I Challenged My Ex-Billionaire Husband to a Duel

Married for two years, Willow was treated like dirt by Benjamin, who cherished his mistress like treasure. He was cruel and uncaring toward her; their marriage was only a prison. Willow put up with everything because she loved him deeply. Until that rainy night, when she lost her baby and crawled out in agony, calling for an ambulance, he left her pregnant to travel abroad with his mistress. She finally understood: she would never win his love. She penned a divorce agreement and left quietly. Two years later, Willow returned, surrounded by a sea of admirers. Her ex-husband cornered her, insisting, “My dear wife, I haven’t signed the divorce decree yet! You can’t escape from me!” She smiled coldly, “Sir, we are done.” His voice trembled as he recited their wedding vows. “Didn’t you promise to love me in good times and bad, in sickness and health? Don’t you remember?” Meeting his desperate gaze, she replied, “I no longer care. My life is for me to live, not yours to ruin.” He laughed darkly, stepping closer. “You changed your name and dyed your hair pink, fooling everyone but me.” Pulling her into a suffocating embrace, he hissed, “You either come back to me or I reveal to the world who you are: a divorced widow with a dead child.” Willow had built her career in France and gained stardom in the United States, but now the devil from her past threatened to destroy everything. She pushed him away, her heart racing. “The Nebula fashion contest. I compete with you. If I win, you leave me alone. If you win, I return to you.” A sinister smile spread across his lips, “It’s a deal.”

Chapter 19

That time, I rested my neck on the back of the chair I was sitting in and started looking at the ceiling. The Universe love I have yearned for, the love I thought I had achieved and the ecstasies I thought would last forever have all faded away in a flash. 

Now I am left like an empty shell of a used bottle.

I thought to myself at that time, is it wrong to believe in true love, was I foolish to hold on to my childhood Universe love fantasies, about the cosmos orchestrating destined unions that would last for eternity? 

I believed fully that Justin was my soulmate sent to me by the Universe, the prince I had been yearning for.

However, reality hit me hard like a heavy punch in the face. Now I am left confused about whether my Universe love theory is a fraud or that Justin is just a cheat, the lowest level a human could fall to.
