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 14

The requirement for us is not less than twelve unique paintings and I only got two done.

Me and my friends were given unique access to one of the art studios owned by our school. We each have a key to the studio and all of our paintings are safely stored in the workshop. 

On that very Tuesday, all four of us were around in the studio. The studio is large and bright with white walls and a high ceiling. The floor is made of light wood and there are several large windows on the right wall. 

The left wall is covered in large paintings and sketches, some of which are propped up on easels. There is a desk on the right wall with art supplies and a computer. 

In the center of the room, there is a wooden stool and a small table with a book on it. The overall mood of the room is peaceful and creative.

The four of us are gathered around the wooden stool in the center of the studio, each of us busy painting with our canvas position on the easel.
