All Chapters of Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

After spending the day with Kara and Grace, Amanda heads over to the home of another friend she’d known since college. Lily Edwards—a friend just a year younger and someone Amanda stays in close touch with—insists Amanda join her for dinner after hearing about her intention of divorce.Amanda rings the doorbell and then glances down, adjusting the bouquet of flowers in her arms. Lily loves flowers, so Amanda had taken the time to pick out a delicate arrangement.Yellow alstroemeria and violets—a fresh, gentle combination.When she hears some movements, Amanda raises her head, only to be greeted by an unfamiliar man standing in the doorway, one hand resting on the door handle, still holding it open.The man is dressed in formal suits, as if he’s just returned from an evening out, with a pair of glasses perched on his nose. The lenses are thin, clearly only slightly corrective. He is a handsome devil. But he looks

“No wonder you used won’t be."Amanda suddenly breaks into a smile. “Has anyone ever told you that you’re savage?” She changes her opinion of him in a short period of time. By his appearance, Amanda had assumed he’d be the type to speak gently, maybe even in a roundabout way. But to her surprise, his words are straightforward, without a hint of pretense. “It’s better this way, isn’t it? Misunderstandings happen because people hold back instead of just saying things clearly.”Amanda nods in agreement. If Riley had been this direct from the start, she wouldn’t have waited three years to divorce.Originally, she refused to get close to anyone connected with Riley. But maybe Lily is right; she’s starting to like Shawn. Maybe they really could become friends.“By the way, I’m not one to spread gossip. You don’t have to worry about that,&

Amanda gets home, washes up, and goes straight to bed.Amanda sleeps well. She learned long ago not to let her emotions interfere with her sleep. Besides, her mood is not affected by Shawn’s words.She’s been sleeping well all these days. She no longer waits for Riley’s coming back home, nor worries about his bad mood.The whole space is totally belonged to her. And there is filled with things she loves. She even has a dedicated study and workspace.When she takes a bath, she lights her favorite incense. By the time she’s done, the incense has burned down, leaving the room with a lingering scent she adores.And then, she drifts off to sleep, surrounded by that gentle fragrance.As daylight steadily bleaches darkness from the sky, Amanda wakes up.She walks to the window and pulls back the curtains. The bright dawn floods the room, sweeping the dreamy shadows into the dusky corners. The lawn lies beneath a shrou

Meanwhile, Riley is in the middle of a meeting.He’s now in complete control of Griffin, busy cutting ties with his father’s lingering influence. His schedule is packed with endless meetings, leaving him hardly a moment to breathe. And to make matters worse, Amanda isn’t around.While Riley has more than one assistant, Amanda has always been the most exceptional. Without him needing to say a word, she would anticipate his thoughts, organizing even the most complex tasks in a smooth, efficient way. No matter how heavy his workload, with Amanda’s help, everything ran like clockwork.Now, even though the setting is familiar, the absence of that familiar face has thrown him off balance. Just a few days without her, and Riley already feels a distinct discomfort.He isn’t a difficult boss to work for, but he values efficiency and dislikes unnecessary chatter. Griffin employees are well-accustomed to this high-efficiency style, and

Amanda arrives at the company. With a lightness in her step and a radiant smile, she floats along as if she has wings on her feet.It won't take long for her to leave the company.“Amanda, are you going to quit this job?” Chloe, the human resource manager and a friend of Amanda’s, asks her.“Yes, I… just want to try something different.”“But… Mr. Griffin…” Chloe has always known Amanda’s feelings for Riley. Not just her—most people in the company are aware. Amanda is really bad at hiding her affection. Even though they’ve heard Riley’s married, no one has seen his wife, nor does he wear a wedding ring. Some assume he uses his “married” status as a way to keep others at bay. So many of them feel that Amanda deserves better. She shouldn't have poured too much emotion into Riley.Chloe hesitates, looking around to make sure no
