Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Perks Of Divorcing My Billionaire Husband: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

When Bella came downstairs the next morning, Vaughn had already left for the Company. In her heart, she felt relieved. After what had happened the other night, she was almost certain he would pester her."Good morning, Madam."As she entered the dining room, she noticed a man dressed in formal clothing, rimmed glasses resting on the bridge of his nose. He glanced at her briefly before fixing his gaze back on the newspaper in his hands.Bella paused mid-step. She studied the man closely, realizing she didn’t recognize him at all. "Um… who are you?""I am Edwin Miller, your assigned therapist.""Excuse me?!"The moment she laid eyes on the man, her instincts told her something was up, and of course, she had been right."I didn’t hire a therapist! I’m not mentally ill!""Pardon me, but no mentally ill patient ever admits they need help. Besides, your husband hired me. He wants me to help treat your amnesia.""But I don’t—" Bella cut herself off before revealing something she shouldn’t.

Vaughn was apologizing?Never in a million years would Bella have thought that her egotistical husband would one day apologize to her—and so sincerely, too. She looked at him intently, studying his face to gauge for any mockery or amusement. There was none. He wasn’t playing a prank on her.Okay, but what did he think an apology was going to accomplish at this point? Bella doubted she’d ever forgive him. Even if, by some miracle, she did, she’d never stop hating him, loathing him.“Can I go back now?” she asked, feeling rather impatient. She had waited all day for his return, just so she could go far away from here.Vaughn hummed. “Go pack your stuff. I’ll drive you to the airport.” He watched his wife hurry upstairs to bring her things. So eager to get away from him. He laughed with some bitterness. “As expected. Even if I change, it won’t make a difference. You’re so eager to leave.”Fine then, I’ll just have to monopolize you, own you, tie you up if I have to. I won’t let you leave

"The Number You Have Dialed Is Currently Switched Off..."Bella is greeted by the mechanical voice for the hundredth time that day—at least it feels like the hundredth to her. She thinks to herself that her mother was just like the Avatar: when you needed her the most, she vanished.It was ironic that the person she wanted to talk to the most at the moment wasn't even her biological parent. Still, years of maternal love couldn't simply be washed away so easily. Even though she felt that the woman had betrayed her by turning her back on her in Bella's time of need, Mirabel Page hadn't always been this selfish. She had cared about Bella sincerely in the past. Bella would give almost anything to turn back the hands of time, to return to her childhood when her parents had been loving, and everything had been so easy.To be the missing daughter of the Walker family—the most powerful individuals in Asia—would seem like a dream come true to most people. But Bella wasn't most people. She had

"I know I should have told you this before, but I was afraid of being turned down," Damien said, holding Bella closely, the words he had left unsaid now spoken. The woman went slack in his arms, too stunned by the confession to struggle further."You... Do you mean that? You love me?" she asked, her voice trembling."Of course I do. I never stopped.""But I... I was so mean to you back then. You were trying to help me, but I cut ties with you, all for Vaughn." Her eyes filled with tears as she thought of all she had sacrificed—her husband, friends, family. She cared about Damien immensely but never dared to hope that he might still have feelings for her.Bella turned in Damien's arms and buried her face in his chest. "I love you, Damien. I'm sorry I didn’t realize it sooner.""That's fine, Bell. I'm just happy to have you back, safe and sound. I promise you, I'll do everything in my power to set you free.""Okay.""Let's go back to your place first. I think..."Bella heard the click o

She opened her mouth to respond, but Dylan sealed her lips with his. The kiss was surprisingly soft. Just a simple brush of lips, but the sensation of a wet tongue sliding across her bottom lip was enough to make her shiver. Bella pushed Dylan away fiercely.The man was a wall of muscles—not the sort of overpowering build that could be overwhelming, but he had a good build, a sign of constant workouts. Just now, when her hand brushed his chest, she felt the warm skin beneath. Though her strength wasn't nearly enough to push Dylan, he was kind enough to stumble back, more to give her some space than due to the shoving."I am not that kind of person!" She found herself clarifying this fact over and over again. Just earlier, Eric had propositioned her, and now Dylan was doing the same. What they had in common was that they were both using her to get back at Vaughn. This was just a game to them.But this was Bella's goddamn life they were playing with! Yes, she was married to possibly the
