The tenth time one of my paintings appeared under my sister Rose's name, I handed Adrian the divorce papers. He raised an eyebrow and tossed the agreement aside without a second glance. "Don't be dramatic. Your hand is ruined -- where would you even go without me?" I said nothing. He smiled, his tone dripping with casual indifference. "You should be grateful. Rose was the one I was supposed to marry. A few paintings is a small price to pay. A little gratitude wouldn't kill you." He blew a ring of cigarette smoke directly into my face. I choked, and the sting brought tears to my eyes. Through the blur, I was transported back to the moment my tendons were severed for his sake -- a pain that had drilled straight to the bone. He thought I had no choice but to take it. What he didn't know was that I'd already accepted an offer from the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Soon, I would be free of him for good.

Billionaire Husband Chose My Sister, I Chose To Divorce Chapter 10
The day we signed the divorce papers, the weather was gorgeous. Elliot had insisted on coming with me, and I'd given up trying to talk him out of it.Walking out of the County Clerk's Office, I felt lighter than I had in years. Every last bit of misery was finally behind me. The sun was blazing overhead, and I squinted against the glare.Adrian reached up and shielded my eyes with his hand -- the same instinctive gesture from those sweltering summers when we were young, when he used to block the sun for me without being asked.Something stirred in my chest. I glanced at him. He'd cleaned himself up, dressed in the white button-down and dark trousers I'd always liked. That face was still handsome, but the life had gone out of it.When he noticed me looking, he fidgeted with his collar, then offered me a small, uncertain smile -- the kind meant to please.And just like that, something inside me unclenched."Adrian, you did help me once.""That summer when Rose first moved in -- you took

The first thing Adrian did when he woke in the hospital was reach for his phone.Nothing. Not a single message. Maybe Lily hadn't seen the livestream yet. He clung to that thought, repeating it like a prayer.But the comments dragged him under anyway."What a sorry excuse for a man. We support you, girl -- get that divorce!"That one sat at number two on the top comments."'Wife'? You don't deserve to call her that. Your real match is rotting in a cell where she belongs!""Trash belongs with trash. At least they'll last.""I've seen plenty of lowlifes, but never one this low. Bookmarking this for the entertainment.""This guy's clearly unstable. Stay away from her. She doesn't need your bad luck."His phone buzzed.One new message from Lily."Since you won't agree to the divorce, I'll see you in court."Adrian crumbled. He wanted to fight it, wanted to hold on -- but he had nothing left. No leverage, no argument, no right. All he could do was watch her walk away while a hole opened up

It didn't take long for Rose's plagiarism to explode across the art world like a bomb.And my name rose with it.Everyone learned the truth: the award-winning work that had launched Rose Thornton's career had been mine all along -- and I would never paint again.At the same time, the photo of me being forced to publicly apologize resurfaced and spread like wildfire online. Rose became a pariah, universally condemned. She was finished.The paintings I'd sold abroad were now fetching astronomical prices, and collectors lined up to make offers on the pieces still in my possession.I turned them all down.I'd never painted for money or fame. I'd picked up a brush because I wanted to capture the beauty of the world and the people in it -- nothing more.Now all I wanted was to keep my remaining work safe, so that someday, when I was old, I could look at them and remember what happiness felt like.Then the bullying came to light.Rose had kept a phone hidden away, and on it were recordings of

Life at the academy was a breath of fresh air. The students adored me, and through teaching them, I began to rediscover my own worth.So what if my hand was ruined? My eye for beauty hadn't gone anywhere. I could guide my students, help them create the kind of art I once made myself.It was on one of those bright mornings that I ran into Adrian.He looked terrible -- unshaven, eyes shot through with red, his voice scraped raw."Lily. I finally found you."I walked right past him without so much as a glance.What a way to ruin a perfectly good morning. Even the air felt dirtier with him in it.He stepped in front of me again. I looked up, cold and unimpressed."What -- did you come all this way to fight Rose's battles for her?"He flinched. Pain flickered through his eyes, and he grabbed my arm."Lily, I do love you. I always have. Come home with me. Please.""No."I tried to pull free. His grip held.I was going to be late for class. Irritation flared hot and fast."Let go of me."That

He set me down on the hospital bed and held me with such care, as if I were something precious he was cradling in the palm of his hand.A knock at the door. I caught a flash of triumph on Rose's face before it vanished.Adrian stood quickly. "Get some rest. You need it."I said nothing, just nodded
