Divorcing The Billionaire: Watch Me Shine

William Jafferson Romance

“For three years, I played the perfect wife to billionaire Graves Mills, sacrificing my brilliant legal career to warm his freezing heart. But everything shattered when his true love, Aurelia, woke up from her coma. He began abandoning me in the middle of the night to rush to her side. When she faked a pregnancy to claim his fortune, he fiercely defended her and publicly humiliated me. The ultimate betrayal came when I fell down our mansion's grand staircase, shattering my leg. Bleeding and in agonizing pain, I used my last ounce of strength to call him for help. "Stop being dramatic, Cleone. I don't have time for this," he sneered impatiently. Then, I heard him lower his voice to a gentle, loving whisper to comfort Aurelia about her phantom baby, right before he hung up on me. He left me helpless on the cold marble floor, choosing to believe a manipulative liar over his own wife. I finally realized my marriage was just a waiting room, and I was nothing but a disposable placeholder. When I woke up in the hospital after emergency surgery, the last ember of hope in my chest had turned to absolute ice. I pulled out the divorce papers I had drafted long ago, signed away my rights to his hundreds of millions, and blocked him completely. This time, I am no longer the obedient Mrs. Mills. I am Cleone Knight, and I am taking my life back.”
