บททั้งหมดของ DIVORCING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE ALPHA KING: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 5

CELESTE POV“I’m not going to stop the wedding. But I can promise you, the last thing we’d be is a real couple.” Declan’s words echoed in my head as I stared at the candles that had nearly burned themselves into puddles of wax.He had kept his promise.Tonight was our anniversary, and despite everything I had done to make it perfect, Declan Bronte still hadn’t shown up.The restaurant was quiet now. Even the boy band I had hired to create a romantic atmosphere stopped playing about an hour ago.Three hours. I had been sitting here, staring at the door, waiting for him to rush in and give an excuse for why he had to show up late, but there was nothing.“Would you like to place your order now, ma’am?” the waitress asked gently.I could feel their eyes on me. The staff had watched me sit here for hours, and the sympathy in their eyes made my skin crawl.I had booked the entire restaurant so Declan and I could have a quiet moment to ourselves, hoping that would bring us closer, but inst

CELESTE“What the actual fuck?!” A familiar voice rang out as she stepped into my room, and it took everything in me not to roll my eyes.Hilary.If anyone would yell at a heartbroken woman on sight, it would be my best friend.Her heels clicked against the floor as she pushed the curtain open. “One would think your husband died, not just cheated on you,” she muttered under her breath, sinking her weight next to me.I didn’t respond.A week had passed since Declan signed the papers.

By the moons, if I come anywhere near him, I’ll be the one to send him to an early grave.”I felt nothing. Not ev

CELESTEI waited for the mocking laughter to follow. Anything to indicate that this was all a joke to him, and he was thriving in my misfortune. This is the moment he had been waiting for after all, so there was no point holding back.

Just say the word and I’ll help you get your revenge,” he muttered.For the first time in forever, Caspian looked serious about something. His muscles flexed underneath his shirt, and I could have sworn he was mad, but why would he be? Caspian hated me and detested my relationship with Declan even more. If this wasn’t another prank, I don’t know what it was.He inched closer, gripping onto my shoulder, and gods… He smells so nice. His eyes bore into mine, and we just stayed like that for a moment.
