"We are getting a divorce." I stared blankly at the paper Ethan just handed to me. There was no way this was happening. "Get it signed as soon as possible." He muttered again, with so much easiness that made me think I've been married to myself all this years. Why does it seem like I was suffocating? I staggered a bit. "Is this what you want?" I managed to say to him and he nodded firmly, I searched his eyes for anything, any hint at all to why he was doing this. But there was nothing. I never believed Ethan could this to me. I've loved and dedicated my life to him for the past five years, even though he treated me like trash.

Chapter 1 Emily's POV

"We are getting a divorce."

I stared blankly at the paper Ethan just handed to me.

There was no way this was happening.

"Get it signed as soon as possible." He muttered again, with so much easiness that made me think I've been married to myself all this years.

Why does it seem like I was suffocating? I staggered abit.

"Is this what you want?" I managed to say to him and he nodded firmly,

I searched his eyes for anything, any hint at all to why he was doing this. But there was nothing.

I never believed Ethan could this to me. I've loved and dedicated my life to him for the past five years, even though he treated me like trash.

"Is it Mia?" I asked, my eyes getting a bit teary now.

"Yes." He replied sharply, and almost a smile could be sighted at his lips.

"I don't care about your relationship with her! like I've never cared, I've never interfered in your affairs with her! why then do you need to divorce me?!" I couldn't hold my tears anymore as it began strolling down freely.

"I will give you anything you want." He muttered.

"We could work this out, our marriage was out of love. We can make this work again. I love you Ethan and you know it." I muttered, my voice tearing apart now, my whole world was sinking,.

"Ethan? we can do this."

"A million dollars, I'll give you a million dollars,."

My heart sank at his response.

I could see his mind was already made up, nothing could be done now.

I sniffed in painfully and left his presence, with the papers in my hand getting squized by my palm as if that could help my marriage.

When I was completely out of sight, I squatted down, allowing my tears strolling down freely as I cried my eyes out. I had never imagined my marriage could reach this point. The thought of being separated from Ethan for the rest our lives twitched my chest I couldn't stop the tears.

When I was done, I stood up slowly, picking my belongings, the one that was mostly necessary.

I quickly removed the pyjamas and wore one of my gowns.

Then picked some of my shoes and packed it all in my box. When I was done I dragged my box along with me, trying hard to not shed more tears. For the past three years of my life after Mia came back, it has being from tears to fighting hard to be seen. It was time to let go now.

When I got to the living room, Mia stood, a sarcastic smirk playing at her lips which disappeared immediately she sighted my husband.

On a normal day, I could've let that slide, but what was the point now? Ethan already kicked me out, I could relieve some burden from my mind.

I let go of my bag's handle, and fiercely dashed towards her, I sent several slaps to her face.

Her expression was priceless, it brought joy to my heart, she never expected I'd do something like that. I've always tolerated her sh!t cos of Ethan, but today I didn't give a damn anymore.

She screamed in pain as I refused to let go of her hair.

Ethan swiftly grabbed her into his arms, while she cried. I didn't care, if he let go of her now, I could beat her up some more before I take my leave.

"We just love each other, why can't you just let us be together?" She sniffed into his chest and Ethan rubbed her back soothingly.

My eyes welled up, it was me Ethan used to hold like this. I remembered our moments and my heart sank the more.

Life was still okay, blooming with love with my Ethan until Mia came back from her studies abroad, his childhood friend whom he believed it was his first and true love to divorce me. Ethan never told me he had a lover that he was so obsessive with. He never for once told me he was using me to pass time till his lover returned.

I wiped my tears vigorously and grabbed my bag off the floor.

I could sense his stares between me and my suitcase.

"And where are you going?"

I scoffed. Maybe he suddenly lost his mind.

But I wasn't ready to correct that, I looked at him from his head down to his toe and I stomped out of his house.

"You can just stay! do you have to leave yet? Come back Lily! I haven't given you the order to leave yet!"

I scoffed painfully without giving him any glance, if we were going to divorce in few days, I might as well just leave now.

He followed me out but I didn't give him a glance as I kept pushing my suit case and walking fast.

I guess he wouldn't want the media to catch a picture of him, hence he went back. I couldn't here his voice anymore.

What else does he want? He wanted some space for him and his lover, he has it all now. What else does he really want?

I bit my lower lips in anger as I walked. The box was a bit heavy, but I must brace up.

When I was completely out of the estate. The burden in my heart had reduced. I could see life from another side again. Maybe I should've done this a long time ago. Freedom, yea from Ethan's hell hole. I couldn't have seen it earlier, but this was for the best.

I breathed in the cool breeze and finally stopped a taxi.

"AZ hotel." I muttered as I sprung into the car, feeling light headed now.

I jumped on the bed as soon as I get to my room, all this while I thought it was love, but I've realized everything now, I was only imprisoned, and now, I was freed.

A smile crept to my lips and a breath of relieve escaped my lungs.

I swiftly placed a call to Lexi,

"Hey Lily" She bellowed excitedly.

"Wait, where are you? and why does the place looks familiar?"

It was a video call, hence she could see everything.

I was more joyful when the receptionist told me these room was available, since it held a lot of my memories before I married Ethan, I and Lexi always hang out here till we both got entangled with our men, and now, mine was leaving me.

"Don't tell me you went having fun on your own!" She yelled and now I just had to say something before she rushed down here.

"I'm getting divorced Lexi."

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
5.0

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
