Chased By My Billionaire Ex-husband
Claire Reed thought she married the man of her dreams, Evander Kensington, but she had no idea that their marriage was built on a lie; a family vow that trapped him by her side. His heart, however, belonged to another woman, his white lotus. No matter how hard Claire tried to win Evander’s love, he only grew colder, and his family treated her like she didn’t exist. When she lost their unborn child, Claire’s world shattered. She wanted to see Evander, but he didn't bother to check on her. Instead, he went to meet that white lotus. Unable to bear the betrayal, she decided to free Evander from this marriage, leaving behind a letter and divorce papers, claiming she now had someone else she loved! ~~~~ "You’re mine, and I’ll never let you go!” he declared, his voice dark with possessiveness. “But I don’t want you anymore! You can have Susan—I’m now in love with someone else!” Claire shot back, her words sharp and final. "You can't be with anyone. Do you even know how sleepless nights I've without you?" Evander's hold on her tightened. "I'll see how you become some else when I'll claim you," he pronounced before crashing his lips on her.
“Mommy! I finally found you!”
Claire's POV
I stared at the elderly woman standing before me, her frail frame slightly hunched, but her presence was as warm and familiar as ever. My chest tightened, and before I could stop myself, tears welled up in my eyes.
"Grandmother…" I whispered, my voice breaking. It had been so long since I'd seen her, and amidst all this chaos, I hadn't even realized how much I missed her. Without a second thought, I pushed off the bed, ignoring the sharp pain in my ankle, and threw my arms around her. "I am so sorry!" The words spilled out, uncontrollable, as if a dam had burst inside me, releasing every ounce of regret and sorrow I'd been holding in.
She wrapped her frail arms around me, trembling, but her embrace was just as warm and just as comforting as I remembered. I buried my face in her shoulder, letting the tears flow freely now, allowing myself to fall apart in her arms.
