“I get it, you’re the big boss,” Amanda teased once, tugging on the lapel of his blazer. “But would it kill you to wear something a little softer? You’d look less… intimidating.”

Riley sits on the floor and watches at the wardrobe for a moment.

At first, she just made a few suggestions—adding lighter colors or experimenting with different cuts. 

Then, over time, she began handling it all, whether it was at the tailor’s shop or with stylists coming to their home.

She had an eye for it.

Amanda would lay out suits for various occasions: sharp, tailored ones for formal dinners, lighter and more relaxed styles for client lunches, even something playful for casual outings—though he rarely indulged her on that last one.

People noticed.

Strangers at events, colleagues in meetings—they’d compliment him on his style. 

“Looking sharp as always, Riley!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm not totally opposed to a reconciliation between them after she's had a few years to truly live on her own terms, date a few different people and lean heavy into her passions. Especially if he keeps going to therapy. There is hope for this one lol.

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter107

    Back at the hotel, Amanda finishes the listing process. She closes her incense shop online too—just for now. She is trying to find a way to run it in another country.The days are full. When she’s not working on documents, she sketches. She watches online classes with her tea in hand, jotting down notes, pausing often to think. Watercolor, character design, composition—she takes her time with each topic.She’ll live in Italy for a long time. Amanda is quite excited about it. And Alessio. I can ask for some advice from Alessio, she thinks.One afternoon, she texts Alessio. “Hey, I got a new job. I’m moving to Milan soon.”His reply comes almost instantly. “WHAT! Amanda!! I’m so proud of you. Seriously. Let me know the exact day—you better let me pick you up from the airport. Promise?”Amanda laughs under her breath.

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter106

    Amanda leans back in her chair, eyes half-closed. A small smile touches her lips—not happy, but thoughtful. No matter what he says, no matter if he ever really loved her or not… Riley never once tried to cheap out. Not with money.Amanda sets the pen down and pushes the thick folder aside. The room is quiet again, just the soft hum of the air conditioner. Outside the windows, the city glows golden, lights blinking slowly in the warm dusk. She doesn’t reach for her phone. Doesn’t turn on the TV. She just sits there, one leg folded under her, fingers brushing lightly against the edge of the table.So even though Riley wasn’t a good husband, Amanda doesn’t really hate him. Not deeply. Money’s one reason—he never held back when it came to that. Another reason is the things she learned from him. In work. In how to deal with people. How to stand her ground without yelling. How to pick your battles.&

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter105

    Amanda slides her laptop shut and leans back on the wide hotel bed, the sheets crisp and cool against her skin. The room is silent except for the low hum of central air. Soft recessed lights glow above her, set into a ceiling carved with subtle molding. Thick curtains hang over the floor-to-ceiling windows, blocking the Milan skyline outside. A velvet armchair sits by the window. A glass decanter of water waits on the marble-topped bar cart. Everything smells faintly of white tea and fresh linen. She doesn’t move. Just stares at the untouched fruit bowl on the glossy table beside her. She doesn’t move. Just stares at the water ring left by her tea mug on the bedside table.Her phone buzzes. A message from Celia Liu. “Hey! Good news. Just got word from a contact. One of the top studios here in Milan saw your résumé and they’re interested. They want to interview you.”Amanda stares at the screen for

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter104

    A waterlogged sponge seems lodged in Riley’s chest, each breath squeezing out sour dampness. He grabs his phone from the side table. His thumbs hover over the screen. Stilllight. He types it in.The first result pops up fast. Minimalist website. Earthy colors. Thin serif font. He taps the link.There it is. Amanda’s world. Her story. Her scents. Her designs. She even wrote the product descriptions. He can tell. The rhythm in the lines. The quiet way she turns a sentence. He sees her in every page. He scrolls. Then scrolls slower.No perfume. There’re only incense sticks. Incense sticks. And incense sticks.So Shawn’s perfume? Sold out? Or… customized?And now all Riley can picture is Amanda bottling that scent, boxing it carefully—and Shawn wearing it. Day after day. Without ever knowing it tied him to her.He wipes

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter103

    Riley leans back, hands on his knees, breathing shallow. His mouth opens. Then closes. He doesn’t know what to say. When it comes down to it, this is his fault. Shawn’s right, Amanda couldn’t have hidden it from him even if she tried. No—he was the one who refused to listen. And now, he has no defense left. He doesn’t press Shawn about how he knows—most likely, Lily has already told him long ago.Rex finally speaks. “Damn. You really didn’t know?”Riley shakes his head. Slowly. “No. I didn’t.” He feels stupid. Worse than stupid.Amanda started a business. A brand. Built something from scratch. And he missed all of it. Not because she hid it—but because he didn’t bother to look. He thought he was watching her slip away. But maybe he’d just stopped paying attention a long time ago.He clears his throat. “Do

  • Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him   Chapter102

    Riley turns his glass slowly in his hand. And yeah. Maybe that’s why Rex liked Amanda too. That quiet way she carried herself. The calm. The ease. She didn’t need the room to love her. She didn’t chase approval. She had it all built in—like her kindness and confidence grew naturally, without being forced. A good home. Loving parents. The kind of emotional foundation none of them had.Amanda never had to pretend. But they did. Riley and Rex both.They wore their calm like a mask. Showed up in boardrooms with sharp eyes and clean suits. But underneath—just noise. People like them are always drawn to someone like Amanda. Because she is a icon who can empower others, especially people like Riley and Rex.Riley lifts his glass again but doesn’t drink this time. “No kidding. You really sticking around?” he asks.Rex raises both hands. “Is this my annual
