HE PLANNED TO DIVORCE ME, SO I DUMPED HIM FIRST CHAPTER 16
Amelia sat behind her polished mahogany desk, her chin resting in her palm as she stared blankly at her laptop screen. The spreadsheets in front of her blurred into meaningless numbers. Her mind was trapped in a relentless loop. How do I even begin to check? She couldn't hire a private investigator without Adrian’s financial team noticing a weird withdrawal. She couldn't go through his phone without him catching her. The piece of black lace was sitting in her husband’s pocket, but without a name, a location, or an actual face, it was just a stupid clue. A quiet knock at her office door pulled her out of the spiral. "Amelia? Do you have a minute?" Amelia looked up, forcing a tight, polite smile onto her face as Victoria stepped into the room. Victoria looked as immaculate as ever, dressed in a sharp beige silk blouse and black pants, holding a leather folder against her chest. "Of course, Victoria. Come in," Amelia said, motioning to the plush armchair across from her desk. Victo

Adrian stood in the center of the quiet walk-in closet, a custom linen shirt hanging loosely from his hand.He stared at the empty bedroom door, his brow furrowing. Something felt off.Even though it wasn’t anything serious because Amelia had smiled, spoken in her usual soft, accommodating tone, and explained she had an early meeting. But the way her expression felt unreadable when Adrian spoke to her and the way she had pulled back when he leaned in for a kiss...was so unlike Amelia.She had stepped away from his touch and brushed a speck of dust off his collar instead. For all the years they’ve been together, Amelia practically lived for his morning affection, she loved throwing herself into his arms before he left for work and usually waited for him so they drive to work together. Today, there was an invisible, icy wall between them, subtle enough that anyone else would have missed it, but sharp enough to make the back of Adrian’s neck prickle.Is she suspecting something?He tosse

Amelia couldn't move. She couldn't even breathe. Her fingers trembled so violently that the delicate strip of black lace slipped from her grip, fluttering onto the cold marble counter of the laundry room. What the hell is this? The question echoed inside her head, over and over, deafening and sharp. She stared at the sheer, scented lace lying on the floor. A lady’s panty. In her husband’s trousers pocket. A crazy, bitter bubble of laughter rose in her throat, but she choked it down. What was Adrian doing with another woman's underwear in his pocket? Was he carrying it around like some twisted souvenir? Was he so obsessed with whoever she was that he couldn't even leave her behind when he came home to his wife? God. Oh, my God. A violent urge surged through her—a hot, blinding wave of fury. She wanted to grab the fabric, march upstairs to the master bathroom, kick the glass door open, and hurl it directly into Adrian’s face. She wanted to scream at him until her vocal cords shredd

Amelia’s eyes fluttered open as the cold morning light filtered through the sheer bedroom curtains. She sat up quickly, her heart giving a sudden, anxious thud. She looked over at the other side of the vast king-sized bed. The white sheets were smooth, pristine, and completely untouched. The heavy duvet lay tucked neatly where she had left it the night before. She had fallen asleep waiting for him. "Adrian?" she called out softly, her voice thick with sleep. Silence answered her. She swung her legs out of bed, her bare feet hitting the cool hardwood floor. She walked over to the adjoining master bathroom, pushing the frosted glass door open. "Adrian? Are you in here?" The bathroom was empty. The marble counters were dry, the towels neatly folded on their racks. A knot of anxiety tightened in her stomach. She threw on a silk robe and hurried out of the bedroom, her footsteps echoing down the grand staircase into the quiet ground floor. She checked the living room, the private stu

The heavy oak door to Adrian’s private office clicked shut, the moment the lock engaged, the heavy, weary expression Adrian had been wearing all afternoon vanished instantly. He unbuttoned his collar, tossed his suit jacket onto the leather sofa, and let out a smooth, relaxed breath.A quiet clink of glass hitting glass echoed through the room.Victoria stepped out from behind the small executive bar, holding two glasses of 1935 scotch. Her professional poise was completely gone, replaced by a sultry smirk. She walked over, her heels making a slow, deliberate sound against the rug, and handed him a glass."To surviving another thrilling performance, Mr. CEO," Victoria purred, raising her glass in a light toast.Adrian took the glass, his fingers sliding against hers before pulling her by the waist onto his laps. He pressed a long, deep kiss to her lips, tasting the expensive wine she’d just drank. Victoria leaned into him without a second of hesitation, wrapping her arms around his ne

The bedroom was silent, lit only by the pale moonlight filtering through the sheer curtains. Amelia sat on the edge of the large, empty bed, staring down at her hands resting in her lap.Her knuckles were still raw and red where she had gripped the edge of the kitchen counter. Gloria and Claire’s words kept repeating in her mind like a cruel loop: Penniless orphan. Burden. You bring nothing to his life.She wrapped her arms tight around her waist, trying to stop the quiet trembling in her shoulders. Her chest felt squeezed, a heavy, suffocating weight pressing down on her lungs. In times like this, when the cruelty of the Cross family cut too deep, she would usually pull out her phone and call Natalie. Natalie would listen, fume on her behalf, and remind her of who she truly was.A fresh wave of sting hit her heart.Natalie isn't there anymore.She had driven her away. She had stood in that cold parking garage and severed ties with the only real connection she had outside of this marr
