THE RETURN OF THE DIVORCED BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
~~ASHLEY~~I adjusted the collar of my blouse, trying to keep my composure as I sat across from Nora Bane who was on the phone, talking with someone. With the bright smile on her face, I could guess she's a close friend of hers. “ Oh you mean that? Of course it is.” As they were talking, Nora suddenly glanced at me, clicking her tongue and then smiled, to which I quickly returned.I was actually called this morning to take on the modeling job for their new project called mEgan3 which they wanted to launch soon. They had moved up the date due to the reason which I didn't know about. On getting the call from her secretary, I didn't even think of having breakfast before rushing here.I waited for her to finish the call so that she could hand over the contract she was holding to me.We had both signed it, and she was just about to give it to me when her phone rang. Getting this contract was a huge opportunity— the best I’d ever had in my years in this industry. It was a modeling gig fo

The elevator doors slid open, bringing me out of my thoughts and I walked out with my head hanging low. Turning to the left side, I suddenly collided headfirst into a broad, solid chest, and I lost my balance, already falling to the ground.I shut my eyes close as my mind raced with the embarrassing image of me sprawling on the floor. But then, a strong arm quickly caught me, pulling me back from the brink of shame.I breathe out in relief, knowing that I had been saved. I slowly opened my eyes to see my savior, only to see deep blue eyes staring back at me. I found myself momentarily lost in his eyes and my breath caught in my throat as I took in his face.Of course, I knew who he was. He's Kingsley Bane and this was the first time I would ever see him this close. My heart, which had never beat faster than for Lance, suddenly began to thump so loudly that I could even hear its sound.I smiled at him, “Tha…” before I could complete my sentences, he let go of me.I stumbled backward an

“And have you saved my company yet? Have I even received a single penny from you?” he challenged, his tone sharp, making my heart sink.I stepped back, lowering my gaze as his words sting a lot. But I got him his investors back! Although I was the one behind them pulling out in the first place, but I still got them back.When I looked up again, I saw him staring at me, not with love, but with something far colder—like anger, or maybe even disgust.Wait, did he know about that? Nah, there's definitely no way he would know.Rubbing his temples, Lance sighed heavily. “You know what? Let’s not talk about this because I might really vent out my anger on you now.”He continued unbuttoning his shirt, while I stood at the same spot, looking at him as I was stunned by the way he had raised his voice at me. In the five years we’d been married, Lance had never for once spoken to me like this.I wondered what exactly changed. Did Ariel Roland really do look like his ex-wife? Because I had nev

~~ARIEL/MAYA~~I haven’t seen Bella outside for a while now. She’s locked herself in her room, refusing to come out or play and I think it’s because of what Mom did the other day.When I got to her door, I gently knocked before slowly opening it, trying to see if she's now awake but I saw her lying on her bed.“ I don't think she's awake.” I muttered, turning to leave.“ Miss Ariel,” her voice stopped me.Entering her room, I gave her a light smile as I walked over to her bed.“Good morning, hope am not disturbing your beautiful sleep?” I asked softly, not knowing if I was the one that woke her up“No, you’re not. I've been awake for a while now.” she quickly replied, adjusting herself on the bed. I sat down beside her and leaned closer to her, placing a kiss on her forehead. But looking at her, she seems to be gloomy, not like the Bella I know.“ Is there any problem? Did you had a rough night?“No, I'm fine.”“ But I feel like you are not. Are you now keeping things from me? I thou

Once we were in the car, Bryan started acting as our tour guide. Our first stop was the zoo. Bella’s eyes lit up as we walked around, looking at the animals. She pointed at the monkeys and giggled as they swung from the trees. We spent like an hour there before moving on to our next stop.We decided to go to the cinema to watch a new cartoon that had just premiered. But as the movie went on, Bella ended up crying her eyes out because the female lead, which was her favorite, died. We spent about two hours there, and I started regretting bringing her to see it. Her crying drew a lot of attention, so I had to pull my hat lower to cover my face as I carried her out of the cinema."It’s okay, Bella," I whispered, holding her close as we walked out. "Your favorite character is still alive. That’s just a movie, not real life." It took a while, but I finally managed to calm her down.Next, we headed to a playground. Seeing Bella running around, laughing, and playing brought me so much joy. It

Seeing Lance with Bella made my heart pound heavily and without thinking, I rushed over to their sides, pulling Bella away from him.“Haven’t I told you not to talk to strangers? Didn’t your mommy tell you the same thing?” I snapped, my voice trembling with fear and anger.“I’m very sorry, Miss Ariel, but he said he knows you,” Bella stammered.“Anyone can say they know me. But how do you know they’re not lying?”“He showed me your pictures in a wedding gown with him. You looked different, but I definitely recognized you,” Bella whispered, her words sending a chill down my spine.I glanced at Lance who wink at me and I find it hard to believe that Lance still had my picture. Mamita assured me she burned everything that was connected to him, including our photos. I definitely made sure nothing was left that could tie me to him. And now, he has our wedding pictures?Arrgh...This is a headache.The name I used when I married Lance was Maya Hendrix, a fake identity I created after my pare

His tongue slid into my mouth gently exploring and caressing mine and for a fleeting moment, I allowed myself to get lost in the depth of his touch, forgetting everything that had happened between us—all the pain and heartache that I had gone through. I let myself be vulnerable, feeling the warmth of the man I once loved with all my heart.I was taken back to four years ago, to a time when I adored him deeply, when he was the only man that my heart beat for, the only man that looked good in my eyes.But as the kiss deepened, so did the memories of how he shattered my heart flashed through my mind and I remembered how he escorted Ashley out of his car, welcoming her in his home while leaving me in the rain, pretending as if I didn't exist. I remembered the heartbreaking pain that I went through when he divorced me and then my poor Bella…….No, I haven’t forgotten what he did to me! Fueled by the painful memories, I found the strength to push him away. My hands pressed against his ches

~~LANCE'S POV~~I sat in the corner of the restaurant with a cup of coffee in my hand. The place was quiet but I could hear the soft clinking of cutlery and distant conversations. But I wasn’t really paying attention to any of it as my mind was elsewhere, thinking about Maya.I wanted to meet with Jason, a friend of mine, about a business matter, but he told me he was at the cinema with his family and when I got there, I saw Maya carrying a crying Bella out, so I followed them.I touched my lip, remembering the brief kiss we shared at the beach, her beautiful dark hazel eyes, and how my hand brushed against her slender waist as she pressed closer to me. But It felt like touching someone new, someone who wasn’t mine anymore as I remembered that she's getting married to someone else soon.I tried my best not to hurt her with any of my actions or words at that moment, trying hard to relive one of our happiest moments from when we were married as I was sure we had many, but the way she lo
