All Chapters of I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire!: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Hazel Montgomery is a force to be reckoned with, and I intend to prove it to the world. Accepting papa’s offer to start my own business is the first step in my transformation. Hazel's Cosmetics is my brainchild. But I’m not forgetting the reason why I’m fully embracing the new me: Revenge. My first act of revenge is swift and merciless. Imelda and Ferdie are now behind bars. With the help of a private investigator, I tipped off the authorities about their involvement with illegal d.rugs after losing Carter's financial support. The next on my list are Pierce and Carter. With papa's hesitant permission, I invest a significant amount of money into Thorne and Whitlock's Corporations. It’ll only be a matter of time before I can gain control of some of their assets. When that happens, I’ll dismantle their empires piece by piece. And then there’s Marius. When papa announces through a press conference that I’m his missing daughter, many big media outlets want to interview me. So I make

MARIUS’ POV: The news hit me like a sledgehammer: Hazel had been shot! Hazel’s unconscious and bloody image I saw on TV keeps flashing in my head as I sprint through the hallways of the hospital where she’s brought.Outside Hazel’s room, Carter is already there with Mr. Montgomery, both looking extremely worried. Carter's eyebrow shoots up the instant he sees me, but I just brush past him and address Mr. Montgomery directly. “How is she?”Mr. Montgomery says, “The doctor said that a bullet is currently lodged near her heart and that she needs surgery as soon as possible. But even with the surgery, there’s no guarantee that she’ll survive this.”My blood runs cold, and I blink back my tears.“Is there any lead on who may have done this?” I ask.“The police said it may be someone who has a personal vendetta against her,” Mr. Montgomery replies, sinking to a bench and burying his face in his hands.Carter places a reassuring hand on Mr. Montgomery’s shoulder. “I’ll find out who did t

NICOLE’S POV: I expect not to see any semblance of joy or excitement in Marius' eyes. And I’m not wrong: Marius looks utterly skeptical and mortified. "I’m not believing that we really had s.ex that day," he says. "I passed out. The next thing I know, there are viral photos of us... like that." "Also, my medical report showed a huge dose of drugs in my system. Then, the wine that you forced me to drink before I passed out suddenly disappeared when I demanded you to hand it over to me.” My composure slips. But I have to act my way out of his accusations. "How dare you accuse me of something so vile! I'm carrying your child, Marius. Is this how little you think of me?" My choreographed tears fall freely as I place my hands protectively over my stomach. “I can’t just accept this without proof. Everything points to this being a setup,” he says. “And if I prove this is your child?” I ask. He draws out a stiff breath. “Then I’ll be its father, but don’t expect me to bow down to

HAZEL’S POV: It’s Lilian who triggered this. I may have paid the price with an almost near-death experience again, but at least I got my revenge against her - she’ll be rotting in jail until her last breath! “This revenge of yours... it's only going to bring more danger. What if Pierce or Carter find out that they’re part of it and retaliate? They're much more dangerous than Lilian,” Papa says. But papa doesn’t understand. Whether I'm vengeful or not, these people will always harm me. At least with being vengeful, I'm not just sitting here waiting for them to destroy me. “I'll pull out the investments you made in Carter and Pierce's companies under my company name," he adds. Frustration surges through me, but I bite back my retort. I can just invest the money I already have, plus the future earnings from my new cosmetics business. It isn't as much as papa’s, but it’s enough to keep my grip on Carter and Pierce's assets, and to eventually destroy them. Papa, realizing that I’m

A new baby isn’t about competing against Nicole to make things more complicated, but more like trying to completely forgive Marius and stop dealing with the pain of losing our baby. Even so, I’m still not accepting Marius' proposal. Not yet. My day begins at the graveyard. Marius and I stand side by side in front of our baby’s stone marker. Together, we offer flowers and whisper prayers. Our next stop is the hospital for Sammy's check-ups. The doctor tells us that his cancer cells are slowing down, and if this continues, he’ll soon be cancer free. Though I’m relieved to hear that, I’ll remain fearful as long as my son isn’t completely healed. I already lost a child, my sanity can’t afford to lose another one. Looking at Marius with Sammy clinging into his chest, I feel like we’re a family… again. For how long will this last? I don’t wanna think about that anymore. I just wanna immerse myself in the present and let the future take care of itself. Later, we drive back home sinc
