Divorcing my billionaire husband, his best friend wants me Chapter 137
JOANNA. The moment I heard those words , my heart clenched. Now I know what Dad was protecting from. He didn't want to watch me feel guilty for the rest of my life. He watched mom go through the same predicament. “I don’t want you to carry that guilt for the rest of your life, Joanna,” he said, his voice soft but firm. “I watched your mother go through that… and I know what it does to a woman. I know what it does to a marriage.”I didn’t even realize I was crying until the wet warmth slid down my cheek. I wiped it quickly, hoping he wouldn’t notice — but he did. Of course he did. Dad was right. No matter how I wanted to escape reality with the excuse of loving each other so much. This was reality, no man would want that. And suddenly, I understood.It wasn’t just about Luther.It wasn’t about Camellia, or the past, or scandal. It was about him… and the woman he had loved. The silent battle my mother must have fought every day, carrying the weight of not being able to give him more

JOANNA. It has been a long ride. I decided to come back to New York out of nowhere. I decided to be strong and brave for our love. I initially knew I was being selfish when he talked about going down to New York together and I had nothing to say..I was just overwhelmed by all that had been happening. I was just scared to even try. I enjoyed the moment but I was scared. Maybe what if we weren't meant to be, that was why we passed through this struggle and the truth is, Dad just wanted me to focus on the company in LA. He would be very surprised that I came to New York.. The moment Luther left the mansion, the house felt empty. I heaved a sigh..I had made up my mind to go see Dad first and talk to him. It is my happiness we are talking about here and I know a lot has happened but I won't let him dictate my life for me..I showered and had the breakfast Diana prepared. After that I asked Luther’s driver to take me to the Mansion..“JOANNA?” Dad adjusted his glasses the moment he saw

Luther’s POVLast night felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.Her skin, soft against mine. The way her laughter filled the silence. The warmth of her tucked into my chest, like she belonged nowhere else. It was morning and I had been awake for a while, but I didn’t move. I didn’t want to. She was lying next to me, bare beneath the sheets, her breath even, her lips slightly parted in sleep.I watched her like she was a rare piece of art I didn’t want to blink away from. She was so beautiful..And then… her eyelids fluttered. Slowly, she opened her eyes and met mine.A soft, sleepy smile touched her lips. God, that smile.“Good morning,” she murmured.I leaned in and kissed her gently, letting my lips linger on hers.“Morning, sleeping princess.”She laughed, a quiet, husky sound. I could’ve stayed right there forever.But then I glanced at the clock on the nightstand and let out a sigh.“Shit,” I muttered, running a hand over my face. “I need to be in the office. I’ve got a

Luther’s POVAs we got upstairs, I dropped her bags by the wall, but Joanna didn’t even look at them. She was already walking around like she was soaking it all in again. I let out a heavy breath and smiled. I still didn't think this would be rea but it is.. Now I don't want to be apart from her again. I came up behind her slowly, wrapping my arms around her waist and resting my chin on her shoulder. She didn’t flinch. She leaned right back into me.“It still feels like you,” she whispered.“It always will,” I replied.We stood there for a while, swaying a little to the silence, until she turned in my arms and looked up at me. Her hands pressed lightly against my chest, like she wanted to feel my heartbeat. Like she needed it to be real.“I was scared,” she said.“Of what?” I asked, brushing some hair from her face.“That this… that we’d never come back here. That I’d never feel this again. I spent days thinking about this In LA.. some days I was just super restless” I kissed her

After today's work, I decided to drive home. I barely remembered the drive home. My head was still swirling with the day’s work, Joanna, and everything her father had said. The moment I pulled into the driveway, all I wanted was a cold shower, maybe whiskey, and silence. I wasn't sure I had the appetite for dinner. I pushed open the door to the mansion. But then, I froze.Right there, in the middle of my living room, was a figure. Familiar. Sitting cross-legged on the couch like she owned the place."What the—" I rubbed my eyes, actually rubbed them, thinking maybe I was hallucinating."Joanna?"She stood up, laughing softly as she stretched her arms toward me. "You're not dreaming," she said, grinning. "It's really me."I blinked, slowly stepping forward. My gaze dropped to the two suitcases parked beside her like tiny soldiers standing at ease."Wait, what’s going on? You… you came to New York?"She walked up to me and without hesitation, wrapped her arms around my waist. Her ch

LUTHER. The engine hummed beneath me, steady and soft. The city passed in blurred streaks through the window, but my head wasn't really in New York.I kept replaying Mr. Wright’s words over and over. “She’s already going through enough with the fact that she can’t have babies. Or would you be willing to take somebody that can’t give you children?”I tightened my grip on the steering wheel.Was I being selfish? Wasn't I thinking enough about her? Or would she be living in guilt forever? I’d told myself I loved Joanna for who she was—not for what she could give me. And I meant it. Every word. But love in real life wasn’t just about words. It was about staying when guilt creeps in, when she looks at me and wonders if she’s enough. When I have to hold her through the nights she breaks down over something she can’t change.And what if,what if I hadn’t really thought all of that through? What if loving her meant watching her slowly punish herself for something that was never her fault?T
