we go, she’s always there, either with Nathan, Adam, or Regis. Doesn’t she have any girlfriends to hang around with?I can’t understand what’s so g

ARIA’S POVJulien is in town for only a month, hosting a workshop that’s attracting many talented artists. I decide to join in during my free time; I can’t let this opportunity slip away. This is my chance to reconnect with my passion for art and learn from one of the best.Moreover, being around Julien after so many years enlightens my soul. He has always been like a big brother to me, offering advice about life and providing emotional and moral support. The thought of reconnecting with him and reigniting my passion for art fills me with a deep sense of joy and anticipation.I'm genuinely proud to see my mentor shine and not merely confined to a college as a professor. Julien has faced his own struggles and obstacles before reaching this level of success. His journey has been long and challenging, yet ultimately fruitful. It reminds me of why I stepped back from pursuing art myself—Grandma's medical expenses needed to be covered, and I needed a secure job to provide for both of us wh

ARIA’S POVJulien’s words bug me a little. While I know I can’t stay too long without anyone, I’m scared of relationships. I’ve never gotten pampered, loved or acknowledge at any given time, yet I continued to burn myself for Adam and other’s happiness. While I’ve learned my lesson, I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes or end up in a worse situation. I am kind of happy with my current life.I cherish my independence and the freedom to explore new projects, each one contributing to my growth. Moving from one venture to another across various fields, I constantly expand my knowledge and skills, relishing the opportunity to learn and evolve every day.We are currently involved in urban redevelopment, and the work is absolutely fascinating. Revitalizing old and underutilized urban areas, as well as creating a new neighborhood within our city, is truly a privilege.Therefore, I have to be near the site almost every day to supervise the work. I've been assigned a small but comfortable o

My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 446
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
My Secret Billionaire Ex-wife CHAPTER 444
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
