Rejected By My Husband, Desired By His Billionaire Brother
She loved him. He humiliated her. Now she’s walking away—for good!
Lily gave up everything for her husband, William Aldridge—the man she believed was her forever. But on their anniversary, the night she planned to share the news of her long-awaited pregnancy, she walked in on him tangled in the arms of her best friend.
With betrayal cutting deeper than any knife and humiliation turning her heart to ash, Lily makes a choice. No more tears. No more waiting to be loved. If not for her shattered dignity, then for the sake of her unborn child, she will return to her true self—Lilian Arkwright, the hidden heiress of the powerful Arkwright Conglomerate.
But just as she begins to rebuild her shattered world, she catches the attention of Aaron Aldridge—the devilishly handsome, younger tycoon brother of William, with secrets of his own and a desire to win her heart, no matter the cost.
Now torn between the father of her unborn child, the man who broke her... and the man who would do anything to love her, Lilian must decide:
Forgiveness or freedom? Past or future?
~•~•~
Pa!
Lily threw the stack of documents on the table in front of him. Without waiting for him to question, she said. "Divorce papers, sign them."
William stared at the documents like they were a foreign language. “Divorce papers? You’re not serious,” he said, his voice low, disbelieving.
Lily remained seated across from him, her expression unreadable. “I’ve never been more serious in my life.”
Leaning forward, she slid the pen across the table toward him and repeated.
“Sign it.”

Chapter: The Start Of Her New Life"600 million dollars?!"Once again, both Thomas and Lily chorused and Joel simply nodded, like he hadn't just quoted a huge figure."Yes, that is the requirement you must meet for me to be certain that living the family in your hand is the right decision.""Hmph, easy," Megan snorted, crossing her arms over her chest. "Tommy can easily scale such a figure. But, I don't think it would be the same for someone like you who doesn't even know the first thing about business."Those words were like a slight jab to Lily and she briefly glared in Megan's direction."Lily is smart, I'm sure she'll figure it out." Joel said. "Starting next week Lily, you'll work alongside Thomas as the vice president of Arkwright Conglomerate, both your performances would be monitored and evaluated and only after the business year is up, would a suitable candidate be chosen. Do you understand?"She did, but quite frankly, she didn't want to participate in such a challenge. Not that she didn't have fate in her ab

Chapter: Home Sweet HomeThe drive back home was filled with the kind of silence that made Lily slightly nervous. Thomas remained silent, but she could tell by the way his fingers drummed against the steering wheel and his occasional glances in her direction, that he had a lot to say.Soon enough, after what felt like forever, Thomas's car came to a stop in the vast driveway of the Arkwright Estate.Lily gracefully stepped down and took a moment to examine the place she once called home. The estate had not changed a bit. Towering white stone columns stood like eternal sentinels before the mansion, and the rose garden bloomed with pride, despite the fact that she, the owner of said garden, had not been around for years to take care of it.In the far end of the estate stood the place she had once considered her safe home right before that delusion was destroyed before her very eyes. However, before her mind could wander down that dark lane, Thomas's voice interrupted her thoughts."Come on, Grandfather's waitin

Chapter: The End Of Her Married Life.About two hours later, Lily was done packing all she needed to—not that she had much—and was currently sitting on the front steps of the house, waiting for her brother.As she waited, only one thought replayed in her mind. She was going home after so many years.After the call with her brother, Lily had gotten a message from Mr. Linford, explaining how he had no other choice but to inform her brother about the divorce after he had done some digging into his activity upon learning that he had been in contact with her.Lily wasn't surprised. Moreover, she was surprised he hadn't done it sooner. Although she and her older brother, Thomas Arkwright, didn't have the same mother, they were really close.The relationship between her and her brother was special, so much so that he took a pretty good care of her. When she had first fallen in love with William and wanted to pursue marriage, he had been against it, telling her, not only was she not ready for Marriage, but that William wasn't the

Chapter: It Was Time To Stop Playing House.William didn't come home for the next few days.It was as if that was his way of punishing Lily for the stunt she had supposedly pulled. However, despite his usual absence, Lily felt strangely relieved.In those few days, she had plenty of time to think and prepare herself. She also had more than enough time to pack her things and receive the divorce papers Mr. Linford had prepared.The very same day it arrived, she got on a call with him and after hearing what he had to say, she couldn't help but frown."Mr. Linford, please...keep this a secret from them." She said into the phone.Right about that time, she saw from the window as William's favorite car pulled into the vast courtyard outside and he stepped out.His appearance as usual, was well put together, pristine and immaculate, a very befitting look for the handsome CEO he is. However, one thing stood out and caught Lily's eye.A lipstick stain on his collar. Fresh and bold.She silently chuckled at this.Ah, Isabella was now get

Chapter: It Was Time To Divorce.“Apologized to Isabella this very second, or I'll have the guards throw you on your knees and hold you there until you apologize!” William's voice bounced off the walls of the event halls.Some of the attendees present, took several steps back, startled by his sudden outburst. But Lily, she was frozen where she stood, staring at her husband in disbelief.Was he asking her to apologize for something she did not do? In front of all these people? And Isabella, her gaze drifted in the direction of said girl, who was currently nestled in William's arms, feigning weakness. Wasn't she going to say anything?Parting her lips, she called, “Isabella–” but the name immediately died on the tip of her tongue as in that moment, Lily saw it—clear as day. The subtle curve in Isabella’s lips. The smirk she was trying to fight as she nestled her face into William’s chest. She wasn't hurt. She wasn't crying…she was enjoying this. Something in Lily turned cold the moment she saw this. Like a bucket o

Chapter: The Final Straw Of Betrayal.William's lips moved over hers in a bruising kiss, his tongue probing her mouth in a hungry manner.It took Lily a second to react, her mind was still fuzzy from sleep. But when it did clear up, her stomach dropped with disgust.The man whose kiss she had once craved, whose touch she had once longed for was now the same person who had shattered her heart into a million pieces.Anger consumed her and without thinking, she jerked her head back, breaking the kiss."What the hell do you think you're doing? Get off me!" She said, struggling against his hold, but this only made his hold tighten around her.“Be quiet!” William growled as his lips captured hers again and his tongue found its way into her mouth. Lily immediately tasted the alcohol and the sickening mix of his and Isabella's scent, which made her gag.She pushed against him again, harder this time, her anger rising. Successfully, she managed to break the kiss, scurrying away from him."What the hell do you think you're doing?"
