As the days stretch into a rhythm of exploration, the island reveals its secrets. 

They wander through the cobbled streets, where buildings stand like sentinels of time, their pastel facades glowing under the winter sun. 

Kara insists on stopping at every cafe, tasting pastries dusted with sugar and thick cups of coffee, a local coffee layered with condensed milk and cinnamon. Grace, always the photographer, darts through the streets with her camera, capturing moments Amanda hasn’t even noticed—a stray cat lounging in a doorway, the way the light catches a stained-glass window.

They take a boat out to the towering cliffs, their dark faces rising like ancient guardians from the sea. Amanda stands at the bow, the salty wind tangling her hair, as dolphins dance alongside the boat, their sleek bodies cutting through the water with effortless grace.

Javier, ever the patient guide, takes them to hidden coves and local taverns, weaving stor

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter84 Shared Roads

    Faye wraps her scarf tighter around her neck, walking up the dimly lit street. Her heels click softly on the tile floor, but her mind is loud. She stops in front of a closed chocolate store, stares at the window display through the streetlight without really seeing them.Is it jealousy? Maybe. Maybe it always has been.She and Amanda—same age, same high school, even fell in love with the same boy—Riley. But they’ve always been different.Faye grew up in a world of chandeliers and silk curtains. Her family name opened doors. People remembered her—smiling in glossy magazines, wearing designer dresses at charity balls.Many people tried to please her, not because of who she was, but because of the family she came from. Her family was rich, powerful, and well-known, and that alone was enough to attract attention. Some flattered her with fake smiles, others offered favors without b

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter83 Echoes of the Past

    Riley turns his head, looks through the rain-blurred window. The bar sign glows red against the wet sidewalk this time.He can still hear the low thrum of music leaking through the walls, the chatter, the laughter.But he doesn’t go back in.There’s nothing left to say. Not tonight.Of course, he wants to know more about Amanda, about her trip, about...that guy.But he lost the right to ask a long time ago. Still, another name slips into his mind—Lily Edwards. Shawn’s sister. And Amanda’s friend.He wonders if she’d be willing to talk. About that man. About the things Riley half-heard at the bar. Something about an online store. Something about fragrance?He realizes now—he really didn’t pay attention.He’s just not good at it. Not when love’s involved.His fingers twitch near his phone.Text Lily?Ask?He almost laughs at himself.What would he even say?Hey. It’s Riley. Long time no see. Mind telling me who the guy in her photo is? And what’s up with the perfume thing?No. Stupid.

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter82 Shinning Forever

    It came back to him the day she gave him back the necklace—the old one, the so-called lucky charm from his childhood—something clicked.Their first real meeting wasn’t that banquet. It was way before. He was just a kid then. She was too.That was a party, too. His birthday party.She was terrified—lost in the garden alone.He saw her from a distance, the little girl in the blue dress standing by the fountain at the start of the birthday party.But he didn’t say anything at that time, just gave her a tissue and left that pendant behind, told her it’d keep her safe.But what stuck harder than that was college. The debate.Rex had dragged him there.Rex, with his latest crush on some girl from the debate team. Shawn came too, for the laughs.

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter81 Etched in His Mind

    Amanda never imagined forever with Riley. She never expected anything. Not even a happy ending.But in every moment she looked at him, she gave him her whole heart.She loved him with everything she had, even when she knew it might not lead anywhere.So no, she doesn’t regret loving Riley.Not because he was rich and handsome. Not because he was capable.But because she was brave. Because she had the experience to love one person with her whole heart.She fought to be near him—got into a top university, studied harder than anyone, threw herself into internships and meetings and all the chaos of corporate life.She built herself up. For him. For love.And now—those things, that strength, that experience—no one can take that away from her.So whatever Riley

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter80 Forebode

    Tears slip down his face, catching the light in soft glimmers.Amanda stares at them for a while, her chest hollowing out like the air’s been punched from her lungs. The fatigue crashes in, the kind that comes after running too long, too hard.Years of holding in emotions, all the unsaid things—they finally have a reason to spill.“So you can be scared,” she murmurs. “You can cry... like a normal person.”She exhales, almost a laugh. For the first time tonight, Amanda smiles, genuinely.It’s not wide. But it’s real.“You actually look better like this,” she says. “Way better than that perfect version of you everyone’s scared of.”Something shiny catches her eye.A ring.Her heart stutters.

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter79 A Drop of Tear

    The wind hit the windshield hard, the fallen leaves drawing slow, tired arcs—tick, tick, tick—like a countdown.Amanda stops breathing for a second.She’s never seen Riley like this before. Not the man with all the answers, all the power. This one is messy. Exposed. Human.“I never forget,” he says, softer now. “When I was eleven, at that party at the manor—I saw you first. You were by the fountain. Blue dress. Alone. Like a painting someone forgot to hang.”Amanda blinks. Her heart trips over itself.“The debate competition, you were the leader,” he says, wiping his face with a shaky hand. “The light from the stained glass windows landed right on you. I was standing in the back, just watching.”His voice turns quiet. Almost fragile. “Looking back... I think that was the moment. I j
