Lahat ng Kabanata ng Billionaire Husband Got Secretary Pregnant, I Bankrupted Him: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

On our third wedding anniversary, I brought a gift to my husband's office. But as I passed his secretary's suite, I saw a young woman lying on a king-size bed.My husband's personal assistant was very respectful to her: "Mrs. Thorne, Mr. Thorne ordered that everything should be tailored to your preferences and the baby's. Anything you want, anytime."I stared at the gentle swell of her belly and called my father."Dad, that divorce agreement you drew up three years ago—you can have the lawyers send it over now."I'd barely hung up when the girl climbed off the bed."My husband's spending the afternoon with me, reading stories to our baby. Unless it's urgent, don't bother us. Don't interrupt our little family's quality time."She tossed the instructions at Kevin, then skipped off toward the CEO's office next door.As she passed me, I noticed the diamond bracelet on her wrist.It was the same one I'd had my eye on at an auction two weeks ago -- the one a mystery buyer had outbid everyone

"What are you going to do?"I walked toward Marcus."I'm going to turn you back into the nobody you used to be."Marcus went quiet for a moment, then burst out laughing."Vivienne, stop dreaming. The company's been under my control for ages now. As for your parents..."He scoffed."They already handed the company over to me. All they've got left is the five-hundred-dollar monthly allowance I give them. What exactly do you think they can do to change anything?"I hurled a teacup to the floor.A shard of glass grazed Marcus's cheek as it shattered.A bead of blood rolled down his face."Are you sure my parents only have this one company?"Marcus frowned."What's that supposed to mean?"I glanced at Amber, who had rushed over to cling to his arm.I smiled brightly. "When I first met you, you'd been beaten bloody by some homeless guy, begging on the side of the road like a stray dog. I took pity on you. I asked my father to sponsor your education."Those words were the last thing Marcus ev

Marcus Thorne hired a lawyer the very next day.When the lawyer informed him that my parents had transferred all their assets and company shares into my name on the second day of our marriage, he couldn't stop grinning.That same afternoon, egged on by Amber Holloway, he brought her along to the most exclusive gated community in the Hamptons.While the two of them were listening to a sales associate's pitch, I arrived at the sales office with Declan Mercer at my side.The moment Amber spotted me, she let out a snort of laughter."Sweetie, our lawyer has already filed to freeze your assets. How exactly do you plan to buy a mansion here? Stop pretending to be something you're not."Marcus had his arm around her waist, his gaze fixed on me."Vivienne, half of your money is legally mine. Until the divorce settlement is finalized, I won't let you spend a single cent."I nodded."And you? How are you planning to buy a place here?"Marcus blinked, caught off guard."We can obviously afford it

The moment they saw Mr. Forsythe, Marcus and Amber's faces drained of color.Amber blurted out before she could stop herself. "He's the one who borrowed the money. It has nothing to do with me."Marcus clenched his jaw in fury."Your signature's on the contract too."Amber froze. It took her a long moment to process what that meant.She grabbed Marcus by the collar."You're the one who said you could get half of Vivienne's assets! You said you could pay it back! You made me sign! I don't have any money. I don't have a single cent. If you try to force me, I'll... I'll abort the baby and leave you with nothing."Having failed to get a share of my assets, and now being threatened by Amber on top of it, Marcus grew increasingly agitated.He shoved her away."If you hadn't insisted on showing off, demanding that fancy house, and then driving up the price against her, would I be in debt? You cheap woman. Nothing good has happened to me since I got involved with you."I watched their little m
