Chapter 41

The polished porcelain floor of one of the most prestigious shopping centers in the heart of the city reflected the crystal lights hanging from the magnificent domed ceiling. The aroma of artisanal coffee mingled with the scent of expensive perfumes in the air, blending with the hum of footsteps from passing shoppers.

Lyonna walked along the mall corridor with light steps that she deliberately made cheerful. In her right hand, two large shopping bags from renowned fashion boutiques s

  • Plus-Size Substitute Wife: 100 Days Before I Abandon Him   Chapter 53

    Chapter 53Darren's left cheek still left a faint reddish flush due to the palm impact a moment ago. However, the stinging sensation on his skin was nothing compared to the strange rumble that suddenly struck the walls of his chest. The man stood tall, towering before Lyonna with an intimidating posture, while his breath still panted heavily, pumping the remnants of his anger and overly high ego.The atmosphere inside the master bedroom felt so thick, as if the oxygen in the room suddenly thinned and turned into a poison that choked the throat.Darren stared at the woman before him with a hard-to-read gaze—cold, sharp, yet hiding despair tightly closed behind the mask of his arrogance. Instead of calming down or offering an apology for his indecent treatment, the man's thin lips actually opened, uttering the most vile sentence capable of crushing the remaining self-respect of anyone who heard it."You want to know what I consider you, Lyonna?" Darren's baritone voice slid low, soundin

    Chapter 52The luxury European-branded car's tires screeched softly against the marble pavement of the Graham mansion's main courtyard. Before the driver could get out to open the door, Darren had already pushed the side door open roughly. The man stepped out with long strides, walked around to the opposite side, and forced open the door where Lyonna sat leaning back with a sullen face."Get out," Darren said briefly, his voice as cold as ice yet implying absolute firmness that left no room for argument.Lyonna snorted loudly, looking up with her chin raised defiantly. "I can walk by myself! There's no need to drag me around like a prisoner of war!" Lyonna snapped harshly, then got out of the car herself with a heavy stomp of her feet on the marble floor.However, as soon as her feet touched the mansion's terrace floor, Darren's strong hand agilely seized her right wrist—not to drag her roughly, but gripping it tightly, locking the woman's movements so she couldn't run toward the gate

    Chapter 51The intricately carved teakwood door remained suspended halfway open, blocked by Darren’s firm palm pressed forcefully against the doorframe. The man’s dark eyes glared sharply, harboring a blaze of emotion ready to explode without warning.Lyonna blinked in shock, feeling a surge of anger suddenly rise to the back of her throat. Before the woman could hurl a string of curses or push the door again to drive her ex-husband away, Darren moved faster than lightning.Without uttering a single word of explanation, without wasting time arguing or constructing an excuse to defend his pride, Darren’s strong arm immediately slipped through the gap in the door. In one swift reflexive movement that was precise yet overwhelmingly powerful, one of the man’s arms wrapped tightly around Lyonna’s slender waist, while his other hand swiftly lifted her lower body.“Kyaa! What the hell are you doing?! Put me down, Darren!” Lyonna screamed hysterically, her body jolting in shock as gravity sud

    Chapter 50The whisper of the night wind blew coldly, carrying with it the scent of wet leaves from the front yard of the Andreas family residence. The magnificent house, designed in a classic-modern architectural style, appeared tranquil behind the towering wrought-iron fence. Outside the main gate, a luxurious black sedan bearing the logo of a European automobile brand was parked with its headlights still shining brightly, casting sharp beams of light toward the main entrance.Inside the house, however, the atmosphere was anything but peaceful.Since that afternoon, Lyonna’s phone had been vibrating continuously on the bedroom table. Dozens of missed calls and a string of urgent text messages filled the screen, all from the same number: Darren Graham. Yet not for even a second did Lyonna have any intention of answering or replying to them. As far as Lyonna was concerned, the chapter involving that man had officially been closed. She was enjoying a cup of warm tea in the family room

    Chapter 49The monotonous ringing of the phone continued endlessly in Darren’s ears, creating a rhythm of panic that repeatedly pounded against the walls of his mind. Inside his private study, which suddenly felt so cramped and suffocating, the CEO’s sturdy fingers gripped his expensive phone so tightly that his knuckles turned completely white.Beep... beep... beep...Once again, the cold-toned female operator’s voice greeted his call. Rejected. Or more precisely, completely ignored.Darren growled under his breath, his jaw clenching so tightly that the muscles in his cheeks twitched violently. His breathing quickened, fueling the anger mixed with a sense of refusal that surged toward his throat. The man slammed his phone onto the mahogany desk, creating a loud thud that shattered the silence of the room.“How dare she...” Darren hissed furiously, his eyes fixed sharply on the red folder containing the divorce petition lying before him. “Leaving just like that without my permission?

    Chapter 48Two days passed in suffocating silence inside the main Graham mansion. The large crystal chandeliers in the living room seemed to shine in vain, reflecting the glimmer of luxury that now felt hollow and cold.The man she had been waiting for still had not shown himself. Ever since the birthday party that had ended as the most humiliating joke of Lyonna’s life, Darren seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. The man’s phone was completely unreachable—it either rang endlessly without an answer or went straight to voicemail. Two full days without a word, without an explanation, and without even the slightest trace of guilt from a husband who had humiliated her in front of hundreds of guests.Inside the spacious master bedroom, Lyonna stood in front of the large wardrobe. Her movements were so calm, far calmer than the turmoil raging inside her chest. There were no more sobs left. The woman’s tears seemed to have completely dried up since that bleak night, replaced b
