Marry My Billionaire Second Husband
Amelia has slaved her whole life, working multiple jobs to help support her poor husband Calebβ 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.
βKelsie is the woman that I love, the woman who truly deserves to be by my side,β Caleb said. βNow, sign the papers and I can end this farce of a marriage.β
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 Xβel 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, Matteoβs 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 Ameliaβs heart begins to open up to Matteoβs sincerity, Caleb comes crawling back, determined to ruin her life.

βOh?β Matteo asked, and Amelia caught a hint of amusement in his voice. βThen pray tell, what did we converse about?β
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.
βIβ¦ Iβ¦Iββ
βI have no girlfriend, Amelia,β Matteo said. βAnd before you overthink, I do not have a wife in secret either.β
His fingers didnβt let go of her wrist, and instead, it even tightened its grip. It wasnβt 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 hairβs breadth away from hers, and Amelia instinctively held her breath.
βUnless, perhaps you would like to volunteer?β
