Semua Bab Billionaire’s Ex-wife Is Over Him: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Eleven years ago, the Courtney family business had gone bankrupt. On their way back to deal with the aftermath, Amanda’s parents had been killed in a tragic car accident, leaving her, at 17, with no one to turn to. Grief-stricken and lost, Amanda had no choice but to crash an elite party, desperately seeking help from her parents’ old business partners.But the only responses she received were cold rejections, mocking laughter, or lecherous gazes that lingered far too long on her body. Just when all hope seemed lost, Riley, a handsome and wealthy man drawing everyone’s attention, had stepped in to save her.It was the first kindness Amanda had felt since her world had fallen apart. She began to believe that Riley Griffin, the man who stood at the top of the world, could be her lifeline, that he was a kind and gentle soul.From that moment on, wherever Riley appeared, Amanda’s eyes would follow. She found herself drawn to him, captivated by his presence. When he smiled, she felt as tho

Meanwhile, in the VIP room of the same hospital, a few childhood friends of Riley Griffin and Faye Aiken are gathered. Riley tosses his phone onto the table in frustration. He cannot get a hold of Amanda.Faye’s spooked by the sound, and her body trembles slightly as her eyes filled with tears.“Riley, I’m so sorry. I know I’m always troubling you because of my terrible physical condition, but yesterday was unbearable… It felt like I was reliving the day of the air crash.”A few years ago, his mother, Faye, and her mother took his private jet for an overseas vacation. Tragically, there was a crash, and their mother had gone to heaven. Faye made a full recovery, but she was left with severe PTSD.Even though it was unpredictable, it happened on his plane. Faye was the only one who survived, and he swelled with guilt and sympathetic. He even promised Faye’s father he’d treat her like his little sister. So for all these years, no matter when she calls, he’s always there for her.But Rile

Amanda returns to the villa. Without resting, she begins packing her things. She didn’t bring much when she first moved in three years ago, and even though she has a habit of buying small items, she’s never displayed them—Riley doesn’t like clutter, after all.By the time she’s done, all she has are her clothes, a few keepsakes only she cares about, and some small personal items she’d kept carefully tucked away.While sorting through everything, she finds a few boxes of incense.The boxes are dusty, faded from the sun, and barely carry any scent anymore.Seeing them, Amanda remembers a small, silly thing she once did for Riley.After that banquet, Amanda started paying close attention to Riley. Once she became his secretary, she learned that Riley struggled with sleep, often waking in the middle of the night. Determined to help, she searched for ways to improve his rest.One day, a specialist suggested trying aromatherapy, so Amanda took it to heart. She went out of her way to lear

Suddenly, An episode’s replayed in Amanda’s mind.That was an early morning when she spontaneously decided to watch the sunrise. She drove Kara and Grace to the coast.Dawn’s light cast a shimmering path across the calm ocean, stretching from the shore to the horizon. The amber-like sunlight warmed every inch of her skin, making Amanda look like a goddess.Grace smiled like a cat in cream and said to Amanda, “Do you know when I first saw you?”“The first time I saw you was when I randomly attended a debate. You were the third speaker on the affirmative side, and I became totally hooked on you.” Grace lost herself in her own thoughts.“You spoke with such confidence and conviction; your arguments were sharp and precise. I always thought you looked your most beautiful when you were doing something you loved. Even though we were indoors back then, it felt like sunlight was shining down on you.”Grace and Kara both gazed at Amanda, making her turn away. She seemed bashful and awkward.Gr

As Riley broods, Rex speaks up again. “Riley, seriously, just call Amanda over. Give her a raise or something. Or I’ll pay; I won’t let her come for free.”Rex doesn’t notice that Riley’s been a bit depressed and keeps speaking, “By the way, I never understood why you made her your secretary. She’s beautiful, capable, and it’s obvious to anyone that she likes you. You’re married now. Can’t you put her out of her misery? There are plenty of guys at the company who want to date her, and she turns them all down, saying she’s already married. How could she really be married? If she was, would she still show her feelings for you so openly?”Rex shakes his head dramatically.“You broke their hearts! Amanda falls in love with you, Faye is enchanted by you, but you’re already married. They must be devastated!”Riley freezes, for once at a loss for words. He’s usu
