Married to the Loveless Billionaire
Married for three years, Vivian Langston endured a cold, loveless union with Ethan Cole. He was cruel, indifferent, and blinded by his “white moonlight,” leaving her isolated and heartbroken. When she lost their unborn child on a stormy night, calling desperately for him, she realized she could no longer sacrifice herself for a love that would never be returned. Leaving quietly, she rebuilt her life with her twin, Veronica, at her side. Now, two years later, Vivian is back in the world she left behind—this time as the head of her family’s empire and Ethan’s new boss. With the support of her twin and a carefully crafted plan, she’s ready to take him down in the same ruthless way he once shattered her. But as the games begin, Ethan is no longer the man she left. Haunted by regret, he’s willing to do anything to make things right, even as the woman he scorned becomes more powerful and untouchable. But is it too late? Or will the broken vows and shattered hearts lead them down a path neither saw coming?
Chapter 16- Viv’s Resolve
I really needed to stop living alternate lives, drifting back and forth between my past and present. No matter what, memories of Ethan, the good times, and the bad times, always found their way back to me. But today, I promised myself I'd focus on the present—the future, whatever it holds. Today was about now. Not about Ethan. Not about Lily. Just me.
I stood in front of the mirror, determined to start fresh. I washed up, then hunted through my wardrobe for an outfit that radiated confidence. Finally, I chose my favorite cashmere sweater, which layered perfectly over a sea-green shirt, and paired them with sleek, creamy-colored pants and loafers. I looked at my reflection and nodded approvingly.
For the final touch, I sprayed my rare edition Mosuf perfume—an indulgent gift I'd saved for days like this—and slipped on Cali's limited edition pumps. I was ready for work. Confident. Invincible.
