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 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 49: Please Reconsider, Sir!
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 50: An Extended Evening
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
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 1 : Unhappy Marriage
EllaThe dim lights of the police station buzz in my ears as I sit across from two detectives. I shiver from the cool air wafting into the room while my head rattles with countless thoughts."Mrs. Wickham, did you hear my question?" the female detective asks, returning me to the present situation. "Sorry, no," I admit."What caused the accident? Did someone walk in front of the car? Did Miss Deluca miss something? Or were you perhaps the distraction?"I've done nothing wrong, yet these two detectives continue to question me as though I'm the culprit and criminal. I was in the back seat of the car when the accident happened. "No. I don't know what happened."The two make eye contact with one another, and I can see a conversation pass between them in silence. The male detective sighs, and the two stand. "We're going to keep you here overnight."I sit up straight. "But I did nothing wrong!" I insist, hating myself for raising my voice. "You should be going to ask Miss Deluca
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2 : I Want a Divorce
Ella"Why didn't you answer your phone?" I ask. Maybe it's the stress that has pushed my body to this point, or I feel uncomfortable, but whatever it is, I just rip his hand away from me. Maybe it's from the cold at the police station or something, but my head is really hurting. "What?" he asks arrogantly.I try to speak up but my throat is scratchy and dry. "I called you multiple times."He furrows his thin brows at me, turning his head to the side. "I was unaware of your calls, Ella. And anyway, I don't have to explain myself to you," he snaps back.I struggle to speak, unable to shake myself of the words he'd spat into the phone while at the hospital: "You should be ashamed of yourself. You're an adult. Act like it."I hold back a little moan at the cool touch of his palm, trying not to lean into it. Despite everything, even though George cheated on me with Charlotte, even after three years of neglect I still love him. It's stupid. It's a bit pathetic how hopeless I
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 3 : She's No Cinderella
EllaDisoriented and groggy, I sit up in my bed from the nightmare I've been having. I take a few deep breaths, looking around the guest room as I take in my surroundings. I calm myself slowly, memories of the previous days blurring together.I'm at Rachel's house. George has chosen another woman over his bride. Charlotte is... pregnant.Those words shoot through my veins like an ice storm. A chill shivers down my spine, and I find myself shaking. "Bastard."It's the word that gets me up, but a piercing headache and sudden sweats knock me back.I feel my forehead. God, is that a fever? Maybe that's why I feel so shitty.It takes me another ten minutes to stand. I wrap a light blanket around my shoulders as I head for the kitchen to see my best friend. "Morning, Ella. You still look like shit." Rachel is perfectly coiffed this morning, like always. Her ponytail is already tied up tight, and those signature black heels boost her up to give her the perfect shape. It's a wo
The Divorced Female Billionaire Heiress Chapter 4 : This Marriage Is Over
EllaAs I stand in George's office, I reflect on the beginning of our marriage. I remember times when I used to bring in lunches for my husband due to his picky tastes. I've never been a genius in the kitchen, but I learned to cook for him. It's a valuable skill that I am still quite happy to have discovered. I remember dressing modestly and being kind to Mrs. Cates.Honestly, I wanted her to like me back then. But the more I came to the office, the more I watched the woman's demeanor change. She started out smiling at me, and as time went on, she became as distant and uncaring as the man in my life.I scoff to myself as I cross my arms in front of my chest. This woman is no longer someone I'm afraid of. I'm not a maid. I'm not just a housewife. I'm Ella Wickham.No. I'm Ella Reina. That's who I was before this marriage. And that's who I'll be once more."Wait a minute, Ma'am, there's no appointment in the books for you; you can't be here without one."I turn sideways t
