My Ex-husband’s Final Straw 24
Luke: The moment Bella pushed her chair back, I knew exactly why she was leaving. No one has to explain it to me. I knew Bella better than anyone else once did. She had always been that way. If she disliked someone enough, she wouldn't even force herself to stay in the same room with them, let alone sit at the same dining table and share a meal. She would rather excuse herself quietly than pretend everything was fine. And right now, the person she couldn't bear to be around was me. The realization settled heavily in my chest. "Bella." Her name slipped out before I could stop myself. She froze halfway to the doorway. For one second, hope surged inside me. Maybe she'd turn around, she'd look at me the way she used to, she'd give me one chance to explain. But she didn't, she remained standing with her back to me, her shoulders stiff, refusing to meet my eyes. That hurt far more than I expected, she couldn't even look at me anymore. But we were both at fault, she kissed an
My Ex-husband’s Final Straw 23
Bella:The moment I saw Luke, every bit of peace I've managed to build over the last five years disappeared.I lowered my eyes immediately, forcing myself to focus on the food in front of me. My fingers tightened around the fork in my hand as I tried to keep my expression calm.I couldn't believe fate had such a twisted sense of humor. Out of everyone in the world...I will sit at the same dining table as the man who had destroyed my marriage.Five whole years had passed since our divorce. People always said time healed everything.They lied. Time has only taught me how to survive.It has taught me how to smile again, how to rebuild my career, how to become stronger than the broken woman who walked away from that marriage. But it had never erased the pain.Whenever I remembered what Luke had done to me, my chest hurt physically, and I couldn't control the pain.It wasn't just the cheating, it was the lies, the humiliation, the way he chose another woman over the wife who loved him wi
My Ex-husband’s Final Straw 22
Bella:Aiden gently intertwined our fingers as we walked out of the Grand Palais.The simple gesture brought an unexpected sense of comfort. The heaviness that had settled in my chest after seeing Luke seemed to ease, even if it was only a little.Almost immediately, reporters surrounded us from every direction."Miss Bella! Over here!""Congratulations on winning Best Model of the Year!""Are you and Mr. Blackwood dating?""When is the wedding?""Cameras this way, please!"Microphones were shoved toward our faces while camera flashes lit up the night.Aiden merely smiled politely."No questions tonight," he said calmly.He tightened his hold on my hand and guided me through the crowd while his bodyguards cleared a path for us.I stayed close beside him, grateful that he was taking care of everything.The moment we reached the car park, my steps faltered.I saw Luke leaning against his black car with his arms folded across his chest.For a second, my heart forgot how to beat.The sig
My Ex-husband’s Final Straw 21
Luke's POV Serena still wasn't over her exes. The funny thing was, she never tried to hide it. Every chance she got, she'd compare me to them. “They weren't rich,” she said coldly, staring me straight in the eye. “That's the only difference between you and them.” Without waiting for a response, she turned on her heels and walked away, leaving me standing there in silence. I watched her disappear into the crowd before letting out a long, exhausted sigh. This...This has been my life ever since we got married. To everyone else, Serena was the perfect wife—elegant, supportive, affectionate. The media adored her. Friends envied our marriage. But behind closed doors, it was completely different. She spoke to me however she pleased, constantly belittled me, and somehow always found a way to make me feel like I wasn't enough. I haven't seen this side of her until it was too late. Divorce had crossed my mind more than once, but I wasn't foolish enough to rush into it. B
My Ex-husband’s Final Straw 20
“You okay?” Aiden's familiar voice pulled me back to reality. I looked up at him and forced a small smile. “I'm okay.” He studied my face carefully. “You don't look okay.” I exhaled quietly. “I'm just…sad. My mum should've been here. I wish she could've seen this.” His expression softened instantly. Without saying anything, he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. “She saw it.” I looked at him. “Trust me.If there's anywhere she could be right now, she'd be watching you. And she'd be the loudest person clapping in this entire hall.” A small laugh escaped me. “You think so?” “Yes, I know.” He squeezed my shoulder lightly. “She'd be unbelievably proud of the woman you've become.” I nodded slowly. “Yeah…” For a few seconds, neither of us spoke. Then his smile became playful. “You know...I won.” I frowned. “What are you talking about?” “The bet.” He folded his arms proudly. “I told you you'd win Best Model of the Year.” I rolled my eyes. “You got lucky.” “I never get lucky
My Ex-husband’s Final Straw 19
Bella: The moment my eyes drifted away from the audience, I forced myself to breathe. No. It can't be him. And even if it was, his presence had no right to ruin the happiest day of my life. Not today. Not after everything I'd fought through to stand on this stage. I tightened my grip around the microphone, my fingers trembling despite every effort to steady them. My heartbeat echoed loudly in my ears, drowning out everything else for a second. Looking across the magnificent hall filled with the biggest names in fashion, I suddenly realised this wasn't just another awards ceremony. This was the moment I'd spent five years bleeding for. Five years of rejection. Five years of loneliness. Five years of rebuilding a life that had once been completely destroyed. I swallowed the lump in my throat before finally speaking. “When people look at this trophy,”I begin softly again, my voice trembling with emotion, “they see success. They see glamorous runways, expensive
My Ex-husband’s Final Straw 6
Luke’s POV (A few days later) I pulled up to Serena’s mansion again after another long day, my mansion feeling more like a trap than a home these days. Bella’s texts and missed calls sat unread on my phone. Every time I thought about responding, that image from the bar flashes back and it hurts
My Ex-husband’s Final Straw 5
I stood there for a long second, staring at Bella, her words hung between us heavily, twisting the knife of betrayal even deeper into my chest. Everything we had built, every promise, every late night where I chose her over and over, all felt like it was crumbling right in front of me. “Fine,” I
My Ex-husband’s Final Straw 4
I sat on the edge of the bed, carefully helping Serena rub ointment on her twisted ankle. Guilt gnawed at me—I should have been home with my wife right now, but Serena’s situation felt too urgent to ignore. I’d always worried about her, and honestly, she’d been there for me through so much. I’d
My Ex-husband’s Final Straw 3
He sighed quietly, then guided me forward again as though silence was simply another form of obedience, and I let myself be moved because resisting required energy I no longer had. “Sit,” he said, pulling out a chair for me at a table that had been arranged with obsessive precision, petals formin
