Marry My Billionaire Second Husband

Amelia has slaved her whole life, working multiple jobs to help support her poor husband Caleb― only to discover he is a millionaire! When confronted, Caleb feels no guilt. He divorces her immediately to pursue his true love, leaving her with nothing to her name. “Kelsie is the woman that I love, the woman who truly deserves to be by my side,” Caleb said. “Now, sign the papers and I can end this farce of a marriage.” But thankfully, fate has yet to close all its doors on her. The messy breakup has led Amelia to meet the elusive Matteo Montgomery, the mysterious owner of X’el International Inc., and even though Amelia could have sworn that this is the first time they have ever met, Matteo seemed to hold more interest in her than ordinary. With her divorce finalized, Matteo’s courtship quickly grows more extravagant. He offers her everything, from a job as his secretary, a new penthouse apartment, and a permanent home in his heart. But just as Amelia’s heart begins to open up to Matteo’s sincerity, Caleb comes crawling back, determined to ruin her life. *** 【Excerpt】 “Oh?” Matteo asked, and Amelia caught a hint of amusement in his voice. “Then pray tell, what did we converse about?” Amelia swallowed. Good heavens, he was so close. She could barely even breathe, afraid that every movement she made would just amplify how loud her heartbeat was. It was racing like a bullet train at this point, and she felt it clog at her throat, refusing her a chance to speak. “I… I…I―” “I have no girlfriend, Amelia,” Matteo said. “And before you overthink, I do not have a wife in secret either.” His fingers didn’t let go of her wrist, and instead, it even tightened its grip. It wasn’t painful in the slightest, but it sent surges of electricity rushing through her body as though she had been struck by lightning in the most thrilling of ways. A coy smile curved his lips, and he leaned in just the slightest. His lips were now a hair’s breadth away from hers, and Amelia instinctively held her breath. “Unless, perhaps you would like to volunteer?”

A Sudden Visit

Kelsie Friesent?

Amelia's eyebrows quickly knitted themselves together as she stared at Dimitri's reply, chewing on her bottom lip as she did so. She wasn't exactly the best of friends with Kelsie — in fact, it was quite the opposite seeing as to how Kelsie was Amelia's ex-husband's new partner — but this message didn't seem like a threat.

No matter how she looked at it, Kelsie seemed to be warning her.

But of what?

Why would Kelsie Friesent bother to warn her of such things when she surely wanted her gone as much as Emmeline did?

Before Amelia could think much of it, the phone on her desk let out a blinking red light. Amelia jumped in surprise before pressing the receive button, picking up the phone at the same time.

"Miss Kentwood, there's someone at the front desk requesting to see you," the receptionist said the moment Amelia answered the call.

"Me?" Amelia asked, confused.
