The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 31 : Jealousy, Jealousy
GeorgeI inhale her scent, somehow realizing it's something I never did enough in the past. She smells like something delectable... What is it? I can't place it. Has this been what she always moved through the world wearing? A scent so tricky to my nose? A scent that reminds me of rainy days in the house where cookies were baked or a full turkey would be brined. This woman was my wife for three years. How, as I move into her space, am I unable to find the smell I can't remember in the house?It's not a common one. It's not like those meals, the desserts, or even her hair products. Those were sweet-smelling. I remember that much, seeing as I'd fuck her after she lathered her hair and dug her nails into my shoulder.I turn my neck to the side at this, closing my eyes as the memory rushes in so fast I can't stop it. The twitch rushes through my skin as I try to calm myself as quickly as my brain fills with the days and nights with her."Let go of me," Ella rumbles. "We're going to

Ella"Here." I stare at what George is trying to hand me and for a moment I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at until it hits me. It's a credit card. No, a bank card. "I've loaded it with two million monthly cap. If you need more though, just call Miss Cates and she'll top it off for you." He says it easily, as if this isn't a full-on insult to me. After three years, he is giving me a bank card. Back when we were married, I didn't even have one. All the groceries were taken care of by the maids. I might have done chores and cooked, but all I had to do was ask them to pick something up and they would. If I needed clothes or needed to do personal shopping for myself I would have to ask for money, and while George would give it, he always had something to say, making asking for it to be awkward. It got to the point that most of the clothing I owned was gifted because it was 'suitable' for his wife and not really my style. So, despite being married to an extremely rich man,

GeorgeAs I stare at my case files, not a single word seems to register in my head. I shouldn't be doing this, I have work to take care of, a company to run, but I can't stop thinking about last night. Back then it felt as if I lost control the moment I saw her, clothes clinging to her skin, her hair dark, curling against her cheeks, the flush of her skin...To hold her in my arms after so long, body pressed up against mine and my lips against hers... The last time we'd been intimate was so long ago, even before the divorce. Doing such a risque thing outside was new too, something that we never did when we were married. Sex was usually sweeter, with Ella pliant and obedient under me, and afterwards she'd cuddle up in my arms and we'd fall asleep together.That time in the alley had been different. Intense, yes, but Ella has changed. It wasn't so sweet and indulgent, she seemed completely indifferent to what was happening, as if it was just an act to chase physical pleasure.

GeorgeMarrying Ella hadn't been a mistake, but allowing her to divorce me was. There is unfortunately no easy fix for this, seeing as she has no intention of remarrying me. I am unsure how to go about rescinding our divorce too. It's not so simple when it was mutually agreed upon, and taking the case to court would be laughable. From an outsider's point of view I came out of that case as the winner, losing nothing but my marital status. Convincing her to marry me will not be easy, but the more I think about it, the more I don't want to let this lie. I want Ella back and, as stubborn as she is being about this, I know there is a chance TO get her back.As soon as the music stops, the crowd applauds and Ella takes a bow. I slowly make my way up to the stage and as I do, I see Elijah's people start to approach her. They are his, of course; it's easy to pick out these sorts of things after working in court cases for so long, seeing who is linked to who, who works for who and all

GeorgeI can't help the hunger that grows from deep within me. It's strange, to say the least, that I even stop to process these feelings. In the past, there'd be no stop. There'd be no thinking. My dick would need taking care of, and then I'd get exactly what I needed from my wife.But that's what caused the problems in the first place. Not just my dick, but the entire idea that Ella is ever more than the woman I married. I look at this absolutely stunning beauty, knowing I'd never even considered my actions before. But now, as I lean closer into Ella's space, I can't stop myself from the hunger welling up inside.I feel her soft skin with my hand, caressing her cheek as I watch her slowly blink at me. She is still drunk, which I'm still not used to seeing, and I question how this marriage has ended up in this mess.Lips meet as we stop on the stairwell, as I breathe in every single scent she holds. Even though she is still smelling like a liquor store, I can't possibly be expecte
Last Updated : 2024-09-11The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 36: Slimy Subordinate
GeorgeThe sound of chirping birds reaches my ears, causing me to slowly wake up. Disoriented from not remembering how I fell asleep, I let my eyes open just a crack, dawn breaking outside my window and sun starting to stream in.Morning. I can't even remember the last time I slept through a night. And all because...I turn and look at Ella, asleep beside me, though she's in the middle of what looks to be a fitful sleep. Her skin is slick with sweat, and she moans with discomfort in her sleep. Something's wrong.I reach over and feel her forehead, careful not to be too forceful and wake her up. She must be having a nightmare because she's unable to form coherent sentences and twitches every minute or so."The horse is in the lake."I lean back and blink at this sentence. Well, whatever nightmare she's having, it seems to be an interesting one.Grabbing my phone off the nightstand, I walk out of my bedroom and quickly dial a doctor. Though Ella may be a great name in her field, t
Last Updated : 2024-09-11The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 37: Villa Sunrise
EllaI groan as my hand finds its way to my forehead, sweat abundant at the smallest of touches. Ugh, this is absolutely gross. I can't even remember the last time I sweated in my sleep. I normally only sweat in my sleep when I'm getting sick, seeing as my body temperature can't handle the sickness.My mind tries to remember what led to being here. It's tough fighting through the fuzzy memory from the previous night. I finally open my eyes just a sliver, and the sight gives me the jolt I need to remember the worst parts of the day before.I remember the Forest Hotel. I remember the alcohol. I remember George demanding to take me home...I sit up, seeing the villa around me, and more memories flood back: the car ride back here, the intimacy shared between the two of us. The way he tried to carry me inside and I fought against him.The way I pushed him away and told him we were divorced.At least some part of my brain decided to kick in and work last night. How could I let myself g

Ella"Stop–George, stop it!" I push him away, hating how I'm blushing, having enjoyed the press of his lips and his passionate touch as if he might... as if he wanted me. I'm not going to fall for it, I refuse to. The only reason he wants me right now is because he's jealous that he isn't allowed to have me. That I am denying him. His interest only goes so far. I'm not going to hand my heart over to him just because he demands it. "You're enjoying this," he murmurs, leaning back in but I'm firm in my decision, not letting him get any closer. "Be that as it may, I don't want it. I thought you said you respected me." He pauses at that, pulling away. I wait as he obviously contemplates his options. Finally, he sighs and pulls away completely, leaving me feeling slightly cold, almost sad about it, but no. No, I can't be weak like that or give in. I learned better, haven't I? "Fine. You're still recovering anyway. I'll have one of the maids bring you dessert." "I'll eat d

Ella I scowl down at my phone, silently scoffing. I'm not George's any longer and he has no say about what I do nor a right to my time.So what if things didn't work out with his secretary? I'm not some rebound for him and I'm not with him.I don't understand what I have to do for George to actually come to terms with that, seeing as he still won't leave me alone despite how clear I made my feelings.Maybe it's time for a restraining order."Ella—Ella!"I sigh heavily, going to hang up before the phone is gently pulled from my hands, and I look up in surprise to see Vinny who gives me a smirk before bringing the phone up to his ear."Mr. Wickham! Hello, I'd say it's a pleasure but judging from my dear sister's expression, it hasn't been."Damn. Right for the throat immediately, his cheerful tone doing nothing to hide the venom inside of it."Who is this?""Oh, right, we've never been formally introduced. Vinny Reina, Ella's older brother. I've heard your conversation a bit

EllaWith Rachel by my side, we walk in sync around the shopping mall. We're laughing about a joke she's just told. It feels right being here with my best friend."So, which dress are you considering for the banquet?" Rachel questions, pointing down at the bags in my hands."Haven't decided yet. There's still one boutique I'm interested in going to," I explain, nodding in the direction of the store."Ahh, is this to impress Mr. Martins?" she asks in a knowing way. Rachel's face dances with mischief. I know she only wishes to extract the information from me, and I laugh again."No need to impress him." I toss my hair to the side, my newly manicured red nails flashing in the corner of my eyes. "He's already smitten.""Is that good or bad?" Rachel taunts."Honestly? I don't know."We arrive at the boutique I mentioned, a small store in the middle of the shopping mall that caters to those with a higher caliber of wallet. Rachel immediately beelines for a group of black dresses near
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 48: Dispelling Rumors
GeorgeArriving at the hospital, I get directions to where Charlotte resides. Not only do I feel several pairs of eyes on my person, but I also hear the whispers."Mr. Wickham is here," one person murmurs."Are the rumors true then?" another asks.God, do these people have nothing better to do other than gossip? I don't wish to be here, and now I must hear the things people speak under their breath.Charlotte truly doesn't seem to understand the situation she's compromised herself into.I find her room with ease, seeing her messing around with her phone."Charlotte."I keep my voice even, though a bitter bite does slip its way through. I narrow my eyes at the woman who continues to spread false information about me.For her part, Charlotte whips her head around to see me, looking almost surprised at my appearance. Why, though, would she be surprised when she's the one who called upon me?"I didn't actually expect you to show," she says quietly."Yet here I stand," I deadpan.
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 47: Marrying Who?
GeorgeAs I let my gaze fall on Ella, I notice she wears her evening dress confidently. It's strange, seeing as I cannot fathom the life she hid from me in our marriage. But as she stands there, hands on her hips, I can't help myself from making a smart remark."Finally going on that date with Elijah, then?" I quip, a sharp bite in my words. I let my arms cross over my chest as I watch her.Ella merely rolls her eyes at me, seemingly dismissing me altogether."I rushed here to see YOUR grandmother, seeing as she's grown ill. There was no time to change out of my outfit."As cruel as my words intended to be, she somehow one-ups me with ease. My mind swims with possible retorts, wanting to make my intentions clear but not appear desperate for her eyes to remain on mine.A mixed bag of emotions seeps into my skin, prickling as it moves across my body so fast, I don't have a moment to breathe. "You took Ella for granted during your marriage," a voice sneers in the back of my head.
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 46: Sudden Guilt Trip
GeorgeWatching Grandmother practically have a fit over Charlotte's presence is not how I want to spend my afternoon, but it's not like I can just leave when someone has to be responsible. "Grandmother, please. Charlotte is here as just a friend, nothing more," I sigh and she scoffs loudly, pointing a bony finger judgingly at Charlotte. "You are BLIND! When will you learn?!" "Grandma Anna, I know we haven't always gotten along but George is telling the truth. As his friend I should at least give you my well wishes, shouldn't I? You've been in and out of the hospital so much recently!" "I want none of your wishes, well or not! I could be dying and I wouldn't want you here!" "Grandmother!" Jessica gasps. "Don't say something like that!" "And you! Have you no shame, Jessica? Befriending that gold digger and pushing your brother towards her?" "Mrs. Wickham, please, your heart," one of the nurses says helplessly but finally, grandmother huffs and gives in, leaning back agai
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 45: Have You No Shame?
GeorgeAnother late night turns into an early morning. Ever since the divorce my work hours have been... tumultuous. Sometimes I end up staying late into the evening to finish my work or try to at least. Then I wake up early and return to the office early to attempt to finish that work. Unfortunately, I am off my game. It isn't as easy as it used to be and I know why. I'm distracted. Usually I wouldn't be stuck in my head like this, but there is a lot to think about. I'm sitting in my office, having gotten in early, finishing up some casework and looking through the morning news when a new article is posted. It's really just gossip and drivel from the news companies but the photo catches my eye. Ella is standing next to Elijah, the pair looking nothing short of perfect together. All smiles and warm gazes, the photo perfectly captures how well they go together. They truly do seem like a perfect couple, and the article gushes about it too, how Ms. Reina and Mr. Martins are
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 44: Smooth as Mousse
EllaThe staff party is going to be held off site, with the staff given the week off afterwards as a gift to them. As much as they told me they enjoyed their job, having a party at their place of work just meant that THEY would have to set everything up and clean everything up which was counterintuitive to celebrating them. I chose a lovely location at a private venue at the Rosalin Hotel. Their banquet area is exquisite and they offer five course meals to large parties, which will be a true treat for everyone. Or, well, it would be, once we decide on the menu. I am currently in the test kitchen of the Rosalin Hotel. Normally people aren't allowed back there, but they made an exception since I am such a high profile client. "And I'm telling you that the foie gras appetizer will be served on a crostini with caramelized apple confit and balsamic reduction! We have given you options for the menu already!" Head Chef John argues.I sigh, looking at the dish. The dish itself is
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 43-More Than a Housewife
Ella"Uncle Conrad," I say plainly, remaining polite to the older man. "How are you?"I watch my uncle, a few years younger than my father, waffle in uncertainty at my entrance. He clearly wasn't expecting to be met with kindness. That much is obvious. I revel in his reaction. "Uh, uh," Conrad stutters. His son stands up, his head swinging wildly between all of us. He becomes slack-jawed, and I let myself laugh, but only inwardly."I would love to discuss some things with you if that's all right. You are, after all, in my home without me." Conrad's spine straightens, and he knows he's been caught with his tail between his legs.Kingston's eyes brighten, and I can tell he's doing his best to keep his snickers to himself."I want to make it exceedingly clear: there are valid reasons behind my decision to fire certain hospital staff members. I assure you there were no hastily made choices. Each time I did what I did, I did it for the good of the hospital. I want it to be very clear
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 42-Family or Foe?
EllaI can't help it. I begin to chuckle into my hand, and Rachel quickly follows. We snicker like schoolgirls as my best friend recounts to me what happened before she arrived."Real police officers, Ella! They passed right by me while I was wearing this fake uniform!" she says between her laughter. "That is incredibly ironic," I counter. "Can you imagine if they'd asked for your identification or even if you were answering a call?"She shakes her head, carefully wiping away a stray tear under her dark blue eyes so as not to ruin her perfect makeup. "Well, if one of them had asked me out, then maybe I'd have kept the charade going."I scrunch my face into a tighter smile, amused. "Oh? Man or woman?""Either one is fine with me," she shrugs. "The blonde female definitely had me turning my head."I allow myself to laugh harder, grateful for the best friend I have in Rachel. "Besides," Rachel states, flipping her hair away from her, "I look perfect.""Yes, but the problem was
