His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire 74: Christopher’s invitation
SOPHIAI’d lost interest in working, but I forced myself to keep going. My pencil moved over the sketchbook, a new design forming on the page.A groan shot out of my lips when the pencil diverted to the left, ruining the design. I yanked the page off the book, bunched it, and tossed it to the floor, where a small pile had already formed. I could take a break, but working was the only way to keep myself from overthinking everything.Adrian and I still hadn’t spoken. But I did whatever was needed to keep me out of his way. And so far, he’d stayed away.A small sigh slid past my lips. I pushed those thoughts aside and tried to focus on the sketchbook, but my mind drifted to something else. Christopher's invitation.
His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire 73: Absolutely nothing
ADRIANThe loophole didn’t exist. No matter how hard I looked or how many pages I flipped through, I couldn't find what I was searching for. I'd been at it for hours, days even, but no matter what, the answer was the same. I was losing it.I stared at the papers spread across my desk, as if they might rearrange themselves into something tangible, or the proper clause would reveal itself, but nothing happened.I had cross-referenced agreements, traced signatures, and dissected language until the words blurred into one long nonsense. Yet I was left with nothing. Absolutely nothing.Every path circled back to the same dead end, and every technicality I thought I’d found collapsed under scrutiny.Christopher’s takeover wa
His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire 72: Three days
SOPHIAIt had been three days since the fight with Adrian. Three days since Adrian and I stood in the same room. Three days since the argument that hadn’t ended in more silence.Ollie had resumed at his new school. With the money Glamour galore paid me, I decided to take back control of one aspect of my life. Marc wouldn’t be able to get Ollie into his new school.The only thing left was getting a place for Ollie and me. The registration cost more than I expected. Marc had always handled the fees, so I didn’t realize it could be that high for a kid of Ollie’s age. I would have gone back to Floral because her house was always open to me, but I was tired of relying on others.Once I left here, it was straight to my own apartment. I stood in front of the
His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire 71: Go inside
ADRIANThe drive back home was tense. Alex must have noticed my mood because he kept to himself. I replayed the whole of today’s encounter in my head, and my heart skipped when I remembered Dahlia.She’d been frowning when she dropped the lunch box on my table. I didn’t care what my assistant thought about me as long as she was competent, but my mind strayed.Was Sophia back at home?With a slight shake of my head, I reclined against the chair and tried to nap before we reached home. But no sooner had I closed my eyes that the car rolled to a stop.“We’re here, sir,” Alex called, dragging me back to reality.My eyes fluttered open, and I looke
His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire 70: Cut it
ADRIANI hadn’t been the same since Delilah dropped the lunch pack on my desk. Maybe I should have spared a minute to see Sophia. But what would I have told her?The screen of my new monitor blinked. I exhaled and focused on it. It was Royalé Couture. They’d sold out the first batch of designs and were interested in new designs.Sophia would be the perfect person for the job. They were willing to work with her now, which was laughable given how quickly they were to dispose of her until I stepped in.I emailed them to let them know Sophia would be taking over fully. When they requested a meeting with the two of us, I politely declined, stating work as an excuse.But as soon as they emailed with a dat
His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire 69: He was gone
SOPHIAI woke up reaching for warmth, but my hand slid across cool sheets instead. I stayed there, my eyes still closed, and my breathing shallow, all the while waiting for the familiar weight of him beside me.Waiting for an arm to tighten around my waist, for a kiss to the forehead or to my temple. I was waiting for something—anything that would tell me my deepest fear hadn’t manifested.But nothing happened. I opened my eyes, and reality hit too soon. Adrian’s side of the bed was untouched.The pillows on his side were undisturbed. There was no indentation, no lingering heat, just an absence that went straight to my heart. Maybe he woke up early again today. Most times, he was always up before me.I lis
