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 22

Diego's car is a sleek black sedan, reflecting a polished and professional aesthetic. Its exterior boasted a shiny finish, the metallic surface glinting under the sunlight.

Diego started the car engine immediately after we entered, he held the starry with one hand as he reversed the car into its usual starting position. He then looked at me over his shoulders.

"Put on your seatbelt," he said, before driving us out of the parking space. 

That time, I was wearing the office clothing I recently bought, a black suit and a white shirt inside it, I even wore khaki pants to go with the suit. The only thing I did not wear was a necktie because it was too suffocating for me.

Diego was also wearing a black suit, when I looked at the sight of him as he drove us to the house of our prospective client, I thought to myself, the two of us looked cool together, the matching style of black suit we all wore made us look so professional.
