Run Away With His Twins: Divorce My Billionaire Husband のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Kathryn’s POV“Wilhelm, I have to excuse myself,” I mumbled, unsure if he had heard what I just said as he was too engrossed in conversation with Rose to give me just a tiny bit of his attention. Unnoticed by my very own husband, I held back my tears and maintained a dignified expression despite the unbearable pain that shot through my chest. It hurt to think that their closeness was one I had imagined I would’ve had with my own husband, but it wasn’t the case.In the end, I went home alone. I'm disheartened by what I've witnessed. Arriving home, Anna wordlessly opened the door for me. Just as I entered, my mother-in-law, Camille, happened to be threading down the stairs. Her sharp eyes, which mimicked my husband’s, darted to where I was. I held my breath. I already predicted what would come next. “Hello, mother,” I tried to hide my bleak appearance with a smile. Camille gave no reply yet, her eyes filled with distaste that lingered my way. “Why are you arriving home without W

“She’s here on an appointment,” Wilhelm replied coldly. “What are YOU doing here? I didn’t hear about you getting an appointment to see me.” I blinked. “You’re asking me, your own wife, to set an appointment for me to get to see you in your own company?” A shadow crossed over my husband’s face. “Isn’t that what I’ve just said?” “I’m so sorry, Kathryn! I only tried to wipe the sweat off the back of his shirt,” Rose reasoned. “I meant no harm in doing it,” she looked to Wilhelm next. “I should probably leave—” “You should stay. We’re not yet signing the contract,” he gestured to the paper on the desk before he shifted his gaze to me. “You should be the one to leave.” I couldn’t breathe at his words, my hands shaking as I held tight onto the lunchbox that I had brought him. How could he dismiss me like this? “Why is she joining the company?” I managed to ask. Wilhelm narrowed his eyes on me. “Do I need to tell you?” “Wil, that’s enough,” Rose said, reaching out to touch his shoul

Kathryn’s POVThe man I once admired as my husband, stood from his desk and sank on the sofa next to it, muttering curses one after the other. “This is fucking ridiculous!” “Don’t you want to read it first?” I asked, my face a blank canvas on his outraged nature. “You’re being unreasonable,” Wilhelm barked as he stared at the divorce agreement document that was placed on his table, his face turning dead-beat red from probably all the anger he felt. “How ungrateful can you be, Kath? I’ve wasted money for you to get to where you are, and now you’re asking me for a divorce?” he laughed without any humor. “And whose money do you think you’d use to pay your attorney’s fee? My own?” I placed my hand underneath my belly for support. “I owe you nothing, Wilhelm. The money that I have right now came wholly from my parents, especially my father’s inheritance.” “Yours? Are you even listening to yourself?” Wilhelm exclaimed. “Remember the day you came begging, promising to combine your in

Mother placed a few biscuits and a cup of tea in front of me, wearing a frown that accentuated the fine lines on her face. Beside her sat my stepfather, who also wore a similar expression, though he attempted to appear more relaxed than my mother ever did. The room filled with the scent of jasmine and honey, a welcome relief for my stomach after a long day at my lawyer’s office.“I can’t believe you did it,” Mother finally spoke, her eyes solemn as they gazed upon me in disappointment, yet she didn’t look much older either from the new color of her hair. “News traveled fast about your decision to divorce Wilhelm, and I’m sure your father in heaven wouldn’t like it either. His efforts to get you married off to a capable man had all gone to waste.”I arched an eyebrow as I took a sip from my cup. “When he’s clearly the one who placed our feet in a surmountable amount of debt? Yeah, sure.” “How can you speak that way to your deceased father!” Mother exclaimed, her face flushing with co

Kathryn’s POVExam week is over, and I personally think I did well in most of my subjects. It was already dark when I decided to go home from school. While I walk in silence, I can’t shake Roland’s words out of my mind, even though I know to myself that I should be focusing on my exam results instead.I didn’t doubt for one second that Roland would’ve taken good care of me and my children like they were his own blood. But I still couldn’t drag him into my life; not when it’s meant to be this messy from the start. I regret that even now, Wilhelm’s subtle smile when we first met has always cast a shadow on Roland’s face whenever he stares right back at me. Even though my now ex-husband was already so far away from me, his memories were a shadow that never left my side. A tall man in a dark hoodie leaned his entire body on the lamppost, his head tracking my movements as I turned into a dark alley. I couldn’t quite see his face, but my heart raced when I sensed his presence drawing nea
