Aaliyah’s POV

The moment I stepped through the opened doorway, I felt the air inside get cooler than outside.

The walls smelled of damp and dust, but what struck me most wasn’t the silence; it was the sound that grew in my head. Children’s voices.

Their laughter echoed around me. Tiny feet pattered across the floorboards. I froze, swallowing hard as I blinked against the shadows. The building was empty, I knew it was, but I could hear them. Dozens of children running, playing, calling out each other’s names.

And then… I saw us.

Me and Aurora, smaller versions of ourselves, sitting in the far corner on a night when we had been denied food. My stomach twisted. The matron had punished us both because Aurora had caused trouble earlier in the day, and as her twin, I was guilty by association.

We sat there, starving. My hands were on my knees and silent tears rolled down my cheeks. But Aurora—oh, Aurora never stayed quiet. She had stood, fists balled, shouting for food until her voice cra

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 174

    Aaliyah’s POV I heard footsteps approach the door. Each one felt like it was crushing against my chest, heavier, louder, until my heart was no longer beating at a normal pace but pounding like a drum. My palms grew damp and I pressed them against the sides of my dress, trying to calm myself, but it was no use. I could hear my own breathing in my ears.The lock clicked, and then the door finally opened.His eyes met mine.I froze. Just like that, every word I had rehearsed in my head vanished. He stood there, taller than I remembered, his frame filling the doorway. His eyes darkened almost immediately when recognition hit—or maybe not recognition, just annoyance. His brows pulled together in a frown.“What are you doing here?” His voice was firm, guarded, the kind of tone meant to chase someone away.I forced a smile, though my lips trembled. “I came to apologize for earlier.”His gaze didn’t soften. If anything, it grew sharper, like he didn’t believe me for a second. But after a m

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 173

    Aaliyah’s POV I signed my name at the bottom of the lease papers, my hand barely shaking even though my heart was thumping in my chest. I slid the pen across the table and handed the document back to the man sitting across from me. He adjusted his glasses, looked down at the paper again, then back at me as if to make sure I truly knew what I was doing.“Young lady, you’re sure about this?” his voice was soft, almost hesitant.“Yes,” I nodded firmly, not once looking away. “I haven’t been more sure of anything in my life.”He studied me for a long moment, like he wanted to argue but couldn’t find the words. Finally, he nodded, signed his own part, then pushed a copy across the table to me. “The house is yours now. You can move in right away.”Relief and determination tangled inside me. “Thank you.”The guard from earlier showed up to escort me back. He carried a key in one hand, and gestured toward the house that was now mine. I followed silently. But my eyes weren’t on the house

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 172

    Aaliyah’s POVThose last words from Orrin felt like a blade pierced through my heart.That was it. That was the moment I finally understood. Nothing I said now would matter. Talking to him wasn’t going to bring his memories back, and Annabelle sure wasn’t going to confess just because I demanded it. I stood there, bleeding and trembling with my chest rising and falling so fast I thought I would choke.The pain in my elbow throbbed but it was quickly overshadowed by the pain in my chest. How was I supposed to fight for him when he looked at me like a stranger, when he called her his wife?The sound of heavy footsteps snapped me out of my thoughts. The estate guard who had followed me here in my car, barged in at last, probably because I had been taking too long. His eyes widened immediately as they fell on me, on the blood streaming down my arm. He froze, then shifted his gaze to Orrin and Annabelle, who stood several feet away from me as if I were some plague they couldn’t risk cat

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 171

    Aaliyah’s POVThe bottled water slipped from my hand the moment those words left his lips. It rolled across the tiled floor, finally stopping at the base of a pole.My heart felt like it stopped beating altogether.“What?” My voice trembled as the word escaped me.He slowly pulled his hand from mine, as though even my touch was something foreign, something unwanted. “I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’ll be on my way now.”I stared, blinking at him, unable to make sense of anything. My chest rose and fell quickly as though I’d just run miles. “What are you talking about? Orrin… what are you saying?” My throat tightened and I forced the words out. “You can’t say that to me. I haven’t slept a single night since the day you went missing. I’ve searched for you in every corner, every street. How can you stand there and tell me you don’t know me?”His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to reply, but the confusion in his eyes was enough to stab me deeper than any knife. Th

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 170

    Aaliyah’s POVThe sound of the gavel still echoed in my head long after I left the courtroom. Aurora’s words lingered even louder and more painful. My knuckles tightened around the steering wheel as I dropped into my car. I was so tired. Tired of chasing dead ends. Tired of holding back tears. Tired of walking into police stations only to hear the same words again and again: “No new updates.”I slipped the keys into the ignition, but instead of starting the car right away, I let my forehead rest on the wheel. My chest heaved with a sigh that carried weeks of exhaustion. When will this end? When will I finally hear his voice again, feel his arms around me?Slowly, my hand came up and rested on my stomach. My baby. Orrin’s baby. At least there was still one reason I had to keep going. There was still hope.I finally lifted my head, blinked back the tears threatening to spill, and started the car. I meant to head to the station, to ask for an update for what felt like the thousandth

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 169

    Aaliyah’s POVThe sound of my heels echoed against the pavement as I stepped out of my car, clutching my purse to my chest. The air smelled faintly of rain; gray clouds hung low above the courthouse, pressing the day into something colder than it should have been.Two weeks. Two long weeks since Aurora was arrested. Two long weeks since Orrin went missing.My lawyer stood by the courthouse steps, adjusting the lapels of his suit as if everything in his world was neat and in order. He spotted me and offered a polite nod. “Mrs. Hayes. You’re on time.”I gave him a stiff smile. “I didn’t have anywhere else to be.” My voice was rough, like it had been used too much for crying and not enough for living.I could tell from the way his eyes lingered on my face that he noticed how worn out I looked. I had tried my best that morning; layering heavy makeup to cover the dark circles under my eyes, pinning my hair back neatly, wearing a pressed black dress. But there are things makeup can’t h
