Caroline’s Point of View

“If you’re so desperate to end this

marriage,” Knoxx says, his voice steady but with a faint edge of challenge,

“then sell the beach house.”

The words hit me like a slap. I freeze,

feeling my chest tighten with something I can’t quite describe—anger,

frustration, and an ache that cuts deep. Sell the beach house? The very thought

of it feels like a betrayal to everything we once were. That house wasn’t just

a place; it was where I had believed, even for a brief moment, that we could be

happy.

But now, standing here, I know that Knoxx

doesn’t understand what it means to me. But I can’t just walk away from it. I

can’t make it that easy.

I swallow hard, my fingers gripping the

edge of the table as I force myself to look at him. “I’m not selling it,” I

say, my voice quieter than I mean it to be. But I stand by it. That house is

the last piece of something real, something I’m not ready to give up.

Knoxx’s expression shifts just slightly,

These weak idiot women are not empowering women. They put women to shame. All weak dumbasses

When we will get a woman who actually stands her ground and knows her worth? All these novels make the women so pathetic that they actually deserve the BS their husbands put them through.

  • Secret Billionaire Divorcee   Chapter 287

    Adrian's Point of ViewThe package arrives at my penthouse at midnight, delivered by a courier who refuses to meet my eyes. No return address. No explanation. Just a manila envelope with my name written in elegant script.Inside is a photocopy of pages from a diary. My mother's handwriting, unmistakable after all these years. The ink is faded, the paper yellowed with age, but the words are crystal clear.[Karen came to visit again today. She brought those awful herbal teas...]I read the first few lines twice before the meaning hits me. Then I read them again, and again, my hands beginning to shake as the full scope of what I'm seeing becomes clear.My mother wasn't sick.She was murdered.By Karen Wayne. Knoxx's mother.The woman who sat at our dinner table. Who smiled at me with false kindness. Who brought tea and s

    Knoxx's Point of ViewThe knock at the door comes at eight-thirty in the evening, just as Caroline is finishing the dishes from our perfect day. Liam is already asleep, exhausted from pirate adventures and sugar crashes, and I'm in the living room setting up the new goldfish tank we somehow acquired."I'll get it," I call, but something stops me cold when I check the security monitor.Standing on the other side of the door, looking exactly as dignified as I remember despite the years that have passed, is Mason Hartwell. The Wayne family butler who helped raise Adrian and me. The man who disappeared without a word right after my father's funeral, saying he couldn't bear to work for either of us."Knoxx? Who is it?" Caroline calls from the kitchen.I can't answer immediately. Just stare at the screen like I'm seeing a ghost."Mason," I finally manage, my voice

    Caroline's Point of ViewI wake up to the smell of pancakes and the sound of laughter drifting from the kitchen.For a moment, I just lie there, eyes closed, letting the normalcy of it wash over me. No urgent phone calls. No legal documents. No crisis to manage before I've even had my first cup of coffee.Just the sound of my son giggling and Knoxx's deep voice saying something about "flipping disasters" and "architectural pancake failures."I pad to the kitchen in my pajamas and find them covered in flour. Literally covered. Liam has handprints of batter on his cheeks, and Knoxx has somehow managed to get pancake mix in his hair."What happened in here?" I ask, trying not to laugh."Daddy Knoxx tried to flip a pancake really high," Liam explains, bouncing on his toes. "But it stuck to the ceiling!"I look up. Sure enough, there's a perfe

    Caroline's Point of ViewThe video of me throwing champagne at Adrian has been viewed two million times in the past twenty-four hours. #ChampagneCaroline is trending on Twitter. The society pages are calling it either "the most epic takedown in New York history" or "a disturbing display of instability," depending on which publication you read.I don't care about any of it.What I care about is the custody hearing that was mysteriously postponed "pending further review." What I care about is the fact that Adrian's lawyers haven't called to drop the charges as promised. What I care about is that my son keeps asking why everyone looks so sad."Can we do something fun today?" Liam asks, tugging on my sleeve as I scroll through my phone, looking for any news about the legal situation. "Like really fun?"I look up from the screen to find him watching me with those serious brown eyes&md

    Caroline's Point of ViewThe call comes at seven in the morning, three hours before the custody hearing."Caroline," Adrian's voice through the phone is smooth as silk, casual as if we're old friends catching up. "I have a proposition for you."I'm sitting at the kitchen table in Knoxx's apartment, watching Liam eat cereal while Knoxx reviews legal documents with Elena Martinez, our lawyer. The sight of them working together—Knoxx's focused intensity, Elena's sharp efficiency—had given me hope for the first time in days.That hope evaporates the moment I hear Adrian's voice."I'm not interested in anything you have to say," I tell him, my voice low so Liam won't hear."Oh, I think you will be. Especially since it involves dropping the custody lawsuit."My heart stops. Knoxx looks up from the papers, his eyes sharp, questioning

    Caroline's Point of ViewThe bail hearing was a nightmare of legal procedures and cold fluorescent lights, but somehow Knoxx's lawyer managed to get him released on a million-dollar bond. Assault charges against a philanthropist, even a fake one, carry weight in the court system.But he's free. For now.I drive through downtown with Liam buckled in the backseat, heading toward the address Knoxx texted me this morning. He said he needed to "take care of something" before we could meet to discuss our next steps. Legal strategy. Safe house arrangements. All the practical details of a life that's spiraling completely out of control.The address leads me to a part of town I don't recognize. Small shops with hand-painted signs, narrow streets lined with cars that have seen better decades. It's the kind of neighborhood where people mind their own business and ask few questions.Perfect
