Lisa’s POV

“Yes. I have everything under control Mr. Chadwick. Good. Does this mean you're renewing your contract? Glad to have you back then. Thank you.”

I hung the phone and I proceeded to dial my next retreating client.

Work had become my lifeline, the only thing keeping me from spiraling over Aaliyah’s slammed door, Kaito’s lies, and the mess I’d made.

From this morning till now, emails buzzed in and out from I and my assistant, detailing the wreckage at my event planning firm—Vespera’s campaign was behind, the gala caterer had bailed, and clients were livid.

I buried myself in work, calling vendors, soothing clients, and prepping for tonight’s Vespera launch event at a sleek Mayfair venue.

It was a high-stakes night—fashion execs, influencers, press—and I couldn’t afford to screw it up, not after my week-long escape to Lisbon.

At the office, my assistant greeted me with a coffee and a stack of contracts but there was worry in her eyes.

“Lisa, thank God you’re back,” she said,

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 150

    Aaliyah’s POVThe song playing now was soft, some slow R&B track with a beat that pulsed like a heartbeat, filling the room with this intimate vibe that made everything feel even more charged. Orrin’s eyes met mine, his ruffled dirty blonde hair now falling over his forehead, as his gaze held me captive.And that naughty smile of his only made the heat between my legs burn hotter. He didn’t pull away; if anything, he looked even more turned on, like my music had flipped a switch in him.“You were,” he whispered, answering my question with his voice low and teasing. His breath was still warm against my skin. “And I love it. Shows me how much you want this.” His fingers stayed where they were, caressing my vagina lips and it had me clenching again, my body begging for more. I bit my lip, trying to hold back another sound, but it was useless; a soft whimper escaped, and he chuckled, the vibration of it sending fresh sparks through me.“Orrin,” I breathed, my hands still in his hair,

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 149

    Aaliyah’s POV At first I was shocked at what came out of my mouth. The words hung there, bold, like they’d jumped out without my permission. My cheeks burned hotter than the wine in my belly, and I blinked at him, my vision still a little swimmy from the alcohol. But it was true, every bit of it. The wetness between my thighs was real, warm and insistent, like my body had decided it wanted pleasure all on its own. My heart wouldn’t stop pounding, louder and harder, like it was trying to break free from my chest. And down there, my vagina clenched tight, aching with a hunger that felt like it had been starving for ages. That kiss on my forehead, so simple and sweet, had awakened it. The drunkenness made me bolder and looser, but the craving was mine. Orrin looked at me surprised, his grey eyes widening just a bit, but I could tell my words landed and sunk in. The longing I’d always caught in his gaze for a while now, had intensified. His lips curved into a smug smirk,

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 148

    Aaliyah’s POVThe second Bridget opened her mouth and started talking while I was still hidden, a voice inside me told me to do something. I didn’t even know why. Maybe it was instinct. Maybe it was because of all the things I’d lost and was going through right now and also because I really hated her.My hand went to my purse without me even thinking, pulling out my phone and hitting record.Orrin had told me to hide and listen. But listening didn’t feel like it would be enough. Now, standing in front of Bridget with her face twisted in shock, I was glad I listened to that inner voice. My fingers slid the phone back into my pocket. My chest was still heaving, but my eyes locked on hers.“It’s over.”Two words. They were all I needed.Her jaw clenched. Anger was etched to her face, but there was nothing left for her to fight with. She snatched her bag from the chair, her nails digging into the straps, and threw Orrin one last poisonous glare before storming toward the door.“Bette

    Orrin’s POVI leaned back in my chair, watching Bridget carefully across the small table that had a bottle of wine and glass cups on them.I had just listened to her spill just enough to make Aaliyah finally stop seeing me as the villain. But I wasn’t going to stop there. I needed it all, every single piece of her confession.I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table. “I’m glad you still remember the truth,” my voice stayed calm though inside me, every nerve was tight. “Even though you actually tried to use the fake story against me despite knowing the truth.”Her face stiffened and she let out a small sigh, almost exasperated. “Why are you bringing that up now, Orrin? It’s not like I was serious. I only wanted you to come back to me.”I didn’t blink. “And since that didn’t work, you drugged me?”The bluntness in my tone must’ve startled her, because she frowned, shifting uncomfortably on her seat. Her fingers tapped lightly on the wine glass in front of her, her eyes no

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 146

    Orrin’s POVI watched the detective walk away with Henry’s phone clutched in his hand as though it were a treasure chest. The man gave one final nod before slipping into his car, promising Aaliyah that he would work as fast as possible. His engine came to life and disappeared into the distance, leaving behind a silence that pressed heavily on us.Aaliyah turned without a word, her black dress swaying softly against the night breeze, and walked toward her car. She pulled the door open, clearly ready to leave.I stepped forward. “Wait.”She froze, turned back, her brows lifting. “If you’re about to tell me you’ll drive me home again like a chauffeur, don’t bother. I wasn't going to stop you from doing that anyways.”The distance in her tone struck something inside me, but I swallowed it back and shook my head. “That’s not why I stopped you.”She exhaled, tired already, her arms crossing. “I thought you promised me space after the funeral?”A corner of my mouth curved upward though t

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 145

    Aaliyah’s POV I stared at my reflection in the mirror, and for a moment, I almost didn’t recognize the woman looking back at me.My eyes were swollen, guarded with dark circles that no amount of water or makeup could hide. My skin looked pale, tired, and drawn, like I hadn’t rested in weeks. Maybe I hadn’t. Sleep had stopped visiting me since that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Henry falling. I saw Aurora’s face twisted with hatred before she let go. I saw fire swallowing everything in our house and still remember how my heart almost burst out of my chest as I thought about Elias still sleeping while the fire came closer.My chest rose and fell shakily. I pressed my hand against the cool edge of a table, trying to steady myself.A soft creak came from the door, and when I turned, Mary stepped in. She was pushing Elias in his baby stroller. His tiny legs kicked happily, his chubby hands waving around as if the world hadn’t just almost shattered days ago.“Breakfast is read
