All Chapters of Ex-husband, I'm No Longer Your Substitute : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Ava’s POV “Today, CEO Williams Anderson formally introduced his first love, the renowned Olivia Thompson, to the company. Are they finally tying the knot now that the famous model has stepped back into the spotlight?”I replayed the news over and over again as my eyes lingered on the television screen. My throat bobbled up and down as I watched the photo being displayed below the news headline. In the picture, my husband, Williams, stood with a strangely familiar woman who had the same eye colour and hair colour as me. His hands were wrapped around her waist in a protective way, while she smiled sweetly at him. A cold shiver ran down my spine as the elegant mask I wore cracked, revealing a storm of disbelief and hurt. A slow burn started in my chest, crawling up my throat like bile. My eyes stung with tears, but I pinched myself to stop the tears from falling. That wasn’t me, even though she looked so much like me— same eyes and hair colour. Who was she? Olivia Thompson?

I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain, like invisible claws raking through soft tissues, shot through my lower abdomen. I winced in pain as my eyes moved down to the dress I wore and widened in shock.

Ava's POV My breath hitched and my heart raced as William's words reached my ears. He was the last person I wanted to see right now because everything about him now irritated me. I turned around, facing him. He was calm, too calm, his expression blank and unreadable as he stood by the door. “Williams!” I called out, my voice weak and I hated it. “I gave you the chance to be my mistress, Ava. However, you chose the other option, leaving me no choice but to take everything from you.” A smug smile stretched on his lips. Rage blasted through me that my hands became shaky and my breathing became erratic. Everything this asshole was talking about and wanted to take from me had always been mine until I got married to him. Until I foolishly handed everything to him. I knew what he wanted. He wanted me to choose the option of being his mistress. But I would not give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. “Fine!” I said weakly, my voice trembling with unshed tears. I was too tired to
