Semua Bab I Married A Billionaire, Who Wanted Revenge!!!: Bab 1 - Bab 10

ELOWEN My husband Adrian and his first love Lauren were inside his office, supposedly having ‘an important meeting.’ Yet— "Oh Adrian, you’re so naughty!" A sharp intake of moaning caught my ears.And the joke was on me as I, his assistant and a ‘wife in shadows’ stood right before the CEO's office, witnessing sounds of illegal pleasures bathing in the air, each of their hummus was like a cruel whiplash on my existence… With a deep inhale, I masked my anguish and knocked on the door, causing an abrupt pause in their fun as I pushed the door open.“What the hell do you want?” Adrian's voice rang like a distinct bark, even before I could enter.My heart coiled, suffocation seeped within me as the overly sweet fragrance of perfume hit my nostrils as I stepped inside, blending with the aroma of coffee in my hands that only added more to my headache.“Your coffee, Mr. Hale.” My words laced with cold professionalism as I walked inside unhesitant.There, my husband of five years, sitting

ELOWEN “Thirty more days of hell…” I muttered the words under my breath as I pinned my hair loosely in front of the long mirror, reminding myself like a chant, as it was hanging like a thorn in my throat. “And then—I'll be free. A little more patience, Elowen…” However, the idea of sharing the same place with Adrian for a month was still very sickening. Margaret had told me to be patient, but patience has its limits, and with their faces always dancing before my eyes, I realised I needed more, or maybe deserved more… And tonight, I planned to celebrate… The freedom and life I'm going to embrace after thirty bloody days! “Are you ready yet?” Serena’s voice called from the doorway, interrupting my self-negotiation. I looked through the mirror. Serena Ravenwood, my best friend, and divorce attorney, was leaning against the frame, her lips adorned with a bold red hue, her eyes sparkling with a playful glint, which seemed to amplify her naturally cheerful personality. I took one

ELOWEN The man whom I had only witnessed in interviews, news, and billboards was actually standing right in front of me. He wore an expensive dark suit with a white shirt beneath; somehow, it was his signature dress code because whenever I had seen him, he had been wearing the same style. His sleek black hair brushed back, emerald eyes sharp and cunning, and that sharp jaw covered with carefully trimmed stubble. The man is undeniably handsome, so much so that it suffocates unknowingly… “Quite the scene.” He said again, his deep voice carrying a smooth weight of command. Perhaps another time I would have carefully interacted with a man like him, but now—I wasn’t in the mood. “Funny, isn't it? Seems like you've enjoyed it quite a bit.” My words rolled out bitterly. Tonight wasn't supposed to be like this, yet here I am. “Well, it depends.” He leaned casually against the railing, letting his words flow smoothly. His eyes caught the glow of the city; for a second, it felt calm,

ELOWEN ELOWEN My eyes shot open, wide in a daze as I stared at the highlighted headline. Immediately I sat upright on the bed, and started scrolling down the news feed. The news is—everywhere! With photos from the club. Adrian, bleeding Reynold, me and others! What the hell!? ‘Elowen Hale caught cheating—new billionaire scandal unfolds.’‘From wife to mistress? Elowen Hale clings to Veyrek after divorce papers.’There was even a video of me throwing divorce papers at Adrian and—and the rooftop argument with Adrian with Alexander Veyrek beside me. No. No, no, no—My vision blurred, my heart thrummed, on the verge of shattering. “H-how…!” I swallowed hard. The entire news of the evening was surrounded by the three of us only. Worse—pointing at me as the mistress while Adrian became the victim! The photos glared back from the screen—me at the club, Alexander’s hand gripping my waist, his face too close, too unreadable. My body angled toward him. The perfect shot. Cropped and twi

ELOWEN The piercing sound of my phone's ringtone disrupted the quiet atmosphere, as though stabbing the tranquility again and again. I groaned in irritation, rolling over, pulling the pillow over my head. I barely slept the whole night, just paced around and went through the stupid scenarios that happened with me. In fact, I ignored my family's call, I didn’t have the face to pick up their calls—not after going viral in such a ridiculous way. However, the caller didn't give me a break. Eventually, forcing me to glance at the bright screen, hoping to see either mom or dad, but no—it was Serena. I finally answered… “Serena, what—”“Elowen!” Her voice hit like a thunder, cutting my words off. “Where the hell were you last night?” The shriek was so overwhelming that it hit right in my brain. My eyes fluttered, confusion gripping in. “What?” I gasped. “You went out alone, didn’t you?” She barked, sounding too frustrated. “Why did you go out? didn’t I ask you not to!? And why the hel
