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.
I Was The Substitute Bride!
Claire's POV
I had only come to Evander because I needed something from him. Yet here I was, standing in front of him, feeling as though the weight of his words had shattered something inside me. The way he spoke, the pain in his voice— it was like staring into a storm I couldn't pull him out of.
My heart ached, and every fiber of my being screamed at me to reach out to him, to hold him and tell him he didn't have to carry all that darkness alone. But I couldn't. Not with who he was. Not with who we were to each other for now!
If I did reach him, all the walls that were cracking might crumble right away.
I stood frozen, silent, letting the heavy silence hang between us. Finally, I managed to speak, though my voice came out shaky, betraying the emotions I tried so hard to hide.
