The day Arthur Reed and I signed our divorce papers, his stepsister, Chloe Bennett, watched me with red-rimmed eyes. "Lilith, I'm sorry. Once I get better, I'll step aside and give Arthur back to you. You have to believe me." I could recite that apology in my sleep. Whenever Chloe cried, Arthur gave in. To keep his depressed stepsister happy, he would put another set of divorce papers in front of me. We had married four times and divorced four times. Everyone praised Arthur as a caring brother, while I was the one who had to suffer for it. Every time the paperwork was done, Arthur would kiss my cheek and say, "It's just a piece of paper. It's temporary. Once Chloe is stable, we'll remarry. You know you're the only one I've ever loved." I believed him. I kept waiting for him to come back to me. Then last month, I was rushed to the hospital after a car accident. The doctors needed my emergency contact before they could operate. I called Arthur. He sounded annoyed. "Chloe's in a terrible state right now. She needs me. You're so strong. Can't you look after yourself?" So today, when he put the divorce papers in front of me for the fifth time to calm Chloe down, I signed without hesitating. Arthur assumed I would do what I had done the other four times and go home to wait for him to marry me again. He was wrong. This time, I meant it. He would lose both me and his fortune!

After Our Fifth Divorce, I Took Everything Back Chapter 11
A week later, Arthur, completely broke and desperate, ran into Chloe outside a pawnshop. Her lover had taken all her money and left her homeless.After nearly tearing each other apart, the two had gotten back together just to survive.They were trying to pawn a fake Rolex for enough money to buy two black-market boat tickets and skip town.Just as the deal was about to go through, three police cars pulled up and surrounded them.The officers jumped out and handcuffed them both. "Mr. Reed, Ms. Bennett, you're suspected of theft and embezzlement. We have received a formal complaint and supporting evidence. You'll need to come with us for questioning.""What? No, that's impossible! I didn't do anything. You've got the wrong people!" Arthur struggled in panic, sending pain through his broken ribs that still hadn't healed.Chloe shook her head frantically. Even now, she was still pretending to be innocent. "Yes, there must be some mistake. We're law-abiding citizens."The police ignored the

Disgust flashed across Caleb's face. He didn't even bother moving away. He simply gave his bodyguards a look.One of them planted a foot in Chloe's stomach and kicked her aside like a bag of trash."Disinfect this spot. It's disgusting," Caleb said coldly before getting into his car.Ironically, Arthur had followed Chloe there to beg her for money to buy alcohol. He had seen everything from behind a pillar.The moment Caleb's Rolls-Royce left the garage, Arthur rushed out. He grabbed Chloe by the hair and slapped her several times. The security microphone caught him shouting. "Slut! How dare you throw yourself at another man behind my back?! Weren't you the one who kept saying you loved me? That you couldn't live without me? That I was the only one who could help with your depression?!"Chloe's mouth was bleeding, and one of her false eyelashes was half hanging off.But this time, she didn't cry or pretend to be weak. She lunged at Arthur and scratched his face, leaving three bloody ma

Arthur's screams could still be heard from outside.Caleb smiled and asked, "How do you plan to thank me for helping you out back there, Lilith?"The guests quickly took the hint and moved away, giving us some privacy.I let out a breath and looked up at Caleb. "Dinner's on me. Thanks for playing along.""Who said I was acting?" Caleb laughed softly.Instead of letting go of my waist, he leaned slightly and closed the distance between us.The cool scent of cedar surrounded me. His blue eyes stayed on mine, and his voice dropped lower. "Winston men don't joke about marriage. Lilith, if you're willing, we can get married anytime you want. Those banks I just bought? Consider them my wedding gift to you."His sudden confession caught me off guard. My heart skipped a beat.But I quickly recovered. I met his eyes and smiled. "You want to marry me? I don't make it easy for suitors. Are you up for the challenge?""I'd be happy to try." Caleb smiled. "I have a lifetime. I'm ready whenever you a

The ballroom was filled with elegantly dressed guests and sparkling jewels. Everything about the evening screamed luxury.The moment Caleb and I walked in, everyone turned to look at us.We made quite a pair. People quickly gathered around us, hoping for a chance to talk.Partway through the evening, a European diplomat called Caleb over."Excuse me, I'll be back in five minutes." Caleb leaned down and spoke softly into my ear. He handed me a glass of fruit wine. "Don't go far. Wait for me."I nodded and went out to the terrace for some fresh air.That was when I heard hurried footsteps from behind."Lilith! I finally found you!"I turned around and frowned. It was Arthur.If it hadn't been for his familiar face, I might not have recognized him. He looked nothing like the confident president he used to be.His suit was wrinkled, his hair was a mess, and his eyes were sunken. Dark stubble covered his jaw. He looked hungover, exhausted, and broke. He was nothing like the man he used to b
