Billionaire, Let's Divorce! novel Chapter 358

MIA’S POV

“Bitch!” I hissed as the call disconnected and I tossed my phone on the hotel bed.

“I'll show her a lesson she won't forget.”

I paced the room, wondering what to do.

Never would I forget that day four years ago when I heard Adam and Emily were getting engaged. He and I only had a small argument and separated for a few days, only for me to hear the bombshell.

I felt so betrayed.

We'd fought before, of course, but this time I stormed out, declaring I needed space. But I knew we would get back together after a few days.

Instead, barely a week later, I received the news that shattered my world. My boyfriend was getting married to my best friend! I nearly died when I heard it.

I couldn't bear to see them together, so I ran off to Europe. Paris, Rome, London, I traveled to different places just so I would forget my heartache. But no matter how many places I went; how many parties I attended; how many glasses of champagne I downed or how many designer dresses I bought, I was never able to heal.

It was pure chance that brought me back into Adam's orbit. A chance encounter at a rooftop bar in Manhattan, four years after I'd fled. I'd almost walked right past him, but his laugh —that rich, warm sound I'd once loved so much — had stopped me in my tracks.

Our eyes had met across the crowded bar, and at that moment, I knew. The spark was still there. I could see it in the way he gazed at me when we saw each other again after four years.

Adam had tried to play it cool, of course. He'd greeted me politely, asked about my travels, and made small talk about mutual acquaintances. But I could read between the lines that he still liked me. He was only holding back because of Emily. He didn’t love her, she took him from me.
