“I— the reason I suggested it is because I know it would work. But I didn’t consider your feelings and I’m very sorry about that. I would never want to do anything that would hurt you, Mia.”

Adrian looked genuinely guilty and that expression softened the irritation inside me almost immediately.

I released a slow breath and shook my head.

“Better. You’d better forget about this ridiculous plan.”

His shoulders relaxed and a laugh escaped him.

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 39: The Truth

    MiaI spent the entire night unable to sleep.The photograph had completely destroyed my sense of security and left my thoughts trapped in constant chaos. Every single time I closed my eyes, Jim’s face immediately appeared inside my mind, and every single time I tried calming myself down, the fear only grew stronger instead of disappearing.I kept getting out of bed throughout the entire night just to check on him, making sure he was still sleeping peacefully and still safe inside his bedroom. Even after returning to my own room several times, I could not relax because every little sound suddenly felt suspicious and every moment of silence felt unbearably heavy.By the time morning finally arrived, I felt completely exhausted, but I still forced myself to get ready.I drove Jim to school then I gave clear instructions to the staff members there. No matter what, they were not to allow anybody unfamiliar anywhere near my son. I also told them that I wanted to be contacted immediately

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 38: Your feelings don’t matter

    Damon The photograph of Jim rattled me far more than I wanted to admit, and even after leaving the school I could not stop thinking about the fear I had seen inside Mia’s eyes.That image remained stuck inside my head and followed me throughout the entire drive back to the office.For years I had seen Mia angry, I had seen her disappointed, and I had seen her hurt because of me, but seeing fear inside her eyes was entirely different.The moment I arrived, I immediately began making calls. I picked up my phone and called one of my trusted investigators immediately.“I need a discreet investigation started right now. I need you to trace the number that sent a photograph. I would send you the number right now.” “Understood, I will begin working on it immediately.”I nodded slowly.“Also, I want additional security around Jim’s school. Nobody except his mother should be allowed to come close to him. Take his safety as top priority.” “Understood sir.”I ended the call and placed my pho

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 37: My Priority

    MiaAfter my conversation with Athena yesterday, I found myself becoming increasingly worried.No matter how hard I tried to push her words out of my head, they kept replaying over and over again without giving me a single moment of peace.The truth was that I did not care about whatever she said about me. People had spent years judging me, misunderstanding me, and creating stories about my life without ever knowing the truth.I had learned how to survive those things a very long time ago.But Jim was a completely different case. Jim was my weakness.Jim was my entire world.Jim was my first priority every single day.Anything involving him immediately terrified me.Ever since Athena mentioned him yesterday, an unbearable feeling had settled deep inside my chest and refused to leave.How much did she actually know? Was she simply trying to scare me?Or did she genuinely know something about my son?Those questions followed me throughout the entire morning and made concentrating alm

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 36: I. Don’t. Love. You

    Damon I woke up the following morning with an uneasy feeling inside my chest. Mia was acting unusually different the whole day yesterday. She was warming up to me before but now she was even more distant. Throughout the years I had known her, one thing had always remained consistent. Whenever she carried a heavy burden, she became more distant, and much harder to read emotionally.That particular habit seemed to not have changed even though so many years had passed between us.The moment I arrived at the office, my eyes immediately searched for her subconsciously. I quickly found her sitting at her desk while staring at her computer screen with an expression that made me feel even more worried.She looked distracted and uneasy.Most importantly, she looked exhausted in a way that deeply concerned me.Her movements seemed slower than usual, and every few seconds, she appeared to drift into her own thoughts before forcing herself back to work again.I walked toward her desk and stop

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 35: Beautiful Boy

    MiaI finally got back home after another exhausting and emotionally draining day at work, but instead of feeling relieved, my mind remained consumed by one troubling thought. Who exactly was the person interfering with our project behind everyone’s backs? No matter how many possibilities I considered, none of them seemed to make complete sense.After changing into comfortable clothes, I immediately walked toward Jim’s room to check on him. He was already asleep beneath his blanket, his tiny body rising and falling peacefully with every breath he took. The sight immediately softened something inside my chest.I slowly sat beside him for several moments while gently brushing his hair away from his forehead. Sometimes, moments like these reminded me exactly why I kept fighting so hard every single day. No matter how difficult life became, he would always remain my greatest priority.Eventually, I kissed his forehead softly before quietly leaving the room.Afterward, I headed toward my

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 34: A Mole

    MiaThe retreat finally came to an end, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief the moment I walked toward the exit because the entire experience had left me emotionally and mentally exhausted. Every single day of this trip had drained me in ways that I never expected, and I honestly felt as though I had been trapped in an endless storm without any opportunity to breathe properly.Between Damon constantly trying to get closer to me, Athena continuously creating unnecessary drama, and Adrian becoming increasingly overprotective.I felt trapped from every possible direction. Every single person around me seemed to want something from me, and I was beginning to lose my mind. As I entered Adrian’s car, I leaned my head against the window and stared at the passing scenery. I desperately wanted silence because my thoughts already felt loud enough inside my head.“You have been unusually quiet ever since we left the resort today.”I released a tired sigh.“I am simply exhausted, these past

    Mia The tension between Adrian and Damon became almost unbearable, and I immediately stepped between both of them before things could escalate into something much worse.I raised my hands slightly and exhaled a frustrated breath.“Both of you need to stop this.”Adrian was still visibly furious, a

    He was sitting on the couch with his hands folded together. His gaze remained fixed on the rain outside.He turned when he heard my footsteps.“It seems you’re having difficulty sleeping tonight too.”I sighed softly before sitting on the armchair nearby.“Well, yes. It is difficult sleeping when y
