Все главы He Divorced Me, Now I Want His Mistress’s Billionaire Ex: Глава 11 - Глава 20

“Pathetic!”That was so pathetic. You could’ve outbid that asshole, Nalani snapped, her voice cold. “You were so slow. You couldn’t even do that for me.”Liam didn’t respond right away. He had heard her complaints all night and didn’t have the energy to argue. Instead, he let the silence hang between them, his gaze fixed on the floor, waiting for her to calm down.“Enough, Nalani,” he said finally, “You’ve been going on about this all night.” He spoke with a mix of annoyance and resignation.Nalani laughed in disgust, losing her patience. "So now you're sick of me?" she said, her voice full of mockery. "You left your ex wife for me, your pregnant ex wife Liam. And if someone better came along, you'd leave me too. That's just how you are - you only think of yourself."Liam opened his mouth, but the words caught in his throat. He hadn’t expected her to say this, especially not so bluntly.“And what about you?” he asked quietly. “You were married too. You chose him over me, but you kept

🌸Eden🌸By the time I returned home that evening, I was exhausted. The day had been a whirlwind of introductions, lessons, and trying to find my footing in this new chapter of my life. I dropped my bag by the door and headed to the kitchen, hoping to clear my mind by cooking something simple for dinner.As I chopped vegetables, my phone buzzed on the counter. It was a text from Finn.I smiled faintly, the tension from earlier easing slightly.I set the knife down and checked my phone, smiling at the message. Finn asked how my first day went, calling me “chef.”“It was good,” I typed back. “A little overwhelming.”His response came quickly. “I miss you already.”My heart fluttered. “I miss you too. How was your flight?”“Long,” he replied. “Sophie’s already bombarding me with meetings for tomorrow. I’d rather be there, honestly.”I hesitated before sharing more. “I made a friend today. Her name’s Vanessa.”“Oh?” he responded. “Tell me about her.”“She’s really friendly, but she seemed

Liam thought to himself, The perks of marrying a billionaire’s daughter come with their share of humiliation. Despite his efforts to hide it, Grandma Lola’s words had stung.Alonso Caspian leaned back in his chair, a look of pride flickering in his eyes. “You will run for presidency next year, Liam. Consider the election already won.”Liam smiled, hiding his true thoughts. This wasn’t just about power; it was his chance to prove himself to Nalani and everyone who doubted him, especially Finn Rowan.Grandma Lola’s sharp voice cut through his thoughts. “He’s only doing this so you can be somebody and worthy of our princess… Don’t celebrate yet. If you lay a finger on her, i will personally crush you.”Her words were a reminder that he wasn’t in their circle yet. Not until he won their approval.He couldn’t help but think to himself, If they could leave Grandma Lola with me for just a minute, she’d get a free ticket to heaven… or hell.He quickly suppressed the thought, not wanting to gi

Liam pushed open the front doors of the mansion, his face dark with anger. The embarrassment from earlier still stung—Eden’s slap had hurt his pride more than anything. All he wanted now was to forget the day and find comfort in Nalani.But as soon as he walked in, he noticed something was wrong. Nalani stood at the bottom of the stairs, her arms crossed, her face furious.“Nalani?” he asked, frowning. “What’s wrong?”She didn’t answer. When he stepped closer and leaned in to kiss her, she slapped him hard across the face.The sound echoed through the room. The staff nearby froze in shock. One servant gasped loudly, and others stared, unsure of what to do.Liam touched his cheek, his face burning with embarrassment. First Eden, now this? He clenched his fists, trying to stay calm.“What was that for?” he shouted.“For being stupid,” Nalani snapped.“Stupid? What are you talking about?” he asked, confused.“If you miss your ex-wife so much, why don’t you go back to her?” she said coldl

🌸Eden🌸I felt good about what I did at Nalani’s house last night. It gave me some satisfaction, but it still hurt. How did everything fall apart so quickly? And Liam? He was nothing but a toy for Nalani to play with.“Here’s your bag, madam,” Mia said, handing it to me. “Everything’s ready for today. Oh, and some security guys are waiting outside for you.”I sighed. This had to be Finn’s doing. “I told him I could handle this on my own,” I muttered under my breath.Stepping outside, I spotted two men standing by the car.“Good morning, madam,” one of them said, stepping forward. “I’m Joshua, and this is Will. We’re your escort henceforth.I blushed when she heard “escort.” I didn’t expect Finn to go this far for my safety.I turned to the two men. “Umm, I don’t really need a babysitter. I think I’m fine on my own.”Joshua stepped forward, looking a little worried. “But, Madam…”“Please, it’s going to be awkward at school,” Eden interrupted. “You guys can go ahead. I’ll talk to Mr. R
