Semua Bab Rejected By My Husband, Desired By His Billionaire Brother: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The events after rushing out of the hotel room went by in a blur. Lily wasn't quite sure how she had managed to make it back home, only when the colder than usual night air hit her skin, did her mind clear up a bit. Her heels clacked noisily against the pavement as she stumbled into the quiet sanctuary of the house. The moment she stepped through the door, her legs gave way beneath her and she collapsed on the floor, definitely bruising her knee.But the pain didn't register. Her mind was too occupied with the betrayal and the harsh reality of the night, to register the stinging sensation of a scraped knee.This was supposed to be the happiest night of her life, she thought. It was meant to be the turning point, yet, her life felt like it had been shattered into a thousand jagged pieces by the discovery she made today. She felt her chest tighten, as though invisible hands had reached in and squeezed at her heart without mercy. It throbbed unevenly—wild, desperate—like it was searchi

“Apologized to Isabella this very second, or I'll have the guards throw you on your knees and hold you there until you apologize!” William's voice bounced off the walls of the event halls.Some of the attendees present, took several steps back, startled by his sudden outburst. But Lily, she was frozen where she stood, staring at her husband in disbelief.Was he asking her to apologize for something she did not do? In front of all these people? And Isabella, her gaze drifted in the direction of said girl, who was currently nestled in William's arms, feigning weakness. Wasn't she going to say anything?Parting her lips, she called, “Isabella–” but the name immediately died on the tip of her tongue as in that moment, Lily saw it—clear as day. The subtle curve in Isabella’s lips. The smirk she was trying to fight as she nestled her face into William’s chest. She wasn't hurt. She wasn't crying…she was enjoying this. Something in Lily turned cold the moment she saw this. Like a bucket o

About two hours later, Lily was done packing all she needed to—not that she had much—and was currently sitting on the front steps of the house, waiting for her brother.As she waited, only one thought replayed in her mind. She was going home after so many years.After the call with her brother, Lily had gotten a message from Mr. Linford, explaining how he had no other choice but to inform her brother about the divorce after he had done some digging into his activity upon learning that he had been in contact with her.Lily wasn't surprised. Moreover, she was surprised he hadn't done it sooner. Although she and her older brother, Thomas Arkwright, didn't have the same mother, they were really close.The relationship between her and her brother was special, so much so that he took a pretty good care of her. When she had first fallen in love with William and wanted to pursue marriage, he had been against it, telling her, not only was she not ready for Marriage, but that William wasn't the

"600 million dollars?!"Once again, both Thomas and Lily chorused and Joel simply nodded, like he hadn't just quoted a huge figure."Yes, that is the requirement you must meet for me to be certain that living the family in your hand is the right decision.""Hmph, easy," Megan snorted, crossing her arms over her chest. "Tommy can easily scale such a figure. But, I don't think it would be the same for someone like you who doesn't even know the first thing about business."Those words were like a slight jab to Lily and she briefly glared in Megan's direction."Lily is smart, I'm sure she'll figure it out." Joel said. "Starting next week Lily, you'll work alongside Thomas as the vice president of Arkwright Conglomerate, both your performances would be monitored and evaluated and only after the business year is up, would a suitable candidate be chosen. Do you understand?"She did, but quite frankly, she didn't want to participate in such a challenge. Not that she didn't have fate in her ab

The meeting had ended as quickly as it had begun. Despite all the people that seemed rather mouthy in the beginning, not a single word was muttered when they walked out of the meeting.It was like, they were afraid to speak, afraid of what Lily might do, despite her looking like a harmless flower.That was why, when the meeting had finally ended, they practically rushed out, as if to put as much distance between themselves and her.As she watched them go, Lily couldn't help but chuckle.'What a bunch of cowards,' She thought. 'Well, good as they now know their boundaries. The less headache she has, the more effectively she can work and hit her target."With her arms folded across her chest, she strolled out of the conference hall and into the waiting arms of Richard."Miss Lilian, I've prepared your schedule for the day," He informed."My schedule?"Richard nodded and handed her a black folder. "The details of your meeting with the board are listed here. As well as the other appointmen
