All Chapters of The Billionaire's Beloved Ex-Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“What’s wrong?” Dominic asked, pausing his meal.I immediately showed him my phone screen. The news about Dominic and me had been spreading everywhere. Some people had even gone as far as editing the photos to make them look more convincing.Surprisingly, Dominic remained calm. He didn’t look worried in the slightest.“Don’t worry, Isla Grace. That’s how it is when you’re an actor. People always exaggerate things,” Aldridge Stevan said casually.“My husband used to be like that too. There were always rumors about him being involved with different actresses. At first, when we were newly married, I honestly couldn’t handle it,” Stella added.I was about to respond when Aldridge suddenly spoke again.“You two look really good together. Honestly, I’d love to see you become a real couple.”I immediately choked.I hurriedly covered my mouth and coughed several times.Dominic, who was sitting beside me, quickly reached for a glass of water and handed it to me.“Slow down,” he said.I took th

The company eventually issued an official clarification through its social media accounts. Dominic and I were not a couple. We were simply good friends outside the office.The statement had been planned from the very beginning. However, according to the strategy we had agreed on, Vivian immediately instructed her team to stir up the couple fandom.They deliberately leaked Dominic's second social media account, one that very few people even knew existed. Surprisingly, the account was filled with photos of the meals I had prepared for him—almost every single day.Within minutes, social media was buzzing again.Netizens began recalling my livestream from a while back, when I had casually cooked for fun. They started matching the dishes I had made during that livestream with the photos posted on Dominic's account."Seriously, all it took was one little trick to cause this much chaos. Your name is climbing the search rankings again!" Aria exclaimed, showing me her phone.I sighed."What I

I couldn't help feeling satisfied after finally shutting Leonard up. He had been picking fights with me all evening, as if I had nothing better to do than deal with his jealousy.However, my satisfaction didn't last long. Without warning, Leonard pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly.I was caught off guard, especially when he rested his chin on my shoulder."Isla Grace, can we stop fighting?" he pleaded, his voice surprisingly gentle.I remained silent for a moment before letting out a soft scoff."You're the one who started it, Leonard.""I know. I'm sorry." His arms tightened around me slightly. "Honestly, I'm just too jealous. I don't like seeing netizens pairing you with other men."I raised an eyebrow."So you finally admit it.""Stop teasing me.""Don't you think you deserve it?"Leonard sighed, but this time, he didn't argue back. Instead, he released me and looked at me with a calmer expression."You must be tired, right? Come on, let's get some sleep."I studied him

“This is the women’s restroom. What are you doing here, Leonard?”“What else would I be doing? I came to see my wife,” Leonard replied casually. Yet the look in his eyes was anything but calm.“Leonard, please leave. If someone finds us in here together, we could end up in the news,” I pleaded.“And what’s wrong with being seen with me?” he sneered. “Or would you rather be seen with Dominic?”“That’s not what I meant, but—”“But what?” he cut me off sharply. “You’re my wife, Isla Grace. Don’t think that just because you’re earning your own money now, you can start disrespecting your husband!”Panic immediately set in. His voice was loud enough that someone outside might hear us.“Leonard, let’s talk about this at home. Please,” I begged in a low voice.“I’m not going home unless you come with me.”“But the event isn’t over yet.”“I don’t care. If you want to stay, then stay. But I’ll wait for you until you’re ready to leave with me.”I let out a long sigh. Arguing with him now would o

At midnight, I woke up from a nightmare about my past, back when my father had sent me to Leonard's house. The pain I had experienced then still felt so real, as if all those terrible memories had just happened all over again.I let out a long sigh and glanced at Aria, who was sleeping soundly beside me. She looked so peaceful, as though she didn't have a single worry in the world.Sometimes, I couldn't help feeling envious of her. Ever since reuniting with her family, Aria had been showered with love and affection. She had finally received the kind of love she had always longed for.And what about me?My own parents had never truly cared about me. They only came around when they needed something. Once they got what they wanted, I was forgotten all over again.I didn't want to dwell on those thoughts any longer. With my heart still heavy, I got out of bed and made my way to the balcony.The cool night air greeted me as I stepped outside. I leaned against the railing and gazed up at th
