The Billionaire Chases Her After Divorce의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 8

I woke up with my throat burning and my stomach twisting. I barely made it to the bathroom before throwing up. My knees hit the cold floor as soon as I leaned over the toilet.I grabbed the sink and pulled myself up, my legs shaking the whole time.As soon as I stood up, I washed my mouth. After rinsing, I wiped my mouth while looking in the mirror. I stared at my reflection. My face looked pale like a ghost, and my lips were dry.This had been happening every morning for more than a week now.I already suspected what it meant. But I still needed to be sure. That was why I decided to go for a checkup today.I placed a hand on my stomach without thinking, then quickly pulled it away, like someone might see, especially Arzhel. He went on a business trip last week, and I expected him to come home tonight.My phone buzzed.Adrian. My childhood best friend who had just come home from New York. We reconnected last week, and now he was accompanying me to the clinic since I was not yet ready t

I didn’t leave the house yet. I stayed and slept in the guest room last night.After Arzhel and Veronica walked out, the place felt too quiet. Even the maids avoided the living room. I stayed seated at the dining table for a long time, staring at the divorce papers like they might disappear if I didn’t touch them.Eventually, my phone buzzed.Adrian.I ignored the first call.Then another.And another.Until I finally answered.“Lia, where are you?” he asked, concerned. “You didn’t answer my messages.”“I’m home,” my voice low from having little energy.“What happened?”I looked at the papers again. “He thinks I cheated.”“What?” he asked in disbelief.“He saw photos. Someone followed me to the hospital.”I wondered who took those. But I was not ignoring the possibility that it was my stepsister.“Damn it,” Adrian muttered. “I didn’t know something like this would happen.”I closed my eyes. “He already prepared the divorce papers.”There was silence on the other end.“What about the b

I released a long sigh and dropped my pen. Then I leaned back in my chair as I massaged my temple. My morning just started, but the stress I was feeling was already too much. So many contracts and business proposals to review. And now, I needed to handle the land that Arzhel wanted to get from me.There were knocks on my door. I sat properly, and seconds later my secretary entered. She had the expression she always had every time we were in trouble.“Ms. Analia, Architect Zerus and Engr. Lemuel are asking if you will still go through with the building of your new branch?”I secretly cursed Arzhel in my mind.“Tell them I’ll contact them tomorrow about it,” I calmly said.Even if I was stressed, I never showed it to my employees. I wanted them to remember me as the CEO who was always composed and competent. That was the branding I was trying so hard to build in my career. But Arzhel’s existence always tested that.My secretary nodded.“Do you want to set an appointment with Mr. Lowel

I kept receiving a lot of messages since last night from colleagues, business investors, and reporters. I ignored them all. I focused on what mattered now, my business. But in every meeting I attended that day, I felt some invisible tension in the air.I felt their curious gazes. I knew they wanted to ask questions, but no one dared to personally ask.I didn’t know what Arzhel did, but that article disappeared minutes after I finished checking it.I heard some knocks. It was my secretary.“Ms. Analia, your car is already prepared.”I nodded.I closed my laptop, then picked up my phone and bag. I needed to fetch Arriana.I wondered how her day went. Kids were just too young to care about the news, so I hoped her classmates didn’t bother her about it.Janna accompanied me to the parking lot while discussing my remaining meetings.“After this, you’ll have a meeting with our designer. Then by 8 p.m., you have a reservation at Emerald Steakhouse with Mr. Arzhel.”Her last sentence made me
