Divorcing my billionaire husband, his best friend wants me Chapter 145
LUTHER. The whiteness of the ceiling blurred into focus. My head throbbed gently, and my throat was dry like sandpaper. I blinked again, adjusting to the room's stillness — until I saw a figure seated nearby.Cathy.I sat up slightly, my heart skipping. My eyes scanned the room again.But Joanna wasn’t there.Panic crept in like a wave rising too fast.“Where is she?” I croaked. “Joanna… where’s Joanna?”Cathy stood up slowly and placed a hand on the chair. “She stepped out.”“Stepped out to where?” I asked, my voice sharper. “Did she leave?”“No, no. She didn’t,” Cathy said quickly. “She went to get something. She said she’d be back soon.”I exhaled shakily and leaned back, my hand on my chest.God.Cathy picked up a bottle of water and held it out to me. “I think you need this.”I stared at it for a second, still on edge. “I’m fine.”She gave me a gentle look. “Please. You passed out. You need to hydrate.”I sighed and took the bottle from her. Just as I raised it to my lips, the d

JOANNA. i was at the hospital, I sat on the cold bench outside the ward, hands trembling, knees bouncing restlessly. My heart hadn't stopped racing since the moment he collapsed.I didn’t even know how we got to the hospital. It was a blur of screaming, people rushing, an ambulance. He was sick..The doctor finally stepped out, removing his gloves as he approached me. “Miss Wright?”I stood instantly. “Yes. How is he? What happened to him?”“He’s stable now. He passed out from a combination of exhaustion and emotional stress. His vitals were all over the place — elevated blood pressure, severe fatigue. Has he been eating properly?”I hesitated. “I... I don’t think so.”The doctor gave a small nod. “Well, that adds up. It looks like he hasn’t had proper meals in days. That, combined with extreme mental strain... the body can only take so much before it shuts down.”“So… what now?” I asked, trying to steady the guilt choking my voice.“He just needs rest. Real rest. Proper food, hydrat

JOANNA It had been a week.Seven long, heavy days of hiding behind silence.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the luggage I had packed the night before.I glanced at my phone on the dresser. The screen was black, still. Quiet. For the first time in days.Luther hadn’t called in the past two days. Before that, his name had lit up my screen every few hours. Calls. Messages. Voice notes I never opened. He tried. He didn’t give up.But I had shut him out.Again.I sucked in a slow breath, my chest tightening as I ran my palm over the soft leather handle of the suitcase.In my mind, I told myself this was right. That I was protecting him. That what my father said made sense. That Luther deserved more. Deserved a full life. A family.A child.But the more I tried to convince myself, the emptier I felt.Was it really right to cut him off without a word? No goodbye. No closure. Just silence?It wasn’t the first time I’d done this. Shutting people out was second nature. It was easier th

LUTHER. The light was sharp. Too sharp.I squinted, groaned, and sat up slowly, my head pounding like someone had taken a hammer to my skull.Where the fuck am I?My eyes darted around the room, white curtains, a beige wall, unfamiliar decor. This wasn’t my bedroom. This wasn’t my mansion..This wasn’t anywhere I recognized.And then I heard the clink of a cup.I turned sharply, too sharply and felt a stab of pain in my temple. I hissed, grabbing my head.Standing a few feet away, in full work clothes and heels, was Cathy.Placing a steaming cup of coffee on a small table.“Good morning sir,” she said, like it was completely normal for me to be waking up… wherever here was.I blinked. “What the hell is going on? Where am I? What happened last night?”She turned to face me calmly. “You don’t remember?”“No,” I said slowly, eyes narrowing. “Why are you here? What is this place? Is this your house?”Cathy gave a small nod. “You were too drunk to get home. I couldn’t just let you drive, a

LUTHER. "Shit!" I slammed my palm against the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white. The sound of the horn blared once before I yanked my hand off, breathing hard. “What the fuck is happening?”The traffic lights blurred before my eyes. Or maybe it was the heat in my head, or the heartbreak twisting my chest like a fist.I grabbed my phone again, thumb trembling as I redialed her number.Ring.“Pick up, Jo... Please.”Ring.Nothing.Voicemail.I exhaled sharply, flinging the phone onto the passenger seat. Goddammit.I didn’t even know how I drove to the office. My body worked on autopilot while my mind spun in a storm of confusion, hurt, and fury.Nothing about today was normal. Everything seemed out of place. I hated the way things were going! One minute it's as if everything was going to be okay! The next minute, it's all gone..I killed the engine and just sat there for a second, staring at my reflection in the rearview mirror. Still gripping the wheel, I closed my eyes for a s

JOANNA. I stood hidden behind the corridor wall, my breath caught in my throat, listening to the sharp edge of Luther’s voice echo through the house. I was still in New York but I had to lie. After giving it so much thought, Dad was absolutely right.. This would only be a pain in the ass later on.. We were better off separated. I knew Luther was going to fight it.. I stayed back in New York because he might go to LA to find me. "What did you say to Joanna?"He was here.I should’ve left.But instead, I stood there, frozen. Listening. Quiet tears streamed down my cheeks, but I didn’t move. I didn’t want him to see me like this. I couldn’t afford to let him see me like this—conflicted, torn, hurting but this was for our own good, I tried to remind myself each time I wanted to come out and follow him home because I was losing it. "I told her the truth," my father’s voice answered, calm and hard as marble. "That you two cannot be together."I shut my eyes. My chest tightened.Luther do
