All Chapters of Goodbye, My Despicable Billionaire Ex: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Helen's POVI sat at the dresser staring at my reflection through the mirror as various unfettered thoughts assailed my mind.Inhaling sharply, I averted my stare to the clock which was mounted against the wall and sighed for the umpteenth time that evening.Four hours had passed since Fernando came to drop the envelope, yet I still hadn't thought of what to do next that didn't require me asking for Lucy's help.The poor girl also had a lot on her plate as she was an orphan who worked hard to fend for herself, and I couldn't imagine adding to her burden.But then again, I had to call her or risk getting humiliated by Fernando tomorrow and I couldn't have that.He had already embarrassed me enough by flinging the divorce papers at me in the presence of the maids, who hated me with passion just like their master.I couldn't even report their insolence to Fernando because I knew he'd probably scoff then ask me to stop being a baby.Out of all of them, only the head maid cared about me an

Helen's POVMustering up enough courage, I dialed Lucy's number and waited with my heart hammering against my chest, for her to answer the phone.Two days had passed since I moved out of Fernando's mansion into a motel, using the money Lillian had given me.The cash had been quite helpful but I knew I couldn't keep staying in the motel without doing anything tangible with my life.In a matter of days, I would exhaust the money and be forced to make the streets my new home."Helen?" Lucy sounded groggy."Hi, Lucy. Did I wake you?" I asked, feeling guilt tug my heart.I didn't even remember that our time zones were different."Yeah, but it's fine," She said. "What the hell happened to you? Your line has been unreachable for the past two days. Do you know how worried I was? Hell, I was about to board a flight to New York." She rambled out."I'm sorry I made you worry about me. It's just that stuff came up and I needed to think properly." I uttered."Right, you were telling me something t

FIVE YEARS LATERHelen's POV"Good morning, sir." I bowed to Alexander Ferguson, my boss of three years.After I moved to Australia five years ago, I had continued my college education and had finished successfully with a degree in accounting.Fortunately for me, I had gotten a job as the secretary to the director of VZ firm, which was one of the largest corporate firms in Australia, as soon as I graduated.My job had made it easier for me to move out of Lucy's apartment into mine.However, the only thing that hadn't changed was my hatred for Fernando, which seemed to grow in large bouts as the days went by.The vitriolic hatred that I harbored for him made it difficult for me to date any other man, because I thought they were all manipulative jerks who wanted nothing more than a woman's downfall.Although Lucy had forced me to go on numerous dates, I just couldn't be attracted to any of them.Fernando had truly ruined my standards in men.Hell, I was probably aromantic and asexual at

Helen's POV"Excuse us, we are coming through. Please don't close the door." I heard a feminine squeal as I made to shut the elevator doors.Two young women, who I presumed were in their early twenties rushed in, clutching satchel bags."Good morning, miss Helen." They greeted in unison, as the door slid shut and the elevator finally started moving."Morning." I darted them a polite grin, and faced my front.For some reasons, they seemed quite familiar but I couldn't remember where I knew them from."We are currently interning at the sales department," As if she was a mind-reader, one of them spoke. "You gave us the company's handbook two weeks ago, ma'am."Oh, right.I could finally recall where I knew them from; it was at the orientation ceremony for new interns that had taken place two weeks ago."Oh, hi. How have you been enjoying the company so far?" I asked, directing my attention to them.They both exchanged glances before the second lady replied. "Our experience has been nice

Helen's POV"So," Lucy said. "What are you going to do now?"I had just finished narrating how I had seen Fernando again that day, and how the sight of him had dampened my mood.Lucy was currently out of town, so I had to settle for calling her because I was desperate to share the latest development with her.And yes, I couldn't wait until she got back.The anxiety rippling through me in vicious waves was bound to make me crazy if I kept everything to myself until I could contact Lucy physically."I'm resigning, what else?" I scoffed. "I can't believe I've been surviving on his money indirectly after making a pact with myself that I was never gonna need his stupid money."The thought caused anger to boil within me as I tightened my grip on Ethan's small hand.We were currently at the mall shopping for groceries and a super mario game set for Ethan."That aunty Lulu?" He asked, eyes glistening with childlike innocence."Yes, baby," I found myself grinning from ear to ear, despite the i
