I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

I'm staring at the still unconscious figure of papa. Marius and I need him. And I don't know what I'll do if he never wakes up again. Suddenly, Pierce's face flashes in my mind, and anger flares within me. It's all his fault! He'll have his doomsday too! But for now, I must focus on saving myself and my family from him. Then, I'll execute his downfall.When I head back home, Marius isn't there. I ask the staff and the bodyguards, but none of them can tell me where he is. I try to call him, but he isn't picking up. And my worry begins to twist like a knot in my chest.Then, my phone rings. It's Leslie. -["Hazel, I'm with Marius. He's... he's drunk.”]-"Where are you?" I ask."We’re at Uptown Bar," Leslie replies.Quickly, I hop back in my car and drive away.Inside the bar, Marius is slumped on the table, almost paralyzed. Leslie is beside him, trying to help him to his feet. "Marius?" I call out gently, rubbing my palm on his back.Marius looks up, his eyes half-closed. But he does

I don't know if this will work, or I'll just waste my time, but I'm willing to try to hopefully end all our suffering.With my bodyguards close by, I walk into a high-end restaurant where there’s a VIP room exclusive for its patrons. Pierce is there, seated at the head of the table, his legs crossed as he leisurely sips his tea. I take a seat opposite him, and ask, "So, what offer do you have for me?" Pierce sets down his teacup, a smirk playing on his lips. "Simple. Drop your cases against me, and I’ll reinstate Marius as one of the board of directors in my corporation."Drop the cases? I can’t make this decision on my own—it’s papa’s choice. And I wonder, is Pierce’s freedom really worth Marius’ financial security? "I’ll wait for papa to wake up and talk to him about that," I reply. Then, I bring up another issue, "About the agreement of making Archie the sole heir of your wealth, I’ll agree. I just need to convince Marius–"I stop when Pierce raises his hand. "There’s no need. I

MARIUS’ POV: Dad is now in jail and can’t post bail, which is an awesome feeling. The lies about Carter have done enough damage, and at least some of the hatred against me and Hazel has lessened. But the public still can't forgive me for swapping two identities without their permission, and it’s terribly affecting my real estate business. The pre-selling condo units and house and lot projects have started with some promise, but the numbers of sales are much lower than I’ve anticipated. Every day, I try to stay optimistic, telling myself that once the high-rise buildings and the houses are finished, more potential buyers will show interest. But, the thing is, I’m running out of money. The loans from different banks are piling up too, and the thought of asking Hazel or dad, Mr. Montgomery, for financial help again makes my stomach churn. I’m trying so hard to prove myself and to provide the best future for my family, but now I wonder if I’m just sinking deeper into a hole I can ne

HAZEL’S POV: I almost stumble down when I see Marius kissing his new ‘business partner.’ The scene hits me like a freight train, dragging up the old pain of Carter’s betrayal. I rush out of the venue, avoiding the inquiring stares of the other guests.In the car, Marius tries to explain himself. I see his lips moving, hear the sound of his voice, but none of his words reaches my comprehension. He reaches out to touch me, but I recoil, feeling only numbness where there should be warmth. Then, my tears start to fall.I try to convince myself that it’s just a mistake, that Marius will never cheat on me. But the more I repeat it in my mind, the less I believe it. We arrive home, and I still haven’t said a word to him, can’t even bring myself to look at him.I go straight to one of the guest rooms instead of our bedroom, and lock the door. Marius knocks, “Please Hazel. Let’s not end this day without resolving this.”But I ignore him. The pain is too much, and the tears won’t stop. Su

I’m leaving Marius, and I’ll bring my sons with me! Papa's house is the first place that comes to mind as I pack our belongings. When we arrive, I explain everything to papa. He understands and welcomes us. And I’m grateful for his unwavering kindness. He tries to talk to me though. “Running away won't fix things. Eventually, you will have to face your problems.”I know that. But for now, I need space away from Marius.Marius keeps calling my phone, but I’m not picking up. He has probably found out already that we left.A moment later, the doorbell rings, and Marius steps in as the staff opens the door. "Hazel, don’t do this. Let’s talk," he begs, desperation on his face. I look away, trying to choose which of my distressful thoughts I'd like to address first."You said you were d.rugged by Nicole when your viral s.ex photos came out online. So you're unsure if something happened between you two," I say, my voice trembling with pain and anger. "And now, almost the same thing with
