All Chapters of The billionaire begged me to come back : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Mia Bennett stood outside the private study, her hand resting lightly against the closed door.She had been looking for her husband for nearly an hour.It was their second wedding anniversary.She had spent the entire afternoon preparing dinner herself, even though the Carter mansion had a dozen chefs.She had bought Ethan a watch.Not an ordinary watch.It had taken her months to save for it.Mia had even changed three times before finally choosing a simple black dress that she knew he liked.For once, she wanted to surprise him.She wanted tonight to be different.She wanted to believe that after two years of marriage, Ethan Carter might finally look at her and see more than a wife he had married out of obligation.She raised her hand to knock.Then she heard Vanessa's voice from inside."I can't keep waiting for you, Ethan."Mia froze.Her fingers slowly dropped.Vanessa.Why was she here?Mia moved closer to the door.Ethan's voice followed."You won't have to wait much longer."H

Mia didn't sleep that night.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Ethan's face.Not the husband she had once dreamed about.The man who had stood in front of everyone and accused her of cheating.The man who had believed a few photographs over two years of marriage.She turned beneath the thin blanket and stared at the ceiling.Her mother's apartment was quiet.Too quiet.But somehow, the silence felt safer than the Carter mansion ever had.At six in the morning, Mia finally got out of bed.She walked into the small kitchen and made herself coffee.Her hands were trembling.She hadn't eaten properly since yesterday.Ryan had insisted she eat dinner the previous night, but Mia had barely touched her food.She couldn't understand how her life had changed so quickly.Two days ago, she had been Ethan Carter's wife.Now she wasn't sure what she was.Her phone suddenly vibrated.She looked at the screen.Ethan.She stared at his name for several seconds before answering."What?"There wa

There's no doubt."Ethan ended the call.For several seconds, he remained completely still.His mother had never hidden her dislike for Mia.But hiring someone to follow his wife?That was different.He grabbed his jacket and walked out of the bedroom.He needed answers.Immediately.---Mia sat at the dining table the following morning, staring at the divorce papers.Ryan had arranged for a lawyer to look over them.Everything was ready.All she needed was Ethan's signature.She picked up the pen.Her hand stopped.For two years, she had imagined what leaving Ethan would feel like.She had thought she would feel free.Instead, she felt like someone had taken a piece of her heart and left it behind.Ry
