Pampered by my Billionaire CEO Husband

Aurelia Holt had quietly sacrificed her career to be a stay-at-home wife for her husband, Blake Carson, so that he could work full time while also pursuing his dream of becoming a successful producer in the future. But on the night of their second wedding anniversary, she watched her husband come home with another woman in his arms. It was Stella, his first love whom he was never really over. “She is already upset, you don’t have to make her feel worse. Is it wrong to show care and concern for my friend?” He argued as he clenched his jaws and kept his gaze steady on my face. “She isn’t just your friend, she was your ex, your first love. And isn’t it so convenient that everytime she needs you or something happens whenever I just want to spend some time with you?” He had always chosen Stella over her, putting her needs and feelings above hers. And that night, she finally had enough. “All you ever care about is Stella!” I continued to yell so loudly that I could practically hear my voice ringing in my ears. “You always do this! You always choose her over me, you always put her feelings above mine.” I watched as a smirk tugged at Stella’s lips as she watched me argue with my husband over her. Blake walked to her side, wrapping his arm around her as she curled her fingers around his arm with a pitiful look. “Stop yelling, you are scaring Stella. Why can’t you be more understanding and stop being so self-centered? Not everything is about you!” The last thing she remembered was her running out into the pouring rain and the next thing she knew, she was asking a stranger to marry her. That stranger was Xavier Wilder, the billionaire CEO of one of the most successful companies in the country. But there was more to him that Aurelia didn’t know just yet, something he was hiding from her. Together, she vowed to make her ex-husband’s life a living hell. There were only two things he cared about the most―his reputation and his ego. And she planned to destroy it all, bit by bit.

Chapter 47: The other woman

I couldn't shake off that aching feeling in my chest and before my mind could fully register the situation, my legs were pushing me forward and I was running out of the door. The image of the woman wrapping her arm around Xavier remained at the back of my mind the entire time, as if to haunt me. 

I found myself standing at the very same spot in the picture I once saw on the screen of my phone. I was standing in the hotel lobby, the sounds of chatter filled the air and my eyes darted around searching for a familiar face in the sea of crowd that surrounded me.

I couldn't see him anywhere and for a moment, I started to believe that maybe I was overthinking it and that maybe that picture wasn't even him to begin with. What's worse, it could even be a doctored image for all I knew. 

But I soon realised I wasn't overthinking and that the picture was indeed very real when my eyes landed on a sight I wished I hadn't seen.
