Second Chance With Her Ruthless Billionaire Husband CHAPTER ONE: THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL.
ANYA'S POV: “Harder Adrian!! Harder!!! Ahhhhhhnnn!!!” Nyssa moans in an unabashed tone. My hand flies to my mouth as I find it hard to believe what I'm hearing. It doesn't take a genius to guess that the people in the office are having sex. My ears literally start to bleed at the continuous and loud moans. I'm not naturally a prude, but seeing that it's my husband in the room, I guess my reaction is justified. “Oh! Oh! You feel so good Adrian!!” She moans loudly once more, confirming that I hadn't heard wrong the first time. My heart drops to the bottom of my stomach, and goosebumps suddenly erupt all over my skin. My heart is almost ready to beat out of my chest. I'm overcome with immense fear as a part of me wants to escape from here before he finds out that I'm aware of his affair, but another part of me knows that I can't ignore this. Tears fill my eyes and start rolling down my cheeks in torrents. I continue to cry silently as my husband fucks his secretary who is also his

ADRIAN'S POV: ‘Something is wrong.’ I can't help but acknowledge, in frustration and anger. My nerves are completely frayed and I feel extremely irritable and out of control. I grind my jaw together as I begin to question myself on why I'm so bothered that Anya didn't attempt to try to convince me not to go on with the divorce. If she had, maybe I wouldn't feel this guilty. But that's bullshit! She's nothing more than a gold digger who was given to my family in exchange for the payment of a debt. “Fuck!” I curse under my breath, completely torn and confused about this whole thing. Why am I feeling this way? I was very certain about wanting this divorce a few hours ago, so what has changed?I squeeze my hands tightly into fists, my narrowed gaze glued to the door she just walked out from. I feel an odd tightening in my chest, a feeling I've never associated with her. Her pathetic father couldn't pay us back, so we had to take the payment by another means. She misused the money, a

ADRIAN'S POV: Theo Lennox. The fucking bastard who tried to steal Anya away from me after our marriage. I narrow my eyes at him, totally unimpressed by his presence. I fold my arms across my chest with a snarl on my lips as I wait for him to get closer. Thalia gasps in shock from beside me as she eyes him with a sly look in her eyes that pisses me off. It's just like her to go after the one man who is forbidden. My family is off limits for the fucking bastard. “What the fuck are you doing here?!” I ask, my rage visible through my words as I step closer to him, my hands clenched tight into fists. “I heard that Anya was in an accident.” Theo says, his words dropping with concern as he looks around the empty hallway. Thalia scoffs from beside me, and I can feel the rage emanating from her just at the mention of Anya's name. It's almost as if I'm seeing things from a new light. Things I was blind to all this while. Anya might not be the bad person my family and Nyssa were making h

ANYA'S POV: “Enough!” Adrian says in a cold and loud tone, drawing the attention of all the reporters standing around us. I'm too strung up tight, and shaking too badly to even appreciate his effort. “Adrian, I don't think it's wise for you to engage with them. They are here to interview Anya. Maybe you should let them, after all she's the one under fire for embarrassing the family.” Thalia spits out, her lips squeezed into a hateful and bitter line. Just as always, she's willing to throw me to the wolves for the family’s image as if I'm not married to her brother. A lone tear rolls down my cheek as I fully expect Adrian to do as she has said and stop defending me, but his next words shock me. Adrian steps away from his sister's touch as he pulls me closer himself. “My wife will not be answering any of your questions. Stay the hell away from her, or I will make sure that you all lose your fucking jobs.” “What the hell are you doing, Adrian?! Why do you want this pitiful girl to d

My eyes gloss over as they remain trained on Nyssa. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around her level of audacity. I grit my teeth in rage as my shock slowly morphs into anger. Of course I should have expected this. This is the only way Nyssa knows to get back into Adrian’s good graces, and that’s by throwing me under the bus. I guess one thing they both bonded over is their obvious disdain for me. I can feel everyone’s attention on me, and even though Adrian’s gaze is narrowed at Nyssa, I just know he’s also anticipating my response. “Don’t you think it’s a little unfair? Making such accusations knowing full well that I have no way to defend myself. I lost my memories, and I’m appalled that you all are willing to gang up on me this way.” The words escape my lips in a hollow tone as my eyes glisten with tears. It’s not hard to fake the tears as I’m already overcome with the immense urge to cry my eyes out for every single thing that I’ve gone through. “I’m not trying to ruin a

I calmly step out of the Uber, refusing to let Adrian’s anger determine my mood. I know he will just love to see me ruffled by his presence. My heart tightens with nervousness, but I don’t show it in my face. “What are you doing here, Anya?” Adrian asks as he cocks his head to the right, assessing me, “Shouldn’t you be at home resting?” He adds when I don’t respond immediately to his question. My palm is completely cold in nervousness, but I squeeze it tightly to avoid the shaking. “I wanted to pay a visit to my father’s grave, but when I was done, I realized I needed a job.” I offer the first explanation that comes to my mind. Adrian seems visibly upset by my response, but I don’t cave. Adrian never allowed me to work in the past, and now that I look at it, it was only a way to keep me under his thumb, and he succeeded very well. But this time, I won’t let him dictate my life. He can either get on board or stay in my dust, I really don’t care. “What are you doing here, Adrian?” I

ANYA’S POV: My assailant let’s out a strangled scream of pain as I bite on the thumb of the hand covering my mouth. The person snatches their hand back, and I whip around to face them. My hand freefalls to the bottom of my stomach as I get a good look at the person dressed in black jeans and a black tee shirt. Anger flits through my veins as I whip the black cap off the person’s head. “What the hell is your problem, Theo?!” The words escaping my lips in a furious whisper as I glare at him. Theo merely smirks at me as he takes a step forward, attempting to engulf me in a hug, but I sidestep him, still miffed by the risk he has put up both in. “Is there a problem, Mrs Vasilis?” The manager calls out from just outside the door, and I go still, scared to move lest I summon Adrian. “Um… no… everything is okay.” I answer hurriedly as I try to hide the tremor in my voice. I turn towards Theo, a sigh of relief escaping my lips when the manager walks away. “Why would you come here? You

“Are you okay with the dresses, Ma’am?” A nervous voice belonging to the manager of the boutique brings me out of my reverie. My lips curl into a strained smile as I turn away from the mirror and towards her. “They are all perfect. They fit like a second skin.” I volunteer in a dry tone. I can see the instant relief on the manager's face and I can’t help but feel a little guilty at the unreasonable pressure placed on them by Adrian. I can just imagine Adrian chopping their heads if they make one measly mistake. “I will be waiting outside.” The manager says before slipping out of the changing room. I’m kind of shocked that she even found me here considering how I made a hasty escape from the main area of the boutique. I couldn’t handle the side of Adrian that he was portraying to me. It’s almost like a ghost or a soul changing spirit has inhabited his body, making him act strangely. Like always, I expected him to take his mothers orders and drop me as his partner for the ball, but

Second Chance With Her Ruthless Billionaire Husband CHAPTER SIXTEEN: A JOB AT HIS COMPANY.
ANYA’S POV: “Adrian –” I start to call out, but the name dies on my lips as the glass is immediately rolled up. I frown in confusion at the suspicious actions of the person in the car, but before I can step closer to get a clearer look at the car, the person drives away speedily, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. I pull down the arms of my knitted sweater as I try to drive away the chill that suddenly takes over my body. I try to shake off the dark feelings from my heart and clear my head, but it’s hard. Nico will always be in the back of my mind and forever in my heart. With a fist sized lump in my throat, I call for a cab, collapsing into the passenger seat, unable to hold myself up any longer. I stare out at the scenery whipping past us, and my lips curl up into a bitter smile. Maybe one day eventually, I will be able to remember Nico without feeling this debilitating pain in my chest. ————————————————ANYA’S POV: My alarm goes off, and a groan escapes my lips as I roll t
Second Chance With Her Ruthless Billionaire Husband CHAPTER FIFTEEN: NEWSPAPER HEADLINES.
ANYA’S POV: I feel a cold hand on my shoulder, and I can’t help but turn to face the owner of the hand. Staring at the stranger's face helps me regain back my control and emotionless facade. Focusing on the man dressed in a black plain two piece suit, I realize that I don’t recognize him from our earlier bout of introductions. The man must notice my confusion because he immediately holds out his hand, an easy smile on his lips as he introduces himself; “Lucas Grant.” I stretch out my hand, wrapping my fingers around his, “Anya.” I say on impulse, leaving out Adrian’s middle name. Lucas notices it immediately, and the edge of his lips curls up into a slight smirk. “I would love to dance with you, Miss Anya.” Lucas says as he continues to hold onto my arm. I suddenly feel slightly irritated by his touch, but I force it downwards, already making up my mind to accept his offer. I don’t correct the title he added before my name as I see no need to. “I would love to.” I finally respon
Second Chance With Her Ruthless Billionaire Husband CHAPTER FOURTEEN: SITTING ARRANGEMENT.
ANYA’S POV: Adrian rushes towards Theo, punching him hard across his jaw before he can step out of the way. He grabs him by the collar of his shirt and he knocks him to the ground. Chaos ensues as everyone rushes closer to find out what’s going on, but Adrian doesn’t pay them any mind. It’s a good thing reporters aren’t allowed into the main hall, but Adrian should already know that his actions would bring bad publicity to his company. I can’t help the anger that surges through my veins as I rush forward to try to get him to stop. Knowing that I can’t physically push him off Theo, I have to reason with him. “Let him go, Adrian! He was just messing with you.” I say through gritted teeth as I try to tug him off a bloodied Theo, my hands wrapped tightly around his bicep. My temperature spikes through the roof and I start to seriously worry for Theo’s life. I feel extremely guilty for putting him through this. I can understand that he’s righteously angry on my behalf, but I guess I
Second Chance With Her Ruthless Billionaire Husband CHAPTER THIRTEEN: TAUNTING HIM.
ANYA’S POV: My lips curl into a wide and joyous smirk as I take in their wide eyed expressions. I don’t think I’ve been this excited for anything in the past. I’m pretty sure the old me wouldn’t have dared to do this, but it’s almost as if my personality and soul changed with that accident or it could also be that I’m too exhausted with all that they have put me through and it’s finally time to get my own lick back. Nyssa clears her throat as she spares Irene a quick glance before turning towards Adrian. She lifts her hands to his arms, softly tugging on his suit to get his full attention and then she turns to me. “Why couldn’t you just admit defeat, Anya?!” Nyssa sneers at me, her gaze burning with anger, “Did you have to go ahead and embarrass Irene?!” “You would rather I take the fall for something I had nothing to do with?!” I scoff at her words, while rolling my eyes at all their shocked expressions. Nyssa looks taken aback for a second before regaining herself. “But you ar
Second Chance With Her Ruthless Billionaire Husband CHAPTER TWELVE: RECORDING.
ANYA’S POV: I hate that I’m hesitant to go on with my revenge plan against this maid, but I guess I can make use of her in other ways. My mood becomes infinitely better as a plan forms in my mind. The maid stumbles backward in fear when I step closer to her. She will be paying, but only with her fear and anxiety. I guess her worrying everyday about what I might ask of her is enough to satiate my anger at the moment. “Fine, I forgive you.” I say with a bitter smile on my lips. The maid’s eyes are wide in disbelief, but I guess she finally convinced herself to trust me. Too bad for her. “Thank you. Thank you very much.” “But you owe me one. And I will be cashing in on that favour very soon.” I say with a sneer on my lips. The maid’s eyes widen in horror but I guess she realizes that that’s as good as she’s going to get, so she just nods her head in acceptance rather than argue with me. I turn my back on her, prepared to storm out of the room, but a thought stops me in my tracks a
Second Chance With Her Ruthless Billionaire Husband CHAPTER ELEVEN: DEADLY ALLERGY.
ANYA’S POV: I clench my fists in anger as I storm out of the closet. I run my hands through my hair in frustration, unsure about what to do next. I’m totally and completely doomed. My eyes fly to the digital clock sitting on my bedside cupboard, and I see that it’s barely three hours before the event is scheduled to start. There’s absolutely no way I will be able to get a dress worthy of the occasion in this short time. My lips curve into a bitter smile as I can already imagine what the crowd's expression would be like when I turn up at the event in a dress I’ve already worn before. It might seem dramatic, but ever since the death of Nico, I’ve been torn down and criticized by the public so often that it feels normal to me. This was my only chance to change their mind about me, but now Thalia and Irene have stolen that chance from me. This goes farther than the villagers being materialistic assholes, but rather the fact that my outfit would signify the level of support I’m willing
Second Chance With Her Ruthless Billionaire Husband CHAPTER TEN: LITTLE GIFTS.
ANYA’S POV: “I need your help.” I press the send button while biting my nails, waiting impatiently for Theo’s response. I can still hear Irene’s voice, but it seems like I’m no longer an interesting topic of discussion. Given all Dimitri Vasilis took from me and my dad, one would think that they would be remorseful and treat me nicely, but instead, they are so loud in their disrespect and hatred for me. A scoff escapes my lips as I remember how often I used to stay up late at night trying to figure out why Adrian and his family hated me. To Adrian, I was nothing more than an opportunist who trapped him with the help of his father and to his mother and sister, I was the stupid bitch who wouldn’t just die with her father. Theo’s response comes almost immediately as I’m notified with a “ding” sound. “Anything.” His response is curt, simple and straight to the point. “I want you to find me the most decent event planning agency in the city. One who wouldn’t betray me.” My hands fly ov
Second Chance With Her Ruthless Billionaire Husband CHAPTER NINE: COLD JUICE.
ANYA’S POV: My eyes spring open just as I’m doused with a cup of cold water – not enough to soak the beddings, but just enough to make me leap off the bed. I fall onto the ground with a loud “oomph” sound, pain radiating up my arms. “What the fuck!” I screech in anger before turning my glare on the person who is currently holding the empty cup. My mood darkens when I find Nyssa staring at me with a satisfied smirk on her lips. “What the hell is wrong with you?!” I demand in anger as I rise to my feet. “It’s just entertaining to see you fall off the bed like a trained dog.” Nyssa says with a bright expression on her face that sets me off. “You bitch! How entertaining is it to invade the privacy of a married woman? A woman married to a man who despises you?” I ask with a sneer on my lips, emphasizing the last part of my question. It brings me immense joy to see the smirk wiped off her face. Adrian has always been a sore spot for her, and without his attention or approval, she beco
