30 Days to leave my CEO husband

30 Days to leave my CEO husband

For three years, Ariella Xaviers loved her husband fiercely - even when billionaire tycoon Nathan Evans never gave her anything other than cold glances and distant words. Three years of silent agony. Three years of whispers about her inability to bare a child. Three years of pretending that all would be fine again. What Nathan didn't know is that his obedient, timid wife isn't the broke ordinary wife he thinks she is. While he is too busy with work and spending time with another woman, Ariella is counting down - 30 days, 29 days, 10 days..until she leaves her marriage. By the time he discovers the truth; her identity, her sacrifice, the divorce paper he'd unknowingly signed - his wife was already gone. And for the first time- the cold, untouchable billionaire tycoon is the one heartbroken. Five years later she returns, richer, colder, impossibly beautiful—with an adorable little boy who looks exactly like him. Now the ruthless billionaire who once ignored her is obsessed with winning her back. But Ariella is no longer alone. At her side stands Alan Black - a dangerously charming billionaire who adores both mother and son…and is ready to go lengths to keep them. As scandals explode, secrets unravel, and two powerful men fight to win her heart, Ariella must decide: Can the man who broke her ever deserve a second chance? Or will she choose the one who taught her how to love again?.

Chapter: Dynamite Luminary
My body went numb as Jennifer walked up to the podium like she deserved to be there. She walked with her back straight and her shoulder held up like it was her project she was about to defend.An applause broke out the moment she introduced herself.She hit the first slide and turned to face the crowd.My blood boiled at the sight of my own watermark- Dynamite Luminary. A.E, on the great screen beside her."Now, Ariella," Melinda nudged me forward. "Before she starts talking. Now!"I smoothened imaginary wrinkles from my dress. Holding my breath, I continued on to the stage. Before stepping out of the divider that separated us from the crowd, I touched my stomach briefly. Hi little one. Let's do this.Then I stepped unto the stage.Someone started to my direction, hurrying over to me. He looked like security. I did not pay him heed, I crossed the distance to Jennifer.She froze at the sight of me. Her eyes widening for a second. Then she blinked and it was gone. "What's all this?" S

Chapter: Find a way.
Melinda put back the papers in her bag with a nod."I can't thank you enough, Lin.""Enough of that," she waved. "We should toast to this. Let's drink!"I went to get a bottle of Chardonnay from the kitchen, and poured her a glass."Why aren't you drinking?" she asked and took a sip from the glass. "Hmm," she nodded in appreciation. "You should take from this.""I'm a bit lightheaded," I answered sincerely. "Besides I do not feel like taking.anything at the...""Hsve you seen this," Melinda cut in, showing me the recent clip of Jennifer.I nodded slowly. "Face of Xzan huh? Who knew the bitch got something reasonable up her head. Honestly I always saw her as a dunce. But Dynamite? Wow.....""Lin." She kept talking."Melinda?"She paused, looking at my face. "You...you're crying?"I didn't even know I was. I wiped at my face. "I don't know how to say this.""What's wrong?" Melinda appeared real worried. "Go on... whatever it is, I can't judge."I broke down completely then. I spilled

Chapter: I'd fight.
Deep down, I'd wished the thirty days countdown would change my mind. I had hoped to see changes that will make me consider a reconciliation. No more.There would never be a chance for Nathan again, I vowed. I was done.Only two days left to leave him.The next day, I woke up in good spirits. It fully dawned on me that I was doing this. I was presenting for Xzan's yearly global project. And the best part of it? I was leaving Nathan soon. Thankfully, he wasn't around. I wasn't looking forward to a repeat of what happened last night.I fixed myself a quick meal and dived straight into work, polishing and refining my project topic. I was disrupted by the shrill sound of my phone's ringtone.To my surprise it was Jacob Larson who introduced himself when I picked up. I frowned, wondering why he called and not send a mail like he used to.*"Your project for Dynamite was it done fully by you? Or you had others who worked with you?" he asked.My frown deepened, not knowing where he was going

Chapter: Two Vile people
"I think there can be two faces of Xzan this year," he shrugged. "You deserve it."The judges started to discuss at once. "Congratulations, Mrs Evans," Mr Jacob said in a beat. Then the others were also smiling broadly at me.I burst into tears. "Mrs Evans?" "I..I'm...just overwhelmed." "We understand," another said. "Do you have a name for this project? It's Dynamite's but we allow for secondary personalization.""Yeah. It's Dynamite Luminary project." I had watermarked every of the files with the initials.The judge opened down something in his journal. "Good choice. Please sharpen everything you feel needs to be worked on before the D-Day.""I will, thank you." With another deep bow, I left. Honestly, it felt like a dream, surreal. I got into the elevator to going down floor and met the surprise of my life.Jennifer was standing right beside me. She was putting on a pencil skirt and a shirt. I arched my brow at the briefcase in her hand. She was Jennifer, the actress and publ

Chapter: An exception
Nathan's POVMy gaze followed Ariella as she ascended the stairs. "Is there something wrong?" Jennifer asked. "You keep looking that way even after she has gone.""Ariella surprises me," I said quietly. "In what way?""The manner she has been moving of late," I mumbled. "She leaves the house more often. She stays out for long and return with flimsy excuse. I can't imagine why. Even after stopping her from using my car...."You stopped her from using your car?" Jennifer interrupted my ramblings. "I had to.""It's a good step." She took a sip from her glass. "She could be seeing someone else."My eye widened. Why haven't I thought that?"I mean," Jennifer shrugged. "It's possible. When ladies start keeping late night. It's always a man figure behind it."Thinking of it..... it actually made sense. My hands fisted around the glass. "How dare she. Under my roof?""Seizing your car isn't enough. Seize her access to your credit cards too," Jennifer suggested. "Let's see if she keeps up t

Chapter: More careful
I came around to so much beeping around me. I sighed, wondering if it was going to end soon."You're awake?" I turned to see doctor Jones injecting the IV attached to my hand. "Doctor," I croaked. "Can I get water?"A nurse appeared almost immediately with a bottle of water which she tilted into my mouth. After I drank my fill, doctor Jones instructed her to raise the top of my bed in a sitting position. "How long was I out?" I asked when the nurse left. "A couple hours," he replied.I closed my eyes, looking for inner strength to ask the question that was top on my mind. No matter what I did. I couldn't ask. I just couldn't."Did you know what happened to you?" he saved me by asking."I was at a party," I told him. "Then my stomach started hurting.""Did you eat anything in this party?" he asked.I leaned forward, my eye widening. I voiced my suspicions slowly. "I was poisoned?"He nodded. "It was a clear case of food poisoning. Thank goodness you came on time. We were able to tack
