All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Heiress: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

AriaThe door opened, and I wasn’t surprised to see Richard walking in, holding the documents.“Well… if it isn’t my dearest wife,” he said, walking over to me and placing a kiss on my forehead.I smiled at him. “What are you doing here?” I asked, feigning ignorance.Ryan had already told me all I needed to know, and he had confirmed the documents from his lawyer before Richard got his hand on them. Richard was beaming with smiles, looking as joyful as ever. But I was nervous. I knew he trusted his lawyer, but I was hoping he’d never read them until our anniversary. I knew he was foolish—he never read documents anyway, but I hoped he wouldn’t choose this time to play smart.“I brought the documents,” he told me, showing them to me.I looked at them, pretending to be sad. “This is really it?”Richard sighed, helping me up from the chair and taking me to the couch. We both sat down, and he gave me a long look.“We already decided, Aria. Now is not the time to change your mind.”“I know,

Aria “He couldn’t have picked a better dress,” I whispered to myself, straightening it as I got out of the car. I knew Richard was going to buy me an ugly dress, but deep down, I had still expected better. When I first laid my eyes on it, I immediately frowned. Was he trying to humiliate me? It was a white pink knitted dress that had no fit whatsoever—it fell past my knees and had a round neckline. There was no design, nothing flattering about it, and to make matters worse, he paired it with green heels and a black purse. Was he doing this on purpose, or did he truly have no fashion sense? It was not a flattering look and absolutely not my style. Well, I still wore the dress because I simply wanted to act like a doting wife, but I paired it with my own black heels and purse. “I think you look great,” Ryan said, stifling a laugh. I glared at him, then rolled my eyes. “Let’s just get this dinner over with. I’m not in the mood for this,” I whispered, walking inside. The recept

Aria“Mom!” I screamed, as we all rushed to her. I cradled her head in my lap, gently tapping her cheek.“Mom, wake up,” I cried.Aunt Mila yanked her away from me forcefully, glaring at me with raw hatred.“Don’t fucking touch her,” she spat.A cold chill ran down my spine. I watched through tear-filled eyes as she was pulled away from me. Sam carried her on his back, and they all left the room. I sat on the floor, staring blankly at the wall.“Aria,” Richard called out, and I turned toward him. “Take your seat,” he told me.He didn’t move an inch from his chair; he didn’t rush over out of concern. He simply picked up his glass of wine and drank it without a care in the world. I stood up shakily and walked back to my chair. I sat down, feeling completely hollow.“Finally, we’ve gotten rid of them,” Quinn said.I looked up, ignoring the pity in her husband's eyes. Quinn placed her hand over mine across the table.“You don’t need to worry about them, Aria. We are your new family. We wo

Aria They both turned to me, Richard raising his brows. My chest heaved with anger as I glared at him.“I am your wife! Don’t you have any respect for me?! How could you bring this woman here?! How could you?!” I screamed at him.Richard grabbed my arm forcefully and dragged me into a corner. He slammed me against the wall so hard that I hissed at the impact.“Bringing a woman here doesn’t change anything, Aria. You’re still my wife,” he told me.I let my tears spill over—I couldn’t hold them back any longer. “I am your wife, Richard! That’s cheating! How can you be cheating right in front of my face?!” I cried.“Everyone cheats. I’m not special,” he spat, staring straight into my eyes.“So Mom was right… you were cheating,” I whispered.“Forget that old hag. I still love you regardless, that’s all that matters.”“You call that love?!” I yelled at him. “I’ve been with you every step of the way, standing by you and being a good wife! Hell, I gave you my company! Is this how you repay

AriaWe got into his car, and he drove away. “Why did you tell William what happened? Now he knows about it,” I said, whispering the last part.“He kept calling because you weren’t picking up your calls and you didn’t come to work without any notice. He was worried, so I just had to tell him,” he replied.“You’re going to kill the girl?”“Well… yeah. We need to shut her up. She could pose a threat in the future if we let her live,” he responded.“And what about Richard?”“Don is only keeping him alive because you haven’t given him the order to. But if he poses a threat to you, he will be killed. He’s going to wonder how you got out of jail, but you can easily use William as an excuse. He has a few connections,” he replied.I sighed. Things had gone left in a jiffy. I had no idea how I was going to face Wayne, but I knew I couldn’t ignore him forever. I looked outside the window as Ryan drove silently. Shortly, we arrived at the hospital. I followed Ryan until we reached their ward. I
