JOANNA.

My mind was racing, panic setting in as I stared at Cassie, her clothes stained with blood and a few drops on the floor.

Oh God, what have I done? I thought, my heart sinking. Did I really just push her that hard? What if...what if she loses the baby? The thought sent a shiver down my spine. I felt like I was in shock, my body trembling with fear. If she does, Asher would hate me forever,I wasn't ready for that. I didn't mean to push her that hard.. I feel so overwhelmed, tears lingering in my eyes.

I quickly tried to approach her, to apologize, to make sure she was okay, but she glared at me, her eyes flashing with anger. “Don't touch me!”she shouted, her voice shrill. I froze, unsure of what to do.

Cassie's face, twisted in anger and pain. What have I gotten myself into?

I panicked, trying to approach her for a second time., panic rising in my chest, she glared at me. "Don't touch me! I said get your filthy hands off me!" she yelled.

Just then, Asher walked in and my h

  • Divorcing my billionaire husband, his best friend wants me    Chapter 89

    JOANNA I was seated at my desk, focused on getting one or two things done when Gina knocked lightly and stepped in with a file.“Good day ma'am,” she said. “Got the final selections from the marketing department for the upcoming ad for our newly launched product. You'll need to approve them.”“Okay,” I said, reaching for the folder as she placed it on my desk.Gina stood still as I picked the file. It was about the cosmetics brand, luxe skin by wright group of companies..I focused on the file, flipping through the pages. My eyes skimmed over names, images, stats... and then stopped.Camilla Rivera? I blinked.Camilla?I looked again, my heart suddenly picking up speed. There was a headshot. Of course there was—a perfectly angled one too. She looked so polished, so poised, like she belonged on a damn billboard.I looked up slowly. “Gina… Camilla Rivera? ”“Yeah,” she nodded. “She applied for the modeling role weeks ago. The branding department did the shortlist, and the board pick

    LUTHER. I stared at the document but couldn’t bring myself to touch it.“No,” I said.“Yes.” She crossed her arms. “And before you start doing mental math, yes, I conceived before you left Spain. That night.”I took a step back, my heartbeat thunderous in my ears.“Camila… we were done. That night didn’t mean anything. You know that. It was a mistake after you blackmailed me emotionally” I defended.. This can't be happening.. I remembered everything that happened that night.. How she hurt herself and also gave me that scar if I didn't sleep with her. She was a crazy fellow..She cut me off, a bitter smile on her lips. “A mistake that created life.”I ran a hand down my face, trying to breathe.“I’m married now,” I said, almost like I was reminding myself. “To Joanna. I love her. I am happy. Please, Camila. Don’t twist things again. Don’t come in here trying to confuse me with old wounds and—”“I’m not here to confuse you,” she interrupted. “I came to tell you because you deserve to

    LUTHER. The numbers on the spreadsheet blurred for the third time in ten minutes. I leaned back in my chair, pinched the bridge of my nose, and let out a low breath.God,Joanna, I haven't been able to get her out of my mind. I knew she was going to be mine oneday, I just knew it..Her lips. Her siren eyes. The way her cheeks turned crimson when I teased her this morning at breakfast.I smirked to myself. I was getting to her and i loved every moment..She was trying so hard to act unaffected, but I could read her like a book. The little glances, the way her fingers fumbled with the cutlery, and the way she suddenly couldn’t look me in the eye. I'm really getting to her and damn, I loved it. There was a softness to Joanna that made me want to guard her..And last night? The first intimate night ever.. I tried to focus on the presentation slide in front of me, but then I caught myself smiling again like a damn teenager.You’re whipped, man, I thought.A sharp knock broke through my t

    JOANNA. I stood frozen for a moment, my fingers twitching slightly at my side as Camila rose to her feet.Her steps made it hard to forget the scene she'd caused just yesterday.She walked toward me slowly. I didn’t move. I didn’t speak. I just… watched her.What the hell is she doing here? And what the heck was she here? And then, to my complete surprise, she linked arms with me! “You’re Luther’s wife,” she said softly, a strange calm in her voice. “I’m not here for any harm. I just… I just wanted to apologize for how I acted the other day.”Her accent still curled around her words like silk, but her tone felt sincere. I kept staring at her, unsure whether to believe it.“I didn’t know you two were together,” she added, her voice dipping even lower. “I wouldn’t have kissed him like that if I did.”I swallowed and folded my arms, trying to keep my expression unreadable, even though my thoughts were swirling.. Did she really mean it? I stared at her, words escaping me for a minute.

    JOANNAI sat across from Luther at the dining table, my fingers lazily swirling the spoon in my cup, barely focused on breakfast. My cheeks ached slightly from how much I’d been smiling and I couldn’t help it. The past hours had been… everything. A whirlwind of emotions, tension, and release.Luther sat opposite me, hungrily digging into the food like he hadn’t just made me forget my name a few hours ago. I caught myself stealing glances at him between sips, wondering how someone could look that good while doing absolutely nothing.And oddly, the same work I was fussing about earlier, I suddenly had zero interest in attending. If I could, I’d stay right here all day, just watching him. Breathing in the comfort of this morning. Him.The moment his eyes met mine, I quickly looked away and forced myself to pretend I was concentrating on my food.But of course, Luther noticed. He let out a soft, knowing laugh.“There’s nothing wrong with staring at your husband, you know.”I felt my face

  • Divorcing my billionaire husband, his best friend wants me    Chapter 84

    JOANNA..My eyes fluttered open slowly, adjusting to the soft morning light that spilled lazily across the room. For a second, I didn’t move. I just stared at the ceiling, trying to remember why everything felt different.And then it hit me, last night.Oh my God.My heart stuttered. I shifted beneath the covers, opening them. Yep I was naked, completely bare. My cheeks flushed instantly as the vivid memories of the night rushed back, fast and unrelenting.Everything that happened made heat rise up to my cheeks.. So I did sleep like Luther? For some reasons, it felt like an illusion..I sat up slightly and looked around. Clothes scattered everywhere.My bra draped over the lamp. His shirt tossed on the floor. His belt halfway across the room.Jesus Christ.We really did it.And not because I was drunk. No. I remembered every second, every soft moan, every whispered word, every look that made my chest ache and my body melt. I let out a shaky breath and slowly turned my head.He was lyi

    JOANNA..Luther’s lips devoured mine like he had been waiting years for this moment and maybe, deep down, I had too.My hands gripped the front of his shirt, pulling him closer as his mouth moved with a hunger that made my knees weak. There was nothing soft about it.it was deep, searching, and consuming. His tongue brushed mine, and a small, desperate moan escaped my throat.Then I felt his hand trail down, slow and purposeful, until it cupped my breast through the fabric. The pressure of his palm made me gasp, and I arched toward him before I even realized I was doing it.“Luther…” I whispered, barely able to breathe.He pulled away suddenly, just enough to rest his forehead against mine. We were both panting, our breaths colliding in the space between us.“Jo,” he said, his voice thick with restraint, “I can’t stop.”And God, I didn’t want him to.I nodded, barely managing it, but it was enough.Without another word, he swept me into his arms effortlessly. My hands wrapped around h

    JOANNA. I couldn’t concentrate on work, no matter how hard I tried to focus on the spreadsheet in front of me, my mind kept drifting back to that moment. That kiss.That Camila, the audacity she had to kiss him after seeing a lady close to him. How did Luther date such a mannerless person? The way she had flung herself into Luther’s arms like she had every right to. The way her lips had crashed into his like it was something she would do a thousand times before and maybe she had. The thought made me insecure. Yeah, Luther had exes too. I mean look at me, I just got out of a toxic marriage with Asher. But I hated how it made me feel.I wasn’t supposed to care. At least, not this much.But I did.What if there were more Camilas? What if all of Luther’s exes suddenly crawled out of the past, declaring their undying love? What if they all wanted him back? What about me? Joanna? Didn't you keep saying you weren't ready? My inner voice reminded me and I let out a sigh. What if… Just wh

    JOANNA.Luther jerked back, pushing the woman off him in a swift, sharp motion.But she only laughed lightly, breathless from the kiss, her hands still grazing his chest as she looked up at him with a bright glint in her eyes.“Luther! Te he extrañado tanto! (I have missed you!)” she cried out, her voice thick with emotion.I froze where I stood, every limb locking in place as my heart slammed into my ribs.She knew his name. Who the heck was she and would she just start kissing him that way! And her language? Could it be Spanish? Luther’s jaw tightened. “Camila… ¿qué haces aquí?( What are you doing here?)” His voice was a mix of confusion and uncertainty. It is probably Spanish, my chest tightened, could it be a woman he had some kind of history with? Geez, he dated women? Why did I feel so sad at that.I stared at them—at her hand still on his shirt. Camila smiled wider now, switching to English but letting her accent slip through every syllable like silk. “I came looking for you
