All Chapters of Divorcing The Billionaire On Valentine's Day: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ADELINE“ Mr Archer, just sign the papers and let’s be done with this.” I hissed and glared at him. “Sign it.” I repeated, fighting the urge to back down as I met his gaze, Instead I wrapped my arm over my chest.His woody cologne invaded my senses the moment he leaned in closer. What was he doing? He tilted my chin upward, his touch much gentler than I expected. My heart thumped in my chest when he wouldn’t let go, when he leaned even closer.I sucked in a breath, frozen in place. What was he doing? I wanted to push him off, lean back. My mind was willing but my body wasn’t having it. Even as his hand slipped from my chin down my neck, as he tightened his grip a little, I didn’t move. I couldn’t. Not when blood rushed away from my brain the moment he closed the distance and took my lips with his.I stilled. Gray-Mr Archer was kissing me. Mr Archer was kissing me and in public too. We never even hugged before and he was kissing me.I wanted to fight it, but the louder my brain screame

ADELINE“What in the actual hell, A.” Kris barged into my room, as always tossing all manners to the wind. “I thought you were supposed to be on a date with your hunky prince charming, what’s all this about Grayson Archer?”If she noticed me trying to grab on to more sleep, she was very good at hiding it. I groaned and rubbed my eyes. Sun streaked in from the open curtains, worsening the ache in my head. “Why are you so hyper so early?” I whined and pulled the sheets over my head. I sighed in momentary bliss, momentary meaning two seconds because the sheets were yanked from my body before I could get too comfortable.“Wake up! It’s like thirty minutes to noon.” Wait what?! There was no way I actually slept that long. I blame it all on Grayson and his recent obsession with disrupting every aspect of my life.“Still it’s not like I have anything important to get to.” I scoffed. “Just let me sleep.” I turned in the bed, away from her.“What happened to school?”“Not in session yet.”She

ADELINEI held a hand to my chest. My heart raced but I didn’t dare leave the door, I couldn’t trust my legs not to betray me. What the fuck was that? Was Grayson actually trying to kiss me? Again?Shuffling came from the other side of the door and that was my cue to beat it. I pushed off the door and raced down the hallway till I was back in the living room.Johnny said something but for the life of me I couldn’t be sure what it was and I didn’t wait to find out. I shoved the guilt down and sprinted out of there like the building was on fire. Maybe it was, or maybe it was just my chest that was, either way, I needed some air.I hail the first cab I see without hesitation and only released a breath when I safely in its four walls. “Pack Avenue, The snack hut.” I told the driver and leaned further into the seat, letting it deal with all the weight.The drive was just what I needed to not go insane with the endless thoughts that ran through my head, none of them even remotely sensible.

ADELINE“What do you want?” I cut right to the chase the moment he stepped through the entrance of Anna’s pub and sat on the chair which looked a little too small for the sheer size of the man.“Who said I want anything?” He smirked and leaned lazily on the chair. I would expect the size of the wooden chair would make him uncomfortable but once again he shocked me.“We both know you do.” There was no point lying to myself that he suddenly had some magical change of heart. “I asked you once and you didn’t waste anytime shutting it down so why all of a sudden?” I crossed my arm over my chest and his eyes followed the tiny act. I released a slow breath and pinned him with the best glare I could muster.“What? I can’t decide to have mercy on you and once again be the hero?” Once again? When was he ever th- he couldn’t possibly be referring to.“You were an opportunist, not a hero.” I gritted my teeth together to stop myself from biting the arrogant son of a… female dog.“Potato-potatoe.”

ADELINEIt’s been three days. Yeah, you’re right, three days since I made a deal with the devil in expensive suits and agreed to sign my life over to him. And that was enough time for whatever voodoo that had been at work when I made that deal to wear off. Now, all I could think about was how much I would have to give up, fine, I had given a few terms, but if I was being honest I didn’t even want to be within a hundred feet of the man. He was infuriating, lacked basic human decency and worse of all, was blind to it all.I would be giving up what little pride I had left to get rid of the blogs, blogs that wouldn’t have existed if he was just a normal person and stayed away! Was it really worth it? Was it worth it to give up all that and still give up being in a relationship, building a life, an actual one with someone outside the contract. That had been part of the contract last time. Shit. I should have added that to my terms. Why hadn’t I even considered that?I swiped my earbuds fro
