All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Ex-Wife’s Second Chance: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

SIENNA THORNETonight will be an unforgettable one. That was what I told myself as I tied strings around four balloons and hung them to the nail on the wall. It was my third wedding anniversary with my husband Xander Smith and I was going all out. Ours had never been a love marriage, merely a business transaction but I had fallen for him about a year and six months in and now, after three years, I was ready to fight for that love. This party was my brilliant idea of getting rid of the transactional side of marriage and ushering us into the honeymooney, lovers phase of it. I never envisioned a loveless marriage for myself when I dreamt of my future but when my family was in crises, I stepped in, no questions asked - not that anyone would have listened to my opinion.

Xander had always been so soft spoken towards me in the past and I'd have never believed he had this side to him. “Xander, why are you doing this?” I asked. “We need to talk, you can't just leave me.” “What do you want to talk about?” I decided to play along. He blinked in surprise and smiled. “I want to explain everything to you,” “Okay, I'm listening.” He released my hand and placed his at the small of my back, guiding me towards the bed. “Sit,” I did as I was told with batted breath. He sat beside me and held my hand in his. “Disne was a mistake. It was a drunken mistake that shouldn't have happened.” I nodded. “So you are admitting that you slept with Diane?” I kept my tone even as I asked not wanting him to suspect I was seething on the inside. “I'm sorry, it wasn't supposed
