Knoxx‘s Point of ViewI barely look up from my laptop when Dolly struts into my office, her heels clicking against the polished marble floor. I already know she wants something. Dolly never shows up without an agenda."Did you hear?" she starts, plopping down into the chair across from me without an invitation. "The International Jewelry Design Competition is coming up."I exhale sharply through my nose, still typing. "And?"Dolly leans forward, eyes sparkling with excitement. "And it’s the perfect opportunity for me! I’ve already submitted my designs, and I know I’ll make it to the finals."I finally look up, unimpressed. "You seem awfully confident.""Of course I am," she says, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "You saw my latest collection. It’s groundbreaking."I don’t comment. I don’t care about jewelry or competitions, but I know Dolly’s ambition won’t let her drop this topic easily. She’s been obsessed with making a name for herself ever since she came back into my life. I d

Knoxx Point of ViewAdrian's gaze shifts abruptly, his earlier relaxed expression giving wayto a more guarded and hardened look. However, this fleeting moment of surpriseis quickly replaced by a smirk as he casually reclines against the bench,crossing his arms on top of it.With a drawl in his voice, Adrian addresses me as though we are oldacquaintances unexpectedly crossing paths. "Well, well," he begins,his tone teasing. "Look who we have here. Knoxx Wayne, gracing the streetsof Italy. Who would’ve imagined?"Feeling the tension rise, my jaw clenches as I respond firmly,"Adrian."He cocks his head slightly, feigning a once-over appraisal of myappearance. "You seem different. The passage of time hasn't beenparticularly kind to you, has it?" A broader grin appears on his face."You appear... worn out, old and… stressed. It appears that taking on morethan you can handle has its consequences."Ignoring his attempts to provoke a reaction, I maintain a steady gaze,silently obse

Dolly‘s Point of ViewI watch as Adrian walks away, hand in hand with that boy, Liam. Knoxx is tense beside me, his jaw clenched so tightly I swear I can hear his teeth grind. His hands are shoved into his pockets, but I can see the twitch in his fingers. He wants to punch something—maybe Adrian, maybe the wall, maybe even himself.I take a slow breath, schooling my expression into something soft, something understanding. Then, I step closer, slipping my hand through his arm, pressing against him. "Knoxx, don’t let him get to you," I say gently, tilting my head so I can meet his dark, storming eyes. "You know how Adrian is. He just wants to make you angry. And that boy—his son—he’s probably the same as him. Like father, like son. You shouldn’t take anything they say seriously."Knoxx exhales sharply, his eyes still trained on the direction Adrian disappeared. "That kid..." he mutters, voice low.I feel my breath catch. Something about his tone sends a ripple of unease down my spine. "

Dolly’s Point of ViewI seeKnoxx is about to look at the message, and my heart nearly stops. The screen isstill lit, the message notification glaring up at me like a loaded gun, readyto go off.BeforeI can think, my body reacts on instinct—I snatch the phone out of his reach,clutching it so tightly my nails dig into the casing. My pulse is erratic,pounding so hard I swear he can hear it.Knoxx’sbrows pull together. His sharp gaze flicks from my hand to my face. Toofast. Too suspicious.“Whatwas that?” he asks, voice laced with mild irritation.Iswallow hard, forcing a breathy laugh. “Oh, it’s nothing,” I say, pretending tobe embarrassed. “Just… a stupid spam message. You know how these things are.”Hisexpression doesn’t change. He doesn’t look convinced.“Let mesee it.”Panicslams into me so fast I almost drop the phone.

Caroline’sPoint of ViewLiamcrashes through the front door first. His little feet slap against the floor ashe kicks his shoes off thrilled. "Mom! We're home!"I lookup from the stove. Garlic and butter smells float in the air. The kitchen feelswarm compared to the cold outside, but it's nothing like the warmth that startsto spread in my chest when I see my son. His messy hair, his pink cheeks fromthe cold, his bright eyes that always seem to be full of joy. It makes me stop,and I grip the wooden spoon I've been stirring with tighter.Helooks happy.

No creativity.Just aheavy constricting sensation in my chest.I mustcreate this design. This contest isn't about winning—it's about showing I'mstill myself.

Items that would sell. But the idea of designingsomething solely for the market, without meaning, makes me feel sick. I don'twant to create something people will forget.

And the thrilling feeling part is—he does.He reaches across the table to help Liamcut his food. He steadies the boy's hand as he guides the knife through themeat.

Caroline’sPoint of ViewTheemail appears on my computer screen just as I'm fixing up the display case inmy store focusing on positioning the jewelry to catch the light . I barely lookat it at first thinking it's another everyday email, another question, anotherpointless notification I can deal with later.Butthen—Myheart skips a beat when I see the subject line."Congratulations!You've made it to the final round!"Myheart pounds against my chest as I rush to open the email. My fingers shake abit as I move the mouse. At first, the words don't make sense. I'm too shockedto understand them. But I force myself to focus and read every word ."DearMs. Hill, we are pleased to inform you that your design has been selected asone of the top three finalists in the competition. You have been invited to anexclusive dinner event where the winners will be announced. More detailsbelow."I lookat the screen. The words sink in slowly, one after another, until I grasp whatthey mean.Fi

Knoxx’s Point of ViewWhat… just happened?One second, I’m watching Caroline stand on that stage, victorious, glowing under the ballroom lights as she accepts her trophy. My chest tightens at the sight—it should be me standing beside her. I should be the one sharing this moment with her. But before I can even begin to process the sharp pang of loss, my entire world tilts.Because then—I see him.Adrian.With his arms wrapped around her.Pulling her in—too close.My jaw tightens, my fingers clenching at my sides as a slow, seething heat begins to burn through my veins.And then, like a goddamn dagger to the gut—He presses his lips to her.Not fully. Not directly on her lips. But on the corner of her mouth—an intimacy so deliberate, so possessive, that my breath locks in my throat.A claim.The bastard kissed my wife.My head pounds, my entire body locking up as my gaze snaps to Caroline, waiting—needing—to see her reaction.Push him away, I tell her in my mind. Shove him. Slap him. D
Secret Billionaire Divorcee Chapter 145
Caroline's POVWhat... just happened?The ballroom's atmosphere changes so fast, I feel transported to a different world. Moments ago, everyone watched me. The announcer named me the winner, and applause, cheers, and praise for my work filled the room. But now—now it all slips away taken from me before I can understand it.The whispers start as a tiny ripple, a gentle wave of bewilderment spreads through the crowd. But then—The movement starts.People step back making a space in the room's center, creating an unplanned stage.And there, in the heart of it all—Down on one knee.Kneeling.Her hands shake, but her face shows a gentle planned smile, the image of love. In her hand, a ring sparkles under the bright ballroom lights.And she's offering it—To Knoxx.A nasty churning feeling grips my gut, my heartbeat stopping for a quick still second.What's she up to?But then, I get it.Of course I do.Because she is Dolly.Dolly, the one born to grab the limelight, to snatch what's not h

Dolly's Point of ViewI can't breathe.The world around me seems to collapse, the walls of this grand venue push in from all sides. My ears ring, the sounds of the room fade to a dull hum, but one voice—one name—cuts through everything like a sharp unforgiving blade."The first-place winner is… Caroline Hill!"No.No.No.The room explodes into loud applause. A deafening, spirit-crushing sound. People stand up, clap cheer celebrate her.My body won't move. My heart pounds against my ribs, a fierce uneven beat that hurts my chest.This can't be true. It's impossible.Caroline? Caroline came out on top?My gut twists. Acid rises in my throat as I try to grasp the words that just broke my world. I breathe fast and shallow. My sight gets fuzzy as it sinks in—I didn't win.I didn't win.No.Why? Why?!I put in too much work for this. I gave up too much. My designs had no flaws—they were perfect. They told a tale sparked feelings, showed what love is!Caroline's work?It was just a dull de
Secret Billionaire Divorcee Chapter 143
Caroline's Point of View“The winner of this competition is…”The host stops drawing out the moment until it's ready to snap, building the tension so high that it seems like everyone in the ballroom is holding their breath together. The suspense is heavy, overwhelming, with nervous energy buzzing through the room.I hear clothes rustling as people move in their chairs, glasses tinkling far off, and guests talking to each other. Every person here waits, braces themselves, their eyes glued to the stage.My heart beats so loud it drowns out all other sounds.I grip the delicate stem of my champagne glass with stiff fingers, my knuckles turning white from the pressure. My body stays rigid caught between anticipation and doubt.This is it.This is the moment that changes everything.Across the room, my gaze briefly flickers to Dolly. She remains motionless. Her frame seems tense almost frozen, her polished nails sinking into the tablecloth. Her eyes sharp and vigilant, stay fixed on the ho
Secret Billionaire Divorcee Chapter 142
Dolly’s Point of ViewI can’t believe it.Even after all these years, there are still people so blind, so utterly clueless, that they still call her Mrs. Wayne.And the worst part?Knoxx doesn’t correct them.Not a single word. Not even a flicker of disagreement. He just stands there, letting them believe it, as if she still holds that title.As if she still matters.My fingers tighten around my champagne glass, the delicate stem pressing into my palm like a warning. Steady yourself, Dolly. Don’t let them see.But inside, I’m seething.I remember back in the United States, when people would mistakenly call me Mrs. Wayne. It happened more times than I could count. At dinners, in business meetings, even at charity events where we were seen together as a family.And every time, Knoxx would shake his head, his voice cool and firm as he corrected them.“We’re not married,” he’d say, almost indifferent. “She still has her own name.”That moment replays in my mind like a slap across the face
Secret Billionaire Divorcee Chapter 141
Caroline’s Point of ViewThe cheers for the third-place winner quiet down to a low buzz mixing with the crowd's chatter and the sound of glasses tapping. The young woman on stage gives a small bow, her face red as she grips her award , afraid it might fall from her hands.I observe her noticing how her eyes jump around and how she keeps moving her feet as if she's still in disbelief about what's happening.She’s young. Maybe early twenties. Her design was good—not groundbreaking, not extraordinary—but there was potential. A lot of potential.A small pang of nostalgia grips me. I remember what it felt like to be her. To be young, to be filled with ambition, to want so badly to make a name for yourself in an industry that only respects experience. I know that hunger. I was that hunger.I exhale slowly, lifting my glass slightly in her direction before taking a sip.“She’s got talent,” I murmur, more to myself than anyone else. “Just needs experience.”Beside me, Penelope hums, tilting h
Secret Billionaire Divorcee Chapter 140
Caroline's Point of ViewThe museum buzzes with anticipation, an undercurrent of energy that I can feel thrumming in my bones. Voices blend into a low hum, whispers rippling through the crowd as people shift, adjusting their positions for a better view of the stage. Some reporters are already clutching their notepads and adjusting their cameras, eager to capture the final moments of the competition.But my focus isn’t on them.Because across the room, in the farthest corner, stands Adrian.And he’s holding Liam’s hand.My breath catches in my throat.Liam, small and fidgeting with barely contained excitement, is tugging slightly at Adrian’s arm, his little mouth moving quickly—probably asking questions about what’s happening. Adrian listens, nodding in that calm, patient way of his, but his eyes flick up.To me.Then, as if making a silent decision, Adrian bends down and effortlessly lifts Liam onto his shoulders.I inhale sharply, my fingers curling slightly against my dress.It’s su
Secret Billionaire Divorcee Chapter 139
Caroline’s Point of ViewDolly’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard—grating and sickly sweet.“Of course, that would be me.”She steps into view like she owns the room, her heels clicking against the marble floor with a deliberate kind of grace. Fake grace. The kind that screams ‘look at me, I belong here,’ when in reality, she’s always been a second choice, a shadow chasing after something that was never meant to be hers.Her eyes shine with triumph, but I see past the glittering facade. It’s not confidence. It’s desperation. A hunger to prove—to herself, to me, to everyone—that she has won. That she has him.And yet, the way she moves, the way she clings, it’s all too telling.She boldly slips her arm through Knoxx’s, her fingers curling around his bicep like she’s afraid he’ll slip away if she doesn’t hold on tight enough. And maybe, deep down, she knows the truth.That he isn’t hers. Not really. Not fully.But that doesn’t stop her.Her touch is deliberate, a statement. A patheti
Secret Billionaire Divorcee Chapter 138
Caroline's Point of ViewKnoxx holds my arm tight—steady, unmoving—but not rough. I feel no pain or force yet his grip weighs on me like a heavy blanket. I want to pull away, to put some distance between us, but my throbbing ankle reminds me how weak I am right now. The last thing I need is to create a fuss during check-in with him around.His mere presence feels like it's crushing me pushing me to react. But I refuse to give him that satisfaction."Why are you running away after seeing me?" His voice stays quiet but cuts like a knife. Something in it I can't figure out makes my heart skip even though I try to ignore him.I tense up looking ahead. "I wasn't running."His hand doesn't squeeze tighter, but his fingers move a bit, like he's testing how true my words are. His eyes scan me sizing me up."Really?" He sounds doubtful almost like he finds
