Husband Abandoned Me, I Married Billionaire Chapter 10
"Chloe — move!"At the last possible second Rowan slammed into us and pulled me against his chest.There was the ugly sound of fabric tearing.I looked up, terrified, and saw a long slash open along Rowan's left arm. Blood surged out."Rowan!" My voice cracked.Security finally got themselves together and pinned Vivian down, still kicking."Let go of me! I'll kill that bitch!" She was screaming like she'd come undone.Rowan was cupping his bloody arm, white as paper, and still trying to reassure me."Chloe. It's okay. I'm okay. Don't be scared."Watching him bleed out in front of me, for me — tears came down before I could stop them."You idiot! Why would you do that!" I yelled at him, crying.Rowan pulled a faint smile out of somewhere."I couldn't just stand there and watch you get hurt. Chloe. Taking a knife for you — I'd do that gladly."The place was in chaos. Someone called the police. Someone called an ambulance.Officers arrived and took Vivian away.I rode with Rowan to the ho

"Congratulations, Ms. Whitmore. Welcome back to your life."Rowan handed me the roses, smiling hard enough that it hurt to look at.I took the bouquet and breathed in the scent. My mood lifted."Thanks. Though, Mr. Ellsworth, this is a little flashy, don't you think?"Rowan arched a brow."Flashy? I don't think it's flashy enough. I want the whole world to know you're a single woman today."I laughed in spite of myself and climbed into the passenger seat."Enough. Let's go back to the gallery. I have a mountain of things waiting."Rowan slid behind the wheel and started the engine."Chloe. There's a charity gala tonight. A lot of heavyweights from the business world will be there. I had an invitation held for you. Show your face. It'll help the gallery."That surprised me."A charity gala? I run a small gallery. Would I even fit?"Rowan turned his head and looked at me, serious."What wouldn't fit? You're the woman Rowan Ellsworth chose. Who's going to look down on you?"Heat crawled u

I stood there blinking at him."You said — seven?"Rowan nodded. He took my hand and led me to the bench beside the library."The first day you moved into the dorms, I noticed you.""You were in a white sundress. You were carrying a huge portfolio. You stood out in the crowd.""For the next three years I'd quietly swing by the art studios just to watch you paint. I wanted to tell you. But every time I saw you with a brush in your hand I couldn't make myself interrupt.""Until your junior year — my family pushed me to go abroad for my master's. I was going to confess to you before I left. And then I saw you with Preston."Rowan's voice had gone rough."I thought he'd make you happy. So I stepped back.""But I kept up with you from a distance. I watched you give up your own dreams for him. I watched the light go out of you, a little at a time.""And when I heard he'd trashed your show over another woman, I couldn't do it anymore.""So I set up that meeting. I faked the injury. I lived in

Preston didn't remember how he got out of that office.His head was full of Vivian's smug little laugh.He'd spent all this time believing she was fragile, helpless, someone who needed him to protect her.It had never occurred to him that he'd been a marionette in her hands.For a woman whose mouth was full of lies, he'd wrecked his wife's life's work. Gutted her.A massive, cold weight of regret twisted through his chest like a snake.He tried to call me, over and over. My number was blocked.He drove like a maniac back to the apartment. He pushed open the door to a dark, empty apartment."Chloe! Chloe!"He tore through the rooms like a man losing his mind. He couldn't even find a shirt of mine.I had moved out.The morning after I kicked Rowan out, I'd packed my things and rented a studio apartment near the gallery.I was done sharing oxygen with Preston.Preston couldn't find me, so he came to find me at the gallery."Chloe, I know I was wrong! I know everything!"He stormed into my

I didn't go chase Preston down to argue it out.I had him thrown out of the gallery, and then I sat alone in my office for a long time.Because if I was being honest with myself, I'd suspected something for a while.Rowan's right hand might have been wrapped up in bandages, but the way he moved when he wasn't thinking about it didn't look like someone with severed nerves.I'd just refused to dig into it.Because in that cold apartment he'd been the only warmth I had left.That night, Rowan had dinner waiting when I got home."How was work today?" He came over smiling.I looked at his perfect, flawless face and felt, suddenly, very tired."Rowan. Is your hand actually damaged."I put it plainly.The smile stalled on his face, then reset."Chloe. What made you ask something like that?"I pulled out my phone and played the video Preston had sent me."Explain that."He watched the clip. He didn't panic. He didn't defend himself. He just watched me."Chloe. If I told you I only did this bec

I took a deep breath, unable to hold back any longer, and lifted my buttocks to meet his.I groaned, "Fuck me, Rowan."His eyes darkened instantly, and he thrust his hips forward, his enormous penis penetrating me.I couldn't help but scream. I don't remember how many times I orgasmed; it lasted from afternoon until dawn.The next day, I drove Rowan to the ER to have his left hand cleaned up.On the way back, my gallery partner Zach called."Chloe. We took a beating with the show. Cash flow's drying up.""Preston says if you'll back down, apologize, and get rid of the Ellsworth guy, he'll keep the funding in place."My hands tightened on the wheel. I laughed, short and sharp."Zach. You tell Preston this. I'd sooner panhandle on the street than take one cent from him.""His share of the gallery — I'll figure something out. I'll buy him out. He can take his money and get out of my life."I hung up and took a long breath to push the anger down.Rowan was watching me from the passenger se

For the next several days, Preston didn't come home.I heard from the office that he'd moved Vivian into another condo in his name and was taking care of her personally.That was fine by me. I had the peace and quiet to focus on damage control at the gallery and to keep an eye on Rowan.Rowan's "pos

The second he saw Vivian, Preston's anger flipped into tender concern.He rushed over and drew her into the room."Vivian — what are you doing up here? It's windy outside. I told you to wait in the car."Vivian bit her bottom lip. Fat tears rolled down her cheeks, one after another."I was afraid —

By the time we made it up to the downtown penthouse Preston and I shared, Rowan was shivering hard enough that his teeth were clicking.We'd bought the place together. Most of the down payment, though, had come from me.I found an oversized men's bathrobe and handed it to him."Go take a hot shower.

I stood in the wreckage of my gallery, staring at the broken glass on the floor and the slashed canvases.This was supposed to be the debut of the solo show I'd spent three years preparing.A room that should have been full of flowers and applause looked like a dump.Half an hour ago, my husband Pre
