All Chapters of Divorcing The Billionaire On Valentine's Day: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

ADELINE“Oh my God, Adeline, are you insane?!” Scarlett wailed, the wounded sound like a banshee crying for her husband. Crimson red blood gushed from an ugly gash in her forearm.All she needed was a second, just that second was enough for her to grab the nearest piece of glass and before I could say anything or stop her, she sank in into her arm and like a freaking psychopath ran it down in a jagged mess without a sound. The sight of blood was unnerving but seeing how Grayson’s glare immediately softened was worse. I hated her. More than I have ever hated anyone.“Adeline, what the hell?” Grayson snapped. It took me too long to realize he wasn’t glaring at Scarlett for trying to kill me. No, my dear husband had her pulled tightly to his side while he cradled her like a porcelain doll, right in my face!The bitch even had the guts to smirk at me. One that said without words, “told you so.”I would admit that Scarlett’s arm was a mess, a long jagged cut extended from just below her in

GRAYSONIt was nothing new, but seeing not just a few drops of blood, but an actual trail of crimson was terrifying, especially with Adeline being the only one on this side of the house. Did she miscarry? Heavens no! There would be no facing her after that, my rashness in making sure Scarlett had support had been one thing, but costing Adeline a child in the process would be utterly unforgivable .I couldn’t remember the last time I actually prayed, but in that moment I prayed to every deity and every god that was willing to listen to a humble human’s plea.I follow the trail backwards to the kitchen where it all began. The disapproving grunt was impossible to hold back. Broken glass was everywhere, almost covering the entire floor with miniature death toys in the form of glass shard. It was safe for me, I had shoes on, but did she?I racked my brain and grunted in frustration when nothing came to my mind. Had I really been so absentminded that I couldn’t even check to see the state s

ADELINE"Wait, what? How? Aren't you both still married and Scarlett isn't one to just let you win over her like that." I rushed, sounding more like I was ranting than anything else, but panic rose in my chest. In all my thinking of their still being married, I hadn't stopped to consider what that meant for Johnny, Scarlett was his real mother after all. So after over five years, she wanted custody of him now? Why?! What changed?"I don't understand, can she do that? I thought since you both are divorced, she can't..." the words caught in my throat as my lips finally caught up with my brain. "She can do that. She can totally take Johnny," a wedge settled in my throat as realization hit me like a sledgehammer, panic rushed through my blood like an intravenous shot of hard drugs and not the good kind, the kind that blurred out your brain and leaves you feeling like shit afterwards."Exactly, but thankfully Scarlett would always be Scarlett, I'm hoping I'm right about that and I can dig

ADELINE“So…this was all about aunt Dahlia.” He flinched, that far away look took over again for barely a second before the blank look took over.The lines on his forehead deepened as he processed the question, “In the beginning…yes.” He held my gaze, taking every word slow like he was being careful, like I was a minefield and he had to be careful not to step on the wrong spot, or in this case, get on my last nerve.“So you knew about her before you gave my father the loan.” I was trying to wrap my head around the whole thing, be more understanding, try to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his track record wasn’t helping. “Was the plan to punish me?” I blurted. It added up. The silent treatment, the late nights out without explanation, the passive aggressive way he always responded when I could get him to speak with me. It was never about me the entire time. It was about my aunty. It was all about a woman who left me for a… wait a minute!“When did your father divorce your mother

ADELINEScarlett was on the other side of the window, her hair flowing and forming a halo around her face in the best way possible. Despite everything I couldn’t lie that she was as stunning as stunning could get, but that didn’t mean I was going to overlook just how vile she was because of it.Pretend, we have to cooperate for this to work. I had to remind myself because the only thing that came to mind in that moment was to roll down the windows and pull her head on it, maybe if she felt some pain, it would reset it some.I forced out air through my lips, letting it come from within, from my lungs, out of my lips. After what felt like forever, I turned to Grayson.“I hope she doesn’t have anything up her sleeves.” I said angrily, gesturing like crazy like I was actually saying something insulting out of anger towards him. It was for her benefit really, but a part of me wanted to actually yell at him, at her, at everybody, they all deserved a little talking to because why on earth wo
