All Chapters of The Billionaire's Beloved Ex-Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I was grateful that my hope had finally come true. When I pressed the buzzer for Dominic’s apartment, it didn’t take long for my boss to open the door. "Isla Grace?" Dominic exclaimed, looking surprised by my arrival. "Boss, may I come in?" I asked, fighting back a sense of embarrassment. "Sure, come on in!" Dominic opened the door wide so I could step inside easily. I walked into his apartment, feeling awkward. I sat on the sofa, clasping my hands together. My heart was racing because there was something I needed to tell him. Dominic got me a drink and handed it to me. "Here, have a drink." "Thank you, Boss." I took the glass with both hands but just held it, without any intention of taking a sip. Dominic watched me for a moment. It seemed he had already realized that there was a specific reason for my visit. "I know you aren't the type to drop by on a whim. Tell me, how can I help you?" I was startled. I hadn't expected Dominic to be able to read my mind just by looking a

It had been a long time since I last cooked, even though cooking is one of my hobbies.That’s why, this morning, I prepared a special meal for my boss as a token of my gratitude. "Wow, it smells amazing. What are you cooking, Isla Grace?" Dominic asked, suddenly walking into the kitchen. "Give it a taste—is anything missing from the seasoning?" I replied politely.Dominic stepped closer and scooped up a small amount of the dish with a teaspoon. "It’s still hot, blow on it first," I warned him. "Right," Dominic answered with a chuckle. As soon as he tasted it, his eyes lit up instantly. "It’s truly delicious! Isla Grace, with talent like this, why haven't you opened a restaurant?" Dominic exclaimed, making me feel honored. "If I fail as a singer, that is indeed my plan," I replied, half-joking. "Oh, no! I won't let you fail, Isla Grace. I’ll pour all my resources into making you the number one singer." I looked at my boss's face, there was no trace of a joke in his expression.

I felt awkward as Dominic massaged my sprained ankle. “Does it hurt?” “No,” I replied shyly. “But I feel this isn't appropriate, since you’re my boss.” Dominic chuckled softly. “At the office, I am indeed your superior. But at home, I’m your friend. Have you not considered me a friend all this time?” he teased. I fell silent. His words touched my heart. Dominic had always been kind to me, he never once belittled or looked down on me. “Thank you, Boss.” “You’re welcome. I’m in a great mood today. Aldridge Stevan’s concert was a huge success. Your profile is rising, too. By the time you make your debut, you’ll already have fans.” “Thank you, Boss. It’s all thanks to the strategy you put in place.” “That’s because you’re worth fighting for. If you become famous, I benefit too.”For some reason, I felt that Dominic wasn't just thinking about profit. There was sincerity in the way he helped me get back on my feet. “My ankle feels better, Boss. Now it’s my turn to treat your wound

Leonard smiled with satisfaction as he reached his peak.It was my fertile window today. There was a chance I might conceive. I wept in despair.I knew it would be hard to break free from him after this. That cunning man would surely use the recording to blackmail me."Darling, why are you crying? You were enjoying it just moments ago," Leonard coaxed. "Was I too rough? I tried to hold back and be gentle." "Shut up, you shameless man!" I snapped."Oh? You still have energy? In that case, let's go again," Leonard teased."No! Do you want to kill me?""How could this be called killing? We’re just enjoying the intimacy between husband and wife."I never imagined Leonard could turn into someone like this. But suddenly, Leonard’s expression turned serious. He gently took my hand and kissed it."Isla Grace, I truly can't live without you. Give me one more chance to make things right?" Leonard pleaded.I turned my face away. Leonard’s good looks—especially when he was in full-on seduction m

“Why are you reacting like that? Weren’t you the one who wanted children more than anything?” Leonard asked.I immediately put on my sweetest smile so he wouldn’t become suspicious.“Of course I want children, but not right now. At least not until my career is stable,” I said, trying to convince him.Three days after the house was purchased, we officially moved into our new home.My mother-in-law was obviously against it because Leonard was her beloved son. However, she didn’t dare argue with me after Leonard had warned her.Ever since we moved, Leonard had been showering me with attention, although his possessiveness had only grown worse.Especially after my debut, my name began to rise quickly. I received countless offers to perform at various events. Whenever I had a performance, Leonard always came to watch me, even though I knew how busy he was.But my success was also largely thanks to Dominic, who had used all the resources at his disposal to promote me. That was why I made sur
