Liam's POV.

I was finally free from Emily. Free to love Nichole the right way and not hide her anymore. 

I could finally get married to the girl I truly love and we'll live happily ever after. 

But why isn't there a fibre in my body that seemed excited for the development? Instead, it felt like I have lost something that I can never get back?

My chain of thought was abruptly interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing. 

It was Jared calling. 

"Hey, Jared," I muttered weakly, pulling over at the side of the road.

"Liam, where are you? Is Emily there with you?" My heart skipped a beat as he mentioned her name. 

Why am I suddenly beginning to feel this way? I can't seem to wrap my head around what was going on with me.

"She's not," I managed to mutter. 

"I've been trying to call her phone but I can't seem to reach her, I wanted to check on her and see how she's doing now," he replied. 

"What do you mean how she's doing?" I couldn't stop myself from asking.

"Wait, you didn't know that she's ill? She was diagnosed of severe headache two days ago, although I could tell it was more than that, she was trying to act strong," I felt a loud bang on my head as his words filtered into my ears. She mentioned that at the hospital but I was too focused on Nichole's health to pay attention to her. 

"I guess I'll just go over to the house and see her then,"

"She's not at the house," I replied.

"Where is she then?" 

"I don't know," 

"What have you done Liam, where the fuck is Emily!" He yelled.

"I don't know man! She requested a divorce, I granted her wish and now she's gone, I don't know where the fuck she is!" I yelled back at him. 

"You are divorced?" His voice came out in a low whisper and before I could say any more word, he hung up the call. 

Why was he acting like he didn't know the situation behind our marriage? 

Nichole is the only lady I love and would spend the rest of my life with regardless of her illness. 

I exhaled a deep breath, igniting the car and drove off heading towards the hospital. 

*

Walking into the hospital, I headed towards the doctor's office, deciding to have a conversation with him before heading towards Nichole's ward.

I was concerned that his hospital was one of the biggest in the country and yet for several months, he still isn't able to find a blood type that matched Nichole's blood except Emily's. 

Emily is no longer in the picture and Nichole needed a new donor as soon as possible or I might lose her which was my worst fear. 

Standing by the door, I placed a soft knock and stood back for a few seconds for a response but none came. I repeated the process and when there was no response again, I turned around and headed back to Nichole's ward. The doctor probably stepped out for a bit. 

Drawing closer towards the ward, I was met with a shriek laughter echoing through the air, the sound of the voice suddenly caught my attention. It was unmistakenly Nichole's. 

How is that even possible?

My heart was already racing drastically as I leaned closer to the door, gazing through the glass window and behold, Nichole was sitting upright on the bed looking quite healthy, she had a wide smile on her face as she discussed with the doctor. 

I was stuck in-between happiness and intense confusion. How was she suddenly awake and well? 

I was about pushing the doorknob and rush inside when the doctors next words filtered into my ears.

"Since his wife is no longer your problem and he's all yours, don't you think you should drop the act? He's really worried about you,"

"Yeah I will, but not right now, it might come off a little suspicious if I woke up right after he got divorced," her voice came next leaving me further dumbfounded. 

I carefully strained my ears to follow up fully in their conversation. 

"Your payment will be sent by the end of today, I highly appreciate your cooperation," she said and he chuckled. 

"Anything for a few more bucks,"

I was raging with anger at this point that I couldn't wait to hear more of their discussion before pushing the door open and stormed in.

"This is what has been going on?"

She sprung up from the bed, staring at me with pleading eyes, her fingers twitching the edge of the hospital dress. "Liam, I can explain." 

I dragged my gaze from her to the doctor. "The only thing you will be taking out of this building is yourself, everything else here will be trashed, just like you trashed my wife's blood,"

"It was all her idea Mr Liam, please...."

"Leave while I'm being nice!" I thundered and he scurried off immediately.

"Baby, you need to calm down and let me explain please," Nichole feigned tears.

I knew better than to fall for her tricks now.

"This was all your plot to sabotage my marriage? How could you do a thing like this?"

"I did it for us Liam, your marriage was an obstacle for us, I took care of it," she tried to draw closer to me but I stopped her halfway with a wave of my hand.

"You fooled me, I don't appreciate being fooled," 

"What would you have me do huh? I've been tossed aside as your sidepiece for four years Liam and that wasn't what you promised me," 

"I fucking had it under control!" I yelled.

"For four years? But I pulled it off in few months," 

"By draining Emily of her blood? Who are you?" 

"Oh, and you are such a saint now, aren't you?" She chuckled mockingly, irritating me the more. "You treated her like trash Liam, you are not better than me," 

"Nichole...

"Fine, I went too far, I'm sorry, but it's already done, and the good thing is that we are finally free to be together," she squealed.

"This is the end Nichole, I never want to see you again," my voice came out in a whisper. I couldn't believe I was dumb enough to fall for her trick.

"Liam, no please...

"Goodbye Nichole," with that, I turned around and stormed off.

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter two hundred and fifty six.

    The restaurant was warm, the golden lights casting a cozy glow over the sleek wooden tables. Soft jazz music played in the background, mingling with the murmurs of the other diners, the clinking of silverware against fine china.I sat by the window, stirring my drink absentmindedly as I watched the city move outside. For the first time in what felt like forever, I was alone. No responsibilities pressing on my shoulders, no demands clawing at my time. Just me, a beautifully plated meal, and the illusion of peace.I let out a long sigh, sinking into the plush chair, allowing myself to bask in the moment. Life had been... exhausting. For years, I had been running. Not literally, but emotionally, mentally. Running to fix things, to prove myself, to erase the shadows of the past. And on top of that, I had a daughter now—a beautiful, sweet little girl who meant everything to me. She had Ryan’s piercing eyes, his lips, but my face. Every time I looked at her, it was like seeing pieces of him

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter two hundred and fifty five.

    Aria's POV. It had been two years since everything changed... since the scandal that turned my world upside down. And then my parents had it fixed. Christie, Josh and I were done with highschool and now in our first year in college. And just like every other day, we were laughing about some stupid class project as we made our way down the sidewalk.Suddenly, my phone tucked in my pocket and I quickly fetched it from my pocket, I didn't recognize the number, but it was an unknown area code, and something about it made my stomach drop.“Hold on, guys,” I said to Christie and Josh before picking the call “Hello?” “Is this Aria Liam's?” a calm voice on the other end asked.“Yes,” I replied, getting confused now. “This is city hall hospital. We need you to come in immediately. Your presence is required.”My mind raced. The urgency in the voice sent a chill down my spine. “What happened? Is everything okay?”“I’m afraid I can’t give you any details over the phone,” she said. “But it’s

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter two hundred and fifty four.

    Aria's POV.I had never been so relieved to return to school. Two weeks off, two long weeks of hiding away in my room, avoiding the pitying stares from neighbors, and the whispers of strangers who thought they knew everything. But today, today I was going back. I wasn’t going alone either. My parents were walking beside me, I didn’t know exactly what they had planned, but I knew they were going to do something about the scandal. Something that would either make everything better.. or make it worse.I adjusted the strap of my bag, glancing at my parents as we walked through the front gate of the school. Mom was standing tall, shoulders squared, walking with a determined pace. Dad, on the other hand, had his hands jammed deep into his pockets. They looked like the same parents I had known my whole life, though today felt different. They were on a mission.The moment we stepped onto school grounds, I could feel the tension. The eyes. People were still talking about us.. about the scanda

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter two hundred and fifty three.

    Aria's POV.The moment I broke the hug, a strange sensation crawled through my body. It wasn’t pain, but something that felt like an overwhelming wave, an unsettling force pulling at my insides. My stomach twisted, and a sudden wave of nausea surged up through my chest, catching me off guard. My vision blurred, and I swayed, struggling to keep myself upright. I gripped the edge of the chair, my fingers digging into the hard surface in an attempt to ground myself. But her body wasn’t listening to me. It felt like it had betrayed me, as if it had no control of its own."Hey, Aria, what's wrong?" I heard distant voices but I couldn't make out who they belonged to.My head spun, the room seeming to tilt at an impossible angle. The world around me began to dissolve, the sounds muffled as if underwater. I gasped for air, trying to steady myself, but it was as though the air itself had become thick, too heavy for me to breathe. My chest tightened, and my pulse raced, the noise of my heartbea

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter two hundred and fifty two.

    Aria's POV.The days dragged on, each one stretching endlessly without Ryan. The grief was a living thing, wrapping around me, suffocating me. I missed him in ways that words could never capture. It wasn’t just his presence; it was the way he made me feel, the way he could make even the worst moments bearable. Now, everything was unbearable.I hadn’t left my room much, only stepping out when my body physically forced me to. I barely ate. I barely slept. When I did sleep, it was restless, haunted by dreams of Ryan... his voice, his touch, his warmth. Only to wake up to the cruel reality that he was gone.Christie and Josh had been my lifeline, visiting almost daily. They would knock, call my name softly, and even if I didn’t answer, they would sit outside my door for hours, talking about everything and nothing at all. I didn’t deserve them, but I needed them. Even if I could barely acknowledge it.It was a week of my suspension today, after spending hours lying in bed, staring blankly

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter two hundred and fifty one.

    Ryan's POV.It had been days. Days since Ryan had disappeared from my life, leaving nothing but an empty hole where my heart used to be. I could still feel the echoes of his presence, haunting the corners of the house, in the space where his laughter used to ring, in the quiet that used to be filled with his voice. But now, everything felt hollow. I hadn’t heard from him since that video, that live confession. And with every passing moment, the silence grew louder, consuming me more and more until I couldn’t tell where I ended and the emptiness began.I sat on the floor in the far corner of my room, my knees drawn up to my chest, arms wrapped tightly around them as if I could protect myself from the overwhelming emptiness that consumed me. The walls felt like they were closing in. The quiet, the stillness, it suffocated me. My mind wouldn’t let me escape the thoughts of him. Of what he said. Of what he did. Of what he could have done to escape this nightmare.My heart kept trying to
