Secretly Billionaire After Divorce

Ryan felt stupid as he stood up and slowly gathered his clothes and wore them back. It had been there. The signs that Stephanie didn't love him. But he had ignored them, hoping that someday she would see how much he loved her and reciprocate his feelings. And the humiliations too. The ones he had to go through with Stephanie's family because he seemed to them as nothing but poverty. He sat down on the chair and buried his head in his palm. The woman he loved only did see him as a substitute for her ex-boyfriend. If he could feel free about the realization that Stephanie would never love him, it would make him feel less stupid. He couldn't understand how his life had gotten to this point where he has almost become a house husband just to support his wife‘s career, as she asked for him at the wedding night. His mind wandered off to the past three years and the realization of what his choice has brought him. Ryan heard a shattering sound. He raised his head slowly to see the m

The car door opened and a butler walked toward Ryan, about two bodyguards escorted him.The butler bowed slightly before Ryan. "Sir, your three-year period agreement with the master has ended and since you couldn't keep Miss Stephanie with you all these while, you should return to New York and inherit the family business according to your promise."Ryan was fifteen years old when he was abducted by people he couldn't recognize, and he had lost his memory since then. When he at the orphanage home, he accidentally saved a man sprawled on the floor. The man turned out to be the master of Hill's family. He took Ryan to the Hill family and three years ago, Stephanie's grandfather, to show his appreciation to Ryan, asked that Ryan get married to Stephanie. Ryan had been under the impression that the Master of the Hill's family might have arranged the marriage for an extra purpose, but he never knew why. The Joy of being with Stephanie tempered his doubts.On the wedding night, Stephanie

Mrs Hill raised her chin in a haughty manner. She dressed in expensive clothes and wore one of her heel shoes that often made Ryan wonder how she found it convenient to walk in them. She was accompanied by some women wearing expensive clothes too. Each of them were carrying shopping bags, making it obvious that they had just gone on another show-off shopping, displaying how much money they had.Ryan's eyes moved back to Mrs Hill who was looking at him in total disdain. "What is wrong?" He asked.Mrs Hill was slightly caught off guard by the cold manner in which Ryan responded to her. If it were some other time, he would have bowed immediately he saw her. Is he sick?"What are you doing here? You are supposed to be home getting the breakfast ready for the family, you ungrateful idiot," She said in disdain."Ungrateful idiot?" Ryan asked coldly. "What more do I have to do so that you can be satisfied?" He moved closer to her and looked her straight in the eyes."Ever since I got married

The cab man laughed. "I can't even enjoy any of my favourite shows on television again. Advert everywhere with the hope of the new Lopez company noticing them." "Really?" "Those rich people. They can't do anything without making life difficult for the lower class," the cab man said. He stopped the car at the traffic light. Ryan couldn't figure out why he was getting excited about the news. He had not wanted to be involved in the company before, but now, it seems interesting. "I wonder who the CEO of the company is. He must be a really powerful folk to have that much control over all the other companies here." Ryan tried not to grin. He sat back in the cab and relaxed. He felt like telling the cab man that he is the CEO but all the sense of pride was replaced by something else at the cab man's next words. "Have you heard that the man that married to one of the Hill family divorced recently?" he continued driving when the light turned green. "Divorce?" Ryan asked, hoping it was n

After Ryan left, his words seemed to hang on and cause an uncomfortable silence in the room. Stephanie remained where she was, staring at Anderson. But Anderson needed no one to tell him that even though she was staring at him, her mind was faraway. Anderson finally decided to move closer to her. He took a step toward her, but she took two steps backward."Babe—""Stop. Don't come closer." She raised her hand to accompany how well she meant what she said."I am sorry, babe. I didn't do it for my own selfish interest. I did it for you," Anderson said.Noticing Stephanie's puzzled face, he continued talking, adding his excuses together."I wanted to help you escape this miserable life quickly. Even if you had come to me last night, nothing would have happened between us. I swear. You mean a lot more to me than you can ever imagine," Anderson said. His lies seemed to have some effects on her as her face slowly began to lit up."Can't you see the freedom you have now? That parasite is o
