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 25

While we were sitting at the table during dinner, Diego leaned forward, his eyes locked onto mine. "I'm grateful for your presence in both our professional and personal lives. You've brought a fresh perspective and energy that I genuinely value." 

My heart filled with warmth as his words resonated deeply within me.

"Diego, working with you has been an incredible experience. You've shown me a world I never thought I'd be a part of," I confessed.

As we continued to eat dinner, the conversation flowed effortlessly between Diego and me. 

Diego's life experiences and wisdom were evident in the way he shared stories about his travels and encounters with different cultures. 

Despite the age gap between us, I felt an undeniable connection, a comfort in his presence that went beyond words. His laughter was infectious, and his eyes sparkled with a warmth that made me forget the worries that had been nagging at me.
