Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire novel Chapter 19

### FLASHBACK ###

More than six years ago.

Over the past few months, Riley's secret rescuer had given her four boxes of chocolate. After the first instance, she received her requested Matcha flavor a month later. From her marketing class, the following two chocolates were taped to her school locker.

Each chocolate box had a friendly note.

2nd chocolate box: [Matcha. Your special request. Stay away from danger, Riley.]

3rd chocolate box: [Just checking in on you, Riley.]

4th chocolate box: [Glad you are not trying to kill yourself these days, Riley.]

Sometimes, Riley thought her secret savior was acting like the big brother she never had. Nonetheless, she happily ate her treat each time she received one. Of course, she did not get any chocolates in each semester break.

In the third semester of her second year in college, Riley walked into the university with people gossiping around.

"Adrian King won't be back to school. He met an accident. They say he is going to be paralyzed."

"No! I love Adrian King!"

"That can't be."

"Oh, my god," Riley echoed what she heard. "Adrian had an accident. I hope he is okay."

As Riley made her way to her classroom, she encountered Brian. Immediately, Riley asked, "How is Adrian?"

"He is better now. He got surgery, and it saved his legs, but he will need therapy." Brian shook his head and revealed, "It happened two weeks ago in Sweden."

Riley did not feel like she had the right to ask further. She wasn't that close with Adrian, but she sure appreciated his friendship, no matter how brief it was. She weakly said, "Tell him I said hi, and I hope he gets better soon."

"I will," Brian answered. "Hey, what classes do you have? Can I check yours? Maybe we have classes together."

As it turned out, Riley had Science class with Brian, so they often met at least three times a week.

One morning, Riley arrived early for her Science class. Her Digital Design class professor ended their discussion early. When she entered the classroom, she caught Brian putting a box of Royce Nama chocolate on her desk!

"Brian!" Riley called before rushing over. Her eyes widened at the box of chocolate, saying, "It was you? It was you all along? Six months ago, I fell from the beach jetty and almost drowned. You were the one who saved me!"

"Um." Brian raised a brow. He said, "Um -"

Riley picked up the box of chocolate and said, "You did this?"

"Um, yeah?" Brian replied.

"I can't believe it!" Riley was relieved that it was Brian, someone she knew. Tears stung her eyes as she said, "Oh, my god, Brian. Thank you so much. I could have died if you didn't save me."

For some time, Riley had been thinking about this mysterious person. She had always wondered who he was, what he looked like, and if he was a good individual.

Overwhelmed to finally meet her savior, Riley unwittingly embraced Brian, and he hugged her back. When she pulled away, she asked with a bright smile, "How can I ever repay you?"

After she said that, Brian's eyes glinted. He said, "Well, I have been really meaning to ask you out on a date. Will you?"
