Veronica’s POV.

Claude froze.

Not dramatically, not like someone caught in a lie. No.

It was worse than that.

His smile slipped slowly, like it had been peeled off his face instead of removed.

His shoulders stiffened, his hands tightened around the wooden spoon he'd been stirring with.

For a moment, the only sound in the kitchen was the bubbling pot and my own breathing.

Slow and expecting.

“You… what?” He asked again, carefully this time.

“I said,” I repeated, softer now because something in

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 94

    Four's POV.“I feel no attraction for her,” “I feel nothing for her.”“She's got enough to worry about, I'm not about to insert myself in one of those situations.”Words. Words. Words. They crowded my thoughts, messed with the actual things that worked me up. Words!I reached for the new shipment in the back of my car. One of the men from the warehouse approached with a bigger box. “Will this fit?” He questioned, his voice echoed through the underground parking lot where we always met.I assessed the bag, “No. Bring something bigger.”l“Okay, boss.” He turned swiftly, jogging the same way he came. I heard the entrance door widen and soon after, footsteps approached, he was headed my way again, this time with a huge box.“Think this one will?”“It should. Hurry up, bring it so we can move this before anyone comes here.”He nodded, his frame bouncing off the concrete slab as he rushed over. He lowered the box to the floor while I leaned into the back of my car, carefully lifting the

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 93

    Veronica’s POV. After Four put me in my place, I remained there. Rigid in my new round throne with the walls of my heart locked tight, the key thrown out so no one could ever get a hold of it.It didn't help that the girl— Mia, was now assigned to me. Assigned to taking care of me until I was back on my feet completely. She visited frequently even when I asked her not to. She wouldn't listen, just like her love for Four, she didn't take no for an answer.“Mr Four asked me to take care of you and that is what I plan to do.”“I understand you like him so much that you do everything you can to please him but I don't like you being here, please stop.” I pleaded, fingers knotted as she yanked strands of my wet hair with a brush, all in the name of brushing.I groaned severely, she showed no mercy, all she said was: “Don't worry, you'll be fine. Just keep your head steady, please, we're almost done.”By her last yank, I saw enough hair to form a ball that fell to the floor. “Is that my hai

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 92

    Jason's POV. “What is this?” I seized the piece of paper in my hand, the words written on it not more than a hundred, yet the hairs at the back of my neck. Quickly, I flung it away.Rebecca rushed to retrieve it, curiosity burned in her eyes to see what frightened me so much, she saw my demure shift from the calm composed me to something violent.In under a second.I stood from the chair I was seated on. My movement was swift, and the guard who'd brought me the information almost didn't see me. I was by his side in a second, gripping his collar tight.His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, his face red, he trembled under my grip, shivering for his life.“How dare you bring me so much rubbish?” I growled loudly.He shrank next to me, whimpering, “Sir, I'm just a common guard. I was asked to bring this to you, I have no part in this.”He was right but that didn't exempt him from the foolishness of his master, the very man who'd promised me he had something good on Four and could

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 91

    Veronica’s POV. Silence detonated between us and in that silence, Four changed. It was subtle, anyone else might have missed it. But I had spent enough time around him now to recognise the shift: the internal door closing, the walls sliding back into place, the distance he wore like armour settling over him again.And I knew instantly what I had done. I had crossed something. My journey has crossed it for me.Something in him hardened, not explosively, not cruelly but with that terrifying, absolute control that meant there would be no arguing with whatever came next.When he spoke, his voice was low and even. “You do not get jealous.”The words landed softly. They still cut. Heat rushed to my face. “I—”He lifted a hand once, not touching me, just stopping the sentence before it formed. “No.” He said quietly.The denial wasn't loud. It didn't need to be. It carried finality in a way that made my throat tighten.I stared at him, pulse loud in my ears. “I didn't say I had a right to be

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 90

    Veronica’s POV. Four, I thought as the silence returned. That man would not be the death of me. I stayed in the chair long after Mia’s footsteps faded down the hallway. The suite felt too large again, the quiet stretching in uncomfortable layers around me. The faint hum of the city filtered through the glass, distant traffic and muted horns, life moving on outside while something inside me refused to settle.I stared at the door she had just closed behind her. Together. The word kept echoing unwanted and sharp.We were together but only briefly. My throat tightened. I leaned back slowly, pressing my head against the chair, eyes fixed on the ceiling. The chandelier above fractured light into soft gold shards that trembled across the plaster and for a moment I focused on them just to keep my thoughts from sliding back into the same place.But they went anyway. Her arm brushes his. That photo. The ease in her posture beside him. Not cautious, not uncertain. They definitely had somethin

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 89

    Veronica’s POV. The day passed in a blur of muted sunlight and half-hearted attempts to focus. I had tried to eat, tried to scroll through the endless notifications from my assistant, Lily, and even tried to nap but my thoughts refused rest.Every time I closed my eyes, I kept seeing the girl— Mia.Her small frame and curious eyes, the way she smiled when she was confused, almost shyly. She looked happy, almost like she wished Four was hers.I had to know.The curiosity twisted inside me like a blade. Who was this girl? Really?How long has she been in Four’s life before me?Why had he brought her here? And why had she lingered so closely, so comfortably, why was she still around him?I started small. The Internet offered nothing directly about Mia's name. It came up in obscure forums, mentions of modelling work, some charity events, and an old photo where she stood near Four at a gala. She had been around him before I ever came into the picture. My chest tightened at the thought.J
