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 12

I did not want to read it in front of the girls but Lucy who was sitting close to me caught a glimpse of Justin's name written as the sender. She insisted that I check it out, suggesting to me that it might be urgent.

While looking at Lucy's devious smile, which indicated that she wanted to know what was inside the message Justin had sent me, I read the message out loud. 

In the message, Justin asked me on a date. He said that he had booked us a nice French restaurant in town, and even mentioned the time for the date which is 8 pm in the night. I thought that was a bit late for having dinner but I was still excited about the date.

Lucy Jumped in joy for me, going on my first date since joining the college, Maya was smiling without saying any words after hearing the news and Rika was neutral, I could not tell at that time what she was thinking. 

Her mood is more calm now but not calm enough to suggest she fully supports my decision to go out with Justin.
