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 26

The sight of Diego holding a cigar in one hand while his other hand rests on the handle of the bench, his black suit being highlighted by the moonlight while his eyes are looking upwards into the sight of the starry night.

My face turned extremely red as my train of thoughts kept heading in the direction I never expected. 

Out of embarrassment of my little sister looking at me, I changed my position from lying down on the sofa to a sitting position, I dragged the small pillow on the sofa and used it to cover my face. 

Alisha then started laughing and teasing me that my face had turned pink-red. That I can't hide the fact that there is a part of me that views Diego in a romantic fashion.

That night I rushed to my room feeling embarrassed of the sudden realization that hit me, that there is a chance that I could fall in love with Diego—even though I never thought of him as a romantic interest.
