All Chapters of The Billionaire's Beloved Ex-Wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I was usually the first one up. I’d lay out my husband’s work clothes and then make breakfast for everyone. But this time, I wasn't going to do it. It wasn't fair that they all slept soundly and woke up to a ready-made meal, while I did all the hard work—only for them to show absolutely no appreciation for my sacrifices. They constantly criticized my cooking. I didn't want to wake Leonard up, either. I didn't care anymore if he was late for work. All this time, I’d never received a monthly allowance because my mother-in-law held the purse strings. Come to think of it, I’d been a fool. Nothing more than a maid and a free prostitute. The thought of it made me sick. Before long, Leonard woke up. He rushed to take a shower. Afterward, he woke me up in a rather annoying manner. "Isla Grace, where’s my work uniform?" "Can’t you get it yourself? I’m still sick," I replied, keeping my eyes closed.Leonard snorted in annoyance and headed straight for the walk-in closet. I quickly show

The next day when I woke up I felt like my waist was going to break. Last night I cried and asked to stop, but Leonard's angry mode was terrible.I'm like a rabbit that was eaten without a trace by a hungry wolf. But there was one thing that was different, last night he said my name.Usually what he calls is the name Ariel, his ex-lover. When I looked to the side, my husband was no longer in bed. But there was the sound of gurgling water from the bathroom. Leonard put the black card that I rejected last night on the nightstand next to mybathroomSuddenly my cell phone rang. There was a call from Aria. "Hello."[Hello, why haven't I picked up your phone before?] "Sorry, I just woke up. The phone was on silent mode." [Just waking up at this hour?] "Last night Leonard and I argued, then he tortured me all night." [Fuck, let's get a post-mortem and then report to the hospital.]"Um, I don't mean that torture. But torture between husband and wife." [Damn it, why didn't you say so ea

Just as my husband and I were in the middle of a tense moment, a knock sounded from outside the room.“Leonard, are you in there? Come on, hurry up for dinner. We have plans later!”Serra called out. I immediately sneered.“There, your lover is calling. Let me go now!” I said pointedly.“Are you jealous?” Leonard teased, gazing deeply into my eyes.“I might have been once, but not anymore. I just want you to divorce me soon. After that, I’ll pray for your happiness with Serra!” I replied, pushing him out of the bathroom.“Don’t even think about a divorce until you’ve paid off your father’s debt!” Leonard snapped, his voice laced with anger.“Fine. I’ll pay it!” I retorted earnestly.Knock... knock... knock...Serra knocked even harder.“Leonard, why is it taking so long?”“I’m just taking a quick shower!” Leonard called back.I scoffed. Serra always acted as if she were the daughter-in-law of the house. And what was most infuriating was that Leonard always indulbathroomSuddenly, Leon

"Why do you look so panicked?" Boss Dominic asked."It's nothing, Boss."My heart was pounding. I hoped Leonard hadn't recognized me earlier.Aria appeared shortly after, and we got into the next elevator."Sorry for the wait," Aria said."Don't worry about it," Dominic replied.Upon arriving home, I quickly stepped out of Boss Dominic's car."Thank you, Boss. Sorry for the trouble.""If your head still hurts, it's fine if you don't come in tomorrow," Boss Dominic said with a sincere smile."Okay, Boss. Thanks again.""You're welcome.""See you later, Isla," Aria added."Yeah. Drive safely."After Boss Dominic's car drove away, I walked through the gate. Leonard's car was already parked in the driveway, that meant he had gotten home before me.When I entered the house, I was startled to find my mother-in-law still awake. She looked furious."Good heavens, coming home at this hour? Where have you been? And why do you smell like alcohol?" my mother-in-law shouted.I was at a loss for wh

Aldridge Stevan and I managed to finish the recording in just two days. The producer repeatedly praised me for being able to hold my own alongside a legendary singer."Isla Grace, you're amazing! In less than a day, your song has already hit the top of the charts!" Aria cheered, hugging me tightly."That’s because Aldridge Stevan is such a huge name. Plus, he was on hiatus for three years, so naturally, his fans have been missing his new music.""Haven't you seen the comments? Everyone admires your voice, too. And the fact that your name and face are still being kept secret just makes them even more curious!" Aria exclaimed.I smiled, it felt like I had been reborn. This was my dream, and my life was just beginning.When I got home, my mother-in-law and Anna were having coffee in the yard while listening to the song. I was a little surprised to discover we shared the same taste in music."Mother-in-law, my idol finally released a new song. All this time, I could only listen to his old
